2022-08-13Remove configurability of PPC spinlock assembly code.Tom Lane
Assume that we can use LWARX hint flags and the LWSYNC instruction on any PPC machine. The check on the assembler's behavior was only needed for Apple's old assembler, which is no longer of interest now that we've de-supported all PPC-era versions of macOS (thanks to them not having clock_gettime()). Also, given an up-to-date assembler these instructions work even on Apple's old hardware. It seems quite unlikely that anyone would be interested in running current Postgres on PPC hardware that's so old as to not have these instructions. Hence, rip out associated configure test and manual configuration options, and just use the modernized instructions all the time. Also, update atomics/arch-ppc.h to use these instructions as well. (It was already using LWSYNC unconditionally in another place, providing further proof that nobody is using PG on hardware old enough to have a problem with that.)

2022-08-05Simplify replacement code for preadv and pwritev.Thomas Munro
preadv() and pwritev() are not standardized by POSIX, but appeared in NetBSD in 1999 and were adopted by at least OpenBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Linux, AIX, illumos and macOS. We don't use them much yet, but an active proposal uses them heavily. In 15, we had two replacement implementations for other OSes: one based on lseek() + -v function if available for true vector I/O, and the other based on a loop over p- function. The former would be an obstacle to hypothetical future multi-threaded code sharing file descriptors, while the latter would not, since commit cf112c12. Furthermore, the number of targeted systems that could benefit from the former's potential upside has dwindled to just one niche OS, since macOS added the functions and we de-supported HP-UX. That doesn't seem like a good trade-off. Therefore, drop the lseek()-based variant, and also the pg_ prefix now that the file position portability hazard is gone. At the time of writing, the only systems in our build farm that lack native preadv/pwritev and thus use fallback code are: * Solaris (but not illumos) * macOS before release 11.0 * Windows With this commit, the above systems will now use the *same* fallback code, the version that loops over pread()/pwrite(). Windows already used that (though a later proposal may include true vector I/O for Windows), so this decision really only affects Solaris, until it gets around to adding these system calls. Also remove some useless includes while here. Reviewed-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+hUKGJ3LHeP9w5Fgzdr4G8AnEtJ=z=p6hGDEm4qYGEUX5B6fQ@mail.gmail.com

2022-07-18Default to hidden visibility for extension libraries where possibleAndres Freund
Until now postgres built extension libraries with global visibility, i.e. exporting all symbols. On the one platform where that behavior is not natively available, namely windows, we emulate it by analyzing the input files to the shared library and exporting all the symbols therein. Not exporting all symbols is actually desirable, as it can improve loading speed, reduces the likelihood of symbol conflicts and can improve intra extension library function call performance. It also makes the non-windows builds more similar to windows builds. Additionally, with meson implementing the export-all-symbols behavior for windows, turns out to be more verbose than desirable. This patch adds support for hiding symbols by default and, to counteract that, explicit symbol visibility annotation for compilers that support __attribute__((visibility("default"))) and -fvisibility=hidden. That is expected to be most, if not all, compilers except msvc (for which we already support explicit symbol export annotations). Now that extension library symbols are explicitly exported, we don't need to export all symbols on windows anymore, hence remove that behavior from src/tools/msvc. The supporting code can't be removed, as we still need to export all symbols from the main postgres binary.

2022-05-10configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.Tom Lane
In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe. But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r in libpq. Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to occur in practice. Per report from Peter Eisentraut. Back-patch to all supported branches.

The test for lz4.h used AC_CHECK_HEADERS, but nothing was using the resulting symbol HAVE_LZ4_H. Change this to use AC_CHECK_HEADER instead. This was probably an oversight, seeing that the nearby similar tests do this correctly.
2022-04-01Set minimum required version of zstd as 1.4.0.Tom Lane
It emerges that our new zstd code depends on features that were not present (or at least not enabled by default) in zstd before 1.4.0. That's already four years old, so there's little reason to try to make our code work with something older. Instead make configure check that zstd is at least 1.4.0, and document this requirement.

2022-04-01libpq: Allow IP address SANs in server certificatesPeter Eisentraut
The current implementation supports exactly one IP address in a server certificate's Common Name, which is brittle (the strings must match exactly). This patch adds support for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in a server's Subject Alternative Names. Per discussion on-list: - If the client's expected host is an IP address, we allow fallback to the Subject Common Name if an iPAddress SAN is not present, even if a dNSName is present. This matches the behavior of NSS, in violation of the relevant RFCs. - We also, counter-intuitively, match IP addresses embedded in dNSName SANs. From inspection this appears to have been the behavior since the SAN matching feature was introduced in acd08d76. - Unlike NSS, we don't map IPv4 to IPv6 addresses, or vice-versa.

2022-03-25Refactor DLSUFFIX handlingPeter Eisentraut
Move DLSUFFIX from makefiles into header files for all platforms. Move the DLSUFFIX assignment from src/makefiles/ to src/templates/, have configure read it, and then substitute it into Makefile.global and pg_config.h. This avoids the need for all makefile rules that need it to locally set CPPFLAGS. It also resolves an inconsistent setup between the two Windows build systems.

2022-03-23configure: check for dlsym instead of dlopen.Andres Freund
When building with sanitizers the sanitizer library provides dlopen, but not dlsym(), making configure think that -ldl isn't needed. Just checking for dlsym() ought to suffice, hard to see dlsym() being provided without dlopen() also being provided. Backpatch to all branches, for the same reasons as 46ab07ffda9.

2022-02-20Ensure the right perl is used for TAP tests on msysAndrew Dunstan
In particular, perl with $Config{osname} = msys should only be used if the build target is msys (which is currently buildable but not usable). For builds targeted at native Windows, perl from the ucrt64 toolchain is suitable. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220216210141.5glt5isg5qtwty4c@alap3.anarazel.de

2022-02-18Suppress warning about stack_base_ptr with late-model GCC.Tom Lane
GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug); but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different, in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference. Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain. (Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12 is much more widespread.)

2022-02-14Add ./configure check for "lz4" commandMichael Paquier
Some environments may compile with --with-lz4 while the command "lz4" goes missing, causing two failures in the TAP tests of pg_verifybackup (008_untar.pl and 010_client_untar.pl) as the code assumed that the command always existed with a hardcoded value in src/Makefile.global. Rather than this method, this adds a ./configure check based on PGAC_PATH_PROGS() to find automatically the command and get an absolute path to it. Both tests need to be adjusted for the case where the command does not exist, actually, as Makefile.global would set now LZ4 to an empty value in this case. The TAP tests of pg_receivewal already do that. Per report from buildfarm member copperhead, as an effect of dab2984. The origin of the failure is actually babbbb5 that did not centralize the check for the existence of a "lz4" command at ./configure to shave a few cycles. Note that one just needs to tweak an environment to move "lz4" out of the way to reproduce the problem, which is what I did to test this change. Per discussion with Robert Haas, Tom Lane, Andres Freund and myself. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/Ygc51WVAFGocSu4h@paquier.xyz
2022-02-09Test honestly for <sys/signalfd.h>.Tom Lane
Commit 6a2a70a02 supposed that any platform having <sys/epoll.h> would also have <sys/signalfd.h>. It turns out there are still a few people using platforms where that's not so, so we'd better make a separate configure probe for it. But since it took this long to notice, I'm content with the decision to not have a separate code path for epoll-only machines; we'll just fall back to using poll() for these stragglers. Per gripe from Gabriela Serventi. Back-patch to v14 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAHOHWE-JjJDfcYuLAAEO7Jk07atFAU47z8TzHzg71gbC0aMy=g@mail.gmail.com
