Fix incorrect handling of lookahead constraints in pg_regprefix().
pg_regprefix was doing nothing with lookahead constraints, which would
be fine if it were the right kind of nothing, but it isn't: we have to
terminate our search for a fixed prefix, not just pretend the LACON arc
isn't there. Otherwise, if the current state has both a LACON outarc and a
single plain-color outarc, we'd falsely conclude that the color represents
an addition to the fixed prefix, and generate an extracted index condition
that restricts the indexscan too much. (See added regression test case.)
Terminating the search is conservative: we could traverse the LACON arc
(thus assuming that the constraint can be satisfied at runtime) and then
examine the outarcs of the linked-to state. But that would be a lot more

Improve memory-usage accounting in regular-expression compiler.
This code previously counted the number of NFA states it created, and
complained if a limit was exceeded, so as to prevent bizarre regex patterns
from consuming unreasonable time or memory. That's fine as far as it went,
but the code paid no attention to how many arcs linked those states. Since
regexes can be contrived that have O(N) states but will need O(N^2) arcs
after fixempties() processing, it was still possible to blow out memory,
and take a long time doing it too. To fix, modify the bookkeeping to count
space used by both states and arcs.
I did not bother with including the "color map" in the accounting; it
can only grow to a few megabytes, which is not a lot in comparison to
what we're allowing for states+arcs (about 150MB on 64-bit machines
or half that on 32-bit machines).
Looking at some of the larger real-world regexes captured in the Tcl
regression test suite suggests that the most that is likely to be needed
for regexes found in the wild is under 10MB, so I believe that the current
limit has enough headroom to make it okay to keep it as a hard-wired limit.
In connection with this, redefine REG_ETOOBIG as meaning "regular
expression is too complex"; the previous wording of "nfa has too many
states" was already somewhat inapropos because of the error code's use
for stack depth overrun, and it was not very user-friendly either.

Improve performance of pullback/pushfwd in regular-expression compiler.
The previous coding would create a new intermediate state every time it
wanted to interchange the ordering of two constraint arcs. Certain regex
features such as \Y can generate large numbers of parallel constraint arcs,

numbers of intermediate states. To improve matters, keep a list of
already-created intermediate states associated with the state currently
being considered by the outer loop; we can re-use such states to place all
the new arcs leading to the same destination or source.
I also took the trouble to redefine push() and pull() to have a less risky
API: they no longer delete any state or arc that the caller might possibly
have a pointer to, except for the specifically-passed constraint arc.

Fix regular-expression compiler to handle loops of constraint arcs.
It's possible to construct regular expressions that contain loops of
constraint arcs (that is, ^ $ AHEAD BEHIND or LACON arcs). There's no use
in fully traversing such a loop at execution, since you'd just end up in
the same NFA state without having consumed any input. Worse, such a loop
leads to infinite looping in the pullback/pushfwd stage of compilation,
because we keep pushing or pulling the same constraints around the loop
in a vain attempt to move them to the pre or post state. Such looping was
previously recognized in CVE-2007-4772; but the fix only handled the case
of trivial single-state loops (that is, a constraint arc leading back to
its source state) ... and not only that, it was incorrect even for that
case, because it broke the admittedly-not-very-clearly-stated API contract
of the pull() and push() subroutines. The first two regression test cases
added by this commit exhibit patterns that result in assertion failures
because of that (though there seem to be no ill effects in non-assert
builds). The other new test cases exhibit multi-state constraint loops;
in an unpatched build they will run until the NFA state-count limit is
exceeded.
To fix, remove the code added for CVE-2007-4772, and instead create a
general-purpose constraint-loop-breaking phase of regex compilation that
executes before we do pullback/pushfwd. Since we never need to traverse
a constraint loop fully, we can just break the loop at any chosen spot,
if we add clone states that can replicate any sequence of arc transitions
that would've traversed just part of the loop.
Also add some commentary clarifying why we have to have all these
machinations in the first place.
This class of problems has been known for some time --- we had a report
from Marc Mamin about two years ago, for example, and there are related

On Windows, ensure shared memory handle gets closed if not being used.
Postmaster child processes that aren't supposed to be attached to shared
memory were not bothering to close the shared memory mapping handle they
inherit from the postmaster process. That's mostly harmless, since the
handle vanishes anyway when the child process exits -- but the syslogger
process, if used, doesn't get killed and restarted during recovery from a
backend crash. That meant that Windows doesn't see the shared memory
mapping as becoming free, so it doesn't delete it and the postmaster is
unable to create a new one, resulting in failure to recover from crashes
whenever logging_collector is turned on.
Per report from Dmitry Vasilyev. It's a bit astonishing that we'd not

A secondary problem is that on Cygwin (perhaps only in older versions?),
exec() may not detach from the shared memory segment after all, in which
case these child processes did remain attached to shared memory, posing
the risk of an unexpected shared memory clobber if they went off the rails
somehow. That may be a long-gone bug, but we can deal with it now if it's
still live, by detaching within the infrastructure introduced here to deal

Fix "pg_ctl start -w" to test child process status directly.
pg_ctl start with -w previously relied on a heuristic that the postmaster
would surely always manage to create postmaster.pid within five seconds.
Unfortunately, that fails much more often than we would like on some of the
slower, more heavily loaded buildfarm members.
We have known for quite some time that we could remove the need for that
heuristic on Unix by using fork/exec instead of system() to launch the
postmaster. This allows us to know the exact PID of the postmaster, which
allows near-certain verification that the postmaster.pid file is the one
we want and not a leftover, and it also lets us use waitpid() to detect
reliably whether the child postmaster has exited or not.
What was blocking this change was not wanting to rewrite the Windows
version of start_postmaster() to avoid use of CMD.EXE. That's doable
in theory but would require fooling about with stdout/stderr redirection,
and getting the handling of quote-containing postmaster switches to
stay the same might be rather ticklish. However, we realized that
we don't have to do that to fix the problem, because we can test
whether the shell process has exited as a proxy for whether the
postmaster is still alive. That doesn't allow an exact check of the
PID in postmaster.pid, but we're no worse off than before in that
respect; and we do get to get rid of the heuristic about how long the
postmaster might take to create postmaster.pid.
On Unix, this change means that a second "pg_ctl start -w" immediately
after another such command will now reliably fail, whereas previously
it would succeed if done within two seconds of the earlier command.
Since that's a saner behavior anyway, it's fine. On Windows, the case can
still succeed within the same time window, since pg_ctl can't tell that the
earlier postmaster's postmaster.pid isn't the pidfile it is looking for.
To ensure stable test results on Windows, we can insert a short sleep into
the test script for pg_ctl, ensuring that the existing pidfile looks stale.
This hack can be removed if we ever do rewrite start_postmaster(), but that
no longer seems like a high-priority thing to do.

is buggy and because we must do that if we want the buildfarm failures

Improve contrib/pg_stat_statements' handling of garbage collection failure.
If we can't read the query texts file (whether because out-of-memory, or
for some other reason), give up and reset the file to empty, discarding all
stored query texts, though not the statistics per se. We used to leave
things alone and hope for better luck next time, but the problem is that
the file is only going to get bigger and even harder to slurp into memory.
Better to do something that will get us out of trouble.
Likewise reset the file to empty for any other failure within gc_qtexts().
The previous behavior after a write error was to discard query texts but
not do anything to truncate the file, which is just weird.
Also, increase the maximum supported file size from MaxAllocSize to
MaxAllocHugeSize; this makes it more likely we'll be able to do a garbage
collection successfully.
Also, fix recalculation of mean_query_len within entry_dealloc() to match

Fix several bugs related to ON CONFLICT's EXCLUDED pseudo relation.
Four related issues:
1) attnos/varnos/resnos for EXCLUDED were out of sync when a column
after one dropped in the underlying relation was referenced.
2) References to whole-row variables (i.e. EXCLUDED.*) lead to errors.
3) It was possible to reference system columns in the EXCLUDED pseudo
relations, even though they would not have valid contents.
4) References to EXCLUDED were rewritten by the RLS machinery, as
EXCLUDED was treated as if it were the underlying relation.
To fix the first two issues, generate the excluded targetlist with
dropped columns in mind and add an entry for whole row
variables. Instead of unconditionally adding a wholerow entry we could
pull up the expression if needed, but doing it unconditionally seems
simpler. The wholerow entry is only really needed for ruleutils/EXPLAIN
support anyway.
The remaining two issues are addressed by changing the EXCLUDED RTE to
have relkind = composite. That fits with EXCLUDED not actually being a
real relation, and allows to treat it differently in the relevant
places. scanRTEForColumn now skips looking up system columns when the
RTE has a composite relkind; fireRIRrules() already had a corresponding
check, thereby preventing RLS expansion on EXCLUDED.

Add recursion depth protections to regular expression matching.

the actually available stack. Greg Stark has also seen it in other places
while fuzz testing on a machine with limited stack space. Let's put guards

Fix potential infinite loop in regular expression execution.
In cfindloop(), if the initial call to shortest() reports that a
zero-length match is possible at the current search start point, but then
it is unable to construct any actual match to that, it'll just loop around
with the same start point, and thus make no progress. We need to force the
start point to be advanced. This is safe because the loop over "begin"
points has already tried and failed to match starting at "close", so there
is surely no need to try that again.
This bug was introduced in commit
e2bd904955e2221eddf01110b1f25002de2aaa83,
wherein we allowed continued searching after we'd run out of match
possibilities, but evidently failed to think hard enough about exactly
where we needed to search next.
Because of the way this code works, such a match failure is only possible
in the presence of backrefs --- otherwise, shortest()'s judgment that a
match is possible should always be correct. That probably explains how
come the bug has escaped detection for several years.
The actual fix is a one-liner, but I took the trouble to add/improve some
comments related to the loop logic.
After fixing that, the submitted test case "()*\1" didn't loop anymore.
But it reported failure, though it seems like it ought to match a
zero-length string; both Tcl and Perl think it does. That seems to be from
overenthusiastic optimization on my part when I rewrote the iteration match
logic in commit
173e29aa5deefd9e71c183583ba37805c8102a72: we can't just

Add some more query-cancel checks to regular expression matching.
Commit
9662143f0c35d64d7042fbeaf879df8f0b54be32 added infrastructure to
allow regular-expression operations to be terminated early in the event
of SIGINT etc. However, fuzz testing by Greg Stark disclosed that there
are still cases where regex compilation could run for a long time without
noticing a cancel request. Specifically, the fixempties() phase never
adds new states, only new arcs, so it doesn't hit the cancel check I'd put
in newstate(). Add one to newarc() as well to cover that.
Some experimentation of my own found that regex execution could also run
for a long time despite a pending cancel. We'd put a high-level cancel
check into cdissect(), but there was none inside the core text-matching
routines longest() and shortest(). Ordinarily those inner loops are very
very fast ... but in the presence of lookahead constraints, not so much.
As a compromise, stick a cancel check into the stateset cache-miss
function, which is enough to guarantee a cancel check at least once per
lookahead constraint test.
Making this work required more attention to error handling throughout the
regex executor. Henry Spencer had apparently originally intended longest()
and shortest() to be incapable of incurring errors while running, so
neither they nor their subroutines had well-defined error reporting
behaviors. However, that was already broken by the lookahead constraint
feature, since lacon() can surely suffer an out-of-memory failure ---
which, in the code as it stood, might never be reported to the user at all,
but just silently be treated as a non-match of the lookahead constraint.
Normalize all that by inserting explicit error tests as needed. I took the
opportunity to add some more comments to the code, too.

Docs: add disclaimer about hazards of using regexps from untrusted sources.
It's not terribly hard to devise regular expressions that take large
amounts of time and/or memory to process. Recent testing by Greg Stark has
also shown that machines with small stack limits can be driven to stack
overflow by suitably crafted regexps. While we intend to fix these things
as much as possible, it's probably impossible to eliminate slow-execution
cases altogether. In any case we don't want to treat such things as
security issues. The history of that code should already discourage
prudent DBAs from allowing execution of regexp patterns coming from
possibly-hostile sources, but it seems like a good idea to warn about the
hazard explicitly.
Currently, similar_escape() allows access to enough of the underlying
regexp behavior that the warning has to apply to SIMILAR TO as well.
We might be able to make it safer if we tightened things up to allow only
SQL-mandated capabilities in SIMILAR TO; but that would be a subtly

master after replay.
3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well. We
were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path.

Additionally, I cleaned up nearby code related to replication origins,
which I found a bit hard to follow, and fixed a couple of typos.
Backpatch to 9.5, where this code was introduced.
Per bug reports from Fujii Masao and subsequent discussion.

Fix plperl to handle non-ASCII error message texts correctly.
We were passing error message texts to croak() verbatim, which turns out
not to work if the text contains non-ASCII characters; Perl mangles their
encoding, as reported in bug #13638 from Michal Leinweber. To fix, convert
the text into a UTF8-encoded SV first.
It's hard to test this without risking failures in different database
encodings; but we can follow the lead of plpython, which is already
assuming that no-break space (U+00A0) has an equivalent in all encodings
we care about running the regression tests in (cf commit
2dfa15de5).
Back-patch to 9.1. The code is quite different in 9.0, and anyway it seems
too risky to put something like this into 9.0's final minor release.

Fix poor errno handling in libpq's version of our custom OpenSSL BIO.
Thom Brown reported that SSL connections didn't seem to work on Windows in
9.5. Asif Naeem figured out that the cause was my_sock_read() looking at
"errno" when it needs to look at "SOCK_ERRNO". This mistake was introduced
in commit
680513ab79c7e12e402a2aad7921b95a25a4bcc8, which cloned the
backend's custom SSL BIO code into libpq, and didn't translate the errno
handling properly. Moreover, it introduced unnecessary errno save/restore
logic, which was particularly confusing because it was incomplete; and it
failed to check for all three of EINTR, EAGAIN, and EWOULDBLOCK in
my_sock_write. (That might not be necessary; but since we're copying
well-tested backend code that does do that, it seems prudent to copy it
faithfully.)

Ensure a few policies remain for pg_upgrade

Fix ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE for tables with oids.
When taking the UPDATE path in an INSERT .. ON CONFLICT .. UPDATE tables
with oids were not supported. The tuple generated by the update target

Don't try to create a temp install without abs_top_builddir.
Otherwise, we effectively act as if abs_top_builddir were the root
directory, which is quite dangerous if the user happens to have
permissions to do things there. This can crop up in PGXS builds,
for example.
