Fix connection string handling in psql's \connect command.
psql's \connect claims to be able to re-use previous connection
parameters, but in fact it only re-uses the database name, user name,
host name (and possibly hostaddr, depending on version), and port.
This is problematic for assorted use cases. Notably, pg_dump[all]
emits "\connect databasename" commands which we would like to have
re-use all other parameters. If such a script is loaded in a psql run
that initially had "-d connstring" with some non-default parameters,
those other parameters would be lost, potentially causing connection
failure. (Thus, this is the same kind of bug addressed in commits
a45bc8a4f and
8e5793ab6, although the details are much different.)
To fix, redesign do_connect() so that it pulls out all properties
of the old PGconn using PQconninfo(), and then replaces individual
properties in that array. In the case where we don't wish to re-use
anything, get libpq's default settings using PQconndefaults() and
replace entries in that, so that we don't need different code paths
for the two cases.
This does result in an additional behavioral change for cases where
the original connection parameters allowed multiple hosts, say
"psql -h host1,host2", and the \connect request allows re-use of the
host setting. Because the previous coding relied on PQhost(), it
would only permit reconnection to the same host originally selected.
Although one can think of scenarios where that's a good thing, there
are others where it is not. Moreover, that behavior doesn't seem to
meet the principle of least surprise, nor was it documented; nor is
it even clear it was intended, since that coding long pre-dates the
addition of multi-host support to libpq. Hence, this patch is content
to drop it and re-use the host list as given.

Fix connection string handling in src/bin/scripts/ programs.

Thus, this is the same bug as commit

In libpq for Windows, call WSAStartup once and WSACleanup not at all.
The Windows documentation insists that every WSAStartup call should
have a matching WSACleanup call. However, if that ever had actual
relevance, it wasn't in this century. Every remotely-modern Windows
kernel is capable of cleaning up when a process exits without doing
that, and must be so to avoid resource leaks in case of a process
crash. Moreover, Postgres backends have done WSAStartup without
WSACleanup since commit
4cdf51e64 in 2004, and we've never seen any
indication of a problem with that.
libpq's habit of doing WSAStartup during connection start and
WSACleanup during shutdown is also rather inefficient, since a
series of non-overlapping connection requests leads to repeated,
quite expensive DLL unload/reload cycles. We document a workaround
for that (having the application call WSAStartup for itself), but
that's just a kluge. It's also worth noting that it's far from
uncommon for applications to exit without doing PQfinish, and
we've not heard reports of trouble from that either.
However, the real reason for acting on this is that recent
experiments by Alexander Lakhin show that calling WSACleanup
during PQfinish is triggering the symptom we occasionally see
that a process using libpq fails to emit expected stdio output.
Therefore, let's change libpq so that it calls WSAStartup only
once per process, during the first connection attempt, and never
calls WSACleanup at all.
While at it, get rid of the only other WSACleanup call in our code
tree, in pg_dump/parallel.c; that presumably is equally useless.

A problem case, presented by Onder Kalaci showed an Assert failure from

from multiplying the infinite outer_path_rows by 0.0.
In master, this problem was fixed by

Rethink recent fix for pg_dump's handling of extension config tables.
Commit
3eb3d3e78 was a few bricks shy of a load: while it correctly
set the table's "interesting" flag when deciding to dump the data of
an extension config table, it was not correct to clear that flag
if we concluded we shouldn't dump the data. This led to the crash
reported in bug #16655, because in fact we'll traverse dumpTableSchema
anyway for all extension tables (to see if they have user-added
seclabels or RLS policies).
The right thing to do is to force "interesting" true in makeTableDataInfo,
and otherwise leave the flag alone. (Doing it there is more future-proof
in case additional calls are added, and it also avoids setting the flag
unnecessarily if that function decides the table is non-dumpable.)
This investigation also showed that while only the --inserts code path
had an obvious failure in the case considered by
3eb3d3e78, the COPY
code path also has a problem with not having loaded table subsidiary
data. That causes fmtCopyColumnList to silently return an empty string
instead of the correct column list. That accidentally mostly works,
which perhaps is why we didn't notice this before. It would only fail
if the restore column order is different from the dump column order,
which only happens in weird inheritance cases, so it's not surprising
nobody had hit the case with an extension config table. Nonetheless,
it's a bug, and it goes a long way back, not just to v12 where the
--inserts code path started to have a problem with this.
In hopes of catching such cases a bit sooner in future, add some
Asserts that "interesting" has been set in both dumpTableData and
dumpTableSchema. Adjust the test case added by
3eb3d3e78 so that it
checks the COPY rather than INSERT form of that bug, allowing it to
detect the longer-standing symptom.

generate_join_implied_equalities() uses inner_rel->relids to look up
relevant eclasses, but it ought to be using nominal_inner_relids.

Fix handling of -d "connection string" in pg_dump/pg_restore.
Parallel pg_dump failed if its -d parameter was a connection string
containing any essential information other than host, port, or username.
The same was true for pg_restore with --create.
The reason is that these scenarios failed to preserve the connection
string from the command line; the code felt free to replace that with
just the database name when reconnecting from a pg_dump parallel worker
or after creating the target database. By chance, parallel pg_restore
did not suffer this defect, as long as you didn't say --create.
In practice it seems that the error would be obvious only if the
connstring included essential, non-default SSL or GSS parameters.
This may explain why it took us so long to notice. (It also makes
it very difficult to craft a regression test case illustrating the
problem, since the test would fail in builds without those options.)
Fix by refactoring so that ConnectDatabase always receives all the
relevant options directly from the command line, rather than

Avoid possible dangling-pointer access in tsearch_readline_callback.
tsearch_readline() saves the string pointer it returns to the caller
for possible use in the associated error context callback. However,
the caller will usually pfree that string sometime before it next
calls tsearch_readline(), so that there is a window where an ereport
will try to print an already-freed string.
The built-in users of tsearch_readline() happen to all do that pfree
at the bottoms of their loops, so that the window is effectively
empty for them. However, this is not documented as a requirement,
and contrib/dict_xsyn doesn't do it like that, so it seems likely
that third-party dictionaries might have live bugs here.
The practical consequences of this seem pretty limited in any case,
since production builds wouldn't clobber the freed string immediately,
besides which you'd not expect syntax errors in dictionary files
being used in production. Still, it's clearly a bug waiting to bite
somebody.
Fix by pstrdup'ing the string to be saved for the error callback,
and then pfree'ing it next time through. It's been like this for
a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

the code path in bgworker.c for reporting an error and exiting would

worker had an error message exceeding the shared-memory communication

To fix, just unblock signals at the appropriate point.

Teach libpq to handle arbitrary-length lines in .pgpass files.
Historically there's been a hard-wired assumption here that no line of
a .pgpass file could be as long as NAMEDATALEN*5 bytes. That's a bit
shaky to start off with, because (a) there's no reason to suppose that
host names fit in NAMEDATALEN, and (b) this figure fails to allow for
backslash escape characters. However, it fails completely if someone
wants to use a very long password, and we're now hearing reports of
people wanting to use "security tokens" that can run up to several
hundred bytes. Another angle is that the file is specified to allow
comment lines, but there's no reason to assume that long comment lines
aren't possible.
Rather than guessing at what might be a more suitable limit, let's
replace the fixed-size buffer with an expansible PQExpBuffer. That
adds one malloc/free cycle to the typical use-case, but that's surely
pretty cheap relative to the I/O this code has to do.
Also, add TAP test cases to exercise this code, because there was no
test coverage before.
This reverts most of commit
2eb3bc588, as there's no longer a need for
a warning message about overlength .pgpass lines. (I kept the explicit
check for comment lines, though.)

Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.
collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously
looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on.
The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere
to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but
concurrent insertions could add one. However, there was a thinko in
that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the
same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning. Since there's no
physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly
hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost
saved point in index" errors. (While I've duplicated this with manual
testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our
available testing technology.)
Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match.
While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it
matches the wording used in btree for a similar case.
collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not
exercised at all by our regression tests. While I can't make

Avoid pushing quals down into sub-queries that have grouping sets.
The trouble with doing this is that an apparently-constant subquery
output column isn't really constant if it is a grouping column that
appears in only some of the grouping sets. A qual using such a
column would be subject to incorrect const-folding after push-down,
as seen in bug #16585 from Paul Sivash.
To fix, just disable qual pushdown altogether if the sub-query has
nonempty groupingSets. While we could imagine far less restrictive
solutions, there is not much point in working harder right now,
because subquery_planner() won't move HAVING clauses to WHERE within
such a subquery. If the qual stays in HAVING it's not going to be
a lot more useful than if we'd kept it at the outer level.
Having said that, this restriction could be removed if we used a
parsetree representation that distinguished such outputs from actual

Fix handling of CREATE TABLE LIKE with inheritance.
If a CREATE TABLE command uses both LIKE and traditional inheritance,
Vars in CHECK constraints and expression indexes that are absorbed
from a LIKE parent table tended to get mis-numbered, resulting in
wrong answers and/or bizarre error messages (though probably not any
actual crashes, thanks to validation occurring in the executor).
In v12 and up, the same could happen to Vars in GENERATED expressions,
even in cases with no LIKE clause but multiple traditional-inheritance
parents.
The cause of the problem for LIKE is that parse_utilcmd.c supposed
it could renumber such Vars correctly during transformCreateStmt(),
which it cannot since we have not yet accounted for columns added via
inheritance. Fix that by postponing processing of LIKE INCLUDING
CONSTRAINTS, DEFAULTS, GENERATED, INDEXES till after we've performed
DefineRelation().
The error with GENERATED and multiple inheritance is a simple oversight
in MergeAttributes(); it knows it has to renumber Vars in inherited
CHECK constraints, but forgot to apply the same processing to inherited
GENERATED expressions (a/k/a defaults).

Prevent concurrent SimpleLruTruncate() for any given SLRU.
The SimpleLruTruncate() header comment states the new coding rule. To
achieve this, add locktype "frozenid" and two LWLocks. This closes a
rare opportunity for data loss, which manifested as "apparent
wraparound" or "could not access status of transaction" errors. Data
loss is more likely in pg_multixact, due to released branches' thin
margin between multiStopLimit and multiWrapLimit. If a user's physical
replication primary logged ": apparent wraparound" messages, the user
should rebuild standbys of that primary regardless of symptoms. At less
risk is a cluster having emitted "not accepting commands" errors or
"must be vacuumed" warnings at some point. One can test a cluster for
this data loss by running VACUUM FREEZE in every database. Back-patch

Be more careful about the shape of hashable subplan clauses.
nodeSubplan.c expects that the testexpr for a hashable ANY SubPlan
has the form of one or more OpExprs whose LHS is an expression of the
outer query's, while the RHS is an expression over Params representing
output columns of the subquery. However, the planner only went as far
as verifying that the clauses were all binary OpExprs. This works
99.99% of the time, because the clauses have the right shape when
emitted by the parser --- but it's possible for function inlining to
break that, as reported by PegoraroF10. To fix, teach the planner
to check that the LHS and RHS contain the right things, or more
accurately don't contain the wrong things. Given that this has been
broken for years without anyone noticing, it seems sufficient to just
give up hashing when it happens, rather than go to the trouble of
commuting the clauses back again (which wouldn't necessarily work
anyway).
While poking at that, I also noticed that nodeSubplan.c had a baked-in
assumption that the number of hash clauses is identical to the number
of subquery output columns. Again, that's fine as far as parser output
goes, but it's not hard to break it via function inlining. There seems
little reason for that assumption though --- AFAICS, the only thing
it's buying us is not having to store the number of hash clauses
explicitly. Adding code to the planner to reject such cases would take
more code than getting nodeSubplan.c to cope, so I fixed it that way.
This has been broken for as long as we've had hashable SubPlans,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

Handle new HOT chains in index-build table scans
When a table is scanned by heapam_index_build_range_scan (nĂŠe
IndexBuildHeapScan) and the table lock being held allows concurrent data
changes, it is possible for new HOT chains to sprout in a page that were
unknown when the scan of a page happened. This leads to an error such
as
ERROR: failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (X,Y) in table "tbl"
because the root tuple was not present when we first obtained the list
of the page's root tuples. This can be fixed by re-obtaining the list
of root tuples, if we see that a heap-only tuple appears to point to a
non-existing root.
This was reported by Anastasia as occurring for BRIN summarization

Make contrib modules' installation scripts more secure.
Hostile objects located within the installation-time search_path could
capture references in an extension's installation or upgrade script.
If the extension is being installed with superuser privileges, this
opens the door to privilege escalation. While such hazards have existed
all along, their urgency increases with the v13 "trusted extensions"
feature, because that lets a non-superuser control the installation path
for a superuser-privileged script. Therefore, make a number of changes
to make such situations more secure:
* Tweak the construction of the installation-time search_path to ensure
that references to objects in pg_catalog can't be subverted; and
explicitly add pg_temp to the end of the path to prevent attacks using
temporary objects.
* Disable check_function_bodies within installation/upgrade scripts,
so that any security gaps in SQL-language or PL-language function bodies
cannot create a risk of unwanted installation-time code execution.
* Adjust lookup of type input/receive functions and join estimator
functions to complain if there are multiple candidate functions. This
prevents capture of references to functions whose signature is not the
first one checked; and it's arguably more user-friendly anyway.
* Modify various contrib upgrade scripts to ensure that catalog
modification queries are executed with secure search paths. (These
are in-place modifications with no extension version changes, since
it is the update process itself that is at issue, not the end result.)
Extensions that depend on other extensions cannot be made fully secure
by these methods alone; therefore, revert the "trusted" marking that
commit
eb67623c9 applied to earthdistance and hstore_plperl, pending
some better solution to that set of issues.
Also add documentation around these issues, to help extension authors
write secure installation scripts.

walsnd: Don't set waiting_for_ping_response spuriously
Ashutosh Bapat noticed that when logical walsender needs to wait for
WAL, and it realizes that it must send a keepalive message to
walreceiver to update the sent-LSN, which *does not* request a reply
from walreceiver, it wrongly sets the flag that it's going to wait for
that reply. That means that any future would-be sender of feedback
messages ends up not sending a feedback message, because they all
believe that a reply is expected.
With built-in logical replication there's not much harm in this, because
WalReceiverMain will send a ping-back every wal_receiver_timeout/2
anyway; but with other logical replication systems (e.g. pglogical) it
can cause significant pain.
This problem was introduced in commit
41d5f8ad734, where the
request-reply flag was changed from true to false to WalSndKeepalive,
without at the same time removing the line that sets
waiting_for_ping_response.
Just removing that line would be a sufficient fix, but it seems better
to shift the responsibility of setting the flag to WalSndKeepalive
itself instead of requiring caller to do it; this is clearly less
error-prone.

Fix recently-introduced performance problem in ts_headline().
The new hlCover() algorithm that I introduced in commit
c9b0c678d
turns out to potentially take O(N^2) or worse time on long documents,
if there are many occurrences of individual query words but few or no
substrings that actually satisfy the query. (One way to hit this
behavior is with a "common_word & rare_word" type of query.) This
seems unavoidable given the original goal of checking every substring
of the document, so we have to back off that idea. Fortunately, it
seems unlikely that anyone would really want headlines spanning all of
a long document, so we can avoid the worse-than-linear behavior by
imposing a maximum length of substring that we'll consider.
For now, just hard-wire that maximum length as a multiple of max_words
times max_fragments. Perhaps at some point somebody will argue for
exposing it as a ts_headline parameter, but I'm hesitant to make such
a feature addition in a back-patched bug fix.
I also noted that the hlFirstIndex() function I'd added in that
commit was unnecessarily stupid: it really only needs to check whether
a HeadlineWordEntry's item pointer is null or not. This wouldn't make
all that much difference in typical cases with queries having just
a few terms, but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned.
In addition, add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call in TS_execute_recurse.
This ensures that hlCover's loop is cancellable if it manages to take
a long time, and it may protect some other TS_execute callers as well.
Back-patch to 9.6 as the previous commit was. I also chose to add the
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS call to 9.5. The old hlCover() algorithm seems
to avoid the O(N^2) behavior, at least on the test case I tried, but
nonetheless it's not very quick on a long document.

Fix ancient violation of zlib's API spec.
contrib/pgcrypto mishandled the case where deflate() does not consume
all of the offered input on the first try. It reset the next_in pointer
to the start of the input instead of leaving it alone, causing the wrong
data to be fed to the next deflate() call.
This has been broken since pgcrypto was committed. The reason for the
lack of complaints seems to be that it's fairly hard to get stock zlib
to not consume all the input, so long as the output buffer is big enough
(which it normally would be in pgcrypto's usage; AFAICT the input is
always going to be packetized into packets no larger than ZIP_OUT_BUF).
However, IBM's zlibNX implementation for AIX evidently will do it
in some cases.
I did not add a test case for this, because I couldn't find one that
would fail with stock zlib. When we put back the test case for
bug #16476, that will cover the zlibNX situation well enough.

Switch pg_test_fsync to use binary mode on Windows
pg_test_fsync has always opened files using the text mode on Windows, as
this is the default mode used if not enforced by _setmode().
This fixes a failure when running pg_test_fsync down to 12 because
O_DSYNC and the text mode are not able to work together nicely. We
fixed the handling of O_DSYNC in 12~ for the tool by switching to the
concurrent-safe version of fopen() in src/port/ with
0ba06e0. And
40cfe86, by enforcing the text mode for compatibility reasons if O_TEXT
or O_BINARY are not specified by the caller, broke pg_test_fsync. For
all versions, this avoids any translation overhead, and pg_test_fsync
should test binary writes, so it is a gain in all cases.
Note that O_DSYNC is still not handled correctly in ~11, leading to
pg_test_fsync to show insanely high numbers for open_datasync() (using
this property it is easy to notice that the binary mode is much
faster). This would require a backpatch of
0ba06e0 and
40cfe86, which
could potentially break existing applications, so this is left out.
There are no TAP tests for this tool yet, so I have checked all builds

result was processed in such a way that for each tuple we checked only
that the first file's metadata was NULL. This could have two

Fix timing issue with ALTER TABLE's validate constraint
An ALTER TABLE to validate a foreign key in which another subcommand
already caused a pending table rewrite could fail due to ALTER TABLE
attempting to validate the foreign key before the actual table rewrite
takes place. This situation could result in an error such as:
ERROR: could not read block 0 in file "base/nnnnn/nnnnn": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
The failure here was due to the SPI call which validates the foreign key
trying to access an index which is yet to be rebuilt.
Similarly, we also incorrectly tried to validate CHECK constraints before
the heap had been rewritten.
The fix for both is to delay constraint validation until phase 3, after
the table has been rewritten. For CHECK constraints this means a slight
behavioral change. Previously ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT on
inheritance tables would be validated from the bottom up. This was
different from the order of evaluation when a new CHECK constraint was
added. The changes made here aligns the VALIDATE CONSTRAINT evaluation
order for inheritance tables to be the same as ADD CONSTRAINT, which is

must be Vars referencing subquery outputs; but since we introduced
LATERAL, it's possible for such a Var to be a lateral reference instead.
This led to an assertion failure in debug builds. In a non-debug
build, there might be no ill effects (if qual_is_pushdown_safe decided
the qual was unsafe anyway), or we could get failures later due to
construction of an invalid plan. I've not gone to much length to
characterize the possible failures, but at least segfaults in the
executor have been observed.
Given that this has been busted since 9.3 and it took this long for
anybody to notice, I judge that the case isn't worth going to great
lengths to optimize. Hence, fix by just teaching qual_is_pushdown_safe
that such quals are unsafe to push down, matching the previous behavior
when it accidentally didn't fail.

Avoid trying to restore table ACLs and per-column ACLs in parallel.
Parallel pg_restore has always supposed that ACL items for different
objects are independent and can be restored in parallel without
conflicts. However, there is one case where this fails: because
REVOKE on a table is defined to also revoke the privilege(s) at
column level, we can't restore per-column ACLs till after we restore
any table-level privileges on their table. Failure to honor this
restriction can lead to "tuple concurrently updated" errors during
parallel restore, or even to the per-column ACLs silently disappearing
because the table-level REVOKE is executed afterwards.
To fix, add a dependency from each column-level ACL item to its table's
ACL item, if there is one. Note that this doesn't fix the hazard
for pre-existing archive files, only for ones made with a corrected
pg_dump. Given that the bug's been there quite awhile without
field reports, I think this is acceptable.
This requires changing the API of pg_dump's dumpACL() function.
To keep its argument list from getting even longer, I removed the
"CatalogId objCatId" argument, which has been unused for ages.

Clamp total-tuples estimates for foreign tables to ensure planner sanity.
After running GetForeignRelSize for a foreign table, adjust rel->tuples
to be at least as large as rel->rows. This prevents bizarre behavior
in estimate_num_groups() and perhaps other places, especially in the
scenario where rel->tuples is zero because pg_class.reltuples is
(suggesting that ANALYZE has never been run for the table). As things
stood, we'd end up estimating one group out of any GROUP BY on such a
table, whereas the default group-count estimate is more likely to result
in a sane plan.
Also, clarify in the documentation that GetForeignRelSize has the option
to override the rel->tuples value if it has a better idea of what to use
than what is in pg_class.reltuples.

Fix temporary tablespaces for shared filesets some more.
Commit
ecd9e9f0b fixed the problem in the wrong place, causing unwanted
side-effects on the behavior of GetNextTempTableSpace(). Instead,
let's make SharedFileSetInit() responsible for subbing in the value
of MyDatabaseTableSpace when the default tablespace is called for.
The convention about what is in the tempTableSpaces[] array is
evidently insufficiently documented, so try to improve that.
It also looks like SharedFileSetInit() is doing the wrong thing in the
case where temp_tablespaces is empty. It was hard-wiring use of the
pg_default tablespace, but it seems like using MyDatabaseTableSpace
is more consistent with what happens for other temp files.
Back-patch the reversion of PrepareTempTablespaces()'s behavior to
9.5, as
ecd9e9f0b was. The changes in SharedFileSetInit() go back
to v11 where that was introduced. (Note there is net zero code change
before v11 from these two patch sets, so nothing to release-note.)

Fix temporary tablespaces for shared filesets
A likely copy/paste error in
98e8b480532 from back in 2004 would
cause temp tablespace to be reset to InvalidOid if temp_tablespaces
was set to the same value as the primary tablespace in the database.
This would cause shared filesets (such as for parallel hash joins)
to ignore them, putting the temporary files in the default tablespace
instead of the configured one. The bug is in the old code, but it
appears to have been exposed only once we had shared filesets.
