      Make contrib/unaccent's unaccent() function work when not in search path. · a5322ca1
      Tom Lane authored
      Since the fixes for CVE-2018-1058, we've advised people to schema-qualify
      function references in order to fix failures in code that executes under
      a minimal search_path setting.  However, that's insufficient to make the
      single-argument form of unaccent() work, because it looks up the "unaccent"
      text search dictionary using the search path.
      
      The most expedient answer seems to be to remove the search_path dependency
      by making it look in the same schema that the unaccent() function itself
      is declared in.  This will definitely work for the normal usage of this
      function with the unaccent dictionary provided by the extension.
      It's barely possible that there are people who were relying on the
      search-path-dependent behavior to select other dictionaries with the same
      name; but if there are any such people at all, they can still get that
      behavior by writing unaccent('unaccent', ...), or possibly
      unaccent('unaccent'::text::regdictionary, ...) if the lookup has to be
      postponed to runtime.
      
      Per complaint from Gunnlaugur Thor Briem.  Back-patch to all supported
      branches.

      Refactor dlopen() support · 842cb9fa
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      Nowadays, all platforms except Windows and older HP-UX have standard
      dlopen() support.  So having a separate implementation per platform
      under src/backend/port/dynloader/ is a bit excessive.  Instead, treat
      dlopen() like other library functions that happen to be missing
      sometimes and put a replacement implementation under src/port/.

      Fix the overrun in hash index metapage for smaller block sizes. · ac27c74d
      Amit Kapila authored
      The commit 620b49a1 changed the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS with the intent
      to allow many non-unique values in hash indexes without worrying to reach
      the limit of the number of overflow pages.  At that time, this didn't
      occur to us that it can overrun the block for smaller block sizes.
      
      Choose the value of HASH_MAX_BITMAPS based on BLCKSZ such that it gives
      the same answer as now for the cases where the overrun doesn't occur, and
      some other sufficiently-value for the cases where an overrun currently
      does occur.  This allows us not to change the behavior in any case that
      currently works, so there's really no reason for a HASH_VERSION bump.

      Allow extensions to install built as well as unbuilt headers. · be54b377
      Andrew Gierth authored
      Commit df163230 overlooked the case that an out-of-tree extension
      might need to build its header files (e.g. via ./configure). If it is
      also doing a VPATH build, the HEADERS_* rules in the original commit
      would then fail to find the files, since they would be looking only
      under $(srcdir) and not in the build directory.
      
      Fix by adding HEADERS_built and HEADERS_built_$(MODULE) which behave
      like DATA_built in that they look in the build dir rather than the
      source dir (and also make the files dependencies of the "all" target).
      
      No Windows support appears to be needed for this, since it is only
      relevant to out-of-tree builds (no support exists in Mkvcbuild.pm to
      build extension header files in any case).

      Make argument names of pg_get_object_address consistent, and fix docs. · ae5205c8
      Tom Lane authored
      pg_get_object_address and pg_identify_object_as_address are supposed
      to be inverses, but they disagreed as to the names of the arguments
      representing the textual form of an object address.  Moreover, the
      documented argument names didn't agree with reality at all, either
      for these functions or pg_identify_object.
      
      In HEAD and v11, I think we can get away with renaming the input
      arguments of pg_get_object_address to match the outputs of
      pg_identify_object_as_address.  In theory that might break queries
      using named-argument notation to call pg_get_object_address, but
      it seems really unlikely that anybody is doing that, or that they'd
      have much trouble adjusting if they were.  In older branches, we'll
      just live with the lack of consistency.
      
      Aside from fixing the documentation of these functions to match reality,
      I couldn't resist the temptation to do some copy-editing.
      
      Per complaint from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.  Back-patch to 9.5 where these
      functions were introduced.  (Before v11, this is a documentation change
      only.)

      Simplify partitioned table creation vs. relcache · 2fbdf1b3
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      In the original code, we were storing the pg_inherits row for a
      partitioned table too early: enough that we had a hack for relcache to
      avoid falling flat on its face while reading such a partial entry.  If
      we finish the pg_class creation first and *then* store the pg_inherits
      entry, we don't need that hack.
      
      Also recognize that pg_class.relpartbound is not marked NOT NULL and
      therefore it's entirely possible to read null values, so having only
      Assert() protection isn't enough.  Change those to if/elog tests
      instead.  This qualifies as a robustness fix, so backpatch to pg11.
      
      In passing, remove one access that wasn't actually needed, and reword
      one message to be like all the others that check for the same thing.

      PL/Python: Remove use of simple slicing API · f5a6509b

      The simple slicing API (sq_slice, sq_ass_slice) has been deprecated
      since Python 2.0 and has been removed altogether in Python 3, so remove
      those functions from the PLyResult class.  Instead, the non-slice
      mapping functions mp_subscript and mp_ass_subscript can take slice
      objects as an index.  Since we just pass the index through to the
      underlying list object, we already support that.  Test coverage was

      Improve some error message strings and errcodes · d6e98ebe
      Michael Paquier authored
      This makes a bit less work for translators, by unifying error strings a
      bit more with what the rest of the code does, this time for three error
      strings in autoprewarm and one in base backup code.
      
      After some code review of slot.c, some file-access errcodes are reported
      but lead to an incorrect internal error, while corrupted data makes the
      most sense, similarly to the previous work done in e41d0a10.  Also,
      after calling rmtree(), a WARNING gets reported, which is a duplicate of
      what the internal call report, so make the code more consistent with all
      other code paths calling this function.

      Fully enforce uniqueness of constraint names. · 17b7c302
      Tom Lane authored
      It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain
      constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain.
      However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed
      some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index
      constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel).
      Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates
      could be created through race conditions.
      
      Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent
      about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked
      and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just
      processed the first match they came to.
      
      To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname).  Since
      either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce
      uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any
      one domain.  (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this
      catalog, more thought might be needed.  But it'd be at least as reasonable
      to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with
      two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.)  This index can replace
      the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one
      on contypid for query performance reasons.
      
      Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either
      coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve
      lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name.
      
      Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you
      get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the
      case complained of by André.  And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing
      autogenerated names that would draw such a failure.
      
      While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches,
      it doesn't seem quite too late to put this into v11, so do so.

      Fix memory leak in TRUNCATE decoding · 4ddd8f5f
      Tomas Vondra authored
      When decoding a TRUNCATE record, the relids array was being allocated in
      the main ReorderBuffer memory context, but not released with the change
      resulting in a memory leak.
      
      The array was also ignored when serializing/deserializing the change,
      assuming all the information is stored in the change itself.  So when
      spilling the change to disk, we've only we have serialized only the
      pointer to the relids array.  Thanks to never releasing the array,
      the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back
      to memory, preventing an actual crash.
      
      This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization.  The relids array
      is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the
      existing ones seems like a good match, and adding an extra context seems
      like an overkill).  The allocation is wrapped in a new ReorderBuffer API
      functions, to keep the details within reorderbuffer.c, just like the
      other ReorderBufferGet methods do.

      Ensure correct minimum consistent point on standbys · c186ba13
      Michael Paquier authored
      Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum
      consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets
      replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect
      calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes,
      which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example
      the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not
      updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to
      where it should have.
      
      The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a
      standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree
      deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen
      just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point.  Using a
      background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached
      would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a
      database.  Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could
      also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower.
      
      The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the
      minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup
      processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still
      initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the
      original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion
      with a crash do not show up.

      Make checksum_impl.h safe to compile with -fstrict-aliasing. · 8c62d9d1

      In general, Postgres requires -fno-strict-aliasing with compilers that
      implement C99 strict aliasing rules.  There's little hope of getting
      rid of that overall.  But it seems like it would be a good idea if
      storage/checksum_impl.h in particular didn't depend on it, because
      that header is explicitly intended to be included by external programs.
      We don't have a lot of control over the compiler switches that an
      external program might use, as shown by Michael Banck's report of
      failure in a privately-modified version of pg_verify_checksums.
      
      Hence, switch to using a union in place of willy-nilly pointer casting
      inside this file.  I think this makes the code a bit more readable
      anyway.

      added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still
      assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars
      and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors:
      
      * When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin
        path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not
        find pathkey item to sort' error.
      * When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a
        subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw
        the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error.
      * When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by
        contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child
        join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target
        lists' error.
      
      To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and
      one by me.  While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a
      ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the
      child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later,
      But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise
      join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead.  We don't need to
      handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit
      also removes the changes to the planner.
      
      Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child
      separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also
      required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it
      would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through
      the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation.  So this commit builds that
      list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as
      well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before
      partitionwise join went in.
      
      Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced.

      Fix pg_verify_checksums on Windows. · bb60f2cb

      To verify the checksums, we open the file in text mode which doesn't work
      on Windows as WIN32 treats Control-Z as EOF in files opened in text mode.
      This leads to "short read of block .." error in some cases.
      
      Fix it by opening the files in the binary mode.
