The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the
presence of some routines in an environment:
- __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex().
- __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid().
This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of
these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows.
Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using
configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of
__get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be
available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the
MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>.
The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and
one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit
reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which
has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow
both to be detected in a given build.
The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62d04 and 792752af4e where these
checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto
coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure
checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied
consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm
has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted
as well, to reflect the new reality.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define
__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to
have access to memset_s(). It appears that many platforms are lenient
about this, because we weren't doing it and yet the code appeared to
work anyway. But we now find that with -std=c11, macOS is strict and
doesn't declare memset_s, leading to compile failures since we try to
use it anyway. (Given the lack of prior reports, perhaps this is new
behavior in the latest SDK? No matter, we're clearly in the wrong.)
In addition to the immediate problem, which could be fixed merely by
adding the needed #define to explicit_bzero.c, it seems possible that
our configure-time probe for memset_s() could fail in case a platform
implements the function in some odd way due to this spec requirement.
This concern can be fixed in largely the same way that we dealt with
strchrnul() in 6da2ba1d8: switch to using a declaration-based
configure probe instead of a does-it-link probe.

As of 15.4, macOS has strchrnul(), but access to it is blocked behind
a check for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET >= 15.4. But our does-it-link
configure check finds it, so we try to use it, and fail with the
present default deployment target (namely 15.0). This accounts for
today's buildfarm failures on indri and sifaka.
This is the identical problem that we faced some years ago when Apple
introduced preadv and pwritev in the same way. We solved that in
commit f014b1b9b by using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS
to check the functions' availability. So do the same now for
strchrnul(). Interestingly, we already had a workaround for
"the link check doesn't agree with <string.h>" cases with glibc,
which we no longer need since only the header declaration is being
checked.
Testing this revealed that the meson version of this check has never
worked, because it failed to use "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new".
(Apparently nobody's tried to build with meson on macOS versions that
lack preadv/pwritev as standard.) Adjust that while at it. Also,
we had never put support for "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new"
into v13, but we need that now.

On ARM platforms where the baseline CPU target lacks CRC instructions,
we need to supply a -march flag to persuade the compiler to compile
such instructions. It turns out that our existing choice of
"-march=armv8-a+crc" has not worked for some time, because recent gcc
will interpret that as selecting software floating point, and then
will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do
nowadays. The end result was to silently fall back to software CRC,
which isn't very desirable since in practice almost all currently
produced ARM chips do have hardware CRC.
We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually
generated, since neither of the files we compile with this flag
does any floating-point stuff, let alone SIMD.) Keep the test for
"-march=armv8-a+crc" since that's required for soft-float ABI,
but try that second since most platforms we're likely to build on
use hard-float.
Since this isn't working as-intended on the last several years'
worth of gcc releases, back-patch to all supported branches.

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.)

If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc)
not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were
produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then
the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute
"+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the
target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative
aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate
calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between
LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check.
Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they
wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would
fail.
At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers
that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default.
Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly.
Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in
bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now,
because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet.
This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions
using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how
long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be
reduced to:
postgres=# set jit_inline_above_cost = 0;

Backpatch: 16-, where the meson based build was added
Presently, pg_popcount() processes data in 32-bit or 64-bit chunks
when possible. Newer hardware that supports AVX-512 instructions
can use 512-bit chunks, which provides a nice speedup, especially
for larger buffers. This commit introduces the infrastructure
required to detect compiler and CPU support for the required
AVX-512 intrinsic functions, and it adds a new pg_popcount()
implementation that uses these functions. If CPU support for this
optimized implementation is detected at runtime, a function pointer
is updated so that it is used by subsequent calls to pg_popcount().
Most of the existing in-tree calls to pg_popcount() should benefit
from these instructions, and calls with smaller buffers should at
least not regress compared to v16. The new infrastructure
introduced by this commit can also be used to optimize
visibilitymap_count(), but that is left for a follow-up commit.

Injection points are a new facility that makes possible for developers
to run custom code in pre-defined code paths. Its goal is to provide
ways to design and run advanced tests, for cases like:
- Race conditions, where processes need to do actions in a controlled
ordered manner.
- Forcing a state, like an ERROR, FATAL or even PANIC for OOM, to force
recovery, etc.
- Arbitrary sleeps.
This implements some basics, and there are plans to extend it more in
the future depending on what's required. Hence, this commit adds a set
of routines in the backend that allows developers to attach, detach and
run injection points:
- A code path calling an injection point can be declared with the macro
INJECTION_POINT(name).
- InjectionPointAttach() and InjectionPointDetach() to respectively
attach and detach a callback to/from an injection point. An injection
point name is registered in a shmem hash table with a library name and a
function name, which will be used to load the callback attached to an
injection point when its code path is run.
Injection point names are just strings, so as an injection point can be
declared and run by out-of-core extensions and modules, with callbacks
defined in external libraries.
This facility is hidden behind a dedicated switch for ./configure and
meson, disabled by default.
Note that backends use a local cache to store callbacks already loaded,
cleaning up their cache if a callback has found to be removed on a
best-effort basis. This could be refined further but any tests but what
we have here was fine with the tests I've written while implementing
these backend APIs.

For the trivial case of iovcnt == 1, kernels are measurably slower at
dealing with the more complex arguments of preadv/pwritev than the
equivalent plain old pread/pwrite. The overheads are worth it for
iovcnt > 1, but for 1 let's just redirect to the cheaper calls. While
we could leave it to callers to worry about that, we already have to
have our own pg_ wrappers for portability reasons so it seems
reasonable to centralize this knowledge there (thanks to Heikki for this
suggestion). Try to avoid function call overheads by making them
inlinable, which might also allow the compiler to avoid the branch in
some cases. For systems that don't have preadv and pwritev (currently:
Windows and [closed] Solaris), we might as well pull the replacement

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

We've long used "--strip-unneeded" for shared libraries but plain
"-x" for static libraries when stripping symbols with GNU strip.
There doesn't seem to be any really good reason for that though,
since --strip-unneeded produces smaller output (as "-x" alone
does not remove debug symbols). Moreover it seems that
llvm-strip, although it identifies as GNU strip, misbehaves when
given "-x" for this purpose. It's unclear whether that's
intentional or a bug in llvm-strip, but in any case it seems like
changing to use --strip-unneeded in all cases should be a win.
Note that this doesn't change our behavior when dealing with
non-GNU strip.
Per gripes from Ed Maste and Palle Girgensohn. Back-patch,
in case anyone wants to use llvm-strip with stable branches.

WHen building with GSSAPI support, explicitly require MIT Kerberos and
check for gssapi_ext.h in configure.ac and meson.build. Also add
documentation explicitly stating that we now require MIT Kerberos when
building with GSSAPI support.
