By default, $PGUSER has permission to unlink $PGLOG. If $PGUSER
replaces $PGLOG with a symbolic link, the server will corrupt the
link-targeted file by appending log messages. Since these scripts open
$PGLOG as root, the attack works regardless of target file ownership.
"make install" does not install these scripts anywhere. Users having
manually installed them in the past should repeat that process to
acquire this fix. Most script users have $PGLOG writable to root only,
located in $PGDATA. Just before updating one of these scripts, such
users should rename $PGLOG to $PGLOG.old. The script will then recreate
$PGLOG with proper ownership.

The new test cases added in commit 8bf58c0d9 turn out to have output
that can vary depending on the lc_messages setting prevailing on the
test server. Hide the remote end's error messages to ensure stable
output. This isn't a terribly desirable solution; we'd rather know
that the connection failed for the expected reason and not some other
one. But there seems little choice for the moment.

affect connection parameters. Teach it to watch for catcache invals
on these catalogs and re-establish connections when the relevant catalog

Backpatch-through: 9.2
We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern
wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection
without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically
indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and
returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult
object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results
in a process-lifespan memory leak.
One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because
the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails.
But we might as well fix it.
The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome
because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing
the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying
about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR),
providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult.
Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a
few other places in postgres_fdw.
Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases
by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput.

Commit f039eaac7131ef2a4cf63a10cf98486f8bcd09d2, later back-patched
with commit 1b812afb0eafe125b820cc3b95e7ca03821aa675, allowed many of
the queries issued by postgres_fdw to fetch remote data to respond to
cancel interrupts in a timely fashion. However, it didn't do anything
about the transaction control commands, which remained
noninterruptible.
Improve the situation by changing do_sql_command() to retrieve query
results using pgfdw_get_result(), which uses the asynchronous
interface to libpq so that it can check for interrupts every time
libpq returns control. Since this might result in a situation
where we can no longer be sure that the remote transaction state
matches the local transaction state, add a facility to force all
levels of the local transaction to abort if we've lost track of
the remote state; without this, an apparently-successful commit of
the local transaction might fail to commit changes made on the
remote side. Also, add a 60-second timeout for queries issue during
transaction abort; if that expires, give up and mark the state of
the connection as unknown. Drop all such connections when we exit
the local transaction. Together, these changes mean that if we're
aborting the local toplevel transaction anyway, we can just drop the
remote connection in lieu of waiting (possibly for a very long time)
for it to complete an abort.
This still leaves quite a bit of room for improvement. PQcancel()
has no asynchronous interface, so if we get stuck sending the cancel
request we'll still hang. Also, PQsetnonblocking() is not used, which
means we could block uninterruptibly when sending a query. There
might be some other optimizations possible as well. Nonetheless,
this allows us to escape a wait for an unresponsive remote server
quickly in many more cases than previously.

The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for
fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1.
We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption. Adjust
them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance.
The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK
flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument. Formally,
therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store
them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change
the nonblock state. In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup
in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird. Make
both of them do it properly, since they have little business making
any assumptions about the socket they're handed. The other places
where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from
pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all
default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there.
Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things
right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's
third argument to "long". Which is completely loony, because POSIX
clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int".
Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not
of significance on any common platforms. But they're still wrong,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Commit 9e43e8714 turns out to have been insufficient: not only is it
necessary to track tentative parent links while considering a set of
arc removals, but it's necessary to track tentative flag additions
as well. This is because we always merge arc target states into
arc source states; therefore, when considering a merge of the final
state with some other, it is the other state that will acquire a new
TSTATE_FIN bit. If there's another arc for the same color trigram
that would cause merging of that state with the initial state, we
failed to recognize the problem. The test cases for the prior commit
evidently only exercised situations where a tentative merge with the
initial state occurs before one with the final state. If it goes the
other way around, we'll happily merge the initial and final states,
either producing a broken final graph that would never match anything,
or triggering the Assert added by the prior commit.
It's tempting to consider switching the merge direction when the merge
involves the final state, but I lack the time to analyze that idea in
detail. Instead just keep track of the flag changes that would result
from proposed merges, in the same way that the prior commit tracked
proposed parent links.
Along the way, add some more debugging support, because I'm not entirely
confident that this is the last bug here. And tweak matters so that
the transformed.dot file uses small integers rather than pointer values
to identify states; that makes it more readable if you're just eyeballing
it rather than fooling with Graphviz. And rename a couple of identically
named struct fields to reduce confusion.
Per report from Corey Csuhta. Add a test case based on his example.
(Note: this case does not trigger the bug under 9.3, apparently because
its different measurement of costs causes it to stop merging states before
it hits the failure. I spent some time trying to find a variant that would
fail in 9.3, without success; but I'm sure such cases exist.)

regexport.c thought it could just ignore LACON arcs, but the correct
behavior is to treat them as satisfiable while consuming zero input
(rather reminiscently of commit 9f1e642d5). Otherwise, the emitted
simplified-NFA representation may contain no paths leading from initial
to final state, which unsurprisingly confuses pg_trgm, as seen in
bug #14623 from Jeff Janes.
Since regexport's output representation has no concept of an arc that
consumes zero input, recurse internally to find the next normal arc(s)
after any LACON transitions. We'd be forced into changing that
representation if a LACON could be the last arc reaching the final
state, but fortunately the regex library never builds NFAs with such
a configuration, so there always is a next normal arc.

The logic for removing excess trigrams from the result was faulty.
It intends to avoid merging the initial and final states of the NFA,
which is necessary, but in testing whether removal of a specific trigram
would cause that, it failed to consider the combined effects of all the
state merges that that trigram's removal would cause. This could result
in a broken final graph that would never match anything, leading to GIN
or GiST indexscans not finding anything.
To fix, add a "tentParent" field that is used only within this loop,
and set it to show state merges that we are tentatively going to do.
While examining a particular arc, we must chase up through tentParent
links as well as regular parent links (the former can only appear atop
the latter), and we must account for state init/fin flag merges that
haven't actually been done yet.
To simplify the latter, combine the separate init and fin bool fields
into a bitmap flags field. I also chose to get rid of the "children"
state list, which seems entirely inessential.

This applies portions of commits b64b5ccb6 and b1aebbb6a to the older

applied changes simply remove useless tests, eg checking an unsigned

such tests by default.
This fixes problems where a plan must change but fails to do so,

For ALTER FOREIGN TABLE OPTIONS, do this through the standard method of
forcing a relcache flush on the table. For ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
and ALTER SERVER, just flush the whole plan cache on any change in
pg_foreign_data_wrapper or pg_foreign_server. That matches the way
we handle some other low-probability cases such as opclass changes, and
it's unclear that the case arises often enough to be worth working harder.
Besides, that gives a patch that is simple enough to back-patch with

When dblink uses a postgres_fdw server name for its connection, it
is possible for the connection to have options that are invalid
with dblink (e.g. "updatable"). The recommended way to avoid this
problem is to use dblink_fdw servers instead. However there are use
cases for using postgres_fdw, and possibly other FDWs, for dblink
connection options, therefore protect against trying to use any
options that do not apply by using is_valid_dblink_option() when
building the connection string from the options.

Commits 4452000f3 et al established semantics for NullTest.argisrow that
are a bit different from its initial conception: rather than being merely
a cache of whether we've determined the input to have composite type,
the flag now has the further meaning that we should apply field-by-field
testing as per the standard's definition of IS [NOT] NULL. If argisrow
is false and yet the input has composite type, the construct instead has
the semantics of IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL. Update the comments in
primnodes.h to clarify this, and fix ruleutils.c and deparse.c to print
such cases correctly. In the case of ruleutils.c, this merely results in
cosmetic changes in EXPLAIN output, since the case can't currently arise
in stored rules. However, it represents a live bug for deparse.c, which
would formerly have sent a remote query that had semantics different
from the local behavior. (From the user's standpoint, this means that
testing a remote nested-composite column for null-ness could have had
unexpected recursive behavior much like that fixed in 4452000f3.)
In a related but somewhat independent fix, make plancat.c set argisrow
to false in all NullTest expressions constructed to represent "attnotnull"
constructs. Since attnotnull is actually enforced as a simple null-value
check, this is a more accurate representation of the semantics; we were
previously overpromising what it meant for composite columns, which might
possibly lead to incorrect planner optimizations. (It seems that what the
SQL spec expects a NOT NULL constraint to mean is an IS NOT NULL test, so
arguably we are violating the spec and should fix attnotnull to do the
other thing. If we ever do, this part should get reverted.)

In btree_gin and citext, avoid some not-particularly-interesting
dependencies on the sorting of 'aa'. In tsearch2, use COLLATE "C" to

allow removal of a variant expected-file).
Also, in citext, avoid assuming that lower('I') = 'i'. This isn't relevant
to Danish but it does fail in Turkish.
The old code used SEQ_MINVALUE to get the smallest int64 value. This
was done as a convenience to avoid having to deal with INT64_IS_BUSTED,
but that is obsolete now. Also, it is incorrect because the smallest
int64 value is actually SEQ_MINVALUE-1. Fix by writing out the constant
the long way, as it is done elsewhere in the code.
After pg_upgrade, it is possible that some tuples' Xmax have multixacts
corresponding to the old installation; such multixacts cannot have
running members anymore. In many code sites we already know not to read
them and clobber them silently, but at least when VACUUM tries to freeze
a multixact or determine whether one needs freezing, there's an attempt
to resolve it to its member transactions by calling GetMultiXactIdMembers,
and if the multixact value is "in the future" with regards to the
current valid multixact range, an error like this is raised:
ERROR: MultiXactId 123 has not been created yet -- apparent wraparound
and vacuuming fails. Per discussion with Andrew Gierth, it is completely
bogus to try to resolve multixacts coming from before a pg_upgrade,
regardless of where they stand with regards to the current valid
multixact range.
It's possible to get from under this problem by doing SELECT FOR UPDATE
of the problem tuples, but if tables are large, this is slow and
tedious, so a more thorough solution is desirable.
To fix, we realize that multixacts in xmax created in 9.2 and previous
have a specific bit pattern that is never used in 9.3 and later (we
already knew this, per comments and infomask tests sprinkled in various
places, but we weren't leveraging this knowledge appropriately).
Whenever the infomask of the tuple matches that bit pattern, we just
ignore the multixact completely as if Xmax wasn't set; or, in the case
of tuple freezing, we act as if an unwanted value is set and clobber it
without decoding. This guarantees that no errors will be raised, and
that the values will be progressively removed until all tables are
clean. Most callers of GetMultiXactIdMembers are patched to recognize
directly that the value is a removable "empty" multixact and avoid
calling GetMultiXactIdMembers altogether.
To avoid changing the signature of GetMultiXactIdMembers() in back
branches, we keep the "allow_old" boolean flag but rename it to
"from_pgupgrade"; if the flag is true, we always return an empty set
instead of looking up the multixact. (I suppose we could remove the
argument in the master branch, but I chose not to do so in this commit).
This was broken all along, but the error-facing message appeared first
because of commit 8e9a16ab8f7f and was partially fixed in a25c2b7c4db3.
This fix, backpatched all the way back to 9.3, goes approximately in the
same direction as a25c2b7c4db3 but should cover all cases.

regression tests that sometimes fail are no fun, so add commands

This patch essentially reverts commit 4c6780fd17aa43ed, in favor of a much
simpler solution for the case where the new cluster would choose to create
a TOAST table but the old cluster doesn't have one: just don't create a
TOAST table.
The existing code failed in at least two different ways if the situation
arose: (1) ALTER TABLE RESET didn't grab an exclusive lock, so that the
lock sanity check in create_toast_table failed; (2) pg_upgrade did not
provide a pg_type OID for the new toast table, so that the crosscheck in
TypeCreate failed. While both these problems were introduced by later
patches, they show that the hack being used to cause TOAST table creation
is overwhelmingly fragile (and untested). I also note that before the
TypeCreate crosscheck was added, the code would have resulted in assigning
an indeterminate pg_type OID to the toast table, possibly causing a later
OID conflict in that catalog; so that it didn't really work even when
committed.
If we simply don't create a TOAST table, there will only be a problem if
the code tries to store a tuple that's wider than a page, and field
compression isn't sufficient to get it under a page. Given that the TOAST
creation threshold is intended to be about a quarter of a page, it's very
hard to believe that cross-version differences in the do-we-need-a-toast-
table heuristic could result in an observable problem. So let's just
follow the old version's conclusion about whether a TOAST table is needed.
(If we ever do change needs_toast_table() so much that this conclusion
doesn't apply, we can devise a solution at that time, and hopefully do
it in a less klugy way than 4c6780fd17aa43ed did.)

Most of the changed call sites are arguably not critical, but it seems
better to err on the side of too much durability. The most prominent
known case where the previously missing fsyncs could cause data loss is
crashes at the end of a checkpoint. After the actual checkpoint has been
performed, old WAL files are recycled. When they're filled, their
contents are fdatasynced, but we did not fsync the containing
directory. An OS/hardware crash in an unfortunate moment could then end
up leaving that file with its old name, but new content; WAL replay

Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a
consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain
fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb514d431.
The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to
not agree with the actual index size on-disk.
Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent
compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where
the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency,
this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported
page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to
see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to
a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be
exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts.
Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in
pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't
resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.)
Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for
an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple
regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration
independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests.
The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent
root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for
a long time.
The original code wasn't careful to test the file descriptor returned by
PQsocket() for an invalid socket. If an invalid socket did turn up,
that would amount to calling FD_ISSET with fd = -1, whereby undefined
behavior can be invoked.
To fix, test file descriptor for validity and stop further processing if
that fails.
Problem noticed by Coverity.
There is an existing FD_ISSET callsite that does check for invalid
sockets beforehand, but the error message reported by it was
strerror(errno); in testing the aforementioned change, that turns out to
result in "bad socket: Success" which isn't terribly helpful. Instead
use PQerrorMessage() in both places which is more likely to contain an
useful error message.
Backpatch-through: 9.1.
Commit 64f5edca2401f6c2f23564da9dd52e92d08b3a20 fixed the same hazard
on master; this is a backport, but the modulo operator does not exist
in older releases.

Commit e09996ff8dee3f70 was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist
that the detected JSON number be the whole of the supplied string.
This allowed inputs such as "2016-01-01" to be misdetected as valid JSON
numbers. Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.
In passing, be more wary of zero-length input (I'm not sure this can
happen given current callers, but better safe than sorry), and do some
minor cosmetic cleanup.
The order of inclusion of .o files makes a difference in linker output;
not a functional difference, but still a bitwise difference, which annoys
some packagers who would like reproducible builds.
Report and patch by Christoph Berg
Both Blowfish and DES implementations of crypt() can take arbitrarily
long time, depending on the number of rounds specified by the caller;
make sure they can be interrupted.
