Commit c8ea87e4b introduced a temporary conversion buffer for
substrings extracted during regexp splits. Unfortunately the code that
sized it was failing to ignore the effects of ignored degenerate
regexp matches, so for regexp_split_* calls it could under-size the
buffer in such cases.
Fix, and add some regression test cases (though those will only catch
the bug if run in a multibyte encoding).
Backpatch to 9.3 as the faulty code was.
Thanks to the PostGIS project, Regina Obe and Paul Ramsey for the

When we removed the ecpg-specific versions, we also removed the

The following parameters have been parsed in lossy ways when specified
in a connection string processed by libpq:
- connect_timeout
- keepalives
- keepalives_count
- keepalives_idle
- keepalives_interval
- port
Overflowing values or the presence of incorrect characters were not
properly checked, leading to libpq trying to use such values and fail
with unhelpful error messages. This commit hardens the parsing of those
parameters so as it is possible to find easily incorrect values.

Up to now, get_const_expr() insisted on prefixing BIT and VARBIT
literals with 'B'. That's not really necessary, because we always
append explicit-cast syntax to identify the constant's type.
Moreover, it's subtly wrong for VARBIT, because the parser will
interpret B'...' as '...'::"bit"; see make_const() which explicitly
assigns type BITOID for a T_BitString literal. So what had been
a simple VARBIT literal is reconstructed as ('...'::"bit")::varbit,
which is not the same thing, at least not before constant folding.
This results in odd differences after dump/restore, as complained
of by the patch submitter, and it could result in actual failures in
partitioning or inheritance DDL operations (see commit 542320c2b,
which repaired similar misbehaviors for some other data types).
Fixing it is pretty easy: just remove the special case and let the
default code path handle these types. We could have kept the special
case for BIT only, but there seems little point in that.
Like the previous patch, I judge that back-patching this into stable
branches wouldn't be a good idea. However, it seems not quite too
late for v11, so let's fix it there.

spgrescan would first reset traversalCxt, and then traverse a
potentially non-empty stack containing pointers to traversalValues
which had been allocated in those contexts, freeing them a second
time. This bug originates in commit ccd6eb49a where traversalValue was
introduced.
Repair by traversing the stack before the context reset; this isn't
ideal, since it means doing retail pfree in a context that's about to
be reset, but the freeing of a stack entry is also done in other
places in the code during the scan so it's not worth trying to
refactor it further. Regression test added.

On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared
library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend
versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend
versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is the cause
of bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans, and is likely to lead to more problems
in future; it's accidental that we've failed to notice any bad effects
up to now.
The recommended way to fix this on ELF-based platforms is to use a
linker "version script" that makes the shlib's versions of the functions
local. (Apparently, -Bsymbolic would fix it as well, but with other
side effects that we don't want.) Doing so has the additional benefit
that we can make sure the shlib only exposes the symbols that are meant
to be part of its API, and not ones that are just for cross-file
references within the shlib. So we'd already been using a version
script for libpq on popular platforms, but it's now apparent that it's
necessary for correctness on every ELF-based platform.
Hence, add appropriate logic to the openbsd, freebsd, and netbsd stanzas
of Makefile.shlib; this is just a copy-and-paste from the linux stanza.
There may be additional work to do if commit ed0cdf0e0 reveals that the
problem exists elsewhere, but this is all that is known to be needed
right now.
Back-patch to v10 where SCRAM support came in. The problem is ancient,
but analysis suggests that there were no really severe consequences
in older branches. Hence, I won't take the risk of such a large change
in the build process for older branches.
In passing, remove a rather opaque comment about -Bsymbolic; I don't
think it's very on-point about why we don't use that, if indeed that's
what it's talking about at all.
Patch by me; thanks to Andrew Gierth for helping to diagnose the problem,

to_timestamp()/to_date() functions were introduced mainly for Oracle
compatibility, and became very popular among PostgreSQL users. However, some
behavior of to_timestamp()/to_date() functions are both incompatible with Oracle
and confusing for our users. This behavior is related to handling of spaces and
separators in non FX (fixed format) mode. This commit reworks this behavior
making less confusing, better documented and more compatible with Oracle.
Nevertheless, there are still following incompatibilities with Oracle.
1) We don't insist that there are no format string patterns unmatched to
input string.
2) In FX mode we don't insist space and separators in format string to exactly
match input string.
3) When format string patterns are divided by mix of spaces and separators, we
don't distinguish them, while Oracle takes into account only last group of
spaces/separators.

On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared
library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend
versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend
versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is definitely
not what we want, because the frontend versions often behave slightly
differently. Up to now it's been "slight" enough that nobody noticed;
but with the addition of SCRAM support functions in src/common, we're
observing crashes due to the difference between palloc and malloc
memory allocation rules, as reported in bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans.
The purpose of this patch is to create a direct test for this type of
mis-linking, so that we know whether any given platform requires extra
measures to prevent using the wrong functions. If the test fails, it
will lead to connection failures in the contrib/postgres_fdw regression
test. At the moment, *BSD platforms using ELF format are known to have
the problem and can be expected to fail; but we need to know whether
anything else does, and we need a reliable ongoing check for future
platforms.
Actually fixing the problem will be the subject of later commit(s).

This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally
independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another,
perhaps without knowing that it does so.
Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects
SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output
function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve
re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards
elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users.
Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which
would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them
to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more
useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any
dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited.
Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after
saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's
possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone
contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was
the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for
an inner user. Now it's consistent.

LockRelationOid and sibling routines supposed that, if our session already
holds the lock they were asked to acquire, they could skip calling
AcceptInvalidationMessages on the grounds that we must have already read
any remote sinval messages issued against the relation being locked.
This is normally true, but there's a critical special case where it's not:
processing inside AcceptInvalidationMessages might attempt to access system
relations, resulting in a recursive call to acquire a relation lock.
Hence, if the outer call had acquired that same system catalog lock, we'd
fall through, despite the possibility that there's an as-yet-unread sinval
message for that system catalog. This could, for example, result in
failure to access a system catalog or index that had just been processed
by VACUUM FULL. This is the explanation for buildfarm failures we've been
seeing intermittently for the past three months. The bug is far older
than that, but commits a54e1f158 et al added a new recursion case within
AcceptInvalidationMessages that is apparently easier to hit than any
previous case.
To fix this, we must not skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages until
we have *finished* a call to it since acquiring a relation lock, not
merely acquired the lock. (There's already adequate logic inside
AcceptInvalidationMessages to deal with being called recursively.)
Fortunately, we can implement that at trivial cost, by adding a flag
to LOCALLOCK hashtable entries that tracks whether we know we have
completed such a call.
There is an API hazard added by this patch for external callers of
LockAcquire: if anything is testing for LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_HELD,
it might be fooled by the new return code LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_CLEAR
into thinking the lock wasn't already held. This should be a fail-soft
condition, though, unless something very bizarre is being done in
response to the test.
Also, I added an additional output argument to LockAcquireExtended,
assuming that that probably isn't called by any outside code given
the very limited usefulness of its additional functionality.

When a corrupted two-phase state file is found by WAL replay, be it for
crash recovery or archive recovery, then the file is simply skipped and
a WARNING is logged to the user, causing the transaction to be silently
lost. Facing an on-disk WAL file which is corrupted is as likely to
happen as what is stored in WAL records, but WAL records are already
able to fail hard if there is a CRC mismatch. On-disk two-phase state
files, on the contrary, are simply ignored if corrupted. Note that when
restoring the initial two-phase data state at recovery, files newer than
the horizon XID are discarded hence no files present in pg_twophase/
should be torned and have been made durable by a previous checkpoint, so
recovery should never see any corrupted two-phase state file by design.
The situation got better since 978b2f6 which has added two-phase state
information directly in WAL instead of using on-disk files, so the risk
is limited to two-phase transactions which live across at least one
checkpoint for long periods. Backups having legit two-phase state files
on-disk could also lose silently transactions when restored if things
get corrupted.
This behavior exists since two-phase commit has been introduced, no
back-patch is done for now per the lack of complaints about this
problem.

Commit be54b3777 failed on gmake 3.80 due to a chained conditional,
which on closer examination could be removed entirely with some
refactoring elsewhere for a net simplification and more robustness
against empty expansions. Along the way, add some more comments.
Also make explicit in the documentation and comments that built
headers are not removed by 'make clean', since we don't typically want
that for headers generated by a separate ./configure step, and it's
much easier to add your own 'distclean' rule or use EXTRA_CLEAN than
to try and override a deletion rule in pgxs.mk.
Per buildfarm member prariedog and comments by Michael Paquier, though
all the actual changes are my fault.
libpq connection options as returned by PQconndefaults() have a
"dispchar" field that determines (among other things) whether an option
is a "debug" option, which shouldn't be shown by default to clients.
postgres_fdw makes use of that to control which connection options to
accept from a foreign server configuration.
Curiously, the "options" option, which allows passing configuration
settings to the backend server, was listed as a debug option, which
prevented it from being used by postgres_fdw. Maybe it was once meant
for debugging, but it's clearly in general use nowadays.
So change the dispchar for it to be the normal non-debug case. Also
remove the "debug" reference from its label field.

Since the fixes for CVE-2018-1058, we've advised people to schema-qualify
function references in order to fix failures in code that executes under
a minimal search_path setting. However, that's insufficient to make the
single-argument form of unaccent() work, because it looks up the "unaccent"
text search dictionary using the search path.
The most expedient answer seems to be to remove the search_path dependency
by making it look in the same schema that the unaccent() function itself
is declared in. This will definitely work for the normal usage of this
function with the unaccent dictionary provided by the extension.
It's barely possible that there are people who were relying on the
search-path-dependent behavior to select other dictionaries with the same
name; but if there are any such people at all, they can still get that
behavior by writing unaccent('unaccent', ...), or possibly
unaccent('unaccent'::text::regdictionary, ...) if the lookup has to be
postponed to runtime.
Per complaint from Gunnlaugur Thor Briem. Back-patch to all supported

The commit 620b49a1 changed the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS with the intent
to allow many non-unique values in hash indexes without worrying to reach
the limit of the number of overflow pages. At that time, this didn't
occur to us that it can overrun the block for smaller block sizes.
Choose the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS based on BLCKSZ such that it gives
the same answer as now for the cases where the overrun doesn't occur, and
some other sufficiently-value for the cases where an overrun currently
does occur. This allows us not to change the behavior in any case that
currently works, so there's really no reason for a HASH_VERSION bump.

Commit df163230b overlooked the case that an out-of-tree extension
might need to build its header files (e.g. via ./configure). If it is
also doing a VPATH build, the HEADERS_* rules in the original commit
would then fail to find the files, since they would be looking only
under $(srcdir) and not in the build directory.
Fix by adding HEADERS_built and HEADERS_built_$(MODULE) which behave
like DATA_built in that they look in the build dir rather than the
source dir (and also make the files dependencies of the "all" target).
No Windows support appears to be needed for this, since it is only
relevant to out-of-tree builds (no support exists in Mkvcbuild.pm to
build extension header files in any case).
pg_get_object_address and pg_identify_object_as_address are supposed
to be inverses, but they disagreed as to the names of the arguments
representing the textual form of an object address. Moreover, the
documented argument names didn't agree with reality at all, either
for these functions or pg_identify_object.
In HEAD and v11, I think we can get away with renaming the input
arguments of pg_get_object_address to match the outputs of
pg_identify_object_as_address. In theory that might break queries
using named-argument notation to call pg_get_object_address, but
it seems really unlikely that anybody is doing that, or that they'd
have much trouble adjusting if they were. In older branches, we'll

In the original code, we were storing the pg_inherits row for a
partitioned table too early: enough that we had a hack for relcache to
avoid falling flat on its face while reading such a partial entry. If
we finish the pg_class creation first and *then* store the pg_inherits
entry, we don't need that hack.
Also recognize that pg_class.relpartbound is not marked NOT NULL and
therefore it's entirely possible to read null values, so having only
Assert() protection isn't enough. Change those to if/elog tests
instead. This qualifies as a robustness fix, so backpatch to pg11.

It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain
constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain.
However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed
some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index
constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel).
Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates
could be created through race conditions.
Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent
about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked
and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just
processed the first match they came to.
To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since
either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce
uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any
one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this
catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable
to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with
two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace
the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one
on contypid for query performance reasons.
Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either
coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve
lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name.
Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you
get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the
case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing
autogenerated names that would draw such a failure.
While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches,
it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

When decoding a TRUNCATE record, the relids array was being allocated in

The array was also ignored when serializing/deserializing the change,
assuming all the information is stored in the change itself. So when

the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back

This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization. The relids array
is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the
existing ones seems like a good match, and adding an extra context seems
like an overkill). The allocation is wrapped in a new ReorderBuffer API

This table claimed that JOHAB could be used as a server encoding, which
was true originally but hasn't been true since 8.3. It also lacked
entries for EUC_JIS_2004 and SHIFT_JIS_2004.
JOHAB problem noted by Lars Kanis, the others by me.

There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.
Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack
of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions.
Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

Currently there are two ways to trigger log rotation in logging collector
process: call pg_rotate_logfile() SQL-function or send SIGUSR1 signal directly
to logging collector process. However, it's nice to have more suitable way
for external tools to do that, which wouldn't require SQL connection or
knowledge of logging collector pid. This commit implements triggering log
rotation by "pg_ctl logrotate" command.

Healthy clients of servers having poor I/O performance, such as
buildfarm members hamster and tern, saw unexpected timeouts. That
disagreed with documentation. This fix adds one gettimeofday() call
whenever ProcessRepliesIfAny() finds no client reply messages.
Back-patch to 9.4; the bug's symptom is rare and mild, and the code all
moved between 9.3 and 9.4.

The previous definition was used in C++ mode, which causes problems
when using clang with libc++ (rather than libstdc++), due to bugs
therein. So just avoid in C++ mode.
A second problem is that depending on include order and implicit
includes the previous definition did not guarantee that the current
hack was effective by the time isinf was used, fix that by forcing
math.h to be included. This can cause clang using builds, or gcc
using ones with JIT enabled, to slow down noticably.
It's likely that we at some point want a better solution for the
performance problem, but while it's there it should better work.

Backpatch: 11, like the previous commit.
A cast declared WITH INOUT was described as '(binary coercible)',
which seems pretty inaccurate; let's print '(with inout)' instead.
Per complaint from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
This definitely seems like a bug fix, but given that it's been wrong
since 8.4 and nobody complained before, I'm hesitant to back-patch a
behavior change into stable branches. It doesn't seem too late for
v11 though.
