* Fix more wrong paths in header commentsAlexander Korotkov2018-07-11
| | | | | | | It appears that there are more files, whose header comment paths are wrong. So, fix those paths. No backpatching per proposal of Tom Lane. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPpHfdsJyYbOj59MOQL%2B4XxdcomLSLfLqBtAvwR%2BpsCqj3ELdQ%40mail.gmail.com
* Fix incorrect ordering of operations in pg_resetwal and pg_rewind.Tom Lane2018-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c37b3d08c dropped its added GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm call into the wrong place in pg_resetwal.c, namely after the chdir to DataDir. That broke invocations using a relative path, as reported by Tushar Ahuja. We could have left it where it was and changed the argument to be ".", but that'd result in a rather confusing error message in event of a failure, so re-ordering seems like a better solution. Similarly reorder operations in pg_rewind.c. The issue there is that it doesn't seem like a good idea to do any actual operations before the not-root check (on Unix) or the restricted token acquisition (on Windows). I don't know that this is an actual bug, but I'm definitely not convinced that it isn't, either. Assorted other code review for c37b3d08c and da9b580d8: fix some misspelled or otherwise badly worded comments, put the #include for <sys/stat.h> where it actually belongs, etc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/aeb9c3a7-3c3f-a57f-1a18-c8d4fcdc2a1f@enterprisedb.com
* Fix EXEC BACKEND + Windows builds for group privsStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Under EXEC BACKEND we also need to be going through the group privileges setup since we do support that on Unixy systems, so add that to SubPostmasterMain(). Under Windows, we need to simply return true from GetDataDirectoryCreatePerm(), but that wasn't happening due to a missing #else clause. Per buildfarm.
* Allow group access on PGDATAStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the group. This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security. The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA. Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster is init'd with the -g option. Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on the data directory permissions.

* Refactor dir/file permissionsStephen Frost2018-04-07
Consolidate directory and file create permissions for tools which work with the PG data directory by adding a new module (common/file_perm.c) that contains variables (pg_file_create_mode, pg_dir_create_mode) and constants to initialize them (0600 for files and 0700 for directories). Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG directories). Add tests to make sure permissions in PGDATA are set correctly by the tools which modify the PG data directory.
