2021-07-09Un-break AIX build.Tom Lane
In commit d0a02bdb8, I'd supposed that uniformly probing for ldap_bind would make the intent clearer. However, that seems not to work on AIX, for obscure reasons (maybe it's a macro there?). Revert to the former behavior of probing ldap_simple_bind for thread-safe cases and ldap_bind otherwise. Per buildfarm member hoverfly.

2021-07-09Update configure's probe for libldap to work with OpenLDAP 2.5.Tom Lane
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. That should be okay, as it appears that libldap_r was a standard part of the installation going back at least 20 years. Report and patch by Adrian Ho. Back-patch to all supported branches, since people might try to build any of them with a newer OpenLDAP. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17083-a19190d9591946a7@postgresql.org

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. Note that this will help with the refactoring of HMAC, as pgcrypto offers the option to use MD5, SHA1 or SHA2, so only the second option was missing to make that possible.

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
2020-12-10Fix compilation of uuid-osspMichael Paquier
This module had a dependency on pgcrypto's md5.c that got removed by b67b57a. Instead of the code from pgcrypto, this code can just use the new cryptohash routines for MD5 as a drop-in replacement, so let's just do this switch. This has also the merit to simplify a bit the compilation of uuid-ossp. This requires --with-uuid to be reproduced, and I have used e2fs as a way to reproduce the failure, then test this commit.

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

2020-07-14Fix -Wcast-function-type warningsPeter Eisentraut
Three groups of issues needed to be addressed: load_external_function() and related functions returned PGFunction, even though not necessarily all callers are looking for a function of type PGFunction. Since these functions are really just wrappers around dlsym(), change to return void * just like dlsym(). In dynahash.c, we are using strlcpy() where a function with a signature like memcpy() is expected. This should be safe, as the new comment there explains, but the cast needs to be augmented to avoid the warning. In PL/Python, methods all need to be cast to PyCFunction, per Python API, but this now runs afoul of these warnings. (This issue also exists in core CPython.) To fix the second and third case, we add a new type pg_funcptr_t that is defined specifically so that gcc accepts it as a special function pointer that can be cast to any other function pointer without the warning.

2020-03-28Enable Unix-domain sockets support on WindowsPeter Eisentraut
As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on Windows. But it's not automatically detected by configure because it looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that. So we just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure result. Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard location. In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows. Adding support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line or with a run-time test. The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix. The previous code passed "localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether. We instead need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect. The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on Windows. This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c. The TAP tests don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

2020-03-17Use pkg-config, if available, to locate libxml2 during configure.Tom Lane
If pkg-config is installed and knows about libxml2, use its information rather than asking xml2-config. Otherwise proceed as before. This patch allows "configure --with-libxml" to succeed on platforms that have pkg-config but not xml2-config, which is likely to soon become a typical situation. The old mechanism can be forced by setting XML2_CONFIG explicitly (hence, build processes that were already doing so will certainly not need adjustment). Also, it's now possible to set XML2_CFLAGS and XML2_LIBS explicitly to override both programs. There is a small risk of this breaking existing build processes, if there are multiple libxml2 installations on the machine and pkg-config disagrees with xml2-config about which to use. The only case where that seems really likely is if a builder has tried to select a non-default xml2-config by putting it early in his PATH rather than setting XML2_CONFIG. Plan to warn against that in the minor release notes. Back-patch to v10; before that we had no pkg-config infrastructure, and it doesn't seem worth adding it for this.

What we need for this is having the major version number and the minor version number as separate integer symbols. Both configure and Solution.pm already have that logic, because they compute PG_VERSION_NUM. So we just keep all the logic there now.

2020-02-21Assume that we have signed integral types and flexible array members.Tom Lane
These compiler features are required by C99, so remove the configure probes for them. This is part of a series of commits to get rid of no-longer-relevant configure checks and dead src/port/ code. I'm committing them separately to make it easier to back out individual changes if they prove less portable than I expect. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15379.1582221614@sss.pgh.pa.us
2020-02-21Assume that we have <wchar.h>.Tom Lane
Windows has this, and so do all other live platforms according to the buildfarm; it's been required by POSIX since SUSv2. So remove the configure probe and tests of HAVE_WCHAR_H. This is part of a series of commits to get rid of no-longer-relevant configure checks and dead src/port/ code.

2020-02-21Assume that we have utime() and <utime.h>.Tom Lane
These are required by POSIX since SUSv2, and no live platforms fail to provide them. On Windows, utime() exists and we bring our own <utime.h>, so we're good there too. So remove the configure probes and ad-hoc substitute code. We don't need to check for utimes() anymore either, since that was only used as a substitute. In passing, make the Windows build include <sys/utime.h> only where we need it, not everywhere. This is part of a series of commits to get rid of no-longer-relevant configure checks and dead src/port/ code.

2020-02-21Assume that we have isinf().Tom Lane
Windows has this, and so do all other live platforms according to the buildfarm, so remove the configure probe and src/port/ substitution. This also lets us get rid of some configure probes that existed only to support src/port/isinf.c. I kept the port.h hack to force using __builtin_isinf() on clang, though.

Windows has this, and so do all other live platforms according to the buildfarm, so remove the configure probe and src/port/ substitution. Keep the probe that detects whether _LARGEFILE_SOURCE has to be defined to get that, though ... that seems to be still relevant in some places.

2020-02-21Require stdint.hPeter Eisentraut
stdint.h belongs to the compiler (as opposed to inttypes.h), so by requiring a C99 compiler we can also require stdint.h unconditionally. Remove configure checks and other workarounds for it. This also removes a few steps in the required portability adjustments to the imported time zone code, which can be applied on the next import. When using GCC on a platform that is otherwise pre-C99, this will now require at least GCC 4.5, which is the first release that supplied a standard-conforming stdint.h if the native platform didn't have it.

2020-02-10Simplify passing of configure arguments to pg_configPeter Eisentraut
The previous system had configure put the value into the makefiles and then have the makefiles pass them to the build of pg_config. That was put in place when pg_config was a shell script. We can simplify that by having configure put the value into pg_config.h directly. This also makes the standard build system match how the MSVC build system already does it.
