When enabling wal_compression, there is a risk to leak data similarly to
the BREACH and CRIME attacks on SSL where the compression ratio of
a full page image gives a hint of what is the existing data of this page.
This vulnerability is quite cumbersome to exploit in practice, but doable.
So this patch makes wal_compression PGC_SUSET in order to prevent
non-superusers from enabling it and exploiting the vulnerability while
DBA thinks the risk very seriously and disables it in postgresql.conf.
Back-patch to 9.5 where wal_compression was introduced.

Tom fixed another one of these in commit 7f32dbcd, but there was another
almost identical one in libpq docs. Per his comment:
HP's web server has apparently become case-sensitive sometime recently.
Per bug #13479 from Daniel Abraham. Corrected link identified by Alvaro.

Some buildfarm animals are still unhappy. These changes are becoming too
invasive for backpatch, for little benefit. This reverts commits
080c4dab3d9575449b81604051b160597cfd55c3 and
ce0da6261004ac15f01c21d8b94f11af7a098243.

The AIX 7.1 libm is static, and AIX postgres executables do not export

This formalizes a decision implicit in commit
4ea51cdfe85ceef8afabceb03c446574daa0ac23 and adds clean detection of
affected systems. Vendor updates are available for each such known bug.
Back-patch to 9.5, where the aforementioned commit first appeared.

POSIX does not specify the -q option, and many implementations do not
offer it. Don't bother changing the MSVC build system, because having
non-GNU diff on Windows is vanishingly unlikely. Back-patch to 9.2,
where this invocation was introduced.

The psql crash happened when no current connection existed. (The second
new check is optional given today's undocumented NULL argument handling
in PQhost() etc.) Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

On some Linux systems, "-lrt" exposed pthread-functions, so that linking
with -lrt was seemingly enough to make a program that uses pthreads to
work. However, when linking libpq, the dependency to libpthread was not
marked correctly, so that when an executable was linked with -lpq but
without -pthread, you got errors about undefined pthread_* functions from
libpq.
To fix, test for the flags required to use pthreads earlier in the autoconf
script, before checking any other libraries.
This should fix the failure on buildfarm member shearwater. gharial is also
failing; hopefully this fixes that too although the failure looks somewhat
different.

Our version was different from the upstream version in that we tried to use
all possible pthread-related flags that the compiler accepts, rather than
just the first one that works. That change was made in commit
e48322a6d6cfce1ec52ab303441df329ddbc04d1, to work-around a bug affecting GCC
versions 3.2 and below (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8888),
although we didn't realize that it was a GCC bug at the time. We hardly care
about that old GCC versions anymore, so we no longer need that workaround.
This fixes the macro for compilers that print warnings with the chosen
flags. That's pretty annoying on its own right, but it also inconspicuously
disabled thread-safety, because we refused to use any pthread-related flags
if the compiler produced warnings. Max Filippov reported that problem when
linking with uClibc and OpenSSL. The warnings-check was added because the
workaround for the GCC bug caused warnings otherwise, so it's no longer
needed either. We can just use the upstream version as is.
If you really want to compile with GCC version 3.2 or older, you can still
work-around it manually by setting PTHREAD_CFLAGS="-pthread -lpthread"
manually on the configure command line.
Backpatch to 9.5. I don't want to unnecessarily rock the boat on stable
branches, but 9.5 seems like fair game.

Test the interactions with permissions and LOCK TABLE. Specifically
ROW EXCLUSIVE, ACCESS SHARE, and ACCESS EXCLUSIVE modes against
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and TRUNCATE permissions. Discussed
by Stephen Frost and Michael Paquier, patch by the latter. Backpatch
to 9.5 where matching behavior was first committed.

SUSv2-era shells don't set the PWD variable, though anything more modern
does. In the buildfarm environment this could lead to test.sh executing
with PWD pointing to $HOME or another high-level directory, so that there
were conflicts between concurrent executions of the test in different
branch subdirectories. This appears to be the explanation for recent
intermittent failures on buildfarm members binturong and dingo (and might
well have something to do with the buildfarm script's failure to capture
log files from pg_upgrade tests, too).
To fix, just use `pwd` in place of $PWD. AFAICS test.sh is the only place
in our source tree that depended on $PWD. Back-patch to all versions
containing this script.
Per buildfarm. Thanks to Oskari Saarenmaa for diagnosing the problem.

If an allocation fails in the main message handling loop, pqParseInput3
or pqParseInput2, it should not be treated as "not enough data available
yet". Otherwise libpq will wait indefinitely for more data to arrive from
the server, and gets stuck forever.
This isn't a complete fix - getParamDescriptions and getCopyStart still
have the same issue, but it's a step in the right direction.
Michael Paquier and me. Backpatch to all supported versions.

Based on the original code from David Christensen, modified by me.

Build.bat and vcregress.bat got similar treatment years ago. I'm not sure
why install.bat wasn't treated at the same time, but it seems like a good
idea anyway.
The immediate problem with the old install.bat was that it had quoting
issues, and wouldn't work if the target directory's name contained spaces.
This fixes that problem.
I committed this to master yesterday, this is a backpatch of the same for
all supported versions.

When spilling transaction data to disk a simple typo caused the output
file to be closed and reopened for every serialized change. That happens
to not have a huge impact on linux, which is why it probably wasn't
noticed so far, but on windows that appears to trigger actual disk
writes after every change. Not fun.
The bug fortunately does not have any impact besides speed. A change
could end up being in the wrong segment (last instead of next), but
since we read all files to the end, that's just ugly, not really
problematic. It's not a problem to upgrade, since transaction spill
files do not persist across restarts.

The previous coding tried to handle possible failures when fsyncing a
tty or pipe fd by accepting EINVAL - but apparently some
platforms (windows, OSX) don't reliably return that. So instead check
whether the output fd refers to a pipe or a tty when opening it.

The .backup file name can be passed to pg_archivecleanup even if
it includes the extension which is specified in -x option.
However, previously the document incorrectly warned a user
not to do that.
Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_archivecleanup's -x option and
the warning were added.

Expose PG_VERSION_NUM (e.g., "90600") as a Make variable; but for
consistency with the other Make variables holding similar info,
call the variable just VERSION_NUM not PG_VERSION_NUM.
There was some discussion of making this value available as a pg_config
value as well. However, that would entail substantially more work than
this two-line patch. Given that there was not exactly universal consensus
that we need this at all, let's just do a minimal amount of work for now.
Back-patch of commit a5d489ccb7e613c7ca3be6141092b8c1d2c13fa7, so that this
variable is actually useful for its intended purpose sometime before 2020.

There were two issues here. First, if a query got stuck so that it took
e.g. 5 seconds, and progress interval was 1 second, no progress reports were
printed until the query returned. Fix so that we wake up specifically to
print the progress report. Secondly, if pgbench got stuck so that it would
nevertheless not print a progress report on time, and enough time passes
that it's already time to print the next progress report, just skip the one
that was missed. Before this patch, it would print the missed one with 0 TPS
immediately after the previous one.
Fabien Coelho. Backpatch to 9.4, where progress reports were added.

Commit de76884 changed an archive recovery so that the last WAL
segment with old timeline was renamed with suffix .partial. It should
have updated WAL-related utilities so that they can handle such
.paritial WAL files, but we forgot that.
This patch changes pg_archivecleanup so that it can clean up even
archived WAL files with .partial suffix. Also it allows us to specify
.partial WAL file name as the command-line argument "oldestkeptwalfile".
This patch also changes pg_resetxlog so that it can remove .partial
WAL files in pg_xlog directory.
pg_xlogdump cannot handle .partial WAL files. Per discussion,
we decided only to document that limitation instead of adding the fix.
Because a user can easily work around the limitation (i.e., just remove
.partial suffix from the file name) and the fix seems complicated for
very narrow use case.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem existed.

"TextDatumGetCString(PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(x))" is formally wrong: a text*
is not a Datum. Although this coding will accidentally fail to fail on
all known platforms, it risks leaking memory if a detoast step is needed,
unlike "TextDatumGetCString(PG_GETARG_DATUM(x))" which is what's used
elsewhere. Make pg_get_object_address() fall in line with other uses.
Noted while reviewing two-arg current_setting() patch.

It's called "missing_ok" in the docs and in the C code.
I refrained from doing a catversion bump for this, because the name of an
input argument is just documentation, it has no effect on any callers.

Commit 179cdd09 added macros to check if a filename is a WAL segment
or other such file. However there were still some instances of the
strlen + strspn combination to check for that in WAL-related utilities
like pg_archivecleanup. Those checks can be replaced with the macros.
This patch makes use of the macros in those utilities and
which would make the code a bit easier to read.
Back-patch to 9.5.

This function is documented to return a value in the range (0,1),
which is what its predecessor anl_random_fract() did. However, the
new version depends on pg_erand48() which returns a value in [0,1).
The possibility of returning zero creates hazards of division by zero
or trying to compute log(0) at some call sites, and it might well
break third-party modules using anl_random_fract() too. So let's
change it to never return zero. Spotted by Coverity.

XLogFileCopy() was changed heavily in commit de76884. However it was
partially reverted in commit 7abc685 and most of those changes to
XLogFileCopy() were no longer needed. Then commit 7cbee7c removed
those unnecessary code, but XLogFileCopy() looked different in master
and 9.4 though the contents are almost the same.
This patch makes XLogFileCopy() look the same in master and back-branches,
which makes back-patching easier, per discussion on pgsql-hackers.
Back-patch to 9.5.

Coverity rightly gripes that it's silly to have a test here when
the adjacent ExecEvalExpr() would choke on a NULL expression pointer.

This seems useful to catch errors of the sort I just fixed, where
PageGetSpecialPointer is called before initializing the page.
|
|
After calling XLogInitBufferForRedo(), the page might be all-zeros if it was
not in page cache already. btree_xlog_unlink_page initialized the page
correctly, but it called PageGetSpecialPointer before initializing it, which
would lead to a corrupt page at WAL replay, if the unlinked page is not in
page cache.
Backpatch to 9.4, the bug came with the rewrite of B-tree page deletion.
|

Without this, we might access memory that's already been freed, or
leak memory if in the C locale.

I broke this with my WAL format refactoring patch. Before that, the metapage
was read from disk, and modified in-place regardless of the LSN. That was
always a bit silly, as there's no need to read the old page version from
disk disk when we're overwriting it anyway. So that was changed in 9.5, but
I failed to add a GinInitPage call to initialize the page-headers correctly.
Usually you wouldn't notice, because the metapage is already in the page
cache and is not zeroed.
One way to reproduce this is to perform a VACUUM on an already vacuumed
table (so that the vacuum has no real work to do), immediately after a
checkpoint, and then perform an immediate shutdown. After recovery, the
page headers of the metapage will be incorrectly all-zeroes.

Minor corrections and clarifications. Notably, for stuff that got moved
out of contrib, make sure it's documented somewhere other than "Additional
Modules".
I'm sure these need more work, but that's all I have time for today.
|
|
Avoid memory leak from incorrect choice of how to free a StringInfo
(resetStringInfo doesn't do it). Now that pg_split_opts doesn't scribble
on the optstr, mark that as "const" for clarity. Attach the commentary in
protocol.sgml to the right place, and add documentation about the
user-visible effects of this change on postgres' -o option and libpq's
PGOPTIONS option.

_Asm_sched_fence() is just a compiler barrier, not a memory barrier. But
spinlock release on IA64 needs, at the very least, release
semantics. Use a full barrier instead.
This might be the cause for the occasional failures on buildfarm member
anole.
