      Increase MAX_SYSCACHE_CALLBACKS to provide more room for extensions. · 596a7c8d
      Tom Lane authored
      Increase from the historical value of 32 to 64.  We are up to 31 callers
      of CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback() in HEAD, so if they were all to be
      exercised in one process that would leave only one slot for add-on modules.
      It's probably not possible for that to happen, but still we clearly need
      more daylight here.  (At some point it might be worth making the array
      dynamically resizable; but since we've never heard a complaint of "out of
      syscache_callback_list slots" happening in the field, I doubt it's worth
      it yet.)
      
      Back-patch as far as 9.4, which is where we increased the companion limit
      MAX_RELCACHE_CALLBACKS (cf commit f01d1ae3).  It's not as urgent in
      released branches, which have only a couple dozen call sites in core, but
      it still seems that somebody might hit the limit before these branches die.

      Rename WAL-related functions and views to use "lsn" not "location". · d10c626d
      Tom Lane authored
      Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to
      multiple concepts.  "LSN" is an unambiguous term for WAL locations and
      should be preferred.  Some function names, view column names, and function
      output argument names used "lsn" already, but others used "location",
      as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position".  Since we've already
      renamed a lot of things in this area from "xlog" to "wal" for v10,
      we may as well incur a bit more compatibility pain and make these names
      all consistent.

      Further patch rangetypes_selfuncs.c's statistics slot management. · da075960
      Tom Lane authored
      Values in a STATISTIC_KIND_RANGE_LENGTH_HISTOGRAM slot are float8,
      not of the type of the column the statistics are for.
      
      This bug is at least partly the fault of sloppy specification comments
      for get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot(): the type OID they want is that
      of the stavalues entries, not of the underlying column.  (I double-checked
      other callers and they seem to get this right.)  Adjust the comments to be
      more correct.
      
      Per buildfarm.

      Fix statistics reporting in logical replication workers · 9a591c1b

      Match pg_user_mappings limits to information_schema.user_mapping_options. · 3eefc510
      Noah Misch authored
      Both views replace the umoptions field with NULL when the user does not
      meet qualifications to see it.  They used different qualifications, and
      pg_user_mappings documented qualifications did not match its implemented
      qualifications.  Make its documentation and implementation match those
      of user_mapping_options.  One might argue for stronger qualifications,
      but these have long, documented tenure.  pg_user_mappings has always
      exhibited this problem, so back-patch to 9.2 (all supported versions).

      Restore PGREQUIRESSL recognition in libpq. · 0170b10d
      Noah Misch authored
      Commit 65c3bf19 moved handling of the,
      already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval().
      The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the
      change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection
      even when set.  Its documentation remained.  Restore its implementation.
      Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for
      those not following the link to requiressl.  Back-patch to 9.3, where
      commit 65c3bf19 first appeared.
      
      Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated
      and non-deprecated settings.  Before commit 65c3bf19, libpq operated
      according to the first of these found:
      
        requiressl=1
        PGREQUIRESSL=1
        sslmode=*
        PGSSLMODE=*
      
      (Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress
      PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1.  PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect
      whatsoever.)  Starting with commit 65c3bf19, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL,
      and order of precedence changed to this:
      
        last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
        PGSSLMODE=*
      
      Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence:
      
        last of requiressl=* or sslmode=*
        PGSSLMODE=*
        PGREQUIRESSL=1
      
      This retains the 65c3bf19 behavior for connection strings that contain
      both requiressl=* and sslmode=*.  It retains the 65c3bf19 change that
      either connection string option overrides both environment variables.
      For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this
      avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full"
      configurations originating under v9.3 and later.

      Add security checks to selectivity estimation functions · e2d4ef8d
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over
      data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows
      those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on
      the underlying tables.  Fix by checking that one of the following is
      satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table
      underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
      user-supplied operator is leak-proof.  If neither is satisfied, planning
      will proceed as if there are no statistics available.
      
      At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice.  The only
      situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or
      not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

      Remove support for password_encryption='off' / 'plain'. · eb61136d
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long
      time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're
      messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway.
      
      Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since
      storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
      'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does
      the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'.
      
      Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept
      --encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was
      a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password
      before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It
      added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was
      already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation
      was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now.
      
      Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for
      'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted
      value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing
      'plain', but it seems better this way.
