Commit 5a2fed911 had an unexpected side-effect: the parallel worker
launched for the new test case would fail if it couldn't use a
superuser-reserved connection slot. The reason that test failed
while all our pre-existing ones worked is that the connection
privilege tests in InitPostgres had been based on the superuserness
of the leader's AuthenticatedUserId, but after the rearrangements
of 5a2fed911 we were testing the superuserness of CurrentUserId,
which the new test case deliberately made to be a non-superuser.
This all seems very accidental and probably not the behavior we really
want, but a security patch is no time to be redesigning things.
Pending some discussion about desirable semantics, hack it so that
InitPostgres continues to pay attention to the superuserness of
AuthenticatedUserId when starting a parallel worker.

Security: CVE-2024-10979
The SQL spec mandates that SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION implies
SET ROLE NONE. We tried to implement that within the lowest-level
functions that manipulate these settings, but that was a bad idea.
In particular, guc.c assumes that it doesn't matter in what order
it applies GUC variable updates, but that was not the case for these
two variables. This problem, compounded by some hackish attempts to
work around it, led to some security-grade issues:
* Rolling back a transaction that had done SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION
would revert to SET ROLE NONE, even if that had not been the previous
state, so that the effective user ID might now be different from what
it had been.
* The same for SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION in a function SET clause.
* If a parallel worker inspected current_setting('role'), it saw
"none" even when it should see something else.
Also, although the parallel worker startup code intended to cope
with the current role's pg_authid row having disappeared, its
implementation of that was incomplete so it would still fail.
Fix by fully separating the miscinit.c functions that assign
session_authorization from those that assign role. To implement the
spec's requirement, teach set_config_option itself to perform "SET
ROLE NONE" when it sets session_authorization. (This is undoubtedly
ugly, but the alternatives seem worse. In particular, there's no way
to do it within assign_session_authorization without incompatible
changes in the API for GUC assign hooks.) Also, improve
ParallelWorkerMain to directly set all the relevant user-ID variables
instead of relying on some of them to get set indirectly. That
allows us to survive not finding the pg_authid row during worker
startup.
In v16 and earlier, this includes back-patching 9987a7bf3 which
fixed a violation of GUC coding rules: SetSessionAuthorization
is not an appropriate place to be throwing errors from.

Many process environment variables (e.g. PATH), bypass the containment
expected of a trusted PL. Hence, trusted PLs must not offer features
that achieve setenv(). Otherwise, an attacker having USAGE privilege on
the language often can achieve arbitrary code execution, even if the
attacker lacks a database server operating system user.
To fix PL/Perl, replace trusted PL/Perl %ENV with a tied hash that just
replaces each modification attempt with a warning. Sites that reach
these warnings should evaluate the application-specific implications of
proceeding without the environment modification:
Can the application reasonably proceed without the modification?
If no, switch to plperlu or another approach.
If yes, the application should change the code to stop attempting
environment modifications. If that's too difficult, add "untie
%main::ENV" in any code executed before the warning. For example,
one might add it to the start of the affected function or even to
the plperl.on_plperl_init setting.

This commit changes libpq so that errors reported by the backend during
the protocol negotiation for SSL and GSS are discarded by the client, as
these may include bytes that could be consumed by the client and write
arbitrary bytes to a client's terminal.
A failure with the SSL negotiation now leads to an error immediately
reported, without a retry on any other methods allowed, like a fallback
to a plaintext connection.
A failure with GSS discards the error message received, and we allow a
fallback as it may be possible that the error is caused by a connection
attempt with a pre-11 server, GSS encryption having been introduced in
v12. This was a problem only with v17 and newer versions; older
versions discard the error message already in this case, assuming a

Commit 1bd4bc85, which refactored nbtree sibling link traversal, made
_bt_parallel_seize reset the scan's currPos so that things were
consistent with the state of a serial backend moving between pages.
This overlooked the fact that _bt_readnextpage relied on the existing
currPos state to decide when to end the scan -- even though it came from
before the scan was seized. As a result of all this, parallel nbtree
scans could needlessly behave like full index scans.
To fix, teach _bt_readnextpage to explicitly allow the use of an already
read page's so->currPos when deciding whether to end the scan -- even
during parallel index scans (allow it consistently now). This requires
moving _bt_readnextpage's seizure of the scan to earlier in its loop.
That way _bt_readnextpage either deals with the true so->currPos state,
or an initialized-by-_bt_parallel_seize currPos state set from when the
scan was seized. Now _bt_steppage (the most important _bt_readnextpage
caller) takes the same uniform approach to setting up its call using
details taken from so->currPos -- regardless of whether the scan happens
to be parallel or serial.
The new loop structure in _bt_readnextpage is prone to getting confused
by P_NONE blknos set when the rightmost or leftmost page was reached.
We could avoid that by adding an explicit check, but that would be ugly.
Avoid this problem by teaching _bt_parallel_seize to end the parallel
scan instead of returning a P_NONE next block/blkno. Doing things this
way was arguably a missed opportunity for commit 1bd4bc85. It allows us
to remove a similar "blkno == P_NONE" check from _bt_first.

We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on
user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column.
We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as
adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and
creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly
follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have
for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to
CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending
a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the
column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint
names to be identical across a hierarchy.
The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we
can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have
it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children
are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a
NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a
desirable future feature.)
This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT
VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional
dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc58. It's
likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as
well.
psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if
this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid
constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm
not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be
better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints
in \d+.
For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because
they're unlikely to achieve anything.
The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f311985) is
that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary
key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a
number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is
easier to reason about. For example:
- We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed
those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null
underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the
PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade.
- We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in
case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

When we generate multiple clones of the same qual condition to cope
with outer join identity 3, we need to ensure that all the clones get
the same serial number. To achieve this, we reset the
root->last_rinfo_serial counter each time we produce RestrictInfo(s)
from the qual list (see deconstruct_distribute_oj_quals). This
approach works only if we ensure that we are not changing the qual
list in any way that'd affect the number of RestrictInfos built from
it.
However, with b262ad440, an IS NULL qual on a NOT NULL column might
result in an additional constant-FALSE RestrictInfo. And different
versions of the same qual clause can lead to different conclusions
about whether it can be reduced to constant-FALSE. This would affect
the number of RestrictInfos built from the qual list for different
versions, causing inconsistent RestrictInfo serial numbers across
multiple clones of the same qual. This inconsistency can confuse
users of these serial numbers, such as rebuild_joinclause_attr_needed,
and lead to planner errors such as "ERROR: variable not found in
subplan target lists".
To fix, reset the root->last_rinfo_serial counter after generating the

Presently, we check for compiler support for the required
intrinsics both with and without extra compiler flags (e.g.,
-mxsave), and then depending on the results of those checks, we
pick which files to compile with which flags. This is tedious and
complicated, and it results in unsustainable coding patterns such
as separate files for each portion of code may need to be built
with different compiler flags.
This commit introduces support for __attribute__((target(...))) and
uses it for the AVX-512 code. This simplifies both the
configure-time checks and the build scripts, and it allows us to
place the functions that use the intrinsics in files that we
otherwise do not want to build with special CPU instructions. We
are careful to avoid using __attribute__((target(...))) on
compilers that do not understand it, but we still perform the
configure-time checks in case the compiler allows using the
intrinsics without it (e.g., MSVC).
A similar change could likely be made for some of the CRC-32C code,
but that is left as a future exercise.

Supply a new memory manager for RuntimeDyld, to avoid crashes in
generated code caused by memory placement that can overflow a 32 bit
data type. This is a drop-in replacement for the
llvm::SectionMemoryManager class in the LLVM library, with Michael
Smith's proposed fix from
https://www.github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71968.
We hereby slurp it into our own source tree, after moving into a new
namespace llvm::backport and making some minor adjustments so that it
can be compiled with older LLVM versions as far back as 12. It's harder
to make it work on even older LLVM versions, but it doesn't seem likely
that people are really using them so that is not investigated for now.
The problem could also be addressed by switching to JITLink instead of
RuntimeDyld, and that is the LLVM project's recommended solution as
the latter is about to be deprecated. We'll have to do that soon enough
anyway, and then when the LLVM version support window advances far
enough in a few years we'll be able to delete this code. Unfortunately
that wouldn't be enough for PostgreSQL today: in most relevant versions
of LLVM, JITLink is missing or incomplete.
Several other projects have already back-ported this fix into their fork
of LLVM, which is a vote of confidence despite the lack of commit into
LLVM as of today. We don't have our own copy of LLVM so we can't do
exactly what they've done; instead we have a copy of the whole patched
class so we can pass an instance of it to RuntimeDyld.
The LLVM project hasn't chosen to commit the fix yet, and even if it
did, it wouldn't be back-ported into the releases of LLVM that most of
our users care about, so there is not much point in waiting any longer
for that. If they make further changes and commit it to LLVM 19 or 20,
we'll still need this for older versions, but we may want to
resynchronize our copy and update some comments.
The changes that we've had to make to our copy can be seen by diffing
our SectionMemoryManager.{h,cpp} files against the ones in the tree of

This should fix the spate of crash reports we've been receiving lately
from users on large memory ARM systems.
Back-patch to all supported releases.

This commit extends the constructor routine of BackgroundPsql.pm with a
new "wait" parameter. If set to 0, the routine returns without waiting
for psql to start, ready to consume input.
background_psql() in Cluster.pm gains the same "wait" parameter. The
default behavior is still to wait for psql to start. It becomes now
possible to not wait, giving to TAP scripts the possibility to perform
actions between a BackgroundPsql startup and its wait_connect() call.

adf97c156 gave ExprStates the ability to hash expressions and return a
single hash value. That commit supports seeding the hash value with an
initial value to have that blended into the final hash value.
Here we fix a hypothetical bug where if there are zero expressions to
hash, the initial value is stored in the wrong location. The existing
code stored the initial value in an intermediate location expecting that
when the expressions were hashed that those steps would store the final
hash value in the ExprState.resvalue field. However, that wouldn't happen
when there are zero expressions to hash. The correct thing to do instead
is to have a special case for zero expressions and when we hit that case,
store the initial value directly in the ExprState.resvalue. The reason
that this is a hypothetical bug is that no code currently calls
ExecBuildHash32Expr passing a non-zero initial value.

Commit 99b937a44f introduced this warning when you run "meson setup":
Configuring Makefile.global using configuration
../src/meson.build:31: WARNING: The variable(s) 'PG_TEST_EXTRA' in the input file 'src/Makefile.global.in' are not present in the given configuration data.
To fix, add PG_TEST_EXTRA to the list of variables that are not needed
in the makefiles generated by meson. In meson builds, the makefiles
are only used for PGXS, not for building or testing the server itself.

PgStat_HashKey is currently initialized in a way that could result in
random data if the structure has any padding bytes. The structure
has no padding bytes currently, fortunately, but it could become a
problem should the structure change at some point in the future.
The code is changed to use some memset(0) so as any padding would be
handled properly, as it would be surprising to see random failures in
the pgstats entry lookups. PgStat_HashKey is a structure internal to
pgstats, and an ABI change could be possible in the scope of a bug fix,
so backpatch down to 15 where this has been introduced.

Backpatch-through: 15
We had been using "diff -upd", which evidently works for most people,
but Solaris's diff doesn't like it. (We'd not noticed because the
Solaris buildfarm animals weren't running this test until they were
upgraded to the latest buildfarm client script.) Change to "diff -U3"
which is what pg_regress has used for ages.
Per buildfarm (and off-list discussion with Noah Misch).
Back-patch to v16 where this test was added. In v16,
also back-patch the relevant part of 628c1d1f2 so that
the test script looks about the same in all branches.
