      libq support for sslpassword connection param, DER format keys · 4dc63552
      Andrew Dunstan authored 
      This patch providies for support for password protected SSL client
keys in libpq, and for DER format keys, both encrypted and unencrypted.
There is a new connection parameter sslpassword, which is supplied to
the OpenSSL libraries via a callback function. The callback function can
also be set by an application by calling PQgetSSLKeyPassHook(). There is
also a function to retreive the connection setting, PQsslpassword().

      Fix off-by-one error in PGTYPEStimestamp_fmt_asc · 3ff660bb
      Tomas Vondra authored 
      When using %b or %B patterns to format a date, the code was simply using
tm_mon as an index into array of month names. But that is wrong, because
tm_mon is 1-based, while array indexes are 0-based. The result is we
either use name of the next month, or a segfault (for December).

Fix by subtracting 1 from tm_mon for both patterns, and add a regression
test triggering the issue. Backpatch to all supported versions (the bug
is there far longer, since at least 2003).

      Revert commits 290acac9 and 8a7e9e9d. · 98a9b37b
      Amit Kapila authored 
      This commit revert the commits to add a test case that tests the 'force'
option when there is an active backend connected to the database being
dropped.

This feature internally sends SIGTERM to all the backends connected to the
database being dropped and then the same is reported to the client.  We
found that on Windows, the client end of the socket is not able to read
the data once we close the socket in the server which leads to loss of
error message which is not what we expect.  We also observed  similar
behavior in other cases like pg_terminate_backend(),
pg_ctl kill TERM <pid>.  There are probably a few others like that.  The
fix for this requires further study.

      Fix closing stdin in TestLib.pm · 792dba73
      Andrew Dunstan authored 
      Commit 9af34f3c naively assumed that all non-windows platforms would
have pseudoterminals and that perl would have IO::Pty. Such is not the
case. Instead of assumung anything, test for the presence of IO::Pty and
only use code that might depend on it if it's present. The test result is
exposed in $TestLib::have_io_pty so that it can be conveniently used in
SKIP tests.

      Allow access to child table statistics if user can read parent table. · 553d2ec2
      Tom Lane authored 
      The fix for CVE-2017-7484 disallowed use of pg_statistic data for
planning purposes if the user would not be able to select the associated
column and a non-leakproof function is to be applied to the statistics
values.  That turns out to disable use of pg_statistic data in some
common cases involving inheritance/partitioning, where the user does
have permission to select from the parent table that was actually named
in the query, but not from a child table whose stats are needed.  Since,
in non-corner cases, the user *can* select the child table's data via
the parent, this restriction is not actually useful from a security
standpoint.  Improve the logic so that we also check the permissions of
the originally-named table, and allow access if select permission exists
for that.

When checking access to stats for a simple child column, we can map
the child column number back to the parent, and perform this test
exactly (including not allowing access if the child column isn't
exposed by the parent).  For expression indexes, the current logic
just insists on whole-table select access, and this patch allows
access if the user can select the whole parent table.  In principle,
if the child table has extra columns, this might allow access to
stats on columns the user can't read.  In practice, it's unlikely
that the planner is going to do any stats calculations involving
expressions that are not visible to the query, so we'll ignore that
fine point for now.  Perhaps someday we'll improve that logic to
detect exactly which columns are used by an expression index ...
but today is not that day.

Back-patch to v11.  The issue was created in 9.2 and up by the
CVE-2017-7484 fix, but this patch depends on the append_rel_array[]
planner data structure which only exists in v11 and up.  In
practice the issue is most urgent with partitioned tables, so
fixing v11 and later should satisfy much of the practical need.

      Add safeguards for pg_fsync() called with incorrectly-opened fds · 12198239
      Michael Paquier authored 
      On some platforms, fsync() returns EBADFD when opening a file descriptor
with O_RDONLY (read-only), leading ultimately now to a PANIC to prevent
data corruption.

This commit adds a new sanity check in pg_fsync() based on fcntl() to
make sure that we don't repeat again mistakes with incorrectly-set file
descriptors so as problems are detected at an early stage.  Without
that, such errors could only be detected after running Postgres on a
specific supported platform for the culprit code path, which could take
some time before being found.  b8e19b93 was a fix for such a problem,
which got undetected for more than 5 years, and a586cc4b fixed another
similar issue.

Note that the new check added works as well when fsync=off is
configured, so as all regression tests would detect problems as long as
assertions are enabled.  fcntl() being not available on Windows, the
new checks do not happen there.

      Don't shut down Gather[Merge] early under Limit. · 080313f8
      Amit Kapila authored 
      Revert part of commit 19df1702f5.

Early shutdown was added by that commit so that we could collect
statistics from workers, but unfortunately, it interacted badly with
rescans.  The problem is that we ended up destroying the parallel context
which is required for rescans.  This leads to rescans of a Limit node over
a Gather node to produce unpredictable results as it tries to access
destroyed parallel context.  By reverting the early shutdown code, we
might lose statistics in some cases of Limit over Gather [Merge], but that
will require further study to fix.

      Avoid assertion failure with LISTEN in a serializable transaction. · 6b802cfc
      Tom Lane authored 
      If LISTEN is the only action in a serializable-mode transaction,
and the session was not previously listening, and the notify queue
is not empty, predicate.c reported an assertion failure.  That
happened because we'd acquire the transaction's initial snapshot
during PreCommit_Notify, which was called *after* predicate.c
expects any such snapshot to have been established.

To fix, just swap the order of the PreCommit_Notify and
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure calls during CommitTransaction.
This will imply holding the notify-insertion lock slightly longer,
but the difference could only be meaningful in serializable mode,
which is an expensive option anyway.

It appears that this is just an assertion failure, with no
consequences in non-assert builds.  A snapshot used only to scan
the notify queue could not have been involved in any serialization
conflicts, so there would be nothing for
PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure to do except assign it a
prepareSeqNo and set the SXACT_FLAG_PREPARED flag.  And given no
conflicts, neither of those omissions affect the behavior of
ReleasePredicateLocks.  This admittedly once-over-lightly analysis
is backed up by the lack of field reports of trouble.

Per report from Mark Dilger.  The bug is old, so back-patch to all
supported branches; but the new test case only goes back to 9.6,
for lack of adequate isolationtester infrastructure before that.

      Stabilize NOTIFY behavior by transmitting notifies before ReadyForQuery. · 79002697
      Tom Lane authored 
      This patch ensures that, if any notify messages were received during
a just-finished transaction, they get sent to the frontend just before
not just after the ReadyForQuery message.  With libpq and other client
libraries that act similarly, this guarantees that the client will see
the notify messages as available as soon as it thinks the transaction
is done.

This probably makes no difference in practice, since in realistic
use-cases the application would have to cope with asynchronous
arrival of notify events anyhow.  However, it makes it a lot easier
to build cross-session-notify test cases with stable behavior.
I'm a bit surprised now that we've not seen any buildfarm instability
with the test cases added by commit b10f40bf.  Tests that I intend
to add in an upcoming bug fix are definitely unstable without this.

Back-patch to 9.6, which is as far back as we can do NOTIFY testing
with the isolationtester infrastructure.

      Stabilize the results of pg_notification_queue_usage(). · 8b7ae5a8
      Tom Lane authored 
      This function wasn't touched in commit 51004c71, but that turns out
to be a bad idea, because its results now include any dead space
that exists in the NOTIFY queue on account of our being lazy about
advancing the queue tail.  Notably, the isolation tests now fail
if run twice without a server restart between, because async-notify's
first test of the function will already show a positive value.
It seems likely that end users would be equally unhappy about the
result's instability.  To fix, just make the function call
asyncQueueAdvanceTail before computing its result.  That should end
in producing the same value as before, and it's hard to believe that
there's any practical use-case where pg_notification_queue_usage()
is called so often as to create a performance degradation, especially
compared to what we did before.

Out of paranoia, also mark this function parallel-restricted (it
was volatile, but parallel-safe by default, before).  Although the
code seems to work fine when run in a parallel worker, that's outside
the design scope of async.c, and it's a bit scary to have intentional
side-effects happening in a parallel worker.  There seems no plausible
use-case where it'd be important to try to parallelize this, so let's
not take any risk of introducing new bugs.

In passing, re-pgindent async.c and run reformat-dat-files on
pg_proc.dat, just because I'm a neatnik.
