This reverts commit 3a60c8ff89. Buildfarm
results show that that caused a whole bunch of new warnings on platforms
where gcc believes the local printf to be non-POSIX-compliant. This
problem outweighs the hypothetical-anyway possibility of getting warnings
for misuse of %m. We could use gnu_printf archetype when we've substituted
src/port/snprintf.c, but that brings us right back to the problem of not
getting warnings for %m.
A possible answer is to attack it in the other direction by insisting
that %m support be included in printf's feature set, but that will take
more investigation. In the meantime, revert the previous change, and
update the comment for PGAC_C_PRINTF_ARCHETYPE to more fully explain
what's going on.

The pump_nb() step might've already received the desired data, so we must
check for that at the top of the loop not the bottom. Otherwise, the
call to pump() will sit with nothing to do until the timeout elapses.
pump_until then falls out with apparent success ... but the timeout has
been used up, causing the next call of pump_until to report a timeout
failure. I believe this explains the intermittent timeout failures
we've seen in the buildfarm ever since this test went in. I was able
to reproduce the problem on gaur semi-repeatably, and this appears to
fix it.
In passing, remove a duplicate assignment, fix one stdin-assignment to
look like the rest, and document the test's dependency on test_decoding.
When considering a partitioning parent rel, we should stop processing that
subroot as soon as we've done adjust_appendrel_attrs and any securityQuals
updates. The rest of this is unnecessary, and indeed adding duplicate
subquery RTEs to the subroot is *wrong*. As the code stood, the children
of that partition ended up with two sets of copied subquery RTEs, confusing
matters greatly. Even more hilarity ensued if all of the children got
excluded by constraint exclusion, so that the extra RTEs didn't make it
back into the parent rtable.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87va8g7vq0.fsf@ansel.ydns.eu
It's often unsafe to reference errno within an elog/ereport call, because
there are a lot of sub-functions involved and they might not all preserve
errno. (This is why we support the %m format spec: it works off a value
of errno captured before we execute any potentially-unsafe functions in
the arguments.) Therefore, we have a project policy not to use errno
there.
This patch adds a hack to cause an (admittedly obscure) compiler error
for such unsafe usages. With the current code, the error will only be seen
on Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD, but that should certainly be enough to catch
mistakes in the buildfarm if they somehow get missed earlier.
In addition, fix some places in src/common/exec.c that trip the error.
I think these places are actually all safe, but it's simple enough to
avoid the error by capturing errno manually, and doing so is good
future-proofing in case these call sites get any more complicated.

The elog/ereport family of functions certainly support the %m format spec,
because they implement it "by hand". But elsewhere we have printf wrappers
that might or might not allow it depending on whether the platform's printf
does. (Most non-glibc versions don't, and notably, src/port/snprintf.c
doesn't.) Hence, rather than using the gnu_printf format archetype
interchangeably for all these functions, use it only for elog/ereport.
This will allow us to get compiler warnings for mistakes like the ones
fixed in commit a13b47a59, at least on platforms where printf doesn't
take %m and gcc is correctly configured to know it. (Unfortunately,
that won't happen on Linux, nor on macOS according to my testing.
It remains to be seen what the buildfarm's gcc-on-Windows animals will
think of this, but we may well have to rely on less-popular platforms
to warn us about unportable code of this kind.)

Backpatch to REL_11_STABLE
Commit 9da0cc3528, which introduced parallel CREATE INDEX, failed to
propagate relmapper.c backend local cache state to parallel worker
processes. This could result in parallel index builds against mapped
catalog relations where the leader process (participating as a worker)
scans the new, pristine relfilenode, while worker processes scan the
obsolescent relfilenode. When this happened, the final index structure
was typically not consistent with the owning table's structure. The
final index structure could contain entries formed from both heap
relfilenodes. Only rebuilds on mapped catalog relations that occur as
part of a VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER could become corrupt in practice, since
their mapped relation relfilenode swap is what allows the inconsistency
to arise.
On master, fix the problem by propagating the required relmapper.c
backend state as part of standard parallel initialization (Cf. commit
29d58fd3). On v11, simply disallow builds against mapped catalog
relations by deeming them parallel unsafe.

Also, const-ify choose_dsm_implementation(), since what it's returning

A caller of TRUNCATE could previously queue for an access exclusive lock
on a relation it may not have permission to truncate, potentially
interfering with users authorized to work on it. This can be very
intrusive depending on the lock attempted to be taken. For example,
pg_authid could be blocked, preventing any authentication attempt to
happen on a PostgreSQL instance.
This commit fixes the case of TRUNCATE so as RangeVarGetRelidExtended is
used with a callback doing the necessary ACL checks at an earlier stage,
avoiding lock queuing issues, so as an immediate failure happens for
unprivileged users instead of waiting on a lock that would not be
taken.
This is rather similar to the type of work done in cbe24a6 for CLUSTER,
and the code of TRUNCATE is this time refactored so as there is no
user-facing changes. As the commit for CLUSTER, no back-patch is done.

A database owner running a database-level REINDEX has the possibility to
also do the operation on shared system catalogs without being an owner
of them, which allows him to block resources it should not have access
to. The same goes for a schema owner. For example, PostgreSQL would go
unresponsive and even block authentication if a lock is waited for
pg_authid. This commit makes sure that a user running a REINDEX SYSTEM,
DATABASE or SCHEMA only works on the following relations:
- The user is a superuser
- The user is the table owner
- The user is the database/schema owner, only if the relation worked on
is not shared.

The original coding here (which is, I believe, my fault) supposed that
it didn't need to concern itself with the possibility that one object
of a given type-priority has a namespace while another doesn't. But
that's not reliably true anymore, if it ever was; and if it does happen
then it's possible that DOTypeNameCompare returns self-inconsistent
comparison results. That leads to unspecified behavior in qsort()
and a resultant weird output order from pg_dump.
This should end up being only a cosmetic problem, because any ordering
constraints that actually matter should be enforced by the later
dependency-based sort. Still, it's a bug, so back-patch.

The logic in PQconnectPoll() did not take care to ensure that all of
a PGconn's internal state variables were reset before trying a new
connection attempt. If we got far enough in the connection sequence
to have changed any of these variables, and then decided to try a new
server address or server name, the new connection might be completed
with some state that really only applied to the failed connection.
While this has assorted bad consequences, the only one that is clearly
a security issue is that password_needed didn't get reset, so that
if the first server asked for a password and the second didn't,
PQconnectionUsedPassword() would return an incorrect result. This
could be leveraged by unprivileged users of dblink or postgres_fdw
to allow them to use server-side login credentials that they should
not be able to use.
Other notable problems include the possibility of forcing a v2-protocol
connection to a server capable of supporting v3, or overriding
"sslmode=prefer" to cause a non-encrypted connection to a server that
would have accepted an encrypted one. Those are certainly bugs but
it's harder to paint them as security problems in themselves. However,
forcing a v2-protocol connection could result in libpq having a wrong
idea of the server's standard_conforming_strings setting, which opens
the door to SQL-injection attacks. The extent to which that's actually
a problem, given the prerequisite that the attacker needs control of
the client's connection parameters, is unclear.
These problems have existed for a long time, but became more easily
exploitable in v10, both because it introduced easy ways to force libpq
to abandon a connection attempt at a late stage and then try another one
(rather than just giving up), and because it provided an easy way to
specify multiple target hosts.
Fix by rearranging PQconnectPoll's state machine to provide centralized
places to reset state properly when moving to a new target host or when
dropping and retrying a connection to the same host.

Security: CVE-2018-10915
There are some problems with the tls-unique channel binding type. It's not
supported by all SSL libraries, and strictly speaking it's not defined for
TLS 1.3 at all, even though at least in OpenSSL, the functions used for it
still seem to work with TLS 1.3 connections. And since we had no
mechanism to negotiate what channel binding type to use, there would be
awkward interoperability issues if a server only supported some channel
binding types. tls-server-end-point seems feasible to support with any SSL
library, so let's just stick to that.
This removes the scram_channel_binding libpq option altogether, since there
is now only one supported channel binding type.
This also removes all the channel binding tests from the SSL test suite.
They were really just testing the scram_channel_binding option, which
is now gone. Channel binding is used if both client and server support it,
so it is used in the existing tests. It would be good to have some tests
specifically for channel binding, to make sure it really is used, and the
different combinations of a client and a server that support or doesn't
support it. The current set of settings we have make it hard to write such
tests, but I did test those things manually, by disabling
HAVE_BE_TLS_GET_CERTIFICATE_HASH and/or
HAVE_PGTLS_GET_PEER_CERTIFICATE_HASH.
I also removed the SCRAM_CHANNEL_BINDING_TLS_END_POINT constant. This is a
matter of taste, but IMO it's more readable to just use the
"tls-server-end-point" string.
Refactor the checks on whether the SSL library supports the functions
needed for tls-server-end-point channel binding. Now the server won't
advertise, and the client won't choose, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant, if
compiled with an OpenSSL version too old to support it.
In the passing, add some sanity checks to check that the chosen SASL
mechanism, SCRAM-SHA-256 or SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS, matches whether the SCRAM
exchange used channel binding or not. For example, if the client selects
the non-channel-binding variant SCRAM-SHA-256, but in the SCRAM message
uses channel binding anyway. It's harmless from a security point of view,
I believe, and I'm not sure if there are some other conditions that would
cause the connection to fail, but it seems better to be strict about these
things and check explicitly.

When expanding an updatable view that is an INSERT's target, the rewriter
failed to rewrite Vars in the ON CONFLICT UPDATE clause. This accidentally
worked if the view was just "SELECT * FROM ...", as the transformation
would be a no-op in that case. With more complicated view targetlists,
this omission would often lead to "attribute ... has the wrong type" errors
or even crashes, as reported by Mario De Frutos Dieguez.
Fix by adding code to rewriteTargetView to fix up the data structure
correctly. The easiest way to update the exclRelTlist list is to rebuild
it from scratch looking at the new target relation, so factor the code
for that out of transformOnConflictClause to make it sharable.
In passing, avoid duplicate permissions checks against the EXCLUDED
pseudo-relation, and prevent useless view expansion of that relation's
dummy RTE. The latter is only known to happen (after this patch) in cases
where the query would fail later due to not having any INSTEAD OF triggers
for the view. But by exactly that token, it would create an unintended
and very poorly tested state of the query data structure, so it seems like
a good idea to prevent it from happening at all.
This has been broken since ON CONFLICT was introduced, so back-patch
to 9.5.

It's necessary to make sure that owning tables have a relcache
invalidation prior to advancing the command counter to make
newly-entered catalog tuples for the index visible. inval.c must be
able to maintain the consistency of the local caches in the event of

transactions abort, since there is a generic invalidation once we reach
index_update_stats().
This bug is of long standing. Problems were made much more likely by
the addition of parallel CREATE INDEX (commit 9da0cc3528), but it is

Commit 1944cdc98 changed PQhost() to return the hostaddr value when that

fe-auth.c and related files contain PQhost() calls for which it isn't.
Specifically, when we compare SSL certificates or other server identity
information to the host field, we do not want to use hostaddr instead;
that's not what's documented, that's not what happened pre-v10, and
it doesn't seem like a good idea.
Instead, we can just look at connhost[].host directly. This does what
we want in v10 and up; in particular, if neither host nor hostaddr
were given, the host field will be replaced with the default host name.
That seems useful, and it's likely the reason that these places were
coded to call PQhost() originally (since pre-v10, the stored field was
not replaced with the default).

We can also miss accounting for a Limit node when Gather or Gather Merge
is beneath it, because it can finish the execution before shutting down
such nodes. So we allow a Limit node to shut down the resources before it
completes the execution.

Before v10, we always searched ~/.pgpass using the host parameter,
and nothing else, to match to the "hostname" field of ~/.pgpass.
(However, null host or host matching DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR was replaced by
"localhost".) In v10, this got broken by commit 274bb2b38, repaired by
commit bdac9836d, and broken again by commit 7b02ba62e; in the code
actually shipped, we'd search with hostaddr if both that and host were
specified --- though oddly, *not* if only hostaddr were specified.
Since this is directly contrary to the documentation, and not
backwards-compatible, it's clearly a bug.
However, the change wasn't totally without justification, even though it
wasn't done quite right, because the pre-v10 behavior has arguably been
buggy since we added hostaddr. If hostaddr is specified and host isn't,
the pre-v10 code will search ~/.pgpass for "localhost", and ship that
password off to a server that most likely isn't local at all. That's
unhelpful at best, and could be a security breach at worst.
Therefore, rather than just revert to that old behavior, let's define
the behavior as "search with host if provided, else with hostaddr if
provided, else search for localhost". (As before, a host name matching
DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR is replaced by localhost.) This matches the
behavior of the actual connection code, so that we don't pick up an
inappropriate password; and it allows useful searches to happen when
only hostaddr is given.
While we're messing around here, ensure that empty elements within a
host or hostaddr list select the same behavior as a totally-empty
field would; for instance "host=a,,b" is equivalent to "host=a,/tmp,b"
if DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR is /tmp. Things worked that way in some cases
already, but not consistently so, which contributed to the confusion
about what key ~/.pgpass would get searched with.
Update documentation accordingly, and also clarify some nearby text.
Back-patch to v10 where the host/hostaddr list functionality was
introduced.
