243de06be9 Fix failure to reset libpq's state fully between connection attempts.
The logic in PQconnectPoll() did not take care to ensure that all of
a PGconn's internal state variables were reset before trying a new
connection attempt.  If we got far enough in the connection sequence
to have changed any of these variables, and then decided to try a new
server address or server name, the new connection might be completed
with some state that really only applied to the failed connection.

While this has assorted bad consequences, the only one that is clearly
a security issue is that password_needed didn't get reset, so that
if the first server asked for a password and the second didn't,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() would return an incorrect result.  This
could be leveraged by unprivileged users of dblink or postgres_fdw
to allow them to use server-side login credentials that they should
not be able to use.

Other notable problems include the possibility of forcing a v2-protocol
connection to a server capable of supporting v3, or overriding
"sslmode=prefer" to cause a non-encrypted connection to a server that
would have accepted an encrypted one.  Those are certainly bugs but
it's harder to paint them as security problems in themselves.  However,
forcing a v2-protocol connection could result in libpq having a wrong
idea of the server's standard_conforming_strings setting, which opens
the door to SQL-injection attacks.  The extent to which that's actually
a problem, given the prerequisite that the attacker needs control of
the client's connection parameters, is unclear.

These problems have existed for a long time, but became more easily
exploitable in v10, both because it introduced easy ways to force libpq
to abandon a connection attempt at a late stage and then try another one
(rather than just giving up), and because it provided an easy way to
specify multiple target hosts.

Fix by rearranging PQconnectPoll's state machine to provide centralized
places to reset state properly when moving to a new target host or when
dropping and retrying a connection to the same host.

for finding and reporting the problem.

0229e087df Add table relcache invalidation to index builds.
It's necessary to make sure that owning tables have a relcache
invalidation prior to advancing the command counter to make
newly-entered catalog tuples for the index visible.  inval.c must be
able to maintain the consistency of the local caches in the event of
transaction abort.  There is usually only a problem when CREATE INDEX
transactions abort, since there is a generic invalidation once we reach
index_update_stats().

This bug is of long standing.  Problems were made much more likely by
the addition of parallel CREATE INDEX (commit 9da0cc3528), but it is
strongly suspected that similar problems can be triggered without
involving plan_create_index_workers().  (plan_create_index_workers()
triggers a relcache build or rebuild, which previously only happened in
rare edge cases.)

461e2e433b Further fixes for quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.
Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load.
We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they
appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns.  However, although that
quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two
critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which
variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid
too.  So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list
entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks
truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists
of pathnames.

To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation,
and then emit each element as a SQL string literal.

This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the
comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth
one in dumputils.c.  (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those
splitting logic in libpq...)  I looked at unifying these, but it would
be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of
SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both.  That might be
worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched
bug fix, so for now accept the duplication.

Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

b782b7c57f Further portability hacking in pg_upgrade's test script.
I blew the dust off a Bourne shell (file date 1996, yea verily) and
tried to run test.sh with it.  It mostly worked, but I found that the
temp-directory creation code introduced by commit be76a6d39 was not
compatible, for a couple of reasons: this shell thinks "set -e" should
force an exit if a command within backticks fails, and it also thinks code
within braces should be executed by a sub-shell, meaning that variable
settings don't propagate back up to the parent shell.  In view of Victor
Wagner's report that Solaris is still using pre-POSIX shells, seems like
we oughta make this case work.  It's not like the code is any less
idiomatic this way; the prior coding technique appeared nowhere else.

(There is a remaining bash-ism here, which is that $RANDOM doesn't do
what the code hopes in non-bash shells.  But the use of $$ elsewhere in
that path should be enough to ensure uniqueness and some amount of
randomness, so I think it's okay as-is.)

0cf3363c01 Fix inadequate buffer locking in FSM and VM page re-initialization.
When reading an existing FSM or VM page that was found to be corrupt by the
buffer manager, the code applied PageInit() to reinitialize the page, but
did so without any locking.  There is thus a hazard that two backends might
concurrently do PageInit, which in itself would still be OK, but the slower
one might then zero over subsequent data changes applied by the faster one.
Even that is unlikely to be fatal; but it's not desirable, so add locking
to prevent it.

This does not add any locking overhead in the normal code path where the
page is OK.  It's not immediately obvious that that's safe, but I believe
it is, for reasons explained in the added comments.

Problem noted by R P Asim.  It's been like this for a long time, so

e8fe3bb230 Avoid emitting a bogus WAL record when recycling an all-zero btree page.
Commit fafa374f2 caused _bt_getbuf() to possibly emit a WAL record for
a page that it was about to recycle.  However, it failed to distinguish
all-zero pages from dead pages, which is important because only the
latter have valid btpo.xact values, or indeed any special space at all.
Recycling an all-zero page with XLogStandbyInfoActive() enabled therefore
led to an Assert failure, or to emission of a WAL record containing a
bogus cutoff XID, which might lead to unnecessary query cancellations
on hot standby servers.

Per reports from Antonin Houska and 自己.  Amit Kapila was first to
propose this fix, and Robert Haas, myself, and Kyotaro Horiguchi
reviewed it at various times.

This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.

f6f75539d2 Prevent accidental linking of system-supplied copies of libpq.so etc.
Back-patch commit dddfc4cb2, which broke LDFLAGS and related Makefile
variables into two parts, one for within-build-tree library references and
one for external libraries, to ensure that the order of -L flags has all
of the former before all of the latter.  This turns out to fix a problem
recently noted on buildfarm member peripatus, that we attempted to
incorporate code from libpgport.a into a shared library.  That will fail on
platforms that are sticky about putting non-PIC code into shared libraries.
(It's quite surprising we hadn't seen such failures before, since the code
in question has been like that for a long time.)

I think that peripatus' problem could have been fixed with just a subset
of this patch; but since the previous issue of accidentally linking to the
wrong copy of a Postgres shlib seems likely to bite people in the field,
let's just back-patch the whole change.  Now that commit dddfc4cb2 has
survived some beta testing, I'm less afraid to back-patch it than I was
at the time.

This also fixes undesired inclusion of "-DFRONTEND" in pg_config's CPPFLAGS
output (in 9.6 and up) and undesired inclusion of "-L../../src/common" in
its LDFLAGS output (in all supported branches).

Back-patch to v10 and older branches; this is already in v11.

56535dcdc9 Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotion
If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first
post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks
the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be
set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while
all the WAL available should be replayed.  This leads to the instance
thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard
instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for
certain sets of records replayed.  When in crash recovery,
minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr,
which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this
commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the
control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash
recovery is performed.  Once switching to archive recovery or if crash
recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely
updated.

Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first
place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of
minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded
into a full-fledged patch by me.  The test included in this commit has
been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified
to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases.

Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3
which is where the end-of-recovery checkpoint is not run by the startup
process anymore.  The test gets easily supported down to 10, still it
has been tested on all branches.

7ffe0127e5 Improve the performance of relation deletes during recovery.
When multiple relations are deleted at the same transaction,
the files of those relations are deleted by one call to smgrdounlinkall(),
which leads to scan whole shared_buffers only one time. OTOH,
previously, during recovery, smgrdounlink() (not smgrdounlinkall()) was
called for each file to delete, which led to scan shared_buffers
multiple times. Obviously this could cause to increase the WAL replay
time very much especially when shared_buffers was huge.

To alleviate this situation, this commit changes the recovery so that
it also calls smgrdounlinkall() only one time to delete multiple
relation files.

This is just fix for oversight of commit 279628a0a7, not new feature.
So, per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we concluded to backpatch this
to all supported versions.

f53ed82b7f Address set of issues with errno handling
System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set.  Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is
reported to the user to be incorrect.

This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code
paths.  Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as
future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

9b9b622b2a Fix bugs in vacuum of shared rels, by keeping their relcache entries current.
When vacuum processes a relation it uses the corresponding relcache
entry's relfrozenxid / relminmxid as a cutoff for when to remove
tuples etc. Unfortunately for nailed relations (i.e. critical system
catalogs) bugs could frequently lead to the corresponding relcache
entry being stale.

This set of bugs could cause actual data corruption as vacuum would
potentially not remove the correct row versions, potentially reviving
them at a later point.  After 699bf7d05c some corruptions in this vein
were prevented, but the additional error checks could also trigger
spuriously. Examples of such errors are:
  ERROR: found xmin ... from before relfrozenxid ...
and
  ERROR: found multixact ... from before relminmxid ...
To be caused by this bug the errors have to occur on system catalog
tables.

The two bugs are:

1) Invalidations for nailed relations were ignored, based on the
   theory that the relcache entry for such tables doesn't
   change. Which is largely true, except for fields like relfrozenxid
   etc.  This means that changes to relations vacuumed in other
   sessions weren't picked up by already existing sessions.  Luckily
   autovacuum doesn't have particularly longrunning sessions.

2) For shared *and* nailed relations, the shared relcache init file
   was never invalidated while running.  That means that for such
   tables (e.g. pg_authid, pg_database) it's not just already existing
   sessions that are affected, but even new connections are as well.
   That explains why the reports usually were about pg_authid et. al.

To fix 1), revalidate the rd_rel portion of a relcache entry when
invalid. This implies a bit of extra complexity to deal with
bootstrapping, but it's not too bad.  The fix for 2) is simpler,
simply always remove both the shared and local init files.

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.

Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken from the start.

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.
