      Make PostgresNode.pm check server status more carefully. · 7d68f228
      Tom Lane authored
      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
      that, to verify that we get the expected failures in the buildfarm
      not just in manual testing.
      
      Back-patch into 9.6 where PostgresNode was introduced.  (The 9.6
      branch is not expected to show any failures.)

      Make PostgresNode::append_conf append a newline automatically. · 8a19c1a3
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Require sufficiently modern version of Test::More for TAP tests · f92562ad
      Andrew Dunstan authored
      Ancient versions of Test::More don't support the note() function used in
      some TAP tests, so we require the minimum version of the module that
      does.

      Partially revert commit 536d47bd. · 5041cdf2
      Tom Lane authored
      Per buildfarm, the "#ifdef F_SETFD" removed in that commit actually
      is needed on Windows, because fcntl() isn't available at all on that
      platform, unless using Cygwin.  We could perhaps spell it more like
      "#ifdef HAVE_FCNTL", or "#ifndef WIN32", but it's not clear that
      those choices are better.
      
      It does seem that we don't need the bogus manual definition of
      FD_CLOEXEC, though, so keep that change.

      Avoid depending on non-POSIX behavior of fcntl(2). · 3e51725b
      Tom Lane authored
      The POSIX standard does not say that the success return value for
      fcntl(F_SETFD) and fcntl(F_SETFL) is zero; it says only that it's not -1.
      We had several calls that were making the stronger assumption.  Adjust
      them to test specifically for -1 for strict spec compliance.
      
      The standard further leaves open the possibility that the O_NONBLOCK
      flag bit is not the only active one in F_SETFL's argument.  Formally,
      therefore, one ought to get the current flags with F_GETFL and store
      them back with only the O_NONBLOCK bit changed when trying to change
      the nonblock state.  In port/noblock.c, we were doing the full pushup
      in pg_set_block but not in pg_set_noblock, which is just weird.  Make
      both of them do it properly, since they have little business making
      any assumptions about the socket they're handed.  The other places
      where we're issuing F_SETFL are working with FDs we just got from
      pipe(2), so it's reasonable to assume the FDs' properties are all
      default, so I didn't bother adding F_GETFL steps there.
      
      Also, while pg_set_block deserves some points for trying to do things
      right, somebody had decided that it'd be even better to cast fcntl's
      third argument to "long".  Which is completely loony, because POSIX
      clearly says the third argument for an F_SETFL call is "int".
      
      Given the lack of field complaints, these missteps apparently are not
      of significance on any common platforms.  But they're still wrong,
      so back-patch to all supported branches.

      Change the on-disk format of SCRAM verifiers to conform to RFC 5803. · 68e61ee7
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      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.
      
      Bump catversion, because this renders any existing SCRAM verifiers in
      pg_authid invalid.

      Remove long-obsolete catering for platforms without F_SETFD/FD_CLOEXEC. · 536d47bd
      Tom Lane authored
      SUSv2 mandates that <fcntl.h> provide both F_SETFD and FD_CLOEXEC,
      so it seems pretty unlikely that any platforms remain without those.
      Remove the #ifdef-ery installed by commit 7627b91c to see if the
      buildfarm agrees.
