62d2caed62 Handle spaces in OpenSSL install location for MSVC
First, make sure that the .exe name is quoted when trying to get the
version number. Also, don't quote the lib name for using in the project
files if it's already been quoted. This second change applies to all
libraries, not just OpenSSL.

This has clearly been broken forever, so backpatch to all live branches.

2da8e56db3 Improve handling of NULLs in KNN-GiST and KNN-SP-GiST
This commit improves subject in two ways:

 * It removes ugliness of 02f90879e7, which stores distance values and null
   flags in two separate arrays after GISTSearchItem struct.  Instead we pack
   both distance value and null flag in IndexOrderByDistance struct.  Alignment
   overhead should be negligible, because we typically deal with at most few
   "col op const" expressions in ORDER BY clause.
 * It fixes handling of "col op NULL" expression in KNN-SP-GiST.  Now, these
   expression are not passed to support functions, which can't deal with them.
   Instead, NULL result is implicitly assumed.  It future we may decide to
   teach support functions to deal with NULL arguments, but current solution is
   bugfix suitable for backpatch.

9b9f0d7904 Expand properly list of TAP tests used for prove in vcregress.pl
Depending on the system used, t/*.pl may not be expanded into a list of
tests which can be consumed by prove when attempting to run TAP tests on
a given path.  Fix that by using glob() directly in the script, to make
sure that a complete list of tests is provided.  This has not proved to
be an issue with MSVC as the list was properly expanded, but it is on
Linux with perl's system().

This is extracted from a larger patch.

a559805597 Add support for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and newer versions in MSVC scripts
Up to now, the MSVC build scripts are able to support only one fixed
version of OpenSSL, and they lacked logic to detect the version of
OpenSSL a given compilation of Postgres is linking to (currently 1.0.2,
the latest LTS of upstream which will be EOL'd at the end of 2019).

This commit adds more logic to detect the version of OpenSSL used by a
build and makes use of it to add support for compilation with OpenSSL
1.1.0 which requires a new set of compilation flags to work properly.

The supported OpenSSL installers have changed their library layer with
various library renames with the upgrade to 1.1.0, making the logic a
bit more complicated.  The scripts are now able to adapt to the new
world order.

c44e9bc3a1 In the pg_upgrade test suite, don't write to src/test/regress.
When this suite runs installcheck, redirect file creations from
src/test/regress to src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/regress.  This closes a
race condition in "make -j check-world".  If the pg_upgrade suite wrote
to a given src/test/regress/results file in parallel with the regular
src/test/regress invocation writing it, a test failed spuriously.  Even
without parallelism, in "make -k check-world", the suite finishing
second overwrote the other's regression.diffs.  This revealed test
"largeobject" assuming @abs_builddir@ is getcwd(), so fix that, too.

Buildfarm client REL_10, released fifty-four days ago, supports saving
regression.diffs from its new location.  When an older client reports a
pg_upgradeCheck failure, it will no longer include regression.diffs.

6d81e3c652 Consistently test for in-use shared memory.
postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in
postmaster.pid, exiting if that segment matches the current data
directory and has an attached process.  When the postmaster.pid file was
missing, a starting postmaster used weaker checks.  Change to use the
same checks in both scenarios.  This increases the chance of a startup
failure, in lieu of data corruption, if the DBA does "kill -9 `head -n1
postmaster.pid` && rm postmaster.pid && pg_ctl -w start".  A postmaster
will no longer stop if shmat() of an old segment fails with EACCES.  A
postmaster will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data
directories.  That's good for production, but it's bad for integration
tests that crash a postmaster and immediately delete its data directory.
Such a test now leaks a segment indefinitely.  No "make check-world"
test does that.  win32_shmem.c already avoided all these problems.  In
9.6 and later, enhance PostgresNode to facilitate testing.  Back-patch
to 9.4 (all supported versions).

6831aba29f Revert "Add valgrind suppressions for wcsrtombs optimizations"
This reverts commit 5b16a35354.

Per discussion, it's not desirable to add valgrind suppressions for
outside our own code base (e.g. glibc in this case), especially when
the suppressions may be platform-specific. There are better ways to
deal with that, e.g. by providing local suppressions.

5b16a35354 Add valgrind suppressions for wcsrtombs optimizations
wcsrtombs (called through wchar2char from common functions like lower,
upper, etc.) uses various optimizations that may look like access to
uninitialized data, triggering valgrind reports.

For example AVX2 instructions load data in 256-bit chunks, and  gconv
does something similar with 32-bit chunks.  This is faster than accessing
the bytes one by one, and the uninitialized part of the buffer is not
actually used. So suppress the bogus reports.

The exact stack depends on possible optimizations - it might be AVX, SSE
(as in the report by Aleksander Alekseev) or something else. Hence the
last frame is wildcarded, to deal with this.

Backpatch all the way back to 9.4.

c74f48a4ec Prevent accidental linking of system-supplied copies of libpq.so etc.
Back-patch commit dddfc4cb2, which broke LDFLAGS and related Makefile
variables into two parts, one for within-build-tree library references and
one for external libraries, to ensure that the order of -L flags has all
of the former before all of the latter.  This turns out to fix a problem
recently noted on buildfarm member peripatus, that we attempted to
incorporate code from libpgport.a into a shared library.  That will fail on
platforms that are sticky about putting non-PIC code into shared libraries.
(It's quite surprising we hadn't seen such failures before, since the code
in question has been like that for a long time.)

I think that peripatus' problem could have been fixed with just a subset
of this patch; but since the previous issue of accidentally linking to the
wrong copy of a Postgres shlib seems likely to bite people in the field,
let's just back-patch the whole change.  Now that commit dddfc4cb2 has
survived some beta testing, I'm less afraid to back-patch it than I was
at the time.

This also fixes undesired inclusion of "-DFRONTEND" in pg_config's CPPFLAGS
output (in 9.6 and up) and undesired inclusion of "-L../../src/common" in
its LDFLAGS output (in all supported branches).

Back-patch to v10 and older branches; this is already in v11.

fda3e65786 Fix up ecpg's configuration so it handles "long long int" in MSVC builds.
Although configure-based builds correctly define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT when
appropriate (in both pg_config.h and ecpg_config.h), builds using the MSVC
scripts failed to do so.  This currently has no impact on the backend,
since it uses that symbol nowhere; but it does prevent ecpg from
supporting "long long int".  Fix that.

Also, adjust Solution.pm so that in the constructed ecpg_config.h file,
the "#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)" covers only the LONG_LONG_INT-related
#defines, not the whole file.  AFAICS this was a thinko on somebody's
part: ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY should always be defined in Windows builds,
and in branches using USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, the setting of that shouldn't
depend on the compiler version either.  If I'm wrong, I imagine the
buildfarm will say so.

10d598354a Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.
This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the
connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects.  Today,
a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take
control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL
functions under the client identity, often a superuser.  This is
exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE
privilege on schema "public".

This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like
pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump().  If they reach code
bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been
selected to create in" errors might appear.  Users may fix such errors
by schema-qualifying affected names.  After upgrading, consider watching
server logs for these errors.

The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for
example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint.  That
now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still
performs a checkpoint.

e2cc65050b MSVC 2012+: Permit linking to 32-bit, MinGW-built libraries.
Notably, this permits linking to the 32-bit Perl binaries advertised on
perl.org, namely Strawberry Perl and ActivePerl.  This has a side effect
of permitting linking to binaries built with obsolete MSVC versions.

By default, MSVC 2012 and later require a "safe exception handler table"
in each binary.  MinGW-built, 32-bit DLLs lack the relevant exception
handler metadata, so linking to them failed with error LNK2026.  Restore
the semantics of MSVC 2010, which omits the table from a given binary if
some linker input lacks metadata.  This has no effect on 64-bit builds
or on MSVC 2010 and earlier.  Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported

9b5c99790e MSVC: Test whether 32-bit Perl needs -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T.
Commits 5a5c2feca3 and
b5178c5d08 introduced support for modern
MSVC-built, 32-bit Perl, but they broke use of MinGW-built, 32-bit Perl
distributions like Strawberry Perl and modern ActivePerl.  Perl has no
robust means to report whether it expects a -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T ABI, so
test this.  Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

The chief alternative was a heuristic of adding -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T when
$Config{gccversion} is nonempty.  That banks on every gcc-built Perl
using the same ABI.  gcc could change its default ABI the way MSVC once
did, and one could build Perl with gcc and the non-default ABI.

The GNU make build system could benefit from a similar test, without
which it does not support MSVC-built Perl.  For now, just add a comment.
Most users taking the special step of building Perl with MSVC probably
build PostgreSQL with MSVC.

1d7a479d22 Further tweaks to compiler flags for PL/Perl on Windows.
It now emerges that we can only rely on Perl to tell us we must use
-D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T if it's Perl 5.13.4 or later.  For older versions,
revert to our previous practice of assuming we need that symbol in
all 32-bit Windows builds.  This is not ideal, but inquiring into
which compiler version Perl was built with seems far too fragile.
In any case, we had not previously had complaints about these old
Perl versions, so let's assume this is Good Enough.  (It's still
better than the situation ante commit 5a5c2feca, in that at least
the effects are confined to PL/Perl rather than the whole PG build.)

5a5c2feca3 Absorb -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T switch from Perl, if relevant.
Commit 3c163a7fc's original choice to ignore all #define symbols whose
names begin with underscore turns out to be too simplistic.  On Windows,
some Perl installations are built with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and we must
absorb that or we get the wrong result for sizeof(PerlInterpreter).

This effectively re-reverts commit ef58b87df, which injected that symbol
in a hacky way, making it apply to all of Postgres not just PL/Perl.
More significantly, it did so on *all* 32-bit Windows builds, even when
the Perl build to be used did not select this option; so that it fails
to work properly with some newer Perl builds.

By making this change, we would be introducing an ABI break in 32-bit
Windows builds; but fortunately we have not used type time_t in any
exported Postgres APIs in a long time.  So it should be OK, both for
PL/Perl itself and for third-party extensions, if an extension library
is built with a different _USE_32BIT_TIME_T setting than the core code.

Patch by me, based on research by Ashutosh Sharma and Robert Haas.
Back-patch to all supported branches, as commit 3c163a7fc was.

655727d93b Update RELEASE_CHANGES' example of branch name format.
We're planning to put an underscore before the major version number in
branch names for v10 and later.  Make sure the recipe in RELEASE_CHANGES
reflects that.

In passing, add a reminder to consider doing pgindent right before
the branch.

3c163a7fc7 PL/Perl portability fix: absorb relevant -D switches from Perl.
The Perl documentation is very clear that stuff calling libperl should
be built with the compiler switches shown by Perl's $Config{ccflags}.
We'd been ignoring that up to now, and mostly getting away with it,
but recent Perl versions contain ABI compatibility cross-checks that
fail on some builds because of this omission.  In particular the
sizeof(PerlInterpreter) can come out different due to some fields being
added or removed; which means we have a live ABI hazard that we'd better
fix rather than continuing to sweep it under the rug.

However, it still seems like a bad idea to just absorb $Config{ccflags}
verbatim.  In some environments Perl was built with a different compiler
that doesn't even use the same switch syntax.  -D switch syntax is pretty
universal though, and absorbing Perl's -D switches really ought to be
enough to fix the problem.

Furthermore, Perl likes to inject stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 into $Config{ccflags}, which affect libc ABIs on
platforms where they're relevant.  Adopting those seems dangerous too.
It's unclear whether a build wherein Perl and Postgres have different ideas
of sizeof(off_t) etc would work, or whether anyone would care about making
it work.  But it's dead certain that having different stdio ABIs in
core Postgres and PL/Perl will not work; we've seen that movie before.
Therefore, let's also ignore -D switches for symbols beginning with
underscore.  The symbols that we actually need to import should be the ones
mentioned in perl.h's PL_bincompat_options stanza, and none of those start
with underscore, so this seems likely to work.  (If it turns out not to
work everywhere, we could consider intersecting the symbols mentioned in
PL_bincompat_options with the -D switches.  But that will be much more
complicated, so let's try this way first.)

This will need to be back-patched, but first let's see what the
buildfarm makes of it.

Ashutosh Sharma, some adjustments by me

With this, "git clean -dnx" is clear after a "clean dist" following a

d363d42bb9 Use MINVALUE/MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED for range partition bounds.
Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list,
and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for
single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple
columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be
collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it
difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range
partitions in some cases.

Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to
represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above
respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if
one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound,
then the partitions are contiguous.

Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded
column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or
MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED
multiple times, which was needlessly verbose.

Note: Forces a post-PG 10 beta2 initdb.

Report by Amul Sul, original patch by Amit Langote with some
additional hacking by me.

2f7f45a64b MSVC: Don't link libpgcommon into pgcrypto.
Doing so was useful in 273c458a2b but
became obsolete when 818fd4a67d caused
postgres.exe to provide the relevant symbols.  No other loadable module
links to libpgcommon directly.

c95275fc20 Fix broken link-command-line ordering for libpgfeutils.
In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:

LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)

That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already.  That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils.  Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.

The correct way to do it is like this:

override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)

so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.

In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:

LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq

which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended.  This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.

In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:

override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)

even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture.  This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.

In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line.  This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.

It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.

Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced.  In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior
installation's copy of libpgfeutils.a and thereby fail to absorb a
minor-version bug fix.
