Certain recovery tests use the Perl IPC::Run module's start/kill_kill
method of processing. On at least some versions of perl this causes the
whole process and its caller to crash. If we ever find a better way of
doing these tests they can be re-enabled on this platform. This does not
affect Mingw or Cygwin builds, which use a different perl and a
different shell and so are not affected.
Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to
multiple concepts. "LSN" is an unambiguous term for WAL locations and
should be preferred. Some function names, view column names, and function
output argument names used "lsn" already, but others used "location",
as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position". Since we've already
renamed a lot of things in this area from "xlog" to "wal" for v10,
we may as well incur a bit more compatibility pain and make these names
all consistent.

Both views replace the umoptions field with NULL when the user does not
meet qualifications to see it. They used different qualifications, and
pg_user_mappings documented qualifications did not match its implemented

Security: CVE-2017-7486
Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over
data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows
those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on
the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is
satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table
underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning
will proceed as if there are no statistics available.
At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only
situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or
not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

Security: CVE-2017-7484
Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long
time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're
messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway.
Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since
storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does
the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'.
Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept
--encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was
a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password
before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It
added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was
already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation
was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now.
Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for
'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted
value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing
'plain', but it seems better this way.

The salt is stored base64-encoded. With the old 10 bytes raw length, it was
always padded to 16 bytes after encoding. We might as well use 12 raw bytes
for the salt, and it's still encoded into 16 bytes.
Similarly for the random nonces, use a raw length that's divisible by 3, so
that there's no padding after base64 encoding. Make the nonces longer while
we're at it. 10 bytes was probably enough to prevent replay attacks, but
there's no reason to be skimpy here.

GiST's getNextNearest() function attempts to pfree the previously-returned
tuple if any (that is, scan->xs_hitup in HEAD, or scan->xs_itup in older
branches). However, if we are rescanning a plan node after ending a
previous scan early, those tuple pointers could be pointing to garbage,
because they would be pointing into the scan's pageDataCxt or queueCxt
which has been reset. In a debug build this reliably results in a crash,
although I think it might sometimes accidentally fail to fail in
production builds.
To fix, clear the pointer field anyplace we reset a context it might
be pointing into. This may be overkill --- I think probably only the
queueCxt case is involved in this bug, so that resetting in gistrescan()
would be sufficient --- but dangling pointers are generally bad news,
so let's avoid them.
Another plausible answer might be to just not bother with the pfree in
getNextNearest(). The reconstructed tuples would go away anyway in the
context resets, and I'm far from convinced that freeing them a bit earlier
really saves anything meaningful. I'll stick with the original logic in
this patch, but if we find more problems in the same area we should
consider that approach.
Per bug #14641 from Denis Smirnov. Back-patch to 9.5 where this
logic was introduced.

This removes a test case added by commit b69ec7cc9, which was intended
to exercise a corner case involving the rule used at that time that
materialized views were unpopulated iff they had physical size zero.
We got rid of that rule very shortly later, in commit 1d6c72a55, but
kept the test case. However, because the case now asks what VACUUM
will do to a zero-sized physical file, it would be pretty surprising
if the answer were ever anything but "nothing" ... and if things were
indeed that broken, surely we'd find it out from other tests. Since
the test involves a table that's fairly large by regression-test
standards (100K rows), it's quite slow to run. Dropping it should
save some buildfarm cycles, so let's do that.

If the inner relation can be proven unique, that is it can have no more
than one matching row for any row of the outer query, then we might as
well implement the semijoin as a plain inner join, allowing substantially
more freedom to the planner. This is a form of outer join strength
reduction, but it can't be implemented in reduce_outer_joins() because
we don't have enough info about the individual relations at that stage.
Instead do it much like remove_useless_joins(): once we've built base
relations, we can make another pass over the SpecialJoinInfo list and
get rid of any entries representing reducible semijoins.
This is essentially a followon to the inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a)
and makes use of the proof machinery that that patch created. We need only
minor refactoring of innerrel_is_unique's API to support this usage.

The inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a) supposed that if we're
considering a JOIN_UNIQUE_INNER join path, we can always set inner_unique
for the join, because the inner path produced by create_unique_path should
be unique relative to the outer relation. However, that's true only if
we're considering joining to the whole outer relation --- otherwise we may
be applying only some of the join quals, and so the inner path might be
non-unique from the perspective of this join. Adjust the test to only
believe that we can set inner_unique if we have the whole semijoin LHS on
the outer side.
There is more that can be done in this area, but this commit is only
intended to provide the minimal fix needed to get correct plans.

Convert the binary_coercible() and physically_coercible() functions from
SQL to plpgsql. It's not that plpgsql is inherently better at doing
queries; if you simply convert the previous single SQL query into one
RETURN expression, it's no faster. The problem with the existing code
is that it fools the plancache into deciding that it's worth re-planning
the query every time, since constant-folding with a concrete value for $2
allows elimination of at least one sub-SELECT. In reality that's using the
planner to do the equivalent of a few runtime boolean tests, causing the
function to run much slower than it should. Splitting the AND/OR logic
into separate plpgsql statements allows each if-expression to acquire a
static plan.
Also, get rid of some uses of obj_description() in favor of explicitly
joining to pg_description, allowing the joins to be optimized better.
(Someday we might improve the SQL-function-inlining logic enough that
this happens automatically, but today is not that day.)
Together, these changes reduce the runtime of the opr_sanity regression
test by about a factor of two on one of my slower machines. They don't
seem to help as much on a fast machine, but this should at least benefit
the buildfarm.
Currently, trying to validate a NO INHERIT constraint on the parent will
search for the constraint in child tables (where it is not supposed to
exist), wrongly causing a "constraint does not exist" error.

Before restarting a tablesync worker for the same relation, wait
wal_retrieve_retry_interval (currently 5s by default). This avoids
restarting failing workers in a tight loop.
We keep the last start times in a hash table last_start_times that is
separate from the table_states list, because that list is cleared out on
syscache invalidation, which happens whenever a table finishes syncing.
The hash table is kept until all tables have finished syncing.
A future project might be to unify these two and keep everything in one
data structure, but for now this is a less invasive change to accomplish
the original purpose.
For the test suite, set wal_retrieve_retry_interval to its minimum
value, to not increase the test suite run time.

Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions,
evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating
partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the
TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate
PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the
syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints
or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or
partitions.
Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not
necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is
now optional.
Our general rule for pg_get_X(oid) functions is to simply return NULL
when passed an invalid or inappropriate OID. Teach pg_get_partkeydef to
do this also, making it easier for users to use this function when
querying against tables with both partitions and non-partitions (such as
pg_class).
As a concrete example, this makes pg_dump's life a little easier.

In quorum-based synchronous replication, all the standbys listed in

as synchronous standbys. So they should have the same priority.
However, previously, quorum standbys whose names appear earlier

those priority values didn't affect the selection of synchronous standbys.
Users could see those "meaningless" priority values in pg_stat_replication

archive_command and restore_command need to refer to Windows paths, not
Msys virtual file system paths, as postgres is completely unaware of the
latter, so prefix them with the Windows path to the virtual file system
root. Clean psql and pg_recvlogical output of carriage returns.
PostgresNode blithely ignored the exit status of pg_ctl, and in general
made no effort to be sure that the server was running when it should be.
This caused it to miss server crashes, which is a serious shortcoming
in a test scaffold. Make it complain if pg_ctl fails, and modify the
start and stop logic to complain if the server doesn't start, or doesn't
stop, when expected.
Also, have it turn off the "restart_after_crash" configuration parameter
in created clusters, as bitter experience has shown that leaving that on
can mask crashes too.
We might at some point need variant functions that allow for, eg,
server start failure to be expected. But no existing test case appears
to want that, and it surely shouldn't be the default behavior.
Note that this *will* break the buildfarm, as it will expose known
bugs that the previous testing failed to. I'm committing it despite

Although the documentation for append_conf said clearly that it didn't
add a newline, many test authors seem to have forgotten that ... or maybe
they just consulted the example at the top of the POD documentation,
which clearly shows adding a config entry without bothering to add a
trailing newline. The worst part of that is that it works, as long as
you don't do it more than once, since the backend isn't picky about
whether config files end with newlines. So there's not a strong forcing
function reminding test authors not to do it like that. Upshot is that
this is a terribly fragile way to go about things, and there's at least
one existing test case that is demonstrably broken and not testing what
it thinks it is.
Let's just make append_conf append a newline, instead; that is clearly
way safer than the old definition.
I also cleaned up a few call sites that were unnecessarily ugly.
(I left things alone in places where it's plausible that additional
config lines would need to be added someday.)
Back-patch the change in append_conf itself to 9.6 where it was added,
as having a definitional inconsistency between branches would obviously
be pretty hazardous for back-patching TAP tests. The other changes are
just cosmetic and don't need to be back-patched.

It doesn't make any immediate difference to PostgreSQL, but might as well
follow the standard, since one exists. (I looked at RFC 5803 earlier, but
didn't fully understand it back then.)
The new format uses Base64 instead of hex to encode StoredKey and
ServerKey, which makes the verifiers slightly smaller. Using the same
encoding for the salt and the keys also means that you only need one
encoder/decoder instead of two. Although we have code in the backend to
do both, we are talking about teaching libpq how to create SCRAM verifiers
for PQencodePassword(), and libpq doesn't currently have any code for hex
encoding.

is_parallel_safe() supposed that the only relevant property of a SubPlan
was the parallel safety of the referenced subplan tree. This is wrong:
the testexpr or args subtrees might contain parallel-unsafe stuff, as
demonstrated by the test case added here. However, just recursing into the
subtrees fails in a different way: we'll typically find PARAM_EXEC Params
representing the subplan's output columns in the testexpr. The previous
coding supposed that any Param must be treated as parallel-restricted, so
that a naive attempt at fixing this disabled parallel pushdown of SubPlans
altogether. We must instead determine, for any visited Param, whether it
is one that would be computed by a surrounding SubPlan node; if so, it's
safe to push down along with the SubPlan node.
We might later be able to extend this logic to cope with Params used for
correlated subplans and other cases; but that's a task for v11 or beyond.

Since it appears that v10 is going to move the goalposts by some amount
in terms of where you can and can't invoke set-returning functions,
arrange for the executor's "set-valued function called in context that
cannot accept a set" errors to include a syntax position if possible,
pointing to the specific SRF that can't be called where it's located.
The main bit of infrastructure needed for this is to make the query source
text accessible in the executor; but it turns out that commit 4c728f382
already did that. We just need a new function executor_errposition()
modeled on parser_errposition(), and we're ready to rock.
While experimenting with this, I noted that the error position wasn't
properly reported if it occurred in a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop,
which turned out to be because SPI_cursor_open_internal wasn't providing
an error context callback during PortalStart. Fix that.
There's a whole lot more that could be done with this infrastructure
now that it's there, but this is not the right time in the development
cycle for that sort of work. Hence, resist the temptation to plaster
executor_errposition() calls everywhere ... for the moment.
