2025-04-02Add timingsafe_bcmp(), for constant-time memory comparisonHeikki Linnakangas
timingsafe_bcmp() should be used instead of memcmp() or a naive for-loop, when comparing passwords or secret tokens, to avoid leaking information about the secret token by timing. This commit just introduces the function but does not change any existing code to use it yet.

2025-03-28Tidy up locale thread safety in ECPG library.Peter Eisentraut
Remove setlocale() and _configthreadlocal() as fallback strategy on systems that don't have uselocale(), where ECPG tries to control LC_NUMERIC formatting on input and output of floating point numbers. It was probably broken on some systems (NetBSD), and the code was also quite messy and complicated, with obsolete configure tests (Windows). It was also arguably broken, or at least had unstated environmental requirements, if pgtypeslib code was called directly. Instead, introduce PG_C_LOCALE to refer to the "C" locale as a locale_t value. It maps to the special constant LC_C_LOCALE when defined by libc (macOS, NetBSD), or otherwise uses a process-lifetime locale_t that is allocated on first use, just as ECPG previously did itself. The new replacement might be more widely useful. Then change the float parsing and printing code to pass that to _l() functions where appropriate. Unfortunately the portability of those functions is a bit complicated. First, many obvious and useful _l() functions are missing from POSIX, though most standard libraries define some of them anyway. Second, although the thread-safe save/restore technique can be used to replace the missing ones, Windows and NetBSD refused to implement standard uselocale(). They might have a point: "wide scope" uselocale() is hard to combine with other code and error-prone, especially in library code. Luckily they have the _l() functions we want so far anyway. So we have to be prepared for both ways of doing things: 1. In ECPG, use strtod_l() for parsing, and supply a port.h replacement using uselocale() over a limited scope if missing. 2. Inside our own snprintf.c, use three different approaches to format floats. For frontend code, call libc's snprintf_l(), or wrap libc's snprintf() in uselocale() if it's missing. For backend code, snprintf.c can keep assuming that the global locale's LC_NUMERIC is "C" and call libc's snprintf() without change, for now. (It might eventually be possible to call our in-tree Ryū routines to display floats in snprintf.c, given the C-locale-always remit of our in-tree snprintf(), but this patch doesn't risk changing anything that complicated.)

2025-03-27Provide thread-safe pg_localeconv_r().Peter Eisentraut
This involves four different implementation strategies: 1. For Windows, we now require _configthreadlocale() to be available and work (commit f1da075d9a0), and the documentation says that the object returned by localeconv() is in thread-local memory. 2. For glibc, we translate to nl_langinfo_l() calls, because it offers the same information that way as an extension, and that API is thread-safe. 3. For macOS/*BSD, use localeconv_l(), which is thread-safe. 4. For everything else, use uselocale() to set the locale for the thread, and use a big ugly lock to defend against the returned object being concurrently clobbered. In practice this currently means only Solaris. The new call is used in pg_locale.c, replacing calls to setlocale() and localeconv().

2025-01-29Avoid breaking SJIS encoding while de-backslashing Windows paths.Tom Lane
When running on Windows, canonicalize_path() converts '\' to '/' to prevent confusing the Windows command processor. It was doing that in a non-encoding-aware fashion; but in SJIS there are valid two-byte characters whose second byte matches '\'. So encoding corruption ensues if such a character is used in the path. We can fairly easily fix this if we know which encoding is in use, but a lot of our utilities don't have much of a clue about that. After some discussion we decided we'd settle for fixing this only in psql, and assuming that its value of client_encoding matches what the user is typing. It seems hopeless to get the server to deal with the problematic characters in database path names, so we'll just declare that case to be unsupported. That means nothing need be done in the server, nor in utility programs whose only contact with file path names is for database paths. But psql frequently deals with client-side file paths, so it'd be good if it didn't mess those up.

2025-01-16Convert libpgport's pqsignal() to a void function.Nathan Bossart
The protections added by commit 3b00fdba9f introduced race conditions to this function that can lead to bogus return values. Since nobody seems to inspect the return value, this is of little consequence, but it would have been nice to convert it to a void function to avoid any possibility of a bogus return value. I originally thought that doing so would have required also modifying legacy-pqsignal.c's version of the function (which would've required an SONAME bump), but commit 9a45a89c38 gave legacy-pqsignal.c its own dedicated extern for pqsignal(), thereby decoupling it enough that libpgport's pqsignal() can be modified. This commit also adds an assertion for the return value of sigaction()/signal(). Since a failure most likely indicates a coding error, and nobody has ever bothered to check pqsignal()'s return value, it's probably not worth the effort to do anything fancier.

2025-01-14Avoid symbol collisions between pqsignal.c and legacy-pqsignal.c.Tom Lane
In the name of ABI stability (that is, to avoid a library major version bump for libpq), libpq still exports a version of pqsignal() that we no longer want to use ourselves. However, since that has the same link name as the function exported by src/port/pqsignal.c, there is a link ordering dependency determining which version will actually get used by code that uses libpq as well as libpgport.a. It now emerges that the wrong version has been used by pgbench and psql since commit 06843df4a rearranged their link commands. This can result in odd failures in pgbench with the -T switch, since its SIGALRM handler will now not be marked SA_RESTART. psql may have some edge-case problems in \watch, too. Since we don't want to depend on link ordering effects anymore, let's fix this in the same spirit as b6c7cfac8: use macros to change the actual link names of the competing functions. We cannot change legacy-pqsignal.c's exported name of course, so the victim has to be src/port/pqsignal.c. In master, rename its exported name to be pqsignal_fe in frontend or pqsignal_be in backend. (We could perhaps have gotten away with using the same symbol in both cases, but since the FE and BE versions now work a little differently, it seems advisable to use different names.) In back branches, rename to pqsignal_fe in frontend but keep it as pqsignal in backend. The frontend change could affect third-party code that is calling pqsignal from libpgport.a or libpgport_shlib.a, but only if the code is compiled against port.h from a different minor release than libpgport. Since we don't support using libpgport as a shared library, it seems unlikely that there will be such a problem. I left the backend symbol unchanged to avoid an ABI break for extensions. This means that the link ordering hazard still exists for any extension that links against libpq. However, none of our own extensions use both pqsignal() and libpq, and we're not making things any worse for third-party extensions that do. Report from Andy Fan, diagnosis by Fujii Masao, patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, as 06843df4a was.

2024-09-02More use of getpwuid_r() directlyPeter Eisentraut
Remove src/port/user.c, call getpwuid_r() directly. This reduces some complexity and allows better control of the error behavior. For example, the old code would in some circumstances silently truncate the result string, or produce error message strings that the caller wouldn't use. src/port/user.c used to be called src/port/thread.c and contained various portability complications to support thread-safety. These are all obsolete, and all but the user-lookup functions have already been removed. This patch completes this by also removing the user-lookup functions. Also convert src/backend/libpq/auth.c to use getpwuid_r() for thread-safety. Originally, I tried to be overly correct by using sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to get the buffer size for getpwuid_r(), but that doesn't work on FreeBSD. All the OS where I could find the source code internally use 1024 as the suggested buffer size, so I just ended up hardcoding that. The previous code used BUFSIZ, which is an unrelated constant from stdio.h, so its use seemed inappropriate.

2024-02-09Refactor pipe_read_line to return the full lineDaniel Gustafsson
Commit 5b2f4afffe6 refactored find_other_exec() and in the process created pipe_read_line() into a static routine for reading a single line of output, aimed at reading version numbers. Commit a7e8ece41 later exposed it externally in order to read a postgresql.conf GUC using "postgres -C ..". Further, f06b1c598 also made use of it for reading a version string much like find_other_exec(). The internal variable remained "pgver", even when used for other purposes. Since the function requires passing a buffer and its size, and at most size - 1 bytes will be read via fgets(), there is a truncation risk when using this for reading GUCs (like how pg_rewind does, though the risk in this case is marginal). To keep this as generic functionality for reading a line from a pipe, this refactors pipe_read_line() into returning an allocated buffer containing all of the line to remove the risk of silent truncation.

2022-09-29Restore pg_pread and friends.Thomas Munro
Commits cf112c12 and a0dc8271 were a little too hasty in getting rid of the pg_ prefixes where we use pread(), pwrite() and vectored variants. We dropped support for ancient Unixes where we needed to use lseek() to implement replacements for those, but it turns out that Windows also changes the current position even when you pass in an offset to ReadFile() and WriteFile() if the file handle is synchronous, despite its documentation saying otherwise. Switching to asynchronous file handles would fix that, but have other complications. For now let's just put back the pg_ prefix and add some comments to highlight the non-standard side-effect, which we can now describe as Windows-only.

2022-09-16Clean up minor inconsistencies in pg_attribute_printf() usage.Tom Lane
For some reason we'd never decorated pg_v*printf() with pg_attribute_printf() annotations. There is a convention for how to label va_list-using printf functions (write zero for the second argument), and we use that liberally elsewhere in the code, but these core functions lacked it. It's not clear how much useful checking the compiler can do for calls of these, but we might as well add the annotations. Also, sync win32security.c's log_error() with our normal convention that pg_attribute_printf must be attached to a function's declaration not definition. Apparently this file is only compiled with compilers that aren't picky about that, but still it'd be better to be consistent.

Since HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS is now defined unconditionally, remove the macro and drop a small amount of dead code. The last known systems not to have them (as far as I know at least) were QNX, which we de-supported years ago, and Windows, which now has them. If a new OS ever shows up with the POSIX sockets API but without working AF_UNIX, it'll presumably still be able to compile the code, and fail at runtime with an unsupported address family error. We might want to consider adding a HINT that you should turn off the option to use it if your network stack doesn't support it at that point, but it doesn't seem worth making the relevant code conditional at compile time. Also adjust a couple of places in the docs and comments that referred to builds without Unix-domain sockets, since there aren't any.

2022-08-04Remove configure probe and related tests for getrlimit.Thomas Munro
getrlimit() is in SUSv2 and all targeted systems have it. Windows doesn't have it. We could just use #ifndef WIN32, but for a little more explanation about why we're making things conditional, let's retain the HAVE_GETRLIMIT macro. It's defined in port.h for Unix systems. On systems that have it, it's not necessary to test for RLIMIT_CORE, RLIMIT_STACK or RLIMIT_NOFILE macros, since SUSv2 requires those and all targeted systems have them. Also remove references to a pre-historic alternative spelling of RLIMIT_NOFILE, and coding that seemed to believe that Cygwin didn't have it.

2022-08-04Remove configure probe for dlopen, and refactor.Thomas Munro
dlopen() is in SUSv2 and all targeted Unix systems have it. We still need replacement functions for Windows, but we don't need a configure probe for that. Since it's no longer needed by other operating systems, rename dlopen.c to win32dlopen.c and move the declarations into win32_port.h. Likewise, the macros RTLD_NOW and RTLD_GLOBAL now only need to be defined on Windows, since all targeted Unix systems have 'em.

2022-07-21Remove fls(), use pg_leftmost_one_pos32() instead.Thomas Munro
Commit 4f658dc8 provided the traditional BSD fls() function in src/port/fls.c so it could be used in several places. Later we added a bunch of similar facilities in pg_bitutils.h, based on compiler builtins that map to hardware instructions. It's a bit confusing to have both 1-based and 0-based variants of this operation in use in different parts of the tree, and neither is blessed by a standard. Let's drop fls.c and the configure probe, and reuse the newer code.

2022-07-12Invent qsort_interruptible().Tom Lane
Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions, but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe. Opt-in seems like a better way.) For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection. There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can always change other call sites as we find problems. Back-patch to v14. Before that we didn't have extended stats on expressions, so that the problem was less severe. Also, this patch depends on the sort_template infrastructure introduced in v14.

2022-01-11Clean up messy API for src/port/thread.c.Tom Lane
The point of this patch is to reduce inclusion spam by not needing to #include <netdb.h> or <pwd.h> in port.h (which is read by every compile in our tree). To do that, we must remove port.h's declarations of pqGetpwuid and pqGethostbyname. pqGethostbyname is only used, and is only ever likely to be used, in src/port/getaddrinfo.c --- which isn't even built on most platforms, making pqGethostbyname dead code for most people. Hence, deal with that by just moving it into getaddrinfo.c. To clean up pqGetpwuid, invent a couple of simple wrapper functions with less-messy APIs. This allows removing some duplicate error-handling code, too. In passing, remove thread.c from the MSVC build, since it contains nothing we use on Windows. Noted while working on 376ce3e40.

2021-12-10Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.Thomas Munro
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available. This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to this investigation and fix.

2021-11-29Replace random(), pg_erand48(), etc with a better PRNG API and algorithm.Tom Lane
Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG code. In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the algorithm again in future, should that become necessary. xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family, but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit, and it should be much more trustworthy. It's likely to be noticeably faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily, unlike with random(). It is not cryptographically strong, but neither are the functions it replaces.

2021-11-11Fall back to unsigned int, not int, for socklen_t.Tom Lane
It's a coin toss which of these is a better default assumption.

This check was used to accommodate a staggering variety in particular in the type of the third argument of accept(). This is no longer of concern on currently supported systems. We can just use socklen_t in the code and put in a simple check that substitutes int for socklen_t if it's missing, to cover the few stragglers.

2021-09-30Treat ETIMEDOUT as indicating a non-recoverable connection failure.Tom Lane
Add ETIMEDOUT to ALL_CONNECTION_FAILURE_ERRNOS' list of "errnos that identify hard failure of a previously-established network connection". While one could imagine that this is sometimes recoverable, the same could be said of other entries such as ENETDOWN. In support of this, handle ETIMEDOUT on par with other socket errors in relevant infrastructure, such as TranslateSocketError(). (I made a couple of cosmetic adjustments in TranslateSocketError(), too.) The code now assumes that ETIMEDOUT is defined everywhere, which it should be given that POSIX has required it since SUSv2. Perhaps this should be back-patched, but I'm hesitant to do so given the lack of previous complaints, and the hazard that there's a small ABI break on Windows from redefining the symbol. Even if we decide to do that, it'd be prudent to let this bake awhile in HEAD first.
