2024-12-05Avoid low-probability crash on out-of-memory.Tom Lane
check_restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind() correctly uses guc_malloc() in v16 and later. But in older branches it must use malloc() directly, and it forgot to check for failure return. Faulty backpatching of 66e94448a. Karina Litskevich Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CACiT8iZ=atkguKVbpN4HmJFMb4+T9yEowF5JuPZG8W+kkZ9L6w@mail.gmail.com
2024-12-03RelationTruncate() must set DELAY_CHKPT_START.Thomas Munro
Previously, it set only DELAY_CHKPT_COMPLETE. That was important, because it meant that if the XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record preceded a XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record in the WAL, then the truncation would also happen on disk before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. However, it didn't guarantee that the sync request for the truncation was processed before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. By setting DELAY_CHKPT_START, we guarantee that if an XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record is written to WAL before the redo pointer of a concurrent checkpoint, the sync request queued by that operation must be processed by that checkpoint, rather than being left for the following one. This is a refinement of commit 412ad7a5563. Back-patch to all supported releases, like that commit.

2024-12-01Fix broken list-munging in ecpg's remove_variables().Tom Lane
The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance "prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables, which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug. It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the "prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy, but it seems better to make them all look alike.) Coverity discovered this problem, but not until 2b41de4a5 added code to free no-longer-needed arguments structs. With that, the incorrect link updates are possibly touching freed memory, and it complained about that. Nonetheless the list corruption hazard is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches.
2024-11-29Fix MinGW %d vs %lu warnings in back branches.Thomas Munro
Commit 352f6f2d used %d instead of %lu to format DWORD (unsigned long) with psprintf(). The _WIN32_WINNT value recently changed for MinGW in REL_15_STABLE (commit d700e8d7), so the code was suddenly being compiled, with warnings from gcc. The warnings were already fixed in 16+ by commits 495ed0ef and a9bc04b2 after the _WIN32_WINNT value was increase there. 14 and 13 didn't warn because they still use a lower value for MinGW, and supported versions of Visual Studio should compile the code in all live branches but don't check our format string. The change doesn't affect the result: sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) on this platform, and the values are computed with expressions that cannot exceed INT_MAX so were never interpreted as negative. Back-patch the formatting change from those commits into 13-15. This should turn CI's 15 branch green again and stop fairywren from warning about that on 15.

2024-11-28Skip SectionMemoryManager.h in cpluspluscheck.Thomas Munro
Commit 9044fc1d45a0 skipped SectionMemoryManager.h in headerscheck, and by extension also cpluspluscheck, because it's C++ and would fail both tests. That worked in master and REL_17_STABLE due to 7b8e2ae2fd3b, but older branches have a separate cpluspluscheck script. We need to copy the filtering rule into there too. This problem was being reported by CI's CompilerWarnings task in the 15 and 16 branches, but was a victim of alert fatigue syndrome (unrelated problems in the back-branches). Fix 16, and back-patch to 13, as those are the live branches that have a separate cpluspluscheck script.

2024-11-27Handle better implicit transaction state of pipeline modeMichael Paquier
When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends. Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock() were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL, complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block. The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like: - SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a transaction state. - LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it should be able to work within a transaction block. The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is considered as within a transaction block. This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is enough to rely on the existing ones. Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backpatched down to v17 when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and \endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as future work for v18~.

2024-11-25Fix NULLIF()'s handling of read-write expanded objects.Tom Lane
If passed a read-write expanded object pointer, the EEOP_NULLIF code would hand that same pointer to the equality function and then (unless equality was reported) also return the same pointer as its value. This is no good, because a function that receives a read-write expanded object pointer is fully entitled to scribble on or even delete the object, thus corrupting the NULLIF output. (This problem is likely unobservable with the equality functions provided in core Postgres, but it's easy to demonstrate with one coded in plpgsql.) To fix, make sure the pointer passed to the equality function is read-only. We can still return the original read-write pointer as the NULLIF result, allowing optimization of later operations. Per bug #18722 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been wrong since we invented expanded objects, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-11-25Avoid "you don't own a lock of type ExclusiveLock" in GRANT TABLESPACE.Noah Misch
This WARNING appeared because SearchSysCacheLocked1() read cc_relisshared before catcache initialization, when the field is false unconditionally. On the basis of reading false there, it constructed a locktag as though pg_tablespace weren't relisshared. Only shared catalogs could be affected, and only GRANT TABLESPACE was affected in practice. SearchSysCacheLocked1() callers use one other shared-relation syscache, DATABASEOID. DATABASEOID is initialized by the end of CheckMyDatabase(), making the problem unreachable for pg_database. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions). This has no known impact before v16, where ExecGrant_common() first appeared. Earlier branches avoid trouble by having a separate ExecGrant_Tablespace() that doesn't use LOCKTAG_TUPLE. However, leaving this unfixed in v15 could ensnare a future back-patch of a SearchSysCacheLocked1() call. Reported by Aya Iwata.

Tcl 9 changed several API functions to take Tcl_Size, which is ptrdiff_t, instead of int, for 64-bit enablement. We have to change a few local variables to be compatible with that. We also provide a fallback typedef of Tcl_Size for older Tcl versions.

2024-11-25Assume that <stdbool.h> conforms to the C standard.Thomas Munro
Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using autoconf's AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro. We've required C99 since PostgreSQL 12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf 2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords). Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the anachronistic test. HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see below). PG_USE_STDBOOL (or USE_STDBOOL in 11 and 12) is still defined when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems. Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal back-patchable change.) This came to our attention when GCC 15 recently started using using C23 by default and failed to compile the replacement code, as reported by Sam James and build farm animal alligator. Back-patch to all supported releases, and then two older versions that also know about <stdbool.h>, per the recently-out-of-support policy[1]. 12 requires C99 so it's much like the supported releases, but 11 only assumes C89 so it now uses AC_CHECK_HEADERS instead of the overly picky AC_HEADER_STDBOOL. (I could find no discussion of which historical systems had <stdbool.h> but failed the conformance test; if they ever existed, they surely aren't relevant to that policy's goals.)

2024-11-20Avoid assertion failure if a setop leaf query contains setops.Tom Lane
Ordinarily transformSetOperationTree will collect all UNION/ INTERSECT/EXCEPT steps into the setOperations tree of the topmost Query, so that leaf queries do not contain any setOperations. However, it cannot thus flatten a subquery that also contains WITH, ORDER BY, FOR UPDATE, or LIMIT. I (tgl) forgot that in commit 07b4c48b6 and wrote an assertion in rule deparsing that a leaf's setOperations would always be empty. If it were nonempty then we would want to parenthesize the subquery to ensure that the output represents the setop nesting correctly (e.g. UNION below INTERSECT had better get parenthesized). So rather than just removing the faulty Assert, let's change it into an additional case to check to decide whether to add parens. We don't expect that the additional case will ever fire, but it's cheap insurance. Man Zeng and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/tencent_7ABF9B1F23B0C77606FC5FE3@qq.com
2024-11-19Compare collations before merging UNION operations.Tom Lane
In the dim past we figured it was okay to ignore collations when combining UNION set-operation nodes into a single N-way UNION operation. I believe that was fine at the time, but it stopped being fine when we added nondeterministic collations: the semantics of distinct-ness are affected by those. v17 made it even less fine by allowing per-child sorting operations to be merged via MergeAppend, although I think we accidentally avoided any live bug from that. Add a check that collations match before deciding that two UNION nodes are equivalent. I also failed to resist the temptation to comment plan_union_children() a little better. Back-patch to all supported branches (v13 now), since they all have nondeterministic collations. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3605568.1731970579@sss.pgh.pa.us
2024-11-17Fix recently-exposed portability issue in regex optimization.Tom Lane
fixempties() counts the number of in-arcs in the regex NFA and then allocates an array of that many arc pointers. If the NFA contains no arcs, this amounts to malloc(0) for which some platforms return NULL. The code mistakenly treats that as indicating out-of-memory. Thus, we can get a bogus "out of memory" failure for some unsatisfiable regexes. This happens only in v15 and earlier, since bea3d7e38 switched to using palloc() rather than bare malloc(). And at least of the platforms in the buildfarm, only AIX seems to return NULL. So the impact is pretty narrow. But I don't especially want to ship code that is failing its own regression tests, so let's fix this for this week's releases. A quick code survey says that there is only the one place in src/backend/regex/ that is at risk of doing malloc(0), so we'll just band-aid that place. A more future-proof fix could be to install a malloc() wrapper similar to pg_malloc(). But this code seems unlikely to change much more in the affected branches, so that's probably overkill. The only known test case for this involves a complemented character class in a bracket expression, for example [^\s\S], and we didn't support that in v13. So it may be that the problem is unreachable in v13. But I'm not 100% sure of that, so patch v13 too. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/661fd81b-f069-8f30-1a41-e195c57449b4@gmail.com
2024-11-16Undo unintentional ABI break in struct ResultRelInfo.Tom Lane
Commits aac2c9b4f et al. added a bool field to struct ResultRelInfo. That's no problem in the master branch, but in released branches care must be taken when modifying publicly-visible structs to avoid an ABI break for extensions. Frequently we solve that by adding the new field at the end of the struct, and that's what was done here. But ResultRelInfo has stricter constraints than just about any other node type in Postgres. Some executor APIs require extensions to index into arrays of ResultRelInfo, which means that any change whatever in sizeof(ResultRelInfo) causes a fatal ABI break. Fortunately, this is easy to fix, because the new field can be squeezed into available padding space instead --- indeed, that's where it was put in master, so this fix also removes a cross-branch coding variation. Per report from Pavan Deolasee. Patch v14-v17 only; earlier versions did not gain the extra field, nor is there any problem in master.

2024-11-15Fix a possibility of logical replication slot's restart_lsn going backwards.Masahiko Sawada
Previously LogicalIncreaseRestartDecodingForSlot() accidentally accepted any LSN as the candidate_lsn and candidate_valid after the restart_lsn of the replication slot was updated, so it potentially caused the restart_lsn to move backwards. A scenario where this could happen in logical replication is: after a logical replication restart, based on previous candidate_lsn and candidate_valid values in memory, the restart_lsn advances upon receiving a subscriber acknowledgment. Then, logical decoding restarts from an older point, setting candidate_lsn and candidate_valid based on an old RUNNING_XACTS record. Subsequent subscriber acknowledgments then update the restart_lsn to an LSN older than the current value. In the reported case, after WAL files were removed by a checkpoint, the retreated restart_lsn prevented logical replication from restarting due to missing WAL segments. This change essentially modifies the 'if' condition to 'else if' condition within the function. The previous code had an asymmetry in this regard compared to LogicalIncreaseXminForSlot(), which does almost the same thing for different fields. The WAL removal issue was reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. Backpatch to all supported versions, since the bug exists since 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

2024-11-15Avoid assertion due to disconnected NFA sub-graphs in regex parsing.Tom Lane
In commit 08c0d6ad6 which introduced "rainbow" arcs in regex NFAs, I didn't think terribly hard about what to do when creating the color complement of a rainbow arc. Clearly, the complement cannot match any characters, and I took the easy way out by just not building any arcs at all in the complement arc set. That mostly works, but Nikolay Shaplov found a case where it doesn't: if we decide to delete that sub-NFA later because it's inside a "{0}" quantifier, delsub() suffered an assertion failure. That's because delsub() relies on the target sub-NFA being fully connected. That was always true before, and the best fix seems to be to restore that property. Hence, invent a new arc type CANTMATCH that can be generated in place of an empty color complement, and drop it again later when we start NFA optimization. (At that point we don't need to do delsub() any more, and besides there are other cases where NFA optimization can lead to disconnected subgraphs.) It appears that this bug has no consequences in a non-assert-enabled build: there will be some transiently leaked NFA states/arcs, but they'll get cleaned up eventually. Still, we don't like assertion failures, so back-patch to v14 where rainbow arcs were introduced. Per bug #18708 from Nikolay Shaplov.

2024-11-15Avoid deleting critical WAL segments during pg_rewindÁlvaro Herrera
Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible for pg_rewind to remove certain WAL segments from the rewound demoted primary. In particular this happens if those files have been marked for archival (i.e., their .ready files were created) but not yet archived; the newly promoted node no longer has such files because of them having been recycled, but they are likely critical for recovery in the demoted node. If pg_rewind removes them, recovery is not possible anymore. Fix this by maintaining a hash table of files in this situation in the scan that looks for a checkpoint, which the decide_file_actions phase can consult so that it knows to preserve them. Backpatch to 14. The problem also exists in 13, but that branch was not blessed with commit eb00f1d4bf96, so this patch is difficult to apply there.

2024-11-11Parallel workers use AuthenticatedUserId for connection privilege checks.Tom Lane
Commit 5a2fed911 had an unexpected side-effect: the parallel worker launched for the new test case would fail if it couldn't use a superuser-reserved connection slot. The reason that test failed while all our pre-existing ones worked is that the connection privilege tests in InitPostgres had been based on the superuserness of the leader's AuthenticatedUserId, but after the rearrangements of 5a2fed911 we were testing the superuserness of CurrentUserId, which the new test case deliberately made to be a non-superuser. This all seems very accidental and probably not the behavior we really want, but a security patch is no time to be redesigning things. Pending some discussion about desirable semantics, hack it so that InitPostgres continues to pay attention to the superuserness of AuthenticatedUserId when starting a parallel worker.

2024-11-11Fix improper interactions between session_authorization and role.Tom Lane
The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea. In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to work around it, led to some security-grade issues: * Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what it had been. * The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause. * If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw "none" even when it should see something else. Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail. Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker startup. In v16 and earlier, this includes back-patching 9987a7bf3 which fixed a violation of GUC coding rules: SetSessionAuthorization is not an appropriate place to be throwing errors from.

2024-11-11Block environment variable mutations from trusted PL/Perl.Noah Misch
Many process environment variables (e.g. PATH), bypass the containment expected of a trusted PL. Hence, trusted PLs must not offer features that achieve setenv(). Otherwise, an attacker having USAGE privilege on the language often can achieve arbitrary code execution, even if the attacker lacks a database server operating system user. To fix PL/Perl, replace trusted PL/Perl %ENV with a tied hash that just replaces each modification attempt with a warning. Sites that reach these warnings should evaluate the application-specific implications of proceeding without the environment modification: Can the application reasonably proceed without the modification?

2024-11-11libpq: Bail out during SSL/GSS negotiation errorsMichael Paquier
This commit changes libpq so that errors reported by the backend during the protocol negotiation for SSL and GSS are discarded by the client, as these may include bytes that could be consumed by the client and write arbitrary bytes to a client's terminal. A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately reported, without a retry on any other methods allowed, like a fallback to a plaintext connection. A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection attempt with a pre-11 server, GSS encryption having been introduced in v12. This was a problem only with v17 and newer versions; older versions discard the error message already in this case, assuming a failure caused by a lack of support for GSS encryption.

2024-11-08Improve fix for not entering parallel mode when holding interrupts.Tom Lane
Commit ac04aa84a put the shutoff for this into the planner, which is not ideal because it doesn't prevent us from re-using a previously made parallel plan. Revert the planner change and instead put the shutoff into InitializeParallelDSM, modeling it on the existing code there for recovering from failure to allocate a DSM segment. However, that code path is mostly untested, and testing a bit harder showed there's at least one bug: ExecHashJoinReInitializeDSM is not prepared for us to have skipped doing parallel DSM setup. I also thought the Assert in ReinitializeParallelWorkers is pretty ill-advised, and replaced it with a silent Min() operation. The existing test case added by ac04aa84a serves fine to test this version of the fix, so no change needed there. Patch by me, but thanks to Noah Misch for the core idea that we could shut off worker creation when !INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED. Back-patch to v12, as ac04aa84a was.

2024-11-08Disallow partitionwise join when collations don't matchAmit Langote
If the collation of any join key column doesn’t match the collation of the corresponding partition key, partitionwise joins can yield incorrect results. For example, rows that would match under the join key collation might be located in different partitions due to the partitioning collation. In such cases, a partitionwise join would yield different results from a non-partitionwise join, so disallow it in such cases.

2024-11-08Disallow partitionwise grouping when collations don't matchAmit Langote
If the collation of any grouping column doesn’t match the collation of the corresponding partition key, partitionwise grouping can yield incorrect results. For example, rows that would be grouped under the grouping collation may end up in different partitions under the partitioning collation. In such cases, full partitionwise grouping would produce results that differ from those without partitionwise grouping, so disallowed that. Partial partitionwise aggregation is still allowed, as the Finalize step reconciles partition-level aggregates with grouping requirements across all partitions, ensuring that the final output remains consistent. This commit also fixes group_by_has_partkey() by ensuring the RelabelType node is stripped from grouping expressions when matching them to partition key expressions to avoid false mismatches.

2024-11-08Replace pgwin32_is_junction() with lstat().Thomas Munro
Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold. The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The lstat()-based code has handling for that. This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now it does.

2024-11-08Fix lstat() for broken junction points on Windows.Thomas Munro
When using junction points to emulate symlinks on Windows, one edge case was not handled correctly by commit c5cb8f3b: if a junction point is broken (pointing to a non-existent path), we'd report ENOENT. This doesn't break any known use case, but was noticed while developing a test suite for these functions and is fixed here for completeness. Also add translation ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_FILENAME -> ENOENT, as that is one of the errors Windows can report for some kinds of broken paths.

2024-11-08Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.Thomas Munro
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available. This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to this investigation and fix.

2024-11-06Monkey-patch LLVM code to fix ARM relocation bug.Thomas Munro
Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael Smith's proposed fix from https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968. We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now. The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete. Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld. The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20, we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to resynchronize our copy and update some comments. The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of the pull request. Per the LLVM project's license requirements, a copy is in SectionMemoryManager.LICENSE. This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately from users on large memory ARM systems. Back-patch to all supported releases.
