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

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

Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a
string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that
most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is
coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security
issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using
strlcpy() and similar functions.
Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports.
In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in
contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on
failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result.
The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is
configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g.,
"FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but
since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes,
I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues.
This issue was reported by Honza Horak.

Previously, libpq and the backend had opposite ideas about whether
it was necessary for the client to send a CopyDone message after
receiving an ErrorResponse, making it impossible to cleanly exit
COPY BOTH mode. Fix libpq so that works correctly, adopting the
backend's notion that an ErrorResponse kills the copy in both
directions.
Adjust receivelog.c to avoid a degradation in the quality of the
resulting error messages. libpqwalreceiver.c is already doing
the right thing, so no adjustment needed there.
Add an explicit statement to the documentation explaining how
this part of the protocol is supposed to work, in the hopes of
avoiding future confusion in this area.
Since the consequences of all this confusion are very limited,
especially in the back-branches where no client ever attempts
to exit COPY BOTH mode without closing the connection entirely,
no back-patch.
|

There's probably no real bug here at present, so not backpatching.
But it seems good to make these bits consistent with the rest of
libpq, so as to avoid future surprises.

This patch addresses the problem that applications currently have to
extract object names from possibly-localized textual error messages,
if they want to know for example which index caused a UNIQUE_VIOLATION
failure. It adds new error message fields to the wire protocol, which
can carry the name of a table, table column, data type, or constraint
associated with the error. (Since the protocol spec has always instructed
clients to ignore unrecognized field types, this should not create any
compatibility problem.)
Support for providing these new fields has been added to just a limited set
of error reports (mainly, those in the "integrity constraint violation"
SQLSTATE class), but we will doubtless add them to more calls in future.

Before this patch, streaming replication would refuse to start replicating
if the timeline in the primary doesn't exactly match the standby. The
situation where it doesn't match is when you have a master, and two
standbys, and you promote one of the standbys to become new master.
Promoting bumps up the timeline ID, and after that bump, the other standby
would refuse to continue.
There's significantly more timeline related logic in streaming replication
now. First of all, when a standby connects to primary, it will ask the
primary for any timeline history files that are missing from the standby.
The missing files are sent using a new replication command TIMELINE_HISTORY,
and stored in standby's pg_xlog directory. Using the timeline history files,
the standby can follow the latest timeline present in the primary
(recovery_target_timeline='latest'), just as it can follow new timelines
appearing in an archive directory.
START_REPLICATION now takes a TIMELINE parameter, to specify exactly which
timeline to stream WAL from. This allows the standby to request the primary
to send over WAL that precedes the promotion. The replication protocol is
changed slightly (in a backwards-compatible way although there's little hope
of streaming replication working across major versions anyway), to allow
replication to stop when the end of timeline reached, putting the walsender
back into accepting a replication command.
Many thanks to Amit Kapila for testing and reviewing various versions of
this patch.

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.

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.

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.

Add a new libpq connection option client_encoding (which includes the
existing PGCLIENTENCODING environment variable), which besides an
encoding name accepts a special value "auto" that tries to determine
the encoding from the locale in the client's environment, using the
mechanisms that have been in use in initdb.
psql sets this new connection option to "auto" when running from a
terminal and not overridden by setting PGCLIENTENCODING.

Basically, we want to distinguish all cases where the connection was
not made from those where it was. A convenient proxy for this is to
see if we got a message with a SQLSTATE code back from the postmaster.
This presumes that the postmaster will always send us a SQLSTATE in
a failure message, which is true for 7.4 and later postmasters in
every case except fork failure. (We could possibly complicate the
postmaster code to do something about that, but it seems not worth
the trouble, especially since pg_ctl's response for that case should
be to keep waiting anyway.)
If we did get a SQLSTATE from the postmaster, there are basically only
two cases, as per last week's discussion: ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW
and everything else. Any other error code implies that the postmaster
is in principle willing to accept connections, it just didn't like or
couldn't handle this particular request. We want to make a special
case for ERRCODE_CANNOT_CONNECT_NOW so that "pg_ctl start -w" knows
it should keep waiting.
In passing, pick names for the enum constants that are a tad less
likely to present collision hazards in future.

This includes two new kinds of postmaster processes, walsenders and
walreceiver. Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server
and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and
streams WAL from disk to the client.
Documentation still needs work, but the basics are there. We will probably
pull the replication section to a new chapter later on, as well as the
sections describing file-based replication. But let's do that as a separate
patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch
also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the
protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
Bump catalog version because of two new functions,
pg_last_xlog_receive_location() and pg_last_xlog_replay_location(), for
monitoring the progress of replication.

is made, include it in the startup-packet options. This makes it work more
like every other libpq connection option, in particular it now has the same
response to RESET ALL as the rest. This also saves one network round trip
for new applications using application_name. The cost is that if the server
is pre-8.5, it'll reject the startup packet altogether, forcing us to retry
the entire connection cycle. But on balance we shouldn't be optimizing that
case in preference to the behavior with a new server, especially when doing
so creates visible behavioral oddities. Per discussion.

empty query string is passed to PQexecParams and related functions. Its
handling of the NoData response to Describe messages was subtly incorrect.
Per my report of yesterday.
Although I consider this a bug, it's a behavioral change that might affect
applications, so not back-patched.
In passing fix a second issue in the same code: it didn't react well to an
out-of-memory failure while trying to make the PGresult object.

after each other (since we already add a newline on each, this makes them
multiline).
Previously a new error would just overwrite the old one, so for example any
error caused when trying to connect with SSL enabled would be overwritten
by the error message form the non-SSL connection when using sslmode=prefer.

we are on a 64-bit machine (ie, size_t is wider than int) and someone passes
in a query string that approaches or exceeds INT_MAX bytes. Also, just for
paranoia's sake, guard against similar overflows in sizing the input buffer.
The backend will not in the foreseeable future be prepared to send or receive
strings exceeding 1GB, so I didn't take the more invasive step of switching
all the buffer index variables from int to size_t; though someday we might
want to do that.
I have a suspicion that this is not the only such bug in libpq, but this
fix is enough to take care of the crash reported by Francisco Reyes.

main code path for enlarging libpq's input buffer in one swoop when needing to
read a long data message. Without this, the code will double the buffer size,
read more data, notice it still hasn't got the whole message, and repeat till
it finally has a large enough buffer. Which wastes a lot of data-moving
effort and also memory (since malloc probably can't do anything very useful
with the freed-up smaller buffers). Not sure why this wasn't there already;
certainly the COPY data path is a place where we're quite likely to see long
data messages. I'm not backpatching though, since this is just a marginal
performance issue rather than a real bug.

ParameterStatus message can be sent during COPY OUT: it's definitely
possible, since COPY from a SELECT subquery can trigger any user-defined
function.
|
|
we need to be able to swallow NOTICE messages, and potentially also
ParameterStatus messages (although the latter would be a bit weird),
without exiting COPY OUT state. Fix it, and adjust the protocol documentation
to emphasize the need for this. Per off-list report from Alexander Galler.

which turns out to be a dominant part of the runtime in scenarios
involving lots of parse-time warnings (such as Stephen Frost's example
of an INSERT with a lot of backslash-containing strings). There's not
a whole lot we can do about the character-at-a-time scanning, but we
can at least avoid traversing the query twice.

during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.

just stick a list-link into struct PGnotify instead. Result is a smaller
faster and more robust library (mainly because we reduce the number of
malloc's and free's involved in notify processing), plus less pollution
of application link-symbol namespace.
