      Doc: add a short summary of available authentication methods. · 54fbd155
      Tom Lane authored 
      The "auth-methods" <sect1> used to include descriptions of all our
authentication methods.  Commit 56811e57 promoted its child <sect2>'s
to <sect1>'s, which has advantages but also created some issues:
* The auth-methods page itself is essentially empty/useless.
* Links that pointed to "auth-methods" as a placeholder for all
auth methods were rendered a bit nonsensical.
* DocBook no longer provides a subsection table-of-contents here,
which formerly was a useful if terse summary of available auth methods.

To improve matters, add a handwritten list of all the auth methods.

Per gripe from Dave Cramer.  Back-patch to v11 where the previous
commit came in.

      Fix minor problems with non-exclusive backup cleanup. · 30364019
      Robert Haas authored 
      The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit()
when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added
handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup
ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the
system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim,
because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback
only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works
if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState
is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't
seem to be strictly true.

To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session,
arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if
there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process.

This is a bug, but for now I'm not going to back-patch, because the
consequences are minor. It's possible to cause a spurious warning
to be generated, but that doesn't really matter. It's also possible
to trigger an assertion failure, but production builds shouldn't
have assertions enabled.

Patch by me, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi, Michael Paquier (who
preferred a different approach, but got outvoted), Fujii Masao,
and Tom Lane, and with comments by various others.

      It's basically a variant of Cygwin, so use that template.

      Try to stabilize results of new tuplesort regression test. · baa32ce2
      Tom Lane authored 
      It appears that a concurrent autovacuum/autoanalyze run can cause
changes in the plans expected by this test.  To prevent that, change
the tables it uses to be temp tables --- there's no need for them
to be permanent, and this should save a few cycles too.

      Prevent overly-aggressive collapsing of joins to RTE_RESULT relations. · 6ea364e7
      Tom Lane authored 
      The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit 4be058fe had a
flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a
PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if
another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to
the PHV.  That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late.
In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in
planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to
construct the join relation").

To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant
portions of the query tree.  Notably, this required refactoring
range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs
not the whole list.  (It might be a good idea to refactor
range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions
looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for
the bug fix.)

This exercise also taught me that find_dependent_phvs(), as it stood,
could only safely be used on the entire Query, not on subtrees.
Adjust its API to reflect that; which in passing allows it to have
a fast path for the common case of no PHVs anywhere.

Per report from Will Leinweber.  Back-patch to v12 where the bug
was introduced.

      Fix memory leak when initializing DH parameters in backend · e0e569e1
      Michael Paquier authored 
      When loading DH parameters used for the generation of ephemeral DH keys
in the backend, the code has never bothered releasing the memory used
for the DH information loaded from a file or from libpq's default.  This
commit makes sure that the information is properly free()'d.

Note that as SSL parameters can be reloaded, this can cause an accumulation
of memory leaked.  As the leak is minor, no backpatch is done.

      Fix mdsyncfiletag(), take II. · 7c85be08
      Thomas Munro authored 
      The previous commit failed to consider that FileGetRawDesc() might
not return a valid fd, as discovered on the build farm.  Switch to
using the File interface only.

Back-patch to 12, like the previous commit.
