The first iteration of the signal-checking loop would compute sigmask(0)
which expands to 1<<(-1) which is undefined behavior according to the
C standard. The lack of field reports of trouble suggest that it
evaluates to 0 on all existing Windows compilers, but that's hardly
something to rely on. Since signal 0 isn't a queueable signal anyway,
we can just make the loop iterate from 1 instead, and save a few cycles
as well as avoiding the undefined behavior.
In passing, avoid evaluating the volatile expression UNBLOCKED_SIGNAL_QUEUE
twice in a row; there's no reason to waste cycles like that.

Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag,
it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well.
Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function
will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not
passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the
rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of.

Returning the direct result of bit arithmetic, in a macro intended to be
used in a boolean manner, can be problematic if the return value is
stored in a variable of type 'bool'. If bool is implemented using C99's
_Bool, that can lead to comparison failures if the variable is then
compared again with the expression (see ginStepRight() for an example
that fails), as _Bool forces the result to be 0/1. That happens in some
configurations of newer MSVC compilers. It's also problematic when
storing the result of such an expression in a narrower type.
Several gin macros have been declared in that style since gin's initial
commit in 8a3631f8d86.
There's a lot more macros like this, but this is the only one causing
regression test failures; and I don't want to commit and backpatch a
larger patch with lots of conflicts just before the next set of minor
releases.

We really need to sync all of our IANA-derived timezone code with upstream,
but that's going to be a large patch and I certainly don't care to shove
such a thing into stable branches immediately before a release. As a
stopgap, copy just the tzcode2016c logic that checks validity of timezone
abbreviations. This prevents getting multiple "time zone abbreviation
differs from POSIX standard" bleats with tzdata 2014b and later.

DST law changes in Azerbaijan, Chile, Haiti, Palestine, and Russia (Altai,
Astrakhan, Kirov, Sakhalin, Ulyanovsk regions). Historical corrections
for Lithuania, Moldova, Russia (Kaliningrad, Samara, Volgograd).
As of 2015b, the keepers of the IANA timezone database started to use
numeric time zone abbreviations (e.g., "+04") instead of inventing
abbreviations not found in the wild like "ASTT". This causes our rather
old copy of zic to whine "warning: time zone abbreviation differs from
POSIX standard" several times during "make install". This warning is
harmless according to the IANA folk, and I don't see any problems with
these abbreviations in some simple tests; but it seems like now would be
a good time to update our copy of the tzcode stuff. I'll look into that
soon.

Modern Perl has removed psed from its core distribution, so it might not
be readily available on some build platforms. We therefore replace its
use with a Perl script generated by s2p, which is equivalent to the sed
script. The latter is retained for non-MSVC builds to avoid creating a
new hard dependency on Perl for non-Windows tarball builds.

This didn't work because when we dropped and re-established a database
connection, we did not bother to reset session-specific state such as
the statements-are-prepared flags.
The st->prepared[] array certainly needs to be flushed, and I cleared a
couple of other fields as well that couldn't possibly retain meaningful
state for a new connection.
In passing, fix some bogus comments and strange field order choices.

Previously, we included <xlocale.h> only if necessary to get the definition
of type locale_t. According to notes in PGAC_TYPE_LOCALE_T, this is
important because on some versions of glibc that file supplies an
incompatible declaration of locale_t. (This info may be obsolete, because
on my RHEL6 box that seems to be the *only* definition of locale_t; but
there may still be glibc's in the wild for which it's a live concern.)
It turns out though that on FreeBSD and maybe other BSDen, you can get
locale_t from stdlib.h or locale.h but mbstowcs_l() and friends only from
<xlocale.h>. This was leaving us compiling calls to mbstowcs_l() and
friends with no visible prototype, which causes a warning and could
possibly cause actual trouble, since it's not declared to return int.
Hence, adjust the configure checks so that we'll include <xlocale.h>
either if it's necessary to get type locale_t or if it's necessary to
get a declaration of mbstowcs_l().
Report and patch by Aleksander Alekseev, somewhat whacked around by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since we have been using
mbstowcs_l() since 9.1.

On the machines I tried this on, pressing TAB after SECURITY LABEL led to
being offered ON and FOR as intended, plus random other keywords (varying
across machines). But if you were a bit more unlucky you'd get a crash,
as reported by nummervet@mail.ru in bug #14019.
Seems to have been an aboriginal error in the SECURITY LABEL patch,
commit 4d355a8336e0f226. Hence, back-patch to all supported versions.
There's no bug in HEAD, though, thanks to our recent tab-completion

The Visual Studio 2013 CRT generates invalid code when it makes a 64-bit
build that is later used on a CPU that supports AVX2 instructions using a
version of Windows before 7SP1/2008R2SP1.
Detect this combination, and in those cases turn off the generation of
FMA3, per recommendation from the Visual Studio team.
The bug is actually in the CRT shipping with Visual Studio 2013, but
Microsoft have stated they're only fixing it in newer major versions.
The fix is therefor conditioned specifically on being built with this
version of Visual Studio, and not previous or later versions.

Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face
of crashes. Use the previously added durable_rename()/durable_link_or_rename()
in various places where we previously just renamed files.
Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems
better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent
known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is
crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been
performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their
contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing
directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end
up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay
would thus not replay it.

Renaming a file using rename(2) is not guaranteed to be durable in face
of crashes; especially on filesystems like xfs and ext4 when mounted
with data=writeback. To be certain that a rename() atomically replaces
the previous file contents in the face of crashes and different
filesystems, one has to fsync the old filename, rename the file, fsync
the new filename, fsync the containing directory. This sequence is not
generally adhered to currently; which exposes us to data loss risks. To
avoid having to repeat this arduous sequence, introduce
durable_rename(), which wraps all that.
Also add durable_link_or_rename(). Several places use link() (with a
fallback to rename()) to rename a file, trying to avoid replacing the
target file out of paranoia. Some of those rename sequences need to be
durable as well. There seems little reason extend several copies of the
same logic, so centralize the link() callers.
This commit does not yet make use of the new functions; they're used in
a followup commit.

An index search using a row comparison such as ROW(a, b) > ROW('x', 'y')
would stop upon reaching a NULL entry in the "b" column, ignoring the
fact that there might be non-NULL "b" values associated with later values
of "a". This happens because _bt_mark_scankey_required() marks the
subsidiary scankey for "b" as required, which is just wrong: it's for
a column after the one with the first inequality key (namely "a"), and
thus can't be considered a required match.
This bit of brain fade dates back to the very beginnings of our support
for indexed ROW() comparisons, in 2006. Kind of astonishing that no one
came across it before Glen Takahashi, in bug #14010.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
Note: the given test case doesn't actually fail in unpatched 9.1, evidently
because the fix for bug #6278 (i.e., stopping at nulls in either scan
direction) is required to make it fail. I'm sure I could devise a case
that fails in 9.1 as well, perhaps with something involving making a cursor
back up; but it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

There were two places in spell.c that supposed that they could search
for a location in a string produced by lowerstr() and then transpose
the offset into the original string. But this fails completely if
lowerstr() transforms any characters into characters of different byte
length, as can happen in Turkish UTF8 for instance.
We'd added some comments about this coding in commit 51e78ab4ff328296,
but failed to realize that it was not merely confusing but wrong.
Coverity complained about this code years ago, but in such an opaque
fashion that nobody understood what it was on about. I'm not entirely
sure that this issue *is* what it's on about, actually, but perhaps
this patch will shut it up -- and in any case the problem is clear.

I wasn't careful enough when back-patching.

The existing code confuses the byte length of the string (which is
relevant when passing it to pg_strncasecmp) with the character length
of the string (which is relevant when it is used with the SQL substring
function). Separate those two concepts.

This error message was written with only ON SELECT rules in mind, but since
then we also made RETURNING-clause targetlists go through the same logic.
This means that you got a rather off-topic error message if you tried to
add a rule with RETURNING to a table having dropped columns. Ideally we'd
just support that, but some preliminary investigation says that it might be
a significant amount of work. Seeing that Nicklas Avén's complaint is the
first one we've gotten about this in the ten years or so that the code's
been like that, I'm unwilling to put much time into it. Instead, improve
the error report by issuing a different message for RETURNING cases, and
revise the associated comment based on this investigation.

A failure partway through PGLC_localeconv() led to a situation where
the next call would call free_struct_lconv() a second time, leading
to free() on already-freed strings, typically leading to a core dump.

Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a
consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain
fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb514d431.
The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to
not agree with the actual index size on-disk.
Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent
compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where
the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency,
this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported
page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to
see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to
a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be
exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts.
Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in
pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't
resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.)
Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for
an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple
regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration
independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests.
The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent
root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for

A function name that's double-quoted in SQL can contain almost any
characters, but we were using that name directly as part of the name
generated for the Python-level function, and Python doesn't like
anything that isn't pretty much a standard identifier. To fix,
replace anything that isn't an ASCII letter or digit with an underscore
in the generated name. This doesn't create any risk of duplicate Python
function names because we were already appending the function OID to
the generated name to ensure uniqueness. Per bug #13960 from Jim Nasby.

Clarify the description of which transactions will block a CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY command from proceeding, and mention that the index might
still not be usable after CREATE INDEX completes. (This happens if the
index build detected broken HOT chains, so that pg_index.indcheckxmin gets
set, and there are open old transactions preventing the xmin horizon from
advancing past the index's initial creation. I didn't want to explain what
broken HOT chains are, though, so I omitted an explanation of exactly when
old transactions prevent the index from being used.)

The original code wasn't careful to test the file descriptor returned by
PQsocket() for an invalid socket. If an invalid socket did turn up,
that would amount to calling FD_ISSET with fd = -1, whereby undefined
behavior can be invoked.
To fix, test file descriptor for validity and stop further processing if
that fails.
Problem noticed by Coverity.
There is an existing FD_ISSET callsite that does check for invalid
sockets beforehand, but the error message reported by it was
strerror(errno); in testing the aforementioned change, that turns out to
result in "bad socket: Success" which isn't terribly helpful. Instead
use PQerrorMessage() in both places which is more likely to contain an
useful error message.

Reportedly, some compilers warn about tests like "c < 0" if c is unsigned,
and hence complain about the character range checks I added in commit
3bb3f42f3749d40b8d4de65871e8d828b18d4a45. This is a bit of a pain since
the regex library doesn't really want to assume that chr is unsigned.
However, since any such reconfiguration would involve manual edits of
regcustom.h anyway, we can put it on the shoulders of whoever wants to
do that to adjust this new range-checking macro correctly.
Per gripes from Coverity and Andres.

Many automated test suites call pg_ctl. Buildfarm members axolotl,
hornet, mandrill, shearwater, sungazer and tern have failed when server
shutdown took longer than the pg_ctl default 60s timeout. This addition

--timeout argument into every test suite pg_ctl call. Back-patch to 9.1

It turns out that on FreeBSD-derived platforms (including OS X), the
*scanf() family of functions is pretty much brain-dead about multibyte
characters. In particular it will apply isspace() to individual bytes
of input even when those bytes are part of a multibyte character, thus
allowing false recognition of a field-terminating space.
We appear to have little alternative other than instituting a coding
rule that *scanf() is not to be used if the input string might contain
multibyte characters. (There was some discussion of relying on "%ls",
but that probably just moves the portability problem somewhere else,
and besides it doesn't fully prevent BSD *scanf() from using isspace().)
This patch is a down payment on that: it gets rid of use of sscanf()
to parse ispell dictionary files, which are certainly at great risk
of having a problem. The code is cleaner this way anyway, though
a bit longer.
In passing, improve a few comments.

Security: CVE-2016-0773
|
|
Previously, our regex code defined CHR_MAX as 0xfffffffe, which is a
bad choice because it is outside the range of type "celt" (int32).
Characters approaching that limit could lead to infinite loops in logic
such as "for (c = a; c <= b; c++)" where c is of type celt but the
range bounds are chr. Such loops will work safely only if CHR_MAX+1
is representable in celt, since c must advance to beyond b before the
loop will exit.
Fortunately, there seems no reason not to restrict CHR_MAX to 0x7ffffffe.
It's highly unlikely that Unicode will ever assign codes that high, and
none of our other backend encodings need characters beyond that either.
In addition to modifying the macro, we have to explicitly enforce character
range restrictions on the values of \u, \U, and \x escape sequences, else
the limit is trivially bypassed.
Also, the code for expanding case-independent character ranges in bracket
expressions had a potential integer overflow in its calculation of the
number of characters it could generate, which could lead to allocating too
small a character vector and then overwriting memory. An attacker with the
ability to supply arbitrary regex patterns could easily cause transient DOS
via server crashes, and the possibility for privilege escalation has not
been ruled out.
Quite aside from the integer-overflow problem, the range expansion code was
unnecessarily inefficient in that it always produced a result consisting of
individual characters, abandoning the knowledge that we had a range to
start with. If the input range is large, this requires excessive memory.
Change it so that the original range is reported as-is, and then we add on
any case-equivalent characters that are outside that range. With this
approach, we can bound the number of individual characters allowed without
sacrificing much. This patch allows at most 100000 individual characters,
which I believe to be more than the number of case pairs existing in
Unicode, so that the restriction will never be hit in practice.
It's still possible for range() to take awhile given a large character code
range, so also add statement-cancel detection to its loop. The downstream
function dovec() also lacked cancel detection, and could take a long time
given a large output from range().

Get rid of the false implication that PRIMARY KEY is exactly equivalent to
UNIQUE + NOT NULL. That was more-or-less true at one time in our
implementation, but the standard doesn't say that, and we've grown various

less-formal constraints. Per recent discussion on pgsql-general.

If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular
dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after
the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because
it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table. This works all right
in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places
triggers after rules. However, when using parallel restore, the ordering
must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one.
Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call,
except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the
view relation, and there was no easy way to do that. Add fields to
pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo
struct(s) are.
