Tom Lane 6f66fadad9 Fix confusion about the return rowtype of SQL-language procedures.
There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a
single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as
supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite.
(This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard
to do nested composite-returning functions without it.)

As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary
functions.  It's disastrous for procedures however.  All procedures
that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD,
and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column
per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters
is composite.  Doing something else leads to an assertion failure
or core dump.

This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule
when considering procedures.  However, that requires adding another
argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be
getting called by external callers.  Therefore, in the back branches
convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a
new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext.

Per report from Yahor Yuzefovich.  This has been broken since we
implemented procedures, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Heikki Linnakangas 4fce5f970d Disconnect if socket cannot be put into non-blocking mode
Commit 387da18874 moved the code to put socket into non-blocking mode
from socket_set_nonblocking() into the one-time initialization
function, pq_init(). In socket_set_nonblocking(), there indeed was a
risk of recursion on failure like the comment said, but in pq_init(),
ERROR or FATAL is fine. There's even another elog(FATAL) just after
this, if setting FD_CLOEXEC fails.

Note that COMMERROR merely logged the error, it did not close the
connection, so if putting the socket to non-blocking mode failed we
would use the connection anyway. You might not immediately notice,
because most socket operations in a regular backend wait for the
socket to become readable/writable anyway. But e.g. replication will
be quite broken.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

David Rowley 74530804fc Fix incorrect accessing of pfree'd memory in Memoize
For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to
resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple
memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed
resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash
table.

What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the
per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr().  ExecEvalExpr() may
have required a memory allocation.  Both MemoizeHash_hash() and
MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context
and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset
before MemoizeHash_equal() was called.  This could have resulted in
MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory.

This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some
other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to
overwrite it.  Otherwise, the original contents would have been intact.
However, this clearly caused issues on MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.

David Rowley ab64b275ad Fix deparsing of Consts in postgres_fdw ORDER BY
For UNION ALL queries where a union child query contained a foreign
table, if the targetlist of that query contained a constant, and the
top-level query performed an ORDER BY which contained the column for the
constant value, then postgres_fdw would find the EquivalenceMember with
the Const and then try to produce an ORDER BY containing that Const.

This caused problems with INT typed Consts as these could appear to be
requests to order by an ordinal column position rather than the constant
value.  This could lead to either an error such as:

ERROR:  ORDER BY position <int const> is not in select list

or worse, if the constant value is a valid column, then we could just
sort by the wrong column altogether.

Here we fix this issue by just not including these Consts in the ORDER
BY clause.

In passing, add a new section for testing ORDER BY in the postgres_fdw
tests and move two existing tests which were misplaced in the WHERE
clause testing section into it.

Tom Lane 0fe82e45cb Cope with a deficiency in OpenSSL 3.x's error reporting.
In OpenSSL 3.0.0 and later, ERR_reason_error_string randomly refuses
to provide a string for error codes representing system errno values
(e.g., "No such file or directory").  There is a poorly-documented way
to extract the errno from the SSL error code in this case, so do that
and apply strerror, rather than falling back to reporting the error
code's numeric value as we were previously doing.

Problem reported by David Zhang, although this is not his proposed
patch; it's instead based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since any of them are likely
to be used with recent OpenSSL.

Dean Rasheed b5c645d2a2 Fix handling of self-modified tuples in MERGE.
When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified,
there are 2 possible causes:

1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current
    command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one
    source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be
    an error.

2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command
    in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is
    modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the
    query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a
    plain UPDATE or DELETE command.

In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2),
causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases.

In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update
from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to
silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row,
instead of reporting an error.

Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases.

Per report from Wenjiang Zhang. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was
introduced.

Tom Lane 3b671dcf53 Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM.
In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been
simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression,
ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result
rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query.
That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a
tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to
ignore the coldeflist.  (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc
to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.)

I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences
from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong
type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query,
CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it.  However, we definitely do
fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than
the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns
fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse
results in non-assert builds).

To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there
is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one.

Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached
after this fix.  It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since
later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns.

The only other place I could find that is doing something similar
is inline_set_returning_function.  There's no live bug there because
we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency
change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan.

Per report from PetSerAl.  After some debate I've concluded that
this should be back-patched.  There is a small risk that somebody
has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge
this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the
failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

Michael Paquier 50b5913a87 Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index builds
As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel
workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and
predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by
eval_const_expressions().

As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened
in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as
parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the
function are not safe in parallel workers.  Depending on the expressions
or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail.

Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe
predicate and expressions.  Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be
able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index
data.

Tom Lane 940489b467 Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.
When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought
it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to
catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds.  However, it will also
fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to
access its own table.  We occasionally see reports of people trying
to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors
as a result.  We can provide a more on-point message by making this
a regular runtime check.

While at it, adjust the similar error check in
systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text.  That one
is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as
well use a translatable message if we have one.

David Rowley 1b3495e29d Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition for boolean IS NOT clauses
Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a
boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol
IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true"
and "boolcol IS false".  These are not equivalent as the NOT version
matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs.  This incorrect assumption
meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain
NULL values.

Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store
NULLs.

To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean
column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol
IS NOT true".  This could result in queries filtering out NULL values
with a LIST partitioned table and "ERROR:  invalid strategy number 0"
for RANGE and HASH partitioned tables.

Tom Lane 26c89d1054 Remove race condition in pg_get_expr().
Since its introduction, pg_get_expr() has intended to silently
return NULL if called with an invalid relation OID, as can happen
when scanning the catalogs concurrently with relation drops.
However, there is a race condition: we check validity of the OID
at the start, but it could get dropped just afterward, leading to
failures.  This is the cause of some intermittent instability we're
seeing in a proposed new test case, and presumably it's a hazard in
the field as well.

We can fix this by AccessShareLock-ing the target relation for the
duration of pg_get_expr().  Since we don't require any permissions
on the target relation, this is semantically a bit undesirable.  But
it turns out that the set_relation_column_names() subroutine already
takes a transient AccessShareLock on that relation, and has done since
commit 2ffa740be in 2012.  Given the lack of complaints about that, it
seems like there should be no harm in holding the lock a bit longer.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane 806f989515 Avoid concurrent calls to bindtextdomain().
We previously supposed that it was okay for different threads to
call bindtextdomain() concurrently (cf. commit 1f655fdc3).
It now emerges that there's at least one gettext implementation
in which that triggers an abort() crash, so let's stop doing that.
Add mutexes guarding libpq's and ecpglib's calls, which are the
only ones that need worry about multithreaded callers.

Note: in libpq, we could perhaps have piggybacked on
default_threadlock() to avoid defining a new mutex variable.
I judge that not terribly safe though, since libpq_gettext could
be called from code that is holding the default mutex.  If that
were the first such call in the process, it'd fail.  An extra
mutex is cheap insurance against unforeseen interactions.

Per bug #18312 from Christian Maurer.  Back-patch to all
supported versions.

Tom Lane 9f041b041f Clean up Windows-specific mutex code in libpq and ecpglib.
Fix pthread-win32.h and pthread-win32.c to provide a more complete
emulation of POSIX pthread mutexes: define PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
and make sure that pthread_mutex_lock() can operate on a mutex
object that's been initialized that way.  Then we don't need the
duplicative platform-specific logic in default_threadlock() and
pgtls_init(), which we'd otherwise need yet a third copy of for
an upcoming bug fix.

Also, since default_threadlock() supposes that pthread_mutex_lock()
cannot fail, try to ensure that that's actually true, by getting
rid of the malloc call that was formerly involved in initializing
an emulated mutex.  We can define an extra state for the spinlock
field instead.

Also, replace the similar code in ecpglib/misc.c with this version.
While ecpglib's version at least had a POSIX-compliant API, it
also had the potential of failing during mutex init (but here,
because of CreateMutex failure rather than malloc failure).  Since
all of misc.c's callers ignore failures, it seems like a wise idea
to avoid failures here too.

A further improvement in this area could be to unify libpq's and
ecpglib's implementations into a src/port/pthread-win32.c file.
But that doesn't seem like a bug fix, so I'll desist for now.

In preparation for the aforementioned bug fix, back-patch to all
supported branches.

Alexander Korotkov 503299b7f7 Fix wrong logic in TransactionIdInRecentPast()
The TransactionIdInRecentPast() should return false for all the transactions
older than TransamVariables->oldestClogXid.  However, the function contains
a bug in comparison FullTransactionId to TransactionID allowing full
transactions between nextXid - 2^32 and oldestClogXid - 2^31.

This commit fixes TransactionIdInRecentPast() by turning the oldestClogXid into
FullTransactionId first, then performing the comparison.

Peter Eisentraut d17a3a4c6a Fix propagation of persistence to sequences in ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMN
Fix for 344d62fb9a9: That commit introduced unlogged sequences and
made it so that identity/serial sequences automatically get the
persistence level of their owning table.  But this works only for
CREATE TABLE and not for ALTER TABLE / ADD COLUMN.  The latter would
always create the sequence as logged (default), independent of the
persistence setting of the table.  This is fixed here.

Note: It is allowed to change the persistence of identity sequences
directly using ALTER SEQUENCE.  So mistakes in existing databases can
be fixed manually.

Heikki Linnakangas f2fdea198b Run REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY in right security context
The internal commands in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY are
correctly executed in SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION mode, except for
creating the temporary "diff" table, because you cannot create
temporary tables in SRO mode. But creating the temporary "diff" table
is a pretty complex CTAS command that selects from another temporary
table created earlier in the command. If you can cajole that CTAS
command to execute code defined by the table owner, the table owner
can run code with the privileges of the user running the REFRESH
command.

The proof-of-concept reported to the security team relied on CREATE
RULE to convert the internally-built temp table to a view. That's not
possible since commit b23cd185fd, and I was not able to find a
different way to turn the SELECT on the temp table into code
execution, so as far as I know this is only exploitable in v15 and
below. That's a fiddly assumption though, so apply this patch to
master and all stable versions.

Thanks to Pedro Gallegos for the report.

Noah Misch 8fa4a1ac61 Sync PG_VERSION file in CREATE DATABASE.
An OS crash could leave PG_VERSION empty or missing.  The same symptom
appeared in a backup by block device snapshot, taken after the next
checkpoint and before the OS flushes the PG_VERSION blocks.  Device
snapshots are not a documented backup method, however.  Back-patch to
v15, where commit 9c08aea6a3 introduced

Noah Misch d493bed28f Handle interleavings between CREATE DATABASE steps and base backup.
Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile()
or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects.  The symptom
was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or
pg_filenode.map.  If missing the directory, recovery would fail.  Either
missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database
unusable.  Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action
first and then write a WAL entry" strategy.  That has a side benefit of
moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways
to PANIC.  Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so
it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.

Tom Lane 12ec16d11c Apply band-aid fix for an oversight in reparameterize_path_by_child.
The path we wish to reparameterize is not a standalone object:
in particular, it implicitly references baserestrictinfo clauses
in the associated RelOptInfo, and if it's a SampleScan path then
there is also the TableSampleClause in the RTE to worry about.
Both of those could contain lateral references to the join partner
relation, which would need to be modified to refer to its child.
Since we aren't doing that, affected queries can give wrong answers,
or odd failures such as "variable not found in subplan target list",
or executor crashes.  But we can't just summarily modify those
expressions, because they are shared with other paths for the rel.
We'd break things if we modify them and then end up using some
non-partitioned-join path.

In HEAD, we plan to fix this by postponing reparameterization
until create_plan(), when we know that those other paths are
no longer of interest, and then adjusting those expressions along
with the ones in the path itself.  That seems like too big a change
for stable branches however.  In the back branches, let's just detect
whether any troublesome lateral references actually exist in those
expressions, and fail reparameterization if so.  This will result in
not performing a partitioned join in such cases.  Given the lack of
field complaints, nobody's likely to miss the optimization.

Report and patch by Richard Guo.  Apply to 12-16 only, since
the intended fix for HEAD looks quite different.  We're not quite
ready to push the HEAD fix, but with back-branch releases coming
up soon, it seems wise to get this stopgap fix in place there.
