A number of issues were identified by the Coverity scanner and are addressed in this patch. None of these appear to be security issues and many are mostly cosmetic changes. Short comments for each of the changes follows. Correct the semi-colon placement in be-secure.c regarding SSL retries. Remove a useless comparison-to-NULL in proc.c (value is dereferenced prior to this check and therefore can't be NULL). Add checking of chmod() return values to initdb. Fix a couple minor memory leaks in initdb. Fix memory leak in pg_ctl- involves free'ing the config file contents. Use an int to capture fgetc() return instead of an enum in pg_dump. Fix minor memory leaks in pg_dump. (note minor change to convertOperatorReference()'s API) Check fclose()/remove() return codes in psql. Check fstat(), find_my_exec() return codes in psql. Various ECPG memory leak fixes. Check find_my_exec() return in ECPG. Explicitly ignore pqFlush return in libpq error-path. Change PQfnumber() to avoid doing an strdup() when no changes required. Remove a few useless check-against-NULL's (value deref'd beforehand). Check rmtree(), malloc() results in pg_regress. Also check get_alternative_expectfile() return in pg_regress.

The regex code didn't have any provision for query cancel; which is unsurprising given its non-Postgres origin, but still problematic since some operations can take a long time. Introduce a callback function to check for a pending query cancel or session termination request, and call it in a couple of strategic spots where we can make the regex code exit with an error indicator. If we ever actually split out the regex code as a standalone library, some additional work will be needed to let the cancel callback function be specified externally to the library. But that's straightforward (certainly so by comparison to putting the locale-dependent character classification logic on a similar arms-length basis), and there seems no need to do it right now. A bigger issue is that there may be more places than these two where we need to check for cancels. We can always add more checks later, now that the infrastructure is in place. Since there are known examples of not-terribly-long regexes that can lock up a backend for a long time, back-patch to all supported branches. I have hopes of fixing the known performance problems later, but adding query cancel ability seems like a good idea even if they were all fixed.

Commit abf5c5c9 added a bogus while- statement after the for(;;)-loop. It went unnoticed in testing, because it was dead code. Report by KONDO Mitsumasa. Backpatch to 9.3. The commit that introduced this was also applied to 9.2, but not the bogus while-loop part, because the code in 9.2 looks quite different.

Testing convert_to(..., 'ISO-8859-1') fails if there isn't a conversion function available from the database encoding to ISO-8859-1. This has been broken since day one, but the breakage was hidden by pg_do_encoding_conversion's failure to complain, up till commit 49c817ea. Since the data being converted in this test is plain ASCII, no actual conversion need happen (and if it did, it would prove little about citext anyway). So that we still have some code coverage of the convert() family of functions, let's switch to using convert_from, with SQL_ASCII as the specified source encoding. Per buildfarm.

We were resetting the tuple's HEAP_HOT_UPDATED flag as well as t_ctid on WAL replay of a tuple-lock operation, which is incorrect when the tuple is already updated. Back-patch to 9.3. The clearing of both header elements was there previously, but since no update could be present on a tuple that was being locked, it was harmless. Bug reported by Peter Geoghegan and Greg Stark in CAM3SWZTMQiCi5PV5OWHb+bYkUcnCk=O67w0cSswPvV7XfUcU5g@mail.gmail.com and CAM-w4HPTOeMT4KP0OJK+mGgzgcTOtLRTvFZyvD0O4aH-7dxo3Q@mail.gmail.com respectively; diagnosis by Andres Freund.

json_to_record() depends on get_call_result_type() for the tuple descriptor of the record that should be returned, but in some cases that cannot be determined. Add a guard to check if the tuple descriptor has been properly resolved, similar to other callers of get_call_result_type(). Also add guard for two other callers of get_call_result_type() in jsonfuncs.c. Although json_to_record() is the only actual bug, it's a good idea to follow convention.

If there are lots of uncommitted tuples at the end of the index range, get_actual_variable_range() ends up fetching each one and doing an MVCC visibility check on it, until it finally hits a visible tuple. This is bad enough in isolation, considering that we don't need an exact answer only an approximate one. But because the tuples are not yet committed, each visibility check does a TransactionIdIsInProgress() test, which involves scanning the ProcArray. When multiple sessions do this concurrently, the ensuing contention results in horrid performance loss. 20X overall throughput loss on not-too-complicated queries is easy to demonstrate in the back branches (though someone's made it noticeably less bad in HEAD). We can dodge the problem fairly effectively by using SnapshotDirty rather than a normal MVCC snapshot. This will cause the index probe to take uncommitted tuples as good, so that we incur only one tuple fetch and test even if there are many such tuples. The extent to which this degrades the estimate is debatable: it's possible the result is actually a more accurate prediction than before, if the endmost tuple has become committed by the time we actually execute the query being planned. In any case, it's not very likely that it makes the estimate a lot worse. SnapshotDirty will still reject tuples that are known committed dead, so we won't give bogus answers if an invalid outlier has been deleted but not yet vacuumed from the index. (Because btrees know how to mark such tuples dead in the index, we shouldn't have a big performance problem in the case that there are many of them at the end of the range.) This consideration motivates not using SnapshotAny, which was also considered as a fix. Note: the back branches were using SnapshotNow instead of an MVCC snapshot, but the problem and solution are the same. Per performance complaints from Bartlomiej Romanski, Josh Berkus, and others. Back-patch to 9.0, where the issue was introduced (by commit 40608e7f).

DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases. Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need to work toward fixing this. This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an allowed position. It has no impact on the output.

A large majority of the callers of pg_do_encoding_conversion were specifying the database encoding as either source or target of the conversion, meaning that we can use the less general functions pg_any_to_server/pg_server_to_any instead. The main advantage of using the latter functions is that they can make use of a cached conversion-function lookup in the common case that the other encoding is the current client_encoding. It's notationally cleaner too in most cases, not least because of the historical artifact that the latter functions use "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" in their APIs. Note that pg_any_to_server will apply an encoding verification step in some cases where pg_do_encoding_conversion would have just done nothing. This seems to me to be a good idea at most of these call sites, though it partially negates the performance benefit. Per discussion of bug #9210.

Various places assume that pg_do_encoding_conversion() and pg_server_to_any() will ensure encoding validity of their results; but they failed to do so in the case that the source encoding is SQL_ASCII while the destination is not. We cannot perform any actual "conversion" in that scenario, but we should still validate the string according to the destination encoding. Per bug #9210 from Digoal Zhou. Arguably this is a back-patchable bug fix, but on the other hand adding more enforcing of encoding checks might break existing applications that were being sloppy. On balance there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for a back-patch, so fix in HEAD only. While at it, remove some apparently-no-longer-needed provisions for letting pg_do_encoding_conversion() "work" outside a transaction --- if you consider it "working" to silently fail to do the requested conversion. Also, make a few cosmetic improvements in mbutils.c, notably removing some Asserts that are certainly dead code since the variables they assert aren't null are never null, even at process start. (I think this wasn't true at one time, but it is now.)

Most estimation functions apply estimate_expression_value to see if they can reduce an expression to a constant; the key difference is that it allows evaluation of stable as well as immutable functions in hopes of ending up with a simple Const node. scalararraysel didn't get the memo though, and neither did gincost_opexpr/gincost_scalararrayopexpr. Fix that, and remove a now-unnecessary estimate_expression_value step in the subsidiary function scalararraysel_containment. Per complaint from Alexey Klyukin. Back-patch to 9.3. The problem goes back further, but I'm hesitant to change estimation behavior in long-stable release branches.

The length of the output buffer was calculated based on the size of the argument hstore. On a sizeof(int) == 4 platform and a huge argument, it could overflow, causing a too small buffer to be allocated. Refactor the function to use a StringInfo instead of pre-allocating the buffer. Makes it shorter and more readable, too.

The customization overrode the fast-forward code with its custom Up link. So this is no longer really the fast-forward feature, so we might as well turn that off and override the non-ff template instead, thus removing one mental indirection. Fix the wrong column span declaration. Clarify and update the documentation.

Change input function error messages to be more consistent with what is done elsewhere. Remove a bunch of redundant type casts, so that the compiler will warn us if we screw up. Don't pass LSNs by value on platforms where a Datum is only 32 bytes, per buildfarm. Move macros for packing and unpacking LSNs to pg_lsn.h so that we can include access/xlogdefs.h, to avoid an unsatisfied dependency on XLogRecPtr.
