2021-05-20Clean up cpluspluscheck violation.Tom Lane
"typename" is a C++ keyword, so pg_upgrade.h fails to compile in C++. Fortunately, there seems no likely reason for somebody to need to do that. Nonetheless, it's project policy that all .h files should pass cpluspluscheck, so rename the argument to fix that. Oversight in 57c081de0; back-patch as that was. (The policy requiring pg_upgrade.h to pass cpluspluscheck only goes back to v12, but it seems best to keep this code looking the same in all branches.)

2021-05-15Be more careful about barriers when releasing BackgroundWorkerSlots.Tom Lane
ForgetBackgroundWorker lacked any memory barrier at all, while BackgroundWorkerStateChange had one but unaccountably did additional manipulation of the slot after the barrier. AFAICS, the rule must be that the barrier is immediately before setting or clearing slot->in_use. It looks like back in 9.6 when ForgetBackgroundWorker was first written, there might have been some case for not needing a barrier there, but I'm not very convinced of that --- the fact that the load of bgw_notify_pid is in the caller doesn't seem to guarantee no memory ordering problem. So patch 9.6 too. It's likely that this doesn't fix any observable bug on Intel hardware, but machines with weaker memory ordering rules could have problems here.

2021-05-14Prevent infinite insertion loops in spgdoinsert().Tom Lane
Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page. That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit 09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get the job done. At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able to shorten the leaf datum anymore. To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing after each "choose" step. Some opclasses might not decrease the size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff of the tuple size could obscure small gains. Therefore, allow up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an error. (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems quite generous right now.) As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it. The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator classes. We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of breaking things. (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot for known non-core opclasses anyway.) Per report from Dilip Kumar.

2021-05-14Fix query-cancel handling in spgdoinsert().Tom Lane
Knowing that a buggy opclass could cause an infinite insertion loop, spgdoinsert() intended to allow its loop to be interrupted by query cancel. However, that never actually worked, because in iterations after the first, we'd be holding buffer lock(s) which would cause InterruptHoldoffCount to be positive, preventing servicing of the interrupt. To fix, check if an interrupt is pending, and if so fall out of the insertion loop and service the interrupt after we've released the buffers. If it was indeed a query cancel, that's the end of the matter. If it was a non-canceling interrupt reason, make use of the existing provision to retry the whole insertion. (This isn't as wasteful as it might seem, since any upper-level index tuples we already created should be usable in the next attempt.) While there's no known instance of such a bug in existing release branches, it still seems like a good idea to back-patch this to all supported branches, since the behavior is fairly nasty if a loop does happen --- not only is it uncancelable, but it will quickly consume memory to the point of an OOM failure. In any case, this code is certainly not working as intended. Per report from Dilip Kumar. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAFiTN-uxP_soPhVG840tRMQTBmtA_f_Y8N51G7DKYYqDh7XN-A@mail.gmail.com
2021-05-14Refactor CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to add flexibility.Tom Lane
Split up CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to provide an additional macro INTERRUPTS_PENDING_CONDITION(), which just tests whether an interrupt is pending without attempting to service it. This is useful in situations where the caller knows that interrupts are blocked, and would like to find out if it's worth the trouble to unblock them. Also add INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED(), which indicates whether CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() can be relied on to clear the pending interrupt. This commit doesn't actually add any uses of the new macros, but a follow-on bug fix will do so. Back-patch to all supported branches to provide infrastructure for that fix.

2021-05-10Fix mishandling of resjunk columns in ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE tlists.Tom Lane
It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present. If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns. That's fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns. This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks, including * There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or heap_update matches the table rowtype. While it's difficult to check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions that there aren't too many columns. * The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on input column numbers. Add assertions there too. * We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist. That wouldn't have caught this specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen this bug. In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with old values of the not-set columns. This adds a little complication to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable amount of now-dead code from the planner. In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to (a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent columns of the output slot. (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.) This works back to v10. In 9.6, projections work much differently and we can't cheaply give them such an option. The 9.6 version of this patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid of resjunk columns. In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table. Through a further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition. This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically crashing if more than one row has to be updated. Fix by preserving resjunk columns in that routine. (I failed to resist the temptation to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code beautification.) Per report from Andres Freund. Back-patch to all supported branches. Security: CVE-2021-32028
2021-05-10Prevent integer overflows in array subscripting calculations.Tom Lane
While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound values were generally not checked. This allows situations where lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer. It seems that that's harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible. However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a potential for memory stomps. Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow. (Note: this results in disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly INT_MAX. In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment. It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.) Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length array, creating a different route to memory stomps. Fix that too. Security: CVE-2021-32027

2021-04-30Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.Tom Lane
Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures. Aggregates failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message. Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference. Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no bugs lurk in that path. Given the lack of testing of this area, it seems safest to be conservative in what we support. Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't support returning a set. Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves. Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.

2021-04-29Fix some more omissions in pg_upgrade's tests for non-upgradable types.Tom Lane
Commits 29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and ranges. However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c. (The division of responsibility between those files is less than clear...) In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is non-upgradable. It seems unlikely that someone would have a user column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks to the type OID embedded in composite Datums. To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive query that does the search to allow any base query that returns a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one starting type. As before, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2798740.1619622555@sss.pgh.pa.us

2021-04-16Allow TestLib::slurp_file to skip contents, and use as neededAndrew Dunstan
In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function, which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater. Backpatch to all live branches. Michael Paquier, slightly modified by me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YHajnhcMAI3++pJL@paquier.xyz
2021-04-13Fix some inappropriately-disallowed uses of ALTER ROLE/DATABASE SET.Tom Lane
Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues when source == PGC_S_TEST. This allows, for example, "ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo" configuration hasn't been created yet. Without this, we have problems during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore ordering. However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway. It's not entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y", but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it. Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks with similar needs. (But I did not change their insistence on being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.) Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST. A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues of this ilk. (There are a lot of interdependencies among PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

2021-04-12Fix old bug with coercing the result of a COLLATE expression.Tom Lane
There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion to below any CollateExpr that may appear. However, we did that even if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable type. The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning that it's useless. This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of COLLATE support. The lack of field complaints suggests that there aren't a lot of user-visible consequences. We noticed the problem because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however, in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect) complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type. I found that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added regression test case. But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time, so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences. Per report from Yulin Pei. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2021-04-12Fix out-of-bound memory access for interval -> char conversionMichael Paquier
Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers, where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII. This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more consistent behavior: - If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL. - If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number. - If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with -1 meaning December, -2 November, etc. Reported-by: Theodor Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin Author: Julien Rouhaud Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16953-f255a18f8c51f1d5@postgresql.org backpatch-through: 9.6

2021-04-07Don't add non-existent pages to bitmap from BRINTomas Vondra
The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with an error like this: ERROR: could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block 262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages), but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is incomplete, and fails. Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because: * Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end). * The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the last page range actually crosses the segment boundary. * Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue. Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch distance does not matter. Fixed by not adding non-existent pages to the TID bitmap. Backpatch all the way back to 9.6 (BRIN indexes were introduced in 9.5, but that release is EOL). Backpatch-through: 9.6

Maxim Orlov reported that the shutdown of standby server could result in the following assertion failure.

2021-04-01Fix pg_restore's misdesigned code for detecting archive file format.Tom Lane
Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However, in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would likely dump core or otherwise misbehave. The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat(). Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of the file after successful autodetection. That wastes cycles and it means we have four behaviors to verify not two.

2021-03-23Fix psql's \connect command some more.Tom Lane
Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit 85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the normal priority is the other way around. Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the default values for just a couple more lines of code. This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on service=whatever". That remains significantly different from before 85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this is (mostly?) intentional. In any case, since libpq does not report where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently. Per bug #16936 from Jasen Betts.

2021-03-23pg_waldump: Fix bug in per-record statistics.Fujii Masao
pg_waldump --stats=record identifies a record by a combination of the RmgrId and the four bits of the xl_info field of the record. But XACT records use the first bit of those four bits for an optional flag variable, and the following three bits for the opcode to identify a record. So previously the same type of XACT record could have different four bits (three bits are the same but the first one bit is different), and which could cause pg_waldump --stats=record to show two lines of per-record statistics for the same XACT record. This is a bug. This commit changes pg_waldump --stats=record so that it processes only XACT record differently, i.e., filters the opcode out of xl_info and uses a combination of the RmgrId and those three bits as the identifier of a record, only for XACT record. For other records, the four bits of the xl_info field are still used. Back-patch to all supported branches.

The text search cache mechanisms assume that we can clean up an invalidated dictionary cache entry simply by resetting the associated long-lived memory context. However, that does not work for ispell affixes that make use of regular expressions, because the regex library deals in plain old malloc. Hence, we leaked compiled regex(es) any time we dropped such a cache entry. That could quickly add up, since even a fairly trivial regex can use up tens of kB, and a large one can eat megabytes.

Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map() fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer. Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still we should fix it just in the name of robustness. While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't. To make it work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering.

2021-03-12Fix race condition in psql \e's detection of file modification.Tom Lane
psql's editing commands decide whether the user has edited the file by checking for change of modification timestamp. This is probably fine for a pre-existing file, but with a temporary file that is created within the command, it's possible for a fast typist to save-and-exit in less than the one-second granularity of stat(2) timestamps. On Windows FAT filesystems the granularity is even worse, 2 seconds, making the race a bit easier to hit. To fix, try to set the temp file's mod time to be two seconds ago. It's unlikely this would fail, but then again the race condition itself is unlikely, so just ignore any error. Also, we might as well check the file size as well as its mod time. While this is a difficult bug to hit, it still seems worth back-patching, to ensure that users' edits aren't lost.

2021-03-11Re-simplify management of inStart in pqParseInput3's subroutines.Tom Lane
Commit 92785dac2 copied some logic related to advancement of inStart from pqParseInput3 into getRowDescriptions and getAnotherTuple, because it wanted to allow user-defined row processor callbacks to potentially longjmp out of the library, and inStart would have to be updated before that happened to avoid an infinite loop. We later decided that that API was impossibly fragile and reverted it, but we didn't undo all of the related code changes, and this bit of messiness survived. Undo it now so that there's just one place in pqParseInput3's processing where inStart is advanced; this will simplify addition of better tracing support. getParamDescriptions had grown similar processing somewhere along the way (not in 92785dac2; I didn't track down just when), but it's actually buggy because its handling of corrupt-message cases seems to have been copied from the v2 logic where we lacked a known message length. The cases where we "goto not_enough_data" should not simply return EOF, because then we won't consume the message, potentially creating an infinite loop. That situation now represents a definitively corrupt message, and we should report it as such. Although no field reports of getParamDescriptions getting stuck in a loop have been seen, it seems appropriate to back-patch that fix. I chose to back-patch all of this to keep the logic looking more alike in supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2217283.1615411989@sss.pgh.pa.us

2021-02-23Reinstate HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY|HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED as allowedAlvaro Herrera
Commit 866e24d47db1 added an assert that HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED cannot appear together, on the faulty assumption that the latter necessarily referred to an update and not a tuple lock; but that's wrong, because SELECT FOR UPDATE can use precisely that combination, as evidenced by the amcheck test case added here. Remove the Assert(), and also patch amcheck's verify_heapam.c to not complain if the combination is found. Also, out of overabundance of caution, update (across all branches) README.tuplock to be more explicit about this.

2021-02-18Fix another ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.Tom Lane
While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug squashed in commit afcc8772e had a sibling: next() failed to return a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}" quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode. Again, this could result in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in basic mode. For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have accidentally been zero from the start. The failure can be provoked repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0". Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.

FreeBSD 13 gained O_DSYNC, which would normally cause wal_sync_method to choose open_datasync as its default value.

2021-02-15Hold interrupts while running dsm_detach() callbacks.Thomas Munro
While cleaning up after a parallel query or parallel index creation that created temporary files, we could be interrupted by a statement timeout. The error handling path would then fail to clean up the files when it ran dsm_detach() again, because the callback was already popped off the list. Prevent this hazard by holding interrupts while the cleanup code runs. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for this suggestion, and also to Kyotaro Horiguchi, Masahiko Sawada, Justin Pryzby and Tom Lane for discussion of this and earlier ideas on how to fix the problem.

2021-02-13pg_attribute_no_sanitize_alignment() macroTom Lane
Modern gcc and clang compilers offer alignment sanitizers, which help to detect pointer misalignment. However, our codebase already contains x86-specific crc32 computation code, which uses unalignment access. Thankfully, those compilers also support the attribute, which disables alignment sanitizers at the function level. This commit adds pg_attribute_no_sanitize_alignment(), which wraps this attribute, and applies it to pg_comp_crc32c_sse42() function. Back-patch of commits 993bdb9f9 and ad2ad698a, to enable doing alignment testing in all supported branches.

2021-02-12Avoid divide-by-zero in regex_selectivity() with long fixed prefix.Tom Lane
Given a regex pattern with a very long fixed prefix (approaching 500 characters), the result of pow(FIXED_CHAR_SEL, fixed_prefix_len) can underflow to zero. Typically the preceding selectivity calculation would have underflowed as well, so that we compute 0/0 and get NaN. In released branches this leads to an assertion failure later on. That doesn't happen in HEAD, for reasons I've not explored yet, but it's surely still a bug. To fix, just skip the division when the pow() result is zero, so that we'll (most likely) return a zero selectivity estimate. In the edge cases where "sel" didn't yet underflow, perhaps this isn't desirable, but I'm not sure that the case is worth spending a lot of effort on. The results of regex_selectivity_sub() are barely worth the electrons they're written on anyway :-( Per report from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2021-02-06Propagate CTE property flags when copying a CTE list into a rule.Tom Lane
rewriteRuleAction() neglected this step, although it was careful to propagate other similar flags such as hasSubLinks or hasRowSecurity. Omitting to transfer hasRecursive is just cosmetic at the moment, but omitting hasModifyingCTE is a live bug, since the executor certainly looks at that. The proposed test case only fails back to v10, but since the executor examines hasModifyingCTE in 9.x as well, I suspect that a test case could be devised that fails in older branches. Given the nearness of the release deadline, though, I'm not going to spend time looking for a better test.

2021-02-06Disallow converting an inheritance child table to a view.Tom Lane
Generally, members of inheritance trees must be plain tables (or, in more recent versions, foreign tables). ALTER TABLE INHERIT rejects creating an inheritance relationship that has a view at either end. When DefineQueryRewrite attempts to convert a relation to a view, it already had checks prohibiting doing so for partitioning parents or children as well as traditional-inheritance parents ... but it neglected to check that a traditional-inheritance child wasn't being converted. Since the planner assumes that any inheritance child is a table, this led to making plans that tried to do a physical scan on a view, causing failures (or even crashes, in recent versions). One could imagine trying to support such a case by expanding the view normally, but since the rewriter runs before the planner does inheritance expansion, it would take some very fundamental refactoring to make that possible. There are probably a lot of other parts of the system that don't cope well with such a situation, too. For now, just forbid it. Per bug #16856 from Yang Lin. Back-patch to all supported branches. (In versions before v10, this includes back-patching the portion of commit 501ed02cf that added has_superclass(). Perhaps the lack of that infrastructure partially explains the missing check.)

2021-02-05Fix backslash-escaping multibyte chars in COPY FROM.Heikki Linnakangas
If a multi-byte character is escaped with a backslash in TEXT mode input, and the encoding is one of the client-only encodings where the bytes after the first one can have an ASCII byte "embedded" in the char, we didn't skip the character correctly. After a backslash, we only skipped the first byte of the next character, so if it was a multi-byte character, we would try to process its second byte as if it was a separate character. If it was one of the characters with special meaning, like '\n', '\r', or another '\\', that would cause trouble. One such exmple is the byte sequence '\x5ca45c2e666f6f' in Big5 encoding. That's supposed to be [backslash][two-byte character][.][f][o][o], but because the second byte of the two-byte character is 0x5c, we incorrectly treat it as another backslash. And because the next character is a dot, we parse it as end-of-copy marker, and throw an "end-of-copy marker corrupt" error. Backpatch to all supported versions.
