In general, expression execution state trees aren't re-entrantly usable,
since functions can store private state information in them.
For efficiency reasons, plpgsql tries to cache and reuse state trees for
"simple" expressions. It can get away with that most of the time, but it
can fail if the state tree is dirty from a previous failed execution (as
in an example from Alvaro) or is being used recursively (as noted by me).
Fix by tracking whether a state tree is in use, and falling back to the
"non-simple" code path if so. This results in a pretty considerable speed
hit when the non-simple path is taken, but the available alternatives seem
even more unpleasant because they add overhead in the simple path. Per
idea from Heikki.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

that WAL file containing the checkpoint redo-location can be found. This
avoids making the cluster irrecoverable if the redo location is in an earlie
WAL file than the checkpoint record.

The trick is to not try to build executables directly from .c files,
but to always build the intermediate .o files. For obscure reasons,
Darwin's version of gcc will leave debug cruft behind in the first
case but not the second. Per complaint from Robert Haas.

The original coding was quite sloppy about handling the case where
XLogReadBuffer fails (because the page has since been deleted). This
would result in either "bad buffer id: 0" or an Assert failure during
replay, if indeed the page were no longer there. In a couple of places
it also neglected to check whether the change had already been applied,
which would probably result in corrupted index contents. I believe that
bug #5703 is an instance of the first problem. These issues could show up
without replication, but only if you were unfortunate enough to crash
between modification of a GIN index and the next checkpoint.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as GIN has WAL support.

In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT,
FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the
special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any
of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather
than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any
of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT.
Per report from Hitoshi Harada.

There are numerous methods by which a Perl or Tcl function can subvert
the behavior of another such function executed later; for example, by
redefining standard functions or operators called by the target function.
If the target function is SECURITY DEFINER, or is called by such a
function, this means that any ordinary SQL user with Perl or Tcl language
usage rights can do essentially anything with the privileges of the target
function's owner.
To close this security hole, create a separate Perl or Tcl interpreter for
each SQL userid under which plperl or pltcl functions are executed within
a session. However, all plperlu or pltclu functions run within a session
still share a single interpreter, since they all execute at the trust
level of a database superuser anyway.
Note: this change results in a functionality loss when libperl has been
built without the "multiplicity" option: it's no longer possible to call
plperl functions under different userids in one session, since such a
libperl can't support multiple interpreters in one process. However, such
a libperl already failed to support concurrent use of plperl and plperlu,
so it's likely that few people use such versions with Postgres.

since it can happen when a process fails to start when the system
is under high load.
Per several bug reports and many peoples investigation.
Back-patch to 8.2, since testing shows no issues even though the
"deadman-switch" does not exist in this version.

It now emerges that the JDBC driver expects to be able to use pg_get_expr()
on an output of a sub-SELECT. So extend the check logic to be able to recurse
into a sub-SELECT to see if the argument is ultimately coming from an
appropriate column. Per report from Thomas Kellerer.

hasn't been set.
The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization
is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function
calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery. We could perhaps
try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning
superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth,
and in any case it could create new possible failure modes. Simply
returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix.
Back-patch to all supported versions, even those before autovacuum, just
in case there's another way to provoke this crash.

In some situations the original coding led to corrupting the child AppendRel's
subpaths list, effectively adding other members of the parent's list to it.
This was usually masked because we never made any further use of the child's
list, but given the right combination of circumstances, we could do so. The
visible symptom would be a relation getting scanned twice, as in bug #5673
from David Schmitt.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is as far back as the risky coding appears. The
example submitted by David only fails in 8.4 and later, but I'm not convinced
that there aren't any even-more-obscure cases where 8.2 and 8.3 would fail.

The previous patches failed to cover a lot of symlinks that are only
added in platform-specific cases. Make the lists match what's in the
Makefile for each branch.

SI invalidation events, rather than indirectly through the relcache.
In the previous coding, we had to flush a composite-type typcache entry
whenever we discarded the corresponding relcache entry. This caused problems
at least when testing with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as shown in recent report
from Jeff Davis, and might result in real-world problems given the kind of
unexpected relcache flush that that test mechanism is intended to model.
The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good
thing anyway from a structural perspective. The cost is that we have to
search the typcache linearly to find entries that need to be flushed. There
are a couple of ways we could avoid that, but at the moment it's not clear
it's worth any extra trouble, because the typcache contains very few entries
in typical operation.
Back-patch to 8.2, the same as some other recent fixes in this general area.
The patch could be carried back to 8.0 with some additional work, but given
that it's only hypothetical whether we're fixing any problem observable in
the field, it doesn't seem worth the work now.

correctly on 64-bit Intel Solaris. Per my proposal yesterday,
8.2 is where we will start considering this platform supported.
While this patch itself could easily go into older branches,
there's not a huge amount of point unless we also make some
significantly-more-invasive changes in the spinlock support.

This patch changes _bt_split() and _bt_pagedel() to throw a plain ERROR,
rather than PANIC, for several cases that are reported from the field
from time to time:
* right sibling's left-link doesn't match;
* PageAddItem failure during _bt_split();
* parent page's next child isn't right sibling during _bt_pagedel().
In addition the error messages for these cases have been made a bit
more verbose, with additional values included.
The original motivation for PANIC here was to capture core dumps for
subsequent analysis. But with so many users whose platforms don't capture
core dumps by default, or who are unprepared to analyze them anyway, it's hard
to justify a forced database restart when we can fairly easily detect the
problems before we've reached the critical sections where PANIC would be
necessary. It is not currently known whether the reports of these messages
indicate well-hidden bugs in Postgres, or are a result of storage-level
malfeasance; the latter possibility suggests that we ought to try to be more
robust even if there is a bug here that's ultimately found.
Backpatch to 8.2. The code before that is sufficiently different that
it doesn't seem worth the trouble to back-port further.

returning "record" actually do have the same rowtype. This is needed because
the parser can't realistically enforce that they will all have the same typmod,
as seen in a recent example from David Wheeler.
Back-patch to 8.0, which is as far back as we have the notion of RECORD
subtypes being distinguished by typmod. Wheeler's example depends on
8.4-and-up features, but I suspect there may be ways to provoke similar
failures before 8.4.

socket lockfile) when writing them. The lack of an fsync here may well
explain two different reports we've seen of corrupted lockfile contents,
which doesn't particularly bother the running server but can prevent a
new server from starting if the old one crashes. Per suggestion from
Alvaro.

in particular, propagate a fix in the test to see whether a UTF8 character has
length 4 bytes. This is likely of little real-world consequence because
5-or-more-byte UTF8 sequences are not supported by Postgres nor seen anywhere
in the wild, but still we may as well get it right. Problem found by Joseph
Adams.
Bug is aboriginal, so back-patch all the way.

expressions. We need to deal with this when handling subscripts in an array
assignment, and also when catching an exception. In an Assert-enabled build
these omissions led to Assert failures, but I think in a normal build the
only consequence would be short-term memory leakage; which may explain why
this wasn't reported from the field long ago.
Back-patch to all supported versions. 7.4 doesn't have exceptions, but
otherwise these bugs go all the way back.

look through join alias Vars to avoid breaking join queries, and
move the test to someplace where it will catch more possible ways
of calling a function. We still ought to throw away the whole thing
in favor of a data-type-based solution, but that's not feasible in
the back branches.

assuming that a local char[] array would be aligned on at least a word
boundary. There are architectures on which that is pretty much guaranteed to
NOT be the case ... and those arches also don't like non-aligned memory
accesses, meaning that log_newpage() would crash if it ever got invoked.
Even on Intel-ish machines there's a potential for a large performance penalty
from doing I/O to an inadequately aligned buffer. So palloc it instead.
Backpatch to 8.0 --- 7.4 doesn't have this code.

If a zeroed page is present in the heap, ALTER TABLE .. SET TABLESPACE will
set the LSN and TLI while copying it, which is wrong, and heap_xlog_newpage()
will do the same thing during replay, so the corruption propagates to any
standby. Note, however, that the bug can't be demonstrated unless archiving
is enabled, since in that case we skip WAL logging altogether, and the LSN/TLI
are not set.
Back-patch to 8.0; prior releases do not have tablespaces.

a pass-by-reference datatype with a nontrivial projection step.
We were using the same memory context for the projection operation as for
the temporary context used by the hashtable routines in execGrouping.c.
However, the hashtable routines feel free to reset their temp context at
any time, which'd lead to destroying input data that was still needed.
Report and diagnosis by Tao Ma.
Back-patch to 8.1, where the problem was introduced by the changes that
allowed us to work with "virtual" tuples instead of materializing intermediate
tuple values everywhere. The earlier code looks quite similar, but it doesn't
suffer the problem because the data gets copied into another context as a
result of having to materialize ExecProject's output tuple.

use the actual element type of the array it's disassembling, rather than
trusting the type OID passed in by its caller. This is needed because
sometimes the planner passes in a type OID that's only binary-compatible
with the target column's type, rather than being an exact match. Per an
example from Bernd Helmle.
Possibly we should refactor get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot to not expect
the caller to supply type ID data at all, but for now I'll just do the
minimum-change fix.
Back-patch to 7.4. Bernd's test case only crashes back to 8.0, but since
these subroutines are the same in 7.4, I suspect there may be variant
cases that would crash 7.4 as well.

sub-select contains a join alias reference that expands into an expression
containing another sub-select. Per yesterday's report from Merlin Moncure
and subsequent off-list investigation.
Back-patch to 7.4. Older versions didn't attempt to flatten sub-selects in
ways that would trigger this problem.

being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop is closed was inadequate, as Tom Lane
pointed out. The bug affects FOR statement variants too, because you can
close an implicitly created cursor too by guessing the "<unnamed portal X>"
name created for it.
To fix that, "pin" the portal to prevent it from being dropped while it's
being used in a PL/pgSQL FOR loop. Backpatch all the way to 7.4 which is
the oldest supported version.

but we have nevertheless exposed them to users via pg_get_expr(). It would
be too much maintenance effort to rigorously check the input, so put a hack
in place instead to restrict pg_get_expr() so that the argument must come
from one of the system catalog columns known to contain valid expressions.
Per report from Rushabh Lathia. Backpatch to 7.4 which is the oldest
supported version at the moment.

This saves cycles in get_ps_display() on many popular platforms, and more
importantly ensures that get_ps_display() will correctly return an empty
string if init_ps_display() hasn't been called yet. Per trouble report
from Ray Stell, in which log_line_prefix %i produced junk early in backend
startup.
Back-patch to 8.0. 7.4 doesn't have %i and its version of get_ps_display()
makes no pretense of avoiding pad junk anyhow.

that is a regular table or view owned by a superuser. This prevents a
trojan horse attack whereby any unprivileged SQL user could create such a
table and insert code into it that would then get executed in other users'
sessions whenever they call pltcl functions.
Worse yet, because the code was automatically loaded into both the "normal"
and "safe" interpreters at first use, the attacker could execute unrestricted
Tcl code in the "normal" interpreter without there being any pltclu functions
anywhere, or indeed anyone else using pltcl at all: installing pltcl is
sufficient to open the hole. Change the initialization logic so that the
"unknown" code is only loaded into an interpreter when the interpreter is
first really used. (That doesn't add any additional security in this
particular context, but it seems a prudent change, and anyway the former
behavior violated the principle of least astonishment.)

fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that
imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder
to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of.
Backported to release 7.4.
In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of
the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2.
In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale
mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is
replaced by our own routine, which is also faster.
Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's
"strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and
$b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function
compilation is significantly faster.

Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
