2f094e7ac6 SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ)
Implementation of SQL property graph queries, according to SQL/PGQ
standard (ISO/IEC 9075-16:2023).

This adds:

- GRAPH_TABLE table function for graph pattern matching
- DDL commands CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROPERTY GRAPH
- several new system catalogs and information schema views
- psql \dG command
- pg_get_propgraphdef() function for pg_dump and psql

A property graph is a relation with a new relkind RELKIND_PROPGRAPH.
It acts like a view in many ways.  It is rewritten to a standard
relational query in the rewriter.  Access privileges act similar to a
security invoker view.  (The security definer variant is not currently
implemented.)

Starting documentation can be found in doc/src/sgml/ddl.sgml and
doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml.

fd6ecbfa75 Ensure "still waiting on lock" message is logged only once per wait.
When log_lock_waits is enabled, the "still waiting on lock" message is normally
emitted only once while a session continues waiting. However, if the wait is
interrupted, for example by wakeups from client_connection_check_interval,
SIGHUP for configuration reloads, or similar events, the message could be
emitted again each time the wait resumes.

For example, with very small client_connection_check_interval values
(e.g., 100 ms), this behavior could flood the logs with repeated messages,
making them difficult to use.

To prevent this, this commit guards the "still waiting on lock" message so
it is reported at most once during a lock wait, even if the wait is interrupted.
This preserves the intended behavior when no interrupts occur.

c336133c65 Reject ALTER TABLE .. CLUSTER earlier for partitioned tables
ALTER TABLE .. CLUSTER ON and SET WITHOUT CLUSTER are not supported for
partitioned tables and already fail with a check happening when the
sub-command is executed, not when it is prepared.

This commit moves the relkind check for partitioned tables to happen
when the sub-command is prepared in ATSimplePermissions().  This matches
with the practice of the other sub-commands of ALTER TABLE, shaving one
translatable string.

mark_index_clustered() can be a bit simplified, switching one
elog(ERROR) to an assertion.  Note that mark_index_clustered() can also
be called through a CLUSTER command, but it cannot be reached for a
partitioned table, per the assertion based on the relkind in
cluster_rel(), and there is only one caller of rebuild_relation().

bfa3c4f106 Optimize hash index bulk-deletion with streaming read
This commit refactors hashbulkdelete() to use streaming reads, improving
the efficiency of the operation by prefetching upcoming buckets while
processing a current bucket.  There are some specific changes required
to make sure that the cleanup work happens in accordance to the data
pushed to the stream read callback.  When the cached metadata page is
refreshed to be able to process the next set of buckets, the stream is
reset and the data fed to the stream read callback has to be updated.
The reset needs to happen in two code paths, when _hash_getcachedmetap()
is called.

The author has seen better performance numbers than myself on this one
(with tweaks similar to 6c228755ad).  The numbers are good enough for
both of us that this change is worth doing, in terms of IO and runtime.

82ff54377e Move -ffast-math defense to float.c and remove the configure check.
We had defenses against -ffast-math in timestamp-related files,
which is a pretty obsolete place for them since we've not supported
floating-point timestamps in a long time.  Remove those and instead
put one in float.c, which is still broken by using this switch.
Add some commentary to put more color on why it's a bad idea.

Also remove the check from configure.  That was just there to fail
faster, but it doesn't really seem necessary anymore, and besides
we have no corresponding check in meson.build.

c456e39113 Optimize tuple deformation
This commit includes various optimizations to improve the performance of
tuple deformation.

We now precalculate CompactAttribute's attcacheoff, which allows us to
remove the code from the deform routines which was setting the
attcacheoff.  Setting the attcacheoff is now handled by
TupleDescFinalize(), which must be called before the TupleDesc is used for
anything.  Having TupleDescFinalize() means we can store the first
attribute in the TupleDesc which does not have an offset cached.  That
allows us to add a dedicated deforming loop to deform all attributes up
to the final one with an attcacheoff set, or up to the first NULL
attribute, whichever comes first.

Here we also improve tuple deformation performance of tuples with NULLs.
Previously, if the HEAP_HASNULL bit was set in the tuple's t_infomask,
deforming would, one-by-one, check each and every bit in the NULL bitmap
to see if it was zero.  Now, we process the NULL bitmap 1 byte at a time
rather than 1 bit at a time to find the attnum with the first NULL.  We
can now deform the tuple without checking for NULLs up to just before that
attribute.

We also record the maximum attribute number which is guaranteed to exist
in the tuple, that is, has a NOT NULL constraint and isn't an
atthasmissing attribute.  When deforming only attributes prior to the
guaranteed attnum, we've no need to access the tuple's natt count.  As an
additional optimization, we only count fixed-width columns when
calculating the maximum guaranteed column, as this eliminates the need to
emit code to fetch byref types in the deformation loop for guaranteed
attributes.

Some locations in the code deform tuples that have yet to go through NOT
NULL constraint validation.  We're unable to perform the guaranteed
attribute optimization when that's the case.  This optimization is opt-in
via the TupleTableSlot using the TTS_FLAG_OBEYS_NOT_NULL_CONSTRAINTS
flag.

This commit also adds a more efficient way of populating the isnull
array by using a bit-wise SWAR trick which performs multiplication on the
inverse of the tuple's bitmap byte and masking out all but the lower bit
of each of the boolean's byte.  This results in much more optimal code
when compared to determining the NULLness via att_isnull().  8 isnull
elements are processed at once using this method, which means we need to
round the tts_isnull array size up to the next 8 bytes.  The palloc code
does this anyway, but the round-up needed to be formalized so as not to
overwrite the sentinel byte in MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds.  Doing
this also allows the NULL-checking deforming loop to more efficiently
check the isnull array, rather than doing the bit-wise processing for each
attribute that att_isnull() does.

The level of performance improvement from these changes seems to vary
depending on the CPU architecture.  Apple's M chips seem particularly
fond of the changes, with some of the tested deform-heavy queries going
over twice as fast as before.  With x86-64, the speedups aren't quite as
large.  With tables containing only a small number of columns, the
speedups will be less.

503620311e Add all required calls to TupleDescFinalize()
As of this commit all TupleDescs must have TupleDescFinalize() called on
them once the TupleDesc is set up and before BlessTupleDesc() is called.

In this commit, TupleDescFinalize() does nothing. This change has only
been separated out from the commit that properly implements this function
to make the change more obvious.  Any extension which makes its own
TupleDesc will need to be modified to call the new function.

The follow-up commit which properly implements TupleDescFinalize() will
cause any code which forgets to do this to fail in assert-enabled builds in
BlessTupleDesc().  It may still be worth mentioning this change in the
release notes so that extension authors update their code.

e5a77d876d Save a few bytes per CatCTup.
CatalogCacheCreateEntry() computed the space needed for a CatCTup
as sizeof(CatCTup) + MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF.  That's not our usual style,
and it wastes memory by allocating more padding than necessary.
On 64-bit machines sizeof(CatCTup) would be maxaligned already
since it contains pointer fields, therefore this code is wasting
8 bytes compared to the more usual MAXALIGN(sizeof(CatCTup)).

While at it, we don't really need to do MemoryContextSwitchTo()
when we're only allocating one block.

2eb87345e1 Fix aclitemout() to work during early bootstrap.
"initdb -d" has been broken since commit f95d73ed4, because I changed
aclitemin to work in bootstrap mode but failed to consider aclitemout.
That routine isn't reached by default, but it is if the elog message
level is high enough, so it needs to work without catalog access too.

This patch just makes it use its existing code paths to print role
OIDs numerically.  We could alternatively invent an inverse of
boot_get_role_oid() and print them symbolically, but that would take
more code and it's not apparent that it'd be any better for debugging
purposes.

02eecead86 Tighten asserts on ParallelWorkerNumber
The comment about ParallelWorkerNumbr in parallel.c says:

  In parallel workers, it will be set to a value >= 0 and < the number
  of workers before any user code is invoked; each parallel worker will
  get a different parallel worker number.

However asserts in various places collecting instrumentation allowed
(ParallelWorkerNumber == num_workers). That would be a bug, as the value
is used as index into an array with num_workers entries.

Fixed by adjusting the asserts accordingly. Backpatch to all supported
versions.

8a879119a1 Use fake LSNs to improve nbtree dropPin behavior.
Use fake LSNs in all nbtree critical sections that write a WAL record.
That way we can safely apply the _bt_killitems LSN trick with logged and
unlogged indexes alike.  This brings the same benefits to plain scans of
unlogged relations that commit 2ed5b87f brought to plain scans of logged
relations: scans will drop their leaf page pin eagerly (by applying the
"dropPin" optimization), which avoids blocking progress by VACUUM.  This
is particularly helpful with applications that allow a scrollable cursor
to remain idle for long periods.

Preparation for an upcoming commit that will add the amgetbatch
interface, and switch nbtree over to it (from amgettuple) to enable I/O
prefetching.  The index prefetching read stream's effective prefetch
distance is adversely affected by any buffer pins held by the index AM.
At the same time, it can be useful for prefetching to read dozens of
leaf pages ahead of the scan to maintain an adequate prefetch distance.

The index prefetching patch avoids this tension by always eagerly
dropping index page pins of the kind traditionally held as an interlock
against unsafe concurrent TID recycling by VACUUM (essentially the same
way that amgetbitmap routines have always avoided holding onto pins).
The work from this commit makes that possible during scans of nbtree
unlogged indexes -- without our having to give up on setting LP_DEAD
bits on index tuples altogether.

Follow-up to commit d774072f, which moved the fake LSN infrastructure
out of GiST so that it could be used by other index AMs.

b1f14c9672 Use GetXLogInsertEndRecPtr in gistGetFakeLSN
The function used GetXLogInsertRecPtr() to generate the fake LSN. Most
of the time this is the same as what XLogInsert() would return, and so
it works fine with the XLogFlush() call. But if the last record ends at
a page boundary, GetXLogInsertRecPtr() returns LSN pointing after the
page header. In such case XLogFlush() fails with errors like this:

  ERROR: xlog flush request 0/01BD2018 is not satisfied --- flushed only to 0/01BD2000

Such failures are very hard to trigger, particularly outside aggressive
test scenarios.

Fixed by introducing GetXLogInsertEndRecPtr(), returning the correct LSN
without skipping the header. This is the same as GetXLogInsertRecPtr(),
except that it calls XLogBytePosToEndRecPtr().

Initial investigation by me, root cause identified by Andres Freund.

This is a long-standing bug in gistGetFakeLSN(), probably introduced by
c6b92041d3 in PG13. Backpatch to all supported versions.

ce5d489166 Fix bug due to confusion about what IsMVCCSnapshot means
In 0b96e734c5 I (Andres) relied on page_collect_tuples() being called only
with an MVCC snapshot, and added assertions to that end, but did not realize
that IsMVCCSnapshot() allows both proper MVCC snapshots and historical
snapshots, which behave quite similarly to MVCC snapshots.

Unfortunately that can lead to incorrect visibility results during logical
decoding, as a historical snapshot is interpreted as a plain MVCC
snapshot. The only reason this wasn't noticed earlier is that it's hard to
reach as most of the time there are no sequential scans during logical
decoding.

To fix the bug and avoid issues like this in the future, split
IsMVCCSnapshot() into IsMVCCSnapshot() and IsMVCCLikeSnapshot(), where now
only the latter includes historic snapshots.

One effect of this is that during logical decoding no page-at-a-time snapshots
are used, as otherwise runtime branches to handle historic snapshots would be
needed in some performance critical paths. Given how uncommon sequential scans
are during logical decoding, that seems acceptable.

e0a3a3fd53 Optimize COPY FROM (FORMAT {text,csv}) using SIMD.
Presently, such commands scan the input buffer one byte at a time
looking for special characters.  This commit adds a new path that
uses SIMD instructions to skip over chunks of data without any
special characters.  This can be much faster.

To avoid regressions, SIMD processing is disabled for the remainder
of the COPY FROM command as soon as we encounter a short line or a
special character (except for end-of-line characters, else we'd
always disable it after the first line).  This is perhaps too
conservative, but it could probably be made more lenient in the
future via fine-tuned heuristics.

f9de9bf302 Add callback for I/O error messages in SLRUs
Historically, all SLRUs were addressed by transaction IDs, but that
hasn't been true for a long time. However, the error message on I/O
error still always talked about accessing a transaction ID.

This commit adds a callback that allows subsystems to construct their
own error messages, which can then correctly refer to a transaction
ID, multixid or whatever else is used to address the particular SLRU.

fa6f2f624c Rework ginScanToDelete() to pass Buffers instead of BlockNumbers.
Previously, ginScanToDelete() and ginDeletePage() passed BlockNumbers and
re-read pages that were already pinned and locked during the tree walk.  The
caller ginVacuumPostingTree()) held a cleanup-locked root buffer, yet
ginScanToDelete() re-read it by block number with special-case code to skip
re-locking.

At first, this commit gives both functions more appropriate names,
ginScanPostingTreeToDelete() and ginDeletePostingPage(), indicating they deal
with posting trees/pages.  This is more descriptive and similar to the way we
name other GIN functions, for instance, ginVacuumPostingTree() and
ginVacuumPostingTreeLeaves().

Then rework both functions to pass Buffers directly.  DataPageDeleteStack now
carries buffer, myoff (downlink offset in parent), and isRoot per level,
so ginScanPostingTreeToDelete() takes only GinVacuumState and
DataPageDeleteStack pointers.  Also, ginDeletePostingPage() receives the three
Buffers directly, and no longer reads or releases them itself.  The caller
reads and locks child pages before recursing, and manages buffer lifecycle
afterward.

This eliminates the confusing isRoot special cases in buffer management,
including the apparent (but unreachable) double release of the root
buffer identified by Andres Freund.

Add comments explaining the locking protocol and the DataPageDeleteStack
structure.

a0b6ef29a5 Enable fast default for domains with non-volatile constraints
Previously, ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN always forced a table rewrite when
the column type was a domain with constraints (CHECK or NOT NULL), even
if the default value satisfied those constraints.  This was because
contain_volatile_functions() considers CoerceToDomain immutable, so
the code conservatively assumed any constrained domain might fail.

Improve this by using soft error handling (ErrorSaveContext) to evaluate
the CoerceToDomain expression at ALTER TABLE time.  If the default value
passes the domain's constraints, the value is stored as a "missing"
attribute default and no table rewrite is needed.  If the constraint
check fails, we fall back to a table rewrite, preserving the historical
behavior that constraint violations are only raised when the table
actually contains rows.

Domains with volatile constraint expressions always require a table
rewrite since the constraint result could differ per evaluation and
cannot be cached.

Avoid allocating memory for an nbtree descent stack during index scans.
We only require a descent stack during inserts, when it is used to
determine where to insert a new pivot tuple/downlink into the target
leaf page's parent page in the event of a page split.  (Page deletion's
first phase also performs a _bt_search that requires a descent stack.)

This optimization improves performance by minimizing palloc churn.  It
speeds up index scans that call _bt_search frequently/descend the index

(e.g., with index-only skip scans).  Testing has shown that the

383eb21ebf Convert NOT IN sublinks to anti-joins when safe
The planner has historically been unable to convert "x NOT IN (SELECT
y ...)" sublinks into anti-joins.  This is because standard SQL
semantics for NOT IN require that if the comparison "x = y" returns
NULL, the "NOT IN" expression evaluates to NULL (effectively false),
causing the row to be discarded.  In contrast, an anti-join preserves
the row if no match is found.  Due to this semantic mismatch regarding
NULL handling, the conversion was previously considered unsafe.

However, if we can prove that neither side of the comparison can yield
NULL values, and further that the operator itself cannot return NULL
for non-null inputs, the behavior of NOT IN and anti-join becomes
identical.  Enabling this conversion allows the planner to treat the
sublink as a first-class relation rather than an opaque SubPlan
filter.  This unlocks global join ordering optimization and permits
the selection of the most efficient join algorithm based on cost,
often yielding significant performance improvements for large
datasets.

This patch verifies that neither side of the comparison can be NULL
and that the operator is safe regarding NULL results before performing
the conversion.

To verify operator safety, we require that the operator be a member of
a B-tree or Hash operator family.  This serves as a proxy for standard
boolean behavior, ensuring the operator does not return NULL on valid
non-null inputs, as doing so would break index integrity.

For operand non-nullability, this patch makes use of several existing
mechanisms.  It leverages the outer-join-aware-Var infrastructure to
verify that a Var does not come from the nullable side of an outer
join, and consults the NOT-NULL-attnums hash table to efficiently
verify schema-level NOT NULL constraints.  Additionally, it employs
find_nonnullable_vars to identify Vars forced non-nullable by qual
clauses, and expr_is_nonnullable to deduce non-nullability for other
expression types.

The logic for verifying the non-nullability of the subquery outputs
was adapted from prior work by David Rowley and Tom Lane.

When changing from NOT ENFORCED to ENFORCED, the operation not only

Phase 3 to validate that existing data satisfies the constraint.

For partitioned tables and inheritance hierarchies, the operation
recurses to all child tables.  When changing to NOT ENFORCED, we must

a766125efd bufmgr: Switch to standard order in MarkBufferDirtyHint()
When we were updating hint bits with just a share lock MarkBufferDirtyHint()
had to use a non-standard order of operations, i.e. WAL log the buffer before
marking the buffer dirty. This was required because the lock level used to set
hints did not conflict with the lock level that was used to flush pages, which
would have allowed flushing the page out before the WAL record. The
non-standard order in turn required preventing the checkpoint from starting
between writing the WAL record and flushing out the page.

Now that setting hints and writing out buffers use share-exclusive, we can
revert back to the normal order of operations.

still wrapped in a struct.

This also adjusts heapfuncs() in pageinspect, to ensure proper alignment

29a0fb2157 Conditional locking in pgaio_worker_submit_internal
With io_method=worker, there's a single I/O submission queue. With
enough workers, the backends and workers may end up spending a lot of
time competing for the AioWorkerSubmissionQueueLock lock. This can
happen with workloads that keep the queue full, in which case it's
impossible to add requests to the queue. Increasing the number of I/O
workers increases the pressure on the lock, worsening the issue.

This change improves the situation in two ways:

* If AioWorkerSubmissionQueueLock can't be acquired without waiting,
  the I/O is performed synchronously (as if the queue was full).

* When an entry can't be added to a full queue, stop trying to add more
  entries. All remaining entries are handled as synchronous I/O.

d537f59fbb Sort out table_open vs. relation_open in rewriter
table_open() is a wrapper around relation_open() that checks that the

It is best used in directly user-facing areas to check that the user
used the right kind of command for the relkind.  In internal uses
where the relkind was previously checked from the user's perspective,
table_open() is not necessary and might even be confusing if it were
to give out-of-context error messages.

In rewriteHandler.c, there were several such table_open() calls, which
this changes to relation_open().  This currently doesn't make a
difference, but there are plans to have other relkinds that could
appear in the rewriter but that shouldn't be accessible via
table-specific commands, and this clears the way for that.

82467f627b Require share-exclusive lock to set hint bits and to flush
At the moment hint bits can be set with just a share lock on a page (and,
until 45f658dacb, in one case even without any lock). Because of this we need
to copy pages while writing them out, as otherwise the checksum could be
corrupted.

The need to copy the page is problematic to implement AIO writes:

1) Instead of just needing a single buffer for a copied page we need one for
   each page that's potentially undergoing I/O
2) To be able to use the "worker" AIO implementation the copied page needs to
   reside in shared memory

It also causes problems for using unbuffered/direct-IO, independent of AIO:
Some filesystems, raid implementations, ... do not tolerate the data being
written out to change during the write. E.g. they may compute internal
checksums that can be invalidated by concurrent modifications, leading e.g. to
filesystem errors (as the case with btrfs).

It also just is plain odd to allow modifications of buffers that are just
share locked.

To address these issues, this commit changes the rules so that modifications
to pages are not allowed anymore while holding a share lock. Instead the new
share-exclusive lock (introduced in fcb9c977aa) allows at most one backend to
modify a buffer while other backends have the same page share locked. An
existing share-lock can be upgraded to a share-exclusive lock, if there are no
conflicting locks. For that BufferBeginSetHintBits()/BufferFinishSetHintBits()
and BufferSetHintBits16() have been introduced.

To prevent hint bits from being set while the buffer is being written out,
writing out buffers now requires a share-exclusive lock.

The use of share-exclusive to gate setting hint bits means that from now on
only one backend can set hint bits at a time. To allow multiple backends to
set hint bits would require more complicated locking: For setting hint bits
we'd need to store the count of backends currently setting hint bits and we
would need another lock-level for I/O conflicting with the lock-level to set
hint bits. Given that the share-exclusive lock for setting hint bits is only
held for a short time, that backends would often just set the same hint bits
and that the cost of occasionally not setting hint bits in hotly accessed
pages is fairly low, this seems like an acceptable tradeoff.

The biggest change to adapt to this is in heapam. To avoid performance
regressions for sequential scans that need to set a lot of hint bits, we need
to amortize the cost of BufferBeginSetHintBits() for cases where hint bits are
set at a high frequency. To that end HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCCBatch() uses the
new SetHintBitsExt(), which defers BufferFinishSetHintBits() until all hint
bits on a page have been set.  Conversely, to avoid regressions in cases where
we can't set hint bits in bulk (because we're looking only at individual
tuples), use BufferSetHintBits16() when setting hint bits without batching.

Several other places also need to be adapted, but those changes are
comparatively simpler.

After this we do not need to copy buffers to write them out anymore. That
change is done separately however.

Commit 17f51ea818 introduced a new pendingRecoveryConflicts field in
PGPROC to replace the various ProcSignals. The new field was cleared
in ProcArrayEndTransaction(), which makes sense for conflicts with
e.g. locks or buffer pins which are gone at end of transaction. But it
is not appropriate for conflicts on a database, or a logical slot.

Because of this, the 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl test was
occasionally getting stuck in the buildfarm. It happens if the startup
process signals recovery conflict with the logical slot just when the
walsender process using the slot calls ProcArrayEndTransaction().

To fix, don't clear pendingRecoveryConflicts in
ProcArrayEndTransaction(). We could still clear certain conflict
flags, like conflicts on locks, but we didn't try to do that before
commit 17f51ea818 either.

In the passing, fix a misspelled comment, and make
InitAuxiliaryProcess() to also clear pendingRecoveryConflicts. I don't
think aux processes can have recovery conflicts, but it seems best to
initialize the field and keep InitAuxiliaryProcess() as close to

Introduce the REPACK command
REPACK absorbs the functionality of VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER in a single
command.  Because this functionality is completely different from
regular VACUUM, having it separate from VACUUM makes it easier for users
to understand; as for CLUSTER, the term is heavily overloaded in the
IT world and even in Postgres itself, so it's good that we can avoid it.

We retain those older commands, but de-emphasize them in the
documentation, in favor of REPACK; the difference between VACUUM FULL
and CLUSTER (namely, the fact that tuples are written in a specific
ordering) is neatly absorbed as two different modes of REPACK.

This allows us to introduce further functionality in the future that
works regardless of whether an ordering is being applied, such as (and
especially) a concurrent mode.

f4a4ce52c0 heapam: Don't mimic MarkBufferDirtyHint() in inplace updates
Previously heap_inplace_update_and_unlock() used an operation order similar to
MarkBufferDirty(), to reduce the number of different approaches used for
updating buffers.  However, in an upcoming patch, MarkBufferDirtyHint() will
switch to using the update protocol used by most other places (enabled by hint
bits only being set while holding a share-exclusive lock).

Luckily it's pretty easy to adjust heap_inplace_update_and_unlock(). As a
comment already foresaw, we can use the normal order, with the slight change
of updating the buffer contents after WAL logging.

0fbfd37cef Allow extensions to mark an individual index as disabled.
Up until now, the only way for a loadable module to disable the use of a
particular index was to use build_simple_rel_hook (or, previous to
yesterday's commit, get_relation_info_hook) to remove it from the index
list. While that works, it has some disadvantages. First, the index
becomes invisible for all purposes, and can no longer be used for
optimizations such as self-join elimination or left join removal, which
can severely degrade the resulting plan.

Second, if the module attempts to compel the use of a certain index
by removing all other indexes from the index list and disabling
other scan types, but the planner is unable to use the chosen index
for some reason, it will fall back to a sequential scan, because that
is only disabled, whereas the other indexes are, from the planner's
point of view, completely gone. While this situation ideally shouldn't
occur, it's hard for a loadable module to be completely sure whether
the planner will view a certain index as usable for a certain query.
If it isn't, it may be better to fall back to a scan using a disabled
index rather than falling back to an also-disabled sequential scan.

03facc1211 Switch to FATAL error for missing checkpoint record without backup_label
Crash recovery started without a backup_label previously crashed with a
PANIC if the checkpoint record could not be found.  This commit lowers
the report generated to be a FATAL instead.

With recovery methods being more imaginative these days, this should
provide more flexibility when handling PostgreSQL recovery processing in
the event of a driver error, similarly to 15f68cebdc.  An extra
benefit of this change is that it becomes possible to add a test to
check that a FATAL is hit with an expected error message pattern.  With
the recovery code becoming more complicated over the last couple of
years, I suspect that this will be benefitial to cover in the long-term.

The original PANIC behavior has been introduced in the early days of
crash recovery, as of 4d14fe0048 (PANIC did not exist yet, the code
used STOP).

91f33a2ae9 Replace get_relation_info_hook with build_simple_rel_hook.
For a long time, PostgreSQL has had a get_relation_info_hook which
plugins can use to editorialize on the information that
get_relation_info obtains from the catalogs. However, this hook is
only called for baserels of type RTE_RELATION, and there is
potential utility in a similar call back for other types of
RTEs. This might have had utility even before commit
4020b370f2 added pgs_mask to
RelOptInfo, but it certainly has utility now.

So, move the callback up one level, deleting get_relation_info_hook and
adding build_simple_rel_hook instead. The new callback is called just
slightly later than before and with slightly different arguments, but it
should be fairly straightforward to adjust existing code that currently
uses get_relation_info_hook: the values previously available as
relationObjectId and inhparent are now available via rte->relid and
rte->inh, and calls where rte->rtekind != RTE_RELATION can be ignored if
desired.

8300d3ad4a Consider startup cost as a figure of merit for partial paths.
Previously, the comments stated that there was no purpose to considering
startup cost for partial paths, but this is not the case: it's perfectly
reasonable to want a fast-start path for a plan that involves a LIMIT
(perhaps over an aggregate, so that there is enough data being processed
to justify parallel query but yet we don't want all the result rows).

Accordingly, rewrite add_partial_path and add_partial_path_precheck to
consider startup costs. This also fixes an independent bug in
add_partial_path_precheck: commit e222534679
failed to update it to do anything with the new disabled_nodes field.
That bug fix is formally separate from the rest of this patch and could
be committed separately, but I think it makes more sense to fix both
issues together, because then we can (as this commit does) just make
add_partial_path_precheck do the cost comparisons in the same way as
compare_path_costs_fuzzily, which hopefully reduces the chances of
ending up with something that's still incorrect.

This patch is based on earlier work on this topic by Tomas Vondra,
but I have rewritten a great deal of it.

ffc226ab64 Prevent restore of incremental backup from bloating VM fork.
When I (rhaas) wrote the WAL summarizer code, I incorrectly believed
that XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE truncates all forks to the same length.  In
fact, what other parts of the code do is compute the truncation length
for the FSM and VM forks from the truncation length used for the main
fork. But, because I was confused, I coded the WAL summarizer to set the
limit block for the VM fork to the same value as for the main fork.
(Incremental backup always copies FSM forks in full, so there is no
similar issue in that case.)

Doing that doesn't directly cause any data corruption, as far as I can
see. However, it does create a serious risk of consuming a large amount
of extra disk space, because pg_combinebackup's reconstruct.c believes
that the reconstructed file should always be at least as long as the
limit block value. We might want to be smarter about that at some point
in the future, because it's always safe to omit all-zeroes blocks at the
end of the last segment of a relation, and doing so could save disk
space, but the current algorithm will rarely waste enough disk space to
worry about unless we believe that a relation has been truncated to a
length much longer than its actual length on disk, which is exactly what
happens as a result of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph.

To fix, create a new visibilitymap helper function and use it to include
the right limit block in the summary files. Incremental backups taken
with existing summary files will still have this issue, but this should
improve the situation going forward.

4da2afd01f Fix size underestimation of DSA pagemap for odd-sized segments
When make_new_segment() creates an odd-sized segment, the pagemap was
only sized based on a number of usable_pages entries, forgetting that a
segment also contains metadata pages, and that the FreePageManager uses
absolute page indices that cover the entire segment.  This
miscalculation could cause accesses to pagemap entries to be out of
bounds.  During subsequent reuse of the allocated segment, allocations
landing on pages with indices higher than usable_pages could cause
out-of-bounds pagemap reads and/or writes.  On write, 'span' pointers
are stored into the data area, corrupting the allocated objects.  On
read (aka during a dsa_free), garbage is interpreted as a span pointer,
typically crashing the server in dsa_get_address().

The normal geometric path correctly sizes the pagemap for all pages in
the segment.  The odd-sized path needs to do the same, but it works
forward from usable_pages rather than backward from total_size.

This commit fixes the sizing of the odd-sized case by adding pagemap
entries for the metadata pages after the initial metadata_bytes
calculation, using an integer ceiling division to compute the exact
number of additional entries needed in one go, avoiding any iteration in
the calculation.

An assertion is added in the code path for odd-sized segments, ensuring
that the pagemap includes the metadata area, and that the result is
appropriately sized.

This problem would show up depending on the size requested for the
allocation of a DSA segment.  The reporter has noticed this issue when a
parallel hash join makes a DSA allocation large enough to trigger the
odd-sized segment path, but it could happen for anything that does a DSA
allocation.

A regression test is added to test_dsa, down to v17 where the test
module has been introduced.  This adds a set of cheap tests to check the
problem, the new assertion being useful for this purpose.  Sami has
proposed a test that took a longer time than what I have done here; the
test committed is faster and good enough to check the odd-sized
allocation path.

415100aa62 Support grouping-expression references and GROUPING() in subqueries.
Until now, substitute_grouped_columns and its predecessor
check_ungrouped_columns intentionally did not cope with references
to GROUP BY expressions (anything more complex than a Var) within
subqueries of the query having GROUP BY.  Because they didn't try to
match subexpressions of subqueries to the GROUP BY list, they'd drill
down to raw Vars of the grouping level and then fail with "subquery
uses ungrouped column from outer query".  There have been remarkably
few complaints about this deficiency, so nobody ever did anything
about it.

The reason for not wanting to deal with it is that within a subquery,
Vars will have varlevelsup different from zero and will thus not be
equal() to the expressions seen in the outer query.  We recognized
this at least as far back as 96ca8ffeb, although I think the comment
I added about it then was just documenting a pre-existing deficiency.
It looks like at the time, the solutions I considered were
(1) write a version of equal() that permits an offset in varlevelsup,
or (2) dynamically apply IncrementVarSublevelsUp at each
subexpression.  (1) would require an amount of new code that seems
rather out of proportion to the benefit, while (2) would add an
exponential amount of cost to the matching process.  But rethinking
it now, what seems attractive is (3) apply IncrementVarSublevelsUp to
the groupingClause list not the subexpressions, and do so only once
per subquery depth level.  Then we can still use plain equal() to
check for matches, and we're not incurring cost proportional to some
power of the subquery's complexity.

This patch continues to use the old logic when the GROUP BY list is
all Vars.  We could discard the special comparison logic for that and
always do it the more general way, but that would be a good deal
slower.  (Micro-benchmarking just parse analysis suggests it's about
50% slower than the Vars-only path.  But we've not heard complaints
about the speed of matching within the main query, so I doubt that
applying the same matching logic within subqueries will be a problem.)
The lack of complaints suggests strongly that this is a very minority
use-case, so I don't want to make the typical case slower to fix it.

While testing that, I was surprised to discover a nearby bug:
GROUPING() within a subquery fails to match GROUP BY Vars that are
join alias Vars.  It tries to apply flatten_join_alias_vars to make
such cases work, but that fails to work inside a subquery because
varlevelsup is wrong.  Therefore, this patch invents a new entry point
flatten_join_alias_for_parser() that allows specification of a
sublevels_up offset.  (It seems cleaner to give the parser its own
entry point rather than abuse the planner's conventions even further.)

While this is pretty clearly a bug fix, I'm hesitant to take the risk
of back-patching, seeing that the existing behavior has stood for so
long with so few complaints.  Maybe we can reconsider once this patch
has baked awhile in master.

6eedb2a5fd Fix publisher shutdown hang caused by logical walsender busy loop.
Previously, when logical replication was running, shutting down
the publisher could cause the logical walsender to enter a busy loop
and prevent the publisher from completing shutdown.

During shutdown, the logical walsender waits for all pending WAL
to be written out. However, some WAL records could remain unflushed,
causing the walsender to wait indefinitely.

The issue occurred because the walsender used XLogBackgroundFlush() to
flush pending WAL. This function does not guarantee that all WAL is written.
For example, WAL generated by a transaction without an assigned
transaction ID that aborts might not be flushed.

This commit fixes the bug by making the logical walsender call XLogFlush()
instead, ensuring that all pending WAL is written and preventing
the busy loop during shutdown.

01d485b142 Add system view pg_stat_recovery
This commit introduces pg_stat_recovery, that exposes at SQL level the
state of recovery as tracked by XLogRecoveryCtlData in shared memory,
maintained by the startup process.  This new view includes the following
fields, that are useful for monitoring purposes on a standby, once it
has reached a consistent state (making the execution of the SQL function
possible):
- Last-successfully replayed WAL record LSN boundaries and its timeline.
- Currently replaying WAL record end LSN and its timeline.
- Current WAL chunk start time.
- Promotion trigger state.
- Timestamp of latest processed commit/abort.
- Recovery pause state.

Some of this data can already be recovered from different system
functions, but not all of it.  See pg_get_wal_replay_pause_state or
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp.  This new view offers a stronger
consistency guarantee, by grabbing the recovery state for all fields
through one spinlock acquisition.

The system view relies on a new function, called pg_stat_get_recovery().
Querying this data requires the pg_read_all_stats privilege.  The view
returns no rows if the node is not in recovery.

This feature originates from a suggestion I have made while discussion
the addition of a CONNECTING state to the WAL receiver's shared memory
state, because we lacked access to some of the state data.  The author
has taken the time to implement it, so thanks for that.

that returns a string for the recovery pause state.

Refactoring opportunity noticed while hacking on a different patch.

f95d73ed43 Simplify creation of built-in functions with non-default ACLs.
Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then modify it with GRANT/REVOKE commands, which we put in
system_functions.sql.  That seems a little ugly though, because it
violates the idea of having a single source of truth about the initial
contents of pg_proc, and it results in leaving dead rows in the
initial contents of pg_proc.

This patch improves matters by allowing aclitemin to work during early
bootstrap, before pg_authid has been loaded.  On the same principle
that we use for early access to pg_type details, put a table of known
built-in role names into bootstrap.c, and use that in bootstrap mode.

To create a built-in function with a non-default ACL, one should write
the desired ACL list in its pg_proc.dat entry, using a simplified
version of aclitemout's notation: omit the grantor (if it is the
bootstrap superuser, which it pretty much always should be) and spell
the bootstrap superuser's name as POSTGRES, similarly to the notation
used elsewhere in src/include/catalog.  This results in entries like

  proacl => '{POSTGRES=X,pg_monitor=X}'

which shows that we've revoked public execute permissions and instead
granted that to pg_monitor.

In addition to fixing up pg_proc.dat entries, I got rid of some
role grants that had been stuck into system_functions.sql,
and instead put them into a new file pg_auth_members.dat;
that seems like a far less random place to put the information.

The correctness of the data changes can be verified by comparing the
initial contents of pg_proc and pg_auth_members before and after.
pg_proc should match exactly, but the OID column of pg_auth_members
will probably be different because those OIDs now get assigned a
little earlier in bootstrap.  (I forced a catversion bump out of
caution, but it wasn't really necessary.)

bffd7130e9 Improve validation of recovery_target_xid GUC values.
Previously, the recovery_target_xid GUC values were not sufficiently validated.
As a result, clearly invalid inputs such as the string "bogus", a decimal value
like "1.1", or 0 (a transaction ID smaller than the minimum valid value of 3)
were unexpectedly accepted. In these cases, the value was interpreted as
transaction ID 0, which could cause recovery to behave unexpectedly.

This commit improves validation of recovery_target_xid GUC so that invalid
values are rejected with an error. This prevents recovery from proceeding
with misconfigured recovery_target_xid settings.

Also this commit updates the documentation to clarify the allowed values
for recovery_target_xid GUC.

34dfca2934 Change default value of default_toast_compression to "lz4", take two
The default value for default_toast_compression was "pglz".  The main
reason for this choice is that this option is always available, pglz
code being embedded in Postgres.  However, it is known that LZ4 is more
efficient than pglz: less CPU required, more compression on average.  As
of this commit, the default value of default_toast_compression becomes
"lz4", if available.  By switching to LZ4 as the default, users should
see natural speedups on TOAST data reads and/or writes.

Support for LZ4 in TOAST compression was added in Postgres v14, or 5
releases ago.  This should be long enough to consider this feature as
stable.

While at it, quotes are removed from default_toast_compression in
postgresql.conf.sample.  Quotes are not required in this case.  The
in-place value replacement done by initdb if the build supports LZ4
would not use them in the postgresql.conf file added to a
freshly-initialized cluster.

Note that this is a version lighter than 7c1849311e, that included a
replacement of --with-lz4 by --without-lz4 in configure builds, forcing
a requirement for LZ4 in all environments.  The buildfarm did not like
it, at all.  This commit switches default_toast_compression to lz4 as
default only when --with-lz4 is defined, which should keep the buildfarm
at bay while still allowing users to benefit from LZ4 compression in
TOAST as long as the code is compiled with it.

This reverts commit 7c1849311e, due to the fact that more than 60% of
the buildfarm members do not have lz4 installed.  As we are in the last
commit fest of the development cycle, and that it could take a couple
of weeks to stabilize things, this change is reverted for now.

This commit will be reworked in a lighter version, as
default_toast_compression's default can be changed to "lz4" without the
switch from --with-lz4 to --without-lz4.  This approach will keep the
buildfarm at bay, and still allow builds to take advantage of LZ4 in
TOAST by default, as long as the code is compiled with LZ4 support.

A harder requirement based on LZ4 should be achievable at some point,
but it is going to require some work from the buildfarm owners first.
Perhaps this part could be revisited at the beginning of the next

e6a1d8f5ac Fix estimate_hash_bucket_stats's correction for skewed data.
The previous idea was "scale up the bucketsize estimate by the ratio
of the MCV's frequency to the average value's frequency".  But we
should have been suspicious of that plan, since it frequently led to
impossible (> 1) values which we had to apply an ad-hoc clamp to.
Joel Jacobson demonstrated that it sometimes leads to making the
wrong choice about which side of the hash join should be inner.

Instead, drop the whole business of estimating average frequency, and
just clamp the bucketsize estimate to be at least the MCV's frequency.
This corresponds to the bucket size we'd get if only the MCV appears
in a bucket, and the MCV's frequency is not affected by the
WHERE-clause filters.  (We were already making the latter assumption.)
This also matches the coding used since 4867d7f62 in the case where
only a default ndistinct estimate is available.

Interestingly, this change affects no existing regression test cases.
Add one to demonstrate that it helps pick the smaller table to be
hashed when the MCV is common enough to affect the results.

This leaves estimate_hash_bucket_stats not considering the effects of
null join keys at all, which we should probably improve.  However,
I have a different patch in the queue that will change the executor's
handling of null join keys, so it seems appropriate to wait till
that's in before doing anything more here.

1f4f87d794 Remove redundant restriction checks in apply_child_basequals
In apply_child_basequals, after translating a parent relation's
restriction quals for a child relation, we simplify each child qual by
calling eval_const_expressions.  Historically, the code then called
restriction_is_always_false and restriction_is_always_true to reduce
NullTest quals that are provably false or true.

However, since commit e2debb643, the planner natively performs
NullTest deduction during constant folding.  Therefore, calling
restriction_is_always_false and restriction_is_always_true immediately
afterward is redundant and wastes CPU cycles.  We can safely remove
them and simply rely on the constant folding to handle the deduction.

ba97bf9cb7 Add support for "exprs" in pg_restore_extended_stats()
This commit adds support for the restore of extended statistics of the
kind "exprs", counting for the statistics data computed for expressions.

The input format consists of a jsonb object which must be an array of
objects which are keyed by statistics parameter names, like this:
[{"stat_type1": "...", "stat_type2": "...", ...},
 {"stat_type1": "...", "stat_type2": "...", ...}, ...]

The outer array must have as many elements as there are expressions
defined in the statistics object, mapping with the way extended
statistics are built with one pg_statistic tuple stored for each
expression whose statistics have been computed.  The elements of the
array must be either objects or null values (equivalent of invalid data,
case also supported by the stats computations when its data is inserted
in the catalogs).

The keys of the inner objects are names of the statistical columns in
pg_stats_ext_exprs (i.e. everything after "inherited").  Not all
parameter keys need to be provided, those omitted being silently
ignored.  Key values that do not match a statistical column name will
cause a warning to be issued, but do not otherwise fail the expression
or the import as a whole.

The expected value type for all parameters is jbvString, which allows
us to validate the values using the input function specific to that
parameter.  Any parameters with a null value are silently ignored, same
as if they were not provided in the first place.

This commit includes a battery of test cases:
- Sanity checks for what-should-be-all the failures in restore code
paths, including parsing errors, parameter sanity checks depending on
the extended stats object definition, etc.
- Value injection, for scalar, array, range, multi-range cases.
- Stats data cloning, with differential checks between the source
relation and its target.  The source and the target should hold the same
stats data after restore.
- While expressions are supported in extended statistics since v14,
range_length_histogram, range_empty_frac, and range_bounds_histogram
have been added to pg_stat_ext_exprs only in v19.  A test case has been
added to emulate a dump taken from v18, with expression stats restored
for a range data type where these three fields are NULL.

Support for pg_dump is included, with expressions supported since v14,
inherited since v15, and data for range types in expressions in v19.

pg_upgrade is the main use-case of this feature; it is also possible to
inject statistics, same as for the other extstat kinds.

As of this commit, ANALYZE should not be required after pg_upgrade when
the cluster upgrading from uses extended statistics, as MCV,
dependencies, expressions and ndistinct stats are all covered.  The
stats data related to range types used in expressions requires v19,
whose support has also been added.

ccae90abdb Fix OldestMemberMXactId and OldestVisibleMXactId array usage
Commit ab355e3a88 changed how the OldestMemberMXactId array is
indexed. It's no longer indexed by synthetic dummyBackendId, but with
ProcNumber. The PGPROC entries for prepared xacts come after auxiliary
processes in the allProcs array, which rendered the calculation for
MaxOldestSlot and the indexes into the array incorrect.  (The
OldestVisibleMXactId array is not used for prepared xacts, and thus
never accessed with ProcNumber's greater than MaxBackends, so this
only affects the OldestMemberMXactId array.)

As a result, a prepared xact would store its value past the end of the
OldestMemberMXactId array, overflowing into the OldestVisibleMXactId
array. That could cause a transaction's row lock to appear invisible
to other backends, or other such visibility issues. With a very small
max_connections setting, the store could even go beyond the
OldestVisibleMXactId array, stomping over the first element in the
BufferDescriptor array.

To fix, calculate the array sizes more precisely, and introduce helper
functions to calculate the array indexes correctly.

pd_prune_xid values. After promotion, that stale hint triggers
unnecessary on-access pruning.

Fix this by clearing the prune hint everywhere we currently mark a heap
page all-visible. Clearing it when setting PD_ALL_VISIBLE ensures no
extra overhead.

I have mentioned that we may want to remove this flag back in 2018, due
to zero users of it in core.  More recently, Noah has pointed out that
this flag is not safe to use: XLP_BKP_REMOVABLE can be set by the WAL
writer in a lock-free fashion with runningBackups > 0, meaning that some
full-page images could be required but not logged, ultimately corrupting
backups.

f7dc17aa91 Fix memory allocation size in RegisterExtensionExplainOption()
The allocations used for the static array ExplainExtensionOptionArray,
that tracks a set of ExplainExtensionOption, used "char *" instead of
ExplainExtensionOption as the memory size consumed by one element,
underestimating the memory required by half.

The initial allocation of ExplainExtensionNameArray wants to hold 16
elements before being reallocated, and with "char *" it meant that there
was enough space only for 8 ExplainExtensionOption elements, 16 bytes
required for each element.  The backend would crash once one tries to
register a 9th EXPLAIN option.

As far as I can see, the allocation formulas of GetExplainExtensionId()
have been copy-pasted to RegisterExtensionExplainOption(), but the
internal maths of the copy were not adjusted accordingly.

3b7a6fa157 Fix set of issues with extended statistics on expressions
This commit addresses two defects regarding extended statistics on
expressions:
- When building extended statistics in lookup_var_attr_stats(), the call
to examine_attribute() did not account for the possibility of a NULL
return value.  This can happen depending on the behavior of a typanalyze
callback — for example, if the callback returns false, if no rows are
sampled, or if no statistics are computed.  In such cases, the code
attempted to build MCV, dependency, and ndistinct statistics using a
NULL pointer, incorrectly assuming valid statistics were available,
which could lead to a server crash.
- When loading extended statistics for expressions,
statext_expressions_load() did not account for NULL entries in the
pg_statistic array storing expression statistics.  Such NULL entries can
be generated when statistics collection fails for an expression, as may
occur during the final step of serialize_expr_stats().  An extended
statistics object defining N expressions requires N corresponding
elements in the pg_statistic array stored for the expressions, and some
of these elements can be NULL.  This situation is reachable when a
typanalyze callback returns true, but sets stats_valid to indicate that
no useful statistics could be computed.

While these scenarios cannot occur with in-core typanalyze callbacks, as
far as I have analyzed, they can be triggered by custom data types with
custom typanalyze implementations, at least.

No tests are added in this commit.  A follow-up commit will introduce a
test module that can be extended to cover similar edge cases if
additional issues are discovered.  This takes care of the core of the
problem.

Attribute and relation statistics already offer similar protections:
- ANALYZE detects and skips the build of invalid statistics.
- Invalid catalog data is handled defensively when loading statistics.

This issue exists since the support for extended statistics on
expressions has been added, down to v14 as of a4d75c86bf.  Backpatch
to all supported stable branches.

d80b022501 Correctly calculate "MCV frequency" for a unique column.
In commit bd3e3e9e5, I over-hastily used 1 / rel->rows as the assumed
frequency of entries in a column that ANALYZE has found to be unique.
However, rel->rows is the number of table rows that are estimated to
pass the query's restriction conditions, so that we got a too-large
result if the query has selective restrictions.  What I should have
used is 1 / rel->tuples, since that is the estimated total number of
table rows.  The pre-existing code path that digs a frequency out of
the histogram produces a frequency relative to the whole table, so
surely this new alternative code path must do so as well.  Any
correction needed on the basis of selectivity must be done by the
user of the mcv_freq value.

Fixing this causes all the regression test plans changed by bd3e3e9e5
to revert to what they had been, except for the first change in
join.out.  As I correctly argued in bd3e3e9e5, in that test case we
have no stats and should not risk a hash join.  Evidently I was less
correct to argue that the other changes were improvements.

98616ac18b Don't flatten join alias Vars that are stored within a GROUP RTE.
The RTE's groupexprs list is used for deparsing views, and for that
usage it must contain the original alias Vars; else we can get
incorrect SQL output.  But since commit 247dea89f,
parseCheckAggregates put the GROUP BY expressions through
flatten_join_alias_vars before building the RTE_GROUP RTE.
Changing the order of operations there is enough to fix it.

This patch unfortunately can do nothing for already-created views:
if they use a coding pattern that is subject to the bug, they will
deparse incorrectly and hence present a dump/reload hazard in the
future.  The only fix is to recreate the view from the original SQL.
But the trouble cases seem to be quite narrow.  AFAICT the output
was only wrong for "SELECT ... t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (x) GROUP BY x"
where t1.x and t2.x were not of identical data types and t1.x was
the side that required an implicit coercion.  If there was no hidden
coercion, or if the join was plain, RIGHT, or FULL, the deparsed
output was uglier than intended but not functionally wrong.

77c7a17a6e Fix unsafe RTE_GROUP removal in simplify_EXISTS_query
When simplify_EXISTS_query removes the GROUP BY clauses from an EXISTS
subquery, it previously deleted the RTE_GROUP RTE directly from the
subquery's range table.

This approach is dangerous because deleting an RTE from the middle of
the rtable list shifts the index of any subsequent RTE, which can
silently corrupt any Var nodes in the query tree that reference those
later relations.  (Currently, this direct removal has not caused
problems because the RTE_GROUP RTE happens to always be the last entry
in the rtable list.  However, relying on that is extremely fragile and
seems like trouble waiting to happen.)

Instead of deleting the RTE_GROUP RTE, this patch converts it in-place
to be RTE_RESULT type and clears its groupexprs list.  This preserves
the length and indexing of the rtable list, ensuring all Var
references remain intact.

Add backtrace support for Windows using DbgHelp API
Previously, backtrace generation on Windows would return an "unsupported"
message.  With this commit, we rely on CaptureStackBackTrace() to capture
the call stack and the DbgHelp API (SymFromAddrW, SymGetLineFromAddrW64)
for symbol resolution.

Symbol handler initialization (SymInitialize) is performed once per
process and cached.  If initialization fails, the report for it is
returned as the backtrace output.  The symbol handler is cleaned up via
on_proc_exit() to release DbgHelp resources.

The implementation provides symbol names, offsets, and addresses.  When
PDB files are available, it also includes source file names and line
numbers.  Symbol names and file paths are converted from UTF-16 to the
database encoding using wchar2char(), which properly handles both UTF-8
and non-UTF-8 databases on Windows.  When symbol information is
unavailable or encoding conversion fails, it falls back to displaying raw
addresses.

The implementation uses the explicit UTF16 versions of the DbgHelp
functions (SYMBOL_INFOW, SymFromAddrW, IMAGEHLP_LINEW64,
SymGetLineFromAddrW64) rather than the generic versions.  This allows us
to rely on predictable encoding conversion, rather than using the
haphazard ANSI codepage that we'd get otherwise.

DbgHelp is apparently available on all Windows platforms we support, so
there are no version number checks.

4a1b05caa5 Restore AIX support.
The concerns that led us to remove AIX support in commit 0b16bb877
have now been alleviated:

1. IBM has stepped forward to provide support, including buildfarm
animal(s).
2. AIX 7.2 and later seem to be fine with large pg_attribute_aligned
requirements.  Since 7.1 is now EOL anyway, we can just cease to
support it.
3. Tossing xlc support overboard seems okay as well.  It's a bit
sad to drop one of the few remaining non-gcc-alike compilers, but
working around xlc's bugs and idiosyncrasies doesn't seem justified
by the theoretical portability benefits.
4. Likewise, we can stop supporting 32-bit AIX builds.  This is
not so much about whether we could build such executables as that
they're too much of a pain to manage in the field, due to limited
address space available for dynamic library loading.
5. We hit on a way to manage catalog column alignment that doesn't
require continuing developer effort (see commit ecae09725).

Hence, this commit reverts 0b16bb877 and some follow-on commits
such as e6bb491bf, except for not putting back XLC support nor
the changes related to catalog column alignment.

Some other notable changes from the way things were in v16:

Prefer unnamed POSIX semaphores on AIX, rather than the default
choice of SysV semaphores.

Include /opt/freeware/lib in -Wl,-blibpath, even when it is not
mentioned anywhere in LDFLAGS.

Remove platform-specific adjustment of MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT; maybe
that's still the right thing, but it really ought to be re-tested.

Silence compiler warnings related to getpeereid(), wcstombs_l(),
and PAM conversation procs.

Accept "libpythonXXX.a" as an okay name for the Python shared

the ones we accept.  This is used to check which relkinds are accepted
in table_open() and related functions.  Before this change, figuring
that out was always a few steps too complicated.  This also makes
changes for new relkinds more explicit instead of accidental.
Finally, this makes this more aligned with the functions of the same

691977d370 Fix computation of varnullingrels when translating appendrel Var
When adjust_appendrel_attrs translates a Var referencing a parent
relation into a Var referencing a child relation, it propagates
varnullingrels from the parent Var to the translated Var.  Previously,
the code simply overwrote the translated Var's varnullingrels with
those of the parent.

This was incorrect because the translated Var might already possess
nonempty varnullingrels.  This happens, for example, when a LATERAL
subquery within a UNION ALL references a Var from the nullable side of
an outer join.  In such cases, the translated Var correctly carries
the outer join's relid in its varnullingrels.  Overwriting these bits
with the parent Var's set caused the planner to lose track of the fact
that the Var could be nulled by that outer join.

In the reported case, because the underlying column had a NOT NULL
constraint, the planner incorrectly deduced that the Var could never
be NULL and discarded essential IS NOT NULL filters.  This led to
incorrect query results where NULL rows were returned instead of being
filtered out.

To fix, use bms_add_members to merge the parent Var's varnullingrels
into the translated Var's existing set, preserving both sources of
nullability.

Back-patch to v16.  Although the reported case does not seem to cause
problems in v16, leaving incorrect varnullingrels in the tree seems
like a trap for the unwary.

The value is stored in the subwalrcvtimeout column of the pg_subscription

When set, this value overrides the global wal_receiver_timeout for
the subscription's apply worker. The default is -1, which means the
global setting (from the server configuration, command line, role,

This feature is useful for configuring different timeout values for

when WAL-logging a buffer is to unlock and unpin buffers after leaving a

paths of GIN and GiST, adjusted in this commit, where buffers were
either unlocked or unpinned inside a critical section.  Based on my

follow the recommended unlocking/unpin pattern done outside of a

These inconsistencies are rather old, coming mainly from ecaa4708e5

759b03b24c Simplify creation of built-in functions with default arguments.
Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then overwrite it with a CREATE OR REPLACE command in
system_functions.sql.  That's error-prone (cf. bug #19409) and
results in leaving dead rows in the initial contents of pg_proc.

Manual maintenance of pg_node_tree strings seems entirely impractical,
and parsing expressions during bootstrap would be extremely difficult
as well.  But Andres Freund observed that all the current use-cases
are simple constants, and building a Const node is well within the
capabilities of bootstrap mode.  So this patch invents a special case:
if bootstrap mode is asked to ingest a non-null value for
pg_proc.proargdefaults (which would otherwise fail in
pg_node_tree_in), it parses the value as an array literal and then
feeds the element strings to the input functions for the corresponding
parameter types.  Then we can build a suitable pg_node_tree string
with just a few more lines of code.

This allows removing all the system_functions.sql entries that are
just there to set up default arguments, replacing them with
proargdefaults fields in pg_proc.dat entries.  The old technique
remains available in case someone needs a non-constant default.

The initial contents of pg_proc are demonstrably the same after
this patch, except that (1) json_strip_nulls and jsonb_strip_nulls
now have the correct provolatile setting, as per bug #19409;
(2) pg_terminate_backend, make_interval, and drandom_normal
now have defaults that don't include a type coercion, which is
how they should have been all along.

In passing, remove some unused entries from bootstrap.c's TypInfo[]
array.  I had to add some new ones because we'll now need an entry for
each default-possessing system function parameter, but we shouldn't
carry more than we need there; it's just a maintenance gotcha.

ee642cccc4 Switch SysCacheIdentifier to a typedef enum
The main purpose of this change is to allow an ABI checker to understand
when the list of SysCacheIdentifier changes, by switching all the
routine declarations that relied on a signed integer for a syscache ID
to this new type.  This is going to be useful in the long-term for
versions newer than v19 so as we will be able to check when the list of
values in SysCacheIdentifier is updated in a non-ABI compliant fashion.

Most of the changes of this commit are due to the new definition of
SyscacheCallbackFunction, where a SysCacheIdentifier is now required for
the syscache ID.  It is a mechanical change, still slightly invasive.

There are more areas in the tree that could be improved with an ABI

c06b5b99bb Add concept of invalid value to SysCacheIdentifier
This commit tweaks the generation of the syscache IDs for the enum
SysCacheIdentifier to now include an invalid value, with -1 assigned as
value.  The concept of an invalid syscache ID exists when handling
lookups of a ObjectAddress, based on their set of properties in
ObjectPropertyType.  -1 is used for the case where an object type has no
option for a syscache lookup.

This has been found as independently useful while discussing a switch of
SysCacheIdentifier to a typedef, as we already have places that want to
know about the concept of an invalid value when dealing with
ObjectAddresses.

a92b809f9d Ignore SIGINT in walwriter and walsummarizer
Previously, SIGINT was treated the same as SIGTERM in walwriter and
walsummarizer. That decision goes back to when the walwriter process
was introduced (commit ad4295728e), and was later copied to
walsummarizer. It was a pretty arbitrary decision back then, and we
haven't adopted that convention in all the other processes that have
been introduced later.

Summary of how other processes respond to SIGINT:
- Autovacuum launcher: Cancel the current iteration of launching
- bgworker: Ignore (unless connected to a database)
- checkpointer: Request shutdown checkpoint
- bgwriter: Ignore
- pgarch: Ignore
- startup process: Ignore
- walreceiver: Ignore
- IO worker: die()

IO workers are a notable exception in that they exit on SIGINT, and
there's a documented reason for that: IO workers ignore SIGTERM, so
SIGINT provides a way to manually kill them. (They do respond to
SIGUSR2, though, like all the other processes that we don't want to
exit immediately on SIGTERM on operating system shutdown.)

To make this a little more consistent, ignore SIGINT in walwriter and
walsummarizer. They have no "query" to cancel, and they react to
SIGTERM just fine.

d50c86e743 Change remaining StaticAssertStmt() to StaticAssertDecl()
This completes the work started by commit 75f49221c2.

In basebackup.c, changing the StaticAssertStmt to StaticAssertDecl
results in having the same StaticAssertDecl() in 2 functions.  So, it
makes more sense to move it to file scope instead.

Also, as it depends on some computations based on 2 tar blocks, define
TAR_NUM_TERMINATION_BLOCKS.

In deadlock.c, change the StaticAssertStmt to StaticAssertDecl and
keep it in the function scope.  Add new braces to avoid warning from
-Wdeclaration-after-statement.

In aset.c, change the StaticAssertStmt to StaticAssertDecl and move it
to file scope.

Finally, update the comments in c.h a bit.

351265a6c7 Remove recovery.signal at recovery end when both signal files are present.
When both standby.signal and recovery.signal are present, standby.signal
takes precedence and the server runs in standby mode. Previously,
in this case, recovery.signal was not removed at the end of standby mode
(i.e., on promotion) or at the end of archive recovery, while standby.signal
was removed. As a result, a leftover recovery.signal could cause
a subsequent restart to enter archive recovery unexpectedly, potentially
preventing the server from starting. This behavior was surprising and
confusing to users.

This commit fixes the issue by updating the recovery code to remove
recovery.signal alongside standby.signal when both files are present and
recovery completes.

Because this code path is particularly sensitive and changes in recovery
behavior can be risky for stable branches, this change is applied only to
the master branch.

9f4fd119b2 Fix SUBSTRING() for toasted multibyte characters.
Commit 1e7fe06c10 changed
pg_mbstrlen_with_len() to ereport(ERROR) if the input ends in an
incomplete character.  Most callers want that.  text_substring() does
not.  It detoasts the most bytes it could possibly need to get the
requested number of characters.  For example, to extract up to 2 chars
from UTF8, it needs to detoast 8 bytes.  In a string of 3-byte UTF8
chars, 8 bytes spans 2 complete chars and 1 partial char.

Fix this by replacing this pg_mbstrlen_with_len() call with a string
traversal that differs by stopping upon finding as many chars as the
substring could need.  This also makes SUBSTRING() stop raising an
encoding error if the incomplete char is past the end of the substring.
This is consistent with the general philosophy of the above commit,
which was to raise errors on a just-in-time basis.  Before the above
commit, SUBSTRING() never raised an encoding error.

SUBSTRING() has long been detoasting enough for one more char than
needed, because it did not distinguish exclusive and inclusive end
position.  For avoidance of doubt, stop detoasting extra.

Back-patch to v14, like the above commit.  For applications using
SUBSTRING() on non-ASCII column values, consider applying this to your
copy of any of the February 12, 2026 releases.

ef3c3cf6d0 Perform radix sort on SortTuples with pass-by-value Datums
Radix sort can be much faster than quicksort, but for our purposes it
is limited to sequences of unsigned bytes. To make tuples with other
types amenable to this technique, several features of tuple comparison
must be accounted for, i.e. the sort key must be "normalized":

1. Signedness -- It's possible to modify a signed integer such that
it can be compared as unsigned. For example, a signed char has range
-128 to 127. If we cast that to unsigned char and add 128, the range
of values becomes 0 to 255 while preserving order.

2. Direction -- SQL allows specification of ASC or DESC. The
descending case is easily handled by taking the complement of the
unsigned representation.

3. NULL values -- NULLS FIRST and NULLS LAST must work correctly.

This commmit only handles the case where datum1 is pass-by-value
Datum (possibly abbreviated) that compares like an ordinary
integer. (Abbreviations of values of type "numeric" are a convenient
counterexample.) First, tuples are partitioned by nullness in the
correct NULL ordering. Then the NOT NULL tuples are sorted with radix
sort on datum1. For tiebreaks on subsequent sortkeys (including the
first sort key if abbreviated), we divert to the usual qsort.

ORDER BY queries on pre-warmed buffers are up to 2x faster on high
cardinality inputs with radix sort than the sort specializations added
by commit 697492434, so get rid of them. It's sufficient to fall back
to qsort_tuple() for small arrays. Moderately low cardinality inputs
show more modest improvents. Our qsort is strongly optimized for very
low cardinality inputs, but radix sort is usually equal or very close
in those cases.

The changes to the regression tests are caused by under-specified sort
orders, e.g. "SELECT a, b from mytable order by a;". For unstable
sorts, such as our qsort and this in-place radix sort, there is no
guarantee of the order of "b" within each group of "a".

The implementation is taken from ska_byte_sort() (Boost licensed),
which is similar to American flag sort (an in-place radix sort) with
modifications to make it better suited for modern pipelined CPUs.

The technique of normalization described above can also be extended
to the case of multiple keys. That is left for future work (Thanks
to Peter Geoghegan for the suggestion to look into this area).

788ec96d59 Refactor slot synchronization logic in slotsync.c.
Following e68b6adad9, the reason for skipping slot synchronization is
stored as a slot property. This commit removes redundant function
parameters that previously tracked this state, instead relying directly on
the slot property.

Additionally, this change centralizes the logic for skipping
synchronization when required WAL has not yet been received or flushed. By
consolidating this check, we reduce code duplication and the risk of
inconsistent state updates across different code paths.

In passing, add an assertion to ensure a slot is marked as temporary if a
consistent point has not been reached during synchronization.

706cadde32 Remove p_is_insert from struct ParseState.
The only place that used p_is_insert was transformAssignedExpr(),
which used it to distinguish INSERT from UPDATE when handling
indirection on assignment target columns -- see commit c1ca3a19df.
However, this information is already available to
transformAssignedExpr() via its exprKind parameter, which is always
either EXPR_KIND_INSERT_TARGET or EXPR_KIND_UPDATE_TARGET.

As noted in the commit message for c1ca3a19df, this use of
p_is_insert isn't particularly pretty, so have transformAssignedExpr()
use the exprKind parameter instead. This then allows p_is_insert to be
removed entirely, which simplifies state management in a few other
places across the parser.

cf74558feb Reduce LEFT JOIN to ANTI JOIN using NOT NULL constraints
For a LEFT JOIN, if any var from the right-hand side (RHS) is forced
to null by upper-level quals but is known to be non-null for any
matching row, the only way the upper quals can be satisfied is if the
join fails to match, producing a null-extended row.  Thus, we can
treat this left join as an anti-join.

Previously, this transformation was limited to cases where the join's
own quals were strict for the var forced to null by upper qual levels.
This patch extends the logic to check table constraints, leveraging
the NOT NULL attribute information already available thanks to the
infrastructure introduced by e2debb643.  If a forced-null var belongs
to the RHS and is defined as NOT NULL in the schema (and is not
nullable due to lower-level outer joins), we know that the left join
can be reduced to an anti-join.

Note that to ensure the var is not nullable by any lower-level outer
joins within the current subtree, we collect the relids of base rels
that are nullable within each subtree during the first pass of the
reduce-outer-joins process.  This allows us to verify in the second
pass that a NOT NULL var is indeed safe to treat as non-nullable.

Based on a proposal by Nicolas Adenis-Lamarre, but this is not the
original patch.

In version 17 and above, it's a little silly to use those functions

before v17 because the backend ID was different from ProcNumber. I
have other plans for wait_event_info on master, so it doesn't seem

7358abcc60 Store information about Append node consolidation in the final plan.
An extension (or core code) might want to reconstruct the planner's
decisions about whether and where to perform partitionwise joins from
the final plan. To do so, it must be possible to find all of the RTIs
of partitioned tables appearing in the plan. But when an AppendPath
or MergeAppendPath pulls up child paths from a subordinate AppendPath
or MergeAppendPath, the RTIs of the subordinate path do not appear
in the final plan, making this kind of reconstruction impossible.

To avoid this, propagate the RTI sets that would have been present
in the 'apprelids' field of the subordinate Append or MergeAppend
nodes that would have been created into the surviving Append or
MergeAppend node, using a new 'child_append_relid_sets' field for
that purpose. The value of this field is a list of Bitmapsets,
because each relation whose append-list was pulled up had its own
set of RTIs: just one, if it was a partitionwise scan, or more than
one, if it was a partitionwise join. Since our goal is to see where
partitionwise joins were done, it is essential to avoid losing the
information about how the RTIs were grouped in the pulled-up
relations.

This commit also updates pg_overexplain so that EXPLAIN (RANGE_TABLE)
will display the saved RTI sets.

0d4391b265 Store information about elided nodes in the final plan.
An extension (or core code) might want to reconstruct the planner's
choice of join order from the final plan. To do so, it must be possible
to find all of the RTIs that were part of the join problem in that plan.
Commit adbad833f3, together with the
earlier work in 8c49a484e8, is enough to
let us match up RTIs we see in the final plan with RTIs that we see
during the planning cycle, but we still have a problem if the planner
decides to drop some RTIs out of the final plan altogether.

To fix that, when setrefs.c removes a SubqueryScan, single-child Append,
or single-child MergeAppend from the final Plan tree, record the type of
the removed node and the RTIs that the removed node would have scanned
in the final plan tree. It would be natural to record this information
on the child of the removed plan node, but that would require adding an
additional pointer field to type Plan, which seems undesirable.  So,
instead, store the information in a separate list that the executor need
never consult, and use the plan_node_id to identify the plan node with
which the removed node is logically associated.

Also, update pg_overexplain to display these details.

adbad833f3 Store information about range-table flattening in the final plan.
Suppose that we're currently planning a query and, when that same
query was previously planned and executed, we learned something about
how a certain table within that query should be planned. We want to
take note when that same table is being planned during the current
planning cycle, but this is difficult to do, because the RTI of the
table from the previous plan won't necessarily be equal to the RTI
that we see during the current planning cycle. This is because each
subquery has a separate range table during planning, but these are
flattened into one range table when constructing the final plan,
changing RTIs.

Commit 8c49a484e8 allows us to match up
subqueries seen in the previous planning cycles with the subqueries
currently being planned just by comparing textual names, but that's
not quite enough to let us deduce anything about individual tables,
because we don't know where each subquery's range table appears in
the final, flattened range table.

To fix that, store a list of SubPlanRTInfo objects in the final
planned statement, each including the name of the subplan, the offset
at which it begins in the flattened range table, and whether or not
it was a dummy subplan -- if it was, some RTIs may have been dropped
from the final range table, but also there's no need to control how
a dummy subquery gets planned. The toplevel subquery has no name and
always begins at rtoffset 0, so we make no entry for it.

This commit teaches pg_overexplain's RANGE_TABLE option to make use
of this new data to display the subquery name for each range table
entry.

Commit 94f3ad3961 failed to do this

proven to be short-sighted. Best to fix it before this code is

Now, the only argument to standard_planenr that isn't passed to
planner_setup_hook is boundParams, but that is accessible via
glob->boundParams, and so doesn't need to be passed separately.

cbdf93d471 Fix PGS_CONSIDER_NONPARTIAL interaction with Materialize nodes.
Commit 4020b370f2 had the idea that it
would be a good idea to handle testing PGS_CONSIDER_NONPARTIAL within
cost_material to save callers the trouble, but that turns out not to be
a very good idea. One concern is that it makes cost_material() dependent
on the caller having initialized certain fields in the MaterialPath,
which is a bit awkward for materialize_finished_plan, which wants to use
a dummy path.

Another problem is that it can result in generated materialized nested
loops where the Materialize node is disabled, contrary to the intention
of joinpath.c's logic in match_unsorted_outer() and
consider_parallel_nestloop(), which aims to consider such paths only
when they would not need to be disabled. In the previous coding, it was
possible for the pgs_mask on the joinrel to have PGS_CONSIDER_NONPARTIAL
set, while the inner rel had the same bit clear. In that case, we'd
generate and then disable a Materialize path.

That seems wrong, so instead, pull up the logic to test the
PGS_CONSIDER_NONPARTIAL bit into joinpath.c, restoring the historical
behavior that either we don't generate a given materialized nested loop
in the first place, or we don't disable it.

be5257725d Refactor ProcessRecoveryConflictInterrupt for readability
Two changes here:

1. Introduce a separate RECOVERY_CONFLICT_BUFFERPIN_DEADLOCK flag to
indicate a suspected deadlock that involves a buffer pin. Previously
the startup process used the same flag for a deadlock involving just
regular locks, and to check for deadlocks involving the buffer
pin. The cases are handled separately in the startup process, but the
receiving backend had to deduce which one it was based on
HoldingBufferPinThatDelaysRecovery(). With a separate flag, the
receiver doesn't need to guess.

2. Rewrite the ProcessRecoveryConflictInterrupt() function to not rely
on fallthrough through the switch-statement. That was difficult to
read.

whose data can exist when involving a range type in an expression:
range_length_histogram
range_empty_frac
range_bounds_histogram

These statistics fields exist since 918eee0c49, and have become
viewable in pg_stats later in bc3c8db8ae.  This puts the definition of
pg_stats_ext_exprs on par with pg_stats.

This issue has showed up during the discussion about the restore of
extended statistics for expressions, so as it becomes possible to query
the stats data to restore from the catalogs.  Having access to this data
is useful on its own, without the restore part.

f41ab51573 Teach planner to transform "x IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL" to a NullTest
In the spirit of 8d19d0e13, this patch teaches the planner about the
principle that NullTest with !argisrow is fully equivalent to SQL's IS
[NOT] DISTINCT FROM NULL.

The parser already performs this transformation for literal NULLs.
However, a DistinctExpr expression with one input evaluating to NULL
during planning (e.g., via const-folding of "1 + NULL" or parameter
substitution in custom plans) currently remains as a DistinctExpr
node.

This patch closes the gap for const-folded NULLs.  It specifically
targets the case where one input is a constant NULL and the other is a
nullable non-constant expression.  (If the other input were otherwise,
the DistinctExpr node would have already been simplified to a constant
TRUE or FALSE.)

This transformation can be beneficial because NullTest is much more
amenable to optimization than DistinctExpr, since the planner knows a
good deal about the former and next to nothing about the latter.

0aaf0de7fe Optimize BooleanTest with non-nullable input
The BooleanTest construct (IS [NOT] TRUE/FALSE/UNKNOWN) treats a NULL
input as the logical value "unknown".  However, when the input is
proven to be non-nullable, this special handling becomes redundant.
In such cases, the construct can be simplified directly to a boolean
expression or a constant.

0a37961254 Optimize IS DISTINCT FROM with non-nullable inputs
The IS DISTINCT FROM construct compares values acting as though NULL
were a normal data value, rather than "unknown".  Semantically, "x IS
DISTINCT FROM y" yields true if the values differ or if exactly one is
NULL, and false if they are equal or both NULL.  Unlike ordinary
comparison operators, it never returns NULL.

Previously, the planner only simplified this construct if all inputs
were constants, folding it to a constant boolean result.  This patch
extends the optimization to cases where inputs are non-constant but
proven to be non-nullable.  Specifically, "x IS DISTINCT FROM NULL"
folds to constant TRUE if "x" is known to be non-nullable.  For cases
where both inputs are guaranteed not to be NULL, the expression
becomes semantically equivalent to "x <> y", and the DistinctExpr is
converted into an inequality OpExpr.

This transformation provides several benefits.  It converts the
comparison into a standard operator, allowing the use of partial
indexes and constraint exclusion.  Furthermore, if the clause is
negated (i.e., "IS NOT DISTINCT FROM"), it simplifies to an equality
operator.  This enables the planner to generate better plans using
index scans, merge joins, hash joins, and EC-based qual deduction.

158408fef8 pg_upgrade: Fix handling of pg_largeobject_metadata.
For binary upgrades from v16 or newer, pg_upgrade transfers the
files for pg_largeobject_metadata from the old cluster, as opposed
to using COPY or ordinary SQL commands to reconstruct its contents.
While this approach adds complexity, it can greatly reduce
pg_upgrade's runtime when there are many large objects.

Large objects with comments or security labels are one source of
complexity for this approach.  During pg_upgrade, schema
restoration happens before files are transferred.  Comments and
security labels are transferred in the former step, but the COMMENT
and SECURITY LABEL commands will fail if their corresponding large
objects do not exist.  To deal with this, pg_upgrade first copies
only the rows of pg_largeobject_metadata that are needed to avoid
failures.  Later, pg_upgrade overwrites those rows by replacing
pg_largeobject_metadata's files with its files in the old cluster.

Unfortunately, there's a subtle problem here.  Simply put, there's
no guarantee that pg_upgrade will overwrite all of
pg_largeobject_metadata's files on the new cluster.  For example,
the new cluster's version might more aggressively extend relations
or create visibility maps, and pg_upgrade's file transfer code is
not sophisticated enough to remove files that lack counterparts in
the old cluster.  These extra files could cause problems
post-upgrade.

More fortunately, we can simultaneously fix the aforementioned
problem and further optimize binary upgrades for clusters with many
large objects.  If we teach the COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL commands
to allow nonexistent large objects during binary upgrades,
pg_upgrade no longer needs to transfer pg_largeobject_metadata's
contents beforehand.  This approach also allows us to remove the
associated dependency tracking from pg_dump, even for upgrades from
v12-v15 that use COPY to transfer pg_largeobject_metadata's
contents.

In addition to what is described in the previous paragraph, this
commit modifies the query in getLOs() to only retrieve LOs with
comments or security labels for upgrades from v12 or newer.  We
have long assumed that such usage is rare, so this should reduce
pg_upgrade's memory usage and runtime in many cases.  We might also
be able to remove the "upgrades from v12 or newer" restriction on
the recent batch of optimizations by adding special handling for
pg_largeobject_metadata's hidden OID column on older versions
(since this catalog previously used the now-removed WITH OIDS
feature), but that is left as a future exercise.

8ebdf41c26 Harden _int_matchsel() against being attached to the wrong operator.
While the preceding commit prevented such attachments from occurring
in future, this one aims to prevent further abuse of any already-
created operator that exposes _int_matchsel to the wrong data types.
(No other contrib module has a vulnerable selectivity estimator.)

We need only check that the Const we've found in the query is indeed
of the type we expect (query_int), but there's a difficulty: as an
extension type, query_int doesn't have a fixed OID that we could
hard-code into the estimator.

Therefore, the bulk of this patch consists of infrastructure to let
an extension function securely look up the OID of a datatype
belonging to the same extension.  (Extension authors have requested
such functionality before, so we anticipate that this code will
have additional non-security uses, and may soon be extended to allow
looking up other kinds of SQL objects.)

This is done by first finding the extension that owns the calling
function (there can be only one), and then thumbing through the
objects owned by that extension to find a type that has the desired
name.  This is relatively expensive, especially for large extensions,
so a simple cache is put in front of these lookups.

841d42cc4e Require superuser to install a non-built-in selectivity estimator.
Selectivity estimators come in two flavors: those that make specific
assumptions about the data types they are working with, and those
that don't.  Most of the built-in estimators are of the latter kind
and are meant to be safely attachable to any operator.  If the
operator does not behave as the estimator expects, you might get a
poor estimate, but it won't crash.

However, estimators that do make datatype assumptions can malfunction
if they are attached to the wrong operator, since then the data they
get from pg_statistic may not be of the type they expect.  This can
rise to the level of a security problem, even permitting arbitrary
code execution by a user who has the ability to create SQL objects.

To close this hole, establish a rule that built-in estimators are
required to protect themselves against being called on the wrong type
of data.  It does not seem practical however to expect estimators in
extensions to reach a similar level of security, at least not in the
near term.  Therefore, also establish a rule that superuser privilege
is required to attach a non-built-in estimator to an operator.
We expect that this restriction will have little negative impact on
extensions, since estimators generally have to be written in C and
thus superuser privilege is required to create them in the first
place.

This commit changes the privilege checks in CREATE/ALTER OPERATOR
to enforce the rule about superuser privilege, and fixes a couple
of built-in estimators that were making datatype assumptions without
sufficiently checking that they're valid.

That commit correctly set the typalign for SQL type aclitem to

bootstrap.c.  This doesn't seem to have caused any ill effects,
probably because we never try to fill a non-null value into
an aclitem[] column during bootstrap.  Nonetheless, it's clearly
a gotcha waiting to happen, so fix it up.

In passing, also fix a couple of typanalyze functions that were
using hard-coded typalign constants when they could just as
easily use greppable TYPALIGN_xxx macros.

Noticed these while working on a patch to expand the set of
typalign values.  I doubt we are going to pursue that path,
but these fixes still seem worth a quick commit.

7a1f0f8747 pg_upgrade: Optimize logical replication slot caught-up check.
Commit 29d0a77fa6 improved pg_upgrade to allow migrating logical slots
provided that all logical slots have caught up (i.e., they have no
pending decodable WAL records). Previously, this verification was done
by checking each slot individually, which could be time-consuming if
there were many logical slots to migrate.

This commit optimizes the check to avoid reading the same WAL stream
multiple times. It performs the check only for the slot with the
minimum confirmed_flush_lsn and applies the result to all other slots
in the same database. This limits the check to at most one logical
slot per database.

During the check, we identify the last decodable WAL record's LSN to
report any slots with unconsumed records, consistent with the existing
error reporting behavior. Additionally, the maximum
confirmed_flush_lsn among all logical slots on the database is used as
an early scan cutoff; finding a decodable WAL record beyond this point
implies that no slot has caught up.

Performance testing demonstrated that the execution time remains
stable regardless of the number of slots in the database.

Note that we do not distinguish slots based on their output plugins. A
hypothetical plugin might use a replication origin filter that filters
out changes from a specific origin. In such cases, we might get a
false positive (erroneously considering a slot caught up). However,
this is safe from a data integrity standpoint, such scenarios are
rare, and the impact of a false positive is minimal.

This optimization is applied only when the old cluster is version 19
or later.

Assign "backend" type earlier during process start-up
Instead of assigning the backend type in the Main function of each
postmaster child, do it right after fork(), by which time it is already
known by postmaster_child_launch().  This reduces the time frame during
which MyBackendType is incorrect.

Before this commit, ProcessStartupPacket would overwrite MyBackendType
to B_BACKEND for dead-end backends, which is quite dubious.  Stop that.

We may now see MyBackendType == B_BG_WORKER before setting up
MyBgworkerEntry.  As far as I can see this is only a problem if we try
to log a message and %b is in log_line_prefix, so we now have a constant
string to cover that case.  Previously, it would print "unrecognized",
which seems strictly worse.

cd375d5b6d Remove useless errdetail_abort()
I don't understand how to reach errdetail_abort() with
MyProc->recoveryConflictPending set. If a recovery conflict signal is
received, ProcessRecoveryConflictInterrupt() raises an ERROR or FATAL
error to cancel the query or connection, and abort processing clears
the flag. The error message from ProcessRecoveryConflictInterrupt() is
very clear that the query or connection was terminated because of
recovery conflict.

The only way to reach it AFAICS is with a race condition, if the
startup process sends a recovery conflict signal when the transaction
has just entered aborted state for some other reason. And in that case
the detail would be misleading, as the transaction was already aborted
for some other reason, not because of the recovery conflict.

errdetail_abort() was the only user of the recoveryConflictPending
flag in PGPROC, so we can remove that and all the related code too.

Failing to do so could lead to confusion regarding which constraint

incorrectly checked for EEXIST, that matters when using O_CREAT and
O_EXCL, rather than ENOENT, for this case.

There are currently only two callers of OpenWalSummaryFile() in the

21c1125d66 Release synchronous replication waiters immediately on configuration changes.
Previously, when synchronous_standby_names was changed (for example,
by reducing the number of required synchronous standbys or modifying
the standby list), backends waiting for synchronous replication were not
released immediately, even if the new configuration no longer required them
to wait. They could remain blocked until additional messages arrived from
standbys and triggered their release.

This commit improves walsender so that backends waiting for synchronous
replication are released as soon as the updated configuration takes effect and
the new settings no longer require them to wait, by calling
SyncRepReleaseWaiters() when configuration changes are processed.

As part of this change, the duplicated code that handles configuration changes
in walsender has been refactored into a new helper function, which is now used
at the three existing call places.

Since this is an improvement rather than a bug fix, it is applied only to
the master branch.

da7a1dc0d6 Refactor att_align_nominal() to improve performance.
Separate att_align_nominal() into two macros, similarly to what
was already done with att_align_datum() and att_align_pointer().
The inner macro att_nominal_alignby() is really just TYPEALIGN(),
while att_align_nominal() retains its previous API by mapping
TYPALIGN_xxx values to numbers of bytes to align to and then
calling att_nominal_alignby().  In support of this, split out
tupdesc.c's logic to do that mapping into a publicly visible
function typalign_to_alignby().

Having done that, we can replace performance-critical uses of
att_align_nominal() with att_nominal_alignby(), where the
typalign_to_alignby() mapping is done just once outside the loop.

In most places I settled for doing typalign_to_alignby() once
per function.  We could in many places pass the alignby value
in from the caller if we wanted to change function APIs for this
purpose; but I'm a bit loath to do that, especially for exported
APIs that extensions might call.  Replacing a char typalign
argument by a uint8 typalignby argument would be an API change
that compilers would fail to warn about, thus silently breaking
code in hard-to-debug ways.  I did revise the APIs of array_iter_setup
and array_iter_next, moving the element type attribute arguments to
the former; if any external code uses those, the argument-count
change will cause visible compile failures.

Performance testing shows that ExecEvalScalarArrayOp is sped up by
about 10% by this change, when using a simple per-element function
such as int8eq.  I did not check any of the other loops optimized
here, but it's reasonable to expect similar gains.

Although the motivation for creating this patch was to avoid a
performance loss if we add some more typalign values, it evidently
is worth doing whether that patch lands or not.

d46aa32ea5 Fix build inconsistency due to the generation of wait-event code
The build generates four files based on the wait event contents stored
in wait_event_names.txt:
- wait_event_types.h
- pgstat_wait_event.c
- wait_event_funcs_data.c
- wait_event_types.sgml

The SGML file is generated as part of a documentation build, with its
data stored in doc/src/sgml/ for meson and configure.  The three others
are handled differently for meson and configure:
- In configure, all the files are created in src/backend/utils/activity/.
A link to wait_event_types.h is created in src/include/utils/.
- In meson, all the files are created in src/include/utils/.

The two C files, pgstat_wait_event.c and wait_event_funcs_data.c, are
then included in respectively wait_event.c and wait_event_funcs.c,
without the "utils/" path.

For configure, this does not present a problem.  For meson, this has to
be combined with a trick in src/backend/utils/activity/meson.build,
where include_directories needs to point to include/utils/ to make the
inclusion of the C files work properly, causing builds to pull in
PostgreSQL headers rather than system headers in some build paths, as
src/include/utils/ would take priority.

In order to fix this issue, this commit reworks the way the C/H files
are generated, becoming consistent with guc_tables.inc.c:
- For meson, basically nothing changes.  The files are still generated
in src/include/utils/.  The trick with include_directories is removed.
- For configure, the files are now generated in src/backend/utils/, with
links in src/include/utils/ pointing to the ones in src/backend/.  This
requires extra rules in src/backend/utils/activity/Makefile so as a
make command in this sub-directory is able to work.
- The three files now fall under header-stamp, which is actually simpler
as guc_tables.inc.c does the same.
- wait_event_funcs_data.c and pgstat_wait_event.c are now included with
"utils/" in their path.

This problem has not been an issue in the buildfarm; it has been noted
with AIX and a conflict with float.h.  This issue could, however, create
conflicts in the buildfarm depending on the environment with unexpected
headers pulled in, so this fix is backpatched down to where the
generation of the wait-event files has been introduced.

While on it, this commit simplifies wait_event_names.txt regarding the
paths of the files generated, to mention just the names of the files
generated.  The paths where the files are generated became incorrect.
The path of the SGML path was wrong.

This change has been tested in the CI, down to v17.  Locally, I have run
tests with configure (with and without VPATH), as well as meson, on the
three branches.

Combo oversight in fa88928470 and 1e68e43d3f.

e2362eb2bd Move shmem allocator's fields from PGShmemHeader to its own struct
For readability. It was a slight modularity violation to have fields
in PGShmemHeader that were only used by the allocator code in
shmem.c. And it was inconsistent that ShmemLock was nevertheless not
stored there. Moving all the allocator-related fields to a separate
struct makes it more consistent and modular, and removes the need to
allocate and pass ShmemLock separately via BackendParameters.

Merge InitShmemAccess() and InitShmemAllocation() into a single
function that initializes the struct when called from postmaster, and
when called from backends in EXEC_BACKEND mode, re-establishes the
global variables. That's similar to all the *ShmemInit() functions
that we have.

To fix, move the check to table_beginscan* so it is performed once per scan

therefore, the CheckXidAlive check is retained in that function. The overhead

333f586372 bufmgr: Allow conditionally locking of already locked buffer
In fcb9c977aa I included an assertion in BufferLockConditional() to detect if
a conditional lock acquisition is done on a buffer that we already have
locked. The assertion was added in the course of adding other assertions.
Unfortunately I failed to realize that some of our code relies on such lock
acquisitions to silently fail. E.g. spgist and nbtree may try to conditionally
lock an already locked buffer when acquiring a empty buffer.

LWLockAcquireConditional(), which was previously used to implement
ConditionalLockBuffer(), does not have such an assert.

Instead of just removing the assert, and relying on the lock acquisition to
fail due to the buffer already locked, this commit changes the behaviour of
conditional content lock acquisition to fail if the current backend has any
pre-existing lock on the buffer, even if the lock modes would not
conflict. The reason for that is that we currently do not have space to track
multiple lock acquisitions on a single buffer. Allowing multiple locks on the
same buffer by a backend also seems likely to lead to bugs.

There is only one non-self-exclusive conditional content lock acquisition, in
GetVictimBuffer(), but it only is used if the target buffer is not pinned and
thus can't already be locked by the current backend.

de90bb7db1 Fix theoretical memory leaks in pg_locale_libc.c.
The leaks were hard to reach in practice and the impact was low.

The callers provide a buffer the same number of bytes as the source
string (plus one for NUL terminator) as a starting size, and libc
never increases the number of characters. But, if the byte length of
one of the converted characters is larger, then it might need a larger
destination buffer. Previously, in that case, the working buffers
would be leaked.

Even in that case, the call typically happens within a context that
will soon be reset. Regardless, it's worth fixing to avoid such
assumptions, and the fix is simple so it's worth backporting.

efbebb4e85 Add support for "mcv" in pg_restore_extended_stats()
This commit adds support for the restore of extended statistics of the
kind "mcv", aka most-common values.

This format is different from n_distinct and dependencies stat types in
that it is the combination of three of the four different arrays from the
pg_stats_ext view which in turn require three different input parameters
on pg_restore_extended_statistics().  These are translated into three
input arguments for the function:
- "most_common_vals", acting as a leader of the others.  It is a
2-dimension array, that includes the common values.
- "most_common_freqs", 1-dimension array of float8[], with a number of
elements that has to match with "most_common_vals".
- "most_common_base_freqs", 1-dimension array of float8[], with a number
of elements that has to match with "most_common_vals".

All three arrays are required to achieve the restore of this type of
extended statistics (if "most_common_vals" happens to be NULL in the
catalogs, the rest is NULL by design).

Note that "most_common_val_nulls" is not required in input, its data is
rebuilt from the decomposition of the "most_common_vals" array based on
its text[] representation.  The initial versions of the patch provided
this option in input, but we do not require it and it simplifies a lot
the result.

Support in pg_dump is added down to v13 which is where the support for
this type of extended statistics has been added, when --statistics is
used.  This means that upgrade and dumps can restore extended statistics
data transparently, like "dependencies", "ndistinct", attribute and
relation statistics.  For MCV, the values are directly queried from the
relevant catalogs.

227eb4eea2 Refactor replication origin state reset helpers.
Factor out common logic for clearing replorigin_session_* variables
into a dedicated helper function, replorigin_xact_clear().

This removes duplicated assignments of these variables across multiple
call sites, and makes the intended scope of each reset explicit.

4020b370f2 Allow for plugin control over path generation strategies.
Each RelOptInfo now has a pgs_mask member which is a mask of acceptable
strategies. For most rels, this is populated from PlannerGlobal's
default_pgs_mask, which is computed from the values of the enable_*
GUCs at the start of planning.

For baserels, get_relation_info_hook can be used to adjust pgs_mask for
each new RelOptInfo, at least for rels of type RTE_RELATION. Adjusting
pgs_mask is less useful for other types of rels, but if it proves to
be necessary, we can revisit the way this hook works or add a new one.

For joinrels, two new hooks are added. joinrel_setup_hook is called each
time a joinrel is created, and one thing that can be done from that hook
is to manipulate pgs_mask for the new joinrel. join_path_setup_hook is
called each time we're about to add paths to a joinrel by considering
some particular combination of an outer rel, an inner rel, and a join
type. It can modify the pgs_mask propagated into JoinPathExtraData to
restrict strategy choice for that particular combination of rels.

To make joinrel_setup_hook work as intended, the existing calls to
build_joinrel_partition_info are moved later in the calling functions;
this is because that function checks whether the rel's pgs_mask includes
PGS_CONSIDER_PARTITIONWISE, so we want it to only be called after
plugins have had a chance to alter pgs_mask.

Upper rels currently inherit pgs_mask from the input relation. It's
unclear that this is the most useful behavior, but at the moment there
are no hooks to allow the mask to be set in any other way.

Fix duplicate arbiter detection during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY on partitions
Commit 90eae926a fixed ON CONFLICT handling during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
on partitioned tables by treating unparented indexes as potential
arbiters.  However, there's a remaining race condition: when pg_inherits
records are swapped between consecutive calls to get_partition_ancestors(),
two different child indexes can appear to have the same parent, causing
duplicate entries in the arbiter list and triggering "invalid arbiter
index list" errors.

Note that this is not a new problem introduced by 90eae926a.  The same
error could occur before that commit in a slightly different scenario:
an index is selected during planning, then index_concurrently_swap()
commits, and a subsequent call to get_partition_ancestors() uses a new
catalog snapshot that sees zero ancestors for that index.

Fix by tracking which parent indexes have already been processed.  If a
subsequent call to get_partition_ancestors() returns a parent we've
already seen, treat that index as unparented instead, allowing it to be
matched via IsIndexCompatibleAsArbiter() like other concurrent reindex
scenarios.

e3094679b9 Fix pg_restore_extended_stats() with expressions
This commit fixes an issue with the restore of ndistinct and
dependencies statistics, causing the operation to fail when any of these
kinds included expressions.

In extended statistics, expressions use strictly negative attribute
numbers, decremented from -1.  For example, let's imagine an object
defined as follows:
CREATE STATISTICS stats_obj (dependencies) ON lower(name), upper(name)
  FROM tab_obj;

This object would generate dependencies stats using -1 and -2 as
attribute numbers, like that:
[{"attributes": [-1], "dependency": -2, "degree": 1.000000},
 {"attributes": [-2], "dependency": -1, "degree": 1.000000}]

However, pg_restore_extended_stats() forgot to account for the number of
expressions defined in an extended statistics object.  This would cause
the validation step of ndistinct and dependencies data to fail,
preventing a restore of their stats even if the input is valid.

This issue has come up due to an incorrect split of the patch set.  Some
tests are included to cover this behavior.

851f6649cc Prevent invalidation of newly synced replication slots.
A race condition could cause a newly synced replication slot to become
invalidated between its initial sync and the checkpoint.

When syncing a replication slot to a standby, the slot's initial
restart_lsn is taken from the publisher's remote_restart_lsn. Because slot
sync happens asynchronously, this value can lag behind the standby's
current redo pointer. Without any interlocking between WAL reservation and
checkpoints, a checkpoint may remove WAL required by the newly synced
slot, causing the slot to be invalidated.

To fix this, we acquire ReplicationSlotAllocationLock before reserving WAL
for a newly synced slot, similar to commit 006dd4b2e5. This ensures that
if WAL reservation happens first, the checkpoint process must wait for
slotsync to update the slot's restart_lsn before it computes the minimum
required LSN.

However, unlike in ReplicationSlotReserveWal(), this lock alone cannot
protect a newly synced slot if a checkpoint has already run
CheckPointReplicationSlots() before slotsync updates the slot. In such
cases, the remote restart_lsn may be stale and earlier than the current
redo pointer. To prevent relying on an outdated LSN, we use the oldest
WAL location available if it is greater than the remote restart_lsn.

This ensures that newly synced slots always start with a safe, non-stale
restart_lsn and are not invalidated by concurrent checkpoints.

WalSndShutdown() previously called abort() after proc_exit(0) to
silence compiler warnings. This is no longer needed, because both
WalSndShutdown() and proc_exit() are declared pg_noreturn,
allowing the compiler to recognize that the function does not return.
Also there are already other functions, such as CheckpointerMain(),
that call proc_exit() without an abort(), and they do not produce warnings.

Therefore this abort() call in WalSndShutdown() is useless and

3fccbd94cb Handle ENOENT status when querying NUMA node
We've assumed that touching the memory is sufficient for a page to be
located on one of the NUMA nodes. But a page may be moved to a swap
after we touch it, due to memory pressure.

We touch the memory before querying the status, but there is no
guarantee it won't be moved to the swap in the meantime. The touching
happens only on the first call, so later calls are more likely to be
affected. And the batching increases the window too.

It's up to the kernel if/when pages get moved to swap. We have to accept
ENOENT (-2) as a valid result, and handle it without failing. This patch
simply treats it as an unknown node, and returns NULL in the two
affected views (pg_shmem_allocations_numa and pg_buffercache_numa).

Hugepages cannot be swapped out, so this affects only regular pages.

Reported by Christoph Berg, investigation and fix by me. Backpatch to

302879bd68 Add support for "dependencies" in pg_restore_extended_stats()

kind "dependencies", for the following input data:
[{"attributes": [2], "dependency": 3, "degree": 1.000000},
 {"attributes": [3], "dependency": 2, "degree": 1.000000}]

This relies on the existing routines of "dependencies" to cross-check
the input data with the definition of the extended statistics objects
for the attribute numbers.  An input argument of type "pg_dependencies"
is required for this new option.

Thanks to the work done in 0e80f3f88d for the restore function and
e1405aa5e3 for the input handling of data type pg_dependencies, this
addition is straight-forward.  This will be used so as it is possible to
transfer these statistics across dumps and upgrades, removing the need
for a post-operation ANALYZE for these kinds of statistics.

648a7e28d7 Eliminate use of cached VM value in lazy_scan_prune()
lazy_scan_prune() takes a parameter from lazy_scan_heap() indicating
whether the page was marked all-visible in the VM at the time it was
last checked in find_next_unskippable_block(). This behavior is
historical, dating back to commit 608195a3a3, when we did not pin the
VM page until deciding we must read it. Now that the VM page is already
pinned, there is no meaningful benefit to relying on a cached VM status.

Removing this cached value simplifies the logic in both lazy_scan_heap()
and lazy_scan_prune(). It also clarifies future work that will set the
visibility map on-access: such paths will not have a cached value
available, which would make the logic harder to reason about. And
eliminating it enables us to detect and repair VM corruption on-access.

Along with removing the cached value and unconditionally checking the
visibility status of the heap page, this commit also moves the VM
corruption handling to occur first. This reordering should have no
performance impact, since the checks are inexpensive and performed only
once per page. It does, however, make the control flow easier to
understand. The new restructuring also makes it possible to set the VM
after fixing corruption (if pruning found the page all-visible).

Now that no callers of visibilitymap_set() use its return value, change
its (and visibilitymap_set_vmbits()) return type to void.

21796c267d Combine visibilitymap_set() cases in lazy_scan_prune()
lazy_scan_prune() previously had two separate cases that called
visibilitymap_set() after pruning and freezing. These branches were
nearly identical except that one attempted to avoid dirtying the heap
buffer. However, that situation can never occur — the heap buffer cannot
be clean at that point (and we would hit an assertion if it were).

In lazy_scan_prune(), when we change a previously all-visible page to
all-frozen and the page was recorded as all-visible in the visibility
map by find_next_unskippable_block(), the heap buffer will always be
dirty. Either we have just frozen a tuple and already dirtied the
buffer, or the buffer was modified between find_next_unskippable_block()
and heap_page_prune_and_freeze() and then pruned in
heap_page_prune_and_freeze().

Additionally, XLogRegisterBuffer() asserts that the buffer is dirty, so
attempting to add a clean heap buffer to the WAL chain would assert out
anyway.

Since the “clean heap buffer with already set VM” case is impossible,
the two visibilitymap_set() branches in lazy_scan_prune() can be merged.
Doing so makes the intent clearer and emphasizes that the heap buffer
must always be marked dirty before being added to the WAL chain.

This commit also adds a test case for vacuuming when no heap
modifications are required. Currently this ensures that the heap buffer
is marked dirty before it is added to the WAL chain, but if we later
remove the heap buffer from the VM-set WAL chain or pass it with the
REGBUF_NO_CHANGES flag, this test would guard that behavior.

db14dcdec6 Lookup the correct ordering for parallel GIN builds
When building a tuplesort during parallel GIN builds, the function
incorrectly looked up the default B-Tree operator, not the function
associated with the GIN opclass (through GIN_COMPARE_PROC).

Fixed by using the same logic as initGinState(), and the other place
in parallel GIN builds.

This could cause two types of issues. First, a data type might not have
a B-Tree opclass, in which case the PrepareSortSupportFromOrderingOp()
fails with an ERROR. Second, a data type might have both B-Tree and GIN
opclasses, defining order/equality in different ways. This could lead to
logical corruption in the index.

Backpatch to 18, where parallel GIN builds were introduced.

7027dd499d Remove deduplication logic from find_window_functions
This code thought it was optimizing WindowAgg evaluation by getting rid
of duplicate WindowFuncs, but it turns out all it does today is lead to
cost-underestimations and makes it possible that optimize_window_clauses
could miss some of the WindowFuncs that must receive an updated winref.

The deduplication likely was useful when it was first added, but since
the projection code was changed in b8d7f053c, the list of WindowFuncs
gathered by find_window_functions isn't used during execution.  Instead,
the expression evaluation code will process the node's targetlist to find
the WindowFuncs.

The reason the deduplication could cause issues for
optimize_window_clauses() is because if a WindowFunc is moved to another
WindowClause, the winref is adjusted to reference the new WindowClause.
If any duplicate WindowFuncs were discarded in find_window_functions()
then the WindowFuncLists may not include all the WindowFuncs that need
their winref adjusted.  This could lead to an error message such as:

ERROR:  WindowFunc with winref 2 assigned to WindowAgg with winref 1

The back-branches will receive a different fix so that the WindowAgg costs
are not affected.

0e80f3f88d Add pg_restore_extended_stats()
This function closely mirror its relation and attribute counterparts,
but for extended statistics (i.e. CREATE STATISTICS) objects, being
able to restore extended statistics for an extended stats object.  Like
the other functions, the goal of this feature is to ease the dump or
upgrade of clusters so as ANALYZE would not be required anymore after
these operations, stats being directly loaded into the target cluster
without any post-dump/upgrade computation.

The caller of this function needs the following arguments for the
extended stats to restore:
- The name of the relation.
- The schema name of the relation.
- The name of the extended stats object.
- The schema name of the extended stats object.
- If the stats are inherited or not.
- One or more extended stats kind with its data.

This commit adds only support for the restore of the extended statistics
kind "n_distinct", building the basic infrastructure for the restore
of more extended statistics kinds in follow-up commits, including MVC
and dependencies.

The support for "n_distinct" is eased in this commit thanks to the
previous work done particularly in commits 1f927cce44 and
44eba8f06e, that have added the input function for the type
pg_ndistinct, used as data type in input of this new restore function.

b4307ae2e5 Fix trigger transition table capture for MERGE in CTE queries.
When executing a data-modifying CTE query containing MERGE and some
other DML operation on a table with statement-level AFTER triggers,
the transition tables passed to the triggers would fail to include the
rows affected by the MERGE.

The reason is that, when initializing a ModifyTable node for MERGE,
MakeTransitionCaptureState() would create a TransitionCaptureState
structure with a single "tcs_private" field pointing to an
AfterTriggersTableData structure with cmdType == CMD_MERGE. Tuples
captured there would then not be included in the sets of tuples
captured when executing INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE ModifyTable nodes in the
same query.

Since there are no MERGE triggers, we should only create
AfterTriggersTableData structures for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Individual
MERGE actions should then use those, thereby sharing the same capture
tuplestores as any other DML commands executed in the same query.

This requires changing the TransitionCaptureState structure, replacing
"tcs_private" with 3 separate pointers to AfterTriggersTableData
structures, one for each of INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Nominally,
this is an ABI break to a public structure in commands/trigger.h.
However, since this is a private field pointing to an opaque data
structure, the only way to create a valid TransitionCaptureState is by
calling MakeTransitionCaptureState(), and no extensions appear to be
doing that anyway, so it seems safe for back-patching.

Backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

a36164e746 Add WALRCV_CONNECTING state to the WAL receiver
Previously, a WAL receiver freshly started would set its state to
WALRCV_STREAMING immediately at startup, before actually establishing a
replication connection.

This commit introduces a new state called WALRCV_CONNECTING, which is
the state used when the WAL receiver freshly starts, or when a restart
is requested, with a switch to WALRCV_STREAMING once the connection to
the upstream server has been established with COPY_BOTH, meaning that
the WAL receiver is ready to stream changes.  This change is useful for
monitoring purposes, especially in environments with a high latency
where a connection could take some time to be established, giving some
room between the [re]start phase and the streaming activity.

From the point of view of the startup process, that flips the shared
memory state of the WAL receiver when it needs to be stopped, the
existing WALRCV_STREAMING and the new WALRCV_CONNECTING states have the
same semantics: the WAL receiver has started and it can be stopped.

Based on an initial suggestion from Noah Misch, with some input from me
about the design.

f9a468c664 Fix bogus ctid requirement for dummy-root partitioned targets
ExecInitModifyTable() unconditionally required a ctid junk column even
when the target was a partitioned table. This led to spurious "could
not find junk ctid column" errors when all children were excluded and
only the dummy root result relation remained.

A partitioned table only appears in the result relations list when all
leaf partitions have been pruned, leaving the dummy root as the sole
entry. Assert this invariant (nrels == 1) and skip the ctid requirement.
Also adjust ExecModifyTable() to tolerate invalid ri_RowIdAttNo for
partitioned tables, which is safe since no rows will be processed in
this case.

4b760a181a Remove faulty Assert in partitioned INSERT...ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
Commit f16241bef mistakenly supposed that INSERT...ON CONFLICT DO
UPDATE rejects partitioned target tables.  (This may have been
accurate when the patch was written, but it was already obsolete
when committed.)  Hence, there's an assertion that we can't see
ItemPointerIndicatesMovedPartitions() in that path, but the assertion
is triggerable.

Some other places throw error if they see a moved-across-partitions
tuple, but there seems no need for that here, because if we just retry
then we get the same behavior as in the update-within-partition case,
as demonstrated by the new isolation test.  So fix by deleting the
faulty Assert.  (The fact that this is the fix doubtless explains
why we've heard no field complaints: the behavior of a non-assert
build is fine.)

The TM_Deleted case contains a cargo-culted copy of the same Assert,
which I also deleted to avoid confusion, although I believe that one
is actually not triggerable.

Per our code coverage report, neither the TM_Updated nor the
TM_Deleted case were reached at all by existing tests, so this
patch adds tests for both.

c257ba8397 Record range constructor functions in pg_range
When a range type is created, several construction functions are also
created, two for the range type and three for the multirange type.
These have an internal dependency, so they "belong" to the range type.
But there was no way to identify those functions when given a range
type.  An upcoming patch needs access to the two- or possibly the
three-argument range constructor function for a given range type.  The
only way to do that would be with fragile workarounds like matching
names and argument types.  The correct way to do that kind of thing is
to record to the links in the system catalogs.  This is what this
patch does, it records the OIDs of these five constructor functions in
the pg_range catalog.  (Currently, there is no code that makes use of
this.)

a5b40d156e Mark commented out code as unused
There were many PG_GETARG_* calls, mostly around gin, gist, spgist
code, that were commented out, presumably to indicate that the
argument was unused and to indicate that it wasn't forgotten or
miscounted.  But keeping commented-out code updated with refactorings
and style changes is annoying.  So this commit changes them to

    #ifdef NOT_USED

blocks, which is a style already in use.  That way, at least the
indentation and syntax highlighting works correctly, making some of
these blocks much easier to read.

An alternative would be to just delete that code, but there is some
value in making unused arguments explicit, and some of this arguably
serves as example code for index AM APIs.

e5d99b4d9e jit: Add missing inline pass for LLVM >= 17.
With LLVM >= 17, transform passes are provided as a string to
LLVMRunPasses. Only two strings were used: "default<O3>" and
"default<O0>,mem2reg".

With previous LLVM versions, an additional inline pass was added when
JIT inlining was enabled without optimization. With LLVM >= 17, the code
would go through llvm_inline, prepare the functions for inlining, but
the generated bitcode would be the same due to the missing inline pass.

This patch restores the previous behavior by adding an inline pass when
inlining is enabled but no optimization is done.

This fixes an oversight introduced by 76200e5e when support for LLVM 17
was added.

4576208454 Force standard_conforming_strings to always be ON.
Continuing to support this backwards-compatibility feature has
nontrivial costs; in particular it is potentially a security hazard
if an application somehow gets confused about which setting the
server is using.  We changed the default to ON fifteen years ago,
which seems like enough time for applications to have adapted.
Let's remove support for the legacy string syntax.

We should not remove the GUC altogether, since client-side code will
still test it, pg_dump scripts will attempt to set it to ON, etc.
Instead, just prevent it from being set to OFF.  There is precedent
for this approach (see commit de66987ad).

This patch does remove the related GUC escape_string_warning, however.
That setting does nothing when standard_conforming_strings is on,
so it's now useless.  We could leave it in place as a do-nothing
setting to avoid breaking clients that still set it, if there are any.
But it seems likely that any such client is also trying to turn off
standard_conforming_strings, so it'll need work anyway.

The client-side changes in this patch are pretty minimal, because even
though we are dropping the server's support, most of our clients still
need to be able to talk to older server versions.  We could remove
dead client code only once we disclaim compatibility with pre-v19
servers, which is surely years away.  One change of note is that
pg_dump/pg_dumpall now set standard_conforming_strings = on in their
source session, rather than accepting the source server's default.
This ensures that literals in view definitions and such will be
printed in a way that's acceptable to v19+.  In particular,
pg_upgrade will work transparently even if the source installation has
standard_conforming_strings = off.  (However, pg_restore will behave
the same as before if given an archive file containing
standard_conforming_strings = off.  Such an archive will not be safely
restorable into v19+, but we shouldn't break the ability to extract
valid data from it for use with an older server.)

normalized query.

This commit disables squashing for mixed IN list expressions when

34740b90bc Fix unsafe pushdown of quals referencing grouping Vars
When checking a subquery's output expressions to see if it's safe to
push down an upper-level qual, check_output_expressions() previously
treated grouping Vars as opaque Vars.  This implicitly assumed they
were stable and scalar.

However, a grouping Var's underlying expression corresponds to the
grouping clause, which may be volatile or set-returning.  If an
upper-level qual references such an output column, pushing it down
into the subquery is unsafe.  This can cause strange results due to
multiple evaluation of a volatile function, or introduce SRFs into
the subquery's WHERE/HAVING quals.

This patch teaches check_output_expressions() to look through grouping
Vars to their underlying expressions.  This ensures that any
volatility or set-returning properties in the grouping clause are
detected, preventing the unsafe pushdown.

We do not need to recursively examine the Vars contained in these
underlying expressions.  Even if they reference outputs from
lower-level subqueries (at any depth), those references are guaranteed
not to expand to volatile or set-returning functions, because
subqueries containing such functions in their targetlists are never
pulled up.

Backpatch to v18, where this issue was introduced.

889676a0d5 Fix rowmark handling for non-relation RTEs during executor init
Commit cbc127917e introduced tracking of unpruned relids to skip
processing of pruned partitions. PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids is
computed as the difference between PlannerGlobal.allRelids and
prunableRelids, but allRelids only contains RTE_RELATION entries.
This means non-relation RTEs (VALUES, subqueries, CTEs, etc.) are
never included in unprunableRelids, and consequently not in
es_unpruned_relids at runtime.

As a result, rowmarks attached to non-relation RTEs were incorrectly
skipped during executor initialization. This affects any DML statement
that has rowmarks on such RTEs, including MERGE with a VALUES or
subquery source, and UPDATE/DELETE with joins against subqueries or
CTEs. When a concurrent update triggers an EPQ recheck, the missing
rowmark leads to incorrect results.

Fix by restricting the es_unpruned_relids membership check to
RTE_RELATION entries only, since partition pruning only applies to
actual relations. Rowmarks for other RTE kinds are now always
processed.

9cbb1d21d6 Fix segfault from releasing locks in detached DSM segments
If a FATAL error occurs while holding a lock in a DSM segment (such
as a dshash lock) and the process is not in a transaction, a
segmentation fault can occur during process exit.

The problem sequence is:

 1. Process acquires a lock in a DSM segment (e.g., via dshash)
 2. FATAL error occurs outside transaction context
 3. proc_exit() begins, calling before_shmem_exit callbacks
 4. dsm_backend_shutdown() detaches all DSM segments
 5. Later, on_shmem_exit callbacks run
 6. ProcKill() calls LWLockReleaseAll()
 7. Segfault: the lock being released is in unmapped memory

This only manifests outside transaction contexts because
AbortTransaction() calls LWLockReleaseAll() during transaction
abort, releasing locks before DSM cleanup. Background workers and
other non-transactional code paths are vulnerable.

Fix by calling LWLockReleaseAll() unconditionally at the start of
shmem_exit(), before any callbacks run. Releasing locks before
callbacks prevents the segfault - locks must be released before
dsm_backend_shutdown() detaches their memory. This is safe because
after an error, held locks are protecting potentially inconsistent
data anyway, and callbacks can acquire fresh locks if needed.

Also add a comment noting that LWLockReleaseAll() must be safe to
call before LWLock initialization (which it is, since
num_held_lwlocks will be 0), plus an Assert for the post-condition.

This fix aligns with the original design intent from commit
001a573a2, which noted that backends must clean up shared memory
state (including releasing lwlocks) before unmapping dynamic shared
memory segments.

d756fa1019 Add pg_clear_extended_stats()
This function is able to clear the data associated to an extended
statistics object, making things so as the object looks as
newly-created.

The caller of this function needs the following arguments for the
extended stats to clear:
- The name of the relation.
- The schema name of the relation.
- The name of the extended stats object.
- The schema name of the extended stats object.
- If the stats are inherited or not.

The first two parameters are especially important to ensure a consistent
lookup and ACL checks for the relation on which is based the extended
stats object that will be cleared, relying first on a RangeVar lookup
where permissions are checked without locking a relation, critical to
prevent denial-of-service attacks when using this kind of function (see
also 688dc6299a for a similar concern).  The third to fifth arguments
give a way to target the extended stats records to clear.

This has been extracted from a larger patch by the same author, for a
piece which is again useful on its own.  I have rewritten large portions
of it.  The tests have been extended while discussing this piece,
resulting on what this commit includes.  The intention behind this
feature is to add support for the import of extended statistics across
dumps and upgrades, this change building one piece that we will be able
to rely on for the rest of the changes.

d40fd85187 lwlock: Remove support for disowned lwlwocks
This reverts commit f8d7f29b3e, plus parts of
subsequent commits fixing a typo in a parameter name.

Support for disowned lwlocks was added for the benefit of AIO, to be able to
have content locks "owned" by the AIO subsystem. But as of commit fcb9c977aa,
content locks do not use lwlocks anymore.

It does not seem particularly likely that we need this facility outside of the
AIO use-case, therefore remove the now unused functions.

I did choose to keep the comment added in the aforementioned commit about
lock->owner intentionally being left pointing to the last owner.

fcb9c977aa bufmgr: Implement buffer content locks independently of lwlocks
Until now buffer content locks were implemented using lwlocks. That has the
obvious advantage of not needing a separate efficient implementation of
locks. However, the time for a dedicated buffer content lock implementation
has come:

1) Hint bits are currently set while holding only a share lock. This leads to
   having to copy pages while they are being written out if checksums are
   enabled, which is not cheap. We would like to add AIO writes, however once
   many buffers can be written out at the same time, it gets a lot more
   expensive to copy them, particularly because that copy needs to reside in
   shared buffers (for worker mode to have access to the buffer).

   In addition, modifying buffers while they are being written out can cause
   issues with unbuffered/direct-IO, as some filesystems (like btrfs) do not
   like that, due to filesystem internal checksums getting corrupted.

   The solution to this is to require a new share-exclusive lock-level to set
   hint bits and to write out buffers, making those operations mutually
   exclusive. We could introduce such a lock-level into the generic lwlock
   implementation, however it does not look like there would be other users,
   and it does add some overhead into important code paths.

2) For AIO writes we need to be able to race-freely check whether a buffer is
   undergoing IO and whether an exclusive lock on the page can be acquired. That
   is rather hard to do efficiently when the buffer state and the lock state
   are separate atomic variables. This is a major hindrance to allowing writes
   to be done asynchronously.

3) Buffer locks are by far the most frequently taken locks. Optimizing them
   specifically for their use case is worth the effort. E.g. by merging
   content locks into buffer locks we will be able to release a buffer lock
   and pin in one atomic operation.

4) There are more complicated optimizations, like long-lived "super pinned &
   locked" pages, that cannot realistically be implemented with the generic
   lwlock implementation.

Therefore implement content locks inside bufmgr.c. The lockstate is stored as
part of BufferDesc.state. The implementation of buffer content locks is fairly
similar to lwlocks, with a few important differences:

1) An additional lock-level share-exclusive has been added. This lock-level
   conflicts with exclusive locks and itself, but not share locks.

2) Error recovery for content locks is implemented as part of the already
   existing private-refcount tracking mechanism in combination with resowners,
   instead of a bespoke mechanism as the case for lwlocks. This means we do
   not need to add dedicated error-recovery code paths to release all content
   locks (like done with LWLockReleaseAll() for lwlocks).

3) The lock state is embedded in BufferDesc.state instead of having its own
   struct.

4) The wakeup logic is a tad more complicated due to needing to support the
   additional lock-level

This commit unfortunately introduces some code that is very similar to the
code in lwlock.c, however the code is not equivalent enough to easily merge
it. The future wins that this commit makes possible seem worth the cost.

As of this commit nothing uses the new share-exclusive lock mode. It will be
used in a future commit. It seemed too complicated to introduce the lock-level
in a separate commit.

It's worth calling out one wart in this commit: Despite content locks not
being lwlocks anymore, they continue to use PGPROC->lw* - that seemed better
than duplicating the relevant infrastructure.

Another thing worth pointing out is that, after this change, content locks are
not reported as LWLock wait events anymore, but as new wait events in the
"Buffer" wait event class (see also 6c5c393b74). The old BufferContent lwlock
tranche has been removed.

282b1cde9d Optimize LISTEN/NOTIFY via shared channel map and direct advancement.
This patch reworks LISTEN/NOTIFY to avoid waking backends that have
no need to process the notification messages we just sent.

The primary change is to create a shared hash table that tracks
which processes are listening to which channels (where a "channel" is
defined by a database OID and channel name).  This allows a notifying
process to accurately determine which listeners are interested,
replacing the previous weak approximation that listeners in other
databases couldn't be interested.

Secondly, if a listener is known not to be interested and is
currently stopped at the old queue head, we avoid waking it at all
and just directly advance its queue pointer past the notifications
we inserted.

These changes permit very significant improvements (integer multiples)
in NOTIFY throughput, as well as a noticeable reduction in latency,
when there are many listeners but only a few are interested in any
specific message.  There is no improvement for the simplest case where
every listener reads every message, but any loss seems below the noise
level.

23b25586dc Fix 'unexpected data beyond EOF' on replica restart
On restart, a replica can fail with an error like 'unexpected data
beyond EOF in block 200 of relation T/D/R'. These are the steps to
reproduce it:

- A relation has a size of 400 blocks.
  - Blocks 201 to 400 are empty.
  - Block 200 has two rows.
  - Blocks 100 to 199 are empty.
- A restartpoint is done
- Vacuum truncates the relation to 200 blocks
- A FPW deletes a row in block 200
- A checkpoint is done
- A FPW deletes the last row in block 200
- Vacuum truncates the relation to 100 blocks
- The replica restarts

When the replica restarts:

- The relation on disk starts at 100 blocks, because all the
  truncations were applied before restart.
- The first truncate to 200 blocks is replayed. It silently fails, but
  it will still (incorrectly!) update the cache size to 200 blocks
- The first FPW on block 200 is applied. XLogReadBufferForRead relies
  on the cached size and incorrectly assumes that the page already
  exists in the file, and thus won't extend the relation.
- The online checkpoint record is replayed, calling smgrdestroyall
  which causes the cached size to be discarded
- The second FPW on block 200 is applied. This time, the detected size
  is 100 blocks, an extend is attempted. However, the block 200 is
  already present in the buffer cache due to the first FPW. This
  triggers the 'unexpected data beyond EOF'.

To fix, update the cached size in SmgrRelation with the current size
rather than the requested new size, when the requested new size is
greater.

d9c3c94365 Wake up autovacuum launcher from postmaster when a worker exits
When an autovacuum worker exits, the launcher needs to be notified
with SIGUSR2, so that it can rebalance and possibly launch a new
worker. The launcher must be notified only after the worker has
finished ProcKill(), so that the worker slot is available for a new
worker. Before this commit, the autovacuum worker was responsible for
that, which required a slightly complicated dance to pass the
launcher's PID from FreeWorkerInfo() to ProcKill() in a global
variable.

Simplify that by moving the responsibility of the signaling to the
postmaster. The postmaster was already doing it when it failed to fork
a worker process, so it seems logical to make it responsible for
notifying the launcher on worker exit too. That's also how the
notification on background worker exit is done.

102bdaa9be Add check for invalid offset at multixid truncation
If a multixid with zero offset is left behind after a crash, and that
multixid later becomes the oldest multixid, truncation might try to
look up its offset and read the zero value. In the worst case, we
might incorrectly use the zero offset to truncate valid SLRU segments
that are still needed. I'm not sure if that can happen in practice, or
if there are some other lower-level safeguards or incidental reasons
that prevent the caller from passing an unwritten multixid as the
oldest multi. But better safe than sorry, so let's add an explicit
check for it.

In stable branches, we should perhaps do the same check for
'oldestOffset', i.e. the offset of the old oldest multixid (in master,
'oldestOffset' is gone). But if the old oldest multixid has an invalid
offset, the damage has been done already, and we would never advance
past that point. It's not clear what we should do in that case. The
check that this commit adds will prevent such an multixid with invalid
offset from becoming the oldest multixid in the first place, which
seems enough for now.

'oldestOffset' was included in the WAL record as 'startTruncMemb',

determining what to truncate. Replaying the WAL would remove all
segments older than 'endTruncMemb', regardless of
'startTruncMemb'. The 'startTruncOff' stored in the WAL record was
similarly unnecessary even before 64-bit multixid offsets, it was
stored just for the sake of symmetry with 'startTruncMemb'. Remove
both from the WAL record, and rename the remaining 'endTruncOff' to

with the variable names used for them in other places.

e385a4e2fd Prevent unintended dropping of active replication origins.
Commit 5b148706c5 exposed functionality that allows multiple processes to
use the same replication origin, enabling non-builtin logical replication
solutions to implement parallel apply for large transactions.

With this functionality, if two backends acquire the same replication
origin and one of them resets it first, the acquired_by flag is cleared
without acknowledging that another backend is still actively using the
origin. This can lead to the origin being unintentionally dropped. If the
shared memory for that dropped origin is later reused for a newly created
origin, the remaining backend that still holds a pointer to the old memory
may inadvertently advance the LSN of a completely different origin,
causing unpredictable behavior.

Although the underlying issue predates commit 5b148706c5, it did not
surface earlier because the internal parallel apply worker mechanism
correctly coordinated origin resets and drops.

This commit resolves the problem by introducing a reference counter for
replication origins. The reference count increases when a backend sets the
origin and decreases when it resets it. Additionally, the backend that
first acquires the origin will not release it until all other backends
using the origin have released it as well.

The patch also prevents dropping a replication origin when acquired_by is
zero but the reference counter is nonzero, covering the scenario where the
first session exits without properly releasing the origin.

9a385f6166 lwlock: Invert meaning of LW_FLAG_RELEASE_OK
Previously, a flag was set to indicate that a lock release should wake up
waiters. Since waking waiters is the default behavior in the majority of
cases, this logic has been inverted. The new LW_FLAG_WAKE_IN_PROGRESS flag is
now set iff wakeups are explicitly inhibited.

The motivation for this change is that in an upcoming commit, content locks
will be implemented independently of lwlocks, with the lock state stored as
part of BufferDesc.state. As all of a buffer's flags are cleared when the
buffer is invalidated, without this change we would have to re-add the
RELEASE_OK flag after clearing the flags; otherwise, the next lock release
would not wake waiters.

It seems good to keep the implementation of lwlocks and buffer content locks
as similar as reasonably possible.

0b96e734c5 heapam: Add batch mode mvcc check and use it in page mode
There are two reasons for doing so:

1) It is generally faster to perform checks in a batched fashion and making
   sequential scans faster is nice.

2) We would like to stop setting hint bits while pages are being written
   out. The necessary locking becomes visible for page mode scans, if done for
   every tuple. With batching, the overhead can be amortized to only happen
   once per page.

There are substantial further optimization opportunities along these
lines:

- Right now HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCCBatch() simply uses the single-tuple
  HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC(), relying on the compiler to inline it. We could
  instead write an explicitly optimized version that avoids repeated xid
  tests.

- Introduce batched version of the serializability test

- Introduce batched version of HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum

852558b9ec heapam: Use exclusive lock on old page in CLUSTER
To be able to guarantee that we can set the hint bit, acquire an exclusive
lock on the old buffer. This is required as a future commit will only allow
hint bits to be set with a new lock level, which is acquired as-needed in a
non-blocking fashion.

We need the hint bits, set in heapam_relation_copy_for_cluster() ->
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum(), to be set, as otherwise reform_and_rewrite_tuple()
-> rewrite_heap_tuple() will get confused. Specifically, rewrite_heap_tuple()
checks for HEAP_XMAX_INVALID in the old tuple to determine whether to check
the old-to-new mapping hash table.

It'd be better if we somehow could avoid setting hint bits on the old page. A
common reason to use VACUUM FULL is very bloated tables - rewriting most of
the old table during VACUUM FULL doesn't exactly help.

45f658dacb freespace: Don't modify page without any lock
Before this commit fsm_vacuum_page() modified the page without any lock on the
page. Historically that was kind of ok, as we didn't rely on the freespace to
really stay consistent and we did not have checksums. But these days pages are
checksummed and there are ways for FSM pages to be included in WAL records,
even if the FSM itself is still not WAL logged. If a FSM page ever were
modified while a WAL record referenced that page, we'd be in trouble, as the
WAL CRC could end up getting corrupted.

The reason to address this right now is a series of patches with the goal to
only allow modifications of pages with an appropriate lock level. Obviously
not having any lock is not appropriate :)

Stop including {brin,gin}_tuple.h in tuplesort.h
Doing this meant that those two headers, which are supposed to be
internal to their corresponding index AMs, were being included pretty
much universally, because tuplesort.h is included by execnodes.h which
is very widely used.  Stop that, and fix fallout.

We also change indexing.h to no longer include execnodes.h (tuptable.h
is sufficient), and relscan.h to no longer include buf.h (pointless
since c2fe139c20).

7a485bd641 pg_dump: Fix gathering of sequence information.
Since commit bd15b7db48, pg_dump uses pg_get_sequence_data() (née
pg_sequence_read_tuple()) to gather all sequence data in a single
query as opposed to a query per sequence.  Two related bugs have
been identified:

* If the user lacks appropriate privileges on the sequence, pg_dump
generates a setval() command with garbage values instead of
failing as expected.

* pg_dump can fail due to a concurrently dropped sequence, even if
the dropped sequence's data isn't part of the dump.

This commit fixes the above issues by 1) teaching
pg_get_sequence_data() to return nulls instead of erroring for a
missing sequence and 2) teaching pg_dump to fail if it tries to
dump the data of a sequence for which pg_get_sequence_data()
returned nulls.  Note that pg_dump may still fail due to a
concurrently dropped sequence, but it should now only do so when
the sequence data is part of the dump.  This matches the behavior
before commit bd15b7db48.

When creating a partition for a RANGE partitioned table, the reporting
of errors relating to converting the specified range values into

This was caused by the code not correctly incrementing the index that

b352d3d80b Mark GiST inet_ops as opcdefault, and deal with ensuing fallout.
This patch completes the transition to making inet_ops be default for
inet/cidr columns, rather than btree_gist's opclasses.  Once we do
that, though, pg_upgrade has a big problem.  A dump from an older
version will see btree_gist's opclasses as being default, so it will
not mention the opclass explicitly in CREATE INDEX commands, which
would cause the restore to create the indexes using inet_ops.  Since
that's not compatible with what's actually in the files, havoc would
ensue.

This isn't readily fixable, because the CREATE INDEX command strings
are built by the older server's pg_get_indexdef() function; pg_dump
hasn't nearly enough knowledge to modify those strings successfully.
Even if we cared to put in the work to make that happen in pg_dump,
it would be counterproductive because the end goal here is to get
people off of these opclasses.  Allowing such indexes to persist
through pg_upgrade wouldn't advance that goal.

Therefore, this patch just adds code to pg_upgrade to detect indexes
that would be problematic and refuse to upgrade.

There's another issue too: even without any indexes to worry about,
pg_dump in binary-upgrade mode will reproduce the "CREATE OPERATOR
CLASS ... DEFAULT" commands for btree_gist's opclasses, and those
will fail because now we have a built-in opclass that provides a
conflicting default.  We could ask users to drop the btree_gist
extension altogether before upgrading, but that would carry very
severe penalties.  It would affect perfectly-valid indexes for other
data types, and it would drop operators that might be relied on in
views or other database objects.  Instead, put a hack in DefineOpClass
to ignore the DEFAULT clauses for these opclasses when in
binary-upgrade mode.  This will result in installing a version of
btree_gist that isn't quite the version it claims to be, but that can
be fixed by issuing ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE afterwards.

Since we don't apply that hack when not in binary-upgrade mode,
it is now impossible to install any version of btree_gist
less than 1.9 via CREATE EXTENSION.

b139bd3b6e Add data type oid8, 64-bit unsigned identifier
This new identifier type provides support for 64-bit unsigned values,
to be used in catalogs, like OIDs.  An advantage of a new data type is
that it becomes easier to grep for it in the code when assigning this
type to a catalog attribute, linking it to dedicated APIs and internal
structures.

The following operators are added in this commit, with dedicated tests:
- Casts with integer types and OID.
- btree and hash operators
- min/max functions.
- C type with related macros and defines, named around "Oid8".

This has been mentioned as useful on its own on the thread to add
support for 64-bit TOAST values, so as it becomes possible to attach
this data type to the TOAST code and catalog definitions.  However, as
this concept can apply to many more areas, it is implemented as its own
independent change.  This is based on a discussion with Andres Freund
and Tom Lane.

75609fded3 Fix buggy interaction between array subscripts and subplan params
In a7f107df2 I changed subplan param evaluation to happen within the
containing expression. As part of that, ExecInitSubPlanExpr() was changed to
evaluate parameters via a new EEOP_PARAM_SET expression step. These parameters
were temporarily stored into ExprState->resvalue/resnull, with some reasoning
why that would be fine. Unfortunately, that analysis was wrong -
ExecInitSubscriptionRef() evaluates the input array into "resv"/"resnull",
which will often point to ExprState->resvalue/resnull. This means that the
EEOP_PARAM_SET, if inside an array subscript, would overwrite the input array
to array subscript.

The fix is fairly simple - instead of evaluating into
ExprState->resvalue/resnull, store the temporary result of the subplan in the
subplan's return value.

f1e251be80 Allow bgworkers to be terminated for database-related commands
Background workers gain a new flag, called BGWORKER_INTERRUPTIBLE, that
offers the possibility to terminate the workers when these are connected
to a database that is involved in one of the following commands:
ALTER DATABASE RENAME TO
ALTER DATABASE SET TABLESPACE
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE

This is useful to give background workers the same behavior as backends
and autovacuum workers, which are stopped when these commands are
executed.  The default behavior, that exists since 9.3, is still to
never terminate bgworkers connected to the database involved in any of
these commands.  The new flag has to be set to terminate the workers.

A couple of tests are added to worker_spi to track the commands that
impact the termination of the workers.  There is a test case for a
non-interruptible worker, additionally, that relies on an injection
point to make the wait time in CountOtherDBBackends() reduced from 5s to
0.3s for faster test runs.  The tests rely on the contents of the server
logs to check if a worker has been started or terminated:
- LOG generated by worker_spi_main() at startup, once connection to
database is done.
- FATAL in bgworker_die() when terminated.
A couple of tests run in the CI have showed that this method is stable
enough.  The safe_psql() calls that scan pg_stat_activity could be
replaced with some poll_query_until() for more stability, if the current
method proves to be an issue in the buildfarm.

6ca8506ea5 Fix issue with EVENT TRIGGERS and ALTER PUBLICATION
When processing the "publish" options of an ALTER PUBLICATION command,
we call SplitIdentifierString() to split the options into a List of
strings.  Since SplitIdentifierString() modifies the delimiter
character and puts NULs in their place, this would overwrite the memory
of the AlterPublicationStmt.  Later in AlterPublicationOptions(), the
modified AlterPublicationStmt is copied for event triggers, which would
result in the event trigger only seeing the first "publish" option
rather than all options that were specified in the command.

To fix this, make a copy of the string before passing to
SplitIdentifierString().

Here we also adjust a similar case in the pgoutput plugin.  There's no
known issues caused by SplitIdentifierString() here, so this is being
done out of paranoia.

Thanks to Henson Choi for putting together an example case showing the

d926462d81 Honor GUC settings specified in CREATE SUBSCRIPTION CONNECTION.
Prior to v15, GUC settings supplied in the CONNECTION clause of
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION were correctly passed through to
the publisher's walsender. For example:

        CREATE SUBSCRIPTION mysub
            CONNECTION 'options=''-c wal_sender_timeout=1000'''
            PUBLICATION ...

would cause wal_sender_timeout to take effect on the publisher's walsender.

However, commit f3d4019da5 changed the way logical replication
connections are established, forcing the publisher's relevant
GUC settings (datestyle, intervalstyle, extra_float_digits) to
override those provided in the CONNECTION string. As a result,
from v15 through v18, GUC settings in the CONNECTION string were
always ignored.

This regression prevented per-connection tuning of logical replication.
For example, using a shorter timeout for walsender connecting
to a nearby subscriber and a longer one for walsender connecting
to a remote subscriber.

This commit restores the intended behavior by ensuring that
GUC settings in the CONNECTION string are again passed through
and applied by the walsender, allowing per-connection configuration.

Backpatch to v15, where the regression was introduced.

7dc95cc3b9 Update to latest Snowball sources.
It's been almost a year since we last did this, and upstream has
been busy.  They've added stemmers for Polish and Esperanto,
and also deprecated their old Dutch stemmer in favor of the
Kraaij-Pohlmann algorithm.  (The "dutch" stemmer is now the
latter, and "dutch_porter" is the old algorithm.)

Upstream also decided to rename their internal header "header.h"
to something less generic: "snowball_runtime.h".  Seems like a good
thing, but it complicates this patch a bit because we were relying on
interposing our own version of "header.h" to control system header
inclusion order.  (We're partially failing at that now, because now the
generated stemmer files include <stddef.h> before snowball_runtime.h.
I think that'll be okay, but if the buildfarm complains then we'll
have to do more-extensive editing of the generated files.)

I realized that we weren't documenting the available stemmers in
any user-visible place, except indirectly through sample \dFd output.
That's incomplete because we only provide built-in dictionaries for
the recommended stemmers for each language, not alternative stemmers
such as dutch_porter.  So I added a list to the documentation.

I did not do anything with the stopword lists.  If those are still
available from snowballstem.org, they are mighty well hidden.

49a181b5d6 Add the MODE option to the WAIT FOR LSN command
This commit extends the WAIT FOR LSN command with an optional MODE option in
the WITH clause that specifies which LSN type to wait for:

  WAIT FOR LSN '<lsn>' [WITH (MODE '<mode>', ...)]

where mode can be:
 - 'standby_replay' (default): Wait for WAL to be replayed to the specified
   LSN,
 - 'standby_write': Wait for WAL to be written (received) to the specified
   LSN,
 - 'standby_flush': Wait for WAL to be flushed to disk at the specified LSN,
 - 'primary_flush': Wait for WAL to be flushed to disk on the primary server.

The default mode is 'standby_replay', matching the original behavior when MODE
is not specified. This follows the pattern used by COPY and EXPLAIN
commands, where options are specified as string values in the WITH clause.

Modes are explicitly named to distinguish between primary and standby
operations:
- Standby modes ('standby_replay', 'standby_write', 'standby_flush') can only
  be used during recovery (on a standby server),
- Primary mode ('primary_flush') can only be used on a primary server.

The 'standby_write' and 'standby_flush' modes are useful for scenarios where
applications need to ensure WAL has been received or persisted on the standby
without necessarily waiting for replay to complete. The 'primary_flush' mode
allows waiting for WAL to be flushed on the primary server.

This commit also includes includes:
- Documentation updates for the new syntax and mode descriptions,
- Test coverage for all four modes, including error cases and concurrent
  waiters,
- Wakeup logic in walreceiver for standby write/flush waiters,
- Wakeup logic in WAL writer for primary flush waiters.

85d5bd308b Fix macro name for io_uring_queue_init_mem check.
Commit f54af9f267 added a check for
io_uring_queue_init_mem(). However, it used the macro name
HAVE_LIBURING_QUEUE_INIT_MEM in both meson.build and the C code, while
the Autotools build script defined HAVE_IO_URING_QUEUE_INIT_MEM. As a
result, the optimization was never enabled in builds configured with
Autotools, as the C code checked for the wrong macro name.

This commit changes the macro name to HAVE_IO_URING_QUEUE_INIT_MEM in
meson.build and the C code. This matches the actual function
name (io_uring_queue_init_mem), following the standard HAVE_<FUNCTION>
convention.

bc6374cd76 Change IndexAmRoutines to be statically-allocated structs.
Up to now, index amhandlers were expected to produce a new, palloc'd
struct on each call.  That requires palloc/pfree overhead, and creates
a risk of memory leaks if the caller fails to pfree, and the time
taken to fill such a large structure isn't nil.  Moreover, we were
storing these things in the relcache, eating several hundred bytes for
each cached index.  There is not anything in these structs that needs
to vary at runtime, so let's change the definition so that an
amhandler can return a pointer to a "static const" struct of which
there's only one copy per index AM.  Mark all the core code's
IndexAmRoutine pointers const so that we catch anyplace that might
still try to change or pfree one.

(This is similar to the way we were already handling TableAmRoutine
structs.  This commit does fix one comment that was infelicitously
copied-and-pasted into tableamapi.c.)

This commit needs to be called out in the v19 release notes as an API
change for extension index AMs.  An un-updated AM will still work
(as of now, anyway) but it risks memory leaks and will be slower than
necessary.

2a5225b99d Fix a race condition in updating procArray->replication_slot_xmin.
Previously, ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() computed the oldest
xmin across all slots without holding ProcArrayLock (when
already_locked is false), acquiring the lock just before updating the
replication slot xmin.

This could lead to a race condition: if a backend created a new slot
and updates the global replication slot xmin, another backend
concurrently running ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() could
overwrite that update with an invalid or stale value. This happens
because the concurrent backend might have computed the aggregate xmin
before the new slot was accounted for, but applied the update after
the new slot had already updated the global value.

In the reported failure, a walsender for an apply worker computed
InvalidTransactionId as the oldest xmin and overwrote a valid
replication slot xmin value computed by a walsender for a tablesync
worker. Consequently, the tablesync worker computed a transaction ID
via GetOldestSafeDecodingTransactionId() effectively without
considering the replication slot xmin. This led to the error "cannot
build an initial slot snapshot as oldest safe xid %u follows
snapshot's xmin %u", which was an assertion failure prior to commit
240e0dbacd.

To fix this, we acquire ReplicationSlotControlLock in exclusive mode
during slot creation to perform the initial update of the slot
xmin. In ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin(), we hold
ReplicationSlotControlLock in shared mode until the global slot xmin
is updated in ProcArraySetReplicationSlotXmin(). This prevents
concurrent computations and updates of the global xmin by other
backends during the initial slot xmin update process, while still
permitting concurrent calls to ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin().

Backpatch to all supported versions.

1a28b4b455 jit: Drop redundant LLVM configure probes.
We currently require LLVM 14, so these probes for LLVM 9 functions
always succeeded.  Even when the features aren't enabled in an LLVM
build, dummy functions are defined (a problem for a later commit).

The whole PGAC_CHECK_LLVM_FUNCTIONS macro and Meson equivalent are
removed, because we switched to testing LLVM_VERSION_MAJOR at compile
time in subsequent work and these were the last holdouts.  That suits
the nature of LLVM API evolution better, and also allows for strictly
mechanical pruning in future commits like 820b5af7 and 972c2cd2.  They
advanced the minimum LLVM version but failed to spot these.

97b101776c Add pg_get_multixact_stats()
This new function exposes at SQL level some information related to
multixacts, not available until now.  This data is useful for monitoring
purposes, especially for workloads that make a heavy use of multixacts:
- num_mxids, number of MultiXact IDs in use.
- num_members, number of member entries in use.
- members_size, bytes used by num_members in pg_multixact/members/.
- oldest_multixact: oldest MultiXact still needed.

This patch has been originally proposed when MultiXactOffset was still
32 bits, to monitor wraparound.  This part is not relevant anymore since
bd8d9c9bdf that has widen MultiXactOffset to 64 bits.  The monitoring
of disk space usage for the members is still relevant.

Some tests are added to check this function, in the shape of one
isolation test with concurrent transactions that take a ROW SHARE lock,
and some SQL tests for pg_read_all_stats.  Some documentation is added
to explain some patterns that can come from the information provided by
the function.

This routine returned a number of members as a MultiXactOffset,
calculated based on the difference between the next-to-be-assigned

offset but a number.

This type confusion comes from the original implementation of

7da9d8f2db jit: Remove -Wno-deprecated-declarations in 18+.
REL_18_STABLE and master have commit ee485912, so they always use the
newer LLVM opaque pointer functions.  Drop -Wno-deprecated-declarations
(commit a56e7b660) for code under jit/llvm in those branches, to catch
any new deprecation warnings that arrive in future version of LLVM.

Older branches continued to use functions marked deprecated in LLVM 14
and 15 (ie switched to the newer functions only for LLVM 16+), as a
precaution against unforeseen compatibility problems with bitcode
already shipped.  In those branches, the comment about warning
suppression is updated to explain that situation better.  In theory we
could suppress warnings only for LLVM 14 and 15 specifically, but that
isn't done here.

bd3e3e9e56 Ensure sanity of hash-join costing when there are no MCV statistics.
estimate_hash_bucket_stats is defined to return zero to *mcv_freq if
it cannot obtain a value for the frequency of the most common value.
Its sole caller final_cost_hashjoin ignored this provision and would
blindly believe the zero value, resulting in computing zero for the
largest bucket size.  In consequence, the safety check that intended
to prevent the largest bucket from exceeding get_hash_memory_limit()
was ineffective, allowing very silly plans to be chosen if statistics
were missing.

After fixing final_cost_hashjoin to disregard zero results for
mcv_freq, a second problem appeared: some cases that should use hash
joins failed to.  This is because estimate_hash_bucket_stats was
unaware of the fact that ANALYZE won't store MCV statistics if it
doesn't find any multiply-occurring values.  Thus the lack of an MCV
stats entry doesn't necessarily mean that we know nothing; we may
well know that the column is unique.  The former coding returned zero
for *mcv_freq in this case, which was pretty close to correct, but now
final_cost_hashjoin doesn't believe it and disables the hash join.
So check to see if there is a HISTOGRAM stats entry; if so, ANALYZE
has in fact run for this column and must have found it to be unique.
In that case report the MCV frequency as 1 / rows, instead of claiming
ignorance.

Reporting a more accurate *mcv_freq in this case can also affect the
bucket-size skew adjustment further down in estimate_hash_bucket_stats,
causing hash-join cost estimates to change slightly.  This affects
some plan choices in the core regression tests.  The first diff in
join.out corresponds to a case where we have no stats and should not
risk a hash join, but the remaining changes are caused by producing
a better bucket-size estimate for unique join columns.  Those are all
harmless changes so far as I can tell.

The existing behavior was introduced in commit 4867d7f62 in v11.
It appears from the commit log that disabling the bucket-size safety
check in the absence of statistics was intentional; but we've now seen
a case where the ensuing behavior is bad enough to make that seem like
a poor decision.  In any case the lack of other problems with that
safety check after several years helps to justify enforcing it more
strictly.  However, we won't risk back-patching this, in case any
applications are depending on the existing behavior.

559f9e90db Ignore PlaceHolderVars when looking up statistics
When looking up statistical data about an expression, we failed to
look through PlaceHolderVar nodes, treating them as opaque.  This
could prevent us from matching an expression to base columns, index
expressions, or extended statistics, as examine_variable() relies on
strict structural matching.

As a result, queries involving PlaceHolderVar nodes often fell back to
default selectivity estimates, potentially leading to poor plan
choices.

This patch updates examine_variable() to strip PlaceHolderVars before
analysis.  This is safe during estimation because PlaceHolderVars are
transparent for the purpose of statistics lookup: they do not alter
the value distribution of the underlying expression.

To minimize performance overhead on this hot path, a lightweight
walker first checks for the presence of PlaceHolderVars.  The more
expensive mutator is invoked only when necessary.

There is one ensuing plan change in the regression tests, which is
expected and demonstrates the fix: the rowcount estimate becomes much
more accurate with this patch.

Back-patch to v18.  Although this issue exists before that, changes in
this version made it common enough to notice.  Given the lack of field
reports for older versions, I am not back-patching further.

ad66f705fa Strip PlaceHolderVars from index operands
When pulling up a subquery, we may need to wrap its targetlist items
in PlaceHolderVars to enforce separate identity or as a result of
outer joins.  However, this causes any upper-level WHERE clauses
referencing these outputs to contain PlaceHolderVars, which prevents
indxpath.c from recognizing that they could be matched to index
columns or index expressions, potentially affecting the planner's
ability to use indexes.

To fix, explicitly strip PlaceHolderVars from index operands.  A
PlaceHolderVar appearing in a relation-scan-level expression is
effectively a no-op.  Nevertheless, to play it safe, we strip only
PlaceHolderVars that are not marked nullable.

The stripping is performed recursively to handle cases where
PlaceHolderVars are nested or interleaved with other node types.  To
minimize performance impact, we first use a lightweight walker to
check for the presence of strippable PlaceHolderVars.  The expensive
mutator is invoked only if a candidate is found, avoiding unnecessary
memory allocation and tree copying in the common case where no
PlaceHolderVars are present.

environment).  These are safe currently because capped by

of available bytes.

325808cac9 Fix planner error with SRFs and grouping sets
If there are any SRFs in a PathTarget, we must separate it into
SRF-computing and SRF-free targets.  This is because the executor can
only handle SRFs that appear at the top level of the targetlist of a
ProjectSet plan node.

If we find a subexpression that matches an expression already computed
in the previous plan level, we should treat it like a Var and should
not split it again.  setrefs.c will later replace the expression with
a Var referencing the subplan output.

However, when processing the grouping target for grouping sets, the
planner can fail to recognize that an expression is already computed
in the scan/join phase.  The root cause is a mismatch in the
nullingrels bits.  Expressions in the grouping target carry the
grouping nulling bit in their nullingrels to indicate that they can be
nulled by the grouping step.  However, the corresponding expressions
in the scan/join target do not have these bits.

As a result, the exact match check in list_member() fails, leading the
planner to incorrectly believe that the expression needs to be
re-evaluated from its arguments, which are often not available in the
subplan.  This can lead to planner errors such as "variable not found
in subplan target list".

To fix, ignore the grouping nulling bit when checking whether an
expression from the grouping target is available in the pre-grouping
input target.  This aligns with the matching logic in setrefs.c.

Backpatch to v18, where this issue was introduced.

CREATE SUBSCRIPTION with copy_data=true and origin='none' previously
failed when the publisher was running a version earlier than PostgreSQL 19,
even though this combination should be supported.

The failure occurred because the command issued a query calling
pg_get_publication_sequences function on the publisher. That function
does not exist before PG19 and the query is only needed for logical
replication sequence synchronization, which is supported starting in PG19.

This commit fixes this issue by skipping that query when the

c8d2f68cc8 Teach expr_is_nonnullable() to handle more expression types
Currently, the function expr_is_nonnullable() checks only Const and
Var expressions to determine if an expression is non-nullable.  This
patch extends the detection logic to handle more expression types.

This can enable several downstream optimizations, such as reducing
NullTest quals to constant truth values (e.g., "COALESCE(var, 1) IS
NULL" becomes FALSE) and converting "COUNT(expr)" to the more
efficient "COUNT(*)" when the expression is proven non-nullable.

This breaks a test case in test_predtest.sql, since we now simplify
"ARRAY[] IS NULL" to constant FALSE, preventing it from weakly
refuting a strict ScalarArrayOpExpr ("x = any(ARRAY[])").  To ensure
the refutation logic is still exercised as intended, wrap the array
argument in opaque_array().

cb7b7ec7a1 Optimize ROW(...) IS [NOT] NULL using non-nullable fields
We break ROW(...) IS [NOT] NULL into separate tests on its component
fields.  During this breakdown, we can improve efficiency by utilizing
expr_is_nonnullable() to detect fields that are provably non-nullable.

If a component field is proven non-nullable, it affects the outcome
based on the test type.  For an IS NULL test, a single non-nullable
field refutes the whole NullTest, reducing it to constant FALSE.  For
an IS NOT NULL test, the check for that specific field is guaranteed
to succeed, so we can discard it from the list of component tests.

This extends the existing optimization logic, which previously only
handled Const fields, to support any expression that can be proven
non-nullable.

In passing, update the existing constant folding of NullTests to use
expr_is_nonnullable() instead of var_is_nonnullable(), enabling it to
benefit from future improvements to that function.

10c4fe074a Simplify COALESCE expressions using non-nullable arguments
The COALESCE function returns the first of its arguments that is not
null.  When an argument is proven non-null, if it is the first
non-null-constant argument, the entire COALESCE expression can be
replaced by that argument.  If it is a subsequent argument, all
following arguments can be dropped, since they will never be reached.

Currently, we perform this simplification only for Const arguments.
This patch extends the simplification to support any expression that
can be proven non-nullable.

This can help avoid the overhead of evaluating unreachable arguments.
It can also lead to better plans when the first argument is proven
non-nullable and replaces the expression, as the planner no longer has
to treat the expression as non-strict, and can also leverage index
scans on the resulting expression.

There is an ensuing plan change in generated_virtual.out, and we have
to modify the test to ensure that it continues to test what it is
intended to.

1528b0d899 Don't advance origin during apply failure.
The logical replication parallel apply worker could incorrectly advance
the origin progress during an error or failed apply. This behavior risks
transaction loss because such transactions will not be resent by the
server.

Commit 3f28b2fcac addressed a similar issue for both the apply worker and
the table sync worker by registering a before_shmem_exit callback to reset
origin information. This prevents the worker from advancing the origin
during transaction abortion on shutdown. This patch applies the same fix
to the parallel apply worker, ensuring consistent behavior across all
worker types.

As with 3f28b2fcac, we are backpatching through version 16, since parallel
apply mode was introduced there and the issue only occurs when changes are
applied before the transaction end record (COMMIT or ABORT) is received.

67c20979ce Toggle logical decoding dynamically based on logical slot presence.
Previously logical decoding required wal_level to be set to 'logical'
at server start. This meant that users had to incur the overhead of
logical-level WAL logging even when no logical replication slots were
in use.

This commit adds functionality to automatically control logical
decoding availability based on logical replication slot presence. The
newly introduced module logicalctl.c allows logical decoding to be
dynamically activated when needed when wal_level is set to
'replica'.

When the first logical replication slot is created, the system
automatically increases the effective WAL level to maintain
logical-level WAL records. Conversely, after the last logical slot is
dropped or invalidated, it decreases back to 'replica' WAL level.

While activation occurs synchronously right after creating the first
logical slot, deactivation happens asynchronously through the
checkpointer process. This design avoids a race condition at the end
of recovery; a concurrent deactivation could happen while the startup
process enables logical decoding at the end of recovery, but WAL
writes are still not permitted until recovery fully completes. The
checkpointer will handle it after recovery is done. Asynchronous
deactivation also avoids excessive toggling of the logical decoding
status in workloads that repeatedly create and drop a single logical
slot. On the other hand, this lazy approach can delay changes to
effective_wal_level and the disabling logical decoding, especially
when the checkpointer is busy with other tasks. We chose this lazy
approach in all deactivation paths to keep the implementation simple,
even though laziness is strictly required only for end-of-recovery
cases. Future work might address this limitation either by using a
dedicated worker instead of the checkpointer, or by implementing
synchronous waiting during slot drops if workloads are significantly
affected by the lazy deactivation of logical decoding.

The effective WAL level, determined internally by XLogLogicalInfo, is
allowed to change within a transaction until an XID is assigned. Once
an XID is assigned, the value becomes fixed for the remainder of the
transaction. This behavior ensures that the logging mode remains
consistent within a writing transaction, similar to the behavior of
GUC parameters.

A new read-only GUC parameter effective_wal_level is introduced to
monitor the actual WAL level in effect. This parameter reflects the
current operational WAL level, which may differ from the configured
wal_level setting.

Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION as it adds a new field to CheckPoint struct.

8e0d32a4a1 Fix orphaned origin in shared memory after DROP SUBSCRIPTION
Since ce0fdbfe97, a replication slot and an origin are created by each
tablesync worker, whose information is stored in both a catalog and
shared memory (once the origin is set up in the latter case).  The
transaction where the origin is created is the same as the one that runs
the initial COPY, with the catalog state of the origin becoming visible
for other sessions only once the COPY transaction has committed.  The
catalog state is coupled with a state in shared memory, initialized at
the same time as the origin created in the catalogs.  Note that the
transaction doing the initial data sync can take a long time, time that
depends on the amount of data to transfer from a publication node to its
subscriber node.

Now, when a DROP SUBSCRIPTION is executed, all its workers are stopped
with the origins removed.  The removal of each origin relies on a
catalog lookup.  A worker still running the initial COPY would fail its
transaction, with the catalog state of the origin rolled back while the
shared memory state remains around.  The session running the DROP
SUBSCRIPTION should be in charge of cleaning up the catalog and the
shared memory state, but as there is no data in the catalogs the shared
memory state is not removed.  This issue would leave orphaned origin
data in shared memory, leading to a confusing state as it would still
show up in pg_replication_origin_status.  Note that this shared memory
data is sticky, being flushed on disk in replorigin_checkpoint at
checkpoint.  This prevents other origins from reusing a slot position
in the shared memory data.

To address this problem, the commit moves the creation of the origin at
the end of the transaction that precedes the one executing the initial

is more consistent with the apply worker that creates an origin in a

e5f3839af6 Switch buffile.c/h to use pgoff_t instead of off_t
off_t was previously used for offsets, which is 4 bytes on Windows,
hence limiting the backend code to a hard limit for files longer than
2GB.  This leads to some simplification in these files, removing some
casts based on long, also 4 bytes on Windows.

This commit removes one comment introduced in db3c4c3a2d, not relevant
anymore as pgoff_t is a safe 8-byte alternative on Windows.

This change is surprisingly not invasive, as the callers of
BufFileTell(), BufFileSeek() and BufFileTruncateFileSet() (worker.c,
tuplestore.c, etc.) track offsets in local structures that just to
switch from off_t to pgoff_t for the most part.

The file is still relying on a maximum file size of
MAX_PHYSICAL_FILESIZE (1GB).  This change allows the code to make this
maximum potentially larger in the future, or larger on a per-demand
basis.

fab5cd3dd1 Remove obsolete name_ops index-only scan comments.
nbtree index-only scans of an index that uses btree/name_ops as one of
its index column's input opclasses are no longer at any risk of reading
past the end of currTuples.  We're no longer reliant on such scans being
able to at least read from the start of markTuples storage (which uses
space from the same allocation as currTuples) to avoid a segfault:
StoreIndexTuple (from nodeIndexonlyscan.c) won't actually read past the
end of a cstring datum from a name_ops index.  In other words, we
already have the "special-case treatment for name_ops" that the removed
comment supposed we could avoid by relying on markTuples in this way.

Oversight in commit a63224be49, which added special case handling of
name_ops cstrings to StoreIndexTuple, but missed these comments.

09ae2c8bac bufmgr: Optimize & harmonize LockBufHdr(), LWLockWaitListLock()
The main optimization is for LockBufHdr() to delay initializing
SpinDelayStatus, similar to what LWLockWaitListLock already did. The
initialization is sufficiently expensive & buffer header lock acquisitions are
sufficiently frequent, to make it worthwhile to instead have a fastpath (via a
likely() branch) that does not initialize the SpinDelayStatus.

While LWLockWaitListLock() already the aforementioned optimization, it did not
use likely(), and inspection of the assembly shows that this indeed leads to
worse code generation (also observed in a microbenchmark). Fix that by adding
the likely().

While the LockBufHdr() improvement is a small gain on its own, it mainly is
aimed at preventing a regression after a future commit, which requires
additional locking to set hint bits.

While touching both, also make the comments more similar to each other.

b3ccb0a2cb Add guard to prevent recursive memory context logging.
Previously, if memory context logging was triggered repeatedly and
rapidly while a previous request was still being processed, it could
result in recursive calls to ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt().
This could lead to infinite recursion and potentially crash the process.

This commit adds a guard to prevent such recursion.
If ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt() is already in progress and
logging memory contexts, subsequent calls will exit immediately,
avoiding unintended recursive calls.

While this scenario is unlikely in practice, it's not impossible.
This change adds a safety check to prevent such failures.

Back-patch to v14, where memory context logging was introduced.

holding a locale_t object when required.

We should consider a better solution in the future, such as decoding

avoid the global LC_CTYPE dependency.

87b2968df0 downcase_identifier(): use method table from locale provider.
Previously, libc's tolower() was always used for lowercasing
identifiers, regardless of the database locale (though only characters
beyond 127 in single-byte encodings were affected). Refactor to allow
each provider to supply its own implementation of identifier
downcasing.

For historical compatibility, when using a single-byte encoding, ICU
still relies on tolower().

One minor behavior change is that, before the database default locale
is initialized, it uses ASCII semantics to downcase the
identifiers. Previously, it would use the postmaster's LC_CTYPE
setting from the environment. While that could have some effect during
GUC processing, for example, it would have been fragile to rely on the
environment setting anyway. (Also, it only matters when the encoding
is single-byte.)

We already do this in CreateParallelContext, InitializeParallelDSM, and
LaunchParallelWorkers. I suspect the reason why the matching logic was
omitted from ReinitializeParallelDSM is that I failed to realize that
any memory allocation was happening here -- but shm_mq_attach does
allocate, which could result in a shm_mq_handle being allocated in a
shorter-lived context than the ParallelContext which points to it.

That could result in a crash if the shorter-lived context is freed
before the parallel context is destroyed. As far as I am currently
aware, there is no way to reach a crash using only code that is
present in core PostgreSQL, but extensions could potentially trip
over this. Fixing this in the back-branches appears low-risk, so
back-patch to all supported versions.

15f68cebdc Add TAP test to check recovery when redo LSN is missing
This commit provides test coverage for dc7c77f825, where the redo
record and the checkpoint record finish on different WAL segments with
the start of recovery able to detect that the redo record is missing.

This test uses a wait injection point done in the critical section of a
checkpoint, method that requires not one but actually two wait injection
points to avoid any memory allocations within the critical section of
the checkpoint:
- Checkpoint run with a background psql.
- One first wait point is run by the checkpointer before the critical
section, allocating the shared memory required by the DSM registry for
the wait machinery in the library injection_points.
- First point is woken up.
- Second wait point is loaded before the critical section, allocating
the memory to build the path to the library loaded, then run in the
critical section once the checkpoint redo record has been logged.
- WAL segment is switched while waiting on the second point.
- Checkpoint completes.
- Stop cluster with immediate mode.
- The segment that includes the redo record is removed.
- Start, recovery fails as the redo record cannot be found.

The error message introduced in dc7c77f825 is now reduced to a FATAL,
meaning that the information is still provided while being able to use a
test for it.  Nitin has provided a basic version of the test, that I
have enhanced to make it portable with two points.  Without
dc7c77f825, the cluster crashes in this test, not on a PANIC but due
to the pointer dereference at the beginning of recovery, failure
mentioned in the other commit.

dc7c77f825 Fail recovery when missing redo checkpoint record without backup_label
This commit adds an extra check at the beginning of recovery to ensure
that the redo record of a checkpoint exists before attempting WAL
replay, logging a PANIC if the redo record referenced by the checkpoint
record could not be found.  This is the same level of failure as when a
checkpoint record is missing.  This check is added when a cluster is
started without a backup_label, after retrieving its checkpoint record.
The redo LSN used for the check is retrieved from the checkpoint record
successfully read.

In the case where a backup_label exists, the startup process already
fails if the redo record cannot be found after reading a checkpoint
record at the beginning of recovery.

Previously, the presence of the redo record was not checked.  If the
redo and checkpoint records were located on different WAL segments, it
would be possible to miss a entire range of WAL records that should have
been replayed but were just ignored.  The consequences of missing the
redo record depend on the version dealt with, these becoming worse the
older the version used:
- On HEAD, v18 and v17, recovery fails with a pointer dereference at the
beginning of the redo loop, as the redo record is expected but cannot be
found.  These versions are good students, because we detect a failure
before doing anything, even if the failure is misleading in the shape of
a segmentation fault, giving no information that the redo record is
missing.
- In v16 and v15, problems show at the end of recovery within
FinishWalRecovery(), the startup process using a buggy LSN to decide
from where to start writing WAL.  The cluster gets corrupted, still it
is noisy about it.
- v14 and older versions are worse: a cluster gets corrupted but it is
entirely silent about the matter.  The redo record missing causes the
startup process to skip entirely recovery, because a missing record is
the same as not redo being required at all.  This leads to data loss, as
everything is missed between the redo record and the checkpoint record.

Note that I have tested that down to 9.4, reproducing the issue with a
version of the author's reproducer slightly modified.  The code is wrong
since at least 9.2, but I did not look at the exact point of origin.

This problem has been found by debugging a cluster where the WAL segment
including the redo segment was missing due to an operator error, leading
to a crash, based on an investigation in v15.

Requesting archive recovery with the creation of a recovery.signal or
a standby.signal even without a backup_label would mitigate the issue:
if the record cannot be found in pg_wal/, the missing segment can be
retrieved with a restore_command when checking that the redo record
exists.  This was already the case without this commit, where recovery
would re-fetch the WAL segment that includes the redo record.  The check
introduced by this commit makes the segment to be retrieved earlier to
make sure that the redo record can be found.

On HEAD, the code will be slightly changed in a follow-up commit to not
rely on a PANIC, to include a test able to emulate the original problem.
This is a minimal backpatchable fix, kept separated for clarity.

Late-model gcc with -fsanitize=undefined enabled issues warnings
about uses of PageGetItemId() when it can't prove that the
offsetNumber is > 0.  The call sites where this happens are
checking that the offnum is <= PageGetMaxOffsetNumber(page), so
it seems reasonable to add an explicit check that offnum >= 1 too.

While at it, rearrange the code to be less contorted and avoid
duplicate checks on PageGetMaxOffsetNumber.  Maybe the compiler
would optimize away the duplicate logic or maybe not, but the
existing coding has little to recommend it anyway.

There are multiple instances of this identical coding pattern in
heapam.c and heapam_xlog.c.  Current gcc only complains about two
of them, but I fixed them all in the name of consistency.

Potentially this could be back-patched in the name of silencing
warnings; but I think enabling UBSAN is mainly something people
would do on HEAD, so for now it seems not worth the trouble.

check to the corresponding server code on master, and in backbranches,
the 'length' is passed to palloc which would fail with "invalid memory

invalid entries are tolerated by the upgrade code and which ones are

Coverity complained about 'length' in the upgrade code being

0d2d4a0ec3 Add retry logic to pg_sync_replication_slots().
Previously, pg_sync_replication_slots() would finish without synchronizing
slots that didn't meet requirements, rather than failing outright. This
could leave some failover slots unsynchronized if required catalog rows or
WAL segments were missing or at risk of removal, while the standby
continued removing needed data.

To address this, the function now waits for the primary slot to advance to
a position where all required data is available on the standby before
completing synchronization. It retries cyclically until all failover slots
that existed on the primary at the start of the call are synchronized.
Slots created after the function begins are not included. If the standby
is promoted during this wait, the function exits gracefully and the
temporary slots will be removed.

4ba012a8ed Allow cumulative statistics to read/write auxiliary data from/to disk
Cumulative stats kinds gain the capability to write additional per-entry
data when flushing the stats at shutdown, and read this data when
loading back the stats at startup.  This can be fit for example in the
case of variable-length data (like normalized query strings), so as it
becomes possible to link the shared memory stats entries to data that is
stored in a different area, like a DSA segment.

Three new optional callbacks are added to PgStat_KindInfo, available to
variable-numbered stats kinds:
* to_serialized_data: writes auxiliary data for an entry.
* from_serialized_data: reads auxiliary data for an entry.
* finish: performs actions after read/write/discard operations.  This is
invoked after processing all the entries of a kind, allowing extensions
to close file handles and clean up resources.

Stats kinds have the option to store this data in the existing pgstats
file, but can as well store it in one or more additional files whose
names can be built upon the entry keys.  The new serialized callbacks
are called once an entry key is read or written from the main stats
file.  A file descriptor to the main pgstats file is available in the
arguments of the callbacks.

58dad7f349 Update typedefs.list to match what the buildfarm currently reports.
The current list from the buildfarm includes quite a few typedef
names that it used to miss.  The reason is a bit obscure, but it
seems likely to have something to do with our recent increased
use of palloc_object and palloc_array.  In any case, this makes
the relevant struct declarations be much more nicely formatted,
so I'll take it.  Install the current list and re-run pgindent
to update affected code.

Syncing with the current list also removes some obsolete
typedef names and fixes some alphabetization errors.

30df61990c bufmgr: Add one-entry cache for private refcount
The private refcount entry for a buffer is often looked up repeatedly for the
same buffer, e.g. to pin and then unpin a buffer. Benchmarking shows that it's
worthwhile to have a one-entry cache for that case. With that cache in place,
it's worth splitting GetPrivateRefCountEntry() into a small inline
portion (for the cache hit case) and an out-of-line helper for the rest.

This is helpful for some workloads today, but becomes more important in an
upcoming patch that will utilize the private refcount infrastructure to also
store whether the buffer is currently locked, as that increases the rate of
lookups substantially.

the existing loop, iterating over an array of PrivateRefCountEntry, more

ef5f559b95 Fix jsonb_object_agg crash after eliminating null-valued pairs.
In commit b61aa76e4 I added an assumption in jsonb_object_agg_finalfn
that it'd be okay to apply uniqueifyJsonbObject repeatedly to a
JsonbValue.  I should have studied that code more closely first,
because in skip_nulls mode it removed leading nulls by changing the
"pairs" array start pointer.  This broke the data structure's
invariants in two ways: pairs no longer references a repalloc-able
chunk, and the distance from pairs to the end of its array is less
than parseState->size.  So any subsequent addition of more pairs is
at high risk of clobbering memory and/or causing repalloc to crash.
Unfortunately, adding more pairs is exactly what will happen when the
aggregate is being used as a window function.

Fix by rewriting uniqueifyJsonbObject to not do that.  The prior
coding had little to recommend it anyway.

87a350e1f2 Never store 0 as the nextMXact
Before this commit, when multixid wraparound happens,
MultiXactState->nextMXact goes to 0, which is invalid. All the readers
need to deal with that possibility and skip over the 0. That's
error-prone and we've missed it a few times in the past. This commit
changes the responsibility so that all the writers of
MultiXactState->nextMXact skip over the zero already, and readers can
trust that it's never 0.

We were already doing that for MultiXactState->oldestMultiXactId; none
of its writers would set it to 0. ReadMultiXactIdRange() was
nevertheless checking for that possibility. For clarity, remove that

Fix infer_arbiter_index for partitioned tables
The fix for concurrent index operations in bc32a12e0d started
considering indexes that are not yet marked indisvalid as arbiters for
INSERT ON CONFLICT.  For partitioned tables, this leads to including
indexes that may not exist in partitions, causing a trivially
reproducible "invalid arbiter index list" error to be thrown because of
failure to match the index.  To fix, it suffices to ignore !indisvalid
indexes on partitioned tables.  There should be no risk that the set of
indexes will change for concurrent transactions, because in order for
such an index to be marked valid, an ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION must
run which requires AccessExclusiveLock.

1362bc33e0 Enhance slot synchronization API to respect promotion signal.
Previously, during a promotion, only the slot synchronization worker was
signaled to shut down. The backend executing slot synchronization via the
pg_sync_replication_slots() SQL function was not signaled, allowing it to
complete its synchronization cycle before exiting.

An upcoming patch improves pg_sync_replication_slots() to wait until
replication slots are fully persisted before finishing. This behaviour
requires the backend to exit promptly if a promotion occurs.

This patch ensures that, during promotion, a signal is also sent to the
backend running pg_sync_replication_slots(), allowing it to be interrupted
and exit immediately.

bfb335df58 Return TIDs in desc order during backwards scans.
Always return TIDs in descending order when returning groups of TIDs
from an nbtree posting list tuple during nbtree backwards scans.  This
makes backwards scans tend to require fewer buffer hits, since the scan
is less likely to repeatedly pin and unpin the same heap page/buffer
(we'll get exactly as many buffer hits as we get with a similar forwards
scan case).

Commit 0d861bbb, which added nbtree deduplication, originally did things
this way to avoid interfering with _bt_killitems's approach to setting
LP_DEAD bits on posting list tuples.  _bt_killitems makes a soft
assumption that it can always iterate through posting lists in ascending
TID order, finding corresponding killItems[]/so->currPos.items[] entries
in that same order.  This worked out because of the prior _bt_readpage
backwards scan behavior.  If we just changed the backwards scan posting
list logic in _bt_readpage, without altering _bt_killitems itself, it
would break its soft assumption.

Avoid that problem by sorting the so->killedItems[] array at the start
of _bt_killitems.  That way the order that dead items are saved in from
btgettuple can't matter; so->killedItems[] will always be in the same
order as so->currPos.items[] in the end.  Since so->currPos.items[] is
now always in leaf page order, regardless of the scan direction used
within _bt_readpage, and since so->killedItems[] is always in that same
order, the _bt_killitems loop can continue to make a uniform assumption
about everything being in page order.  In fact, sorting like this makes
the previous soft assumption about item order into a hard invariant.

Also deduplicate the so->killedItems[] array after it is sorted.  That
way there's no risk of the _bt_killitems loop becoming confused by a
duplicate dead item/TID.  This was possible in cases that involved a
scrollable cursor that encountered the same dead TID more than once
(within the same leaf page/so->currPos context).  This doesn't come up
very much in practice, but it seems best to be as consistent as possible
about how and when _bt_killitems will LP_DEAD-mark index tuples.

These functions took a ResourceOwner argument, but only checked if it

Surely the intention was to use the passed-in resource owner. All
current callers passed CurrentResourceOwner or NULL, so this has no

f275afc997 Fix misleading comment in tuplesort.c
A comment in tuplesort.c was claiming that the code was defining
INITIAL_MEMTUPSIZE so that it *does not* exceed
ALLOCSET_SEPARATE_THRESHOLD, but the code actually ensures that we
purposefully *do* exceed ALLOCSET_SEPARATE_THRESHOLD for the initial
allocation of the tuples array, as per reasons detailed in the

Also, there's not much need to repeat the mention about

bd8d9c9bdf Widen MultiXactOffset to 64 bits
This eliminates MultiXactOffset wraparound and the 2^32 limit on the
total number of multixid members. Multixids are still limited to 2^31,
but this is a nice improvement because 'members' can grow much faster
than the number of multixids. On such systems, you can now run longer
before hitting hard limits or triggering anti-wraparound vacuums.

Not having to deal with MultiXactOffset wraparound also simplifies the
code and removes some gnarly corner cases.

We no longer need to perform emergency anti-wraparound freezing
because of running out of 'members' space, so the offset stop limit is
gone. But you might still not want 'members' to consume huge amounts
of disk space. For that reason, I kept the logic for lowering vacuum's
multixid freezing cutoff if a large amount of 'members' space is
used. The thresholds for that are roughly the same as the "safe" and
"danger" thresholds used before, 2 billion transactions and 4 billion
transactions. This keeps the behavior for the freeze cutoff roughly
the same as before. It might make sense to make this smarter or
configurable, now that the threshold is only needed to manage disk
usage, but that's left for the future.

Add code to pg_upgrade to convert multitransactions from the old to
the new format, rewriting the pg_multixact SLRU files. Because
pg_upgrade now rewrites the files, we can get rid of some hacks we had
put in place to deal with old bugs and upgraded clusters. Bump catalog
version for the pg_multixact/offsets format change.

f00484c170 Fix distinctness check for queries with grouping sets
query_is_distinct_for() is intended to determine whether a query never
returns duplicates of the specified columns.  For queries using
grouping sets, if there are no grouping expressions, the query may
contain one or more empty grouping sets.  The goal is to detect
whether there is exactly one empty grouping set, in which case the
query would return a single row and thus be distinct.

The previous logic in query_is_distinct_for() was incomplete because
the check was insufficiently thorough and could return false when it
could have returned true.  It failed to consider cases where the
DISTINCT clause is used on the GROUP BY, in which case duplicate empty
grouping sets are removed, leaving only one.  It also did not
correctly handle all possible structures of GroupingSet nodes that
represent a single empty grouping set.

To fix, add a check for the groupDistinct flag, and expand the query's
groupingSets tree into a flat list, then verify that the expanded list
contains only one element.

No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.

c925ad30b0 Fix const-simplification for index expressions and predicate
Similar to the issue with constraint and statistics expressions fixed
in 317c117d6, index expressions and predicate can also suffer from
incorrect reduction of NullTest clauses during const-simplification,
due to unfixed varnos and the use of a NULL root.  It has been
reported that this issue can cause the planner to fail to pick up a
partial index that it previously matched successfully.

Because we need to cache the const-simplified index expressions and
predicate in the relcache entry, we cannot fix the Vars before
applying eval_const_expressions.  To ensure proper reduction of
NullTest clauses, this patch runs eval_const_expressions a second time
-- after the Vars have been fixed and with a valid root.

It could be argued that the additional call to eval_const_expressions
might increase planning time, but I don't think that's a concern.  It
only runs when index expressions and predicate are present; it is
relatively cheap when run on small expression trees (which is
typically the case for index expressions and predicate), and it runs
on expressions that have already been const-simplified once, making
the second pass even cheaper.  In return, in cases like the one
reported, it allows the planner to match and use partial indexes,
which can lead to significant execution-time improvements.

04396eacd3 Fix LOCK_TIMEOUT handling in slotsync worker.
Previously, the slotsync worker relied on SIGINT for graceful shutdown
during promotion. However, SIGINT is also used by the LOCK_TIMEOUT handler
to cancel queries. Since the slotsync worker can lock catalog tables while
parsing libpq tuples, this overlap caused it to ignore LOCK_TIMEOUT
signals and potentially wait indefinitely on locks.

This patch replaces the slotsync worker's SIGINT handler with
StatementCancelHandler to correctly process query-cancel interrupts.
Additionally, the startup process now uses SIGUSR1 to signal the slotsync
worker to stop during promotion. The worker exits after detecting that the
shared memory flag stopSignaled is set.

006dd4b2e5 Prevent invalidation of newly created replication slots.
A race condition could cause a newly created replication slot to become
invalidated between WAL reservation and a checkpoint.

Previously, if the required WAL was removed, we retried the reservation
process. However, the slot could still be invalidated before the retry if
the WAL was not yet removed but the checkpoint advanced the redo pointer
beyond the slot's intended restart LSN and computed the minimum LSN that
needs to be preserved for the slots.

The fix is to acquire an exclusive lock on ReplicationSlotAllocationLock
during WAL reservation to serialize WAL reservation and checkpoint's
minimum restart_lsn computation. This ensures that, if WAL reservation
occurs first, the checkpoint waits until restart_lsn is updated before
removing WAL. If the checkpoint runs first, subsequent WAL reservations
pick a position at or after the latest checkpoint's redo pointer.

We can't use the same fix for branch 17 and prior because commit
2090edc6f3 changed to compute to the minimum restart_LSN among slot's at
the beginning of checkpoint (or restart point). The fix for 17 and prior
branches is under discussion and will be committed separately.

005a2907dc Micro-optimize datatype conversions in datum_to_jsonb_internal.
The general case for converting to a JSONB numeric value is to run the
source datatype's output function and then numeric_in, but we can do
substantially better than that for integer and numeric source values.
This patch improves the speed of jsonb_agg by 30% for integer input,
and nearly 2X for numeric input.

Sadly, the obvious idea of using float4_numeric and float8_numeric
to speed up those cases doesn't work: they are actually slower than
the generic coerce-via-I/O method, and not by a small amount.
They might round off differently than this code has historically done,
too.  Leave that alone pending possible changes in those functions.

We can also do better than the existing code for text/varchar/bpchar
source data; this optimization is similar to one that already exists
in the json_agg() code.  That saves 20% or so for such inputs.

Also make a couple of other minor improvements, such as not giving
JSONTYPE_CAST its own special case outside the switch when it could
perfectly well be handled inside, and not using dubious string hacking
to detect infinity and NaN results.

b61aa76e45 Remove fundamentally-redundant processing in jsonb_agg() et al.
The various variants of jsonb_agg() operate as follows,
for each aggregate input value:

1. Build a JsonbValue tree representation of the input value.
2. Flatten the JsonbValue tree into a Jsonb in on-disk format.
3. Iterate through the Jsonb, building a JsonbValue that is part
of the aggregate's state stored in aggcontext, but is otherwise
identical to what phase 1 built.

This is very slightly less silly than it sounds, because phase 1
involves calling non-JSONB code such as datatype output functions,
which are likely to leak memory, and we don't want to leak into the
aggcontext.  Nonetheless, phases 2 and 3 are accomplishing exactly
nothing that is useful if we can make phase 1 put the JsonbValue
tree where we need it.  We could probably do that with a bunch of
MemoryContextSwitchTo's, but what seems more robust is to give
pushJsonbValue the responsibility of building the JsonbValue tree
in a specified non-current memory context.  The previous patch
created the infrastructure for that, and this patch simply makes
the aggregate functions use it and then rips out phases 2 and 3.

For me, this makes jsonb_agg() with a text column as input run
about 2X faster than before.  It's not yet on par with json_agg(),
but this removes a whole lot of the difference.

0986e95161 Revise APIs for pushJsonbValue() and associated routines.
Instead of passing "JsonbParseState **" to pushJsonbValue(),
pass a pointer to a JsonbInState, which will contain the
parseState stack pointer as well as other useful fields.
Also, instead of returning a JsonbValue pointer that is often
meaningless/ignored, return the top-level JsonbValue pointer
in the "result" field of the JsonbInState.

This involves a lot of (mostly mechanical) edits, but I think
the results are notationally cleaner and easier to understand.
Certainly the business with sometimes capturing the result of
pushJsonbValue() and sometimes not was bug-prone and incapable of
mechanical verification.  In the new arrangement, JsonbInState.result
remains null until we've completed a valid sequence of pushes, so
that an incorrect sequence will result in a null-pointer dereference,
not mistaken use of a partial result.

However, this isn't simply an exercise in prettier notation.
The real reason for doing it is to provide a mechanism whereby
pushJsonbValue() can be told to construct the JsonbValue tree
in a context that is not CurrentMemoryContext.  That happens
when a non-null "outcontext" is specified in the JsonbInState.
No callers exercise that option in this patch, but the next
patch in the series will make use of it.

I tried to improve the comments in this area too.

6498287696 Handle constant inputs to corr() and related aggregates more precisely.
The SQL standard says that corr() and friends should return NULL in
the mathematically-undefined case where all the inputs in one of
the columns have the same value.  We were checking that by seeing
if the sums Sxx and Syy were zero, but that approach is very
vulnerable to roundoff error: if a sum is close to zero but not
exactly that, we'd come out with a pretty silly non-NULL result.

Instead, directly track whether the inputs are all equal by
remembering the common value in each column.  Once we detect
that a new input is different from before, represent that by
storing NaN for the common value.  (An objection to this scheme
is that if the inputs are all NaN, we will consider that they
were not all equal.  But under IEEE float arithmetic rules,
one NaN is never equal to another, so this behavior is arguably
correct.  Moreover it matches what we did before in such cases.)
Then, leave the sums at their exact value of zero for as long
as we haven't detected different input values.

This solution requires the aggregate transition state to contain
8 float values not 6, which is not problematic, and it seems to add
less than 1% to the aggregates' runtime, which seems acceptable.

While we're here, improve corr()'s final function to cope with
overflow/underflow in the final calculation, and to clamp its
result to [-1, 1] in case of roundoff error.

Although this is arguably a bug fix, it requires a catversion bump
due to the change in aggregates' initial states, so it can't be
back-patched.

Patch written by me, but many of the ideas are due to Dean Rasheed,

6dfce8420e Fix text substring search for non-deterministic collations.
Due to an off-by-one error, the code failed to find matches at the
end of the haystack.  Fix by rewriting the loop.

While at it, fix a comment that claimed that the function could find
a zero-length match.  Such a match could send a caller into an endless
loop.  However, zero-length matches only make sense with an empty
search string, and that case is explicitly excluded by all callers.
To make sure it stays that way, add an Assert and a comment.

014f9a831a Don't reset the pathlist of partitioned joinrels.
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths wants to avoid useless work and
platform-specific dependencies by throwing away the path list created
prior to applying the final scan/join target and constructing a whole
new one using the final scan/join target. However, this is only valid
when we'll consider all the same strategies after the pathlist reset
as before.

After resetting the path list, we reconsider Append and MergeAppend
paths with the modified target list; therefore, it's only valid for a
partitioned relation. However, what the previous coding missed is that
it cannot be a partitioned join relation, because that also has paths
that are not Append or MergeAppend paths and will not be reconsidered.
Thus, before this patch, we'd sometimes choose a partitionwise strategy
with a higher total cost than cheapest non-partitionwise strategy,
which is not good.

We had a surprising number of tests cases that were relying on this
bug to work as they did. A big part of the reason for this is that row
counts in regression test cases tend to be low, which brings the cost
of partitionwise and non-partitionwise strategies very close together,
especially for merge joins, where the real and perceived advantages of
a partitionwise approach are minimal. In addition, one test case
included a row-count-inflating join. In such cases, a partitionwise
join can easily be a loser on cost, because the total number of tuples
passing through an Append node is much higher than it is with a
non-partitionwise strategy. That test case is adjusted by adding
additional join clauses to avoid the row count inflation.

Although the failure of the planner to choose the lowest-cost path is a
bug, we generally do not back-patch fixes of this type, because planning
is not an exact science and there is always a possibility that some user
will end up with a plan that has a lower estimated cost but actually
runs more slowly. Hence, no backpatch here, either.

The code change here is exactly what was originally proposed by
Ashutosh, but the changes to the comments and test cases have been
very heavily rewritten by me, helped along by some very useful advice
from Richard Guo.

8f1791c618 Fix some cases of indirectly casting away const.
Newest versions of gcc are able to detect cases where code implicitly
casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or a similar
function applied to a "const char *" value to a target variable
that's just "char *".  This of course creates a hazard of not getting
a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was not supposed
to, so fixing up such cases is good.

This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that.
Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable,
since no actually-hazardous change was occurring.  There is one
place in ecpg.trailer where we were indeed violating the intention
of not modifying a string passed in as "const char *".  I believe
that's harmless not a live bug, but let's fix it by copying the
string before modifying it.

There is a remaining trouble spot in ecpg/preproc/variable.c,
which requires more complex surgery.  I've left that out of this
commit because I want to study that code a bit more first.

We probably will want to back-patch this once compilers that detect
this pattern get into wider circulation, but for now I'm just
going to apply it to master to see what the buildfarm says.

Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than
I had.

5db6a344ab Rename column slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip.
Commit 76b78721ca introduced two new columns in pg_stat_replication_slots
to improve monitoring of slot synchronization. One of these columns was
named slotsync_skip_at, which is inconsistent with the naming convention
used for similar columns in other system views.

Columns that store timestamps of the most recent event typically use the
'last_' in the column name (e.g., last_autovacuum, checksum_last_failure).
Renaming slotsync_skip_at to slotsync_last_skip aligns with this pattern,
making the purpose of the column clearer and improving overall consistency

789d65364c Set next multixid's offset when creating a new multixid
With this commit, the next multixid's offset will always be set on the
offsets page, by the time that a backend might try to read it, so we
no longer need the waiting mechanism with the condition variable. In
other words, this eliminates "corner case 2" mentioned in the
comments.

The waiting mechanism was broken in a few scenarios:

- When nextMulti was advanced without WAL-logging the next
  multixid. For example, if a later multixid was already assigned and
  WAL-logged before the previous one was WAL-logged, and then the
  server crashed. In that case the next offset would never be set in
  the offsets SLRU, and a query trying to read it would get stuck
  waiting for it. Same thing could happen if pg_resetwal was used to
  forcibly advance nextMulti.

- In hot standby mode, a deadlock could happen where one backend waits
  for the next multixid assignment record, but WAL replay is not
  advancing because of a recovery conflict with the waiting backend.

The old TAP test used carefully placed injection points to exercise
the old waiting code, but now that the waiting code is gone, much of
the old test is no longer relevant. Rewrite the test to reproduce the
IPC/MultixactCreation hang after crash recovery instead, and to verify
that previously recorded multixids stay readable.

Backpatch to all supported versions. In back-branches, we still need
to be able to read WAL that was generated before this fix, so in the
back-branches this includes a hack to initialize the next offsets page
when replaying XLOG_MULTIXACT_CREATE_ID for the last multixid on a
page. On 'master', bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC instead to indicate that the
WAL is not compatible.

Fix ON CONFLICT with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and partitions
When planning queries with ON CONFLICT on partitioned tables, the
indexes to consider as arbiters for each partition are determined based
on those found in the parent table.  However, it's possible for an index
on a partition to be reindexed, and in that case, the auxiliary indexes
created on the partition must be considered as arbiters as well; failing
to do that may result in spurious "duplicate key" errors given
sufficient bad luck.

We fix that in this commit by matching every index that doesn't have a
parent to each initially-determined arbiter index.  Every unparented
matching index is considered an additional arbiter index.

Closely related to the fixes in bc32a12e0d and 2bc7e886fc, and for
identical reasons, not backpatched (for now) even though it's a
longstanding issue.

a their own logic to do the same.  These are now named as follows:
- timestamp2timestamptz_safe()
- timestamptz2timestamp_safe()

These functions were suffixed with "_opt_overflow", previously.

This shaves some code, as it is possible to detect how a timestamp[tz]
overflowed based on the returned value rather than a custom state.  It
is optionally possible for the callers of these functions to rely on the
error generated internally by these functions, depending on the error
context.

19b966243c Make regex "max_chr" depend on encoding, not provider.
The regex mechanism scans through the first "max_chr" character values
to cache character property ranges (isalpha, etc.). For single-byte
encodings, there's no sense in scanning beyond UCHAR_MAX; but for
UTF-8 it makes sense to cache higher code point values (though not all
of them; only up to MAX_SIMPLE_CHR).

Prior to 5a38104b36, the logic about how many character values to scan
was based on the pg_regex_strategy, which was dependent on the
provider. Commit 5a38104b36 preserved that logic exactly, allowing
different providers to define the "max_chr".

Now, change it to depend only on the encoding and whether
ctype_is_c. For this specific calculation, distinguishing between
providers creates more complexity than it's worth.

99cd8890be Change some callers to use pg_ascii_toupper().
The input is ASCII anyway, so it's better to be clear that it's not
locale-dependent.

Fix ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY
When REINDEX CONCURRENTLY is processing the index that supports a
constraint, there are periods during which multiple indexes match the
constraint index's definition.  Those must all be included in the set of
inferred index for INSERT ON CONFLICT, in order to avoid spurious
"duplicate key" errors.

To fix, we set things up to match all indexes against attributes,
expressions and predicates of the constraint index, then return all
indexes that match those, rather than just the one constraint index.
This is more onerous than before, where we would just test the named
constraint for validity, but it's not more onerous than processing
"conventional" inference (where a list of attribute names etc is given).

This is closely related to the misbehaviors fixed by bc32a12e0d, for a
different situation.  We're not backpatching this one for now either,
for the same reasons.

2fcc5a7151 Fix a strict aliasing violation
This one is almost a textbook example of an aliasing violation, and it
is straightforward to fix, so clean it up.  (The warning only shows up
if you remove the -fno-strict-aliasing option.)  Also, move the code
after the error checking.  Doesn't make a difference technically, but
it seems strange to do actions before errors are checked.

a87987cafc Move WAL sequence code into its own file
This split exists for most of the other RMGRs, and makes cleaner the
separation between the WAL code, the redo code and the record
description code (already in its own file) when it comes to the sequence
RMGR.  The redo and masking routines are moved to a new file,
sequence_xlog.c.  All the RMGR routines are now located in a new header,
sequence_xlog.h.

This separation is useful for a different patch related to sequences
that I have been working on, where it makes a refactoring of sequence.c
easier if its RMGR routines and its core routines are split.

d03668ea05 Switch some date/timestamp functions to use the soft error reporting
This commit changes some functions related to the data types date and
timestamp to use the soft error reporting rather than a custom boolean
flag called "overflow", used to let the callers of these functions know
if an overflow happens.

This results in the removal of some boilerplate code, as it is possible
to rely on an error context rather than a custom state, with the
possibility to use the error generated inside the functions updated
here, if necessary.

These functions were suffixed with "_opt_overflow".  They are now
renamed to use "_safe" as suffix.

This work is similar to 4246a977ba.

5424f4da90 Don't call simplify_aggref with a NULL PlannerInfo
42473b3b3 added prosupport infrastructure to allow simplification of
Aggrefs during constant-folding.  In some cases the context->root that's
given to eval_const_expressions_mutator() can be NULL.  42473b3b3 failed
to take that into account, which could result in a crash.

To fix, add a check and only call simplify_aggref() when the PlannerInfo
is set.
