77a22f898e Fix bogus tree-flattening logic in QTNTernary().
QTNTernary() contains logic to flatten, eg, '(a & b) & c' into 'a & b & c',
which is all well and good, but it tries to do that to NOT nodes as well,
so that '!!a' gets changed to '!a'.  Explicitly restrict the conversion to
be done only on AND and OR nodes, and add a test case illustrating the bug.

In passing, provide some comments for the sadly naked functions in
tsquery_util.c, and simplify some baroque logic in QTNFree(), which
I think may have been leaking some items it intended to free.

Noted while investigating a complaint from Andreas Seltenreich.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

92929a3e37 Fix possible pg_basebackup failure on standby with "include WAL".
If a restartpoint flushed no dirty buffers, it could fail to update
the minimum recovery point, leading to a minimum recovery point prior
to the starting REDO location.  perform_base_backup() would interpret
that as meaning that no WAL files at all needed to be included in the
backup, failing an internal sanity check.  To fix, have restartpoints
always update the minimum recovery point to just after the checkpoint
record itself, so that the file (or files) containing the checkpoint
record will always be included in the backup.

Code by Amit Kapila, per a design suggestion by me, with some
additional work on the code comment by me.  Test case by Michael
Paquier.  Report by Kyotaro Horiguchi.

44c56d3b1c Fix not-HAVE_SYMLINK code in zic.c.
I broke this in commit f3094920a.  Apparently it's dead code anyway,
at least as far as our buildfarm is concerned (and the upstream IANA
code doesn't worry at all about symlink() not being present).
But as long as the rest of our code is willing to guard against not
having symlink(), this should too.  Noted while investigating a
tangentially-related complaint from Sandeep Thakkar.

676c603755 Avoid testing tuple visibility without buffer lock in RI_FKey_check().
Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit 7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do
this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf
to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we
have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits.

The added regression test exercises one such corner case.  Unpatched, it
causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would
cause a hint bit change in a buffer we don't hold lock on, which given
the right race condition could result in checksum failures or other data
consistency problems.  The odds of a problem in the field are probably
pretty small, but nonetheless back-patch to all supported branches.

edb5143063 Fix EXPLAIN so that it doesn't emit invalid XML in corner cases.
With track_io_timing = on, EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) will emit fields
named like "I/O Read Time".  The slash makes that invalid as an XML
element name, so that adding FORMAT XML would produce invalid XML.

We already have code in there to translate spaces to dashes, so let's
generalize that to convert anything that isn't a valid XML name character,
viz letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, and periods.  We could just
reject slashes, which would run a bit faster.  But the fact that this went
unnoticed for so long doesn't give me a warm feeling that we'd notice the
next creative violation, so let's make it a permanent fix.

Reported by Markus Winand, though this isn't his initial patch proposal.

Back-patch to 9.2 where track_io_timing was added.  The problem is only
latent in 9.1, so I don't feel a need to fix it there.

DST law changes in Turkey.  Historical corrections for America/Los_Angeles,

Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link.

The IANA crew continue their campaign to replace invented time zone
abbrevations with numeric GMT offsets.  This update changes numerous zones
in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, for instance Antarctica/Casey
now reports "+08" not "AWST" in the pg_timezone_names view.  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 today is not that day.)

An exception is that since IANA no longer claims that "AMT" is in use
in Armenia for GMT+4, I replaced it in the Default file with GMT-4,
corresponding to Amazon Time which is in use in South America.  It may be
that that meaning is also invented and IANA will drop it in a future
update; but for now, it seems silly to give pride of place to a meaning
not traceable to IANA over one that is.

1c02ee314b Fix WAL-logging of FSM and VM truncation.
When a relation is truncated, it is important that the FSM is truncated as
well. Otherwise, after recovery, the FSM can return a page that has been
truncated away, leading to errors like:

ERROR:  could not read block 28991 in file "base/16390/572026": read only 0
of 8192 bytes

We were using MarkBufferDirtyHint() to dirty the buffer holding the last
remaining page of the FSM, but during recovery, that might in fact not
dirty the page, and the FSM update might be lost.

To fix, use the stronger MarkBufferDirty() function. MarkBufferDirty()
requires us to do WAL-logging ourselves, to protect from a torn page, if
checksumming is enabled.

Also fix an oversight in visibilitymap_truncate: it also needs to WAL-log
when checksumming is enabled.

ff5ef6add4 Fix cidin() to handle values above 2^31 platform-independently.
CommandId is declared as uint32, and values up to 4G are indeed legal.
cidout() handles them properly by treating the value as unsigned int.
But cidin() was just using atoi(), which has platform-dependent behavior
for values outside the range of signed int, as reported by Bart Lengkeek
in bug #14379.  Use strtoul() instead, as xidin() does.

In passing, make some purely cosmetic changes to make xidin/xidout
look more like cidin/cidout; the former didn't have a monopoly on
best practice IMO.

Neither xidin nor cidin make any attempt to throw error for invalid input.
I didn't change that here, and am not sure it's worth worrying about
since neither is really a user-facing type.  The point is just to ensure
that indubitably-valid inputs work as expected.

It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

be680535e9 Fix assorted integer-overflow hazards in varbit.c.
bitshiftright() and bitshiftleft() would recursively call each other
infinitely if the user passed INT_MIN for the shift amount, due to integer
overflow in negating the shift amount.  To fix, clamp to -VARBITMAXLEN.
That doesn't change the results since any shift distance larger than the
input bit string's length produces an all-zeroes result.

Also fix some places that seemed inadequately paranoid about input typmods
exceeding VARBITMAXLEN.  While a typmod accepted by anybit_typmodin() will
certainly be much less than that, at least some of these spots are
reachable with user-chosen integer values.

f0bf0f233c Fix another bug in merging of inherited CHECK constraints.
It's not good for an inherited child constraint to be marked connoinherit;
that would result in the constraint not propagating to grandchild tables,
if any are created later.  The code mostly prevented this from happening
but there was one case that was missed.

This is somewhat related to commit e55a946a8, which also tightened checks
on constraint merging.  Hence, back-patch to 9.2 like that one.  This isn't
so much because there's a concrete feature-related reason to stop there,
as to avoid having more distinct behaviors than we have to in this area.

56a047f46a Fix two bugs in merging of inherited CHECK constraints.
Historically, we've allowed users to add a CHECK constraint to a child
table and then add an identical CHECK constraint to the parent.  This
results in "merging" the two constraints so that the pre-existing
child constraint ends up with both conislocal = true and coninhcount > 0.
However, if you tried to do it in the other order, you got a duplicate
constraint error.  This is problematic for pg_dump, which needs to issue
separated ADD CONSTRAINT commands in some cases, but has no good way to
ensure that the constraints will be added in the required order.
And it's more than a bit arbitrary, too.  The goal of complaining about
duplicated ADD CONSTRAINT commands can be served if we reject the case of
adding a constraint when the existing one already has conislocal = true;
but if it has conislocal = false, let's just make the ADD CONSTRAINT set
conislocal = true.  In this way, either order of adding the constraints
has the same end result.

Another problem was that the code allowed creation of a parent constraint
marked convalidated that is merged with a child constraint that is
!convalidated.  In this case, an inheritance scan of the parent table could
emit some rows violating the constraint condition, which would be an
unexpected result given the marking of the parent constraint as validated.
Hence, forbid merging of constraints in this case.  (Note: valid child and
not-valid parent seems fine, so continue to allow that.)

Per report from Benedikt Grundmann.  Back-patch to 9.2 where we introduced
possibly-not-valid check constraints.  The second bug obviously doesn't
apply before that, and I think the first doesn't either, because pg_dump
only gets into this situation when dealing with not-valid constraints.

b5afc6f678 Clear OpenSSL error queue after failed X509_STORE_load_locations() call.
Leaving the error in the error queue used to be harmless, because the
X509_STORE_load_locations() call used to be the last step in
initialize_SSL(), and we would clear the queue before the next
SSL_connect() call. But previous commit moved things around. The symptom
was that if a CRL file was not found, and one of the subsequent
initialization steps, like loading the client certificate or private key,
failed, we would incorrectly print the "no such file" error message from
the earlier X509_STORE_load_locations() call as the reason.

fde92dc226 Don't share SSL_CTX between libpq connections.
There were several issues with the old coding:

1. There was a race condition, if two threads opened a connection at the
   same time. We used a mutex around SSL_CTX_* calls, but that was not
   enough, e.g. if one thread SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() with one
   path, and another thread set it with a different path, before the first
   thread got to establish the connection.

2. Opening two different connections, with different sslrootcert settings,
   seemed to fail outright with "SSL error: block type is not 01". Not sure
   why.

3. We created the SSL object, before calling SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations
   and SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file on the SSL context. That was
   wrong, because the options set on the SSL context are propagated to the
   SSL object, when the SSL object is created. If they are set after the
   SSL object has already been created, they won't take effect until the
   next connection. (This is bug #14329)

At least some of these could've been fixed while still using a shared
context, but it would've been more complicated and error-prone. To keep
things simple, let's just use a separate SSL context for each connection,
and accept the overhead.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

2bf7754032 Do ClosePostmasterPorts() earlier in SubPostmasterMain().
In standard Unix builds, postmaster child processes do ClosePostmasterPorts
immediately after InitPostmasterChild, that is almost immediately after
being spawned.  This is important because we don't want children holding
open the postmaster's end of the postmaster death watch pipe.

However, in EXEC_BACKEND builds, SubPostmasterMain was postponing this
responsibility significantly, in order to make it slightly more convenient
to pass the right flag value to ClosePostmasterPorts.  This is bad,
particularly seeing that process_shared_preload_libraries() might invoke
nearly-arbitrary code.  Rearrange so that we do it as soon as we've
fetched the socket FDs via read_backend_variables().

Also move the comment explaining about randomize_va_space to before the
call of PGSharedMemoryReAttach, which is where it's relevant.  The old
placement was appropriate when the reattach happened inside
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores, but that was a long time ago.

Back-patch to 9.3; the patch doesn't apply cleanly before that, and
it doesn't seem worth a lot of effort given that we've had no actual

73df86a37b Be sure to rewind the tuplestore read pointer in non-leader CTEScan nodes.
ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra
tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.
However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the
tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as
cloning the current position of read pointer 0.  In normal situations
that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once,
before anything gets read.  But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as
illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov.  To fix, just forcibly rewind
the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.  The cost of doing so is
negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which
wouldn't happen in normal cases.  We could consider altering tuplestore's
API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive
back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it.

This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

Some experimentation with an older version of gcc showed that it is able
to determine whether "if (elevel_ >= ERROR)" is compile-time constant
if elevel_ is declared "const", but otherwise not so much.  We had
accounted for that in ereport() but were too miserly with braces to
make it so in elog().  I don't know how many currently-interesting
compilers have the same quirk, but in case it will save some code
space, let's make sure that elog() is on the same footing as ereport()
for this purpose.

dfe7121dfb Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transaction
When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to
also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that
was subsequently rolled back.  This is pointless, since for all intents
and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes
misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti
Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return
the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash.

Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success
immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction.

The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple
chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem
as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn
propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code
(ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer.

Backpatch to 9.3.  Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible
failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple
skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same
transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior.
Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios
involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in
the old branches too.

d2a5b2b28f Fix mdtruncate() to close fd.c handle of deleted segments.
mdtruncate() forgot to FileClose() a segment's mdfd_vfd, when deleting
it. That lead to a fd.c handle to a truncated file being kept open until
backend exit.

The issue appears to have been introduced way back in 1a5c450f30,
before that the handle was closed inside FileUnlink().

The impact of this bug is limited - only VACUUM and ON COMMIT TRUNCATE
for temporary tables, truncate files in place (i.e. TRUNCATE itself is
not affected), and the relation has to be bigger than 1GB. The
consequences of a leaked fd.c handle aren't severe either.

cfa193d981 Add regression test coverage for non-default timezone abbreviation sets.
After further reflection about the mess cleaned up in commit 39b691f25,
I decided the main bit of test coverage that was still missing was to
check that the non-default abbreviation-set files we supply are usable.
Add that.

Back-patch to supported branches, just because it seems like a good
idea to keep this all in sync.

891ed9317d Remove vestigial references to "zic" in favor of "IANA database".
Commit b2cbced9e instituted a policy of referring to the timezone database
as the "IANA timezone database" in our user-facing documentation.
Propagate that wording into a couple of places that were still using "zic"
to refer to the database, which is definitely not right (zic is the
compilation tool, not the data).

Back-patch, not because this is very important in itself, but because
we routinely cherry-pick updates to the tznames files and I don't want
to risk future merge failures.

ee78d48853 Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.
Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not
match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry.
That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out
that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that
Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth.  Their current policy is to
remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets.  Perhaps
unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning
over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made
them into dynamic abbreviations.  So with newer IANA database versions
that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug
#14307 from Neil Anderson.  It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild
abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops
working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the
whole view result in one call).

We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but
the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA
changes.  Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any
"orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone.
It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any
longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong"
abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely.  (Also,
this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is
that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time
zone name.)

Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all
of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

baf111d31b Prevent starting a standalone backend with standby_mode on.
This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more
WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL
receiver process to fetch it.  Moreover, if standby_mode is on then
hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness
because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel.
Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid
got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems
best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in
readRecoveryCommandFile().

5833306dd6 Fix pg_xlogdump so that it handles cross-page XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD record.
Previously pg_xlogdump failed to dump the contents of the WAL file
if the file starts with the continuation WAL record which spans
more than one pages. Since pg_xlogdump assumed that the continuation
record always fits on a page, it could not find the valid WAL record to
start reading from in that case.

This patch changes pg_xlogdump so that it can handle a continuation
WAL record which crosses a page boundary and find the valid record
to start reading from.

Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced.

68bd9f795d Fix instability in parallel regression tests.
Commit f0c7b789a added a test case in case.sql that creates and then drops
both an '=' operator and the type it's for.  Given the right timing, that
can cause a "cache lookup failed for type" failure in concurrent sessions,
which see the '=' operator as a potential match for '=' in a query, but
then the type is gone by the time they inquire into its properties.
It might be nice to make that behavior more robust someday, but as a
back-patchable solution, adjust the new test case so that the operator
is never visible to other sessions.  Like the previous commit, back-patch
to all supported branches.
