This supplements the GNU libc bug #6530 workarounds introduced in commit
54cd4f04576833abc394e131288bf3dd7dcf4806. On affected systems, a
tar-format pg_basebackup failed when some filename beneath the data
directory was not valid character data in the postmaster/walsender
locale. Back-patch to 9.1, where pg_basebackup was introduced. Extant,
bug-prone conversion specifications receive only ASCII bytes or involve
low-importance messages.

This avoids the problem that it might go to sleep for an unreasonable
amount of time in unusual conditions like the server clock moving
backwards an unreasonable amount of time.
(Simply moving the server clock forward again doesn't solve the problem
unless you wake up the autovacuum launcher manually, say by sending it
SIGHUP).

We already tried to improve this once, but the "improved" text was rather
off-target if you had provided a USING clause. Also, it seems helpful
to provide the exact text of a suggested USING clause, so users can just
copy-and-paste it when needed. Per complaint from Keith Rarick and a
suggestion from Merlin Moncure.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the current wording was adopted.

We don't know why a few Windows users have seen this fail, but the
taciturnity of the error message certainly isn't helping debug it.
Let's at least find out which LC category isn't working.

HotStandbyActiveInReplay, introduced in 061b079f, only allowed WAL
replay to happen in the startup process, missing the single user case.
This buglet is fairly harmless as it only causes problems when single
user mode in an assertion enabled build is used to replay a btree vacuum
record.
Backpatch to 9.2. 061b079f was backpatched further, but the assertion
was not.

When we invalidate the relcache entry for a system catalog or index, we
must also delete the relcache "init file" if the init file contains a copy
of that rel's entry. The old way of doing this relied on a specially
maintained list of the OIDs of relations present in the init file: we made
the list either when reading the file in, or when writing the file out.
The problem is that when writing the file out, we included only rels
present in our local relcache, which might have already suffered some
deletions due to relcache inval events. In such cases we correctly decided
not to overwrite the real init file with incomplete data --- but we still
used the incomplete initFileRelationIds list for the rest of the current
session. This could result in wrong decisions about whether the session's
own actions require deletion of the init file, potentially allowing an init
file created by some other concurrent session to be left around even though
it's been made stale.
Since we don't support changing the schema of a system catalog at runtime,
the only likely scenario in which this would cause a problem in the field
involves a "vacuum full" on a catalog concurrently with other activity, and
even then it's far from easy to provoke. Remarkably, this has been broken
since 2002 (in commit 786340441706ac1957a031f11ad1c2e5b6e18314), but we had
never seen a reproducible test case until recently. If it did happen in
the field, the symptoms would probably involve unexpected "cache lookup
failed" errors to begin with, then "could not open file" failures after the
next checkpoint, as all accesses to the affected catalog stopped working.
Recovery would require manually removing the stale "pg_internal.init" file.
To fix, get rid of the initFileRelationIds list, and instead consult
syscache.c's list of relations used in catalog caches to decide whether a
relation is included in the init file. This should be a tad more efficient
anyway, since we're replacing linear search of a list with ~100 entries
with a binary search. It's a bit ugly that the init file contents are now
so directly tied to the catalog caches, but in practice that won't make
much difference.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

We should set MyProc->databaseId after acquiring the per-database lock,
not beforehand. The old way risked deadlock against processes trying to
copy or delete the target database, since they would first acquire the lock
and then wait for processes with matching databaseId to exit; that left a
window wherein an incoming process could set its databaseId and then block
on the lock, while the other process had the lock and waited in vain for
the incoming process to exit.
CountOtherDBBackends() would time out and fail after 5 seconds, so this
just resulted in an unexpected failure not a permanent lockup, but it's
still annoying when it happens. A real-world example of a use-case is that
short-duration connections to a template database should not cause CREATE
DATABASE to fail.
Doing it in the other order should be fine since the contract has always
been that processes searching the ProcArray for a database ID must hold the
relevant per-database lock while searching. Thus, this actually removes
the former race condition that required an assumption that storing to
MyProc->databaseId is atomic.
It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all active branches.

The argument that this is a sufficiently-expected case to be silently
ignored seems pretty thin. Andres had brought it up back when we were
still considering that most fsync failures should be hard errors, and it
probably would be legit not to fail hard for ETXTBSY --- but the same is
true for EROFS and other cases, which is why we gave up on hard failures.
ETXTBSY is surely not a normal case, so logging the failure seems fine
from here.

Commit 2ce439f3379aed857517c8ce207485655000fc8e introduced a rather serious
regression, namely that if its scan of the data directory came across any
un-fsync-able files, it would fail and thereby prevent database startup.
Worse yet, symlinks to such files also caused the problem, which meant that
crash restart was guaranteed to fail on certain common installations such
as older Debian.
After discussion, we agreed that (1) failure to start is worse than any
consequence of not fsync'ing is likely to be, therefore treat all errors
in this code as nonfatal; (2) we should not chase symlinks other than
those that are expected to exist, namely pg_xlog/ and tablespace links
under pg_tblspc/. The latter restriction avoids possibly fsync'ing a
much larger part of the filesystem than intended, if the user has left
random symlinks hanging about in the data directory.
This commit takes care of that and also does some code beautification,
mainly moving the relevant code into fd.c, which seems a much better place
for it than xlog.c, and making sure that the conditional compilation for
the pre_sync_fname pass has something to do with whether pg_flush_data
works.
I also relocated the call site in xlog.c down a few lines; it seems a
bit silly to be doing this before ValidateXLOGDirectoryStructure().
The similar logic in initdb.c ought to be made to match this, but that
change is noncritical and will be dealt with separately.
Back-patch to all active branches, like the prior commit.

Seems to have been an oversight in the original leakproofness patch.
Per report and patch from Jeevan Chalke.
In passing, prettify some awkward leakproof-related code in AlterFunction.

specparse.y and specscanner.l used "string" as a token name. Now, bison
likes to define each token name as a macro for the token code it assigns,
which means those names are basically off-limits for any other use within
the grammar file or included headers. So names as generic as "string" are
dangerous. This is what was causing the recent failures on protosciurus:
some versions of Solaris' sys/kstat.h use "string" as a field name.
With late-model bison we don't see this problem because the token macros
aren't defined till later (that is why castoroides didn't show the problem
even though it's on the same machine). But protosciurus uses bison 1.875
which defines the token macros up front.
This land mine has been there from day one; we'd have found it sooner
except that protosciurus wasn't trying to run the isolation tests till
recently.
To fix, rename the token to "string_literal" which is hopefully less
likely to collide with names used by system headers. Back-patch to
all branches containing the isolation tests.

The name objectType is widely used as a field name, and it's pure luck that
this conflict has not caused pgindent to go crazy before. It messed up
pg_audit.c pretty good though. Since pg_shdepend.c doesn't export this
typedef and only uses it in three places, changing that seems saner than
changing the field usages.
Back-patch because we're contemplating using the union of all branch
typedefs for future pgindent runs, so this won't fix anything if it
stays the same in back branches.

Since 7.3.2, libpq has been coded in such a way that the only SSL protocol
it would allow was TLS v1. That approach is looking increasingly obsolete.
In commit 820f08cabdcbb899 we fixed it to allow TLS >= v1, but did not
back-patch the change at the time, partly out of caution and partly because
the question was confused by a contemporary server-side change to reject
the now-obsolete SSL protocol v3. 9.4 has now been out long enough that
it seems safe to assume the change is OK; hence, back-patch into 9.0-9.3.
(I also chose to back-patch some relevant comments added by commit
326e1d73c476a0b5, but did *not* change the server behavior; hence, pre-9.4
servers will continue to allow SSL v3, even though no remotely modern
client will request it.)

This reverts commit 16304a013432931e61e623c8d85e9fe24709d9ba, except
for its changes in src/port/snprintf.c; as well as commit
cac18a76bb6b08f1ecc2a85e46c9d2ab82dd9d23 which is no longer needed.
Fujii Masao reported that the previous commit caused failures in psql on
OS X, since if one exits the pager program early while viewing a query
result, psql sees an EPIPE error from fprintf --- and the wrapper function
thought that was reason to panic. (It's a bit surprising that the same
does not happen on Linux.) Further discussion among the security list
concluded that the risk of other such failures was far too great, and
that the one-size-fits-all approach to error handling embodied in the
previous patch is unlikely to be workable.
This leaves us again exposed to the possibility of the type of failure
envisioned in CVE-2015-3166. However, that failure mode is strictly
hypothetical at this point: there is no concrete reason to believe that
an attacker could trigger information disclosure through the supposed
mechanism. In the first place, the attack surface is fairly limited,
since so much of what the backend does with format strings goes through
stringinfo.c or psprintf(), and those already had adequate defenses.
In the second place, even granting that an unprivileged attacker could
control the occurrence of ENOMEM with some precision, it's a stretch to
believe that he could induce it just where the target buffer contains some
valuable information. So we concluded that the risk of non-hypothetical
problems induced by the patch greatly outweighs the security risks.
We will therefore revert, and instead undertake closer analysis to
identify specific calls that may need hardening, rather than attempt a
universal solution.
We have kept the portion of the previous patch that improved snprintf.c's
handling of errors when it calls the platform's sprintf(). That seems to
be an unalloyed improvement.

The point of the assertion is to ensure that the arrays allocated in stack
are large enough, but the check was one item short.
This won't matter in practice because MaxIndexTuplesPerPage is an
overestimate, so you can't have that many items on a page in reality.
But let's be tidy.
Spotted by Anastasia Lubennikova. Backpatch to all supported versions, like
the patch that added the assertion.

In 9.1 and earlier, it is possible for index_getnext() to try to examine
a heap buffer for possible HOT-prune when in recovery; this causes a
problem when a multixact is found in a tuple's Xmax, because
GetMultiXactIdMembers refuses to run when in recovery, raising an error:
ERROR: cannot GetMultiXactIdMembers() during recovery
This can be solved easily by having MultiXactIdIsRunning always return
false when in recovery, which is reasonable because a HOT standby cannot
acquire further tuple locks nor update/delete tuples.
(Note: it doesn't look like this specific code path has a problem in
9.2, because instead of doing HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate directly,
heap_hot_search_buffer uses HeapTupleIsSurelyDead instead. Still, there
may be other paths affected by the same bug, for instance in pgrowlocks,
and the multixact code hasn't changed; so apply the same fix
throughout.)
Apply this fix to 9.0 through 9.2. In 9.3 the multixact code has been
changed completely and is no longer subject to this problem.

PostgreSQL already checked the vast majority of these, missing this
handful that nearly cannot fail. If putenv() failed with ENOMEM in
pg_GSS_recvauth(), authentication would proceed with the wrong keytab
file. If strftime() returned zero in cache_locale_time(), using the
unspecified buffer contents could lead to information exposure or a
crash. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Other unchecked calls to these functions, especially those in frontend
code, pose negligible security concern. This patch does not address
them. Nonetheless, it is always better to check return values whose
specification provides for indicating an error.
In passing, fix an off-by-one error in strftime_win32()'s invocation of
WideCharToMultiByte(). Upon retrieving a value of exactly MAX_L10N_DATA
bytes, strftime_win32() would overrun the caller's buffer by one byte.
MAX_L10N_DATA is chosen to exceed the length of every possible value, so
the vulnerable scenario probably does not arise.

All known standard library implementations of these functions can fail
with ENOMEM. A caller neglecting to check for failure would experience
missing output, information exposure, or a crash. Check return values
within wrappers and code, currently just snprintf.c, that bypasses the
wrappers. The wrappers do not return after an error, so their callers
need not check. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
Popular free software standard library implementations do take pains to
bypass malloc() in simple cases, but they risk ENOMEM for floating point
numbers, positional arguments, large field widths, and large precisions.
No specification demands such caution, so this commit regards every call
to a printf family function as a potential threat.
Injecting the wrappers implicitly is a compromise between patch scope
and design goals. I would prefer to edit each call site to name a
wrapper explicitly. libpq and the ECPG libraries would, ideally, convey
errors to the caller rather than abort(). All that would be painfully
invasive for a back-patched security fix, hence this compromise.

Reentering this function with the right timing caused a double free,
typically crashing the backend. By synchronizing a disconnection with
the authentication timeout, an unauthenticated attacker could achieve
this somewhat consistently. Call be_tls_close() solely from within
proc_exit_prepare(). Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

Commit 81c45081 introduced a new RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK mode to ReadBuffer, which
takes a lock on the buffer before zeroing it. However, you cannot take a
lock on a local buffer, and you got a segfault instead. The version of that
patch committed to master included a check for !isLocalBuf, and therefore
didn't crash, but oddly I missed that in the back-patched versions. This
patch adds that check to the back-branches too.
RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK mode is only used during WAL replay, and in hash indexes.
WAL replay only deals with shared buffers, so the only way to trigger the
bug is with a temporary hash index.

If a row that potentially violates a deferred exclusion constraint is
HOT-updated later in the same transaction, the exclusion constraint would
be reported as violated when the check finally occurs, even if the row(s)
the new row originally conflicted with have since been removed. This
happened because the wrong TID was passed to check_exclusion_constraint(),
causing the live HOT-updated row to be seen as a conflicting row rather
than recognized as the row-under-test.
Per bug #13148 from Evan Martin. It's been broken since exclusion
constraints were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The Service Control Manager should be notified regularly during a shutdown
that takes a long time. Previously we would increaes the counter, but forgot
to actually send the notification to the system. The loop counter was also
incorrectly initalized in the event that the startup of the system took long
enough for it to increase, which could cause the shutdown process not to wait
as long as expected.

An outer join appearing within the RHS of an antijoin can't commute with
the antijoin, but somehow I missed teaching make_outerjoininfo() about
that. In Teodor Sigaev's recent trouble report, this manifests as a
"could not find RelOptInfo for given relids" error within eqjoinsel();
but I think silently wrong query results are possible too, if the planner
misorders the joins and doesn't happen to trigger any internal consistency
checks. It's broken as far back as we had antijoins, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

When the startup process recovers transactions by scanning pg_twophase
directory, it should clear MyLockedGxact after it's done processing each
transaction. Like we do during normal operation, at PREPARE TRANSACTION.
Otherwise, if the startup process exits due to an error, it will try to
clear the locking_backend field of the last recovered transaction. That's
usually harmless, but if the error happens in MarkAsPreparing, while
holding TwoPhaseStateLock, the shmem-exit hook will try to acquire
TwoPhaseStateLock again, and deadlock with itself.
This fixes bug #13128 reported by Grant McAlister. The bug was introduced
by commit bb38fb0d, so backpatch to all supported versions like that
commit.

After a timeline switch, we would leave behind recycled WAL segments that
are in the future, but on the old timeline. After promotion, and after they
become old enough to be recycled again, we would notice that they don't have
a .ready or .done file, create a .ready file for them, and archive them.
That's bogus, because the files contain garbage, recycled from an older
timeline (or prealloced as zeros). We shouldn't archive such files.
This could happen when we're following a timeline switch during replay, or
when we switch to new timeline at end-of-recovery.
To fix, whenever we switch to a new timeline, scan the data directory for
WAL segments on the old timeline, but with a higher segment number, and
remove them. Those don't belong to our timeline history, and are most
likely bogus recycled or preallocated files. They could also be valid files
that we streamed from the primary ahead of time, but in any case, they're
not needed to recover to the new timeline.

It was previously possible to have the launcher re-execute its main loop
before shutting down if some other signal was received or an error
occurred after getting SIGTERM, as reported by Qingqing Zhou.
While investigating, Tom Lane further noticed that if autovacuum had
been disabled in the config file, it would misbehave by trying to start
a new worker instead of bailing out immediately -- it would consider
itself as invoked in emergency mode.
Fix both problems by checking the shutdown flag in a few more places.
These problems have existed since autovacuum was introduced, so
backpatch all the way back.

Previously we would re-use input subexpressions in all expression trees
attached to a Join plan node. However, if it's an outer join and the
subexpression appears in the nullable-side input, this is potentially
incorrect for apparently-matching subexpressions that came from above
the outer join (ie, targetlist and qpqual expressions), because the
executor will treat the subexpression value as NULL when maybe it should
not be.
The case is fairly hard to hit because (a) you need a non-strict
subexpression (else NULL is correct), and (b) we don't usually compute
expressions in the outputs of non-toplevel plan nodes. But we might do
so if the expressions are sort keys for a mergejoin, for example.
Probably in the long run we should make a more explicit distinction between
Vars appearing above and below an outer join, but that will be a major
planner redesign and not at all back-patchable. For the moment, just hack
set_join_references so that it will not match any non-Var expressions
coming from nullable inputs to expressions that came from above the join.
(This is somewhat overkill, in that a strict expression could still be
matched, but it doesn't seem worth the effort to check that.)
Per report from Qingqing Zhou. The added regression test case is based
on his example.
This has been broken for a very long time, so back-patch to all active
branches.

psql was already accepting conninfo strings as the first parameter in
\connect, but the way it worked wasn't sane; some of the other
parameters would get the previous connection's values, causing it to
connect to a completely unexpected server or, more likely, not finding
any server at all because of completely wrong combinations of
parameters.
Fix by explicitely checking for a conninfo-looking parameter in the
dbname position; if one is found, use its complete specification rather
than mix with the other arguments. Also, change tab-completion to not
try to complete conninfo/URI-looking "dbnames" and document that
conninfos are accepted as first argument.
There was a weak consensus to backpatch this, because while the behavior
of using the dbname as a conninfo is nowhere documented for \connect, it
is reasonable to expect that it works because it does work in many other
contexts. Therefore this is backpatched all the way back to 9.0.
To implement this, routines previously private to libpq have been
duplicated so that psql can decide what looks like a conninfo/URI
string. In back branches, just duplicate the same code all the way back
to 9.2, where URIs where introduced; 9.0 and 9.1 have a simpler version.
In master, the routines are moved to src/common and renamed.
