Due to oversights, the encrypt_iv() and decrypt_iv() functions failed to
report certain types of invalid-input errors, and would instead return
random garbage values.
Marko Kreen, per report from Stefan Kaltenbrunner
have pg_upgrade allocate a maximum fixed size buffer for testing the
library file name, rather than base the allocation on the library name.
Backpatch to 9.1.
The original coding examined the next character before verifying that
there *is* a next character. In the worst case with the input buffer
right up against the end of memory, this would result in a segfault.
Problem spotted by Paul Guyot; this commit extends his patch to fix an
additional case. In addition, make the code a tad more readable by not
overloading the usage of *tlen.
If the existing citext type has not merely been created, but used in any
tables, then the upgrade script wasn't doing enough. We have to update
attcollation for each citext table column, and indcollation for each citext
index column, as well. Per report from Rudolf van der Leeden.
Make it use t_isspace() to identify whitespace, rather than relying on
sscanf which is known to get it wrong on some platform/locale combinations.
Get rid of fixed-size buffers. Make it actually continue to parse the file
after ignoring a line with untranslatable characters, as was obviously
intended.
The first of these issues is per gripe from J Smith, though not exactly
either of his proposed patches.
Both dict_int and dict_xsyn were blithely assuming that whatever memory
palloc gives back will be pre-zeroed. This would typically work for
just about long enough to run their regression tests, and no longer :-(.
The pre-9.0 code in dict_xsyn was even lamer than that, as it would
happily give back a pointer to the result of palloc(0), encouraging
its caller to access off the end of memory. Again, this would just
barely fail to fail as long as memory contained nothing but zeroes.
Per a report from Rodrigo Hjort that code based on these examples
didn't work reliably.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
A similar problem for pgstattuple() was fixed in April of 2010 by commit
33065ef8bc, but pgstatindex() seems to have
been overlooked.
Back-patch all the way, as with that commit, though not to 7.4 through
8.1, since those are now EOL.
There's no reason for this test to use the undocumented pg_prepared_xact()
function, when it can use the stable API pg_prepared_xacts instead.
Fixes breakage against 8.3, as reported by Justin Arnold.
For an empty index, the pgstatindex() function would compute 0.0/0.0 for
its avg_leaf_density and leaf_fragmentation outputs. On machines that
follow the IEEE float arithmetic standard with any care, that results in
a NaN. However, per report from Rushabh Lathia, Microsoft couldn't
manage to get this right, so you'd get a bizarre error on Windows.
Fix by forcing the results to be NaN explicitly, rather than relying on
the division operator to give that or the snprintf function to print it
correctly. I have some doubts that this is really the most useful
definition, but it seems better to remain backward-compatible with
those platforms for which the behavior wasn't completely broken.
Back-patch to 8.2, since the code is like that in all current releases.
The previous coding resulted in contrib modules unintentionally overriding
the use of CONTRIB_TESTDB. There seems no particularly good reason to
allow that (after all, the makefile can set CONTRIB_TESTDB if that's really
what it intends).
In passing, document REGRESS_OPTS where the other pgxs.mk options are
documented.
Back-patch to 9.1 --- in prior versions, there were no cases of contrib
modules setting REGRESS_OPTS without including the --dbname switch, so
while the coding was fragile there was no actual bug.
We'll have to settle for just listing the extensions' data types,
since function arguments seem to sort differently in different locales.
Per buildfarm results.
When we implemented extensions, we made findDependentObjects() treat
EXTENSION dependency links similarly to INTERNAL links. However, that
logic contained an implicit assumption that an object could have at most
one INTERNAL dependency, so it did not work correctly for objects having
both INTERNAL and DEPENDENCY links. This led to failure to drop some
extension member objects when dropping the extension. Furthermore, we'd
never actually exercised the case of recursing to an internally-referenced
(owning) object from anything other than a NORMAL dependency, and it turns
out that passing the incoming dependency's flags to the owning object is
the Wrong Thing. This led to sometimes dropping a whole extension silently
when we should have rejected the drop command for lack of CASCADE.
Since we obviously were under-testing extension drop scenarios, add some
regression test cases. Unfortunately, such test cases require some
extensions (duh), so we can't test for problems in the core regression
tests. I chose to add them to the earthdistance contrib module, which is
a good test case because it has a dependency on the cube contrib module.
Back-patch to 9.1. Arguably these are pre-existing bugs in INTERNAL
dependency handling, but since it appears that the cases can never arise
pre-9.1, I'll refrain from back-patching the logic changes further than
that.
contrib/xml2 can get by without libxslt; the relevant features just
won't work. But if doesn't have libxml2, or if sepgsql doesn't have
libselinux, the link succeeds but the module then fails to work at load
time. To avoid that, link the require libraries unconditionally, so
that it will be clear at link-time that there is a problem.
Per discussion with Tom Lane and KaiGai Kohei.
There may be some other places where we should use errdetail_internal,
but they'll have to be evaluated case-by-case. This commit just hits
a bunch of places where invoking gettext is obviously a waste of cycles.
This was already a runtime failure condition, but it's better to check
at validation time if possible. Lightly modified version of a patch
by Shigeru Hanada.
Certain subdirectories do not get built if corresponding options are not
selected at configure time. However, "make distprep" should visit such
directories anyway, so that constructing derived files to be included in
the tarball happens without requiring all configure options to be given
in the tarball build script. Likewise, it's better if cleanup actions
unconditionally visit all directories (for example, this ensures proper
cleanup if someone has done a manual make in such a subdirectory).
To handle this, set up a convention that subdirectories that are
conditionally included in SUBDIRS should be added to ALWAYS_SUBDIRS
instead when they are excluded.
Back-patch to 9.1, so that plpython's spiexceptions.h will get provided
in 9.1 tarballs. There don't appear to be any instances where distprep
actions got missed in previous releases, and anyway this fix requires
gmake 3.80 so we don't want to apply it before 9.1.
A password containing a character with the high bit set was misprocessed
on machines where char is signed (which is most). This could cause the
preceding one to three characters to fail to affect the hashed result,
thus weakening the password. The result was also unportable, and failed
to match some other blowfish implementations such as OpenBSD's.
Since the fix changes the output for such passwords, upstream chose
to provide a compatibility hack: password salts beginning with $2x$
(instead of the usual $2a$ for blowfish) are intentionally processed
"wrong" to give the same hash as before. Stored password hashes can
thus be modified if necessary to still match, though it'd be better
to change any affected passwords.
In passing, sync a couple other upstream changes that marginally improve
performance and/or tighten error checking.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since this issue is already
public, no reason not to commit the fix ASAP.
This is an ugly hack to get around the fact that significant parts of the
core backend assume they don't need to worry about passing collation to
equality and hashing functions. That's true for the core string datatypes,
but citext should ideally have equality behavior that depends on the
specified collation's LC_CTYPE. However, there's no chance of fixing the
core before 9.2, so we'll have to live with this compromise arrangement for
now. Per bug #6053 from Regina Obe.
The code changes in this commit should be reverted in full once the core
code is up to speed, but be careful about reverting the docs changes:
I fixed a number of obsolete statements while at it.
For consistency, have all non-ASCII characters from contributors'
names in the source be in UTF-8. But remove some other more
gratuitous uses of non-ASCII characters.
