Fix fstat() emulation on Windows with standard streams
The emulation of fstat() in win32stat.c caused two issues with the
existing in-core callers, failing on EINVAL when using a stream as
argument:
- psql's \copy would crash when using a stream.
- pg_recvlogical would fail with -f -.
The tests in copyselect.sql from the main test suite covers the first
case, and there is a TAP test for the second case. However, in both
cases, as the standard streams are always redirected, automated tests
did not notice those issues, requiring a terminal on Windows to be
reproducible.
This issue has been introduced in
bed9075, and the origin of the problem
is that GetFileInformationByHandle() does not work directly on streams,
so this commit adds an extra code path to emulate and return a set of
stats that match best with the reality. Note that redirected streams
rely on handles that can be queried with GetFileInformationByHandle(),
but we can rely on GetFinalPathNameByHandleA() to detect this case.

xlog.c: Remove global variables ReadRecPtr and EndRecPtr.
In most places, the variables necessarily store the same value as the
eponymous members of the XLogReaderState that we use during WAL
replay, because ReadRecord() assigns the values from the structure
members to the global variables just after XLogReadRecord() returns.
However, XLogBeginRead() adjusts the structure members but not the
global variables, so after XLogBeginRead() and before the completion
of XLogReadRecord() the values can differ. Otherwise, they must be
identical. According to my analysis, the only place where either
variable is referenced at a point where it might not have the same
value as the structure member is the refrence to EndRecPtr within
XLogPageRead.
Therefore, at every other place where we are using the global
variable, we can just switch to using the structure member instead,
and remove the global variable. However, we can, and in fact should,
do this in XLogPageRead() as well, because at that point in the code,
the global variable will actually store the start of the record we
want to read - either because it's where the last WAL record ended, or
because the read position has been changed using XLogBeginRead since
the last record was read. The structure member, on the other hand,
will already have been updated to point to the end of the record we
just read. Elsewhere, the latter is what we use as an argument to
emode_for_corrupt_record(), so we should do the same here.
This part of the patch is perhaps a bug fix, but I don't think it has
any important consequences, so no back-patch. The point here is just
to continue to whittle down the entirely excessive use of global
variables in xlog.c.

Fix corner-case failure to detect improper timeline switch.
rescanLatestTimeLine() contains a guard against switching to
a timeline that forked off from the current one prior to the
current recovery point, but that guard does not work if the
timeline switch occurs before the first WAL recod (which must
be the checkpoint record) is read. Without this patch, an
improper timeline switch is therefore possible in such cases.
This happens because rescanLatestTimeLine() relies on the global
variable EndRecPtr to understand the current position of WAL
replay. However, EndRecPtr at this point in the code contains
the endpoint of the last-replayed record, not the startpoint or
endpoint of the record being replayed now. Thus, before any
records have been replayed, it's zero, which causes the sanity
check to always pass.
To fix, pass down the correct timeline explicitly. The
EndRecPtr value we want is the one from the xlogreader, which
will be the starting position of the record we're about to
try to read, rather than the global variable, which is the
ending position of the last record we successfully read.
They're usually the same, but not in the corner case described
here.
No back-patch, because in v14 and earlier branhes, we were using
the wrong TLI here as well as the wrong LSN. In master, that was
fixed by commit

Allow Memoize to operate in binary comparison mode

types to determine if the current set of parameters were the same as some
previously cached set. Certain types such as floating points where -0.0

the hash equality operator may cause problems as unless the join uses the

To fix this here we add a binary mode to Memoize to allow it to the

Adjust pg_dump's priority ordering for casts.
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.)

ac9099fc1 rearranged the logic in spgGetCache() that determines

the case where (a) the actual input data type is different from the

defaulted, and (c) the opclass has no "compress" function. (b) caused
us to assign the actual input data type as leafType, and then since

To fix, use attType for leafType when the index's declared column type
is different from but binary-compatible with attType. Do this only in

Add table to regression tests for binary-compatibility checks in pg_upgrade
This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all
the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not
dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary
compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added
in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are
designed to fail if that were to happen.
As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects
created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from,
a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary
incompatible change has been done (
7c15cef). This will hopefully be
enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a
new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in
pg_upgrade itself in this case (like
0ccfc28 for sql_identifier).
An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which
may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is
not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core
(src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their
tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the
future.

Provide a variant of simple_prompt() that can be interrupted by ^C.
Up to now, you couldn't escape out of psql's \password command

is pretty user-unfriendly, so improve it. To do so, we have to
modify the functions provided by pg_get_line.c; but we don't
want to mess with psql's SIGINT handler setup, so provide an
API that lets that handler cause the cancel to occur.
This relies on the assumption that we won't do any major harm by
longjmp'ing out of fgets(). While that's obviously a little shaky,
we've long had the same assumption in the main input loop, and few

Add a planner support function for starts_with().
This fills in some gaps in planner support for starts_with() and
the equivalent ^@ operator:
* A condition such as "textcol ^@ constant" can now use a regular
btree index, not only an SP-GiST index, so long as the index's
collation is C. (This works just like "textcol LIKE 'foo%'".)
* "starts_with(textcol, constant)" can be optimized the same as
"textcol ^@ constant".
* Fixed-prefix LIKE and regex patterns are now more like starts_with()

Clean up error handling in pg_basebackup's walmethods.c.
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.

Handle close() failures more robustly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup.
Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose,
as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe. I think it's
right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory.
Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls.
Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any
gzclose() call where we care about the error status. (There are
some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous
step.) This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant
error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno.
We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases
are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's
not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required.
Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time
errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself;
and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno.
Back-patch to v12. These mistakes are older than that, but between
the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact
that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need
substantial revision to work in older branches. It doesn't quite

postgres_fdw: suppress casts on constants in limited cases.
When deparsing an expression of the form "remote_var OP constant",
we'd normally apply a cast to the constant to make sure that the
remote parser thinks it's of the same type we do. However, doing
so is often not necessary, and it causes problems if the user has
intentionally declared the local column as being of a different
type than the remote column. A plausible use-case for that is
using text to represent a type that's an enum on the remote side.
A comparison on such a column will get shipped as "var = 'foo'::text",
which blows up on the remote side because there's no enum = text
operator. But if we simply leave off the explicit cast, the
comparison will do exactly what the user wants.
It's possible to do this without major risk of semantic problems, by
relying on the longstanding parser heuristic that "if one operand of
an operator is of type unknown, while the other one has a known type,
assume that the unknown operand is also of that type". Hence, this
patch leaves off the cast only if (a) the operator inputs have the same
type locally; (b) the constant will print as a string literal or NULL,
both of which are initially taken as type unknown; and (c) the non-Const
input is a plain foreign Var. Rule (c) guarantees that the remote
parser will know the type of the non-Const input; moreover, it means
that if this cast-omission does cause any semantic surprises, that can
only happen in cases where the local column has a different type than
the remote column. That wasn't guaranteed to work anyway, and this
patch should represent a net usability gain for such cases.
One point that I (tgl) remain slightly uncomfortable with is that we
will ignore an implicit RelabelType when deciding if the non-Const input
is a plain Var. That makes it a little squishy to argue that the remote
should resolve the Const as being of the same type as its Var, because
then our Const is not the same type as our Var. However, if we don't do
that, then this hack won't work as desired if the user chooses to use
varchar rather than text to represent some remote column. That seems
useful, so do it like this for now. We might have to give up the
RelabelType-ignoring bit if any problems surface.

Fix buffer overrun in unicode string normalization with empty input
PostgreSQL 13 and newer versions are directly impacted by that through
the SQL function normalize(), which would cause a call of this function
to write one byte past its allocation if using in input an empty
string after recomposing the string with NFC and NFKC. Older versions
(v10~v12) are not directly affected by this problem as the only code
path using normalization is SASLprep in SCRAM authentication that
forbids the case of an empty string, but let's make the code more robust
anyway there so as any out-of-core callers of this function are covered.
The solution chosen to fix this issue is simple, with the addition of a
fast-exit path if the decomposed string is found as empty. This would
only happen for an empty string as at its lowest level a codepoint would
be decomposed as itself if it has no entry in the decomposition table or
if it has a decomposition size of 0.
Some tests are added to cover this issue in v13~. Note that an empty
string has always been considered as normalized (grammar "IS NF[K]{C,D}
NORMALIZED", through the SQL function is_normalized()) for all the
operations allowed (NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD) since this feature has been
introduced as of
2991ac5. This behavior is unchanged but some tests are
added in v13~ to check after that.
I have also checked "make normalization-check" in src/common/unicode/,
while on it (works in 13~, and breaks in older stable branches
independently of this commit).

More cleanup of 'ThisTimeLineID'.
In XLogCtlData, rename the structure member ThisTimeLineID to
InsertTimeLineID and update the comments to make clear that it's only
expected to be set after recovery is complete.
In StartupXLOG, replace the local variables ThisTimeLineID and
PrevTimeLineID with new local variables replayTLI and newTLI. In the
old scheme, ThisTimeLineID was the replay TLI until we created a new
timeline, and after that the replay TLI was in PrevTimeLineID. Now,
replayTLI is the TLI from which we last replayed WAL throughout the
entire function, and newTLI is either that, or the new timeline created
upon promotion.
Remove some misleading comments from the comment block just above where
recoveryTargetTimeLineGoal and friends are declared. It's become
incorrect, not only because ThisTimeLineID as a variable is now gone,
but also because the rmgr code does not care about ThisTimeLineID and
has not since what used to be the TLI field in the page header was
repurposed to store the page checksum.
Add a comment GetFlushRecPtr that it's only supposed to be used in

Have the server properly terminate tar archives.
Earlier versions of PostgreSQL featured a version of pg_basebackup
that wanted to edit tar archives but was too dumb to parse them
properly. The server made things easier for the client by failing
to add the two blocks of zero bytes that ought to end a tar file,
leaving it up to the client to do that.
But since commit
23a1c6578c87fca0e361c4f5f9a07df5ae1f9858, we
don't need this hack any more, because pg_basebackup is now smarter
and can parse tar files even if they are properly terminated! So
change the server to always properly terminate the tar files. Older
versions of pg_basebackup can't talk to new servers anyway, so
there's no compatibility break.
On the pg_basebackup side, we see still need to add the terminating
zero bytes if we're talking to an older server, but not when the
server is v15+. Hopefully at some point we'll be able to remove
some of this compatibility cruft, but it seems best to hang on to
it for now.
In passing, add a file header comment to bbstreamer_tar.c, to make
it clearer what's going on here.

pg_basebackup's ability to parse tar archives, but also arranged
to parse them only when we need to make some modification to the

doesn't actually terminate tar archives. When the new parsing
logic was engaged, pg_basebackup would properly terminate the
tar file, but when it was skipped, pg_basebackup would just write
whatever it got from the server, meaning that the terminator
was missing.
Most versions of tar are willing to overlook the missing terminator, but
the AIX buildfarm animals were not. Fix by inventing a new kind of
bbstreamer that just blindly adds a terminator, and using it whenever we
don't parse the tar archive.

Disallow making an empty lexeme via array_to_tsvector().
The tsvector data type has always forbidden lexemes to be empty.
However, array_to_tsvector() didn't get that memo, and would
allow an empty-string array element to become an empty lexeme.
This could result in dump/restore failures later, not to mention
whatever semantic issues might be behind the original prohibition.
However, other functions that take a plain text input directly as
a lexeme value do not need a similar restriction, because they only
match the string against existing tsvector entries. In particular
it'd be a bad idea to make ts_delete() reject empty strings, since
that is the most convenient way to clean up any bad data that might
have gotten into a tsvector column via this bug.
Reflecting on that, let's also remove the prohibition against NULL
array elements in tsvector_delete_arr and tsvector_setweight_by_filter.
It seems more consistent to ignore them, as an empty-string element
would be ignored.

Change ThisTimeLineID from a global variable to a local variable.
StartupXLOG() still has ThisTimeLineID as a local variable, but the
remaining code in xlog.c now needs to the relevant TimeLineID by some
other means. Mostly, this means that we now pass it as a function
parameter to a bunch of functions where we didn't previously.
However, a few cases require special handling:
- In functions that might be called by outside callers who
wouldn't necessarily know what timeline to specify, we get
the timeline ID from shared memory. XLogCtl->ThisTimeLineID
can be used in most cases since recovery is known to have
completed by the time those functions are called. In
xlog_redo(), we can use XLogCtl->replayEndTLI.
- XLogFileClose() needs to know the TLI of the open logfile.
Do that with a new global variable openLogTLI. While
someone could argue that this is just trading one global
variable for another, the new one has a far more narrow
purposes and is referenced in just a few places.
- read_backup_label() now returns the TLI that it obtains
by parsing the backup_label file. Previously, ReadRecord()
could be called to parse the checkpoint record without
ThisTimeLineID having been initialized. Now, the timeline
is passed down, and I didn't want to pass an uninitialized
variable; this change lets us avoid that. The old coding
didn't seem to have any practical consequences that we need
to worry about, but this is cleaner.

Remove all use of ThisTimeLineID global variable outside of xlog.c
All such code deals with this global variable in one of three ways.
Sometimes the same functions use it in more than one of these ways
at the same time.
First, sometimes it's an implicit argument to one or more functions
being called in xlog.c or elsewhere, and must be set to the
appropriate value before calling those functions lest they
misbehave. In those cases, it is now passed as an explicit argument
instead.
Second, sometimes it's used to obtain the current timeline after
the end of recovery, i.e. the timeline to which WAL is being
written and flushed. Such code now calls GetWALInsertionTimeLine()
or relies on the new out parameter added to GetFlushRecPtr().
Third, sometimes it's used during recovery to store the current
replay timeline. That can change, so such code must generally
update the value before each use. It can still do that, but must
now use a local variable instead.
The net effect of these changes is to reduce by a fair amount the
amount of code that is directly accessing this global variable.
That's good, because history has shown that we don't always think
clearly about which timeline ID it's supposed to contain at any
given point in time, or indeed, whether it has been or needs to
be initialized at any given point in the code.
