Michael Paquier	cd4868a570	pageinspect: Fix handling of all-zero pages ... Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup). However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes when going through the page internals. This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way, returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths impacted.

Michael Paquier	291e517a4d	pageinspect: Add more sanity checks to prevent out-of-bound reads ... A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area, leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated page). The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct, but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation the page is attached to would run into problems. This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN, btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a special area size that fits with each access method, which is done though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer(). The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page, so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to superusers. The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases where using a raw page is useful. Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what this commit adds.

Michael Paquier	076f4d9539	pageinspect: Fix handling of page sizes and AM types ... This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page data as input argument: - The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact match on BLCKSZ. After considering a few options here, I have settled down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw(). Most of the SQL functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code path begins to access such values. This also reduces the number of strings that need to be translated. - The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to crashes. All the other functions in need of a Relation already did that. - Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport() for failures that can be triggered by the user. Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open relations.

Peter Eisentraut	f18aa1b203	pageinspect: Change block number arguments to bigint ... Block numbers are 32-bit unsigned integers. Therefore, the smallest SQL integer type that they can fit in is bigint. However, in the pageinspect module, most input and output parameters dealing with block numbers were declared as int. The behavior with block numbers larger than a signed 32-bit integer was therefore dubious. Change these arguments to type bigint and add some more explicit error checking on the block range. (Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.) Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in order to not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension is updated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similar to how it's done in other extensions as well.
