* Remove redundant message in AddUserToTokenDacl().Noah Misch2016-04-06
| | | | | | | | GetTokenUser() will have reported an adequate error message. These error conditions almost can't happen, so users are unlikely to observe this change. Reviewed by Tom Lane and Stephen Frost.
* Refer to a TOKEN_USER payload as a "token user," not as a "user token".Noah Misch2016-04-01
| | | | | This corrects messages for can't-happen errors. The corresponding "user token" appears in the HANDLE argument of GetTokenInformation().
* Move keywords.c/kwlookup.c into src/common/.Tom Lane2016-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have src/common/ for code shared between frontend and backend, we can get rid of (most of) the klugy ways that the keyword table and keyword lookup code were formerly shared between different uses. This is a first step towards a more general plan of getting rid of special-purpose kluges for sharing code in src/bin/. I chose to merge kwlookup.c back into keywords.c, as it once was, and always has been so far as keywords.h is concerned. We could have kept them separate, but there is noplace that uses ScanKeywordLookup without also wanting access to the backend's keyword list, so there seems little point. ecpg is still a bit weird, but at least now the trickiness is documented. I think that the MSVC build script should require no adjustments beyond what's done here ... but we'll soon find out.
* Make get_controlfile() error logging consistent with src/commonJoe Conway2016-03-07
| | | | | | | | As originally committed, get_controlfile() used a non-standard approach to error logging. Make it consistent with the majority of error logging done in src/common. Applies to master only.
* Expose control file data via SQL accessible functions.Joe Conway2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add four new SQL accessible functions: pg_control_system(), pg_control_checkpoint(), pg_control_recovery(), and pg_control_init() which expose a subset of the control file data. Along the way move the code to read and validate the control file to src/common, where it can be shared by the new backend functions and the original pg_controldata frontend program. Patch by me, significant input, testing, and review by Michael Paquier.
* Cosmetic improvements in new config_info code.Tom Lane2016-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity griped about use of unchecked strcpy() into a local variable. There's unlikely to be any actual bug there, since no caller would be passing a path longer than MAXPGPATH, but nonetheless use of strlcpy() seems preferable. While at it, get rid of unmaintainable separation between list of field names and list of field values in favor of initializing them in parallel. And we might as well declare get_configdata()'s path argument as const char *, even though no current caller needs that.
* Add new system view, pg_configJoe Conway2016-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Move and refactor the underlying code for the pg_config client application to src/common in support of sharing it with a new system information SRF called pg_config() which makes the same information available via SQL. Additionally wrap the SRF with a new system view, as called pg_config. Patch by me with extensive input and review by Michael Paquier and additional review by Alvaro Herrera.

* Reorganize our CRC source files again.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | Now that we use CRC-32C in WAL and the control file, the "traditional" and "legacy" CRC-32 variants are not used in any frontend programs anymore. Move the code for those back from src/common to src/backend/utils/hash. Also move the slicing-by-8 implementation (back) to src/port. This is in preparation for next patch that will add another implementation that uses Intel SSE 4.2 instructions to calculate CRC-32C, where available.
* Add palloc_extended for frontend and backend.Fujii Masao2015-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | This commit also adds pg_malloc_extended for frontend. These interfaces can be used to control at a lower level memory allocation using an interface similar to MemoryContextAllocExtended. For example, the callers can specify MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM if they want to suppress the "out of memory" error while allocating the memory and handle a NULL return value. Michael Paquier, reviewed by me.
* Revert "psql: fix \connect with URIs and conninfo strings"Robert Haas2015-04-02
| | | | | This reverts commit fcef1617295c074f2684c887627184d2fc26ac04, about which both the buildfarm and my local machine are very unhappy.
* psql: fix \connect with URIs and conninfo stringsAlvaro Herrera2015-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | psql was already accepting conninfo strings as the first parameter in \connect, but the way it worked wasn't sane; some of the other parameters would get the previous connection's values, causing it to connect to a completely unexpected server or, more likely, not finding any server at all because of completely wrong combinations of parameters. Fix by explicitely checking for a conninfo-looking parameter in the dbname position; if one is found, use its complete specification rather than mix with the other arguments. Also, change tab-completion to not try to complete conninfo/URI-looking "dbnames" and document that conninfos are accepted as first argument. There was a weak consensus to backpatch this, because while the behavior of using the dbname as a conninfo is nowhere documented for \connect, it is reasonable to expect that it works because it does work in many other contexts. Therefore this is backpatched all the way back to 9.0. To implement this, routines previously private to libpq have been duplicated so that psql can decide what looks like a conninfo/URI string. In back branches, just duplicate the same code all the way back to 9.2, where URIs where introduced; 9.0 and 9.1 have a simpler version. In master, the routines are moved to src/common and renamed.

* Run pg_upgrade and pg_resetxlog with restricted token on WindowsAndrew Dunstan2015-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As with initdb these programs need to run with a restricted token, and if they don't pg_upgrade will fail when run as a user with Adminstrator privileges. Backpatch to all live branches. On the development branch the code is reorganized so that the restricted token code is now in a single location. On the stable bramches a less invasive change is made by simply copying the relevant code to pg_upgrade.c and pg_resetxlog.c. Patches and bug report from Muhammad Asif Naeem, reviewed by Michael Paquier, slightly edited by me.
* Unlink static libraries before rebuilding them.Noah Misch2015-03-01
| | | | | | | | When the library already exists in the build directory, "ar" preserves members not named on its command line. This mattered when, for example, a "configure" rerun dropped a file from $(LIBOBJS). libpgport carried the obsolete member until "make clean". Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
* Speed up CRC calculation using slicing-by-8 algorithm.Heikki Linnakangas2015-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This speeds up WAL generation and replay. The new algorithm is significantly faster with large inputs, like full-page images or when inserting wide rows. It is slower with tiny inputs, i.e. less than 10 bytes or so, but the speedup with longer inputs more than make up for that. Even small WAL records at least have 24 byte header in the front. The output is identical to the current byte-at-a-time computation, so this does not affect compatibility. The new algorithm is only used for the CRC-32C variant, not the legacy version used in tsquery or the "traditional" CRC-32 used in hstore and ltree. Those are not as performance critical, and are usually only applied over small inputs, so it seems better to not carry around the extra lookup tables to speed up those rare cases. Abhijit Menon-Sen
* Move pg_crc.c to src/common, and remove pg_crc_tables.hHeikki Linnakangas2015-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To get CRC functionality in a client program, you now need to link with libpgcommon instead of libpgport. The CRC code has nothing to do with portability, so libpgcommon is a better home. (libpgcommon didn't exist when pg_crc.c was originally moved to src/port.) Remove the possibility to get CRC functionality by just #including pg_crc_tables.h. I'm not aware of any extensions that actually did that and couldn't simply link with libpgcommon. This also moves the pg_crc.h header file from src/include/utils to src/include/common, which will require changes to any external programs that currently does #include "utils/pg_crc.h". That seems acceptable, as include/common is clearly the right home for it now, and the change needed to any such programs is trivial.
* Move pg_lzcompress.c to src/common.Fujii Masao2015-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meta data of PGLZ symbolized by PGLZ_Header is removed, to make the compression and decompression code independent on the backend-only varlena facility. PGLZ_Header is being used to store some meta data related to the data being compressed like the raw length of the uncompressed record or some varlena-related data, making it unpluggable once PGLZ is stored in src/common as it contains some backend-only code paths with the management of varlena structures. The APIs of PGLZ are reworked at the same time to do only compression and decompression of buffers without the meta-data layer, simplifying its use for a more general usage. On-disk format is preserved as well, so there is no incompatibility with previous major versions of PostgreSQL for TOAST entries. Exposing compression and decompression APIs of pglz makes possible its use by extensions and contrib modules. Especially this commit is required for upcoming WAL compression feature so that the WAL reader facility can decompress the WAL data by using pglz_decompress. Michael Paquier, reviewed by me.
* Fix libpq's behavior when /etc/passwd isn't readable.Tom Lane2015-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users run their applications in chroot environments that lack an /etc/passwd file. This means that the current UID's user name and home directory are not obtainable. libpq used to be all right with that, so long as the database role name to use was specified explicitly. But commit a4c8f14364c27508233f8a31ac4b10a4c90235a9 broke such cases by causing any failure of pg_fe_getauthname() to be treated as a hard error. In any case it did little to advance its nominal goal of causing errors in pg_fe_getauthname() to be reported better. So revert that and instead put some real error-reporting code in place. This requires changes to the APIs of pg_fe_getauthname() and pqGetpwuid(), since the latter had departed from the POSIX-specified API of getpwuid_r() in a way that made it impossible to distinguish actual lookup errors from "no such user". To allow such failures to be reported, while not failing if the caller supplies a role name, add a second call of pg_fe_getauthname() in connectOptions2(). This is a tad ugly, and could perhaps be avoided with some refactoring of PQsetdbLogin(), but I'll leave that idea for later. (Note that the complained-of misbehavior only occurs in PQsetdbLogin, not when using the PQconnect functions, because in the latter we will never bother to call pg_fe_getauthname() if the user gives a role name.) In passing also clean up the Windows-side usage of GetUserName(): the recommended buffer size is 257 bytes, the passed buffer length should be the buffer size not buffer size less 1, and any error is reported by GetLastError() not errno. Per report from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to 9.4 where the chroot failure case was introduced. The generally poor reporting of errors here is of very long standing, of course, but given the lack of field complaints about it we won't risk changing these APIs further back (even though they're theoretically internal to libpq).
* On Darwin, detect and report a multithreaded postmaster.Noah Misch2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | Darwin --enable-nls builds use a substitute setlocale() that may start a thread. Buildfarm member orangutan experienced BackendList corruption on account of different postmaster threads executing signal handlers simultaneously. Furthermore, a multithreaded postmaster risks undefined behavior from sigprocmask() and fork(). Emit LOG messages about the problem and its workaround. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

* Add pg_string_endswith as the start of a string helper library in src/common.Andres Freund2015-01-03
| | | | | | Backpatch to 9.3 where src/common was introduce, because a bugfix that needs to be backpatched, requires the function. Earlier branches will have to duplicate the code.
* Temporarily revert "Move pg_lzcompress.c to src/common."Tom Lane2014-12-25
| | | | | | | This reverts commit 60838df922345b26a616e49ac9fab808a35d1f85. That change needs a bit more thought to be workable. In view of the potentially machine-dependent stuff that went in today, we need all of the buildfarm to be testing those other changes.
* Move pg_lzcompress.c to src/common.Fujii Masao2014-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Exposing compression and decompression APIs of pglz makes possible its use by extensions and contrib modules. pglz_decompress contained a call to elog to emit an error message in case of corrupted data. This function is changed to return a status code to let its callers return an error instead. This commit is required for upcoming WAL compression feature so that the WAL reader facility can decompress the WAL data by using pglz_decompress. Michael Paquier

* Rationalize common/relpath.[hc].Tom Lane2014-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a73018392636ce832b09b5c31f6ad1f18a4643ea created rather a mess by putting dependencies on backend-only include files into include/common. We really shouldn't do that. To clean it up: * Move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY back to its longtime home in catalog/catalog.h. We won't consider this symbol part of the FE/BE API. * Push enum ForkNumber from relfilenode.h into relpath.h. We'll consider relpath.h as the source of truth for fork numbers, since relpath.c was already partially serving that function, and anyway relfilenode.h was kind of a random place for that enum. * So, relfilenode.h now includes relpath.h rather than vice-versa. This direction of dependency is fine. (That allows most, but not quite all, of the existing explicit #includes of relpath.h to go away again.) * Push forkname_to_number from catalog.c to relpath.c, just to centralize fork number stuff a bit better. * Push GetDatabasePath from catalog.c to relpath.c; it was rather odd that the previous commit didn't keep this together with relpath(). * To avoid needing relfilenode.h in common/, redefine the underlying function (now called GetRelationPath) as taking separate OID arguments, and make the APIs using RelFileNode or RelFileNodeBackend into macro wrappers. (The macros have a potential multiple-eval risk, but none of the existing call sites have an issue with that; one of them had such a risk already anyway.) * Fix failure to follow the directions when "init" fork type was added; specifically, the errhint in forkname_to_number wasn't updated, and neither was the SGML documentation for pg_relation_size(). * Fix tablespace-path-too-long check in CreateTableSpace() to account for fork-name component of maximum-length pathnames. This requires putting FORKNAMECHARS into a header file, but it was rather useless (and actually unreferenced) where it was. The last couple of items are potentially back-patchable bug fixes, if anyone is sufficiently excited about them; but personally I'm not. Per a gripe from Christoph Berg about how include/common wasn't self-contained.
* Don't #include utils/palloc.h in common/fe_memutils.h.Tom Lane2014-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This breaks the principle that common/ ought not depend on anything in the server, not only code-wise but in the headers. The only arguable advantage is avoidance of duplication of half a dozen extern declarations, and even that is rather dubious, considering that the previous coding was wrong about which declarations to duplicate: it exposed pnstrdup() to frontend code even though no such function is provided in fe_memutils.c. On the same principle, don't #include utils/memutils.h in the frontend build of psprintf.c. This requires duplicating the definition of MaxAllocSize, but that seems fine to me: there's no a-priori reason why frontend code should use the same size limit as the backend anyway. In passing, clean up some rather odd layout and ordering choices that were imposed on palloc.h to reduce the number of #ifdefs required by the previous approach. Per gripe from Christoph Berg. There's still more work to do to make include/common/ clean, but this part seems reasonably noncontroversial.
* Un-break peer authentication.Tom Lane2014-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Commit 613c6d26bd42dd8c2dd0664315be9551475b8864 sloppily replaced a lookup of the UID obtained from getpeereid() with a lookup of the server's own user name, thus totally destroying peer authentication. Revert. Per report from Christoph Berg. In passing, make sure get_user_name() zeroes *errstr on success on Windows as well as non-Windows. I don't think any callers actually depend on this ATM, but we should be consistent across platforms.

* Prevent potential overruns of fixed-size buffers.Tom Lane2014-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity identified a number of places in which it couldn't prove that a string being copied into a fixed-size buffer would fit. We believe that most, perhaps all of these are in fact safe, or are copying data that is coming from a trusted source so that any overrun is not really a security issue. Nonetheless it seems prudent to forestall any risk by using strlcpy() and similar functions. Fixes by Peter Eisentraut and Jozef Mlich based on Coverity reports. In addition, fix a potential null-pointer-dereference crash in contrib/chkpass. The crypt(3) function is defined to return NULL on failure, but chkpass.c didn't check for that before using the result. The main practical case in which this could be an issue is if libc is configured to refuse to execute unapproved hashing algorithms (e.g., "FIPS mode"). This ideally should've been a separate commit, but since it touches code adjacent to one of the buffer overrun changes, I included it in this commit to avoid last-minute merge issues. This issue was reported by Honza Horak. Security: CVE-2014-0065 for buffer overruns, CVE-2014-0066 for crypt()
* Fix unsafe references to errno within error messaging logic.Tom Lane2014-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily, though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages. Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple of additional places with the same disease.) Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
* Make various variables const (read-only).Tom Lane2014-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These changes should generally improve correctness/maintainability. A nice side benefit is that several kilobytes move from initialized data to text segment, allowing them to be shared across processes and probably reducing copy-on-write overhead while forking a new backend. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help libpq in the same way (at least not when it's compiled with -fpic on x86_64), but we can hope the linker at least collects all nominally-const data together even if it's not actually part of the text segment. Also, make pg_encname_tbl[] static in encnames.c, since there seems no very good reason for any other code to use it; per a suggestion from Wim Lewis, who independently submitted a patch that was mostly a subset of this one.

* Use improved vsnprintf calling logic in more places.Tom Lane2013-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are using a C99-compliant vsnprintf implementation (which should be most places, these days) it is worth the trouble to make use of its report of how large the buffer needs to be to succeed. This patch adjusts stringinfo.c and some miscellaneous usages in pg_dump to do that, relying on the logic recently added in libpgcommon's psprintf.c. Since these places want to know the number of bytes written once we succeed, modify the API of pvsnprintf() to report that. There remains near-duplicate logic in pqexpbuffer.c, but since that code is in libpq, psprintf.c's approach of exit()-on-error isn't appropriate for use there. Also note that I didn't bother touching the multitude of places that call (v)snprintf without any attempt to provide a resizable buffer. Release-note-worthy incompatibility: the API of appendStringInfoVA() changed. If there's any third-party code that's calling that directly, it will need tweaking along the same lines as in this patch. David Rowley and Tom Lane
* Replace pg_asprintf() with psprintf().Tom Lane2013-10-22
| | | | | | This eliminates an awkward coding pattern that's also unnecessarily inconsistent with backend coding. psprintf() is now the thing to use everywhere.
* Get rid of use of asprintf() in favor of a more portable implementation.Tom Lane2013-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon since it's not really libpgport material. I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf() in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.

Also switch the link order in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds. The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should perhaps be separated sometime.

* Create libpgcommon, and move pg_malloc et al to itAlvaro Herrera2013-02-12
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better to keep them separate. The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc and friends, which many frontend programs were already using. At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the previous one. This lets us clean up some places that were already with localized hacks. Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
