An LDAP URL without a host name such as "ldap://" or without a base DN
such as "ldap://localhost" would cause a crash when reading pg_hba.conf.

If no binddn is configured, an error message might end up trying to print a
null pointer, which could crash on some platforms.

This causes a warning when accidentally backpatching an XML-style
empty-element tag like <xref linkend="abc"/>.

Hash partitioning is useful when you want to partition a growing data
set evenly.  This can be useful to keep table sizes reasonable, which
makes maintenance operations such as VACUUM faster, or to enable
partition-wise join.

At present, we still depend on constraint exclusion for partitioning
pruning, and the shape of the partition constraints for hash
partitioning is such that that doesn't work.  Work is underway to fix
that, which should both improve performance and make partitioning
pruning work with hash partitioning.

Up to now, ACL checks for large objects happened at the level of
the SQL-callable functions, which led to CVE-2017-7548 because of a
missing check.  Push them down to be enforced in inv_api.c as much
as possible, in hopes of preventing future bugs.  This does have the
effect of moving read and write permission errors to happen at lo_open
time not loread or lowrite time, but that seems acceptable.

While it's generally unwise to give permissions on these functions to
anyone but a superuser, we've been moving away from hard-wired permission
checks inside functions in favor of using the SQL permission system to
control access.  Bring lo_import() and lo_export() into compliance with
that approach.

In particular, this removes the manual configuration option
ALLOW_DANGEROUS_LO_FUNCTIONS.  That dates back to 1999 (commit 4cd4a54c);
it's unlikely anyone has used it in many years.  Moreover, if you really
want such behavior, now you can get it with GRANT ... TO PUBLIC instead.

Somebody messed up a refactoring here.  As it stood, we'd check pg_ctl's
--version output twice for each cluster.  Worse, the first check for the
new cluster's version happened before we'd done any validate_exec checks
there, breaking the check ordering the code intended.

Upon further review, our Bonjour code doesn't actually work with the
Avahi not-too-compatible compatibility library.  While you can get it
to work on non-macOS platforms if you link to Apple's own mDNSResponder
code, there don't seem to be many people who care about that.  Leaving in
the AC_SEARCH_LIBS call seems more likely to encourage people to build
broken configurations than to do anything very useful.

Hence, remove the AC_SEARCH_LIBS call and put in a warning comment instead.

The point of having separate ResourceOwnerEnlargeFoo and
ResourceOwnerRememberFoo functions is so that resource allocation
can happen in between.  Doing it in some other order is just wrong.

OpenTemporaryFile() did open(), enlarge, remember, which would leak the
open file if the enlarge step ran out of memory.  Because fd.c has its own
layer of resource-remembering, the consequences look like they'd be limited
to an intratransaction FD leak, but it's still not good.

IncrBufferRefCount() did enlarge, remember, incr-refcount, which would blow
up if the incr-refcount step ever failed.  It was safe enough when written,
but since the introduction of PrivateRefCountHash, I think the assumption
that no error could happen there is pretty shaky.

The odds of real problems from either bug are probably small, but still,
back-patch to supported branches.

The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most
parts of the PostgreSQL sources.  The upper case spellings are only used
in some files/modules.  So standardize on the standard spellings.

The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so
those are left as is when using those APIs.

In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and
keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts.

The problem reported as CVE-2017-15098 was already resolved in HEAD by
commit 37a795a6, but let's add the relevant test cases anyway.

Michael Paquier and Tom Lane, per a report from David Rowley.

Security: CVE-2017-15098

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.

Security: CVE-2017-12172

The update path of an INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE requires SELECT
permission on the columns of the arbiter index, but it failed to check
for that in the case of an arbiter specified by constraint name.

In addition, for a table with row level security enabled, it failed to
check updated rows against the table's SELECT policies when the update
path was taken (regardless of how the arbiter index was specified).

Backpatch to 9.5 where ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE and RLS were introduced.

Security: CVE-2017-15099

Makefile.global assigns this prerequisite to every target named "check",
but similar targets must mention it explicitly.  Affected targets
failed, tested $PATH binaries, or tested a stale temporary installation.
The src/test/modules examples worked properly when called as "make -C
src/test/modules/$FOO check", but "make -j" allowed the test to start
before the temporary installation was in place.  Back-patch to 9.5,
where commit dcae5fac introduced the
shared temp-install.

In the v10 branch, also back-patch the effects of 1ff01b39 and c29c5789
on these files, to reduce future maintenance issues.  (I'd do it further
back, except that the 9.X branches differ anyway due to xlog-to-wal
link tag renaming.)

This restores the ability, essentially lost in commit
ffaa44cb, to use COPY FREEZE under
REPEATABLE READ isolation.  Back-patch to 9.4, like that commit.

There doesn't seem to be any good reason to do the filling of the
itemidbase[] array separately from the first traversal of the pointers.
It's certainly not a win if there are any line pointers with storage,
and even if there aren't, this change doesn't insert code into the part
of the first loop that will be traversed in that case.  So let's just

btree, hash, and bloom indexes all set up their metapages in standard
format (that is, with pd_lower and pd_upper correctly delimiting the
unused area); but they mostly didn't inform the xlog routines of this.
When calling log_newpage[_buffer], this is bad because it loses the
opportunity to compress unused data out of the WAL record.  When
calling XLogRegisterBuffer, it's not such a performance problem because
all of these call sites also use REGBUF_WILL_INIT, preventing an FPI
image from being written.  But it's still a good idea to provide the
flag when relevant, because that aids WAL consistency checking.

This completes the project of getting all the in-core index AMs to
handle their metapage WAL operations similarly.
