Nathan Bossart [Mon, 2 Dec 2024 19:30:07 +0000 (13:30 -0600)] Deprecate MD5 passwords.
MD5 has been considered to be unsuitable for use as a cryptographic
hash algorithm for some time. Furthermore, MD5 password hashes in
PostgreSQL are vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks, i.e., knowing
the username and hashed password is sufficient to authenticate.
The SCRAM-SHA-256 method added in v10 is not subject to these
problems and is considered to be superior to MD5.
This commit marks MD5 password support in PostgreSQL as deprecated
and to be removed in a future release. The documentation now
contains several deprecation notices, and CREATE ROLE and ALTER
ROLE now emit deprecation warnings when setting MD5 passwords. The
warnings can be disabled by setting the md5_password_warnings
parameter to "off".

Tom Lane [Sun, 1 Dec 2024 19:15:37 +0000 (14:15 -0500)] Fix broken list-munging in ecpg's remove_variables().
The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance
"prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway
when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to
remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all
entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would
only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables,
which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and
the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that
nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug.
It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard
coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the
"prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is
confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal
band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use
elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with
a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the
loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy,
but it seems better to make them all look alike.)
Coverity discovered this problem, but not until
2b41de4a5 added code
to free no-longer-needed arguments structs. With that, the incorrect
link updates are possibly touching freed memory, and it complained
about that. Nonetheless the list corruption hazard is ancient, so
back- to all supported branches.

If we are pulling up a subquery that's under an outer join, and
the subquery's target list contains a strict expression that uses
both a subquery variable and a lateral-reference variable, it's okay
to pull up the expression without wrapping it in a PlaceHolderVar.
That's safe because if the subquery variable is forced to NULL
by the outer join, the expression result will come out as NULL too,
so we don't have to force that outcome by evaluating the expression
below the outer join. It'd be correct to wrap in a PHV, but that can
lead to very significantly worse plans, since we'd then have to use
a nestloop plan to pass down the lateral reference to where the
expression will be evaluated.
However, when we do that, we should not mark the lateral reference
variable as being by the outer join, because it isn't after
we pull up the expression in this way. So the marking logic added
by
cb8e50a4a was incorrect in this detail, leading to "wrong
varnullingrels" errors from the consistency-checking logic in
setrefs.c. It seems to be sufficient to just not mark lateral
references at all in this case. (I have a nagging feeling that more
complexity may be needed in cases where there are several levels of
outer join, but some attempts to break it with that didn't succeed.)
Per report from Bertrand Mamasam. Back- to v16, as the previous

Thomas Munro [Wed, 27 Nov 2024 22:48:07 +0000 (11:48 +1300)] Require sizeof(bool) == 1.
The C standard says that sizeof(bool) is implementation-defined, but we
know of no current systems where it is not 1. The last known systems
seem to have been Apple macOS/PowerPC 10.5 and Microsoft Visual C++ 4,
both long defunct.
PostgreSQL has always required sizeof(bool) == 1 for the definition of
bool that it used, but previously it would define its own type if the
system-provided bool had a different size. That was liable to cause
memory layout problems when interacting with system and third-party
libraries on (by now hypothetical) computers with wider _Bool, and now
C23 has introduced a new problem by making bool a built-in datatype
(like C++), so the fallback code doesn't even compile. We could
probably work around that, but then we'd be writing new untested code
for a computer that doesn't exist.
Instead, delete the unreachable and C23-uncompilable fallback code, and
let existing static assertions fail if the system-provided bool is too
wide. If we ever get a problem report from a real system, then it will
be time to figure out what to do about it in a way that also works on
modern compilers.
Note on C++: Previously we avoided including <stdbool.h> or trying to
define a new bool type in headers that might be included by C++ code.
These days we might as well just include <stdbool.h> unconditionally:
it should be visible to C++11 but do nothing, just as in C23. We
already include <stdint.h> without C++ guards in c.h, and that falls
under the same C99-compatibility section of the C++11 standard as
<stdbool.h>, so let's remove the guards here too.

Nathan Bossart [Wed, 27 Nov 2024 22:19:05 +0000 (16:19 -0600)] Use __attribute__((target(...))) for SSE4.2 CRC-32C support.
Presently, we check for compiler support for the required
intrinsics both with and without the -msse4.2 compiler flag, 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 that may need to be built with different
compiler flags.
This commit makes use of the newly-added support for
__attribute__((target(...))) in the SSE4.2 CRC-32C 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 (although this commit refrains from doing so). This
is also preparatory work for a proposed follow-up commit that will
further optimize the CRC-32C code with AVX-512 instructions.
While at it, this commit modifies meson's checks for SSE4.2 CRC
support to be the same as autoconf's. meson was choosing whether
to use a runtime check based purely on whether -msse4.2 is
required, while autoconf has long checked for the __SSE4_2__
preprocessor symbol to decide. meson's previous approach seems to
work just fine, but this change avoids needing to build multiple
test programs and to keep track of whether to actually use
pg_attribute_target().
Ideally we'd use __attribute__((target(...))) for ARMv8 CRC
support, too, but there's little point in doing so because until
clang 16, using the ARM intrinsics still requires special compiler
flags. Perhaps we can re-evaluate this decision after some time
has passed.

Commit
0785d1b8b adds support for libpq as a JSON client, but
allocations for string tokens can still be during parsing
failures. This is tricky to fix for the object_field semantic callbacks:
the field name must remain valid until the end of the object, but if a
parsing error is encountered partway through, object_field_end() won't
be invoked and the client won't get a chance to free the field name.
This adds a flag to switch the ownership of parsed tokens to the
lexer. When this is enabled, the client must make a copy of any tokens
it wants to persist past the callback lifetime, but the lexer will
handle necessary cleanup on failure.
Backend uses of the JSON parser don't need to use this flag, since the
parser's allocations will occur in a short lived memory context.
A -o option has been added to test_json_parser_incremental to exercise
the new setJsonLexContextOwnsTokens() API, and the test_json_parser TAP
tests make use of it. (The test program now cleans up allocated memory,
so that tests can be usefully run under sanitizers.)

dropped off our testing radar so we weren't paying much attention.
This commit formalizes the requirement. It also removes a couple of
obsolete comments that discussed msvcrt.dll limitations, and some tests
of !defined(_MSC_VER) to imply msvcrt.dll. There are many more
anachronisms, but it'll take some time to figure out how to remove them
all. APIs affected relate to locales, UTF-8, threads, large files and
more.
Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the documentation change. It's not
really necessary to talk about ucrt explicitly in such a short section,
since it's the default for MinGW-w64 and MSYS2. It's enough to prune
references and broken links to much older tools.

This allows for example using LIKE with case-insensitive collations.
There was previously no internal implementation of this, so it was met
with a not-supported error. This adds the internal implementation and
removes the error. The implementation follows the specification of
the SQL standard for this.
Unlike with deterministic collations, the LIKE matching cannot go
character by character but has to go substring by substring. For
example, if we are matching against LIKE 'foo%bar', we can't start by
looking for an 'f', then an 'o', but instead with have to find
something that matches 'foo'. This is because the collation could
consider substrings of different lengths to be equal. This is all
internal to MatchText() in like_match.c.
The changes in GenericMatchText() in like.c just pass through the
locale information to MatchText(), which was previously not needed.
This matches exactly Generic_Text_IC_like() below.
ILIKE is not affected. (It's unclear whether ILIKE makes sense under
nondeterministic collations.)
This also updates match_pattern_prefix() in like_support.c to support
optimizing the case of an exact pattern with nondeterministic
collations. This was already alluded to in the previous code.

Michael Paquier [Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:31:22 +0000 (09:31 +0900)] Handle better implicit transaction state of pipeline mode
When using a pipeline, a transaction starts from the first command and
is committed with a Sync message or when the pipeline ends.
Functions like IsInTransactionBlock() or PreventInTransactionBlock()
were already able to understand a pipeline as being in a transaction
block, but it was not the case of CheckTransactionBlock(). This
function is called for example to generate a WARNING for SET LOCAL,
complaining that it is used outside of a transaction block.
The current state of the code caused multiple problems, like:
- SET LOCAL executed at any stage of a pipeline issued a WARNING, even
if the command was at least second in line where the pipeline is in a
transaction state.
- LOCK TABLE failed when invoked at any step of a pipeline, even if it
should be able to work within a transaction block.
The pipeline protocol assumes that the first command of a pipeline is
not part of a transaction block, and that any follow-up commands is
considered as within a transaction block.
This commit changes the backend so as an implicit transaction block is
started each time the first Execute message of a pipeline has finished
processing, with this implicit transaction block ended once a sync is
processed. The checks based on XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING in the routines
checking if we are in a transaction block are not necessary: it is
enough to rely on the existing ones.
Some tests are added to pgbench, that can be backed down to v17
when \syncpipeline is involved and down to v14 where \startpipeline and
\endpipeline are available. This is unfortunately limited regarding the
error patterns that can be checked, but it provides coverage for various
pipeline combinations to check if these succeed or fail. These tests
are able to capture the case of SET LOCAL's WARNING. The author has
proposed a different feature to improve the coverage by adding similar
meta-commands to psql where error messages could be checked, something
more useful for the cases where commands cannot be used in transaction
blocks, like REINDEX CONCURRENTLY or VACUUM. This is considered as
future work for v18~.

The ordering of DISTINCT items is semantically insignificant, so we
can reorder them as needed. In fact, in the parser, we absorb the

This can help avoid a possible need to re-sort.
In this commit, we attempt to adjust the DISTINCT keys to match the
input path's pathkeys. This can likewise help avoid re-sorting, or
allow us to use incremental-sort to save efforts.
For DISTINCT ON expressions, the parser already ensures that they
match the initial ORDER BY expressions. When reordering the DISTINCT
keys, we must ensure that the resulting pathkey list matches the
initial distinctClause pathkeys.
This introduces a new GUC, enable_distinct_reordering, which allows
the optimization to be disabled if needed.

will spit up if the platform requires hard-float ABI, as most do

We can fix this by using "-march=armv8-a+crc+simd" to enable the
correct ABI choice. (This has no impact on the code actually

Previously we checked "for <stdbool.h> that conforms to C99" using

12, so the test was redundant, and under C23 it was broken: autoconf
2.69's implementation doesn't understand C23's new empty header (the
macros it's looking for went away, replaced by language keywords).
Later autoconf versions fixed that, but let's just remove the
anachronistic test.
HAVE_STDBOOL_H and HAVE__BOOL will no longer be defined, but they
weren't directly tested in core or likely extensions (except in 11, see

when sizeof(bool) is 1, which should be true on all modern systems.
Otherwise we define our own bool type and values of size 1, which would
fail to compile under C23 as revealed by the broken test. (We'll
probably clean that dead code up in master, but here we want a minimal
back-able change.)

strings for 64-bit integers. However, INT64_HEX_FORMAT and
UINT64_HEX_FORMAT generate the output in hexadecimal instead of
decimal. Besides introducing these macros, this commit makes use
of them in several places. This was originally intended to be part
of commit
5d6187d2a2, but I left it out because I felt there was a
nonzero chance that back-ing these new macros into c.h could
cause problems with third-party code. We tend to be less cautious
with such changes in new major versions.
Note that UINT64_HEX_FORMAT was originally added in commit
ee1b30f128, but it was placed in test_radixtree.c, so it wasn't
widely available. This commit moves UINT64_HEX_FORMAT to c.h.

Commit
d39a49c1e4 added new fields to the struct, but missed the "keep
these last" comment on the previous fields. Add placeholder variables
so that the offsets of the fields are the same whether you build with
USE_OPENSSL or not. This is a courtesy to extensions that might peek
at the fields, to make the ABI the same regardless of the options used
to build PostgreSQL.
In reality, I don't expect any extensions to look at the 'raw_buf'
fields. Firstly, they are new in v17, so no one's written such
extensions yet. Secondly, extensions should have no business poking at
those fields anyway. Nevertheless, fix this properly on 'master'. On
v17, we mustn't change the memory layout, so just fix the comments.

If a user started a bulk write operation on a fork with existing data

This is not an issue for PostgreSQL itself, because we never use the

Previously we probed for CRC32 instructions by testing if they caused
SIGILL. Some have expressed doubts about that technique, the Linux
documentation advises not to use it, and it's not exactly beautiful.
Now that more operating systems expose CPU features to userspace via the
ELF loader in approximately the same way, let's use that instead.
This is expected to work on Linux, FreeBSD and recent OpenBSD.
OpenBSD/ARM has not been tested and is not present in our build farm,
but the API matches FreeBSD.
On macOS, compilers use a more recent baseline ISA so the runtime test
mechanism isn't reached. (A similar situation is expected for
Windows/ARM when that port lands.)
On NetBSD, runtime feature probing is lost for armv8-a builds. It looks
potentially doable with sysctl following the example of the cpuctl
program; es are welcome.
No back- for now, since we don't have any evidence of actual
breakage from the previous technique.

Thomas Munro [Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:53:21 +0000 (14:53 +1300)] jit: Use -mno-outline-atomics for bitcode on ARM.
If the executable's .o files were produced by a compiler (probably gcc)
not using -moutline-atomics, and the corresponding .bc files were
produced by clang using -moutline-atomics (probably by default), then
the generated bitcode functions would have the target attribute
"+outline-atomics", and could fail at runtime when inlined. If the
target ISA at bitcode generation time was armv8-a (the most conservative
aarch64 target, no LSE), then LLVM IR atomic instructions would generate
calls to functions in libgcc.a or libclang_rt.*.a that switch between
LL/SC and faster LSE instructions depending on a runtime AT_HWCAP check.
Since the corresponding .o files didn't need those functions, they
wouldn't have been included in the executable, and resolution would
fail.
At least Debian and Ubuntu are known to ship gcc and clang compilers
that target armv8-a but differ on the use of outline atomics by default.
Fix, by suppressing the outline atomics attribute in bitcode explicitly.
Inline LL/SC instructions will be generated for atomic operations in
bitcode built for armv8-a. Only configure scripts are adjusted for now,
because the meson build system doesn't generate bitcode yet.
This doesn't seem to be a new phenomenon, so real cases of functions
using atomics that are inlined by JIT must be rare in the wild given how
long it took for a bug report to arrive. The reported case could be
reduced to:
postgres=# set jit_inline_above_cost = 0;
SET
postgres=# set jit_above_cost = 0;
SET

Michael Paquier [Mon, 18 Nov 2024 01:08:20 +0000 (10:08 +0900)] Optimize pg_memory_is_all_zeros() in memutils.h
pg_memory_is_all_zeros() is currently implemented to do only a
byte-per-byte comparison. While being sufficient for its existing
callers for pgstats entries, it could lead to performance regressions
should it be used for larger memory areas, like 8kB blocks, or even
future commits.
This commit optimizes the implementation of this function to be more
efficient for larger sizes, written in a way so that compilers can
optimize the code. This is portable across 32b and 64b architectures.
The implementation handles three cases, depending on the size of the
input provided:
* If less than sizeof(size_t), do a simple byte-by-byte comparison.
* If between sizeof(size_t) and (sizeof(size_t) * 8 - 1):
** Phase 1: byte-by-byte comparison, until the pointer is aligned.
** Phase 2: size_t comparisons, with aligned pointers, up to the last
aligned location possible.
** Phase 3: byte-by-byte comparison, until the end location.
* If more than (sizeof(size_t) * 8) bytes, this is the same as case 2
except that an additional phase is placed between Phase 1 and Phase 2,
with 8 * sizeof(size_t) comparisons using bitwise OR, to encourage
compilers to use SIMD instructions if available.
The last improvement proves to be at least 3 times faster than the
size_t comparisons, which is something currently used for the all-zero
page check in PageIsVerifiedExtended().
The optimization tricks that would encourage the use of SIMD
instructions have been suggested by David Rowley.
