applicable comment from the float8_pass_by_value code to the

87d3b35a1c changed pg_upgrade to
checking the checksum version rather than just the Boolean presence of
checksums, but didn't change the field type in its ControlData struct
from bool. So this would not work correctly if there ever is a
checksum version larger than 1.
When you hit ^C, the terminal driver in Unix-like systems echoes "^C" as

This reverts commits a04ccf6df et al. in the back branches only.
There was some disagreement already over whether to back-patch
157f8739a, on the grounds that it is the sort of behavioral
change that we don't like to back-patch. Furthermore, it now
looks like the logic needs some more work, which we don't have
time for before the upcoming 14.4 release. Revert for now, and
perhaps reconsider later.

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away. This
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we
signal it. Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur
even if the postmaster dies.
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX
since commit 4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there. In the
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working
for the doomed postmaster. If that happens, pg_ctl waited till
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members
have that set very high.
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function
beside that for wait-for-promote.
Back-patch to all supported versions, since pg_ctl's wait logic
is substantially identical in all, and we're seeing the slow test

It seems highly unlikely that gettext() can be relied on to be
async-signal-safe. psql used to understand that, but someone got
it wrong long ago in the src/bin/scripts/ version of handle_sigint,
and then the bad idea was perpetuated when those two versions were
unified into src/fe_utils/cancel.c.
I'm unsure why there have not been field complaints about this
... maybe gettext() is signal-safe once it's translated at least
one message? But we have no business assuming any such thing.
In cancel.c (v13 and up), I preserved our ability to localize
"Cancel request sent" messages by invoking gettext() before
the signal handler is set up. In earlier branches I just made
src/bin/scripts/ not localize those messages, as psql did then.
(Just for extra unsafety, the src/bin/scripts/ version was
invoking fprintf() from a signal handler. Sigh.)

The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding
the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to
adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade
(mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from
the origin, perhaps re-created).
This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set
of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version
of the cluster to-be-upgraded.
The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL
file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the
tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to
poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the
main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib
modules yet (these have more issues like their database names).
A backpatch down to 10 is done, adapting the version checks as this
script needs to be only backward-compatible, so as it becomes possible
to clean up a maximum amount of code within the buildfarm client.

Backpatch-through: 10
When a stored expression depends on a user-defined cast, the backend
records the dependency as being on the cast's implementation function
--- or indeed, if there's no cast function involved but just
RelabelType or CoerceViaIO, no dependency is recorded at all. This
is problematic for pg_dump, which is at risk of dumping things in the
wrong order leading to restore failures. Given the lack of previous
reports, the risk isn't that high, but it can be demonstrated if the
cast is used in some view whose rowtype is then used as an input or
result type for some other function. (That results in the view
getting hoisted into the functions portion of the dump, ahead of
the cast.)
A logically bulletproof fix for this would require including the
cast's OID in the parsed form of the expression, whence it could be
extracted by dependency.c, and then the stored dependency would force
pg_dump to do the right thing. Such a change would be fairly invasive,
and certainly not back-patchable. Moreover, since we'd prefer that
an expression using cast syntax be equal() to one doing the same
thing by explicit function call, the cast OID field would have to
have special ignored-by-comparisons semantics, making things messy.
So, let's instead fix this by a very simple hack in pg_dump: change
the object-type priority order so that casts are initially sorted
before functions, immediately after types. This fixes the problem
in a fairly direct way for casts that have no implementation function.
For those that do, the implementation function will be hoisted to just
before the cast by the dependency sorting step, so that we still have
a valid dump order. (I'm not sure that this provides a full guarantee
of no problems; but since it's been like this for many years without
any previous reports, this is probably enough to fix it in practice.)

Previously it was impossible to terminate these programs via control-C
while they were prompting for a password. We can fix that trivially
for their initial password prompts, by moving setup of the SIGINT
handler from just before to just after their initial GetConnection()
calls.
This fix doesn't permit escaping out of later re-prompts, but those
should be exceedingly rare, since the user's password or the server's
authentication setup would have to have changed meanwhile. We
considered applying a fix similar to commit 46d665bc2, but that
seemed more complicated than it'd be worth. Moreover, this way is
back-patchable, which that wasn't.

The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally
bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is
safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as
to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno.
Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things
completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors.
To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or
TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases
that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this,
but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a
constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors
in basically identical ways, which they didn't before.
This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places,
which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of
ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not
to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored
errno but neglected to.
In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary
local variables.
There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from
fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch.
While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for
old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced.

The documentation says plainly that \password acts on "the current user"
by default. What it actually acted on, or tried to, was the username
used to log into the current session. This is not the same thing if
one has since done SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHENTICATION. Aside from
the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role
doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role.
To fix, use "SELECT CURRENT_USER" to get the role name to act on.
(This syntax works with servers at least back to 7.0.) Also, in
hopes of reducing confusion, include the role name that will be
acted on in the password prompt.

The purpose of commit 8a54e12a38 was to
fix this, and it sufficed when the PREPARE TRANSACTION completed before
the CIC looked for lock conflicts. Otherwise, things still broke. As
before, in a cluster having used CIC while having enabled prepared
transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to
find rows. It may be necessary to reindex to recover from past
occurrences; REINDEX CONCURRENTLY suffices. Fix this for future index
builds by making CIC wait for arbitrarily-recent prepared transactions
and for ordinary transactions that may yet PREPARE TRANSACTION. As part
of that, have PREPARE TRANSACTION transfer locks to its dummy PGPROC
before it calls ProcArrayClearTransaction(). Back-patch to 9.6 (all

The buffer is bounded by MAXPGPATH, and thus the limit must be

here, since in this case, the buffer scanned is smaller than the

It was clearly the intent to do so all along, but the original coding
fat-fingered this by checking the wrong array element. We fixed it
in passing in 403a3d91c, but that later got reverted, and we forgot
to keep this bug fix.
Most of the time this'd be relatively harmless, since once we lock
any of the partitioned table's leaf partitions, that would suffice
to prevent major DDL on the partitioned table itself. However, a
childless partitioned table would get dumped with no relevant lock
whatsoever, possibly allowing dump failure or inconsistent output.
Unlike 403a3d91c, there are no versioning concerns, since every server
version that has partitioned tables will allow you to lock one.

Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings
faithfully. There are two changes here that are clear improvements:
* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.
* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.
The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous

This corrects a bunch of entries in win32_tzmap[], and adds a few

Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories:
* Flat-out errors:
US/Aleutan doesn't exist
America/Salvador doesn't exist
Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan
Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau
America/Mexico_City is wrong for Chetumal
America/Buenos_Aires is wrong for Cayenne
America/Caracas has its own zone, so poor fit for La Paz
US/Eastern is wrong for Haiti
US/Eastern is wrong for Indiana (East)
Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent
Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist
Signs of Etc/GMT zones were backwards
* Judgment calls:
(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)
Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much
more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means. CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.
Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard
Time".
Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".
America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".
Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".
* New Windows zone names:
"Israel Standard Time"
"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"
Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings
too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data.

Coverity complained that one caller of getFormattedTypeName() failed
to free the returned string. Which is true, but rather than fixing
that one, let's get rid of this tedious and error-prone requirement.
Now that getFormattedTypeName() caches its result, strdup'ing that
result and expecting the caller to free it accomplishes little except
to waste cycles. We do create a leak in the case where getTypes didn't
make a TypeInfo for the type, but that basically shouldn't ever happen.

starting the postmaster with a whole lot of options fails.

but we hadn't gotten around to checking what it was costing us to
repetitively look up type names. It turns out that when dumping the

issued are duplicative format_type() queries. However, Hubert Depesz
Lubaczewski reported a not-unusual case where these account for over

aren't expensive, but when network lag is a factor, they add up to a

The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name
existed in the repository storing those files. In this case, using
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new
compressed, partial, segment. The code was accidentally working
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path. It is wrong
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.
Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests
introduced by ffc9dda.
While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing
a bit the introduction of new compression methods. This addresses a
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.

Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is
inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for
tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent
with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other
fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll
say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic
problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different
timezone.
To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if
that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result
that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but
that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't
do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we
should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format
timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched
bug fix, though.)
Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's
build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have
an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist,
or could in future.

Backpatch-through: 9.6
An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following
memory.
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing
on them. However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of
its input.
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences
than a mere client-program crash.) Those functions were already
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files
that need it. (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping
functions' defense against this exact problem. So we just want a
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling
this issue.)
Per private report from houjingyi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
"typename" is a C++ keyword, so pg_upgrade.h fails to compile in C++.
Fortunately, there seems no likely reason for somebody to need to
do that. Nonetheless, it's project policy that all .h files should
pass cpluspluscheck, so rename the argument to fix that.
Oversight in 57c081de0; back-patch as that was. (The policy requiring
pg_upgrade.h to pass cpluspluscheck only goes back to v12, but it
seems best to keep this code looking the same in all branches.)
Commits 29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking
for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and
ranges. However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that
there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c. (The division
of responsibility between those files is less than clear...)
In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated
rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that
the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is
non-upgradable. It seems unlikely that someone would have a user
column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another
PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks
to the type OID embedded in composite Datums.
To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive
query that does the search to allow any base query that returns
a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one
starting type.
As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code
segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be
in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of
the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly
because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily
test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both
segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to
autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However,
in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying
to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable
stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would
likely dump core or otherwise misbehave.
The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason
to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the
file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented
assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require
separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen
fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's
fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat().
Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of
the file after successful autodetection. That wastes cycles and
it means we have four behaviors to verify not two.
Per bug #16951 from Sergey Koposov. This has been broken for
decades, so back-patch to all supported versions.

Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit
85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the
expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the
normal priority is the other way around.
Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix
it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the
default values for just a couple more lines of code.
This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on
service=whatever". That remains significantly different from before
85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus
not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this
is (mostly?) intentional. In any case, since libpq does not report
where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently.
Per bug #16936 from Jasen Betts. As with the previous patches,
back-patch to all supported branches. (9.5 is unfortunately now
out of support, so this won't get fixed there.)
