This addresses various corner cases in BackgroundPsql:
- On windows stdout and stderr may arrive out of order, leading to errors not
being reported, or attributed to the wrong statement.
To fix, emit the "query-separation banner" on both stdout and stderr and
wait for both.
- Very occasionally the "query-separation banner" would not get removed, because
we waited until the banner arrived, but then replaced the banner plus
newline.
To fix, wait for banner and newline.
- For interactive psql replacing $banner\n is not sufficient, interactive psql
outputs \r\n.
- For interactive psql, where commands are echoed to stdout, the \echo
command, rather than its output, would be matched.
This would sometimes lead to output from the prior query, or wait_connect(),
being returned in the next command.
This also affected wait_connect(), leading to sometimes sending queries to
psql before the connection actually was established.
While debugging these issues I also found that it's hard to know whether a
query separation banner was attributed to the right query. Make that easier by
counting the queries each BackgroundPsql instance has emitted and include the
number in the banner.
Also emit psql stdout/stderr in query() and wait_connect() as Test::More
notes, without that it's rather hard to debug some issues in CI and buildfarm.
As this can cause issues not just to-be-added tests, but also existing ones,
backpatch the fix to all supported versions.

This commit extends the constructor routine of BackgroundPsql.pm with a
new "wait" parameter. If set to 0, the routine returns without waiting
for psql to start, ready to consume input.
background_psql() in Cluster.pm gains the same "wait" parameter. The
default behavior is still to wait for psql to start. It becomes now
possible to not wait, giving to TAP scripts the possibility to perform
actions between a BackgroundPsql startup and its wait_connect() call.

Michael's original commit message:
A newline is not added at the end of an empty query result, causing the
banner of the hardcoded \echo to not be discarded. This would reflect
on scripts that expect an empty result by showing the "QUERY_SEPARATOR"
in the output returned back to the caller, which was confusing.
This commit changes BackgroundPsql::query() so as empty results are able
to work correctly, making the first newline before the banner optional,
bringing more flexibility.
Note that this change affects 037_invalid_database.pl, where three
queries generated an empty result, with the script relying on the data
from the hardcoded banner to exist in the expected output. These
queries are changed to use query_safe(), leading to a simpler script.
The author has also proposed a test in a different patch where empty
results would exist when using BackgroundPsql.

Coverity complained that we weren't doing that, and it's right.
This fix just makes fmtIdEnc() honor the general convention that OOM
causes a PQExpBuffer to become marked "broken", without any immediate
error. In the pretty-unlikely case that we actually did hit OOM here,
the end result would be to return an empty string to the caller,
probably resulting in invalid SQL syntax in an issued command (if
nothing else went wrong, which is even more unlikely). It's tempting
to throw an "out of memory" error if the buffer becomes broken, but
there's not a lot of point in doing that only here and not in hundreds
of other PQExpBuffer-using places in pg_dump and similar callers.
The whole issue could do with some non-time-crunched redesign, perhaps.
This is a followup to the fixes for CVE-2025-1094, and should be
included if cherry-picking those fixes.
Instead of dropping the trailing byte(s) of an invalid or incomplete
multibyte character, replace only the first byte with a known-invalid
sequence, and process the rest normally. This seems less likely to
confuse incautious callers than the behavior adopted in 5dc1e42b4.
While we're at it, adjust PQescapeStringInternal to produce at most
one bleat about invalid multibyte characters per string. This
matches the behavior of PQescapeInternal, and avoids the risk of
producing tons of repetitive junk if a long string is simply given
in the wrong encoding.

In 5dc1e42b4f I fixed bugs in various escape functions, unfortunately as part
of that I introduced a new bug in PQescapeLiteral()/PQescapeIdentifier(). The
bug is that I made PQescapeInternal() just use strlen(), rather than taking
the specified input length into account.
That's bad, because it can lead to including input that wasn't intended to be
included (in case len is shorter than null termination of the string) and
because it can lead to reading invalid memory if the input string is not null
terminated.
Expand test_escape to this kind of bug:
a) for escape functions with length support, append data that should not be
escaped and check that it is not
b) add valgrind requests to detect access of bytes that should not be touched

We need to tell fmtId() what encoding to assume, but this function
doesn't know that. Fortunately we can fix that without changing the
function's API, because we can just use SQL_ASCII. That's because
database names in connection requests are effectively binary not text:
no encoding-aware processing will happen on them.
This fixes XversionUpgrade failures seen in the buildfarm. The

As highlighted by the prior commit, writing correct escape functions is less
trivial than one might hope.
This test module tries to verify that different escaping functions behave
reasonably. It e.g. tests:
- Invalidly encoded input to an escape function leads to invalidly encoded
output
- Trailing incomplete multi-byte characters are handled sensibly
- Escaped strings are parsed as single statement by psql's parser (which
derives from the backend parser)
There are further tests that would be good to add. But even in the current

Previously invalidly encoded input to various escaping functions could lead to
the escaped string getting incorrectly parsed by psql. To be safe, escaping
functions need to ensure that neither invalid nor incomplete multi-byte
characters can be used to "escape" from being quoted.
Functions which can report errors now return an error in more cases than
before. Functions that cannot report errors now replace invalid input bytes
with a byte sequence that cannot be used to escape the quotes and that is
guaranteed to error out when a query is sent to the server.
The following functions are fixed by this commit:
- PQescapeLiteral()
- PQescapeIdentifier()
- PQescapeString()

smgrDoPendingSyncs had two distinct risks of integer overflow while
deciding which way to ensure durability of a newly-created relation.
First, it accumulated the total size of all forks in a variable of
type BlockNumber (uint32). While we restrict an individual fork's
size to fit in that, I don't believe there's such a restriction on
all of them added together. Second, it proceeded to multiply the
sum by BLCKSZ, which most certainly could overflow a uint32.
(The exact expression is total_blocks * BLCKSZ / 1024. The
compiler might choose to optimize that to total_blocks * 8,
which is not at quite as much risk of overflow as a literal
reading would be, but it's still wrong.)
If an overflow did occur it could lead to a poor choice to
shove a very large relation into WAL instead of fsync'ing it.
This wouldn't be fatal, but it could be inefficient.
Change total_blocks to uint64 which should be plenty, and
rearrange the comparison calculation to be overflow-safe.
I noticed this while looking for ramifications of the proposed
change in MAX_KILOBYTES. It's not entirely clear to me why
wal_skip_threshold is limited to MAX_KILOBYTES in the
first place, but in any case this code is unsafe regardless
of the range of wal_skip_threshold.

If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default,
the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted.
Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const
in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain
has a NOT NULL constraint. That's fine as far as it goes, but
there are two problems:
1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is
labeled with. It really should have the domain's base type/typmod,
since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output. This can
result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion
function (useless because it's being applied to a null). The
coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd
be better not to create it in the first place.
2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically,
eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree.
The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened,
so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss
preprocessing altogether.
This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion
and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row,
though they could be const-folded away in most cases. Worse, it
seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion
could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to
perform default-function-argument insertion). I'm not aware of
any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be
unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of
CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable.
Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went
back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13).
There are several places in the rewriter that are building null
domain constants the same way as preptlist.c. While those are
before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're
still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away
later, uselessly wasting cycles. Hence, make a utility routine
that all of these places can call to do it right.
Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the
generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some
of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

When running on Windows, canonicalize_path() converts '\' to '/'
to prevent confusing the Windows command processor. It was
doing that in a non-encoding-aware fashion; but in SJIS there
are valid two-byte characters whose second byte matches '\'.
So encoding corruption ensues if such a character is used in
the path.
We can fairly easily fix this if we know which encoding is
in use, but a lot of our utilities don't have much of a clue
about that. After some discussion we decided we'd settle for
fixing this only in psql, and assuming that its value of
client_encoding matches what the user is typing.
It seems hopeless to get the server to deal with the problematic
characters in database path names, so we'll just declare that
case to be unsupported. That means nothing need be done in
the server, nor in utility programs whose only contact with
file path names is for database paths. But psql frequently
deals with client-side file paths, so it'd be good if it
didn't mess those up.

This practice avoids possible problems caused by non-default psql
options, such as disabling AUTOCOMMIT.

The sizeof() call should reference buffer.data, because that's the
buffer we're reading data into, not the whole PGAlignedBuffer union.
This was introduced by 44cac93464, which replaced the simple buffer
with a PGAlignedBuffer field.
It's benign, because the buffer is the largest field of the union, so
the sizes are the same. But it's easy to trip over this in a patch, so
fix and backpatch. Commit 44cac93464 went into 12, but that's EOL.
