Due to oversights, the encrypt_iv() and decrypt_iv() functions failed to
report certain types of invalid-input errors, and would instead return
random garbage values.

strings.  This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString.  A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.

Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed.  There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).

This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring.  We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names.  Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught.  In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

for NULL-ness of function arguments is wasted code.

Few cleanups and couple of new things:

 - add SHA2 algorithm to older OpenSSL
 - add BIGNUM math to have public-key cryptography work on non-OpenSSL
   build.
 - gen_random_bytes() function

The status of SHA2 algoritms and public-key encryption can now be
changed to 'always available.'

That makes pgcrypto functionally complete and unless there will be new
editions of AES, SHA2 or OpenPGP standards, there is no major changes
planned.

in every shared library.

* Use error codes instead of -1
* px_strerror for new error codes
* calling convention change for px_gen_salt - return error code
* use px_strerror in pgcrypto.c

  It was a bad style to begin with, and now several loops can be clearer.
* pgcrypto.c: Fix function comments
* crypt-gensalt.c, crypt-blowfish.c: stop messing with errno
* openssl.c: use px_free instead pfree
* px.h: make redefining px_alloc/px_realloc/px_free easier

conversion of basic ASCII letters.  Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower.  These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion.  I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent.  Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

make sure the $Id tags are converted to $PostgreSQL as well ...

values; it's not portable to call them with signed chars.  I recall doing
this for the last release, but a few more uncasted calls have snuck in.

failures on FreeBSD.  This patch replaces uint -> unsigned.

This was reported by Daniel Holtzman against 0.4pre3 standalone
package, but it needs fixing in contrib/pgcrypto too.

tests pass.

salt generation code.  He also urged using better random source
and making possible to choose using bcrypt and xdes rounds more
easily.  So, here's patch:

* For all salt generation, use Solar Designer's own code.  This
  is mostly due fact that his code is more fit for get_random_bytes()
  style interface.
* New function: gen_salt(type, rounds).  This lets specify iteration
  count for algorithm.
* random.c: px_get_random_bytes() function.
  Supported randomness soure: /dev/urandom, OpenSSL PRNG, libc random()
  Default: /dev/urandom.
* Draft description of C API for pgcrypto functions.

New files: API, crypt-gensalt.c, random.c

* remove support for encode() as it is in main tree now
* remove krb5.c
* new 'PX library' architecture
* remove BSD license from my code to let the general
  PostgreSQL one to apply
* md5, sha1: ANSIfy, use const where appropriate
* various other formatting and clarity changes
* hmac()
* UN*X-like crypt() - system or internal crypt
* Internal crypt: DES, Extended DES, MD5, Blowfish
  crypt-des.c, crypt-md5.c from FreeBSD
  crypt-blowfish.c from Solar Designer
* gen_salt() for crypt() -  Blowfish, MD5, DES, Extended DES
* encrypt(), decrypt(), encrypt_iv(), decrypt_iv()
* Cipher support in mhash.c, openssl.c
* internal: Blowfish, Rijndael-128 ciphers
* blf.[ch], rijndael.[ch] from OpenBSD
* there will be generated file rijndael-tbl.inc.

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

timing, I know :))  At the moment the digest() function returns
hexadecimal coded hash, but I want it to return pure binary.  I
have also included functions encode() and decode() which support
'base64' and 'hex' encodings, so if anyone needs digest() in hex
he can do encode(digest(...), 'hex').

Main reason for it is "to do one thing and do it well" :)

Another reason is if someone needs really lot of digesting, in
the end he wants to store the binary not the hexadecimal result.
It is really silly to convert it to hex then back to binary
again.  As I said if someone needs hex he can get it.

Well, and the real reason that I am doing encrypt()/decrypt()
functions and _they_ return binary.  For testing I like to see
it in hex occasionally, but it is really wrong to let them
return hex.  Only now it caught my eye that hex-coding in
digest() is wrong.  When doing digest() I thought about 'common
case' but hacking with psql is probably _not_ the common case :)

revision 1.2

Eliminate some of the more blatant platform-dependencies ... it
builds here now, anyway ...
----------------------------

Which basically changes u_int*_t -> uint*_t, so now it does not
compile neither under Debian 2.2 nor under NetBSD 1.5 which
is platform independent<B8> all right.  Also it replaces $KAME$
with $Id$ which is Bad Thing. PostgreSQL Id should be added as a
separate line so the file history could be seen.

So here is patch:

* changes uint*_t -> uint*.  I guess that was the original
  intention
* adds uint64 type to include/c.h because its needed
  [somebody should check if I did it right]
* adds back KAME Id, because KAME is the master repository
* removes stupid c++ comments in pgcrypto.c
* removes <sys/types.h> from the code, its not needed

in pghackers list.  Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention.  pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'.  A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine.  See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.
