Some of the files we optionally link in from elsewhere weren't ignored
and/or weren't cleaned up at "make clean". Noted while testing on a
machine that needs our version of snprintf.c.

The functions in slotfuncs.c don't exist in any released version,
but the changes to xlogfuncs.c represent backward-incompatibilities.
Per discussion, we're hoping that the queries using these functions
are few enough and simple enough that this won't cause too much
breakage for users.

Change input function error messages to be more consistent with what is
done elsewhere. Remove a bunch of redundant type casts, so that the
compiler will warn us if we screw up. Don't pass LSNs by value on
platforms where a Datum is only 32 bytes, per buildfarm. Move macros
for packing and unpacking LSNs to pg_lsn.h so that we can include
access/xlogdefs.h, to avoid an unsatisfied dependency on XLogRecPtr.
|
|
Change pg_lsn_mi so that it can return negative values when subtracting
LSNs, and clean up some perhaps ill-considered macro names.

The SQL standard says that OVERLAPS should have a two-element row
constructor on each side. The original coding of OVERLAPS support in
our grammar attempted to extend that by allowing a single-element row
constructor, which it internally duplicated ... or tried to, anyway.
But that code has certainly not worked since our List infrastructure was
rewritten in 2004, and I'm none too sure it worked before that. As it
stands, it ends up building a List that includes itself, leading to
assorted undesirable behaviors later in the parser.
Even if it worked as intended, it'd be a bit evil because of the
possibility of duplicate evaluation of a volatile function that the user
had written only once. Given the lack of documentation, test cases, or
complaints, let's just get rid of the idea and only support the standard
syntax.
While we're at it, improve the error cursor positioning for the
wrong-number-of-arguments errors, and inline the makeOverlaps() function
since it's only called in one place anyway.
Per bug #9227 from Joshua Yanovski. Initial patch by Joshua Yanovski,
extended a bit by me.

The ASLR in Windows 8/Windows 2012 can break PostgreSQL's shared memory. It
doesn't fail every time (which is explained by the Random part in ASLR), but
can fail with errors abut failing to reserve shared memory region.

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.
Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()
|

Several functions, mostly type input functions, calculated an allocation
size such that the calculation wrapped to a small positive value when
arguments implied a sufficiently-large requirement. Writes past the end
of the inadvertent small allocation followed shortly thereafter.
Coverity identified the path_in() vulnerability; code inspection led to
the rest. In passing, add check_stack_depth() to prevent stack overflow
in related functions.
Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions). The non-comment hstore
changes touch code that did not exist in 8.4, so that part stops at 9.0.

Many server functions use the MAXDATELEN constant to size a buffer for
parsing or displaying a datetime value. It was much too small for the
longest possible interval output and slightly too small for certain
valid timestamp input, particularly input with a long timezone name.
The long input was rejected needlessly; the long output caused
interval_out() to overrun its buffer. ECPG's pgtypes library has a copy
of the vulnerable functions, which bore the same vulnerabilities along
with some of its own. In contrast to the server, certain long inputs
caused stack overflow rather than failing cleanly. Back-patch to 8.4
(all supported versions).

If the name lookups come to different conclusions due to concurrent
activity, we might perform some parts of the DDL on a different table
than other parts. At least in the case of CREATE INDEX, this can be
used to cause the permissions checks to be performed against a
different table than the index creation, allowing for a privilege
escalation attack.
This changes the calling convention for DefineIndex, CreateTrigger,
transformIndexStmt, transformAlterTableStmt, CheckIndexCompatible
(in 9.2 and newer), and AlterTable (in 9.1 and older). In addition,
CheckRelationOwnership is removed in 9.2 and newer and the calling
convention is changed in older branches. A field has also been added
to the Constraint node (FkConstraint in 8.4). Third-party code calling
these functions or using the Constraint node will require updating.

The primary role of PL validators is to be called implicitly during
CREATE FUNCTION, but they are also normal functions that a user can call
explicitly. Add a permissions check to each validator to ensure that a
user cannot use explicit validator calls to achieve things he could not
otherwise achieve. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
Non-core procedural language extensions ought to make the same two-line
change to their own validators.

Granting a role without ADMIN OPTION is supposed to prevent the grantee
from adding or removing members from the granted role. Issuing SET ROLE
before the GRANT bypassed that, because the role itself had an implicit
right to add or remove members. Plug that hole by recognizing that
implicit right only when the session user matches the current role.
Additionally, do not recognize it during a security-restricted operation
or during execution of a SECURITY DEFINER function. The restriction on
SECURITY DEFINER is not security-critical. However, it seems best for a
user testing his own SECURITY DEFINER function to see the same behavior
others will see. Back-patch to 8.4 (all supported versions).
The SQL standards do not conflate roles and users as PostgreSQL does;
only SQL roles have members, and only SQL users initiate sessions. An
application using PostgreSQL users and roles as SQL users and roles will
never attempt to grant membership in the role that is the session user,
so the implicit right to add or remove members will never arise.
The security impact was mostly that a role member could revoke access
from others, contrary to the wishes of his own grantor. Unapproved role
member additions are less notable, because the member can still largely
achieve that by creating a view or a SECURITY DEFINER function.

These are needed in HEAD to make assorted contrib modules build on Windows.
Now that all the MSVC and Mingw buildfarm members seem to be on the same
page about the need for them, we can have some confidence that future
problems of this ilk will be detected promptly; there seems nothing more
to be learned by delaying this fix further.
I chose to mark QueryCancelPending as well, since it's easy to imagine code
that wants to touch ProcDiePending also caring about QueryCancelPending.

uid_t and gid_t might be wider than int on some platforms.

Disabling auto-import requires that all libraries we use be careful about
declspecs for exported variables; and it seems they aren't. This means
that Cygwin will not give us useful info about missing PGDLLIMPORT markers;
but it's probably sufficient that MSVC and Mingw builds do.
|
|
This is needed on Windows to support contrib/postgres_fdw. Although it's
been broken since last March, we didn't notice until recently because there
were no active buildfarm members that complained about missing PGDLLIMPORT
marking. Efforts are underway to improve that situation, in support of
which we're delaying fixing some other cases of global variables that
should be marked PGDLLIMPORT. However, this case affects 9.3, so we
can't wait any longer to fix it.
I chose to mark DateOrder as well, though it's not strictly necessary
for postgres_fdw.

Still another step in the continuing saga of trying to get
--disable-auto-import to work.

PIDs aren't necessarily ints; our usual practice for printing them
is to explicitly cast to long. Per buildfarm member rover_firefly.
|
|
We should not assume that struct timeval.tv_sec is a long, because
it ain't necessarily. (POSIX says that it's a time_t, which might
well be 64 bits now or in the future; or for that matter might be
32 bits on machines with 64-bit longs.) Per buildfarm member panther.
Back-patch to 9.3 where the dubious coding was introduced.

We used to have externs for getopt() and its API variables scattered
all over the place. Now that we find we're going to need to tweak the
variable declarations for Cygwin, it seems like a good idea to have
just one place to tweak.
In this commit, the variables are declared "#ifndef HAVE_GETOPT_H".
That may or may not work everywhere, but we'll soon find out.

DST law changes in Jordan; historical changes in Cuba.
Also, remove the zones Asia/Riyadh87, Asia/Riyadh88, and Asia/Riyadh89.
Per the upstream announcement:
The files solar87, solar88, and solar89 are no longer distributed.
They were a negative experiment -- that is, a demonstration that
tz data can represent solar time only with some difficulty and error.
Their presence in the distribution caused confusion, as Riyadh
civil time was generally not solar time in those years.

This build technique is remarkably ugly, but that doesn't mean it has
to be unreadable too. Be a bit more liberal with the vertical whitespace,
and give the .def file a proper dependency, just in case.

If there is a WAL segment with same ID but different TLI present in both
the WAL archive and pg_xlog, prefer the one with higher TLI. Before this
patch, the archive was polled first, for all expected TLIs, and only if no
file was found was pg_xlog scanned. This was a change in behavior from 9.3,
which first scanned archive and pg_xlog for the highest TLI, then archive
and pg_xlog for the next highest TLI and so forth. This patch reverts the
behavior back to what it was in 9.2.
The reason for this is that if for example you try to do archive recovery
to timeline 2, which branched off timeline 1, but the WAL for timeline 2 is
not archived yet, we would replay past the timeline switch point on
timeline 1 using the archived files, before even looking timeline 2's files
in pg_xlog
Report and patch by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Backpatch to 9.3 where the behavior
was changed.

Adjust handleCopyOut() to stop trying to write data once it's failed
one time. For typical cases such as out-of-disk-space or broken-pipe,
additional attempts aren't going to do anything but waste time, and
in any case clean truncation of the output seems like a better behavior
than randomly dropping blocks in the middle.
Also remove dubious (and misleadingly documented) attempt to force our way
out of COPY_OUT state if libpq didn't do that. If we did have a situation
like that, it'd be a bug in libpq and would be better fixed there, IMO.
We can hope that commit fa4440f51628d692f077d54b8313aea31af087ea took care
of any such problems, anyway.
Also fix longstanding bug in handleCopyIn(): PQputCopyEnd() only supports
a non-null errormsg parameter in protocol version 3, and will actively
fail if one is passed in version 2. This would've made our attempts
to get out of COPY_IN state after a failure into infinite loops when
talking to pre-7.4 servers.
Back-patch the COPY_OUT state change business back to 9.2 where it was
introduced, and the other two fixes into all supported branches.

Previously we were piggybacking on transaction ID parameters to freeze
multixacts; but since there isn't necessarily any relationship between
rates of Xid and multixact consumption, this turns out not to be a good
idea.
Therefore, we now have multixact-specific freezing parameters:
vacuum_multixact_freeze_min_age: when to remove multis as we come across
them in vacuum (default to 5 million, i.e. early in comparison to Xid's
default of 50 million)
vacuum_multixact_freeze_table_age: when to force whole-table scans
instead of scanning only the pages marked as not all visible in
visibility map (default to 150 million, same as for Xids). Whichever of
both which reaches the 150 million mark earlier will cause a whole-table
scan.
autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age: when for cause emergency,
uninterruptible whole-table scans (default to 400 million, double as
that for Xids). This means there shouldn't be more frequent emergency
vacuuming than previously, unless multixacts are being used very
rapidly.
Backpatch to 9.3 where multixacts were made to persist enough to require
freezing. To avoid an ABI break in 9.3, VacuumStmt has a couple of
fields in an unnatural place, and StdRdOptions is split in two so that
the newly added fields can go at the end.
Patch by me, reviewed by Robert Haas, with additional input from Andres
Freund and Tom Lane.

We used the length of the input string, not the de-escaped string, as
the trigger for NAMEDATALEN truncation. AFAICS this would only result
in sometimes printing a phony truncation warning; but it's just luck
that there was no worse problem, since we were violating the API spec
for truncate_identifier(). Per bug #9204 from Joshua Yanovski.
This has been wrong since the Unicode-identifier support was added,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

In pqSendSome, if the connection is already closed at entry, discard any
queued output data before returning. There is no possibility of ever
sending the data, and anyway this corresponds to what we'd do if we'd
detected a hard error while trying to send(). This avoids possible
indefinite bloat of the output buffer if the application keeps trying
to send data (or even just keeps trying to do PQputCopyEnd, as psql
indeed will).
Because PQputCopyEnd won't transition out of PGASYNC_COPY_IN state
until it's successfully queued the COPY END message, and pqPutMsgEnd
doesn't distinguish a queuing failure from a pqSendSome failure,
this omission allowed an infinite loop in psql if the connection closure
occurred when we had at least 8K queued to send. It might be worth
refactoring so that we can make that distinction, but for the moment
the other changes made here seem to offer adequate defenses.
To guard against other variants of this scenario, do not allow
PQgetResult to return a PGRES_COPY_XXX result if the connection is
already known dead. Make sure it returns PGRES_FATAL_ERROR instead.
Per report from Stephen Frost. Back-patch to all active branches.

In a database that's not yet reached consistency, it's possible that some
segments of a relation are not full-size but are not the last ones either.
Because of the way smgrnblocks() works, asking for a new page with P_NEW
will fill in the last not-full-size segment --- and if that makes it full
size, the apparent EOF of the relation will increase by more than one page,
so that the next P_NEW request will yield a page past the next consecutive
one. This breaks the relation-extension logic in XLogReadBufferExtended,
possibly allowing a page update to be applied to some page far past where
it was intended to go. This appears to be the explanation for reports of
table bloat on replication slaves compared to their masters, and probably
explains some corrupted-slave reports as well.
Fix the loop to check the page number it actually got, rather than merely
Assert()'ing that dead reckoning got it to the desired place. AFAICT,
there are no other places that make assumptions about exactly which page
they'll get from P_NEW.
Problem identified by Greg Stark, though this is not the same as his
proposed patch.
It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

This is evidently the default on buildfarm member narwhal, but that
is a pretty ancient Mingw version, and there is reason to think that
more recent versions of GNU ld have this feature turned on by default.
Since we are trying to achieve consistency of link behavior across
all Windows toolchains, let's just make sure here.
|
|
This is expected to make it start failing when contrib modules
reference non-PGDLLIMPORT'ed global variables, as the other Windows
build methods do. Aside from the value of consistency, the underlying
implementation of this switch is pretty ugly and not really something
we want to rely on if we have to use PGDLLIMPORT anyway for MSVC.
|
|
Reading the GNU ld man page suggests that this is order-sensitive
and should go in front of library references. Correction to commit
846e91e0223cf9f2821c3ad4dfffffbb929cb027.
|
|
This should make the MSVC build act more like builds for other platforms,
i.e. backend global variables will be automatically available to loadable
libraries without need for explicit PGDLLIMPORT marking.

Get rid of use of dlltool for linking the main postgres executable.
dlltool is obsolete and we'd prefer to stop depending on it.
Also, include $(LDAP_LIBS_FE) in $(libpq_pgport). (It's not clear that
this is really needed, or why it's not a linker bug if it is needed.
But reports are that it's needed on current Cygwin.)
We might want to back-patch this if it works, but first let's see

This results in spurious empty lines in the server log. Instead, add
the newlines only when printing out the --echo output. In some cases,
this was already done, leading to two newlines being printed. Clean
that up as well.
