Cygwin has been building and linking against static libraries. Although a bug this has been relatively harmless until now, when this has caused errors due to changes in the way we build certain libraries. So this patch makes things work the way we always intended, namely that we would link against the dynamic libraries (cygpq.dll etc.) and just not build the static libraries. The downstream packagers have been doing this for some time, so this just aligns with their practice. Extracted from a patch by Marco Atzeri, with a suggestion from Tom Lane.

Instead of recomputing the required lock levels in all these places, just use what commit fdba460a made the parser store in the RTE fields. This already simplifies the code measurably in these places, and follow-on changes will remove a bunch of no-longer-needed infrastructure. In a few cases, this change causes us to acquire a higher lock level than we did before. This is OK primarily because said higher lock level should've been acquired already at query parse time; thus, we're saving a useless extra trip through the shared lock manager to acquire a lesser lock alongside the original lock. The only known exception to this is that re-execution of a previously planned SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE query, for a table that uses ROW_MARK_REFERENCE or ROW_MARK_COPY methods, might have gotten only AccessShareLock before. Now it will get RowShareLock like the first execution did, which seems fine. While there's more to do, push it in this state anyway, to let the buildfarm help verify that nothing bad happened.

It's inefficient to use a single slot for mapping between tuple descriptors for multiple tuples, as previously done when using ConvertPartitionTupleSlot(), as that means the slot's tuple descriptors change for every tuple. Previously we also, via ConvertPartitionTupleSlot(), built new tuples after the mapping even in cases where we, immediately afterwards, access individual columns again. Refactor the code so one slot, on demand, is used for each partition. That avoids having to change the descriptor (and allows to use the more efficient "fixed" tuple slots). Then use slot->slot mapping, to avoid unnecessarily forming a tuple. As the naming between the tuple and slot mapping functions wasn't consistent, rename them to execute_attr_map_{tuple,slot}. It's likely that we'll also rename convert_tuples_by_* to denote that these functions "only" build a map, but that's left for later.

Previously, we used the platform's NL_ARGMAX if any, otherwise 16. The trouble with this is that the platform value is hugely variable, ranging from the POSIX-minimum 9 to as much as 64K on recent FreeBSD. Values of more than a dozen or two have no practical use and slow down the initialization of the argtypes array. Worse, they cause snprintf.c to consume far more stack space than was the design intention, possibly resulting in stack-overflow crashes. Standardize on 31, which is comfortably more than we need (it looks like no existing translatable message has more than about 10 parameters). I chose that, not 32, to make the array sizes powers of 2, for some possible small gain in speed of the memset. The lack of reported crashes suggests that the set of platforms we use snprintf.c on (in released branches) may have no overlap with the set where NL_ARGMAX has unreasonably large values. But that's not entirely clear, so back-patch to all supported branches. Per report from Mateusz Guzik (via Thomas Munro).

The variants of these functions that take numeric inputs (OIDs or column numbers) are supposed to return NULL rather than failing on bad input; this rule reduces problems with snapshot skew when queries apply the functions to all rows of a catalog. has_column_privilege() had careless handling of the case where the table OID didn't exist. You might get something like this: select has_column_privilege(9999,'nosuchcol','select'); ERROR: column "nosuchcol" of relation "(null)" does not exist or you might get a crash, depending on the platform's printf's response to a null string pointer. In addition, while applying the column-number variant to a dropped column returned NULL as desired, applying the column-name variant did not: select has_column_privilege('mytable','........pg.dropped.2........','select'); ERROR: column "........pg.dropped.2........" of relation "mytable" does not exist It seems better to make this case return NULL as well. Also, the OID-accepting variants of has_foreign_data_wrapper_privilege, has_server_privilege, and has_tablespace_privilege didn't follow the principle of returning NULL for nonexistent OIDs. Superusers got TRUE, everybody else got an error. Per investigation of Jaime Casanova's report of a new crash in HEAD. These behaviors have been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Opening a relation with no lock at all is unsafe; there's no guarantee that we'll see a consistent state of the relevant catalog entries. While use of MVCC scans to read the catalogs partially addresses that complaint, it's still possible to switch to a new catalog snapshot partway through loading the relcache entry. Moreover, whether or not you trust the reasoning behind sometimes using less than AccessExclusiveLock for ALTER TABLE, that reasoning is certainly not valid if concurrent users of the table don't hold a lock corresponding to the operation they want to perform. Hence, add some assertion-build-only checks that require any caller of relation_open(x, NoLock) to hold at least AccessShareLock. This isn't a full solution, since we can't verify that the lock level is semantically appropriate for the action --- but it's definitely of some use, because it's already caught two bugs. We can also assert that callers of addRangeTableEntryForRelation() hold at least the lock level specified for the new RTE.

contrib/pageinspect's tuple_data_split() function thought it could get away with opening the referenced relation with NoLock. In practice there's no guarantee that the current session holds any lock on that rel (even if we just read a page from it), so that this is unsafe. Switch to using AccessShareLock. Also, postpone closing the relation, so that we needn't copy its tupdesc. Also, fix unsafe use of att_isnull() for attributes past the end of the tuple.

If the column being modified is referenced by a foreign key constraint of another table, ALTER TABLE would open the other table (to re-parse the constraint's definition) without having first obtained a lock on it. This was evidently intentional, but that doesn't mean it's really safe. It's especially not safe in 9.3, which pre-dates use of MVCC scans for catalog reads, but even in current releases it doesn't seem like a good idea. We know we'll need AccessExclusiveLock shortly to drop the obsoleted constraint, so just get that a little sooner to close the hole.

Add RangeTblEntry.rellockmode, which records the appropriate lock mode for each RTE_RELATION rangetable entry (either AccessShareLock, RowShareLock, or RowExclusiveLock depending on the RTE's role in the query). This patch creates the field and makes all creators of RTE nodes fill it in reasonably, but for the moment nothing much is done with it. The plan is to replace assorted post-parser logic that re-determines the right lockmode to use with simple uses of rte->rellockmode. For now, just add Asserts in each of those places that the rellockmode matches what they are computing today. (In some cases the match isn't perfect, so the Asserts are weaker than you might expect; but this seems OK, as per discussion.) This passes check-world for me, but it seems worth pushing in this state to see if the buildfarm finds any problems in cases I failed to test. catversion bump due to change of stored rules.

The connection authorized message has quite a bit of useful information in it, but didn't include the application_name (when provided), so let's add that as it can be very useful. Note that at the point where we're emitting the connection authorized message, we haven't processed GUCs, so it's not possible to get this by using log_line_prefix (which pulls from the GUC). There's also something to be said for having this included in the connection authorized message and then not needing to repeat it for every line, as having it in log_line_prefix would do. The GUC cleans the application name to pure-ascii, so do that here too, but pull out the logic for cleaning up a string into its own function in common and re-use it from those places, and check_cluster_name which was doing the same thing.

Client applications should get this function, if they need it, from libpgport. The fact that it's exported from libpq is a hack left over from before we set up libpgport. It's never been documented, and there's no good reason for non-PG code to be calling it anyway, so hopefully this won't cause any problems. Moreover, with the previous setup it was not real clear whether our clients that use the function were getting it from libpgport or libpq, so this might actually prevent problems. The reason for changing it now is that in the wake of commit ea53100d, some linkers won't export the symbol, apparently because it's coming from a .a library instead of a .o file. We could get around that by continuing to symlink pqsignal.c into libpq as before; but unless somebody complains very hard, I don't want to adopt such a kluge.

A restart point or a checkpoint recycling WAL segments treats segments marked with neither ".done" (archiving is done) or ".ready" (segment is ready to be archived) in archive_status the same way for archive_mode being "on" or "always". While for a primary this is fine, a standby running a restart point with archive_mode = on would try to mark such a segment as ready for archiving, which is something that will never happen except after the standby is promoted. Note that this problem applies only to WAL segments coming from the local pg_wal the first time archive recovery is run. Segments part of a self-contained base backup are the most common case where this could happen, however even in this case normally the .done markers would be most likely part of the backup. Segments recovered from an archive are marked as .ready or .done by the startup process, and segments finished streaming are marked as such by the WAL receiver, so they are handled already.

It failed if passed a nonexistent relation OID, or one that was a non-heap relation, because of blindly applying heap_open to a user-supplied OID. This is not OK behavior for a SQL-exposed function; we have a project policy that we should return NULL in such cases. Moreover, since pg_get_partition_constraintdef ought now to work on indexes, restricting it to heaps is flat wrong anyway. The underlying function generate_partition_qual() wasn't on board with indexes having partition quals either, nor for that matter with rels having relispartition set but yet null relpartbound. (One wonders whether the person who wrote the function comment blocks claiming that these functions allow a missing relpartbound had ever tested it.) Fix by testing relispartition before opening the rel, and by using relation_open not heap_open. (If any other relkinds ever grow the ability to have relispartition set, the code will work with them automatically.) Also, don't reject null relpartbound in generate_partition_qual. Back-patch to v11, and all but the null-relpartbound change to v10. (It's not really necessary to change generate_partition_qual at all in v10, but I thought s/heap_open/relation_open/ would be a good idea anyway just to keep the code in sync with later branches.)

libpq and ecpg need shared-library-friendly versions of assorted src/port/ and src/common/ modules. Up to now, they got those by symlinking the individual source files and compiling them locally. That's baroque, and a pain to maintain, and it results in some amount of duplicated compile work. It might've made sense when only a couple of files were needed, but the list has grown and grown and grown :-( It makes more sense to have the originating directory build a third variant of libpgport.a/libpgcommon.a containing modules built with $(CFLAGS_SL), and just link that into the shared library. Unused files won't get linked, so the end result should be the same. This patch makes a down payment on that idea by having src/port/ build such a library and making libpq use it. If the buildfarm doesn't expose fatal problems with the approach, I'll extend it to the other cases. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13022.1538003440@sss.pgh.pa.us

The method we've traditionally used, of redeclaring strerror_r() to see if the compiler complains of inconsistent declarations, turns out not to work reliably because some compilers only report a warning, not an error. Amazingly, this has gone undetected for years, even though it certainly breaks our detection of whether strerror_r succeeded. Let's instead test whether the compiler will take the result of strerror_r() as a switch() argument. It's possible this won't work universally either, but it's the best idea I could come up with on the spur of the moment.

I started out with the idea that we needed to detect use of %m format specs in contexts other than elog/ereport calls, because we couldn't rely on that working in *printf calls. But a better answer is to fix things so that it does work. Now that we're using snprintf.c all the time, we can implement %m in that and we've fixed the problem. This requires also adjusting our various printf-wrapping functions so that they ensure "errno" is preserved when they call snprintf.c. Remove elog.c's handmade implementation of %m, and let it rely on snprintf to support the feature. That should provide some performance gain, though I've not attempted to measure it. There are a lot of places where we could now simplify 'printf("%s", strerror(errno))' into 'printf("%m")', but I'm not in any big hurry to make that happen.

We've spent an awful lot of effort over the years in coping with platform-specific vagaries of the *printf family of functions. Let's just forget all that mess and standardize on always using src/port/snprintf.c. This gets rid of a lot of configure logic, and it will allow a saner approach to dealing with %m (though actually changing that is left for a follow-on patch). Preliminary performance testing suggests that as it stands, snprintf.c is faster than the native printf functions for some tasks on some platforms, and slower for other cases. A pending patch will improve that, though cases with floating-point conversions will doubtless remain slower unless we want to put a *lot* of effort into that. Still, we've not observed that *printf is really a performance bottleneck for most workloads, so I doubt this matters much.

elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror. On Windows, it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native strerror does not. Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend and backend code will have all of this behavior. I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this. However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one, not the native strerror's. Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c, which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it. That's been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was already required by C89. We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but I'll tackle that separately.
