78d0b16f18 Fix function code in error report
This bug causes a lseek() failure to be reported as a "could not open"
failure in the error message, muddling bug reports.  I introduced this
copy-and-pasteo in commit 78e1220104.

Noticed while reviewing code for bug report #15221, from lily liang.  In
version 10 the affected function is only used by multixact.c and
commit_ts, and only in corner-case circumstances, neither of which are
involved in the reported bug (a pg_subtrans failure.)

da757bf0ff Fix misidentification of SQL statement type in plpgsql's exec_stmt_execsql.
To distinguish SQL statements that are INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from other
ones, exec_stmt_execsql looked at the post-rewrite form of the statement
rather than the original.  This is problematic because it did that only
during first execution of the statement (in a session), but the correct
answer could change later due to addition or removal of DO INSTEAD rules
during the session.  That could lead to an Assert failure, as reported
by Tushar Ahuja and Robert Haas.  In non-assert builds, there's a hazard
that we would fail to enforce STRICT behavior when we'd be expected to.
That would happen if an initially present DO INSTEAD, that replaced the
original statement with one of a different type, were removed; after that
the statement should act "normally", including strictness enforcement, but
it didn't.  (The converse case of enforcing strictness when we shouldn't
doesn't seem to be a hazard, as addition of a DO INSTEAD that changes the
statement type would always lead to acting as though the statement returned
zero rows, so that the strictness error could not fire.)

To fix, inspect the original form of the statement not the post-rewrite
form, making it valid to assume the answer can't change intra-session.
This should lead to the same answer in every case except when there is a
DO INSTEAD that changes the statement type; we will now set mod_stmt=true
anyway, while we would not have done so before.  That breaks the Assert
in the SPI_OK_REWRITTEN code path, which expected the latter behavior.
It might be all right to assert mod_stmt rather than !mod_stmt there,
but I'm not entirely convinced that that'd always hold, so just remove
the assertion altogether.

This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

cbb37b2e1f Properly schema-qualify additional object types in getObjectDescription().
Collations, conversions, extended statistics objects (in >= v10),
and all four types of text search objects have schema-qualified names.
getObjectDescription() ignored that and would emit just the base name of
the object, potentially producing wrong or at least highly misleading
output.  Fix it to add the schema name whenever the object is not "visible"
in the current search path, as is the rule for other schema-qualifiable
object types.

Although in common situations the output won't change, this seems to me
(tgl) to be a bug worthy of back-patching, hence do so.

3466b0202c Fix simple_prompt() to disable echo on Windows when stdin != terminal.
If echo = false, simple_prompt() is supposed to prevent echoing the
input (for password input).  However, the Windows implementation applied
the mode change to STD_INPUT_HANDLE.  That would not have the desired
effect if stdin isn't actually the terminal, for instance if the user
is piping something into psql.  Fix it to apply the mode change to
the correct input file, so that passwords do not echo in such cases.

In passing, shorten and de-uglify this code by using #elif rather than
an #if nest and removing some duplicated code.

Back-patch to all supported versions.  To simplify that, also back-patch
the portions of commit 9daec77e1 that got rid of an unnecessary
malloc/free in the same area.

d780283509 Widen COPY FROM's current-line-number counter from 32 to 64 bits.
Because the code for the HEADER option skips a line when this counter
is zero, a very long COPY FROM WITH HEADER operation would drop a line
every 2^32 lines.  A lesser but still unfortunate problem is that errors
would show a wrong input line number for errors occurring beyond the
2^31'st input line.  While such large input streams seemed impractical
when this code was first written, they're not any more.  Widening the
counter (and some associated variables) to uint64 should be enough to
prevent problems for the foreseeable future.

89b09db01b Fix SQL:2008 FETCH FIRST syntax to allow parameters.
OFFSET <x> ROWS FETCH FIRST <y> ROWS ONLY syntax is supposed to accept
<simple value specification>, which includes parameters as well as
literals. When this syntax was added all those years ago, it was done
inconsistently, with <x> and <y> being different subsets of the
standard syntax.

Rectify that by making <x> and <y> accept the same thing, and allowing
either a (signed) numeric literal or a c_expr there, which allows for
parameters, variables, and parenthesized arbitrary expressions.

Per bug #15200 from Lukas Eder.

0aa97b86f9 printf("%lf") is not portable, so omit the "l".
The "l" (ell) width spec means something in the corresponding scanf usage,
but not here.  While modern POSIX says that applying "l" to "f" and other
floating format specs is a no-op, SUSv2 says it's undefined.  Buildfarm
experience says that some old compilers emit warnings about it, and at
least one old stdio implementation (mingw's "ANSI" option) actually
produces wrong answers and/or crashes.

91f3bcc9e4 Support platforms where strtoll/strtoull are spelled __strtoll/__strtoull.
Ancient HPUX, for one, does this.  We hadn't noticed due to the lack
of regression tests that required a working strtoll.

(I was slightly tempted to remove the other historical spelling,
strto[u]q, since it seems we have no buildfarm members testing that case.
But I refrained.)

e9f475f991 Arrange to supply declarations for strtoll/strtoull if needed.
Buildfarm member dromedary is still unhappy about the recently-added
ecpg "long long" tests.  The reason turns out to be that it includes
"-ansi" in its CFLAGS, and in their infinite wisdom Apple have decided
to hide the declarations of strtoll/strtoull in C89-compliant builds.
(I find it pretty curious that they hide those function declarations
when you can nonetheless declare a "long long" variable, but anyway
that is their behavior, both on dromedary's obsolete macOS version and
the newest and shiniest.)  As a result, gcc assumes these functions
return "int", leading naturally to wrong results.

(Looking at dromedary's past build results, it's evident that this
problem also breaks pg_strtouint64() on 32-bit platforms; but we
evidently have no regression tests that exercise that function with
values above 32 bits.)

To fix, supply declarations for these functions when the platform
provides the functions but not the declarations, using the same type
of mechanism as we use for some other similar cases.

d9cbe9c9fc Add some test coverage for ecpg's "long long" support.
This will only actually exercise the "long long" code paths on platforms
where "long" is 32 bits --- otherwise, the SQL bigint type maps to
plain "long", and we will test that code path instead.  But that's
probably sufficient coverage, and anyway we weren't testing either
code path before.

This is needed for full support of "long long" variables in ecpg, but
the previous patch for bug #15080 (commits 51057feaa et al) missed it.

we can nonetheless use _strtoi64() and _strtoui64().

bc711befd6 Fix misprocessing of equivalence classes involving record_eq().
canonicalize_ec_expression() is supposed to agree with coerce_type() as to
whether a RelabelType should be inserted to make a subexpression be valid
input for the operators of a given opclass.  However, it did the wrong
thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a
RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't.  In some cases this was
harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class
did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to
recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence
class that it actually is a member of.  The most obvious bad effect was to
fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the
sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor
Sigaev.  I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in
misoptimization.  It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType
would sometimes get into an emitted plan --- but because record_eq and
friends don't examine the declared type of their input expressions, that
would not create any visible problems.

To fix, just treat RECORDOID as if it were a polymorphic type, which in
some sense it is.  We might want to consider formalizing that a bit more
someday, but for the moment this seems to be the only place where an
IsPolymorphicType() test ought to include RECORDOID as well.

This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

3f36e4fc5b Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2018e.
DST law changes in North Korea.  Redefinition of "daylight savings" in
Ireland, as well as for some past years in Namibia and Czechoslovakia.
Additional historical corrections for Czechoslovakia.

With this change, the IANA database models Irish timekeeping as following
"standard time" in summer, and "daylight savings" in winter, so that the
daylight savings offset is one hour behind standard time not one hour
ahead.  This does not change their UTC offset (+1:00 in summer, 0:00 in
winter) nor their timezone abbreviations (IST in summer, GMT in winter),
though now "IST" is more correctly read as "Irish Standard Time" not "Irish
Summer Time".  However, the "is_dst" column in the pg_timezone_names view
will now be true in winter and false in summer for the Europe/Dublin zone.

Similar changes were made for Namibia between 1994 and 2017, and for
Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1947.

So far as I can find, no Postgres internal logic cares about which way
tm_isdst is reported; in particular, since commit b2cbced9e we do not
rely on it to decide how to interpret ambiguous timestamps during DST
transitions.  So I don't think this change will affect any Postgres
behavior other than the timezone-view outputs.

3f91c4005f Fix bogus list-iteration code in pg_regress.c, affecting ecpg tests only.
While looking at a recent buildfarm failure in the ecpg tests, I wondered
why the pg_regress output claimed the stderr part of the test failed, when
the regression diffs were clearly for the stdout part.  Looking into it,
the reason is that pg_regress.c's logic for iterating over three parallel
lists is wrong, and has been wrong since it was written: it advances the
"tag" pointer at a different place in the loop than the other two pointers.
Fix that.

d9c7f56da4 Avoid wrong results for power() with NaN input on more platforms.
Buildfarm results show that the modern POSIX rule that 1 ^ NaN = 1 is not
honored on *BSD until relatively recently, and really old platforms don't
believe that NaN ^ 0 = 1 either.  (This is unsurprising, perhaps, since
SUSv2 doesn't require either behavior.)  In hopes of getting to platform
independent behavior, let's deal with all the NaN-input cases explicitly
in dpow().

Note that numeric_power() doesn't know either of these special cases.
But since that behavior is platform-independent, I think it should be
addressed separately, and probably not back-patched.

9680c120e5 Change more places to be less trusting of RestrictInfo.is_pushed_down.
On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much
everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag
ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also
check the clause's required_relids.  Otherwise we could make incorrect
decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause.

Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are
never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there
are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway.
However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather
than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort.

In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should
be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag.

Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

e1d4398c0a Fix incorrect handling of join clauses pushed into parameterized paths.
In some cases a clause attached to an outer join can be pushed down into
the outer join's RHS even though the clause is not degenerate --- this
can happen if we choose to make a parameterized path for the RHS.  If
the clause ends up attached to a lower outer join, we'd misclassify it
as being a "join filter" not a plain "filter" condition at that node,
leading to wrong query results.

To fix, teach extract_actual_join_clauses to examine each join clause's
required_relids, not just its is_pushed_down flag.  (The latter now
seems vestigial, or at least in need of rethinking, but we won't do
anything so invasive as redefining it in a bug-fix patch.)

This has been wrong since we introduced parameterized paths in 9.2,
though it's evidently hard to hit given the lack of previous reports.
The test case used here involves a lateral function call, and I think
that a lateral reference may be required to get the planner to select
a broken plan; though I wouldn't swear to that.  In any case, even if
LATERAL is needed to trigger the bug, it still affects all supported
branches, so back-patch to all.

Per report from Andreas Karlsson.  Thanks to Andrew Gierth for

any excess bytes in one string or the other by assuming the longer
string is greater if the prefixes are equal.  Quite aside from the
fact that that's just wrong in some locales (e.g., 'ch' is not less
than 'd' in cs_CZ), it also risked passing incomplete multibyte
characters to strcoll(), with ensuing bad results.

Instead, just pass the full strings to varstr_cmp, and let it decide
what to do about unequal-length strings.

Fortunately, this error doesn't imply any index corruption, it's just
that searches might return the wrong set of entries.

Per report from Emre Hasegeli, though this is not his patch.
Thanks to Peter Geoghegan for review and discussion.

This code was born broken, so back-patch to all supported branches.
In HEAD, I failed to resist the temptation to do a bit of cosmetic
cleanup/pgindent'ing on 710d90da1, too.

9ed1c8ca25 Fix potentially-unportable code in contrib/adminpack.
Spelling access(2)'s second argument as "2" is just horrid.
POSIX makes no promises as to the numeric values of W_OK and related
macros.  Even if it accidentally works as intended on every supported
platform, it's still unreadable and inconsistent with adjacent code.

In passing, don't spell "NULL" as "0" either.  Yes, that's legal C;
no, it's not project style.

Back-patch, just in case the unportability is real and not theoretical.
(Most likely, even if a platform had different bit assignments for
access()'s modes, there'd not be an observable behavior difference
here; but I'm being paranoid today.)

bbec33c2d0 In libpq, free any partial query result before collecting a server error.
We'd throw away the partial result anyway after parsing the error message.
Throwing it away beforehand costs nothing and reduces the risk of
out-of-memory failure.  Also, at least in systems that behave like
glibc/Linux, if the partial result was very large then the error PGresult
would get allocated at high heap addresses, preventing the heap storage
used by the partial result from being released to the OS until the error
PGresult is freed.

In psql >= 9.6, we hold onto the error PGresult until another error is
received (for \errverbose), so that this behavior causes a seeming
memory leak to persist for awhile, as in a recent complaint from
Darafei Praliaskouski.  This is a potential performance regression from
older versions, justifying back-patching at least that far.  But similar
behavior may occur in other client applications, so it seems worth just
back-patching to all supported branches.

ac8ea0f27f Fix bogus affix-merging code.
NISortAffixes() compared successive compound affixes incorrectly,
thus possibly failing to merge identical affixes, or (less likely)
merging ones that shouldn't be merged.  The user-visible effects
of this are unclear, to me anyway.

Per bug #15150 from Alexander Lakhin.  It's been broken for a long time,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

66d4b6bb80 Ignore nextOid when replaying an ONLINE checkpoint.
The nextOid value is from the start of the checkpoint and may well be stale
compared to values from more recent XLOG_NEXTOID records.  Previously, we
adopted it anyway, allowing the OID counter to go backwards during a crash.
While this should be harmless, it contributed to the severity of the bug
fixed in commit 0408e1ed5, by allowing duplicate TOAST OIDs to be assigned
immediately following a crash.  Without this error, that issue would only
have arisen when TOAST objects just younger than a multiple of 2^32 OIDs
were deleted and then not vacuumed in time to avoid a conflict.

7448e7e237 Do not select new object OIDs that match recently-dead entries.
When selecting a new OID, we take care to avoid picking one that's already
in use in the target table, so as not to create duplicates after the OID
counter has wrapped around.  However, up to now we used SnapshotDirty when
scanning for pre-existing entries.  That ignores committed-dead rows, so
that we could select an OID matching a deleted-but-not-yet-vacuumed row.
While that mostly worked, it has two problems:

* If recently deleted, the dead row might still be visible to MVCC
snapshots, creating a risk for duplicate OIDs when examining the catalogs
within our own transaction.  Such duplication couldn't be visible outside
the object-creating transaction, though, and we've heard few if any field
reports corresponding to such a symptom.

* When selecting a TOAST OID, deleted toast rows definitely *are* visible
to SnapshotToast, and will remain so until vacuumed away.  This leads to
a conflict that will manifest in errors like "unexpected chunk number 0
(expected 1) for toast value nnnnn".  We've been seeing reports of such
errors from the field for years, but the cause was unclear before.

The fix is simple: just use SnapshotAny to search for conflicting rows.
This results in a slightly longer window before object OIDs can be
recycled, but that seems unlikely to create any large problems.

dfc383cf39 Make local copy of client hostnames in backend status array.
The other strings, application_name and query string, were snapshotted to
local memory in pgstat_read_current_status(), but we forgot to do that for
client hostnames. As a result, the client hostname would appear to change in
the local copy, if the client disconnected.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

for both cases, per suggestion from Jonathan Katz.
