Backpatch to all live branches (12 and up).
After further review, we want to move in the direction of always
quoting GUC names in error messages, rather than the previous (PG16)
wildly mixed practice or the intermittent (mid-PG17) idea of doing
this depending on how possibly confusing the GUC name is.
This commit applies appropriate quotes to (almost?) all mentions of
GUC names in error messages. It partially supersedes a243569bf65 and
8d9978a7176, which had moved things a bit in the opposite direction
but which then were abandoned in a partial state.

The pgindent part of this is pretty small, consisting mainly of
fixing up self-inflicted formatting damage from patches that
hadn't bothered to add their new typedefs to typedefs.list.
In order to keep it from making anything worse, I manually added
a dozen or so typedefs that appeared in the existing typedefs.list
but not in the buildfarm's list. Perhaps we should formalize that,
or better find a way to get those typedefs into the automatic list.

This checks that certain I/O-related Perl functions properly check
their return value. Some parts of the PostgreSQL code had been a bit
sloppy about that. The new perlcritic warnings are fixed here. I
didn't design any beautiful error messages, mostly just used "or die
$!", which mostly matches existing code, and also this is
developer-level code, so having the system error plus source code
reference should be ok.
Initially, we only activate this check for a subset of what the
perlcritic check would warn about. The effective list is
chmod flock open read rename seek symlink system
The initial set of functions is picked because most existing code
already checked the return value of those, so any omissions are
probably unintended, or because it seems important for test
correctness.
The actual perlcritic configuration is written as an exclude list.
That seems better so that we are clear on what we are currently not
checking. Maybe future patches want to investigate checking some of
the other functions. (In principle, we might eventually want to check
all of them, but since this is test and build support code, not
production code, there are probably some reasonable compromises to be
made.)

are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make

when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine

We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got
away with using the wrong BIO field up until OpenSSL 3.2. There,
the library's BIO routines that we rely on use the "data" field
for their own purposes, and our conflicting use causes assorted
weird behaviors up to and including core dumps when SSL connections
are attempted. Switch to using the approved field for the purpose,
i.e. app_data.
While at it, remove our configure probes for BIO_get_data as well
as the fallback implementation. BIO_{get,set}_app_data have been
there since long before any OpenSSL version that we still support,
even in the back branches.

`openssl` is an optional dependency in the meson build as it may not be
installed in an environment even if SSL libraries are around. The meson
scripts assume that, but the SSL tests thought that it was a hard
dependency, causing a meson installation to fail if `openssl` could not
be found. Like similar tests that depend on external commands, and to

Backpatch-through: 16
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

The documentation and the code is generated automatically from a new
file called wait_event_names.txt, formatted in sections dedicated to
each wait event class (Timeout, Lock, IO, etc.) with three tab-separated
fields:
- C symbol in enums
- Format in the system views
- Description in the docs
Using this approach has several advantages, as we have proved to be
rather bad in maintaining this area of the tree across the years:
- The order of each item in the documentation and the code, which should
be alphabetical, has become incorrect multiple times, and the script
generating the code and documentation has a few rules to enforce that,
making the maintenance a no-brainer.
- Some wait events were added to the code, but not documented, so this
cannot be missed now.
- The order of the tables for each wait event class is enforced in the
documentation (the input .txt file does so as well for clarity, though
this is not mandatory).
- Less code, shaving 1.2k lines from the tree, with 1/3 of the savings
coming from the code, the rest from the documentation.
The wait event types "Lock" and "LWLock" still have their own code path
for their code, hence only the documentation is created for them. These
classes are listed with a special marker called WAIT_EVENT_DOCONLY in
the input file.
Adding a new wait event now requires only an update of
wait_event_names.txt, with "Lock" and "LWLock" treated as exceptions.

The error message for a missing or invalid system CA when using
sslrootcert=system differs based on the OpenSSL version used.
In OpenSSL 1.0.1-3.0 it is reported as SSL Error, with varying
degrees of helpfulness in the error message. With OpenSSL 3.1 it
is reported as an SSL SYSCALL error with "Undefined error" as
the error message. This fix pulls out the particular error in
OpenSSL 3.1 as a certificate verify error in order to help the
user better figure out what happened, and to keep the ssl test
working. While there is no evidence that extracing the errors
will clobber errno, this adds a guard against that regardless
to also make the consistent with how we handle OpenSSL errors
elsewhere. It also memorizes the output from OpenSSL 3.0 in
the test in cases where the system CA isn't responding.

This adds a new option to libpq's sslrootcert, "system", which will load
the system trusted CA roots for certificate verification. This is a more
convenient way to achieve this than pointing to the system CA roots
manually since the location can differ by installation and be locally
adjusted by env vars in OpenSSL.
When sslrootcert is set to system, sslmode is forced to be verify-full
as weaker modes aren't providing much security for public CAs.
Changing the location of the system roots by setting environment vars is
not supported by LibreSSL so the tests will use a heuristic to determine
if the system being tested is LibreSSL or OpenSSL.
The workaround in .cirrus.yml is required to handle a strange interaction
between homebrew and the openssl@3 formula; hopefully this can be removed
in the near future.

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).

The new connection parameter require_auth allows a libpq client to
define a list of comma-separated acceptable authentication types for use
with the server. There is no negotiation: if the server does not
present one of the allowed authentication requests, the connection
attempt done by the client fails.
The following keywords can be defined in the list:
- password, for AUTH_REQ_PASSWORD.
- md5, for AUTH_REQ_MD5.
- gss, for AUTH_REQ_GSS[_CONT].
- sspi, for AUTH_REQ_SSPI and AUTH_REQ_GSS_CONT.
- scram-sha-256, for AUTH_REQ_SASL[_CONT|_FIN].
- creds, for AUTH_REQ_SCM_CREDS (perhaps this should be removed entirely
now).
- none, to control unauthenticated connections.
All the methods that can be defined in the list can be negated, like
"!password", in which case the server must NOT use the listed
authentication type. The special method "none" allows/disallows the use
of unauthenticated connections (but it does not govern transport-level
authentication via TLS or GSSAPI).
Internally, the patch logic is tied to check_expected_areq(), that was
used for channel_binding, ensuring that an incoming request is
compatible with conn->require_auth. It also introduces a new flag,
conn->client_finished_auth, which is set by various authentication
routines when the client side of the handshake is finished. This
signals to check_expected_areq() that an AUTH_REQ_OK from the server is
expected, and allows the client to complain if the server bypasses
authentication entirely, with for example the reception of a too-early
AUTH_REQ_OK message.
Regression tests are added in authentication TAP tests for all the
keywords supported (except "creds", because it is around only for
compatibility reasons). A new TAP script has been added for SSPI, as
there was no script dedicated to it yet. It relies on SSPI being the
default authentication method on Windows, as set by pg_regress.

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

This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way
down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL

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

This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup,

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 test case introduces a revoked UTF-8 certificate. This requires the

Some of the test cases added by commit 3a0e38504 are failing

to slurp up the postmaster's log file before the connected backend

It's not clear whether that's fixable in any robust way. Pending
more thought, just comment out the log_like checks. The ones in

be emitted before we complete the client auth sequence. I took

Currently, debugging client certificate verification failures is
mostly limited to looking at the TLS alert code on the client side.
For simple deployments, sometimes it's enough to see "sslv3 alert
certificate revoked" and know exactly what needs to be fixed, but if
you add any more complexity (multiple CA layers, misconfigured CA
certificates, etc.), trying to debug what happened based on the TLS
alert alone can be an exercise in frustration.
Luckily, the server has more information about exactly what failed in
the chain, and we already have the requisite callback implemented as a
stub. We fill that in, collect the data, and pass the constructed
error message back to the main code via a static variable. This lets
us add our error details directly to the final "could not accept SSL
connection" log message, as opposed to issuing intermediate LOGs.
It ends up looking like
LOG: connection received: host=localhost port=43112
LOG: could not accept SSL connection: certificate verify failed
DETAIL: Client certificate verification failed at depth 1: unable to get local issuer certificate.
Failed certificate data (unverified): subject "/CN=Test CA for PostgreSQL SSL regression test client certs", serial number 2315134995201656577, issuer "/CN=Test root CA for PostgreSQL SSL regression test suite".
The length of the Subject and Issuer strings is limited to prevent
malicious client certs from spamming the logs. In case the truncation
makes things ambiguous, the certificate's serial number is also
logged.

The ssl test "IPv4 host with CIDR mask does not match" apparently has
a portability problem. Some operating systems don't reject the host
name specification "192.0.2.1/32" as an IP address, and that is then
later rejected when the SNI is set, which results in a different error
message that the test is supposed to verify.
The value of the test has been questioned in the discussion, and it
was suggested that removing it would be an acceptable fix, so that's
what this is doing.
