When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

This reverts commit 5887dd4894db5ac1c6411615160555ac6e57e49b.
Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change
"client_encoding" during a parallel operation". It looks like
assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a
client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a
failure. There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this
during local testing? In any case, it's clear that moving the
RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought.
Given that the bug f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported
for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not
willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our
next release wrap.
Parallel workers failed after a sequence like
BEGIN;
CREATE USER foo;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo;
because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted
pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState()
in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot.
The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups
and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing.
To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction
after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects
check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which
think they should only run during transaction start. Make them
act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should
silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker.
Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Back-patch to all

Backpatch to release 17 where these tests were introduced.
The problem is that the tool is using the LSN returned by
pg_create_logical_replication_slot() as recovery_target_lsn. This LSN is
ahead of the current WAL position and the recovery waits until the
publisher writes a WAL record to reach the target and ends the recovery.
On idle systems, this wait time is unpredictable and could lead to failure
in promoting the subscriber. To avoid that, insert a harmless WAL record.

The current method of coercing the boolean result value of
JsonPathExists() to the target type specified for an EXISTS column,
which is to call the type's input function via json_populate_type(),
leads to an error when the target type is integer, because the
integer input function doesn't recognize boolean literal values as
valid.
Instead use the boolean-to-integer cast function for coercion in that
case so that using integer or domains thereof as type for EXISTS
columns works. Note that coercion for ON ERROR values TRUE and FALSE
already works like that because the parser creates a cast expression
including the cast function, but the coercion of the actual result
value is not handled by the parser.

1. Remove the special case handling when casting the JsonBehavior
expressions to types with typmod, like 86d33987 did for the casting
of SQL/JSON constructor functions.
2. Fix casting for fixed-length character and bit string types by
using assignment-level casts. This is again similar to what
86d33987 did, but for ON ERROR / EMPTY expressions.
3. Use runtime coercion for the boolean ON ERROR constants so that
using fixed-length character string types, for example, for an
EXISTS column doesn't cause a "value too long for type
character(n)" when the parser tries to coerce the default ON ERROR
value "false" to that type, that is, even when clause is not
specified.
4. Simplify the conditions of when to use runtime coercion vs
creating the cast expression in the parser itself. jsonb-valued
expressions are now always coerced at runtime and boolean
expressions too if the target type is a string type for the
reasons mentioned above.
New tests are from a patch that Jian He posted. Outputs of some
existing tests change because the coercion now happens at runtime
instead of at parse time.

The initial implementation in commit 959b38d77 counted one action
per TOC entry (except for some special cases for multi-blob BLOBS
entries). This assumes that TOC entries are all about equally
complex, but it turns out that that assumption doesn't hold up very
well in binary-upgrade mode. For example, even after the previous
commit I was able to cause backend bloat with tables having many
inherited constraints. There may be other cases too. (Since no
serious problems have been reported with --single-transaction mode,
we can conclude that the backend copes well with psql's regular
restore scripts; but before 959b38d77 we never ran binary-upgrade
restores with multi-command transactions.)
To fix, count multi-command TOC entries as N actions, allowing the
transaction size to be scaled down when we hit a complex TOC entry.
Rather than add a SQL parser to pg_restore, approximate "multi
command" by counting semicolons in the TOC entry's defn string.
This will be fooled by semicolons appearing in string literals ---
but the error is in the conservative direction, so it doesn't seem
worth working harder. The biggest risk is with function/procedure
TOC entries, but we can just explicitly skip those.
(This is undoubtedly a hack, and maybe someday we'll be able to
revert it after fixing the backend's bloat issues or rethinking
what pg_dump emits in binary upgrade mode. But that surely isn't
a project for v17.)
Thanks to Alexander Korotkov for the let's-count-semicolons idea.

Avoid issuing a separate SQL UPDATE command for each column when
directly manipulating pg_attribute contents in binary upgrade mode.
With the separate updates, we triggered a relcache invalidation with
each update. For a table with N columns, that causes O(N^2) relcache
bloat in txn_size mode because the table's newly-created relcache
entry can't be flushed till end of transaction. Reducing the number
of commands should make it marginally faster as well as avoiding that
problem.
While at it, likewise avoid issuing a separate UPDATE on pg_constraint
for each inherited constraint. This is less exciting, first because
inherited (non-partitioned) constraints are relatively rare, and
second because the backend has a good deal of trouble anyway with
restoring tables containing many such constraints, due to
MergeConstraintsIntoExisting being horribly inefficient. But it seems
more consistent to do it this way here too, and it surely can't hurt.
In passing, fix one place in dumpTableSchema that failed to use ONLY
in ALTER TABLE. That's not a live bug, but it's inconsistent.
Also avoid silently casting away const from string literals.

Here we fix that by instead storing that value in an unsigned 64-bit type.

it does not seem worth risking backpatching further.

To build with -Dreadline=enabled one can use either readline or
libedit. The -Dlibedit_preferred flag is supposed to control the order
of names to lookup. This works fine when either both libraries are
present or -Dreadline is set to auto. However, explicitly enabling
readline with only libedit present, but not setting libedit_preferred,
or alternatively enabling readline with only readline present, but
setting libedit_preferred, too, are both broken. This is because
cc.find_library will throw an error for a not found dependency as soon
as the first required dependency is checked, thus it's impossible to
fallback to the alternative.
Here we only check the second of the two dependencies for
requiredness, thus we only fail when none of the two can be found.

When a standby is promoted, CleanupAfterArchiveRecovery() may decide
to rename the final WAL file from the old timeline by adding ".partial"
to the name. If WAL summarization is enabled and this file is renamed
before its partial contents are summarized, WAL summarization breaks:
the summarizer gets stuck at that point in the WAL stream and just
errors out.
To fix that, first make the startup process wait for WAL summarization
to catch up before renaming the file. Generally, this should be quick,
and if it's not, the user can shut off summarize_wal and try again.
To make this fix work, also teach the WAL summarizer that after a
promotion has occurred, no more WAL can appear on the previous
timeline: previously, the WAL summarizer wouldn't switch to the new
timeline until we actually started writing WAL there, but that meant
that when the startup process was waiting for the WAL summarizer, it
was waiting for an action that the summarizer wasn't yet prepared to
take.
In the process of fixing these bugs, I realized that the logic to wait
for WAL summarization to catch up was spread out in a way that made
it difficult to reuse properly, so this code refactors things to make
it easier.
Finally, add a test case that would have caught this bug and the
previously-fixed bug that WAL summarization sometimes needs to back up
when the timeline changes.

fact, when a timeline switch occurs without replaying all the WAL

Presently, pg_upgrade obtains the number of subscriptions in the
to-be-upgraded cluster by first querying pg_subscription in every
database for the number of subscriptions in only that database.
Then, in count_old_cluster_subscriptions(), it adds all the values
collected in the first step. This is expensive, especially when
there are many databases.
Fortunately, there is a better way to retrieve the subscription
count. Since pg_subscription is a shared catalog, we only need to
connect to a single database and query it once. This commit
modifies pg_upgrade to use that approach, which also allows us to
trim several lines of code. In passing, move the call to
