This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.
Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by
Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

Previously, these functions treated "" optin values as defaults in some
ways, but not in others, like when comparing to .pgpass. Also, add
documentation to clarify that now "" and NULL use defaults, like
PQsetdbLogin() has always done.

Introduced in 585bca39: msgid is not used in the Windows code path.
Also adjust comments a tad (mostly to keep pgindent from messing it up).

Previously, 'int' was used for socket values in libpq, but socket values
are unsigned on Windows. This is a style correction.

Bind attempts to an LDAP server should time out after two seconds,
allowing additional lines in the service control file to be parsed
(which provide a fall back to a secondary LDAP server or default options).
The existing code failed to enforce that timeout during TCP connect,
resulting in a hang far longer than two seconds if the LDAP server
does not respond.

Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for
negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are
unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows.
Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.

Previously user name memory allocation failures were ignored and the
default user name set to NULL.

"8" was correct back when "disable" was the longest allowed value, but
since "verify-full" was added, it should be "12". Given the lack of
complaints, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody is actually using these
values ... but still, if they're in the API, they should be right.
Noticed while pursuing a different problem. It's been wrong for quite
a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

A number of issues were identified by the Coverity scanner and are
addressed in this patch. None of these appear to be security issues
and many are mostly cosmetic changes.
Short comments for each of the changes follows.
Correct the semi-colon placement in be-secure.c regarding SSL retries.
Remove a useless comparison-to-NULL in proc.c (value is dereferenced
prior to this check and therefore can't be NULL).
Add checking of chmod() return values to initdb.
Fix a couple minor memory leaks in initdb.
Fix memory leak in pg_ctl- involves free'ing the config file contents.
Use an int to capture fgetc() return instead of an enum in pg_dump.
Fix minor memory leaks in pg_dump.
(note minor change to convertOperatorReference()'s API)
Check fclose()/remove() return codes in psql.
Check fstat(), find_my_exec() return codes in psql.
Various ECPG memory leak fixes.
Check find_my_exec() return in ECPG.
Explicitly ignore pqFlush return in libpq error-path.
Change PQfnumber() to avoid doing an strdup() when no changes required.
Remove a few useless check-against-NULL's (value deref'd beforehand).
Check rmtree(), malloc() results in pg_regress.
Also check get_alternative_expectfile() return in pg_regress.

There was a bug in the psql's meta command \conninfo. When the
IP address was specified in the hostaddr and psql used it to create
a connection (i.e., psql -d "hostaddr=xxx"), \conninfo could not
display that address. This is because \conninfo got the connection
information only from PQhost() which could not return hostaddr.
This patch adds PQhostaddr(), and changes \conninfo so that it
can display not only the host name that PQhost() returns but also
the IP address which PQhostaddr() returns.
The bug has existed since 9.1 where \conninfo was introduced.
But it's too late to add new libpq function into the released versions,
so no backpatch.

In the platform that doesn't support Unix-domain socket, when
neither host nor hostaddr are specified, the default host
'localhost' is used to connect to the server and PQhost() must
return that, but it didn't. This patch fixes PQhost() so that
it returns the default host in that case.
Also this patch fixes PQhost() so that it doesn't return
Unix-domain socket directory path in the platform that doesn't
support Unix-domain socket.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.

Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back
branches.

Previously missing or invalid service files returned NULL. Also fix
pg_upgrade to report "out of memory" for a null return from
PQconndefaults().

Arguably makes the code a bit more readable, and might give a small

On Unix-ish platforms, EWOULDBLOCK may be the same as EAGAIN, which is
*not* a success return, at least not on Linux. We need to treat it as a
failure to avoid giving a misleading error message. Per the Single Unix
Spec, only EINPROGRESS and EINTR returns indicate that the connection
attempt is in progress.
On Windows, on the other hand, EWOULDBLOCK (WSAEWOULDBLOCK) is the expected
case. We must accept EINPROGRESS as well because Cygwin will return that,
and it doesn't seem worth distinguishing Cygwin from native Windows here.
It's not very clear whether EINTR can occur on Windows, but let's leave
that part of the logic alone in the absence of concrete trouble reports.
Also, remove the test for errno == 0, effectively reverting commit
da9501bddb42222dc33c031b1db6ce2133bcee7b, which AFAICS was just a thinko;
or at best it might have been a workaround for a platform-specific bug,
which we can hope is gone now thirteen years later. In any case, since
libpq makes no effort to reset errno to zero before calling connect(),
it seems unlikely that that test has ever reliably done anything useful.

This allows a caller to get back the exact conninfo array that was
used to create a connection, including parameters read from the
environment.
In doing this, restructure how options are copied from the conninfo
to the actual connection.

The length of a socket path name is constrained by the size of struct
sockaddr_un, and there's not a lot we can do about it since that is a
kernel API. However, it would be a good thing if we produced an
intelligible error message when the user specifies a socket path that's too
long --- and getaddrinfo's standard API is too impoverished to do this in
the natural way. So insert explicit tests at the places where we construct
a socket path name. Now you'll get an error that makes sense and even
tells you what the limit is, rather than something generic like
"Non-recoverable failure in name resolution".
Per trouble report from Jeremy Drake and a fix idea from Andrew Dunstan.

Create an internal function pqDropConnection that does the physical socket
close and cleans up closely-associated state. This removes a bunch of ad
hoc, not always consistent closure code. The ulterior motive is to have a
single place to wait for a spawned child backend to exit, but this seems
like good cleanup even if that never happens.
I went back and forth on whether to include "conn->status = CONNECTION_BAD"
in pqDropConnection's actions, but for the moment decided not to. Only a
minority of the call sites actually want that, and in any case it's
arguable that conn->status is slightly higher-level state, and thus not
part of this function's purview.

When an invalid query parameter is reported, some memory leaks.

After taking awhile to digest the row-processor feature that was added to
libpq in commit 92785dac2ee7026948962cd61c4cd84a2d052772, we've concluded
it is over-complicated and too hard to use. Leave the core infrastructure
changes in place (that is, there's still a row processor function inside
libpq), but remove the exposed API pieces, and instead provide a "single
row" mode switch that causes PQgetResult to return one row at a time in
separate PGresult objects.
This approach incurs more overhead than proper use of a row processor
callback would, since construction of a PGresult per row adds extra cycles.
However, it is far easier to use and harder to break. The single-row mode
still affords applications the primary benefit that the row processor API
was meant to provide, namely not having to accumulate large result sets in
memory before processing them. Preliminary testing suggests that we can
probably buy back most of the extra cycles by micro-optimizing construction
of the extra results, but that task will be left for another day.

Drop special handling of host component with slashes to mean
Unix-domain socket. Specify it as separate parameter or using
percent-encoding now.
Allow omitting username, password, and port even if the corresponding
designators are present in URI.
Handle percent-encoding in query parameter keywords.

postgres:// URIs are an attempt to "stop the bleeding" in this general
area that has been said to occur due to external projects adopting their
own syntaxes. The syntaxes supported by this patch:
postgres://[user[:pwd]@][unix-socket][:port[/dbname]][?param1=value1&...]
postgres://[user[:pwd]@][net-location][:port][/dbname][?param1=value1&...]
should be enough to cover most interesting cases without having to
resort to "param=value" pairs, but those are provided for the cases that
need them regardless.
libpq documentation has been shuffled around a bit, to avoid stuffing
all the format details into the PQconnectdbParams description, which was
already a bit overwhelming. The list of keywords has moved to its own
subsection, and the details on the URI format live in another subsection.
This includes a simple test program, as requested in discussion, to
ensure that interesting corner cases continue to work appropriately in
the future.

Oh, it also supports postgresql:// but that's probably just an accident.

Traditionally libpq has collected an entire query result before passing
it back to the application. That provides a simple and transactional API,
but it's pretty inefficient for large result sets. This patch allows the
application to process each row on-the-fly instead of accumulating the
rows into the PGresult. Error recovery becomes a bit more complex, but
often that tradeoff is well worth making.

This has been broken just about forever (or more specifically, commit
7f4981f4af1700456f98ac3f2b2d84959919ec81) and nobody noticed until
Richard Huxton reported it recently. Analysis and fix by Ross
Reedstrom, although I didn't use his patch. This doesn't seem
important enough to back-patch and is mildly backward incompatible, so
I'm just doing this in master.

These days, such a response is far more likely to signify a server-side
problem, such as fork failure. Reporting "server does not support SSL"
(in sslmode=require) could be quite misleading. But the results could
be even worse in sslmode=prefer: if the problem was transient and the
next connection attempt succeeds, we'll have silently fallen back to
protocol version 2.0, possibly disabling features the user needs.
Hence, it seems best to just eliminate the assumption that backing off
to non-SSL/2.0 protocol is the way to recover from an "E" response, and
instead treat the server error the same as we would in non-SSL cases.
I tested this change against a pre-7.0 server, and found that there
was a second logic bug in the "prefer" path: the test to decide whether
to make a fallback connection attempt assumed that we must have opened
conn->ssl, which in fact does not happen given an "E" response. After
fixing that, the code does indeed connect successfully to pre-7.0,
as long as you didn't set sslmode=require. (If you did, you get
"Unsupported frontend protocol", which isn't completely off base
given the server certainly doesn't support SSL.)
Since there seems no reason to believe that pre-7.0 servers exist anymore
in the wild, back-patch to all supported branches.

There are assorted situations wherein PQconnectPoll() will abandon a
connection attempt and try again with different parameters (eg, SSL versus
not SSL). However, the code forgot to discard any pending data in libpq's
I/O buffers when doing this. In at least one case (server returns E
message during SSL negotiation), there is unread input data which bollixes
the next connection attempt. I have not checked to see whether this is
possible in the other cases where we close the socket and retry, but it
seems like a matter of good defensive programming to add explicit
buffer-flushing code to all of them.
This is one of several issues exposed by Daniel Farina's report of
misbehavior after a server-side fork failure.
This has been wrong since forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

They are identical, but the overwhelming majority of the code uses %d,

This unifies a bunch of ugly #ifdef's in one place. Per discussion,

It turns out the reason we hadn't found out about the portability issues
with our credential-control-message code is that almost no modern platforms
use that code at all; the ones that used to need it now offer getpeereid(),
which we choose first. The last holdout was NetBSD, and they added
getpeereid() as of 5.0. So far as I can tell, the only live platform on
which that code was being exercised was Debian/kFreeBSD, ie, FreeBSD kernel
with Linux userland --- since glibc doesn't provide getpeereid(), we fell
back to the control message code. However, the FreeBSD kernel provides a
LOCAL_PEERCRED socket parameter that's functionally equivalent to Linux's
SO_PEERCRED. That is both much simpler to use than control messages, and
superior because it doesn't require receiving a message from the other end
at just the right time.
Therefore, add code to use LOCAL_PEERCRED when necessary, and rip out all
the credential-control-message code in the backend. (libpq still has such
code so that it can still talk to pre-9.1 servers ... but eventually we can
get rid of it there too.) Clean up related autoconf probes, too.
This means that libpq's requirepeer parameter now works on exactly the same
platforms where the backend supports peer authentication, so adjust the
documentation accordingly.

Even though this only affects the insertion of a parenthesized word,
it's unwise to assume that parentheses can pass through untranslated.
And in any case, the new version is clearer in the code and for
translators.

The code to assemble ldap_get_values_len's output into a single string
wrote the terminating null one byte past where it should. Fix that,
and make some other cosmetic adjustments to make the code a trifle more
readable and more in line with usual Postgres coding style.
Also, free the "result" string when done with it, to avoid a permanent
memory leak.
