Calling fseek() or ftello() on a handle to a non-seeking device such as
a pipe or a communications device is not supported. Unfortunately,
MSVC's flavor of these routines, _fseeki64() and _ftelli64(), do not
return an error when given a pipe as handle. Some of the logic of
pg_dump and restore relies on these routines to check if a handle is
seekable, causing failures when passing the contents of pg_dump to
pg_restore through a pipe, for example.
This commit introduces wrappers for fseeko() and ftello() on MSVC so as
any callers are able to properly detect the cases of non-seekable
handles. This relies mainly on GetFileType(), sharing a bit of code
with the MSVC port for fstat(). The code in charge of getting a file
type is refactored into a new file called win32common.c, shared by
win32stat.c and the new win32fseek.c. It includes the MSVC ports for
fseeko() and ftello().
Like 765f5df, this is backpatched down to 14, where the fstat()
implementation for MSVC is able to understand about files larger than
4GB in size. Using a TAP test for that is proving to be tricky as
IPC::Run handles the pipes by itself, still I have been able to check
the fix manually.

The sslcertmode option controls whether the server is allowed and/or
required to request a certificate from the client. There are three
modes:
- "allow" is the default and follows the current behavior, where a
configured client certificate is sent if the server requests one
(via one of its default locations or sslcert). With the current
implementation, will happen whenever TLS is negotiated.
- "disable" causes the client to refuse to send a client certificate
even if sslcert is configured or if a client certificate is available in
one of its default locations.
- "require" causes the client to fail if a client certificate is never
sent and the server opens a connection anyway. This doesn't add any
additional security, since there is no guarantee that the server is
validating the certificate correctly, but it may helpful to troubleshoot
more complicated TLS setups.
sslcertmode=require requires SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(), available since
OpenSSL 1.0.2. Note that LibreSSL does not include it.
Using a connection parameter different than require_auth has come up as
the simplest design because certificate authentication does not rely
directly on any of the AUTH_REQ_* codes, and one may want to require a
certificate to be sent in combination of a given authentication method,
like SCRAM-SHA-256.
TAP tests are added in src/test/ssl/, some of them relying on sslinfo to
check if a certificate has been set. These are compatible across all
the versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD (currently down to 1.0.1).

Support for SCM credential authentication has been removed in the
backend in 9.1, and libpq has kept some code to handle it for
compatibility.
Commit be4585b, that did the cleanup of the backend code, has done
so because the code was not really portable originally. And, as there
are likely little chances that this is used these days, this removes the
remaining code from libpq. An error will now be raised by libpq if
attempting to connect to a server that returns AUTH_REQ_SCM_CREDS,

OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS
certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to
determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using
channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256. X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the
original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to
determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates. However,
X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it. This
commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on
X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be
the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer.
The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence
libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched.
Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0
or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm.
The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob,
the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I
have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC
and meson.
This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way
down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be
generated for RSA-PSS.

Previously export_dynamic was set in src/makefiles/Makefile.$port. For solaris
this required exporting with_gnu_ld. The determination of with_gnu_ld would be
nontrivial to copy for meson PGXS compatibility. It's also nice to delete

This uses -Wl,--export-dynamic on all platforms, previously all platforms but
FreeBSD used -Wl,-E. The likelihood of a name conflict seems lower with the

Until now we emitted the cflags to build the CRC objects into architecture
specific variables. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me - we're never
going to target x86 and arm at the same time, so they don't need to be
separate variables.
It might be better to instead continue to have CFLAGS_SSE42 /
CFLAGS_ARMV8_CRC32C be computed by PGAC_ARMV8_CRC32C_INTRINSICS /
PGAC_SSE42_CRC32_INTRINSICS and then set CFLAGS_CRC based on those. But it
seems unlikely that we'd need other sets of CRC specific flags for those two
architectures at the same time.
This simplifies the upcoming meson PGXS compatibility.

Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup.
There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used,
other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten
increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have
different capabilities and do different things by default.
This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup,
with appropriate ways to override it. This is similar to how "lz4"
and "zstd" are handled, for example. The meson build system actually
already did this, but the result was only used in some places. This
is now applied more uniformly.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

The oldest vendor-shipped Perl in the buildfarm is 5.14.2, which is
the last version that Debian Wheezy shipped. That OS is EOL, but we
keep it running because there is no other convenient way to test certain
non-mainstream 32-bit platforms. There is no bugfix in the 5.14.2 release
that is required, and yet it's also not the latest minor release --
that would be 5.14.4. To clarify the situation, we have thus arranged the
buildfarm to test 5.14.0. That allows configure scripts and documentation
to state 5.14 without fine print.
The MSVC build didn't check the version, since our previous minimum 5.8.3
was considered too old to check for on Windows. We will need a check for
Windows sometime during the v16 cycle, but that could be rendered moot
by the impending Meson conversion, so it seems safe to just document

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.

pread() and pwrite() are in SUSv2, and all targeted Unix systems have
them.
Previously, we defined pg_pread and pg_pwrite to emulate these function
with lseek() on old Unixen. The names with a pg_ prefix were a reminder
of a portability hazard: they might change the current file position.
That hazard is gone, so we can drop the prefixes.
Since the remaining replacement code is Windows-only, move it into
src/port/win32p{read,write}.c, and move the declarations into
src/include/port/win32_port.h.
No need for vestigial HAVE_PREAD, HAVE_PWRITE macros as they were only
used for declarations in port.h which have now moved into win32_port.h.

I do not [yet] understand how, but my prior commit (089480c077) accidentally
removed the exec bit from configure. I'll try to figure that out later, for
now re-add to unbreak the buildfarm.
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.

VS2017 is the oldest version still supported.

tweaks have accumulated across the years mostly around locales and
strtof(), so that's a nice isolated cleanup.

macOS has traditionally used extension .dylib for shared libraries
(used at build time) and .so for dynamically loaded modules (used by
dlopen()). This complicates the build system a bit. Also, Meson uses
.dylib for both, so it would be worth unifying this in order to be
able to get equal build output.
There doesn't appear to be any reason to use any particular extension
for dlopened modules, since dlopen() will accept anything and
PostgreSQL is well-factored to be able to deal with any extension.
Other software packages that I have handy appear to be about 50/50
split on which extension they use for their plugins. So it seems
possible to change this safely.

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.

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.

reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);

Both tests need to be adjusted for the case where the command does not
