Consolidate directory and file create permissions for tools which work
with the PG data directory by adding a new module (common/file_perm.c)
that contains variables (pg_file_create_mode, pg_dir_create_mode) and
constants to initialize them (0600 for files and 0700 for directories).
Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the
original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG
directories).
Add tests to make sure permissions in PGDATA are set correctly by the
tools which modify the PG data directory.

This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause
specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in
the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to
benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have
appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE
columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans.
Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag
in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause.
In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples
(tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes
now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides
generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their
attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating
that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation.
The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special
handling of B-tree indexes for that.

This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without
the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it
off).
Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a
launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and
recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have
been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of
the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be
started.
This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so
the process works across replicated clusters.

This reworks how the tests to run are defined. Instead of having to
define all runs for all tests, we define those tests which should pass
(generally using one of the defined broad hashes), add in any which
should be specific for this test, and exclude any specific runs that
shouldn't pass for this test. This ends up removing some 4k+ lines
(more than half the file) but, more importantly, greatly simplifies the
way runs-to-be-tested are defined.
As discussed in the updated comments, for example, take the test which
does CREATE TABLE test_table. That CREATE TABLE should show up in all
'full' runs of pg_dump, except those cases where 'test_table' is
excluded, of course, and that's exactly how the test gets defined now
(modulo a few other related cases, like where we dump only that table,
or we dump the schema it's in, or we exclude the schema it's in):
like => {
%full_runs,
%dump_test_schema_runs,
only_dump_test_table => 1,
section_pre_data => 1, },
unlike => {
exclude_dump_test_schema => 1,
exclude_test_table => 1, }, },
Next, we no longer expect every run to be listed for every test. If a
run is listed in 'like' (directly or through a hash) then it's a 'like',
unless it's listed in 'unlike' in which case it's an 'unlike'. If it
isn't listed in either, then it's considered an 'unlike' automatically.
Lastly, this changes the code to no longer use like/unlike but rather to
use 'ok()' with 'diag()' which allows much more control over what gets
spit out to the screen. Gone are the days of the entire dump being sent
to the console, now you'll just get a couple of lines for each failing
test which say the test that failed and the run that it failed on.
This covers both the pg_dump TAP tests in src/bin/pg_dump and those in
src/test/modules/test_pg_dump.
Hopefully fix the fact that these checks are unstable, by introducing
the corruption in a separate table from pg_class, and also explicitly
disable autovacuum on those tables. Also make sure PostgreSQL is
stopped while the corruption is introduced to avoid possible caching
effects.

We were being careless in some places about the order of -L switches in
link command lines, such that -L switches referring to external directories
could come before those referring to directories within the build tree.
This made it possible to accidentally link a system-supplied library, for
example /usr/lib/libpq.so, in place of the one built in the build tree.
Hilarity ensued, the more so the older the system-supplied library is.
To fix, break LDFLAGS into two parts, a sub-variable LDFLAGS_INTERNAL
and the main LDFLAGS variable, both of which are "recursively expanded"
so that they can be incrementally adjusted by different makefiles.
Establish a policy that -L switches for directories in the build tree
must always be added to LDFLAGS_INTERNAL, while -L switches for external
directories must always be added to LDFLAGS. This is sufficient to
ensure a safe search order. For simplicity, we typically also put -l
switches for the respective libraries into those same variables.
(Traditional make usage would have us put -l switches into LIBS, but
cleaning that up is a project for another day, as there's no clear
need for it.)
This turns out to also require separating SHLIB_LINK into two variables,
SHLIB_LINK and SHLIB_LINK_INTERNAL, with a similar rule about which
switches go into which variable. And likewise for PG_LIBS.
Although this change might appear to affect external users of pgxs.mk,
I think it doesn't; they shouldn't have any need to touch the _INTERNAL
variables.
In passing, tweak src/common/Makefile so that the value of CPPFLAGS
recorded in pg_config lacks "-DFRONTEND" and the recorded value of
LDFLAGS lacks "-L../../../src/common". Both of those things are
mistakes, apparently introduced during prior code rearrangements,
as old versions of pg_config don't print them. In general we don't
want anything that's specific to the src/common subdirectory to
appear in those outputs.
This is certainly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of field
complaints, I'm unsure whether it's worth the risk of back-patching.
In any case it seems wise to see what the buildfarm makes of it first.

checksums are enabled. If checksum failures are encountered, log them

Avoid storing the result of PQsocket() in a pgsocket variable; it's
declared as int, and the no-socket test is properly written as "x < 0"
not "x == PGINVALID_SOCKET". This accidentally had no bad effect
because we never got to init_slot() with a bad connection, but it's
still wrong.
Actually, it seems like we should avoid storing the result for a long
period at all. The function's not so expensive that it's worth avoiding,
and the existing coding technique here would fail if anyone tried to
PQreset the connection during the life of the program. Hence, just
re-call PQsocket every time we construct a select(2) mask.
Speaking of select(), GetIdleSlot imagined that it could compute the
select mask once and continue to use it over multiple calls to
select_loop(), which is pretty bogus since that would stomp on the
mask on return. This could only matter if the function's outer loop
iterated more than once, which is unlikely (it'd take some connection
receiving data, but not enough to complete its command). But if it
did happen, we'd acquire "tunnel vision" and stop watching the other
connections for query termination, with the effect of losing parallelism.
Another way in which GetIdleSlot could lose parallelism is that once
PQisBusy returns false, it would lock in on that connection and do
PQgetResult until that returns NULL; in some cases that could result
in blocking. (Perhaps this can never happen in vacuumdb due to the
limited set of commands that it can issue, but I'm not quite sure
of that, and even if true today it's not a future-proof assumption.)
Refactor the code to do that properly, so that it risks blocking in
PQgetResult only in cases where we need to wait anyway.
Another loss-of-parallelism problem, which *is* easily demonstrable,
is that any setup queries issued during prepare_vacuum_command() were
always issued on the last-to-be-created connection, whether or not
that was idle. Long-running operations on that connection thus
prevented issuance of additional operations on the other ones, except
in the limited cases where no preparatory query was needed. Instead,
wait till we've identified a free connection and use that one.
Also, avoid core dump due to undersized malloc request in the case
that no tables are identified to be vacuumed.
The bogus no-socket test was noted by CharSyam, the other problems
identified in my own code review. Back-patch to 9.5 where parallel
vacuumdb was introduced.

After processing the filemap to build the list of chunks that will be
fetched from the source to rewing the target server, it is possible that
a file which was previously processed is removed from the source. A
simple example of such an occurence is a WAL segment which gets recycled
on the target in-between. When the filemap is processed, files not
categorized as relation files are first truncated to prepare for its
full copy of which is going to be taken from the source, divided into a
set of junks. However, for a recycled WAL segment, this would result in
a segment which has a zero-byte size. With such an empty file,
post-rewind recovery thinks that records are saved but they are actually
not because of the truncation which happened when processing the
filemap, resulting in data loss.
In order to fix the problem, make sure that files which are found as
removed on the source when receiving chunks of them are as well deleted
on the target server for consistency.

For years, our makefiles have correctly observed that "there is no correct
way to write a rule that generates two files". However, what we did is to
provide empty rules that "generate" the secondary output files from the
primary one, and that's not right either. Depending on the details of
the creating process, the primary file might end up timestamped later than
one or more secondary files, causing subsequent make runs to consider the
secondary file(s) out of date. That's harmless in a plain build, since
make will just re-execute the empty rule and nothing happens. But it's
fatal in a VPATH build, since make will expect the secondary file to be
rebuilt in the build directory. This would manifest as "file not found"
failures during VPATH builds from tarballs, if we were ever unlucky enough
to ship a tarball with apparently out-of-date secondary files. (It's not
clear whether that has ever actually happened, but it definitely could.)
To ensure that secondary output files have timestamps >= their primary's,
change our makefile convention to be that we provide a "touch $@" action
not an empty rule. Also, make sure that this rule actually gets invoked
during a distprep run, else the hazard remains.
It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
In HEAD, I skipped the changes in src/backend/catalog/Makefile, because
those rules are due to get replaced soon in the bootstrap data format

If for some reason we fail to land that patch in v11, we'll need to
back-fill the changes in that one makefile from v10.

Code that prints out the contents of setconfig or proconfig arrays in
SQL format needs to handle GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables differently from
other ones, because for those variables, flatten_set_variable_args()
already applied a layer of quoting. The value can therefore safely
be printed as-is, and indeed must be, or flatten_set_variable_args()
will muck it up completely on reload. For all other GUC variables,
it's necessary and sufficient to quote the value as a SQL literal.
We'd recognized the need for this long ago, but mis-analyzed the
need slightly, thinking that all GUC_LIST_INPUT variables needed
the special treatment. That's actually wrong, since a valid value
of a LIST variable might include characters that need quoting,
although no existing variables accept such values.
More to the point, we hadn't made any particular effort to keep the
various places that deal with this up-to-date with the set of variables
that actually need special treatment, meaning that we'd do the wrong
thing with, for example, temp_tablespaces values. This affects dumping
of SET clauses attached to functions, as well as ALTER DATABASE/ROLE SET
commands.
In ruleutils.c we can fix it reasonably honestly by exporting a guc.c
function that allows discovering the flags for a given GUC variable.
But pg_dump doesn't have easy access to that, so continue the old method
of having a hard-wired list of affected variable names. At least we can
fix it to have just one list not two, and update the list to match
current reality.
A remaining problem with this is that it only works for built-in
GUC variables. pg_dump's list obvious knows nothing of third-party
extensions, and even the "ask guc.c" method isn't bulletproof since
the relevant extension might not be loaded. There's no obvious
solution to that, so for now, we'll just have to discourage extension
authors from inventing custom GUCs that need GUC_LIST_QUOTE.
This has been busted for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Historically, tab completion for functions has offered the names of
aggregates as well. This is essential in at least one context, namely
GRANT/REVOKE, because there is no GRANT ON AGGREGATE syntax. There

Commit fd1a421fe changed this query to disallow aggregates, but that

We might at some point tighten this up, but it'd require sorting through

Up to now we've not worried about whether psql's tab completion queries
would work against prior server versions. But since we support older
server versions in describe.c, we really ought to do so here as well.
Failing to take care of this not only leads to loss of tab-completion
service when using an older server, but risks aborting a user's open
transaction when we send an incompatible query to the server.
The recent changes in pg_proc.prokind are one reason to take this more
seriously now than before, and the proposed patch for completion after
SELECT needs some such capability as well.
Hence, create some infrastructure to allow selection of one of several
versions of a query depending on server version. For cases where we
just need to select one of several query strings, introduce VersionedQuery
and COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_QUERY(). Likewise extend the SchemaQuery
infrastructure to allow versioning of those.
I went ahead and fixed the prokind issues, to serve as an illustration
of how to use versioned SchemaQuery. To have some illustration of
VersionedQuery, change the support for completion of publication and
subscription names so that psql will not send sure-to-fail queries to
pre-v10 servers. There is much more that should be done to make tab
completion more friendly to older servers, but this commit is mainly
meant to get the infrastructure in place, so I stopped here.
