2021-12-10Check for STATUS_DELETE_PENDING on Windows.Thomas Munro
1. Update our open() wrapper to check for NT's STATUS_DELETE_PENDING and translate it to Unix-like errors. This is done with RtlGetLastNtStatus(), which is dynamically loaded from ntdll. A new file win32ntdll.c centralizes lookup of NT functions, in case we decide to add more in the future. 2. Remove non-working code that was trying to do something similar for stat(), and just reuse the open() wrapper code. As a side effect, stat() also gains resilience against "sharing violation" errors. 3. Since stat() is used very early in process startup, remove the requirement that the Win32 signal event has been created before pgwin32_open_handle() is reached. Instead, teach pg_usleep() to fall back to a non-interruptible sleep if reached before the signal event is available. This could be back-patched, but for now it's in master only. The problem has apparently been with us for a long time and generated only a few complaints. Proposed patches trigger it more often, which led to this investigation and fix.

2021-11-30Cope with cross-compiling when checking for a random-number source.Tom Lane
Commit 16f96c74d neglected to consider the possibility of cross-compiling, causing cross-compiles to fail at the configure stage unless you'd selected --with-openssl. Since we're now more or less assuming that /dev/urandom is available everywhere, it seems reasonable to assume that the cross-compile target has it too, rather than failing.

2021-11-29Replace random(), pg_erand48(), etc with a better PRNG API and algorithm.Tom Lane
Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG code. In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the algorithm again in future, should that become necessary. xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family, but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit, and it should be much more trustworthy. It's likely to be noticeably faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily, unlike with random(). It is not cryptographically strong, but neither are the functions it replaces.

2021-11-22Probe $PROVE not $PERL while checking for modules needed by TAP tests.Tom Lane
Normally "prove" and "perl" come from the same Perl installation, but we support the case where they don't (mainly because the MSys buildfarm animals need this). In that case, AX_PROG_PERL_MODULES is completely the wrong thing to use, because it's checking what "perl" has. Instead, make a little TAP test script including the required modules, and run that under "prove". We don't need ax_prog_perl_modules.m4 at all after this change, so remove it. Back-patch to all supported branches, for the buildfarm's benefit. (In v10, this also back-patches the effects of commit 264eb03aa.)

2021-11-18Use appropriate -Wno-warning switches when compiling bitcode.Tom Lane
We use "clang" to compile bitcode files for LLVM inlining. That might be different from the build's main C compiler, so it needs its own set of compiler flags. To simplify configure, we don't bother adding any -W switches to that flag set; there's little need since the main build will show us any warnings. However, if we don't want to see unwanted warnings, we still have to add any -Wno-warning switches we'd normally use with clang. This escaped notice before commit 9ff47ea41, which tried to add -Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro; buildfarm animals using mismatched CC and CLANG still showed those warnings. I'm not sure why we never saw any effects from the lack of -Wno-unused-command-line-argument (maybe that's only activated by -Wall?). clang does not currently support -Wno-format-truncation or -Wno-stringop-truncation, although in the interests of future-proofing and consistency I included tests for those.

2021-11-11Clean up compilation warnings coming from PL/Perl with clang-12~Michael Paquier
clang-12 has introduced -Wcompound-token-split-by-macro, that is causing a large amount of warnings when building PL/Perl because of its interactions with upstream Perl. This commit adds one -Wno to CFLAGS at ./configure time if the flag is supported by the compiler to silence all those warnings. Upstream perl has fixed this issue, but it is going to take some time before this is spread across the buildfarm, and we have noticed that some animals would be useful with an extra -Werror to help with the detection of incorrect placeholders (see b0cf544), dangomushi being one.

Per the discussion around 3eb1f4d09, let's have configure verify that the available IPC::Run version is at least 0.79, the agreed-on minimum. It seems unlikely that this could bite anybody anymore, but it's useful as documentation. (Based on that, there's little need to back-patch.)

Also we now have reports that the test program itself fails under ThreadSanitizer.

2021-07-15Portability fixes for sigwait.Thomas Munro
Build farm animals running ancient HPUX and Solaris have a non-standard sigwait() from draft versions of POSIX, so they didn't like commit 7c09d279. To avoid the problem in general, only try to use sigwait() if it's declared by <signal.h> and matches the expected declaration. To select the modern declaration on Solaris (even in non-threaded programs), move -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS into the right place to affect all translation units. Also fix the error checking.

2021-07-12Probe for preadv/pwritev in a more macOS-friendly way.Tom Lane
Apple's mechanism for dealing with functions that are available in only some OS versions confuses AC_CHECK_FUNCS, and therefore AC_REPLACE_FUNCS. We can use AC_CHECK_DECLS instead, so long as we enable -Werror=unguarded-availability-new. This allows people compiling for macOS to control whether or not preadv/pwritev are used by setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, rather than supplying a back-rev SDK.

The separate libldap_r is gone and libldap itself is now always thread-safe. Unfortunately there seems no easy way to tell by inspection whether libldap is thread-safe, so we have to take it on faith that libldap is thread-safe if there's no libldap_r.

2021-04-03Refactor HMAC implementationsMichael Paquier
Similarly to the cryptohash implementations, this refactors the existing HMAC code into a single set of APIs that can be plugged with any crypto libraries PostgreSQL is built with (only OpenSSL currently). If there is no such libraries, a fallback implementation is available. Those new APIs are designed similarly to the existing cryptohash layer, so there is no real new design here, with the same logic around buffer bound checks and memory handling. HMAC has a dependency on cryptohashes, so all the cryptohash types supported by cryptohash{_openssl}.c can be used with HMAC. This refactoring is an advantage mainly for SCRAM, that included its own implementation of HMAC with SHA256 without relying on the existing crypto libraries even if PostgreSQL was built with their support. This code has been tested on Windows and Linux, with and without OpenSSL, across all the versions supported on HEAD from 1.1.1 down to 1.0.1. I have also checked that the implementations are working fine using some sample results, a custom extension of my own, and doing cross-checks across different major versions with SCRAM with the client and the backend.

2021-03-22Remove useless configure probe for <lz4/lz4.h>.Tom Lane
This seems to have been just copied-and-pasted from some other header checks. But our C code is entirely unprepared to support such a header name, so it's only wasting cycles to look for it. If we did need to support it, some #ifdefs would be required. (A quick trawl at codesearch.debian.net finds some packages that reference lz4/lz4.h; but they use *only* that spelling, and appear to be intending to reference their own copy rather than a system-level installation of liblz4. There's no evidence of freestanding installations that require this spelling.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/457962.1616362509@sss.pgh.pa.us
2021-03-21Bring configure support for LZ4 up to snuff.Tom Lane
It's not okay to just shove the pkg_config results right into our build flags, for a couple different reasons: * This fails to maintain the separation between CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS, as well as that between LDFLAGS and LIBS. (The CPPFLAGS angle is, I believe, the reason for warning messages reported when building with MacPorts' liblz4.) * If pkg_config emits anything other than -I/-D/-L/-l switches, it's highly unlikely that we want to absorb those. That'd be more likely to break the build than do anything helpful. (Even the -D case is questionable; but we're doing that for libxml2, so I kept it.) Also, it's not okay to skip doing an AC_CHECK_LIB probe, as evidenced by recent build failure on topminnow; that should have been caught at configure time. Model fixes for this on configure's libxml2 support. It appears that somebody overlooked an autoheader run, too. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20210119190720.GL8560@telsasoft.com
2021-03-19Provide recovery_init_sync_method=syncfs.Thomas Munro
Since commit 2ce439f3 we have opened every file in the data directory and called fsync() at the start of crash recovery. This can be very slow if there are many files, leading to field complaints of systems taking minutes or even hours to begin crash recovery. Provide an alternative method, for Linux only, where we call syncfs() on every possibly different filesystem under the data directory. This is equivalent, but avoids faulting in potentially many inodes from potentially slow storage. The new mode comes with some caveats, described in the documentation, so the default value for the new setting is "fsync", preserving the older behavior.

2021-03-19Allow configurable LZ4 TOAST compression.Robert Haas
There is now a per-column COMPRESSION option which can be set to pglz (the default, and the only option in up until now) or lz4. Or, if you like, you can set the new default_toast_compression GUC to lz4, and then that will be the default for new table columns for which no value is specified. We don't have lz4 support in the PostgreSQL code, so to use lz4 compression, PostgreSQL must be built --with-lz4. In general, TOAST compression means compression of individual column values, not the whole tuple, and those values can either be compressed inline within the tuple or compressed and then stored externally in the TOAST table, so those properties also apply to this feature. Prior to this commit, a TOAST pointer has two unused bits as part of the va_extsize field, and a compessed datum has two unused bits as part of the va_rawsize field. These bits are unused because the length of a varlena is limited to 1GB; we now use them to indicate the compression type that was used. This means we only have bit space for 2 more built-in compresison types, but we could work around that problem, if necessary, by introducing a new vartag_external value for any further types we end up wanting to add. Hopefully, it won't be too important to offer a wide selection of algorithms here, since each one we add not only takes more coding but also adds a build dependency for every packager. Nevertheless, it seems worth doing at least this much, because LZ4 gets better compression than PGLZ with less CPU usage. It's possible for LZ4-compressed datums to leak into composite type values stored on disk, just as it is for PGLZ. It's also possible for LZ4-compressed attributes to be copied into a different table via SQL commands such as CREATE TABLE AS or INSERT .. SELECT. It would be expensive to force such values to be decompressed, so PostgreSQL has never done so. For the same reasons, we also don't force recompression of already-compressed values even if the target table prefers a different compression method than was used for the source data. These architectural decisions are perhaps arguable but revisiting them is well beyond the scope of what seemed possible to do as part of this project. However, it's relatively cheap to recompress as part of VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, so this commit adjusts those commands to do so, if the configured compression method of the table happens not to match what was used for some column value stored therein. Dilip Kumar. The original patches on which this work was based were written by Ildus Kurbangaliev, and those were patches were based on even earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, but the design has since changed very substantially, since allow a potentially large number of compression methods that could be added and dropped on a running system proved too problematic given some of the architectural issues mentioned above; the choice of which specific compression method to add first is now different; and a lot of the code has been heavily refactored. More recently, Justin Przyby helped quite a bit with testing and reviewing and this version also includes some code contributions from him.

2021-01-23Introduce SHA1 implementations in the cryptohash infrastructureMichael Paquier
With this commit, SHA1 goes through the implementation provided by OpenSSL via EVP when building the backend with it, and uses as fallback implementation KAME which was located in pgcrypto and already shaped for an integration with a set of init, update and final routines. Structures and routines have been renamed to make things consistent with the fallback implementations of MD5 and SHA2. uuid-ossp has used for ages a shortcut with pgcrypto to fetch a copy of SHA1 if needed. This was built depending on the build options within ./configure, so this cleans up some code and removes the build dependency between pgcrypto and uuid-ossp.

2020-12-30Use setenv() in preference to putenv().Tom Lane
Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However, POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed: setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy. This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv() with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv() wannabees. Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought to match real-world practice. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2065122.1609212051@sss.pgh.pa.us

2020-11-30Remove configure-time probe for DocBook DTD.Tom Lane
Checking for DocBook being installed was valuable when we were on the OpenSP docs toolchain, because that was rather hard to get installed fully. Nowadays, as long as you have xmllint and xsltproc installed, you're good, because those programs will fetch the DocBook files off the net at need. Moreover, testing this at configure time means that a network access may well occur whether or not you have any interest in building the docs later. That can be slow (typically 2 or 3 seconds, though much higher delays have been reported), and it seems not very nice to be doing an off-machine access without warning, too. Hence, drop the PGAC_CHECK_DOCBOOK probe, and adjust related documentation. Without that macro, there's not much left of config/docbook.m4 at all, so I just removed it.

2020-11-20On macOS, use -isysroot in link steps as well as compile steps.Tom Lane
We previously put the -isysroot switch only into CPPFLAGS, theorizing that it was only needed to find the right copies of include files. However, it seems that we also need to use it while linking programs, to find the right stub ".tbd" files for libraries. We got away without that up to now, but apparently that was mostly luck. It may also be that failures are only observed when the Xcode version is noticeably out of sync with the host macOS version; the case that's prompting action right now is that builds fail when using latest Xcode (12.2) on macOS Catalina, even though it's fine on Big Sur. Hence, add -isysroot to LDFLAGS as well. (It seems that the more common practice is to put it in CFLAGS, whence it'd be included at both compile and link steps. However, we can't mess with CFLAGS in the platform template file without confusing configure's logic for choosing default CFLAGS.) This should be back-patched, but first let's see if the buildfarm likes it on HEAD.

2020-10-21Remove the option to build thread_test.c outside configure.Tom Lane
Theoretically one could go into src/test/thread and build/run this program there. In practice, that hasn't worked since 96bf88d52, and probably much longer on some platforms (likely including just the sort of hoary leftovers where this test might be of interest). While it wouldn't be too hard to repair the breakage, the fact that nobody has noticed for two years shows that there is zero usefulness in maintaining this build pathway. Let's get rid of it and decree that thread_test.c is *only* meant to be built/used in configure. Given that decision, it makes sense to put thread_test.c under config/ and get rid of src/test/thread altogether, so that's what I did. In passing, update src/test/README, which had been ignored by some not-so-recent additions of subdirectories. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/227659.1603041612@sss.pgh.pa.us
2020-10-09Fix our Windows stat() emulation to handle file sizes > 4GB.Tom Lane
Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to Windows' struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field. Instead of relying on native stat(), use GetFileInformationByHandle(). This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather slipshod emulations of stat(). We still need to jump through hoops to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-( Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into its own file, win32stat.c. Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(), rather than treating it identically to stat()?

2020-09-07Split Makefile symbol CFLAGS_VECTOR into two symbols.Tom Lane
Replace CFLAGS_VECTOR with CFLAGS_UNROLL_LOOPS and CFLAGS_VECTORIZE, allowing us to distinguish whether we want to apply -funroll-loops, -ftree-vectorize, or both to a particular source file. Up to now the only consumer of the symbol has been checksum.c which wants both, so that there was no need to distinguish; but that's about to change.

2020-07-24Rename configure.in to configure.acPeter Eisentraut
The new name has been preferred by Autoconf for a long time. Future versions of Autoconf will warn about the old name. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/e796c185-5ece-8569-248f-dd3799701be1%402ndquadrant.com
