Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist
after all on Solaris < 11. This means we need to take positive action to
prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform.
I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear
that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol
that way.
Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code
duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the
socket option.
In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages
by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc,
throughout the affected files. And update relevant documentation so
that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible
socket option names.
Like the previous commit (f0256c774), back-patch to all supported branches.

Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD,
at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that
text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the
symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't
seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to
bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality.
Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from
Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there
since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c8, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

check_agg_arguments_walker threw an error upon seeing a SRF or window
function, but that is too aggressive: if the function is within a
sub-select then it's perfectly fine. I broke the SRF case in commit
0436f6bde by copying the logic for window functions ... but that was
broken too, and had been since commit eaccfded9.
Repair both cases in HEAD, and the window function case back to 9.3.
9.2 gets this right.

When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send
a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new
walreceiver to be launched. There's a race condition, which at least
in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that
signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process.
In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request
on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant. Eventually, after
10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a
fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have
been re-established almost immediately.
Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't
clear until we do launch a walreceiver. In cases where that results
in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize
it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway
for the opposite race case.
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the
src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there in test cases where
a master server is stopped and restarted while leaving streaming
slaves active.
This logic has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time
before when it last wrote the relevant stats file. That's fine, but at
startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their
timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary
stats files had been written. In reality, of course, there's no data
out there at all. This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after
startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less
than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for
testing and in the field. Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds
and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out
by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within
that interval.
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the
src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum
launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup,
thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly. We might
want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to
getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless.
In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it
re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a
short read from the stats file. (Other reads in that function
go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.)
This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent
and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed,
and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender,
restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could
accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline. Later
checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an
error during creation, and it would get archived. That causes trouble
if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before
the timeline creation, because it would try to read the
segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines,
which doesn't have valid contents. Thus replay would fail.
The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment
and/or having restore_command filter it out.
The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after
an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of
the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg().
Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last
segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from
causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on
the new timeline.
Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

When a new base type is created using the old-style procedure of first
creating the input/output functions with "opaque" in place of the base
type, the "opaque" argument/return type is changed to the final base type,
on CREATE TYPE. However, we did not create a pg_depend record when doing
that, so the functions were left not depending on the type.

We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern
wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection
without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically
indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and
returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult
object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results
in a process-lifespan memory leak.
One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because
the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails.
But we might as well fix it.
The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome
because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing
the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying
about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR),
providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult.
Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a
few other places in postgres_fdw.
Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases
by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput.
Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks
postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch).

If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer,
libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear
the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when
reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would
always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error.
pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like
the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak
some memory instead.
Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list
multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests
Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to
the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request"
errors.
To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to
pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting.
Patch by Michael Paquier, with some kibitzing by me.
Backpatch down to 9.3. 9.2 has the same bug, but the code around closing
the connection is somewhat different, so that this patch doesn't apply.
To fix this in 9.2, I think we would need to back-port commit 210eb9b743
first, and then apply this patch. However, given that we only bumped into
this in our own testing, we haven't heard any reports from users about
this, and that 9.2 will be end-of-lifed in a couple of months anyway, it
doesn't seem worth the risk and trouble.

Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's
problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal
handlers, indicating a pending configuration reload. Only certain
walsender commands reach code paths checking for the
variable (START_[LOGICAL_]REPLICATION, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT
... LOGICAL, notably not base backups).
This is a bug present since the introduction of walsender, but has
gotten worse in releases since then which allow walsender to do more.
A later patch, not slated for v10, will similarly unify SIGHUP
handling in other types of processes as well.

On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.
We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions
such as Citus and pglogical where it's becoming a problem. A bit of
research suggests that the penalty for -fPIC is small, in the
single-digit-percentage range --- and there's none at all on popular
platforms such as x86_64. So let's just default to -fPIC everywhere
and provide one less thing for extension developers to worry about.

pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching
version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to
preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to
need to run it. However, that means you can try to run it against a
data directory of a different major version, which is at best useless
and at worst disastrous. So as to provide some protection against that
type of pilot error, inspect PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do
anything if it doesn't match. PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb,
so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and even if it were corrupted it would
be easy to fix by hand.
This hazard has been there all along, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

SET

This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions
that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input. isspace() has
the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space
in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully
for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return
false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters. That's
disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between
valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise. Even treating
no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched
here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character.
Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying
regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing
GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and
SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of
directories).
All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar
constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of
whitespace match the core scanner. So we can hope that this won't cause
many backwards-compatibility problems. I've left alone isspace() calls
in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters,
such as float8in().

The cash_div_intX functions applied rint() to the result of the division.
That's not merely useless (because the result is already an integer) but
it causes precision loss for values larger than 2^52 or so, because of
the forced conversion to float8.
On the other hand, the cash_mul_fltX functions neglected to apply rint() to
their multiplication results, thus possibly causing off-by-one outputs.
Per C standard, arithmetic between any integral value and a float value is
performed in float format. Thus, cash_mul_flt4 and cash_div_flt4 produced
answers good to only about six digits, even when the float value is exact.
We can improve matters noticeably by widening the float inputs to double.
(It's tempting to consider using "long double" arithmetic if available,
but that's probably too much of a stretch for a back-patched fix.)
Also, document that cash_div_intX operators truncate rather than round.

When stdin is a terminal, it's possible to end a COPY FROM STDIN with
a keyboard EOF signal (typically control-D), and then keep on issuing
SQL commands. One would expect another COPY FROM STDIN to work as well,
but on some platforms it did not. This turns out to be because we were
not resetting the stream's feof() flag, and BSD-ish versions of fread()
and fgets() won't attempt to read more data if that's set.
The misbehavior is observed on BSDen (including macOS), but not Linux,
Windows, or SysV-ish Unixen, which makes this a portability bug not
just a missing feature.
Add a clearerr() call to fix the behavior, and improve the prompt that's
issued when copying from a TTY to mention that EOF signals work.

Commit 65c3bf19fd3e1f6a591618e92eb4c54d0b217564 moved handling of the,
already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval().
The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the
change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection
even when set. Its documentation remained. Restore its implementation.
Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for
those not following the link to requiressl. Back-patch to 9.3, where
commit 65c3bf1 first appeared.
Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated
and non-deprecated settings. Before commit 65c3bf1, libpq operated
according to the first of these found:
requiressl=1
PGREQUIRESSL=1
sslmode=*
PGSSLMODE=*
(Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress
PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1. PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect
whatsoever.) Starting with commit 65c3bf1, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL,
and order of precedence changed to this:
last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
PGSSLMODE=*
Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence:
last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
PGSSLMODE=*
PGREQUIRESSL=1
This retains the 65c3bf1 behavior for connection strings that contain
both requiressl=* and sslmode=*. It retains the 65c3bf1 change that
either connection string option overrides both environment variables.
For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this
avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full"
configurations originating under v9.3 and later.

Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over
data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows
those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on
the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is
satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table
underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning
will proceed as if there are no statistics available.
At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only
situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or

Somehow, we'd missed ever doing this. The consequences aren't too
severe: basically, the timezone library would fall back on its hardwired
notion of the DST transition dates to use for a POSIX-style zone name,

effect would only be to obey current US DST law further back than it
ought to apply; so it's not real surprising that nobody noticed.

materialized views were unpopulated iff they had physical size zero.
We got rid of that rule very shortly later, in commit 1d6c72a55, but
kept the test case. However, because the case now asks what VACUUM
will do to a zero-sized physical file, it would be pretty surprising
if the answer were ever anything but "nothing" ... and if things were
indeed that broken, surely we'd find it out from other tests. Since
the test involves a table that's fairly large by regression-test
standards (100K rows), it's quite slow to run. Dropping it should
save some buildfarm cycles, so let's do that.

tzparse() would attempt to load the "posixrules" timezone database file on
each call. That might seem like it would only be an issue when selecting a
POSIX-style zone name rather than a zone defined in the timezone database,
but it turns out that each zone definition file contains a POSIX-style zone
string and tzload() will call tzparse() to parse that. Thus, when scanning
the whole timezone file tree as we do in the pg_timezone_names view,
"posixrules" was read repetitively for each zone definition file. Fix
that by caching the file on first use within any given process. (We cache
other zone definitions for the life of the process, so there seems little
reason not to cache this one as well.) This probably won't help much in
processes that never run pg_timezone_names, but even one additional SET
of the timezone GUC would come out ahead.
An even worse problem for pg_timezone_names is that pg_open_tzfile()
has an inefficient way of identifying the canonical case of a zone name:
it basically re-descends the directory tree to the zone file. That's not
awful for an individual "SET timezone" operation, but it's pretty horrid
when we're inspecting every zone in the database. And it's pointless too
because we already know the canonical spelling, having just read it from
the filesystem. Fix by teaching pg_open_tzfile() to avoid the directory
search if it's not asked for the canonical name, and backfilling the
proper result in pg_tzenumerate_next().
In combination these changes seem to make the pg_timezone_names view
about 3x faster to read, for me. Since a scan of pg_timezone_names
has up to now been one of the slowest queries in the regression tests,
this should help some little bit for buildfarm cycle times.
Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because it's likely
that users will care much about the view's performance as because
tracking changes in the upstream IANA timezone code is really painful
if we don't keep all the branches in sync.

Due to a missing CommandCounterIncrement() call, parsing of a non-utility
command in an extension script would not see the effects of the immediately
preceding DDL command, unless that command's execution ends with
CommandCounterIncrement() internally ... which some do but many don't.
Report by Philippe Beaudoin, diagnosis by Julien Rouhaud.
Rather remarkably, this bug has evaded detection since extensions were
invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.

DST law changes in Chile, Haiti, and Mongolia. Historical corrections for
Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Liberia, and Spain.
The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone
abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets. This update changes numerous zones
in South America, the Pacific and Indian oceans, and some Asian and Middle
Eastern zones. I kept these abbreviations in the tznames/ data files,
however, so that we will still accept them for input. (We may want to
start trimming those files someday, but I think we should wait for the
upstream dust to settle before deciding what to do.)
In passing, add MESZ (Mitteleuropaeische Sommerzeit) to the tznames lists;
since we accept MEZ (Mitteleuropaeische Zeit) it seems rather strange not
to take the other one. And fix some incorrect, or at least obsolete,
comments that certain abbreviations are not traceable to the IANA data.
