Fix typo 2025-11-18 19:31:23 +01:00

35b5c62c3a Don't allow CTEs to determine semantic levels of aggregates.
The fix for bug #19055 (commit b0cc0a71e) allowed CTE references in
sub-selects within aggregate functions to affect the semantic levels
assigned to such aggregates.  It turns out this broke some related
cases, leading to assertion failures or strange planner errors such
as "unexpected outer reference in CTE query".  After experimenting
with some alternative rules for assigning the semantic level in
such cases, we've come to the conclusion that changing the level
is more likely to break things than be helpful.

Therefore, this patch undoes what b0cc0a71e changed, and instead
installs logic to throw an error if there is any reference to a
CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would
assign to the aggregate based on its contained Var and Aggref nodes.
(The SQL standard disallows sub-selects within aggregate functions,
so it can't reach the troublesome case and hence has no rule for
what to do.)

Perhaps someone will come along with a legitimate query that this
logic rejects, and if so probably the example will help us craft
a level-adjustment rule that works better than what b0cc0a71e did.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, because the previous
logic had been there for a very long time before bug #19055 without
complaints, and that bug report sure looks to have originated from
fuzzing not from real usage.

Like b0cc0a71e, back-patch to all supported branches, though
sadly that no longer includes v13.

f63ae72bbc Switch from tabs to spaces in postgresql.conf.sample.
This file is written for 8-space tabs, since we expect that most
users who edit their configuration files use 8-space tabs.
However, most of PostgreSQL is written for 4-space tabs, and at
least one popular web interface defaults to 4-space tabs.  Rather
than trying to standardize on a particular tab width for this file,
let's just switch to spaces.

75e82b2f5a Optimize shared memory usage for WaitLSNProcInfo
We need separate pairing heaps for different WaitLSNType's, because there
might be waiters for different LSN's at the same time.  However, one process
can wait only for one type of LSN at a time.  So, no need for inHeap

3edaf29fa5 Rename two columns in pg_stat_subscription_stats.
This patch renames the sync_error_count column to sync_table_error_count
in the pg_stat_subscription_stats view. The new name makes the purpose
explicit now that a separate column exists to track sequence
synchronization errors.

Additionally, the column seq_sync_error_count is renamed to
sync_seq_error_count to maintain a consistent naming pattern, making it
easier for users to group, and query synchronization related counters.

ed931377ab Clean up match_orclause_to_indexcol().
Remove bogus stripping of RelabelTypes: that can result in building
an output SAOP tree with incorrect exposed exprType for the operands,
which might confuse polymorphic operators.  Moreover it demonstrably
prevents folding some OR-trees to SAOPs when the RHS expressions
have different base types that were coerced to the same type by
RelabelTypes.

Reduce prohibition on type_is_rowtype to just disallow type RECORD.
We need that because otherwise we would happily fold multiple RECORD
Consts into a RECORDARRAY Const even if they aren't the same record
type.  (We could allow that perhaps, if we checked that they all have
the same typmod, but the case doesn't seem worth that much effort.)
However, there is no reason at all to disallow the transformation
for named composite types, nor domains over them: as long as we can
find a suitable array type we're good.

Remove some assertions that seem rather out of place (it's not
this code's duty to verify that the RestrictInfo structure is
sane).  Rewrite some comments.

The issues with RelabelType stripping seem severe enough to
back-patch this into v18 where the code was introduced.

e76defbcf0 Rework output format of pg_dependencies
The existing format of pg_dependencies uses a single-object JSON
structure, with each key value embedding all the knowledge about the
set attributes tracked, like:
{"1 => 5": 1.000000, "5 => 1": 0.423130}

While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object, particularly when
tracking multiple attributes.

The new output format introduced in this commit is a JSON array of
objects, with:
- A key named "degree", with a float value.
- A key named "attributes", with an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "dependency", with an attribute number.

The values use the same underlying type as previously when printed, with
a new output format that shows now as follows:
[{"degree": 1.000000, "attributes": [1], "dependency": 5},
 {"degree": 0.423130, "attributes": [5], "dependency": 1}]

This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.

This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra.  The key names are
defined in the header introduced by 1f927cce44, to ease the
integration of frontend-specific changes that are still under
discussion.  (Again a personal note: if anybody comes up with better
name for the keys, of course feel free.)

The bulk of the changes come from the regression tests, where
jsonb_pretty() is now used to make the outputs generated easier to
parse.

1b92fe7bb9 Fix Assert failure in EXPLAIN ANALYZE MERGE with a concurrent update.
When instrumenting a MERGE command containing both WHEN NOT MATCHED BY
SOURCE and WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET actions using EXPLAIN ANALYZE, a
concurrent update of the target relation could lead to an Assert
failure in show_modifytable_info(). In a non-assert build, this would
lead to an incorrect value for "skipped" tuples in the EXPLAIN output,
rather than a crash.

This could happen if the concurrent update caused a matched row to no
longer match, in which case ExecMerge() treats the single originally
matched row as a pair of not matched rows, and potentially executes 2
not-matched actions for the single source row. This could then lead to
a state where the number of rows processed by the ModifyTable node
exceeds the number of rows produced by its source node, causing
"skipped_path" in show_modifytable_info() to be negative, triggering
the Assert.

Fix this in ExecMergeMatched() by incrementing the instrumentation
tuple count on the source node whenever a concurrent update of this
kind is detected, if both kinds of merge actions exist, so that the
number of source rows matches the number of actions potentially
executed, and the "skipped" tuple count is correct.

Back-patch to v17, where support for WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
actions was introduced.

84fb27511d Replace off_t by pgoff_t in I/O routines
PostgreSQL's Windows port has never been able to handle files larger
than 2GB due to the use of off_t for file offsets, only 32-bit on
Windows.  This causes signed integer overflow at exactly 2^31 bytes when
trying to handle files larger than 2GB, for the routines touched by this
commit.

Note that large files are forbidden by ./configure (3c6248a828) and
meson (recent change, see 79cd66f28c).  This restriction also exists
in v16 and older versions for the now-dead MSVC scripts.

The code base already defines pgoff_t as __int64 (64-bit) on Windows for
this purpose, and some function declarations in headers use it, but many
internals still rely on off_t.  This commit switches more routines to
use pgoff_t, offering more portability, for areas mainly related to file
extensions and storage.

These are not critical for WAL segments yet, which have currently a
maximum size allowed of 1GB (well, this opens the door at allowing a
larger size for them).  This matters more for segment files if we want
to lift the large file restriction in ./configure and meson in the
future, which would make sense to remove once/if all traces of off_t are
gone from the tree.  This can additionally matter for out-of-core code
that may want files larger than 2GB in places where off_t is four bytes
in size.

Note that off_t is still used in other parts of the tree like
buffile.c, WAL sender/receiver, base backup, pg_combinebackup, etc.
These other code paths can be addressed separately, and their update
will be required if we want to remove the large file restriction in the
future.  This commit is a good first cut in itself towards more
portability, hopefully.

On Unix-like systems, pgoff_t is defined as off_t, so this change only
affects Windows behavior.

797e9ea6e5 Fix remaining race condition with CLOG truncation and LISTEN/NOTIFY
Previous commit fixed a bug where VACUUM would truncate the CLOG
that's still needed to check the commit status of XIDs in the async
notify queue, but as mentioned in the commit message, it wasn't a full
fix. If a backend is executing asyncQueueReadAllNotifications() and
has just made a local copy of an async SLRU page which contains old
XIDs, vacuum can concurrently truncate the CLOG covering those XIDs,
and the backend still gets an error when it calls
TransactionIdDidCommit() on those XIDs in the local copy. This commit
fixes that race condition.

To fix, hold the SLRU bank lock across the TransactionIdDidCommit()
calls in NOTIFY processing.

8eeb4a0f7c Fix bug where we truncated CLOG that was still needed by LISTEN/NOTIFY
The async notification queue contains the XID of the sender, and when
processing notifications we call TransactionIdDidCommit() on the
XID. But we had no safeguards to prevent the CLOG segments containing
those XIDs from being truncated away. As a result, if a backend didn't
for some reason process its notifications for a long time, or when a
new backend issued LISTEN, you could get an error like:

test=# listen c21;
ERROR:  58P01: could not access status of transaction 14279685
DETAIL:  Could not open file "pg_xact/000D": No such file or directory.
LOCATION:  SlruReportIOError, slru.c:1087

To fix, make VACUUM "freeze" the XIDs in the async notification queue
before truncating the CLOG. Old XIDs are replaced with
FrozenTransactionId or InvalidTransactionId.

Note: This commit is not a full fix. A race condition remains, where a
backend is executing asyncQueueReadAllNotifications() and has just
made a local copy of an async SLRU page which contains old XIDs, while
vacuum concurrently truncates the CLOG covering those XIDs. When the
backend then calls TransactionIdDidCommit() on those XIDs from the
local copy, you still get the error. The next commit will fix that
remaining race condition.

1b4699090e Escalate ERRORs during async notify processing to FATAL
Previously, if async notify processing encountered an error, we would
report the error to the client and advance our read position past the
offending entry to prevent trying to process it over and over
again. Trying to continue after an error has a few problems however:

- We have no way of telling the client that a notification was
  lost. They get an ERROR, but that doesn't tell you much. As such,
  it's not clear if keeping the connection alive after losing a
  notification is a good thing. Depending on the application logic,
  missing a notification could cause the application to get stuck
  waiting, for example.

- If the connection is idle, PqCommReadingMsg is set and any ERROR is
  turned into FATAL anyway.

- We bailed out of the notification processing loop on first error
  without processing any subsequent notifications. The subsequent
  notifications would not be processed until another notify interrupt
  arrives. For example, if there were two notifications pending, and
  processing the first one caused an ERROR, the second notification
  would not be processed until someone sent a new NOTIFY.

This commit changes the behavior so that any ERROR while processing
async notifications is turned into FATAL, causing the client
connection to be terminated. That makes the behavior more consistent
as that's what happened in idle state already, and terminating the
connection is a clear signal to the application that it might've
missed some notifications.

The reason to do this now is that the next commits will change the
notification processing code in a way that would make it harder to
skip over just the offending notification entry on error.

6e1535308c Report better object limits in error messages for injection points
Previously, error messages for oversized injection point names, libraries,
and functions showed buffer sizes (64, 128, 128) instead of the usable
character limits (63, 127, 127) as it did not count for the
zero-terminated byte, which was confusing.  These messages are adjusted
to show better the reality.

The limit enforced for the private area was also too strict by one byte,
as specifying a zone worth exactly INJ_PRIVATE_MAXLEN should be able to
work because three is no zero-terminated byte in this case.

This is a stylistic change (well, mostly, a private_area size of exactly
1024 bytes can be defined with this change, something that nobody seem
to care about based on the lack of complaints).  However, this is a
testing facility let's keep the logic consistent across all the branches
where this code exists, as there is an argument in favor of out-of-core
extensions that use injection points.

slru.h, where SLRU_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT is currently defined, cannot be

a3ea5330fc Fix "inconsistent DLL linkage" warning on Windows MSVC
This warning was disabled in meson.build (warning 4273).  If you
enable it, it looks like this:

../src/backend/utils/misc/ps_status.c(27): warning C4273: '__p__environ': inconsistent dll linkage
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22621.0\ucrt\stdlib.h(1158): note: see previous definition of '__p__environ'

The declaration in ps_status.c was:

    #if !defined(WIN32) || defined(_MSC_VER)
    extern char **environ;
    #endif

The declaration in the OS header file is:

    _DCRTIMP char***    __cdecl __p__environ (void);
    #define _environ  (*__p__environ())

So it is evident that this could be problematic.

The old declaration was required by the old MSVCRT library, but we
don't support that anymore with MSVC.

To fix, disable the re-declaration in ps_status.c, and also in some
other places that use the same code pattern but didn't trigger the
warning.

Then we can also re-enable the warning (delete the disablement in
meson.build).

Since a single worker handles the synchronization of all sequences, this

c75ebc657f bufmgr: Allow some buffer state modifications while holding header lock
Until now BufferDesc.state was not allowed to be modified while the buffer
header spinlock was held. This meant that operations like unpinning buffers
needed to use a CAS loop, waiting for the buffer header spinlock to be
released before updating.

The benefit of that restriction is that it allowed us to unlock the buffer
header spinlock with just a write barrier and an unlocked write (instead of a
full atomic operation). That was important to avoid regressions in
48354581a4. However, since then the hottest buffer header spinlock uses have
been replaced with atomic operations (in particular, the most common use of
PinBuffer_Locked(), in GetVictimBuffer() (formerly in BufferAlloc()), has been
removed in 5e89985928).

This change will allow, in a subsequent commit, to release buffer pins with a
single atomic-sub operation. This previously was not possible while such
operations were not allowed while the buffer header spinlock was held, as an
atomic-sub would not have allowed a race-free check for the buffer header lock
being held.

Using atomic-sub to unpin buffers is a nice scalability win, however it is not
the primary motivation for this change (although it would be sufficient). The
primary motivation is that we would like to merge the buffer content lock into
BufferDesc.state, which will result in more frequent changes of the state
variable, which in some situations can cause a performance regression, due to
an increased CAS failure rate when unpinning buffers.  The regression entirely
vanishes when using atomic-sub.

Naively implementing this would require putting CAS loops in every place
modifying the buffer state while holding the buffer header lock. To avoid
that, introduce UnlockBufHdrExt(), which can set/add flags as well as the
refcount, together with releasing the lock.

5a4eba558a Fix few issues in commit 5509055d69.
Test failure on buildfarm member prion:
The test failed due to an unexpected LOCATION: line appearing between the
WARNING and ERROR messages. This occurred because the prion machine uses
log_error_verbosity = verbose, which includes additional context in error
messages. The test was originally checking for both WARNING and ERROR
messages in sequence sync, but the extra LOCATION: line disrupted this
pattern. To make the test robust across different verbosity settings, it
now only checks for the presence of the WARNING message after the test,
which is sufficient to validate the intended behavior.

Failure to sync sequences with quoted names:
The previous implementation did not correctly quote sequence names when
querying remote information, leading to failures when quoted sequence
names were used. This fix ensures that sequence names are properly quoted
during remote queries, allowing sequences with quoted identifiers to be
synced correctly.

query ended up only with a single child due to other children being
found to be dummy rels.  In that case, ordinarily it would be ok to call
estimate_num_groups() on the targetlist of the only child path, however
that's not safe to do if the UNION child is the result of some other set
operation as we generate targetlists containing Vars with varno==0 for
those, which estimate_num_groups() can't handle.  This could lead to:

ERROR:  XX000: no relation entry for relid 0

Fix this by avoiding doing this when the only child is the result of
another set operation.  In that case we'll fall back on the
assume-all-rows-are-unique method.

6d0eba6627 Use stack allocated StringInfoDatas, where possible
Various places that were using StringInfo but didn't need that
StringInfo to exist beyond the scope of the function were using
makeStringInfo(), which allocates both a StringInfoData and the buffer it
uses as two separate allocations.  It's more efficient for these cases to
use a StringInfoData on the stack and initialize it with initStringInfo(),
which only allocates the string buffer.  This also simplifies the cleanup,
in a few cases.

We've successfully used libsanitizer for awhile with the undefined

thread and hwaddress) it crashes due to internal recursion before
it's fully initialized itself.  It turns out that that's due to the
"__ubsan_default_options" hack installed by commit f686ae82f, and we
can fix it by ensuring that __ubsan_default_options is built without

447aae13b0 Implement WAIT FOR command
WAIT FOR is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed.  This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.

WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held.  Otherwise, the snapshot
could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock.
This is why separate utility command seems appears to be the most robust
way to implement this functionality.  It's not possible to implement this as
a function.  Previous experience shows that stored procedures also have
limitation in this aspect.

3b4e53a075 Add infrastructure for efficient LSN waiting
Implement a new facility that allows processes to wait for WAL to reach
specific LSNs, both on primary (waiting for flush) and standby (waiting
for replay) servers.

The implementation uses shared memory with per-backend information
organized into pairing heaps, allowing O(1) access to the minimum
waited LSN. This enables fast-path checks: after replaying or flushing
WAL, the startup process or WAL writer can quickly determine if any
waiters need to be awakened.

Key components:
- New xlogwait.c/h module with WaitForLSNReplay() and WaitForLSNFlush()
- Separate pairing heaps for replay and flush waiters
- WaitLSN lightweight lock for coordinating shared state
- Wait events WAIT_FOR_WAL_REPLAY and WAIT_FOR_WAL_FLUSH for monitoring

This infrastructure can be used by features that need to wait for WAL
operations to complete.

0ea5eee376 Avoid creating duplicate ordered append paths
In generate_orderedappend_paths(), the function does not handle the
case where the paths in total_subpaths and fractional_subpaths are
identical.  This situation is not uncommon, and as a result, it may
generate two exactly identical ordered append paths.

Fix by checking whether total_subpaths and fractional_subpaths contain
the same paths, and skipping creation of the ordered append path for
the fractional case when they are identical.

Given the lack of field complaints about this, I'm a bit hesitant to
back-patch, but let's clean it up in HEAD.

c1777f2d6d Fix assertion failure in generate_orderedappend_paths()
In generate_orderedappend_paths(), there is an assumption that a child
relation's row estimate is always greater than zero.  There is an
Assert verifying this assumption, and the estimate is also used to
convert an absolute tuple count into a fraction.

However, this assumption is not always valid -- for example, upper
relations can have their row estimates unset, resulting in a value of
zero.  This can cause an assertion failure in debug builds or lead to
the tuple fraction being computed as infinity in production builds.

To fix, use the row estimate from the cheapest_total path to compute
the tuple fraction.  The row estimate in this path should already have
been forced to a valid value.

In passing, update the comment for generate_orderedappend_paths() to
note that the function also considers the cheapest-fractional case
when not all tuples need to be retrieved.  That is, it collects all
the cheapest fractional paths and builds an ordered append path for
each interesting ordering.

Backpatch to v18, where this issue was introduced.

5509055d69 Add sequence synchronization for logical replication.
This patch introduces sequence synchronization. Sequences that are synced
will have 2 states:
   - INIT (needs [re]synchronizing)
   - READY (is already synchronized)

A new sequencesync worker is launched as needed to synchronize sequences.
A single sequencesync worker is responsible for synchronizing all
sequences. It begins by retrieving the list of sequences that are flagged
for synchronization, i.e., those in the INIT state. These sequences are
then processed in batches, allowing multiple entries to be synchronized
within a single transaction. The worker fetches the current sequence
values and page LSNs from the remote publisher, updates the corresponding
sequences on the local subscriber, and finally marks each sequence as
READY upon successful synchronization.

Sequence synchronization occurs in 3 places:
1) CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
    - The command syntax remains unchanged.
    - The subscriber retrieves sequences associated with publications.
    - Published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
      state.
    - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.

2) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
    - The command syntax remains unchanged.
    - Dropped published sequences are removed from pg_subscription_rel.
    - Newly published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
      state.
    - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize only newly added
      sequences.

3) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
    - A new command introduced for PG19 by f0b3573c3a.
    - All sequences in pg_subscription_rel are reset to INIT state.
    - Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.
    - Unlike "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION" command,
      addition and removal of missing sequences will not be done in this
      case.

1fd981f053 Drop unnamed portal immediately after execution to completion
Previously, unnamed portals were kept until the next Bind message or the
end of the transaction.  This could cause temporary files to persist
longer than expected and make logging not reflect the actual SQL
responsible for the temporary file.

This patch changes exec_execute_message() to drop unnamed portals
immediately after execution to completion at the end of an Execute
message, making their removal more aggressive.  This forces temporary
file cleanups to happen at the same time as the completion of the portal
execution, with statement logging correctly reflecting to which
statements these temporary files were attached to (see the diffs in the
TAP test updated by this commit for an idea).

The documentation is updated to describe the lifetime of unnamed
portals, and test cases are updated to verify temporary file removal and
proper statement logging after unnamed portal execution.  This changes
how unnamed portals are handled in the protocol, hence no backpatch is
done.

1213cb4753 Trim TIDs during parallel GIN builds more eagerly
The parallel GIN builds perform "freezing" of TID lists when merging
chunks built earlier. This means determining what part of the list can
no longer change, depending on the last received chunk. The frozen part
can be evicted from memory and written out.

The code attempted to freeze items right before merging the old and new
TID list, after already attempting to trim the current buffer. That
means part of the data may get frozen based on the new TID list, but
will be trimmed later (on next loop). This increases memory usage.

This inverts the order, so that we freeze data first (before trimming).
The benefits are likely relatively small, but it's also virtually free
with no other downsides.

c98dffcb7c Limit the size of TID lists during parallel GIN build
When building intermediate TID lists during parallel GIN builds, split
the sorted lists into smaller chunks, to limit the amount of memory
needed when merging the chunks later.

The leader may need to keep in memory up to one chunk per worker, and
possibly one extra chunk (before evicting some of the data). The code
processing item pointers uses regular palloc/repalloc calls, which means
it's subject to the MaxAllocSize (1GB) limit.

We could fix this by allowing huge allocations, but that'd require
changes in many places without much benefit. Larger chunks do not
actually improve performance, so the memory usage would be wasted.

Fixed by limiting the chunk size to not hit MaxAllocSize. Each worker
gets a fair share.

This requires remembering the number of participating workers, in a
place that can be accessed from the callback. Luckily, the bs_worker_id
field in GinBuildState was unused, so repurpose that.

Report by Greg Smith, investigation and fix by me. Batchpatched to 18,
where parallel GIN builds were introduced.

ff4597acd4 Allow "SET list_guc TO NULL" to specify setting the GUC to empty.
We have never had a SET syntax that allows setting a GUC_LIST_INPUT
parameter to be an empty list.  A locution such as
	SET search_path = '';
doesn't mean that; it means setting the GUC to contain a single item
that is an empty string.  (For search_path the net effect is much the
same, because search_path ignores invalid schema names and '' must be
invalid.)  This is confusing, not least because configuration-file
entries and the set_config() function can easily produce empty-list
values.

We considered making the empty-string syntax do this, but that would
foreclose ever allowing empty-string items to be valid in list GUCs.
While there isn't any obvious use-case for that today, it feels like
the kind of restriction that might hurt someday.  Instead, let's
accept the forbidden-up-to-now value NULL and treat that as meaning an
empty list.  (An objection to this could be "what if we someday want
to allow NULL as a GUC value?".  That seems unlikely though, and even
if we did allow it for scalar GUCs, we could continue to treat it as
meaning an empty list for list GUCs.)

It's possible to define BRIN indexes on functions that require a
snapshot to run, but the autosummarization feature introduced by commit
7526e10224 fails to provide one.  This causes autovacuum to leave a
BRIN placeholder tuple behind after a failed work-item execution, making
such indexes less efficient.  Repair by obtaining a snapshot prior to
running the task, and add a test to verify this behavior.

65f4976189 Add assertion check for WAL receiver state during stream-archive transition
When the startup process switches from streaming to archive as WAL
source, we avoid calling ShutdownWalRcv() if the WAL receiver is not
streaming, based on WalRcvStreaming().  WALRCV_STOPPING is a state set
by ShutdownWalRcv(), called only by the startup process, meaning that it
should not be possible to reach this state while in
WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable().

This commit adds an assertion to make sure that a WAL receiver is never
in a WALRCV_STOPPING state should the startup process attempt to reset
InstallXLogFileSegmentActive.

Idea suggested by Noah Misch.

17b2d5ec75 Fix unconditional WAL receiver shutdown during stream-archive transition
Commit b4f584f9d2 (affecting v15~, later backpatched down to 13 as of
3635a0a35a) introduced an unconditional WAL receiver shutdown when
switching from streaming to archive WAL sources.  This causes problems
during a timeline switch, when a WAL receiver enters WALRCV_WAITING
state but remains alive, waiting for instructions.

The unconditional shutdown can break some monitoring scenarios as the
WAL receiver gets repeatedly terminated and re-spawned, causing
pg_stat_wal_receiver.status to show a "streaming" instead of "waiting"
status, masking the fact that the WAL receiver is waiting for a new TLI
and a new LSN to be able to continue streaming.

This commit changes the WAL receiver behavior so as the shutdown becomes
conditional, with InstallXLogFileSegmentActive being always reset to
prevent the regression fixed by b4f584f9d2: only terminate the WAL
receiver when it is actively streaming (WALRCV_STREAMING,
WALRCV_STARTING, or WALRCV_RESTARTING).  When in WALRCV_WAITING state,
just reset InstallXLogFileSegmentActive flag to allow archive
restoration without killing the process.  WALRCV_STOPPED and
WALRCV_STOPPING are not reachable states in this code path.  For the
latter, the startup process is the one in charge of setting
WALRCV_STOPPING via ShutdownWalRcv(), waiting for the WAL receiver to
reach a WALRCV_STOPPED state after switching walRcvState, so
WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable() cannot be reached while a WAL receiver is
in a WALRCV_STOPPING state.

A regression test is added to check that a WAL receiver is not stopped
on timeline jump, that fails when the fix of this commit is reverted.

The order in this list was previously pretty random and had grown
organically over time.  This made it unnecessarily cumbersome to
maintain these lists, as there was no clear guidelines about where to
put new entries.  Also, after the merger of the type-specific GUC
structs, the list still reflected the previous type-specific
super-order.

By using alphabetical order, the place for new entries becomes clear,
and often related entries will be listed close together.

This patch reorders the existing entries in guc_parameters.dat, and it
also augments the generation script to error if an entry is found at
the wrong place.

Note: The order is actually checked after lower-casing, to handle the

8f29467c57 Change "long" numGroups fields to be Cardinality (i.e., double).
We've been nibbling away at removing uses of "long" for a long time,
since its width is platform-dependent.  Here's one more: change the
remaining "long" fields in Plan nodes to Cardinality, since the three
surviving examples all represent group-count estimates.  The upstream
planner code was converted to Cardinality some time ago; for example
the corresponding fields in Path nodes are type Cardinality, as are
the arguments of the make_foo_path functions.  Downstream in the
executor, it turns out that these all feed to the table-size argument
of BuildTupleHashTable.  Change that to "double" as well, and fix it
so that it safely clamps out-of-range values to the uint32 limit of
simplehash.h, as was not being done before.

Essentially, this is removing all the artificial datatype-dependent
limitations on these values from upstream processing, and applying
just one clamp at the moment where we're forced to do so by the
datatype choices of simplehash.h.

Also, remove BuildTupleHashTable's misguided attempt to enforce
work_mem/hash_mem_limit.  It doesn't have enough information
(particularly not the expected tuple width) to do that accurately,
and it has no real business second-guessing the caller's choice.
For all these plan types, it's really the planner's responsibility
to not choose a hashed implementation if the hashtable is expected
to exceed hash_mem_limit.  The previous patch improved the
accuracy of those estimates, and even if BuildTupleHashTable had
more information it should arrive at the same conclusions.

1ea5bdb00b Improve planner's estimates of tuple hash table sizes.
For several types of plan nodes that use TupleHashTables, the
planner estimated the expected size of the table as basically
numEntries * (MAXALIGN(dataWidth) + MAXALIGN(SizeofHeapTupleHeader)).
This is pretty far off, especially for small data widths, because
it doesn't account for the overhead of the simplehash.h hash table
nor for any per-tuple "additional space" the plan node may request.
Jeff Janes noted a case where the estimate was off by about a factor
of three, even though the obvious hazards such as inaccurate estimates
of numEntries or dataWidth didn't apply.

To improve matters, create functions provided by the relevant executor
modules that can estimate the required sizes with reasonable accuracy.
(We're still not accounting for effects like allocator padding, but
this at least gets the first-order effects correct.)

I added functions that can estimate the tuple table sizes for
nodeSetOp and nodeSubplan; these rely on an estimator for
TupleHashTables in general, and that in turn relies on one for
simplehash.h hash tables.  That feels like kind of a lot of mechanism,
but if we take any short-cuts we're violating modularity boundaries.

The other places that use TupleHashTables are nodeAgg, which took
pains to get its numbers right already, and nodeRecursiveunion.
I did not try to improve the situation for nodeRecursiveunion because
there's nothing to improve: we are not making an estimate of the hash
table size, and it wouldn't help us to do so because we have no
non-hashed alternative implementation.  On top of that, our estimate
of the number of entries to be hashed in that module is so suspect
that we'd likely often choose the wrong implementation if we did have
two ways to do it.

c106ef0807 Use BumpContext contexts in TupleHashTables, and do some code cleanup.
For all extant uses of TupleHashTables, execGrouping.c itself does
nothing with the "tablecxt" except to allocate new hash entries in it,
and the callers do nothing with it except to reset the whole context.
So this is an ideal use-case for a BumpContext, and the hash tables
are frequently big enough for the savings to be significant.

(Commit cc721c459 already taught nodeAgg.c this idea, but neglected
the other callers of BuildTupleHashTable.)

While at it, let's clean up some ill-advised leftovers from rebasing
TupleHashTables on simplehash.h:

* Many comments and variable names were based on the idea that the
tablecxt holds the whole TupleHashTable, whereas now it only holds the
hashed tuples (plus any caller-defined "additional storage").  Rename
to names like tuplescxt and tuplesContext, and adjust the comments.
Also adjust the memory context names to be like "<Foo> hashed tuples".

* Make ResetTupleHashTable() reset the tuplescxt rather than relying
on the caller to do so; that was fairly bizarre and seems like a
recipe for leaks.  This is less efficient in the case where nodeAgg.c
uses the same tuplescxt for several different hashtables, but only
microscopically so because mcxt.c will short-circuit the extra resets
via its isReset flag.  I judge the extra safety and intellectual
cleanliness well worth those few cycles.

* Remove the long-obsolete "allow_jit" check added by ac88807f9;
instead, just Assert that metacxt and tuplescxt are different.
We need that anyway for this definition of ResetTupleHashTable() to
be safe.

There is a side issue of the extent to which this change invalidates
the planner's estimates of hashtable memory consumption.  However,
those estimates are already pretty bad, so improving them seems like
it can be a separate project.  This change is useful to do first to
establish consistent executor behavior that the planner can expect.

A loose end not addressed here is that the "entrysize" calculation
in BuildTupleHashTable seems wrong: "sizeof(TupleHashEntryData) +
additionalsize" corresponds neither to the size of the simplehash
entries nor to the total space needed per tuple.  It's questionable
why BuildTupleHashTable is second-guessing its caller's nbuckets
choice at all, since the original source of the number should have had
more information.  But that all seems wrapped up with the planner's
estimation logic, so let's leave it for the planned followup patch.

d432094689 Fix regression with slot invalidation checks
This commit reverts 818fefd8fd, that has been introduced to address a
an instability in some of the TAP tests due to the presence of random
standby snapshot WAL records, when slots are invalidated by
InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot().

Anyway, this commit had also the consequence of introducing a behavior
regression.  After 818fefd8fd, the code may determine that a slot needs
to be invalidated while it may not require one: the slot may have moved
from a conflicting state to a non-conflicting state between the moment
when the mutex is released and the moment when we recheck the slot, in
InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot().  Hence, the invalidations may be more
aggressive than they actually have to.

105b2cb336 has tackled the test instability in a way that should be
hopefully sufficient for the buildfarm, even for slow members:
- In v18, the test relies on an injection point that bypasses the
creation of the random records generated for standby snapshots,
eliminating the random factor that impacted the test.  This option was
not available when 818fefd8fd was discussed.
- In v16 and v17, the problem was bypassed by disallowing a slot to
become active in some of the scenarios tested.

While on it, this commit adds a comment to document that it is fine for
a recheck to use xmin and LSN values stored in the slot, without storing
and reusing them across multiple checks.

257ee78341 Disable parallel plans for RIGHT_SEMI joins
RIGHT_SEMI joins rely on the HEAP_TUPLE_HAS_MATCH flag to guarantee
that only the first match for each inner tuple is considered.
However, in a parallel hash join, the inner relation is stored in a
shared global hash table that can be probed by multiple workers
concurrently.  This allows different workers to inspect and set the
match flags of the same inner tuples at the same time.

If two workers probe the same inner tuple concurrently, both may see
the match flag as unset and emit the same tuple, leading to duplicate
output rows and violating RIGHT_SEMI join semantics.

For now, we disable parallel plans for RIGHT_SEMI joins.  In the long
term, it may be possible to support parallel execution by performing
atomic operations on the match flag, for example using a CAS or
similar mechanism.

Backpatch to v18, where RIGHT_SEMI join was introduced.

50eb4e1181 Fix bogus use of "long" in AllocSetCheck()
Because long is 32-bit on 64-bit Windows, it isn't a good datatype to
store the difference between 2 pointers.  The under-sized type could
overflow and lead to scary warnings in MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds,
such as:

WARNING:  problem in alloc set ExecutorState: bad single-chunk %p in block %p

However, the problem lies only in the code running the check, not from
an actual memory accounting bug.

Fix by using "Size" instead of "long".  This means using an unsigned
type rather than the previous signed type.  If the block's freeptr was
corrupted, we'd still catch that if the unsigned type wrapped.  Unsigned
allows us to avoid further needless complexities around comparing signed
and unsigned types.

CheckNNConstraintFetch: Fill all of ConstrCheck in a single pass
Previously, we'd fill all fields except ccbin, and only later obtain and
detoast ccbin, with hypothetical failures being possible.  If ccbin is
null (rare catalog corruption I have never witnessed) or its a corrupted
toast entry, we leak a tiny bit of memory in CacheMemoryContext from
having strdup'd the constraint name.  Repair these by only attempting to
fill the struct once ccbin has been detoasted.

a13833c35f Reorganize GUC structs
Instead of having five separate GUC structs, one for each type, with
the generic part contained in each of them, flip it around and have
one common struct, with the type-specific part has a subfield.

The very original GUC design had type-specific structs and
type-specific lists, and the membership in one of the lists defined
the type.  But now the structs themselves know the type (from the
.vartype field), and they are all loaded into a common hash table at
run time, and so this original separation no longer makes sense.  It
creates a bunch of inconsistencies in the code about whether the
type-specific or the generic struct is the primary struct, and a lot
of casting in between, which makes certain assumptions about the
struct layouts.

After the change, all these casts are gone and all the data is
accessed via normal field references.  Also, various code is
simplified because only one kind of struct needs to be processed.

d3111cb753 Fix correctness issue with computation of FPI size in WAL stats
XLogRecordAssemble() may be called multiple times before inserting a

The logic added in f9a09aa295 touched directly pgWalUsage in
XLogRecordAssemble(), meaning that it could be possible for pgWalUsage
to be incremented multiple times for a single record.  This commit
changes the code to use the same logic as the number of FPIs added to a
record, where XLogRecordAssemble() returns this information and feeds it
to XLogInsertRecord(), updating pgWalUsage only when a record is

we'd try to decrement relchecks, but since it's zero we error out and

35e53b6841 Check that index can return in get_actual_variable_range()
Some recent changes were made to remove the explicit dependency on
btree indexes in some parts of the code.  One of these changes was
made in commit 9ef1851685, which allows non-btree indexes to be used
in get_actual_variable_range().  A follow-up commit ee1ae8b99f fixes
the cases where an index doesn’t have a sortopfamily as this is a
prerequisite to be used in get_actual_variable_range().

However, it was found that indexes that have amcanorder = true but do
not allow index-only-scans (amcanreturn returns false or is NULL) will
pass all of the conditions, while they should be rejected since
get_actual_variable_range() uses the index-only-scan machinery in
get_actual_variable_endpoint().  Such an index might cause errors like

    ERROR:  no data returned for index-only scan

during query planning.

The fix is to add a check in get_actual_variable_range() to reject
indexes that do not allow index-only scans.

Also, since this type hides the pointerness, we can't apply qualifiers

e0dc4bbfb8 Fix GUC check_hook validation for synchronized_standby_slots.
Previously, the check_hook for synchronized_standby_slots attempted to
validate that each specified slot existed and was physical. However, these
checks were not performed during server startup. As a result, if users
configured non-existent slots before startup, the misconfiguration would
go undetected initially. This could later cause parallel query failures,
as newly launched workers would detect the issue and raise an ERROR.

This patch improves the check_hook by validating the syntax and format of
slot names. Validation of slot existence and type is deferred to the WAL
sender process, aligning with the behavior of the check_hook for
primary_slot_name.

39dcfda2d2 Fix incorrect logic for caching ResultRelInfos for triggers
When dealing with ResultRelInfos for partitions, there are cases where
there are mixed requirements for the ri_RootResultRelInfo.  There are
cases when the partition itself requires a NULL ri_RootResultRelInfo and
in the same query, the same partition may require a ResultRelInfo with
its parent set in ri_RootResultRelInfo.  This could cause the column
mapping between the partitioned table and the partition not to be done
which could result in crashes if the column attnums didn't match
exactly.

The fix is simple.  We now check that the ri_RootResultRelInfo matches
what the caller passed to ExecGetTriggerResultRel() and only return a
cached ResultRelInfo when the ri_RootResultRelInfo matches what the
caller wants, otherwise we'll make a new one.

This patch adds support for a new SQL command:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
This command updates the sequence entries present in the
pg_subscription_rel catalog table with the INIT state to trigger
resynchronization.

In addition to the new command, the following subscription commands have
been enhanced to automatically refresh sequence mappings:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ADD PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION

These commands will perform the following actions:
Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription.
Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication.

This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current
state of the publication on the publisher side.

Note that the actual synchronization of sequence data/values will be
handled in a subsequent patch that introduces a dedicated sequence sync
worker.

6911f80379 Fix incorrect zero extension of Datum in JIT tuple deform code
When JIT deformed tuples (controlled via the jit_tuple_deforming GUC),
types narrower than sizeof(Datum) would be zero-extended up to Datum
width.  This wasn't the same as what fetch_att() does in the standard
tuple deforming code.  Logically the values are the same when fetching
via the DatumGet*() marcos, but negative numbers are not the same in
binary form.

In the report, the problem was manifesting itself with:

ERROR: could not find memoization table entry

in a query which had a "Cache Mode: binary" Memoize node. However, it's
currently unclear what else is affected.  Anything that uses
datum_image_eq() or datum_image_hash() on a Datum from a tuple deformed by
JIT could be affected, but it may not be limited to that.

The fix for this is simple: use signed extension instead of zero
extension.

steps and backup which allowed the problem to easily be recreated.

fe9c051fd3 Avoid assuming that time_t can fit in an int.
We had several places that used cast-to-unsigned-int as a substitute
for properly checking for overflow.  Coverity has started objecting
to that practice as likely introducing Y2038 bugs.  An extra
comparison is surely not much compared to the cost of time(NULL), nor
is this coding practice particularly readable.  Let's do it honestly,
with explicit logic covering the cases of first-time-through and
clock-went-backwards.

I don't feel a need to back-patch though: our released versions
will be out of support long before 2038, and besides which I think
the code would accidentally work anyway for another 70 years or so.

This commit changes the check hook to use GUC_check_errdetail() and
GUC_check_errhint() for error reporting. As with other GUC parameters,
this causes non-postmaster processes to log the message at DEBUG3,

2d7b247cb4 Fix multi WinGetFuncArgInFrame/Partition calls with IGNORE NULLS.
Previously it was mistakenly assumed that there's only one window
function argument which needs to be processed by WinGetFuncArgInFrame
or WinGetFuncArgInPartition when IGNORE NULLS option is specified. To
eliminate the limitation, WindowObject->notnull_info is modified from
"uint8 *" to "uint8 **" so that WindowObject->notnull_info could store
pointers to "uint8 *" which holds NOT NULL info corresponding to each
window function argument. Moreover, WindowObject->num_notnull_info is
changed from "int" to "int64 *" so that WindowObject->num_notnull_info
could store the number of NOT NULL info corresponding to each function
argument. Memories for these data structures will be allocated when
WinGetFuncArgInFrame or WinGetFuncArgInPartition is called. Thus no
memory except the pointers is allocated for function arguments which
do not call these functions

Also fix the set mark position logic in WinGetFuncArgInPartition to

883a95646a Fix stalled lag columns in pg_stat_replication when replay LSN stops advancing.
Previously, when the replay LSN reported in feedback messages from a standby
stopped advancing, for example, due to a recovery conflict, the write_lag and
flush_lag columns in pg_stat_replication would initially update but then stop
progressing. This prevented users from correctly monitoring replication lag.

The problem occurred because when any LSN stopped updating, the lag tracker's
cyclic buffer became full (the write head reached the slowest read head).
In that state, the lag tracker could no longer compute round-trip lag values
correctly.

This commit fixes the issue by handling the slowest read entry (the one
causing the buffer to fill) as a separate overflow entry and freeing space
so the write and other read heads can continue advancing in the buffer.
As a result, write_lag and flush_lag now continue updating even if the reported
replay LSN remains stalled.

2470ca435c Use CompactAttribute more often, when possible
5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from
FormData_pg_attribute.  5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting
every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than
FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones.

There are some locations where I've left the code using
FormData_pg_attribute.  These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code.  Using
CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being
changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the
CompactAttribute yet.

I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq()
and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the
CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still
having to be accessed for most cases.  Switching the relevant parts to
use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common
cases.  Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to
make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave
these alone.

In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0
while looping over the TupleDesc.  Doing this is redundant since
TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums.  Removing that code allows us to
move to using CompactAttribute.

The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the
FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling
errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

18d2614093 Fix pushdown of degenerate HAVING clauses
67a54b9e8 taught the planner to push down HAVING clauses even when
grouping sets are present, as long as the clause does not reference
any columns that are nullable by the grouping sets.  However, there
was an oversight: if any empty grouping sets are present, the
aggregation node can produce a row that did not come from the input,
and pushing down a HAVING clause in this case may cause us to fail to
filter out that row.

Currently, non-degenerate HAVING clauses are not pushed down when
empty grouping sets are present, since the empty grouping sets would
nullify the vars they reference.  However, degenerate (variable-free)
HAVING clauses are not subject to this restriction and may be
incorrectly pushed down.

To fix, explicitly check for the presence of empty grouping sets and
retain degenerate clauses in HAVING when they are present.  This
ensures that we don't emit a bogus aggregated row.  A copy of each
such clause is also put in WHERE so that query_planner() can use it in
a gating Result node.

To facilitate this check, this patch expands the groupingSets tree of
the query to a flat list of grouping sets before applying the HAVING
pushdown optimization.  This does not add any additional planning
overhead, since we need to do this expansion anyway.

In passing, make a small tweak to preprocess_grouping_sets() by
reordering its initial operations a bit.

Backpatch to v18, where this issue was introduced.

This commit adds direct COPY TO support for partitioned
tables, improving both usability and performance. Performance tests

the overheads of query processing and sending results to the COPY TO

When used with partitioned tables, COPY TO copies the same rows as
SELECT * FROM table. Row-level security policies of the partitioned
table are applied in the same way as when executing COPY TO on a plain
table.

92cf557ffa Add static assertion that RELSEG_SIZE fits in an int.
Our configure script intended to ensure this, but it supposed that
expr(1) would report an error for integer overflow.  Maybe that
was true when the code was written (commit 3c6248a82 of 2008-05-02),
but all the modern expr's I tried will deliver bigger-than-int32
results without complaint.  Moreover, if you use --with-segsize-blocks
then there's no check at all.

Ideally we'd add a test in configure itself to check that the value
fits in int, but to do that we'd need to suppose that test(1) handles
bigger-than-int32 numbers correctly.  Probably modern ones do, but
that's an assumption I could do without; and I'm not too trusting
about meson either.  Instead, let's install a static assertion, so
that even people who ignore all the compiler warnings you get from
such values will be forced to confront the fact that it won't work.

This has been hazardous for awhile, but given that we hadn't heard
a complaint about it till now, I don't feel a need to back-patch.

e3b9e44689 Tidyup truncate_useless_pathkeys() function
This removes a few static functions and replaces them with 2 functions
which aim to be more reusable.  The upper planner's pathkey requirements
can be simplified down to operations which require pathkeys in the same
order as the pathkeys for the given operation, and operations which can
make use of a Path's pathkeys in any order.

Here we also add some short-circuiting to truncate_useless_pathkeys().  At
any point we discover that all pathkeys are useful to a single operation,
we can stop checking the remaining operations as we're not going to be
able to find any further useful pathkeys - they're all possibly useful
already.  Adjusting this seems to warrant trying to put the checks
roughly in order of least-expensive-first so that the short-circuits
have the most chance of skipping the more expensive checks.

In passing clean up has_useful_pathkeys() as it seems to have grown a
redundant check for group_pathkeys.  This isn't needed as
standard_qp_callback will set query_pathkeys if there's any requirement
to have group_pathkeys.  All this code does is waste run-time effort and
take up needless space.

b85c4700fc Fix hashjoin memory balancing logic
Commit a1b4f289be improved the hashjoin sizing to also consider the
memory used by BufFiles for batches. The code however had multiple
issues, making it ineffective or not working as expected in some cases.

* The amount of memory needed by buffers was calculated using uint32,
  so it would overflow for nbatch >= 262144. If this happened the loop
  would exit prematurely and the memory usage would not be reduced.

  The nbatch overflow is fixed by reworking the condition to not use a
  multiplication at all, so there's no risk of overflow. An explicit
  cast was added to a similar calculation in ExecHashIncreaseBatchSize.

* The loop adjusting the nbatch value used hash_table_bytes to calculate
  the old/new size, but then updated only space_allowed. The consequence
  is the total memory usage was not reduced, but all the memory saved by
  reducing the number of batches was used for the internal hash table.

  This was fixed by using only space_allowed. This is also more correct,
  because hash_table_bytes does not account for skew buckets.

* The code was also doubling multiple parameters (e.g. the number of
  buckets for hash table), but was missing overflow protections.

  The loop now checks for overflow, and terminates if needed. It'd be
  possible to cap the value and continue the loop, but it's not worth
  the complexity. And the overflow implies the in-memory hash table is
  already very large anyway.

While at it, rework the comment explaining how the memory balancing
works, to make it more concise and easier to understand.

The initial nbatch overflow issue was reported by Vaibhav Jain. The
other issues were noticed by me and Melanie Plageman. Fix by me, with a
lot of review and feedback by Melanie.

905e932f09 Fix EPQ crash from missing partition directory in EState
EvalPlanQualStart() failed to propagate es_partition_directory into
the child EState used for EPQ rechecks. When execution time partition
pruning ran during the EPQ scan, executor code dereferenced a NULL
partition directory and crashed.

Previously, propagating es_partition_directory into the EPQ EState was
unnecessary because CreatePartitionPruneState(), which sets it on
demand, also initialized the exec-pruning context.  After commit
d47cbf474, CreatePartitionPruneState() now initializes only the init-
time pruning context, leaving exec-pruning context initialization to
ExecInitNode(). Since EvalPlanQualStart() runs only ExecInitNode() and
not CreatePartitionPruneState(), it can encounter a NULL
es_partition_directory.  Other executor fields initialized during
CreatePartitionPruneState() are already copied into the child EState
thanks to commit 8741e48e5d, but es_partition_directory was missed.

Fix by borrowing the parent estate's  es_partition_directory in
EvalPlanQualStart(), and by clearing that field in EvalPlanQualEnd()
so the parent remains responsible for freeing the directory.

Add an isolation test permutation that triggers EPQ with execution-
time partition pruning, the case that reproduces this crash.

079480dc20 Fix lookup code for REINDEX INDEX.
This commit adjusts RangeVarCallbackForReindexIndex() to handle an
extremely unlikely race condition involving concurrent OID reuse.
In short, if REINDEX INDEX is executed at the same time that the
index is re-created with the same name and OID but a different
parent table OID, we might lock the wrong parent table.  To fix,
simply detect when this happens and emit an ERROR.  Unfortunately,
we can't gracefully handle this situation because we will have
already locked the index, and we must lock the parent table before
the index to avoid deadlocks.

While at it, I've replaced all but one early return in this
callback function with ERRORs that should be unreachable.  While I
haven't verified the presence of a live bug, the checks in question
appear to be unnecessary, and the early returns seem prone to
breaking the parent table locking code in subtle ways.  If nothing
else, this simplifies the code a bit.

This is a bug fix and could be back-patched, but given the presumed
rarity of the race condition and the lack of reports, I'm not going
to bother.

688dc6299a Fix lookups in pg_{clear,restore}_{attribute,relation}_stats().
Presently, these functions look up the relation's OID, lock it, and
then check privileges.  Not only does this approach provide no
guarantee that the locked relation matches the arguments of the
lookup, but it also allows users to briefly lock relations for
which they do not have privileges, which might enable
denial-of-service attacks.  This commit adjusts these functions to
use RangeVarGetRelidExtended(), which is purpose-built to avoid
both of these issues.  The new RangeVarGetRelidCallback function is
somewhat complicated because it must handle both tables and
indexes, and for indexes, we must check privileges on the parent
table and lock it first.  Also, it needs to handle a couple of
extremely unlikely race conditions involving concurrent OID reuse.

A downside of this change is that the coding doesn't allow for
locking indexes in AccessShare mode anymore; everything is locked
in ShareUpdateExclusive mode.  Per discussion, the original choice
of lock levels was intended for a now defunct implementation that
used in-place updates, so we believe this change is okay.

dd3ae37830 Add log_autoanalyze_min_duration
The log output functionality of log_autovacuum_min_duration applies to
both VACUUM and ANALYZE, so it is not possible to separate the VACUUM
and ANALYZE log output thresholds. Logs are likely to be output only for
VACUUM and not for ANALYZE.

Therefore, we decided to separate the threshold for log output of VACUUM
by autovacuum (log_autovacuum_min_duration) and the threshold for log
output of ANALYZE by autovacuum (log_autoanalyze_min_duration).

03bf7a12c5 Fix incorrect message-printing in win32security.c.
log_error() would probably fail completely if used, and would
certainly print garbage for anything that needed to be interpolated
into the message, because it was failing to use the correct printing
subroutine for a va_list argument.

This bug likely went undetected because the error cases this code
is used for are rarely exercised - they only occur when Windows
security API calls fail catastrophically (out of memory, security
subsystem corruption, etc).

The FRONTEND variant can be fixed just by calling vfprintf()
instead of fprintf().  However, there was no va_list variant
of write_stderr(), so create one by refactoring that function.
Following the usual naming convention for such things, call
it vwrite_stderr().

Stop creating constraints during DETACH CONCURRENTLY
Commit 71f4c8c6f7 (which implemented DETACH CONCURRENTLY) added code
to create a separate table constraint when a table is detached
concurrently, identical to the partition constraint, on the theory that
such a constraint was needed in case the optimizer had constructed any
query plans that depended on the constraint being there.  However, that
theory was apparently bogus because any such plans would be invalidated.

For hash partitioning, those constraints are problematic, because their
expressions reference the OID of the parent partitioned table, to which
the detached table is no longer related; this causes all sorts of
problems (such as inability of restoring a pg_dump of that table, and
the table no longer working properly if the partitioned table is later
dropped).

We'd like to get rid of all those constraints.  In fact, for branch
master, do that -- no longer create any substitute constraints.
However, out of fear that some users might somehow depend on these
constraints for other partitioning strategies, for stable branches
(back to 14, which added DETACH CONCURRENTLY), only do it for hash
partitioning.

(If you repeatedly DETACH CONCURRENTLY and then ATTACH a partition, then
with this constraint addition you don't need to scan the table in the
ATTACH step, which presumably is good.  But if users really valued this
feature, they would have requested that it worked for non-concurrent
DETACH also.)

912af1c7e9 Remove state.tmp when failing to save a replication slot
An error happening while a slot data is saved on disk in
SaveSlotToPath() could cause a state.tmp file (temporary file holding
the slot state data, renamed to its permanent name at the end of the
function) to remain around after it has been created.  This temporary
file is created with O_EXCL, meaning that if an existing state.tmp is
found, its creation would fail.  This would prevent the slot data to be
saved, requiring a manual intervention to remove state.tmp before being
able to save again a slot.  Possible scenarios where this temporary file
could remain on disk is for example a ENOSPC case (no disk space) while
writing, syncing or renaming it.  The bug reports point to a write
failure as the principal cause of the problems.

Using O_TRUNC has been argued back in 2019 as a potential solution to
discard any temporary file that could exist.  This solution was rejected
as O_EXCL can also act as a safety measure when saving the slot state,
crash recovery offering cleanup guarantees post-crash.  This commit uses
the alternative approach that has been suggested by Andres Freund back
in 2019.  When the temporary state file cannot be written, synced,
closed or renamed (note: not when created!), an unlink() is used to
remove the temporary state file while holding the in-progress I/O
LWLock, so as any follow-up attempts to save a slot's data would not
choke on an existing file that remained around because of a previous
failure.

This problem has been reported a few times across the years, going back
to 2019, but for some reason I have never come back to do something
about it and it has been forgotten.  A recent report has reminded me
that this was still a problem.

1b073cba49 Cleanup VACUUM option processing error messages
The processing of the PARALLEL option for VACUUM was not quite
following what the DefElem code had intended.  defGetInt32() already has
code to handle missing parameters and returns a perfectly good error
message for when that happens.

Here we get rid of the ExecVacuum() error:

ERROR: parallel option requires a value between 0 and N

and leave defGetInt32() handle it, which will give:

ERROR:  parallel requires an integer value

defGetInt32() was already handling the non-integer parameter case, so it
may as well handle the missing parameter case too.

Additionally, parameterize the option name to make translator work easier,
and also use errhint_internal() rather than errhint() for the
BUFFER_USAGE_LIMIT option since there isn't any work for a translator to
do for "%s".

89d57c1fb3 Clean up memory leakage that occurs in context callback functions.
An error context callback function might leak some memory into
ErrorContext, since those functions are run with ErrorContext as
current context.  In the case where the elevel is ERROR, this is
no problem since the code level that catches the error should do
FlushErrorState to clean up, and that will reset ErrorContext.
However, if the elevel is less than ERROR then no such cleanup occurs.
In principle, repeated leaks while emitting log messages or client
notices could accumulate arbitrarily much leaked data, if no ERROR
occurs in the session.

To fix, let errfinish() perform an ErrorContext reset if it is
at the outermost error nesting level.  (If it isn't, we'll delay
cleanup until the outermost nesting level is exited.)

The only actual leakage of this sort that I've been able to observe
within our regression tests was recently introduced by commit
f727b63e8.  While it seems plausible that there are other such
leaks not reached in the regression tests, the lack of field
reports suggests that they're not a big problem.  Accordingly,
I won't take the risk of back-patching this now.  We can always
back-patch later if we get field reports of leaks.

b46efe9048 Fix access-to-already-freed-memory issue in pgoutput.
While pgoutput caches relation synchronization information in
RelationSyncCache that resides in CacheMemoryContext, each entry's
information (such as row filter expressions and column lists) is
stored in the entry's private memory context (entry_cxt in
RelationSyncEntry), which is a descendant memory context of the
decoding context. If a logical decoding invoked via SQL functions like
pg_logical_slot_get_binary_changes fails with an error, subsequent
logical decoding executions could access already-freed memory of the
entry's cache, resulting in a crash.

With this change, it's ensured that RelationSyncCache is cleaned up
even in error cases by using a memory context reset callback function.

Backpatch to 15, where entry_cxt was introduced for column filtering
and row filtering.

While the backbranches v13 and v14 have a similar issue where
RelationSyncCache persists even after an error when pgoutput is used
via SQL API, we decided not to backport this fix. This decision was
made because v13 is approaching its final minor release, and we won't
have an chance to fix any new issues that might arise. Additionally,
since using pgoutput via SQL API is not a common use case, the risk
outwights the benefit. If we receive bug reports, we can consider
backporting the fixes then.

ef5e60a9d3 Fix internal error from CollateExpr in SQL/JSON DEFAULT expressions
SQL/JSON functions such as JSON_VALUE could fail with "unrecognized
node type" errors when a DEFAULT clause contained an explicit COLLATE
expression. That happened because assign_collations_walker() could
invoke exprSetCollation() on a JsonBehavior expression whose DEFAULT
still contained a CollateExpr, which exprSetCollation() does not
handle.

For example:

  SELECT JSON_VALUE('{"a":1}', '$.c' RETURNING text
                    DEFAULT 'A' COLLATE "C" ON EMPTY);

Fix by validating in transformJsonBehavior() that the DEFAULT
expression's collation matches the enclosing JSON expression’s
collation. In exprSetCollation(), replace the recursive call on the
JsonBehavior expression with an assertion that its collation already
matches the target, since the parser now enforces that condition.

a5a68dd6d5 Make truncate_useless_pathkeys() consider WindowFuncs
truncate_useless_pathkeys() seems to have neglected to account for
PathKeys that might be useful for WindowClause evaluation.  Modify it so
that it properly accounts for that.

Making this work required adjusting two things:

1. Change from checking query_pathkeys to check sort_pathkeys instead.
2. Add explicit check for window_pathkeys

For #1, query_pathkeys gets set in standard_qp_callback() according to the
sort order requirements for the first operation to be applied after the
join planner is finished, so this changes depending on which upper
planner operations a particular query needs.  If the query has window
functions and no GROUP BY, then query_pathkeys gets set to

5e89985928 bufmgr: Don't lock buffer header in StrategyGetBuffer()
Previously StrategyGetBuffer() acquired the buffer header spinlock for every
buffer, whether it was reusable or not. If reusable, it'd be returned, with
the lock held, to GetVictimBuffer(), which then would pin the buffer with
PinBuffer_Locked(). That's somewhat violating the spirit of the guidelines for
holding spinlocks (i.e. that they are only held for a few lines of consecutive
code) and necessitates using PinBuffer_Locked(), which scales worse than
PinBuffer() due to holding the spinlock.  This alone makes it worth changing
the code.

However, the main reason to change this is that a future commit will make
PinBuffer_Locked() slower (due to making UnlockBufHdr() slower), to gain
scalability for the much more common case of pinning a pre-existing buffer. By
pinning the buffer with a single atomic operation, iff the buffer is reusable,
we avoid any potential regression for miss-heavy workloads. There strictly are
fewer atomic operations for each potential buffer after this change.

The price for this improvement is that freelist.c needs two CAS loops and
needs to be able to set up the resource accounting for pinned buffers. The
latter is achieved by exposing a new function for that purpose from bufmgr.c,
that seems better than exposing the entire private refcount infrastructure.
The improvement seems worth the complexity.

2a2e1b470b bufmgr: Fix signedness of mask variable in BufferSync()
BM_PERMANENT is defined as 1U<<31, which is a negative number when interpreted
as a signed integer. Unfortunately the mask variable in BufferSync() was
signed. This has been wrong for a long time, but failed to fail, due to
integer conversion rules.

However, in an upcoming patch the width of the state variable will be
increased, with the wrong signedness leading to never flushing permanent
buffers - luckily caught in a test.

819dc118c0 Improve ReadRecentBuffer() scalability
While testing a new potential use for ReadRecentBuffer(), Andres
reported that it scales badly when called concurrently for the same
buffer by many backends.  Instead of a naive (but wrong) coding with
PinBuffer(), it used the spinlock, so that it could be careful to pin
only if the buffer was valid and holding the expected block, to avoid
breaking invariants in eg GetVictimBuffer().  Unfortunately that made it
less scalable than PinBuffer(), which uses compare-exchange instead.

We can fix that by giving PinBuffer() a new skip_if_not_valid mode that
doesn't pin invalid buffers.  It might occasionally skip when it
shouldn't due to the unlocked read of the header flags, but that's
unlikely and perfectly acceptable for an opportunistic optimisation
routine, and it can only succeed when it really should due to the
compare-exchange loop.

Note that this fixes ReadRecentBuffer()'s failure to bump the usage
count. While this could be seen as a bug, there currently aren't cases
affected by this in core, so it doesn't seem worth backpatching that portion.

8e11859102 Implement Eager Aggregation
Eager aggregation is a query optimization technique that partially
pushes aggregation past a join, and finalizes it once all the
relations are joined.  Eager aggregation may reduce the number of
input rows to the join and thus could result in a better overall plan.

In the current planner architecture, the separation between the
scan/join planning phase and the post-scan/join phase means that
aggregation steps are not visible when constructing the join tree,
limiting the planner's ability to exploit aggregation-aware
optimizations.  To implement eager aggregation, we collect information
about aggregate functions in the targetlist and HAVING clause, along
with grouping expressions from the GROUP BY clause, and store it in
the PlannerInfo node.  During the scan/join planning phase, this
information is used to evaluate each base or join relation to
determine whether eager aggregation can be applied.  If applicable, we
create a separate RelOptInfo, referred to as a grouped relation, to
represent the partially-aggregated version of the relation and
generate grouped paths for it.

Grouped relation paths can be generated in two ways.  The first method
involves adding sorted and hashed partial aggregation paths on top of
the non-grouped paths.  To limit planning time, we only consider the
cheapest or suitably-sorted non-grouped paths in this step.
Alternatively, grouped paths can be generated by joining a grouped
relation with a non-grouped relation.  Joining two grouped relations
is currently not supported.

To further limit planning time, we currently adopt a strategy where
partial aggregation is pushed only to the lowest feasible level in the
join tree where it provides a significant reduction in row count.
This strategy also helps ensure that all grouped paths for the same
grouped relation produce the same set of rows, which is important to
support a fundamental assumption of the planner.

For the partial aggregation that is pushed down to a non-aggregated
relation, we need to consider all expressions from this relation that
are involved in upper join clauses and include them in the grouping
keys, using compatible operators.  This is essential to ensure that an
aggregated row from the partial aggregation matches the other side of
the join if and only if each row in the partial group does.  This
ensures that all rows within the same partial group share the same
"destiny", which is crucial for maintaining correctness.

One restriction is that we cannot push partial aggregation down to a
relation that is in the nullable side of an outer join, because the
NULL-extended rows produced by the outer join would not be available
when we perform the partial aggregation, while with a
non-eager-aggregation plan these rows are available for the top-level
aggregation.  Pushing partial aggregation in this case may result in
the rows being grouped differently than expected, or produce incorrect
values from the aggregate functions.

If we have generated a grouped relation for the topmost join relation,
we finalize its paths at the end.  The final paths will compete in the
usual way with paths built from regular planning.

The patch was originally proposed by Antonin Houska in 2017.  This
commit reworks various important aspects and rewrites most of the
current code.  However, the original patch and reviews were very
useful.

8c49a484e8 Assign each subquery a unique name prior to planning it.
Previously, subqueries were given names only after they were planned,
which makes it difficult to use information from a previous execution of
the query to guide future planning. If, for example, you knew something
about how you want "InitPlan 2" to be planned, you won't know whether
the subquery you're currently planning will end up being "InitPlan 2"
until after you've finished planning it, by which point it's too late to
use the information that you had.

To fix this, assign each subplan a unique name before we begin planning
it. To improve consistency, use textual names for all subplans, rather
than, as we did previously, a mix of numbers (such as "InitPlan 1") and
names (such as "CTE foo"), and make sure that the same name is never
assigned more than once.

We adopt the somewhat arbitrary convention of using the type of sublink
to set the plan name; for example, a query that previously had two
expression sublinks shown as InitPlan 2 and InitPlan 1 will now end up
named expr_1 and expr_2. Because names are assigned before rather than
after planning, some of the regression test outputs show the numerical
part of the name switching positions: what was previously SubPlan 2 was
actually the first one encountered, but we finished planning it later.

We assign names even to subqueries that aren't shown as such within the
EXPLAIN output. These include subqueries that are a FROM clause item or
a branch of a set operation, rather than something that will be turned
into an InitPlan or SubPlan. The purpose of this is to make sure that,
below the topmost query level, there's always a name for each subquery
that is stable from one planning cycle to the next (assuming no changes
to the query or the database schema).

9c9d41af4d Teach planner to short-circuit EXCEPT/INTERSECT with dummy inputs

any results (a dummy rel), then mark the entire INTERSECT operation as
dummy.

Likewise, if an EXCEPT [ALL] operation's left input is proven empty, then
mark the entire operation as dummy.

With EXCEPT ALL, we can easily handle the right input being dummy as
we can return the left input without any processing.  That can lead to
significant performance gains during query execution.  We can't easily
handle dummy right inputs for EXCEPT (without ALL), as that would require
deduplication of the left input.  Wiring up those Paths is likely more
complex than it's worth as the gains during execution aren't that great,
so let's leave that one to be handled by the normal Path generation code.

That's not going to work when some operation atop of the Result node must

which would lead to:

ERROR:  could not find pathkey item to sort

Instead, use the top-level UNION's targetlist and fix the varnos in

can rewrite those to become varno==1, i.e. use the Vars from the first
UNION child.  This does result in showing Vars from relations that are
not present in the final plan, but that's no different to what we see
when normal base relations are proven dummy.

03d40e4b52 Teach UNION planner to remove dummy inputs
This adjusts UNION planning so that the planner produces more optimal
plans when one or more of the UNION's subqueries have been proven to be
empty (a dummy rel).

If any of the inputs are empty, then that input can be removed from the
Append / MergeAppend.  Previously, a const-false "Result" node would
appear to represent this.  Removing empty inputs has a few extra
benefits when only 1 union child remains as it means the Append or
MergeAppend can be removed in setrefs.c, making the plan slightly faster
to execute.  Also, we can provide better n_distinct estimates by looking
at the sole remaining input rel's statistics.

bms_union() causes a new set to be allocated.  What this caller needs is
members added to an existing set.  bms_add_members() is the tool for
that job.

This is just a matter of fixing an inefficiency due to surplus memory
allocations.  No bugs being fixed.

The only other place I found that might be valid to apply this change is
in markNullableIfNeeded(), but I opted not to do that due to the risk to
reward ratio not looking favorable.  The risk being that there *could* be

54ab748651 Fix reuse-after-free hazard in dead_items_reset
In similar vein to commit ccc8194e42, a reset instance of a shared
memory TID store happened to occupy the same private memory as the old
one for the entry point, since the chunk freed after the last round
of index vacuuming was put on the context's freelist. The failure
to update the vacrel->dead_items pointer was evident by nudging the
system to allocate memory in a different area. This was not discovered
at the time of the earlier commit since our regression tests didn't
cover multiple index passes with parallel vacuum.

25a30bbd42 Add IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option to Window functions.
Add IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option (null treatment clause) to lead,
lag, first_value, last_value and nth_value window functions.  If
unspecified, the default is RESPECT NULLS which includes NULL values
in any result calculation. IGNORE NULLS ignores NULL values.

Built-in window functions are modified to call new API
WinCheckAndInitializeNullTreatment() to indicate whether they accept
IGNORE NULLS/RESPECT NULLS option or not (the API can be called by
user defined window functions as well).  If WinGetFuncArgInPartition's
allowNullTreatment argument is true and IGNORE NULLS option is given,
WinGetFuncArgInPartition() or WinGetFuncArgInFrame() will return
evaluated function's argument expression on specified non NULL row (if
it exists) in the partition or the frame.

When IGNORE NULLS option is given, window functions need to visit and
evaluate same rows over and over again to look for non null rows. To
mitigate the issue, 2-bit not null information array is created while
executing window functions to remember whether the row has been
already evaluated to NULL or NOT NULL. If already evaluated, we could
skip the evaluation work, thus we could get better performance.

This commit makes the order of the checks consistent between
XLogNeedsFlush() and UpdateMinRecoveryPoint(), improving the code
clarity.  Note that the second check (as ordered by this commit) relies
on InRecovery, which is true only in the startup process.  So this makes
XLogNeedsFlush() cheaper in the startup process with the first check
acting as a shortcut while doing crash recovery, where
LocalMinRecoveryPoint is an invalid LSN.

ef38a4d975 Add GROUP BY ALL.
GROUP BY ALL is a form of GROUP BY that adds any TargetExpr that does
not contain an aggregate or window function into the groupClause of
the query, making it exactly equivalent to specifying those same
expressions in an explicit GROUP BY list.

This feature is useful for certain kinds of data exploration.  It's
already present in some other DBMSes, and the SQL committee recently
accepted it into the standard, so we can be reasonably confident in
the syntax being stable.  We do have to invent part of the semantics,
as the standard doesn't allow for expressions in GROUP BY, so they
haven't specified what to do with window functions.  We assume that
those should be treated like aggregates, i.e., left out of the
constructed GROUP BY list.

In passing, wordsmith some existing documentation about GROUP BY,
and update some neglected synopsis entries in select_into.sgml.

2cb49c609b Improve planner's width estimates for set operations
For UNION, EXCEPT and INTERSECT, we were not very good at estimating the
PathTarget.width for the set operation.  Since the targetlist of the set
operation is made up of Vars with varno==0, this would result in
get_expr_width() applying a default estimate based on the Var's type
rather than taking width estimates from any relation's statistics.

Here we attempt to improve the situation by looking at the width estimates
for the set operation child paths and calculating the average width of the
relevant child paths weighted over the estimated number of rows.  For
UNION and INTERSECT, the relevant paths to look at are *all* child paths.
For EXCEPT, since we don't return rows from the right-hand child (only
possibly remove left-hand rows matching those), we use only the left-hand
child for width estimates.

This also adjusts the hashed-UNION Path's PathTarget to use the same
PathTarget as its Append subpath.  Both PathTargets will be the same and
are void of any resjunk columns, per generate_append_tlist().  Making
the AggPath use the same PathTarget saves having to adjust the "width"
of the AggPath's PathTarget too.

This was reported as a bug by sunw.fnst, but it's not something we ever
claimed to do properly.  Plus, if we were to adjust this in back
branches, plans could change as the estimated input sizes to Sorts and
Hash Aggregates could go up or down.  Plan choices aren't something we
want to destabilize in stable versions.

7bd2975fa9 Add support for tracking of entry count in pgstats
Stats kinds can set a new option called "track_entry_count" (disabled by
default, available for variable-numbered stats) that will make pgstats
track the number of entries that exist in its shared hashtable.

As there is only one code path where a new entry is added, and one code
path where entries are freed, the count tracking is straight-forward in
its implementation.  Reads of these counters are optimistic, and may
change across two calls.  The counter is incremented when an entry is
created (not when reused), and is decremented when an entry is freed
from the hashtable (marked for drop with its refcount reaching 0), which
is something that pgstats decides internally.

A first use case of this facility would be pg_stat_statements, where we
need to be able to cap the number of entries that would be stored in the
shared hashtable, based on its "max" GUC.  The module currently relies
on hash_get_num_entries(), which offers a cheap way to count how many
entries are in its hash table, but we cannot do that in pgstats for
variable-sized stats kinds as a single hashtable is used for all the
stats kinds.  Independently of PGSS, this is useful for other custom
stats kinds that want to cap, control, or track the number of entries
they have, without depending on a potentially expensive sequential scan
to know the number of entries while holding an extra exclusive lock.

b0fb2c6aa5 Refactor to avoid code duplication in transformPLAssignStmt.
transformPLAssignStmt contained many lines cribbed directly from
transformSelectStmt.  I had supposed that we could manage to keep
the two copies in sync, but the bug just fixed in 7504d2be9 shows
that that hope was foolish.  Let's refactor so there's just one copy.

The main stumbling block to doing this is that transformPLAssignStmt
has a chunk of custom code that has to run after transformTargetList
but before we potentially modify the tlist further during analysis
of ORDER BY and GROUP BY.  Rather than make transformSelectStmt fully
aware of PLAssignStmt processing, I put that code into a callback
function.  It still feels a little bit ugly, but it's not too awful,
and surely it's better than a hundred lines of duplicated code.
The steps involved in processing a PLAssignStmt remain exactly
the same as before, just in different places.

7504d2be9e Fix missed copying of groupDistinct in transformPLAssignStmt.
Because we failed to do this, DISTINCT in GROUP BY DISTINCT would be
ignored in PL/pgSQL assignment statements.  It's not surprising that
no one noticed, since such statements will throw an error if the query
produces more than one row.  That eliminates most scenarios where
advanced forms of GROUP BY could be useful, and indeed makes it hard
even to find a simple test case.  Nonetheless it's wrong.

This is directly the fault of be45be9c3 which added the groupDistinct
field, but I think much of the blame has to fall on c9d529848, in
which I incautiously supposed that we'd manage to keep two copies of
a big chunk of parse-analysis logic in sync.  As a follow-up, I plan
to refactor so that there's only one copy.  But that seems useful
only in master, so let's use this one-line fix for the back branches.

85e0ff62b6 Improve stability of btree page split on ERRORs
This improves the stability of VACUUM when processing btree indexes,
which was previously able to trigger an assertion failure in
_bt_lock_subtree_parent() when an error was previously thrown outside
the scope of _bt_split() when splitting a btree page.  VACUUM would
consider the index as in a corrupted state as the right page would not
be zeroed for the error thrown (allocation failure is one pattern).

In a non-assert build, VACUUM is able to succeed, reporting what it sees
as a corruption while attempting to fix the index.  This would manifest
as a LOG message, as of:
LOG: failed to re-find parent key in index "idx" for deletion target
page N
CONTEXT:  while vacuuming index "idx" of relation "public.tab"

This commit improves the code to rely on two PGAlignedBlocks that are
used as a temporary space for the left and right pages.  The main change
concerns the right page, whose contents are now copied into the
"temporary" PGAlignedBlock page while its original space is zeroed.  Its
contents are moved from the PGAlignedBlock page back to the page once we
enter in the critical section used for the split.  This simplifies the
split logic, as it is not necessary to zero the right page before
throwing an error anymore.  Hence errors can now be thrown outside the
split code.  For the left page, this shaves one allocation, with
PageGetTempPage() being previously used.

The previous logic originates from commit 8fa30f906b, at a point where
PGAlignedBlock did not exist yet.  This could be argued as something
that should be backpatched, but the lack of complaints indicates that it
may not be necessary.

02c4bc8830 Try to avoid floating-point roundoff error in pg_sleep().
I noticed the surprising behavior that pg_sleep(0.001) will sleep
for 2ms not the expected 1ms.  Apparently the float8 calculation of
time-to-sleep is managing to produce something a hair over 1, which
ceil() rounds up to 2, and then WaitLatch() faithfully waits 2ms.
It could be that this works as-expected for some ranges of current
timestamp but not others, which would account for not having seen
it before.  In any case, let's try to avoid it by removing the
float arithmetic in the delay calculation.  We're stuck with the
declared input type being float8, but we can convert that to integer
microseconds right away, and then work strictly with integral values.
There might still be roundoff surprises for certain input values,
but at least the behavior won't be time-varying.

5334620eef Update GB18030 encoding from version 2000 to 2022
Mappings for 18 characters have changed, affecting 36 code points. This
is a break in compatibility, but these characters are rarely used.

U+E5E5 (Private Use Area) was previously mapped to \xA3A0. This code
point now maps to \x65356535. Attempting to convert \xA3A0 will now
raise an error.

Separate from the 2022 update, the following mappings were previously
swapped, and subsequently corrected in 2000 and later versions:
 * U+E7C7 (Private Use Area) now maps to \x8135F437
 * U+1E3F (Latin Small Letter M with Acute) now maps to \xA8BC

The 2022 standard mentions the following policy changes, but they
have no effect in our implementation:

66 new ideographs are now required, but these are mapped
algorithmically so were already handled by utf8_and_gb18030.c.

Nine CJK compatibility ideographs are no longer required, but
implementations may retain them, as does the source we use from
the Unicode Consortium.

e41d954da6 Fix LOCK_TIMEOUT handling during parallel apply.
Previously, the parallel apply worker used SIGINT to receive a graceful
shutdown signal from the leader apply worker. However, SIGINT is also used
by the LOCK_TIMEOUT handler to trigger a query-cancel interrupt. This
overlap caused the parallel apply worker to miss LOCK_TIMEOUT signals,
leading to incorrect behavior during lock wait/contention.

This patch resolves the conflict by switching the graceful shutdown signal
from SIGINT to SIGUSR2.

f2bae51dfd Keep track of what RTIs a Result node is scanning.
Result nodes now include an RTI set, which is only non-NULL when they
have no subplan, and is taken from the relid set of the RelOptInfo that
the Result is generating. ExplainPreScanNode now takes notice of these
RTIs, which means that a few things get schema-qualified in the
regression tests that previously did not. This makes the output more
consistent between cases where some part of the plan tree is replaced by
a Result node and those where this does not happen.

Likewise, pg_overexplain's EXPLAIN (RANGE_TABLE) now displays the RTIs
stored in a Result node just as it already does for other RTI-bearing
node types.

Result nodes also now include a result_reason, which tells us something
about why the Result node was inserted.  Using that information, EXPLAIN
now emits, where relevant, a "Replaces" line describing the origin of
a Result node.

The purpose of these changes is to allow code that inspects a Plan
tree to understand the origin of Result nodes that appear therein.

261f89a976 Track the maximum possible frequency of non-MCE array elements.
The lossy-counting algorithm that ANALYZE uses to identify most-common
array elements has a notion of cutoff frequency: elements with
frequency greater than that are guaranteed to be collected, elements
with smaller frequencies are not.  In cases where we find fewer MCEs
than the stats target would permit us to store, the cutoff frequency
provides valuable additional information, to wit that there are no
non-MCEs with frequency greater than that.  What the selectivity
estimation functions actually use the "minfreq" entry for is as a
ceiling on the possible frequency of non-MCEs, so using the cutoff
rather than the lowest stored MCE frequency provides a tighter bound
and more accurate estimates.

Therefore, instead of redundantly storing the minimum observed MCE
frequency, store the cutoff frequency when there are fewer tracked
values than we want.  (When there are more, then of course we cannot
assert that no non-stored elements are above the cutoff frequency,
since we're throwing away some that are; so we still use the
minimum stored frequency in that case.)

Notably, this works even when none of the values are common enough
to be called MCEs.  In such cases we previously stored nothing in
the STATISTIC_KIND_MCELEM pg_statistic slot, which resulted in the
selectivity functions falling back to default estimates.  So in that
case we want to construct a STATISTIC_KIND_MCELEM entry that contains
no "values" but does have "numbers", to wit the three extra numbers
that the MCELEM entry type defines.  A small obstacle is that
update_attstats() has traditionally stored a null, not an empty array,
when passed zero "values" for a slot.  That gives rise to an MCELEM
entry that get_attstatsslot() will spit up on.  The least risky
solution seems to be to adjust update_attstats() so that it will emit
a non-null (but possibly empty) array when the passed stavalues array
pointer isn't NULL, rather than conditioning that on numvalues > 0.
In other existing cases I don't believe that that changes anything.
For consistency, handle the stanumbers array the same way.

In passing, improve the comments in routines that use
STATISTIC_KIND_MCELEM data.  Particularly, explain why we use
minfreq / 2 not minfreq as the estimate for non-MCE values.

Thanks to Matt Long for the suggestion that we could apply this
idea even when there are more than zero MCEs.

1eccb93150 Re-allow using statistics for bool-valued functions in WHERE.
Commit a391ff3c3, which added the ability for a function's support
function to provide a custom selectivity estimate for "WHERE f(...)",
unintentionally removed the possibility of applying expression
statistics after finding there's no applicable support function.
That happened because we no longer fell through to boolvarsel()
as before.  Refactor to do so again, putting the 0.3333333 default
back into boolvarsel() where it had been (cf. commit 39df0f150).

I surely wouldn't have made this error if 39df0f150 had included
a test case, so add one now.  At the time we did not have the
"extended statistics" infrastructure, but we do now, and it is
also unable to work in this scenario because of this error.
So make use of that for the test case.

This is very clearly a bug fix, but I'm afraid to put it into
released branches because of the likelihood of altering plan
choices, which we avoid doing in minor releases.  So, master only.

5b148706c5 Add optional pid parameter to pg_replication_origin_session_setup().
Commit 216a784829 introduced parallel apply workers, allowing multiple
processes to share a replication origin. To support this,
replorigin_session_setup() was extended to accept a pid argument
identifying the process using the origin.

This commit exposes that capability through the SQL interface function
pg_replication_origin_session_setup() by adding an optional pid parameter.
This enables multiple processes to coordinate replication using the same
origin when using SQL-level replication functions.

This change allows the non-builtin logical replication solutions to
implement parallel apply for large transactions.

Additionally, an existing internal error was made user-facing, as it can
now be triggered via the exposed SQL API.

deb208df45 Make XLogFlush() and XLogNeedsFlush() decision-making more consistent
When deciding which code path to use depending on the state of recovery,
XLogFlush() and XLogNeedsFlush() have been relying on different
criterias:
- XLogFlush() relied on XLogInsertAllowed().
- XLogNeedsFlush() relied on RecoveryInProgress().

Currently, the checkpointer is allowed to insert WAL records while
RecoveryInProgress() returns true for an end-of-recovery checkpoint,
where XLogInsertAllowed() matters.  Using RecoveryInProgress() in
XLogNeedsFlush() did not really matter for its existing callers, as the
checkpointer only called XLogFlush().  However, a feature under
discussion, by Melanie Plageman, needs XLogNeedsFlush() to be able to
work in more contexts, the end-of-recovery checkpoint being one.

This commit changes XLogNeedsFlush() to use XLogInsertAllowed() instead
of RecoveryInProgress(), making the checks in both routines more
consistent.  While on it, an assertion based on XLogNeedsFlush() is
added at the end of XLogFlush(), triggered when flushing a physical
position (not for the normal recovery patch that checks for updates of
the minimum recovery point).  This assertion would fail for example in
the recovery test 015_promotion_pages if XLogNeedsFlush() is changed to
use RecoveryInProgress().  This should be hopefully enough to ensure
that the checks done in both routines remain consistent.

8741e48e5d Fix EPQ crash from missing partition pruning state in EState
Commit bb3ec16e14 moved partition pruning metadata into PlannedStmt.
At executor startup this metadata is used to initialize the EState
fields es_part_prune_infos, es_part_prune_states, and
es_part_prune_results.  EvalPlanQualStart() failed to copy those
fields into the child EState, causing NULL dereference when Append
ran partition pruning during a recheck. This can occur with DELETE
or UPDATE on partitioned tables that use runtime pruning, e.g. with
generic plans.

Fix by copying all partition pruning state into the EPQ estate.

Add an isolation test that reproduces the crash with concurrent
UPDATE and DELETE on a partitioned table, where the DELETE session
hits the crash during its EPQ recheck after the UPDATE commits.

3cd3a039da Document and check that PgStat_HashKey has no padding
This change is a tighter rework of 7d85d87f4d, which tried to improve
the code so as it would work should PgStat_HashKey gain new fields that
create padding bytes.  However, the previous change is proving to not be
enough as some code paths of pgstats do not pass PgStat_HashKey by
reference (valgrind would warn when padding is added to the structure,
through a new field).

Per discussion, let's document and check that PgStat_HashKey has no
padding rather than try to complicate the code of pgstats so as it is
able to work around that.

This removes a couple of memset(0) calls that should not be required.
While on it, this commit adds a static assertion checking that no
padding is introduced in the structure, by checking that the size of
PgStat_HashKey matches with the sum of the size of all its fields.

The object ID part of the hash key is already 8 bytes, which should be
plenty enough already.  A comment is added to discourage the addition of
new fields.

The EvalPlanQual recheck for TID Range Scan wasn't rechecking the TID qual
still passed after following update chains.  This could result in tuples
being updated or deleted by plans using TID Range Scans where the ctid of
the new (updated) tuple no longer matches the clause of the scan.  This
isn't desired behavior, and isn't consistent with what would happen if the
chosen plan had used an Index or Seq Scan, and that could lead to hard to
predict behavior for scans that contain TID quals and other quals as the
planner has freedom to choose TID Range or some other non-TID scan method
for such queries, and the chosen plan could change at any moment.

Here we fix this by properly implementing the recheck function for TID
Range Scans.

8abbbbae61 Revert "Avoid race condition between "GRANT role" and "DROP ROLE"".
This reverts commit 98fc31d649.
That change allowed DROP OWNED BY to drop grants of the target
role to other roles, arguing that nobody would need those
privileges anymore.  But that's not so: if you're not superuser,
you still need admin privilege on the target role so you can
drop it.

It's not clear whether or how the dependency-based approach
to solving the original problem can be adapted to keep these
grants.  Since v18 release is fast approaching, the sanest
thing to do seems to be to revert this patch for now.  The
race-condition problem is low severity and not worth taking
risks for.

I didn't force a catversion bump in 98fc31d64, so I won't do
so here either.

83a5641945 Provide more-specific error details/hints for function lookup failures.
Up to now we've contented ourselves with a one-size-fits-all error
hint when we fail to find any match to a function or procedure call.
That was mostly okay in the beginning, but it was never great, and
since the introduction of named arguments it's really not adequate.
We at least ought to distinguish "function name doesn't exist" from
"function name exists, but not with those argument names".  And the
rules for named-argument matching are arcane enough that some more
detail seems warranted if we match the argument names but the call
still doesn't work.

This patch creates a framework for dealing with these problems:
FuncnameGetCandidates and related code will now pass back a bitmask of
flags showing how far the match succeeded.  This allows a considerable
amount of granularity in the reports.  The set-bits-in-a-bitmask
approach means that when there are multiple candidate functions, the
report will reflect the match(es) that got the furthest, which seems
correct.  Also, we can avoid mentioning "maybe add casts" unless
failure to match argument types is actually the issue.

Extend the same return-a-bitmask approach to OpernameGetCandidates.
The issues around argument names don't apply to operator syntax,
but it still seems worth distinguishing between "there is no
operator of that name" and "we couldn't match the argument types".

While at it, adjust these messages and related ones to more strictly
separate "detail" from "hint", following our message style guidelines'
distinction between those.

b63a822452 Treat JsonConstructorExpr as non-strict
JsonConstructorExpr can produce non-NULL output with a NULL input, so
it should be treated as a non-strict construct.  Failing to do so can
lead to incorrect query behavior.

For example, in the reported case, when pulling up a subquery that is
under an outer join, if the subquery's target list contains a
JsonConstructorExpr that uses subquery variables and it is mistakenly
treated as strict, it will be pulled up without being wrapped in a
PlaceHolderVar.  As a result, the expression will be evaluated at the
wrong place and will not be forced to null when the outer join should
do so.

Back-patch to v16 where JsonConstructorExpr was introduced.

cfa6cd2927 Generate GB18030 mappings from the Unicode Consortium's UCM file
Previously we built the .map files for GB18030 (version 2000) from an
XML file. The 2022 version for this encoding is only available as a
Unicode Character Mapping (UCM) file, so as preparatory refactoring
switch to this format as the source for building version 2000.

As we do with most input files for the conversion mappings, download
the file on demand. In order to generate the same mappings we have
now, we must download from a previous upstream commit, rather than
the head since the latter contains a correction not present in our
current .map files.

The XML file is still used by EUC_CN, so we cannot delete it from our
repository. GB18030 is a superset of EUC_CN, so it may be possible to
build EUC_CN from the same UCM file, but that is left for future work.

7d9cd2df5f Teach nbtree to avoid evaluating row compare keys.
Add logic to _bt_set_startikey that determines whether row compare keys
are guaranteed to be satisfied by every tuple on a page that is about to
be read by _bt_readpage.  This works in essentially the same way as the
existing scalar inequality logic.  Testing has shown that the new logic
improves performance to about the same degree as the existing scalar
inequality logic (compared to the unoptimized case).  In other words,
the new logic makes many row compare scans significantly faster.

Note that the new row compare inequality logic is only effective when
the same individual row member is the deciding subkey for all tuples on
the page (obviously, all tuples have to satisfy the row compare, too).
This is what makes the new row compare logic very similar to the
existing logic for scalar inequalities.  Note, in particular, that this
makes it safe to ignore whether all row compare members are against
either ASC or DESC index attributes (i.e. it doesn't matter if
individual subkeys don't all use the same inequality strategy).

Also stop refusing to set pstate.startikey to an offset beyond any
nonrequired key (don't add logic that'll do that for an individual row
compare subkey, either).  We can fully rely on our firstchangingattnum
tests instead.  This will do the right thing when a page has a group of
tuples with NULLs in a lower-order attribute that makes the tuples fail
to satisfy a row compare key -- we won't incorrectly conclude that all
tuples must satisfy the row compare, just because firsttup and lasttup
happen to.  Our firstchangingattnum test prevents that from happening.
(Note that the original "avoid evaluating nbtree scan keys" mechanism
added by commit e0b1ee17 couldn't support row compares due to issues
with tuples that contain NULLs in a lower-order subkey's attribute.
That original mechanism relied on requiredness markings, which the
replacement _bt_set_startikey mechanism never really needed.)

Follow up to commit 8a510275, which added the _bt_set_startikey
optimization.  _bt_set_startikey is now feature complete; there's no
remaining kind of nbtree scan key that it still doesn't support.

454c046094 nbtree: Always set skipScan flag on rescan.
The TimescaleDB extension expects to be able to change an nbtree scan's
keys across rescans.  The issue arises in the extension's implementation
of loose index scan.  This is arguably a misuse of the index AM API,
though apparently it worked until recently.  It stopped working when the
skipScan flag was added to BTScanOpaqueData by commit 8a510275, though.
The flag wouldn't reliably track whether the scan (actually, the current
rescan) has any skip arrays, leading to confusion in _bt_set_startikey.

nbtree preprocessing will now defensively initialize the scan's skipScan
flag in all cases, including the case where _bt_preprocess_array_keys
returns early due to the (re)scan not using arrays.  While nbtree isn't
obligated to support this use case (at least not according to my reading
of the index AM API), it still seems like a good idea to be consistent
here, on general robustness grounds.

cdf7feb965 Amend recent fix for SIMILAR TO regex conversion.
Commit e3ffc3e91 fixed the translation of character classes in
SIMILAR TO regular expressions.  Unfortunately the fix broke a corner
case: if there is an escape character right after the opening bracket
(for example in "[\q]"), a closing bracket right after the escape
sequence would not be seen as closing the character class.

There were two more oversights: a backslash or a nested opening bracket
right at the beginning of a character class should remove the special
meaning from any following caret or closing bracket.

This bug suggests that this code needs to be more readable, so also
rename the variables "charclass_depth" and "charclass_start" to
something more meaningful, rewrite an "if" cascade to be more
consistent, and improve the commentary.

796962922e Always commute strategy when preprocessing DESC keys.
A recently added nbtree preprocessing step failed to account for the
fact that DESC columns already had their B-Tree strategy number commuted
at this point in preprocessing.  As a result, preprocessing could output
a set of scan keys where one or more keys had the correct strategy
number, but used the wrong comparison routine.

To fix, make the faulty code path that looks up a more restrictive
replacement operator/comparison routine commute its requested inequality
strategy (while outputting the transformed strategy number as before).
This makes the final transformed scan key comport with the approach
preprocessing has always used to deal with DESC columns (which is
described by comments above _bt_fix_scankey_strategy).

Oversight in commit commit b3f1a13f, which made nbtree preprocessing
perform transformations on skip array inequalities that can reduce the
total number of index searches.

Avoid unexpected changes of CurrentResourceOwner and CurrentMemoryContext
Users of logical decoding can encounter an unexpected change of

unlike other call sites of RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction(), in
reorderbuffer.c we fail to restore the original values of these global
variables after being clobbered by subtransaction abort.  This patch
saves the values prior to the call and restores them eventually.

In addition, logical.c and logicalfuncs.c had a hack to restore resource
owner, presumably because of lack of this restore.  Remove that.
Instead, because the test coverage here is not very consistent, add an
Assert() to ensure that the resowner is kept identical; this would make
it easy to detect other cases of bugs were we fail to restore resowner
properly.  This could be removed later.

This is arguably an old bug, but there appears to be no reason to
backpatch it and it's risky to do so, so refrain for now.

now are the offsets stored in VACUUM_ONE_PAGE.  We could perhaps add
them, if somebody sees value in this data, even if it makes the output
larger.  These are discarded here.

ed1aad15e0 Move named LWLock tranche requests to shared memory.
In EXEC_BACKEND builds, GetNamedLWLockTranche() can segfault when
called outside of the postmaster process, as it might access
NamedLWLockTrancheRequestArray, which won't be initialized.  Given
the lack of reports, this is apparently unusual, presumably because
it is usually called from a shmem_startup_hook like this:

    mystruct = ShmemInitStruct(..., &found);
    if (!found)
    {
        mystruct->locks = GetNamedLWLockTranche(...);
        ...
    }

This genre of shmem_startup_hook evades the aforementioned
segfaults because the struct is initialized in the postmaster, so
all other callers skip the !found path.

We considered modifying the documentation or requiring
GetNamedLWLockTranche() to be called from the postmaster, but
ultimately we decided to simply move the request array to shared
memory (and add it to the BackendParameters struct), thereby
allowing calls outside postmaster on all platforms.  Since the main
shared memory segment is initialized after accepting LWLock tranche
requests, postmaster builds the request array in local memory first
and then copies it to shared memory later.

Given the lack of reports, back-patching seems unnecessary.

a0b99fc122 Report the correct is_temporary flag for column defaults.
pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects() would report a column default
object with is_temporary = false, even if it belongs to a
temporary table.  This seems clearly wrong, so adjust it to
report the table's temp-ness.

While here, refactor EventTriggerSQLDropAddObject to make its
handling of namespace objects less messy and avoid duplication
of the schema-lookup code.  And add some explicit test coverage
of dropped-object reports for dependencies of temp tables.

Back-patch to v15.  The bug exists further back, but the
GetAttrDefaultColumnAddress function this patch depends on does not,
and it doesn't seem worth adjusting it to cope with the older code.

09036dc71c Avoid faulty alignment of Datums in build_sorted_items().
If sizeof(Pointer) is 4 then sizeof(SortItem) will be 12, so that
if data->numrows is odd then we placed the values array at a location
that's not a multiple of 8.  That was fine when sizeof(Datum) was also
4, but in the wake of commit 2a600a93c it makes some alignment-picky
machines unhappy.  (You need a 32-bit machine that nonetheless expects
8-byte alignment of 8-byte quantities, which is an odd-seeming
combination but it does exist outside the Intel universe.)

To fix, MAXALIGN the space allocated to the SortItem array.
In passing, let's make the "len" variable be Size not int,
just for paranoia's sake.

bdc6cfcd12 Eliminate duplicative hashtempcxt in nodeSubplan.c.
Instead of building a separate memory context that's used just
for running hash functions, make the hash functions run in the
per-tuple context of the node's innerecontext.  This saves a
little space at runtime, and it avoids needing to reset two
contexts instead of one inside buildSubPlanHash's main loop.

This largely reverts commit 133924e13.  That's safe to do now
because bf6c614a2 decoupled the evaluation context used by
TupleHashTableMatch from that used for hash function evaluation,
so that there's no longer a risk of resetting the innerecontext
too soon.

Per discussion of bug #19040, although this is not directly
a fix for that.

abdeacdb09 Fix memory leakage in nodeSubplan.c.
If the hash functions used for hashing tuples leaked any memory,
we failed to clean that up, resulting in query-lifespan memory
leakage in queries using hashed subplans.  One way that could
happen is if the values being hashed require de-toasting, since
most of our hash functions don't trouble to clean up de-toasted
inputs.

Prior to commit bf6c614a2, this leakage was largely masked
because TupleHashTableMatch would reset hashtable->tempcxt
(via execTuplesMatch).  But it doesn't do that anymore, and
that's not really the right place for this anyway: doing it
there could reset the tempcxt many times per hash lookup,
or not at all.  Instead put reset calls into ExecHashSubPlan
and buildSubPlanHash.  Along the way to that, rearrange
ExecHashSubPlan so that there's just one place to call
MemoryContextReset instead of several.

This amounts to accepting the de-facto API spec that the caller
of the TupleHashTable routines is responsible for resetting the
tempcxt adequately often.  Although the other callers seem to
get this right, it was not documented anywhere, so add a comment
about it.

b1187266e0 Replace callers of dynahash.h's my_log() by equivalent in pg_bitutils.h
All the calls replaced by this commit use 4-byte integers for their
variables used in input of my_log2().  Hence, the limit against
too-large inputs does not really apply.  Thresholds are also applied, as
of:
- In nodeAgg.c, the number of partitions is limited by
HASHAGG_MAX_PARTITIONS.
- In nodeHash.c, ExecChooseHashTableSize() caps its maximum number of
buckets based on HashJoinTuple and palloc() allocation limit.
- In worker.c, the number of subxacts tracked by ApplySubXactData uses
uint32, making pg_ceil_log2_64() safe to use directly.

Several approaches have been discussed, like an integration with
thresholds in pg_bitutils.h, but it was found confusing.  This uses
Dean's idea, which gives a simpler result than what I came up with to be
able to remove dynahash.h.  dynahash.h will be removed in a follow-up

3bcfcd815e pg_upgrade: Transfer pg_largeobject_metadata's files when possible.
Commit 161a3e8b68 taught pg_upgrade to use COPY for large object
metadata for upgrades from v12 and newer, which is much faster to
restore than the proper large object commands.  For upgrades from
v16 and newer, we can take this a step further and transfer the
large object metadata files as if they were user tables.  We can't
transfer the files from older versions because the aclitem data
type (needed by pg_largeobject_metadata.lomacl) changed its storage
format in v16 (see commit 7b378237aa).  Note that this commit is
essentially a revert of commit 12a53c732c.

There are a couple of caveats.  First, we still need to COPY the
corresponding pg_shdepend rows for large objects.  Second, we need
to COPY anything in pg_largeobject_metadata with a comment or
security label, else restoring those will fail.  This means that an
upgrade in which every large object has a comment or security label
won't gain anything from this commit, but it should at least avoid
making those unusual use-cases any worse.

pg_upgrade must also take care to transfer the relfilenodes of
pg_largeobject_metadata and its index, as was done for
pg_largeobject in commits d498e052b4 and bbe08b8869.

test output changes: wherever rte->alias previously had a value and

what we were doing for aliases.

The upshot is that instead of "*SELECT*" or "*SELECT* %d",

3399c26554 Remove unneeded VM pin from VM replay
Previously, heap_xlog_visible() called visibilitymap_pin() even after
getting a buffer from XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended() -- which returns a
pinned buffer containing the specified block of the visibility map.

This would just have resulted in visibilitymap_pin() returning early
since the specified page was already present and pinned, but it was
confusing extraneous code, so remove it. It doesn't seem worth
backporting, though.

It appears to be an oversight in 2c03216.

While we are at it, remove two VM-related redundant asserts in the COPY
FREEZE code path. visibilitymap_set() already asserts that
PD_ALL_VISIBLE is set on the heap page and checks that the vmbuffer
contains the bits corresponding to the specified heap block, so callers
do not also need to check this.

8191e0c16a Fix corruption of pgstats shared hashtable due to OOM failures
A new pgstats entry is created as a two-step process:
- The entry is looked at in the shared hashtable of pgstats, and is
inserted if not found.
- When not found and inserted, its fields are then initialized.  This
part include a DSA chunk allocation for the stats data of the new entry.

As currently coded, if the DSA chunk allocation fails due to an
out-of-memory failure, an ERROR is generated, leaving in the pgstats
shared hashtable an inconsistent entry due to the first step, as the
entry has already been inserted in the hashtable.  These broken entries
can then be found by other backends, crashing them.

There are only two callers of pgstat_init_entry(), when loading the
pgstats file at startup and when creating a new pgstats entry.  This
commit changes pgstat_init_entry() so as we use dsa_allocate_extended()
with DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM, making it return NULL on allocation failure
instead of failing.  This way, a backend failing an entry creation can
take appropriate cleanup actions in the shared hashtable before throwing
an error.  Currently, this means removing the entry from the shared
hashtable before throwing the error for the allocation failure.

Out-of-memory errors unlikely happen in the wild, and we do not bother
with back-patches when these are fixed, usually.  However, the problem
dealt with here is a degree worse as it breaks the shared memory state
of pgstats, impacting other processes that may look at an inconsistent
entry that a different process has failed to create.

1f7e9ba3ac Post-commit review fixes for 228c370868.
This commit fixes three issues:

1) When a disabled subscription is created with retain_dead_tuples set to true,
the launcher is not woken up immediately, which may lead to delays in creating
the conflict detection slot.

Creating the conflict detection slot is essential even when the subscription is
not enabled. This ensures that dead tuples are retained, which is necessary for
accurately identifying the type of conflict during replication.

2) Conflict-related data was unnecessarily retained when the subscription does
not have a table.

3) Conflict-relevant data could be prematurely removed before applying
prepared transactions on the publisher that are in the commit critical section.

This issue occurred because the backend executing COMMIT PREPARED was not
accounted for during the computation of oldestXid in the commit phase on
the publisher. As a result, the subscriber could advance the conflict
slot's xmin without waiting for such COMMIT PREPARED transactions to
complete.

We fixed this issue by identifying prepared transactions that are in the
commit critical section during computation of oldestXid in commit phase.

2c78940527 bufmgr: Remove freelist, always use clock-sweep
This set of changes removes the list of available buffers and instead simply
uses the clock-sweep algorithm to find and return an available buffer.  This
also removes the have_free_buffer() function and simply caps the
pg_autoprewarm process to at most NBuffers.

While on the surface this appears to be removing an optimization it is in fact
eliminating code that induces overhead in the form of synchronization that is
problematic for multi-core systems.

6ede13d1b5 Fix concurrent update issue with MERGE.
When executing a MERGE UPDATE action, if there is more than one
concurrent update of the target row, the lock-and-retry code would
sometimes incorrectly identify the latest version of the target tuple,
leading to incorrect results.

This was caused by using the ctid field from the TM_FailureData
returned by table_tuple_lock() in a case where the result was TM_Ok,
which is unsafe because the TM_FailureData struct is not guaranteed to
be fully populated in that case. Instead, it should use the tupleid
passed to (and updated by) table_tuple_lock().

To reduce the chances of similar errors in the future, improve the
commentary for table_tuple_lock() and TM_FailureData to make it
clearer that table_tuple_lock() updates the tid passed to it, and most
fields of TM_FailureData should not be relied on in non-failure cases.
An exception to this is the "traversed" field, which is set in both
success and failure cases.

4246a977ba Switch some numeric-related functions to use soft error reporting
This commit changes some functions related to the data type numeric to
use the soft error reporting rather than a custom boolean flag (called
"have_error") that callers of these functions could rely on to bypass
the generation of ERROR reports, letting the callers do their own error
handling (timestamp, jsonpath and numeric_to_char() require them).

This results in the removal of some boilerplate code that was required
to handle both the ereport() and the "have_error" code paths bypassing
ereport(), unifying everything under the soft error reporting facility.

While on it, some duplicated error messages are removed.  The function
upgraded in this commit were suffixed with "_opt_error" in their names.
They are renamed to "_safe" instead.

This change relies on d9f7f5d32f, that has introduced the soft error
reporting infrastructure.

ae45312008 Change pg_lsn_in_internal() to use soft error reporting
pg_lsn includes pg_lsn_in_internal() for the purpose of parsing a LSN
position for the GUC recovery_target_lsn (21f428ebde).  It relies on a
boolean called "have_error" that would be set when the LSN parsing
fails, then let its callers handle any errors.

d9f7f5d32f has added support for soft error reporting.  This commit
removes some boilerplate code and switches the routine to use soft error
reporting directly, giving to the callers of pg_lsn_in_internal()
the possibility to be fed the error message generated on failure.

pg_lsn_in_internal() routine is renamed to pg_lsn_in_safe(), for
consistency with other similar routines that are given an escontext.

38b602b028 Move dynamically-allocated LWLock tranche names to shared memory.
There are two ways for shared libraries to allocate their own
LWLock tranches.  One way is to call RequestNamedLWLockTranche() in
a shmem_request_hook, which requires the library to be loaded via
shared_preload_libraries.  The other way is to call
LWLockNewTrancheId(), which is not subject to the same
restrictions.  However, LWLockNewTrancheId() does require each
backend to store the tranche's name in backend-local memory via
LWLockRegisterTranche().  This API is a little cumbersome and leads
to things like unhelpful pg_stat_activity.wait_event values in
backends that haven't loaded the library.

This commit moves these LWLock tranche names to shared memory, thus
eliminating the need for each backend to call
LWLockRegisterTranche().  Instead, the tranche name must be
provided to LWLockNewTrancheId(), which immediately makes the name
available to all backends.  Since the tranche name array is
append-only, lookups can ordinarily avoid locking as long as their
local copy of the LWLock counter is greater than the requested
tranche ID.

One downside of this approach is that we now have a hard limit on
both the length of tranche names (NAMEDATALEN-1 bytes) and the
number of dynamically-allocated tranches (256).  Besides a limit of
NAMEDATALEN-1 bytes for tranche names registered via
RequestNamedLWLockTranche(), no such limits previously existed.  We
could avoid these new limits by using dynamic shared memory, but
the complexity involved didn't seem worth it.  We briefly
considered making the tranche limit user-configurable but
ultimately decided against that, too.  Since there is still a lot
of time left in the v19 development cycle, it's possible we will
revisit this choice.

aba8f61c30 Fix planner error when estimating SubPlan cost
SubPlan nodes are typically built very early, before any RelOptInfos
have been constructed for the parent query level.  As a result, the
simple_rel_array in the parent root has not yet been initialized.
Currently, during cost estimation of a SubPlan's testexpr, we may call
examine_variable() to look up statistical data about the expressions.
This can lead to "no relation entry for relid" errors.

To fix, pass root as NULL to cost_qual_eval() in cost_subplan(), since
the root does not yet contain enough information to safely consult
statistics.

One exception is SubPlan nodes built for the initplans of MIN/MAX
aggregates from indexes.  In this case, having a NULL root is safe
because testexpr will be NULL.  Additionally, an initplan will by
definition not consult anything from the parent plan.

Backpatch to all supported branches.  Although the reported call path
that triggers this error is not reachable prior to v17, there's no
guarantee that other code paths -- especially in extensions -- could
not encounter the same issue when cost_qual_eval() is called with a
root that lacks a valid simple_rel_array.  The test case is not
included in pre-v17 branches though.

1b1960c8c9 Improve error message for duplicate labels when creating an enum type.
Previously, duplicate labels in CREATE TYPE AS ENUM were caught by
the unique index on pg_enum, resulting in a generic error message.
While this was evidently intentional, it's not terribly user-friendly,
nor consistent with the ALTER TYPE cases which take more care with
such errors.  This patch adds an explicit check to produce a more
user-friendly and descriptive error message.

A potential objection to this implementation is that it adds O(N^2)
work to the creation operation.  However, quick testing finds that
that's pretty negligible below 1000 enum labels, and tolerable even
at 10000.  So it doesn't really seem worth being smarter.

a850be2fe6 Add max_retention_duration option to subscriptions.
This commit introduces a new subscription parameter,
max_retention_duration, aimed at mitigating excessive accumulation of dead
tuples when retain_dead_tuples is enabled and the apply worker lags behind
the publisher.

When the time spent advancing a non-removable transaction ID exceeds the
max_retention_duration threshold, the apply worker will stop retaining
conflict detection information. In such cases, the conflict slot's xmin
will be set to InvalidTransactionId, provided that all apply workers
associated with the subscription (with retain_dead_tuples enabled) confirm
the retention duration has been exceeded.

To ensure retention status persists across server restarts, a new column
subretentionactive has been added to the pg_subscription catalog. This
prevents unnecessary reactivation of retention logic after a restart.

The conflict detection slot will not be automatically re-initialized
unless a new subscription is created with retain_dead_tuples = true, or
the user manually re-enables retain_dead_tuples.

A future patch will introduce support for automatic slot re-initialization
once at least one apply worker confirms that the retention duration is
within the configured max_retention_duration.

317c117d6d Fix const-simplification for constraints and stats
Constraint expressions and statistics expressions loaded from the
system catalogs need to be run through const-simplification, because
the planner will be comparing them to similarly-processed qual
clauses.  Without this step, the planner may fail to detect valid
matches.

Currently, NullTest clauses in these expressions may not be reduced
correctly during const-simplification.  This happens because their Var
nodes do not yet have the correct varno when eval_const_expressions is
applied.  Since eval_const_expressions relies on varno to reduce
NullTest quals, incorrect varno can cause problems.

Additionally, for statistics expressions, eval_const_expressions is
called with root set to NULL, which also inhibits NullTest reduction.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that Vars are updated to have
the correct varno before const-simplification, and that a valid root
is passed to eval_const_expressions when needed.

710e6c4301 Remove unneeded casts of BufferGetPage() result
BufferGetPage() already returns type Page, so casting it to Page
doesn't achieve anything.  A sizable number of call sites does this
casting; remove that.

This was already done inconsistently in the code in the first import
in 1996 (but didn't exist in the pre-1995 code), and it was then
apparently just copied around.

97b0f36bde Fix semijoin unique-ification for child relations
For a child relation, we should not assume that its parent's
unique-ified relation (or unique-ified path in v18) always exists.  In
cases where all RHS columns that need to be unique-ified are equated
to constants, the unique-ified relation/path for the parent table is
not built, as there are no columns left to unique-ify.  Failing to
account for this can result in a SIGSEGV crash during planning.

This patch checks whether the parent's unique-ified relation or path
exists and skips unique-ification of the child relation if it does
not.

b8a1bdc458 Fix "variable not found in subplan target lists" in semijoin de-duplication.
One mechanism we have for implementing semi-joins is to de-duplicate
the output of the RHS and then treat the join as a plain inner join.
Initial construction of the join's SpecialJoinInfo identifies the
RHS columns that need to be de-duplicated, but later we may find that
some of those don't need to be handled explicitly, either because
they're known to be constant or because they are redundant with some
previous column.

Up to now, while sort-based de-duplication handled such cases well,
hash-based de-duplication didn't: we'd still hash on all of the
originally-identified columns.  This is probably not a very big
deal performance-wise, but in the wake of commit a3179ab69 it can
cause planner errors.  That happens when join elimination causes
recalculation of variables' attr_needed bitmapsets, and we decide
that a variable mentioned in a semijoin clause doesn't need to be
propagated up to the join level anymore.

There are a number of ways we could slice the blame for this, but the
only fix that doesn't result in pessimizing plans for loosely-related
cases is to be more careful about not hashing columns we don't
actually need to de-duplicate.  We can install that consideration
into create_unique_paths in master, or the predecessor code in
create_unique_path in v18, without much refactoring.

(As follow-up work, it might be a good idea to look at more-invasive
refactoring, in hopes of preventing other bugs in this area.  But
with v18 release so close, there's not time for that now, nor would
we be likely to want to put such refactoring into v18 anyway.)

5865150b6d aio: Stop using enum bitfields due to bad code generation
During an investigation into rather odd aio related errors on macos, observed
by Alexander and Konstantin, we started to wonder if bitfield access is
related to the error. At the moment it looks like it is related, we cannot
reproduce the failures when replacing the bitfields. In addition, the problem
can only be reproduced with some compiler [versions] and not everyone has been
able to reproduce the issue.

The observed problem is that, very rarely, PgAioHandle->{state,target} are in
an inconsistent state, after having been checked to be in a valid state not
long before, triggering an assertion failure. Unfortunately, this could be
caused by wrong compiler code generation or somehow of missing memory barriers
- we don't really know. In theory there should not be any concurrent write
access to the handle in the state the bug is triggered, as the handle was idle
and is just being initialized.

Separately from the bug, we observed that at least gcc and clang generate
rather terrible code for the bitfield access. Even if it's not clear if the
observed assertion failure is actually caused by the bitfield somehow, the bad
code generation alone is sufficient reason to stop using bitfields.

Therefore, replace the enum bitfields with uint8s and instead cast in each
switch statement.

990c8db182 Fix: Don't strip $libdir from nested module_pathnames
This patch fixes a bug in how 'load_external_function' handles
'$libdir/ prefixes in module paths.

Previously, 'load_external_function' would unconditionally strip
'$libdir/' from the beginning of the 'filename' string.  This caused
an issue when the path was nested, such as "$libdir/nested/my_lib".
Stripping the prefix resulted in a path of "nested/my_lib", which
would fail to be found by the expand_dynamic_library_name function
because the original '$libdir' macro was removed.

To fix this, the code now checks for the presence of an additional
directory separator ('/' or '\') after the '$libdir/' prefix.  The
prefix is only stripped if the remaining string does not contain a
separator.  This ensures that simple filenames like '"$libdir/my_lib"'
are correctly handled, while nested paths are left intact for
'expand_dynamic_library_name' to process correctly.

327b7324d0 Put "excludeOnly" GIN scan keys at the end of the scankey array.
Commit 4b754d6c1 introduced the concept of an excludeOnly scan key,
which cannot select matching index entries but can reject
non-matching tuples, for example a tsquery such as '!term'.  There are
poorly-documented assumptions that such scan keys do not appear as the
first scan key.  ginNewScanKey did nothing to ensure that, however,
with the result that certain GIN index searches could go into an
infinite loop while apparently-equivalent queries with the clauses in
a different order were fine.

Fix by teaching ginNewScanKey to place all excludeOnly scan keys
after all not-excludeOnly ones.  So far as we know at present,
it might be sufficient to avoid the case where the very first
scan key is excludeOnly; but I'm not very convinced that there
aren't other dependencies on the ordering.

50f770c3d9 Revert GetTransactionSnapshot() to return historic snapshot during LR
Commit 1585ff7387 changed GetTransactionSnapshot() to throw an error
if it's called during logical decoding, instead of returning the
historic snapshot. I made that change for extra protection, because a
historic snapshot can only be used to access catalog tables while
GetTransactionSnapshot() is usually called when you're executing
arbitrary queries. You might get very subtle visibility problems if
you tried to use the historic snapshot for arbitrary queries.

There's no built-in code in PostgreSQL that calls
GetTransactionSnapshot() during logical decoding, but it turns out
that the pglogical extension does just that, to evaluate row filter
expressions. You would get weird results if the row filter runs
arbitrary queries, but it is sane as long as you don't access any
non-catalog tables. Even though there are no checks to enforce that in
pglogical, a typical row filter expression does not access any tables
and works fine. Accessing tables marked with the user_catalog_table =
true option is also OK.

To fix pglogical with row filters, and any other extensions that might
do similar things, revert GetTransactionSnapshot() to return a
historic snapshot during logical decoding.

To try to still catch the unsafe usage of historic snapshots, add
checks in heap_beginscan() and index_beginscan() to complain if you
try to use a historic snapshot to scan a non-catalog table. We're very
close to the version 18 release however, so add those new checks only
in master.

ef03ea01fe Ignore temporary relations in RelidByRelfilenumber()
Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.

Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a1.

There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.

This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber().  The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().

The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.

We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet.  Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes.  It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

a67d4847a4 Fix re-execution of a failed SQLFunctionCache entry.
If we error out during execution of a SQL-language function, we will
often leave behind non-null pointers in its SQLFunctionCache's cplan
and eslist fields.  This is problematic if the SQLFunctionCache is
re-used, because those pointers will point at resources that were
released during error cleanup.  This problem escaped detection so far
because ordinarily we won't re-use an FmgrInfo+SQLFunctionCache struct
after a query error.  However, in the rather improbable case that
someone implements an opclass support function in SQL language, there
will be long-lived FmgrInfos for it in the relcache, and then the
problem is reachable after the function throws an error.

To fix, add a flag to SQLFunctionCache that tracks whether execution
escapes out of fmgr_sql, and clear out the relevant fields during
init_sql_fcache if so.  (This is going to need more thought if we ever
try to share FMgrInfos across threads; but it's very far from being
the only problem such a project will encounter, since many functions
regard fn_extra as being query-local state.)

This broke at commit 0313c5dc6; before that we did not try to re-use
SQLFunctionCache state across calls.  Hence, back-patch to v18.

single-user mode.  This commit sets ReplicationSlot->active_pid to
MyProcPid, to let the slot-related logic fall-through, considering the
single process as the one holding the slot.

Some TAP tests are added for various replication slot functions with the
single-user mode, while on it, for slot creation, drop, advancing, copy
and logical decoding with multiple slot types (temporary, physical vs
logical).  These tests are skipped on Windows, as direct calls of
postgres --single would fail on permission failures.  There is no
platform-specific behavior that needs to be checked, so living with this
restriction should be fine.  The CI is OK with that, now let's see what
the buildfarm tells.

aa21e49225 Fix self-deadlock during DROP SUBSCRIPTION.
The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the
subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system
catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server.
Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on
pg_subscription before initiating these steps.

However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the
publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is
made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the
cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an
AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock.

To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during
DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier,
the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new
worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become
orphaned.

Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on
the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence
after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the
worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still
ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

24225ad9aa Pathify RHS unique-ification for semijoin planning
There are two implementation techniques for semijoins: one uses the
JOIN_SEMI jointype, where the executor emits at most one matching row
per left-hand side (LHS) row; the other unique-ifies the right-hand
side (RHS) and then performs a plain inner join.

The latter technique currently has some drawbacks related to the
unique-ification step.

* Only the cheapest-total path of the RHS is considered during
unique-ification.  This may cause us to miss some optimization
opportunities; for example, a path with a better sort order might be
overlooked simply because it is not the cheapest in total cost.  Such
a path could help avoid a sort at a higher level, potentially
resulting in a cheaper overall plan.

* We currently rely on heuristics to choose between hash-based and
sort-based unique-ification.  A better approach would be to generate
paths for both methods and allow add_path() to decide which one is
preferable, consistent with how path selection is handled elsewhere in
the planner.

* In the sort-based implementation, we currently pay no attention to
the pathkeys of the input subpath or the resulting output.  This can
result in redundant sort nodes being added to the final plan.

This patch improves semijoin planning by creating a new RelOptInfo for
the RHS rel to represent its unique-ified version.  It then generates
multiple paths that represent elimination of distinct rows from the
RHS, considering both a hash-based implementation using the cheapest
total path of the original RHS rel, and sort-based implementations
that either exploit presorted input paths or explicitly sort the
cheapest total path.  All resulting paths compete in add_path(), and
those deemed worthy of consideration are added to the new RelOptInfo.
Finally, the unique-ified rel is joined with the other side of the
semijoin using a plain inner join.

As a side effect, most of the code related to the JOIN_UNIQUE_OUTER
and JOIN_UNIQUE_INNER jointypes -- used to indicate that the LHS or
RHS path should be made unique -- has been removed.  Besides, the
T_Unique path now has the same meaning for both semijoins and upper
DISTINCT clauses: it represents adjacent-duplicate removal on
presorted input.  This patch unifies their handling by sharing the
same data structures and functions.

This patch also removes the UNIQUE_PATH_NOOP related code along the
way, as it is dead code -- if the RHS rel is provably unique, the
semijoin should have already been simplified to a plain inner join by
analyzejoins.c.

ba3d93b2e8 Refactor init_params() in sequence.c to not use FormData_pg_sequence_data
init_params() sets up "last_value" and "is_called" for a sequence
relation holdind its metadata, based on the sequence properties in
pg_sequences.  "log_cnt" is the third property that can be updated in

should be generated for a sequence after nextval() iterations.  This
routine is called when creating or altering a sequence.

This commit refactors init_params() to not depend anymore on
FormData_pg_sequence_data, removing traces of it in sequence.c, making
easier the manipulation of metadata related to sequences.  The knowledge
about "log_cnt" is replaced with a more general "reset_state" flag, to
let the caller know if the sequence state should be reset.  In the case
of in-core sequences, this relates to WAL logging.  We still need to
depend on FormData_pg_sequence.

6aebedc384 Grab the low-hanging fruit from forcing sizeof(Datum) to 8.
Remove conditionally-compiled code for smaller Datum widths,
and simplify comments that describe cases no longer of interest.

I also fixed up a few more places that were not using
DatumGetIntXX where they should, and made some cosmetic
adjustments such as using sizeof(int64) not sizeof(Datum)
in places where that fit better with the surrounding code.

One thing I remembered while preparing this part is that SP-GiST
stores pass-by-value prefix keys as Datums, so that the on-disk
representation depends on sizeof(Datum).  That's even more
unfortunate than the existing commentary makes it out to be,
because now there is a hazard that the change of sizeof(Datum)
will break SP-GiST indexes on 32-bit machines.  It appears that
there are no existing SP-GiST opclasses that are actually
affected; and if there are some that I didn't find, the number
of installations that are using them on 32-bit machines is
doubtless tiny.  So I'm proceeding on the assumption that we
can get away with this, but it's something to worry about.

(gininsert.c looks like it has a similar problem, but it's okay
because the "tuples" it's constructing are just transient data
within the tuplesort step.  That's pretty poorly documented
though, so I added some comments.)

2a600a93c7 Make type Datum be 8 bytes wide everywhere.
This patch makes sizeof(Datum) be 8 on all platforms including
32-bit ones.  The objective is to allow USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL to be true
everywhere, and in consequence to remove a lot of code that is
specific to pass-by-reference handling of float8, int8, etc.  The
code for abbreviated sort keys can be simplified similarly.  In this
way we can reduce the maintenance effort involved in supporting 32-bit
platforms, without going so far as to actually desupport them.  Since
Datum is strictly an in-memory concept, this has no impact on on-disk
storage, though an initdb or pg_upgrade will be needed to fix affected
catalog entries.

We have required platforms to support [u]int64 for ages, so this
breaks no supported platform.  We can expect that this change will
make 32-bit builds a bit slower and more memory-hungry, although being
able to use pass-by-value handling of 8-byte types may buy back some
of that.  But we stopped optimizing for 32-bit cases a long time ago,
and this seems like just another step on that path.

This initial patch simply forces the correct type definition and
USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL setting, and cleans up a couple of minor compiler
complaints that ensued.  This is sufficient for testing purposes.
In the wake of a bunch of Datum-conversion cleanups by Peter
Eisentraut, this now compiles cleanly with gcc on a 32-bit platform.
(I'd only tested the previous version with clang, which it turns out
is less picky than gcc about width-changing coercions.)

There is a good deal of now-dead code that I'll remove in separate
follow-up patches.

A catversion bump is required because this affects initial catalog
contents (on 32-bit machines) in two ways: pg_type.typbyval changes
for some built-in types, and Const nodes in stored views/rules will
now have 8 bytes not 4 for pass-by-value types.

21fddb3d76 Don't treat EINVAL from semget() as a hard failure.
It turns out that on some platforms (at least current macOS, NetBSD,
OpenBSD) semget(2) will return EINVAL if there is a pre-existing
semaphore set with the same key and too few semaphores.  Our code
expects EEXIST in that case and treats EINVAL as a hard failure,
resulting in failure during initdb or postmaster start.

POSIX does document EINVAL for too-few-semaphores-in-set, and is
silent on its priority relative to EEXIST, so this behavior arguably
conforms to spec.  Nonetheless it's quite problematic because EINVAL
is also documented to mean that nsems is greater than the system's
limit on the number of semaphores per set (SEMMSL).  If that is
where the problem lies, retrying would just become an infinite loop.

To resolve this contradiction, retry after EINVAL, but also install a
loop limit that will make us give up regardless of the specific errno
after trying 1000 different keys.  (1000 is a pretty arbitrary number,
but it seems like it should be sufficient.)  I like this better than
the previous infinite-looping behavior, since it will also keep us out
of trouble if (say) we get EACCES due to a system-level permissions
problem rather than anything to do with a specific semaphore set.

This problem has only been observed in the field in PG 17, which uses
a higher nsems value than other branches (cf. 38da05346, 810a8b1c8).
That makes it possible to get the failure if a new v17 postmaster
has a key collision with an existing postmaster of another branch.
In principle though, we might see such a collision against a semaphore
set created by some other application, in which case all branches are
vulnerable on these platforms.  Hence, backpatch.

b227b0bb4e Reduce ExecSeqScan* code size using pg_assume()
fb9f955025 optimized code generation by using specialized variants of
ExecSeqScan* for [not] having a qual, projection etc. This allowed the
compiler to optimize the code out the code for qual / projection. However, as
observed by David Rowley at the time, the compiler couldn't prove the
opposite, i.e. that the qual etc *are* present.

By using pg_assume(), introduced in d65eb5b1b8, we can tell the compiler that
the relevant variables are non-null.

This reduces the code size to a surprising degree and seems to lead to a small
but reproducible performance gain.

01d6832c10 meson: add and use stamp files for generated headers
Without using stamp files, meson lists the generated headers as the dependency
for every .c file, bloating build.ninja by more than 2x. Processing all the
dependencies also increases the time to generate build.ninja.

The immediate benefit is that this makes re-configuring and clean builds a bit
faster. The main motivation however is that I have other patches that
introduce additional build targets that further would increase the size of
build.ninja, making re-configuring more noticeably slower.

22424953cd Fix security checks in selectivity estimation functions.
Commit e2d4ef8de8 (the fix for CVE-2017-7484) added security checks
to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec271 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had
permissions on either the parent or the child. It turns out, however,
that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.

In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.

Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.

Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

665c3dbba4 Mop-up for Datum conversion cleanups.
Fix a couple more places where an explicit Datum conversion
is needed (not clear how we missed these in ff89e182d and
previous commits).

Replace the minority usage "(Datum) NULL" with "(Datum) 0".
The former depends on the assumption that Datum is the same
width as Pointer, the latter doesn't.  Anyway consistency
is a good thing.

This is, I believe, the last of the notational mop-up needed
before we can consider changing Datum to uint64 everywhere.
It's also important cleanup for more aggressive ideas such
as making Datum a struct.

62a1211d33 Disallow collecting transition tuples from child foreign tables.
Commit 9e6104c66 disallowed transition tables on foreign tables, but
failed to account for cases where a foreign table is a child table of a
partitioned/inherited table on which transition tables exist, leading to
incorrect transition tuples collected from such foreign tables for
queries on the parent table triggering transition capture.  This
occurred not only for inherited UPDATE/DELETE but for partitioned INSERT
later supported by commit 3d956d956, which should have handled it at
least for the INSERT case, but didn't.

To fix, modify ExecAR*Triggers to throw an error if the given relation
is a foreign table requesting transition capture.  Also, this commit
fixes make_modifytable so that in case of an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
triggering transition capture, FDWs choose normal operations to modify
child foreign tables, not DirectModify; which is needed because they
would otherwise skip the calls to ExecAR*Triggers at execution, causing
unexpected behavior.

d699687b32 Extend int128.h to support more numeric code.
This adds a few more functions to int128.h, allowing more of numeric.c
to use 128-bit integers on all platforms.

Specifically, int64_div_fast_to_numeric() and the following aggregate
functions can now use 128-bit integers for improved performance on all
platforms, rather than just platforms with native support for int128:

- SUM(int8)
- AVG(int8)
- STDDEV_POP(int2 or int4)
- STDDEV_SAMP(int2 or int4)
- VAR_POP(int2 or int4)
- VAR_SAMP(int2 or int4)

In addition to improved performance on platforms lacking native
128-bit integer support, this significantly simplifies this numeric
code by allowing a lot of conditionally compiled code to be deleted.

A couple of numeric functions (div_var_int64() and sqrt_var()) still
contain conditionally compiled 128-bit integer code that only works on
platforms with native 128-bit integer support. Making those work more
generally would require rolling our own higher precision 128-bit
division, which isn't supported for now.

TimestampTz and not a Datum.

On 64-bit systems, there is no effect since this just ends up casting
64-bit integers back and forth.  On 32-bit systems, timestamptz is
pass-by-reference.  PG_RETURN_TIMESTAMPTZ() allocates new memory and
returns the address, meaning that the caller could interpret this as a
timestamp value.

The effect is using "date_trunc(..., 'infinity'::timestamptz) will
return random values (instead of the correct return value 'infinity').

80c758a2e1 Fix incorrect return value in brin_minmax_multi_distance_numeric().
The result of "DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d)" is already in
Datum form, but the code was incorrectly applying PG_RETURN_FLOAT8()
to it.  On machines where float8 is pass-by-reference, this would
result in complete garbage, since an unpredictable pointer value
would be treated as an integer and then converted to float.  It's not
entirely clear how much of a problem would ensue on 64-bit hardware,
but certainly interpreting a float8 bitpattern as uint64 and then
converting that to float isn't the intended behavior.

As luck would have it, even the complete-garbage case doesn't break
BRIN indexes, since the results are only used to make choices about
how to merge values into ranges: at worst, we'd make poor choices
resulting in an inefficient index.  Doubtless that explains the lack
of field complaints.  However, users with BRIN indexes that use the
numeric_minmax_multi_ops opclass may wish to reindex in hopes of
making their indexes more efficient.

fd5a1a0c3e Detect and report update_deleted conflicts.
This enhancement builds upon the infrastructure introduced in commit
228c370868, which enables the preservation of deleted tuples and their
origin information on the subscriber. This capability is crucial for
handling concurrent transactions replicated from remote nodes.

The update introduces support for detecting update_deleted conflicts
during the application of update operations on the subscriber. When an
update operation fails to locate the target row-typically because it has
been concurrently deleted-we perform an additional table scan. This scan
uses the SnapshotAny mechanism and we do this additional scan only when
the retain_dead_tuples option is enabled for the relevant subscription.

The goal of this scan is to locate the most recently deleted tuple-matching
the old column values from the remote update-that has not yet been removed
by VACUUM and is still visible according to our slot (i.e., its deletion
is not older than conflict-detection-slot's xmin). If such a tuple is
found, the system reports an update_deleted conflict, including the origin
and transaction details responsible for the deletion.

This provides a groundwork for more robust and accurate conflict
resolution process, preventing unexpected behavior by correctly
identifying cases where a remote update clashes with a deletion from
another origin.

5c8eda1f72 Take a little more care in set_backtrace().
Coverity complained that the "errtrace" string is leaked if we return
early because backtrace_symbols fails.  Another criticism that could
be leveled at this is that not providing any hint of what happened is
user-unfriendly.  Fix that.

The odds of a leak here are small, and typically it wouldn't matter
anyway since the leak will be in ErrorContext which will soon get
reset.  So I'm not feeling a need to back-patch.

4fbfdde58e Avoid leakage of zero-length arrays in partition_bounds_copy().
If ndatums is zero, the code would allocate zero-length boundKinds
and boundDatums chunks, which would have nothing pointing to them,
leading to Valgrind complaints.  Rearrange the code to avoid the
useless pallocs, and also to not bother computing byval/typlen when
they aren't used.

I'm unsure why I didn't see this in my Valgrind testing back in May.
This code hasn't changed since then, but maybe we added a regression
test that reaches this edge case.  Or possibly I just failed to
notice the reports, which do say "0 bytes lost".

b102c8c473 Silence complaints about leaks in PlanCacheComputeResultDesc.
CompleteCachedPlan intentionally doesn't worry about small
leaks from PlanCacheComputeResultDesc.  However, Valgrind
knows nothing of engineering tradeoffs and complains anyway.
Silence it by doing things the hard way if USE_VALGRIND.

I don't really love this patch, because it makes the handling
of plansource->resultDesc different from the handling of query
dependencies and search_path just above, which likewise are willing
to accept small leaks into the cached plan's context.  However,
those cases aren't provoking Valgrind complaints.  (Perhaps in a
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, they would?)  For the moment, this
makes the src/pl/plpgsql tests leak-free according to Valgrind.

7f6ededa76 Suppress complaints about leaks in TS dictionary loading.
Like the situation with function cache loading, text search
dictionary loading functions tend to leak some cruft into the
dictionary's long-lived cache context.  To judge by the examples in
the core regression tests, not very many bytes are at stake.
Moreover, I don't see a way to prevent such leaks without changing the
API for TS template initialization functions: right now they do not
have to worry about making sure that their results are long-lived.

Hence, I think we should install a suppression rule rather than trying
to fix this completely.  However, I did grab some low-hanging fruit:
several places were leaking the result of get_tsearch_config_filename.
This seems worth doing mostly because they are inconsistent with other
dictionaries that were freeing it already.

db01c90b2f Silence Valgrind leakage complaints in more-or-less-hackish ways.
These changes don't actually fix any leaks.  They just make sure that
Valgrind will find pointers to data structures that remain allocated
at process exit, and thus not falsely complain about leaks.  In
particular, we are trying to avoid situations where there is no
pointer to the beginning of an allocated block (except possibly
within the block itself, which Valgrind won't count).

* Because dynahash.c never frees hashtable storage except by deleting
the whole hashtable context, it doesn't bother to track the individual
blocks of elements allocated by element_alloc().  This results in
"possibly lost" complaints from Valgrind except when the first element
of each block is actively in use.  (Otherwise it'll be on a freelist,
but very likely only reachable via "interior pointers" within element
blocks, which doesn't satisfy Valgrind.)

To fix, if we're building with USE_VALGRIND, expend an extra pointer's
worth of space in each element block so that we can chain them all
together from the HTAB header.  Skip this in shared hashtables though:
Valgrind doesn't track those, and we'd need additional locking to make
it safe to manipulate a shared chain.

While here, update a comment obsoleted by 9c911ec06.

* Put the dlist_node fields of catctup and catclist structs first.
This ensures that the dlist pointers point to the starts of these
palloc blocks, and thus that Valgrind won't consider them
"possibly lost".

* The postmaster's PMChild structs and the autovac launcher's
avl_dbase structs also have the dlist_node-is-not-first problem,
but putting it first still wouldn't silence the warning because we
bulk-allocate those structs in an array, so that Valgrind sees a
single allocation.  Commonly the first array element will be pointed
to only from some later element, so that the reference would be an
interior pointer even if it pointed to the array start.  (This is the
same issue as for dynahash elements.)  Since these are pretty simple
data structures, I don't feel too bad about faking out Valgrind by
just keeping a static pointer to the array start.

(This is all quite hacky, and it's not hard to imagine usages where
we'd need some other idea in order to have reasonable leak tracking of
structures that are only accessible via dlist_node lists.  But these
changes seem to be enough to silence this class of leakage complaints
for the moment.)

* Free a couple of data structures manually near the end of an
autovacuum worker's run when USE_VALGRIND, and ensure that the final
vac_update_datfrozenxid() call is done in a non-permanent context.
This doesn't have any real effect on the process's total memory
consumption, since we're going to exit as soon as that last
transaction is done.  But it does pacify Valgrind.

* Valgrind complains about the postmaster's socket-files and
lock-files lists being leaked, which we can silence by just
not nulling out the static pointers to them.

* Valgrind seems not to consider the global "environ" variable as
a valid root pointer; so when we allocate a new environment array,
it claims that data is leaked.  To fix that, keep our own
statically-allocated copy of the pointer, similarly to the previous
item.

e78d1d6d47 Fix assorted pretty-trivial memory leaks in the backend.
In the current system architecture, none of these are worth obsessing
over; most are once-per-process leaks.  However, Valgrind complains
about all of them, and if we get to using threads rather than
processes for backend sessions, it will become more interesting to
avoid per-session leaks.

* Fix leaks in StartupXLOG() and ShutdownWalRecovery().

* Fix leakage of pq_mq_handle in a parallel worker.
While at it, move mq_putmessage's "Assert(pq_mq_handle != NULL)"
to someplace where it's not trivially useless.

* Fix leak in logicalrep_worker_detach().

* Don't leak the startup-packet buffer in ProcessStartupPacket().

* Fix leak in evtcache.c's DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset().
If the presented array is toasted, this neglected to free the
detoasted copy, which was then leaked into EventTriggerCacheContext.

* I'm distressed by the amount of code that BuildEventTriggerCache
is willing to run while switched into a long-lived cache context.
Although the detoasted array is the only leak that Valgrind reports,
let's tighten things up while we're here.  (DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset
is still run in the cache context, so doing this doesn't remove the
need for the detoast fix.  But it reduces the surface area for other
leaks.)

* load_domaintype_info() intentionally leaked some intermediate cruft
into the long-lived DomainConstraintCache's memory context, reasoning
that the amount of leakage will typically not be much so it's not
worth doing a copyObject() of the final tree to avoid that.  But
Valgrind knows nothing of engineering tradeoffs and complains anyway.
On the whole, the copyObject doesn't cost that much and this is surely
not a performance-critical code path, so let's do it the clean way.

* MarkGUCPrefixReserved didn't bother to clean up removed placeholder
GUCs at all, which shows up as a leak in one regression test.
It seems appropriate for it to do as much cleanup as
define_custom_variable does when replacing placeholders, so factor
that code out into a helper function.  define_custom_variable's logic
was one brick shy of a load too: it forgot to free the separate
allocation for the placeholder's name.

included in a Valgrind vchunk.  This suppresses complaints about that
vchunk being possibly lost because PG is retaining only pointers to
the aligned chunk.  Also make sure that trailing wasted space is
marked NOACCESS.

As a tiny performance improvement, arrange that MCXT_ALLOC_ZERO zeroes

bb049a79d3 Improve our support for Valgrind's leak tracking.
When determining whether an allocated chunk is still reachable,
Valgrind will consider only pointers within what it believes to be
allocated chunks.  Normally, all of a block obtained from malloc()
would be considered "allocated" --- but it turns out that if we use
VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate sub-section(s) of a malloc'ed
block as allocated, all the rest of that malloc'ed block is ignored.
This leads to lots of false positives of course.  In particular,
in any multi-malloc-block context, all but the primary block were
reported as leaked.  We also had a problem with context "ident"
strings, which were reported as leaked unless there was some other
pointer to them besides the one in the context header.

To fix, we need to use VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate
a context's management structs (the context struct itself and
any per-block headers) as allocated chunks.  That forces moving
the VALGRIND_CREATE_MEMPOOL/VALGRIND_DESTROY_MEMPOOL calls into
the per-context-type code, so that the pool identifier can be
made as soon as we've allocated the initial block, but otherwise
it's fairly straightforward.  Note that in Valgrind's eyes there
is no distinction between these allocations and the allocations
that the mmgr modules hand out to user code.  That's fine for
now, but perhaps someday we'll want to do better yet.

When reading this patch, it's helpful to start with the comments
added at the head of mcxt.c.

3b3fa94900 Fix use-after-free with INSERT ON CONFLICT changes in reorderbuffer.c
In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to
an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are
delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM),
updating the change being processed.

8c58624df4 has added an extra step after processing a change to update
the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback
update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a
threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached.  This logic has missed
the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once
processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN
value that's already been freed.  This could result in random crashes,
depending on the workload.

Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn()
the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop,
meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated
using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from
its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change.  This is actually more correct, as we
want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM
change.

Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode
CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough)
on an instance running valgrind.  The bug has been analyzed by Ethan
Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch.

Issue introduced by 8c58624df4, so backpatch down to v16.

Currently, ALTER DATABASE/ROLE/SYSTEM RESET [ALL] with an unknown
custom GUC with a prefix reserved by MarkGUCPrefixReserved() errors
(unless a superuser runs a RESET ALL variant).  This is problematic
for cases such as an extension library upgrade that removes a GUC.
To fix, simply make sure the relevant code paths explicitly allow
it.  Note that we require superuser or privileges on the parameter
to reset it.  This is perhaps a bit more restrictive than is
necessary, but it's not clear whether further relaxing the
requirements is safe.

Oversight in commit 88103567cb.  The ALTER SYSTEM fix is dependent
on commit 2d870b4aef, which first appeared in v17.  Unfortunately,
back-patching that commit would introduce ABI breakage, and while
that breakage seems unlikely to bother anyone, it doesn't seem
worth the risk.  Hence, the ALTER SYSTEM part of this commit is
omitted on v15 and v16.

locking sequence does not conflict with DDL operations.

This patch ensures consistent lock acquisition to prevent such deadlocks.

e125e36002 Rename CachedPlanType to PlannedStmtOrigin for PlannedStmt
Commit 719dcf3c42 introduced a field called CachedPlanType in
PlannedStmt to allow extensions to determine whether a cached plan is
generic or custom.

After discussion, the concepts that we want to track are a bit wider
than initially anticipated, as it is closer to knowing from which
"source" or "origin" a PlannedStmt has been generated or retrieved.
Custom and generic cached plans are a subset of that.

Based on the state of HEAD, we have been able to define two more
origins:
- "standard", for the case where PlannedStmt is generated in
standard_planner(), the most common case.
- "internal", for the fake PlannedStmt generated internally by some
query patterns.

This could be tuned in the future depending on what is needed.  This
looks like a good starting point, at least.  The default value is called
"UNKNOWN", provided as fallback value.  This value is not used in the
core code, the idea is to let extensions building their own PlannedStmts
know about this new field.

4300d8b6a7 Don't put library-supplied -L/-I switches before user-supplied ones.
For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config.  In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries.  That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.

It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries.  If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.

To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK.  They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.

The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config.  We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.

The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs.  There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files.  (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)

The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

902f922218 Remove unnecessary complication around xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory.
When I prepared 71c0921b6 et al yesterday, I was thinking that the
logic involving explicitly freeing the node_list output was still
needed to dodge leakage bugs in libxml2.  But I was misremembering:
we introduced that only because with early 2.13.x releases we could
not trust xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory's result code, so we had to
look to see if a node list was returned or not.  There's no reason
to believe that xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will fail to clean up
the node list when required, so simplify.  (This essentially
completes reverting all the non-cosmetic changes in 6082b3d5d.)

4bc62b8684 Display Memoize planner estimates in EXPLAIN
There've been a few complaints that it can be overly difficult to figure
out why the planner picked a Memoize plan.  To help address that, here we
adjust the EXPLAIN output to display the following additional details:

1) The estimated number of cache entries that can be stored at once
2) The estimated number of unique lookup keys that we expect to see
3) The number of lookups we expect
4) The estimated hit ratio

Technically #4 can be calculated using #1, #2 and #3, but it's not a
particularly obvious calculation, so we opt to display it explicitly.
The original patch by Lukas Fittl only displayed the hit ratio, but
there was a fear that might lead to more questions about how that was
calculated.  The idea with displaying all 4 is to be transparent which
may allow queries to be tuned more easily.  For example, if #2 isn't
correct then maybe extended statistics or a manual n_distinct estimate can
be used to help fix poor plan choices.

This commit switches the code to use a more efficient approach than

by any fixed-numbered stats kinds to force pgstat_report_stat() to go
through one round of reports.  The flag is reset by pgstat_report_stat()
once a full round of reports is done.  The flag being false means that
fixed-numbered stats kinds saw no activity, and that there is no pending
data to flush.

ac000fca74 took one step in improving the performance by reducing the
number of stats kinds that the backend can hold.  This commit takes a
more drastic step by bringing back the code efficiency to what it was
before v18 with a cheap check at the beginning of pgstat_report_stat()
for its fast-exit path.

The callback have_static_pending_cb is removed as an effect of all that.

258bf0a2ea Process sync requests incrementally in AbsorbSyncRequests
If the number of sync requests is big enough, the palloc() call in
AbsorbSyncRequests() will attempt to allocate more than 1 GB of memory,
resulting in failure.  This can lead to an infinite loop in the checkpointer
process, as it repeatedly fails to absorb the pending requests.

This commit introduces the following changes to cope with this problem:
 1. Turn pending checkpointer requests array in shared memory into a bounded
    ring buffer.
 2. Limit maximum ring buffer size to 10M items.
 3. Make AbsorbSyncRequests() process requests incrementally in 10K batches.

Even #2 makes the whole queue size fit the maximum palloc() size of 1 GB.

This commit is for master only.  Simpler fix, which just limits a request

7d8f595779 Create infrastructure to reliably prevent leakage of PGresults.
Commit 232d8caea fixed a case where postgres_fdw could lose track
of a PGresult object, resulting in a process-lifespan memory leak.
But I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult
leakages, now or in future, in the backend modules that use libpq.
Therefore, this patch proposes infrastructure that makes all
PGresults returned from libpq act as though they are palloc'd
in the CurrentMemoryContext (with the option to relocate them to
another context later).  This should greatly reduce the risk of
careless leaks, and it also permits removal of a bunch of code
that attempted to prevent such leaks via PG_TRY blocks.

This patch adds infrastructure that wraps each PGresult in a
"libpqsrv_PGresult" that provides a memory context reset callback
to PQclear the PGresult.  Code using this abstraction is inherently
memory-safe to the same extent as we are accustomed to in most backend
code.  Furthermore, we add some macros that automatically redirect
calls of the libpq functions concerned with PGresults to use this
infrastructure, so that almost no source-code changes are needed to
wheel this infrastructure into place in all the backend code that
uses libpq.

Perhaps in future we could create similar infrastructure for
PGconn objects, but there seems less need for that.

This patch just creates the infrastructure and makes relevant code
use it, including reverting 232d8caea in favor of this mechanism.
A good deal of follow-on simplification is possible now that we don't
have to be so cautious about freeing PGresults, but I'll put that in
a separate patch.

5457ea46d1 Fix dynahash's HASH_FIXED_SIZE ("isfixed") option.
This flag was effectively a no-op in EXEC_BACKEND (ie, Windows)
builds, because it was kept in the process-local HTAB struct,
and it could only ever become set in the postmaster's copy.

The simplest fix is to move it to the shared HASHHDR struct.
We could keep a copy in HTAB as well, as we do with keysize
and some other fields, but the "too much contention" argument
doesn't seem to apply here: we only examine isfixed during
element_alloc(), which had better not get hit very often for
a shared hashtable.

This oversight dates to 7c797e719 which invented the option.
But back-patching doesn't seem appropriate given the lack of
field complaints.  If there is anyone running an affected
workload on Windows, they might be unhappy about the behavior
changing in a minor release.

Previously, if a background worker crashed (e.g., due to a SIGKILL) and
the server restarted due to restart_after_crash being enabled,
the worker was not restarted as expected. Background workers without

This issue was introduced in commit 28a520c0b7, which failed to reset

e6dfd068ed Fix build breakage on Solaris-alikes with late-model GCC.
Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument
of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago.
This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when
building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that,
so we never did anything about it.  However, as of GCC 14 the
case is an error not warning by default.

To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos
in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't
just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help.

What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe,
is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which
causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional
definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else.
Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include
"const" in the declaration of pam_passwd_conv_proc().

228c370868 Preserve conflict-relevant data during logical replication.
Logical replication requires reliable conflict detection to maintain data
consistency across nodes. To achieve this, we must prevent premature
removal of tuples deleted by other origins and their associated commit_ts
data by VACUUM, which could otherwise lead to incorrect conflict reporting
and resolution.

This patch introduces a mechanism to retain deleted tuples on the
subscriber during the application of concurrent transactions from remote
nodes. Retaining these tuples allows us to correctly ignore concurrent
updates to the same tuple. Without this, an UPDATE might be misinterpreted
as an INSERT during resolutions due to the absence of the original tuple.

Additionally, we ensure that origin metadata is not prematurely removed by
vacuum freeze, which is essential for detecting update_origin_differs and
delete_origin_differs conflicts.

To support this, a new replication slot named pg_conflict_detection is
created and maintained by the launcher on the subscriber. Each apply
worker tracks its own non-removable transaction ID, which the launcher
aggregates to determine the appropriate xmin for the slot, thereby
retaining necessary tuples.

Conflict information retention (deleted tuples and commit_ts) can be
enabled per subscription via the retain_conflict_info option. This is
disabled by default to avoid unnecessary overhead for configurations that
do not require conflict resolution or logging.

During upgrades, if any subscription on the old cluster has
retain_conflict_info enabled, a conflict detection slot will be created to
protect relevant tuples from deletion when the new cluster starts.

This is a foundational work to correctly detect update_deleted conflict
which will be done in a follow-up patch.

e2debb6438 Reduce "Var IS [NOT] NULL" quals during constant folding
In commit b262ad440, we introduced an optimization that reduces an IS
[NOT] NULL qual on a NOT NULL column to constant true or constant
false, provided we can prove that the input expression of the NullTest
is not nullable by any outer joins or grouping sets.  This deduction
happens quite late in the planner, during the distribution of quals to
rels in query_planner.  However, this approach has some drawbacks: we
can't perform any further folding with the constant, and it turns out
to be prone to bugs.

Ideally, this deduction should happen during constant folding.
However, the per-relation information about which columns are defined
as NOT NULL is not available at that point.  This information is
currently collected from catalogs when building RelOptInfos for base
or "other" relations.

This patch moves the collection of NOT NULL attribute information for
relations before pull_up_sublinks, storing it in a hash table keyed by
relation OID.  It then uses this information to perform the NullTest
deduction for Vars during constant folding.  This also makes it
possible to leverage this information to pull up NOT IN subqueries.

Note that this patch does not get rid of restriction_is_always_true
and restriction_is_always_false.  Removing them would prevent us from
reducing some IS [NOT] NULL quals that we were previously able to
reduce, because (a) the self-join elimination may introduce new IS NOT
NULL quals after constant folding, and (b) if some outer joins are
converted to inner joins, previously irreducible NullTest quals may
become reducible.

More such information may be required in the future.

Currently, these pieces of catalog data are collected in multiple

Currently, we expand virtual generated columns after we have pulled up
any SubLinks within the query's quals.  This ensures that the virtual

into joins are correctly expanded.  This approach works well and has
posed no issues.

In an upcoming patch, we plan to centralize the collection of catalog

repeated table_open/table_close calls for relations in the rangetable.
Since this information is required during sublink pull-up, we are
moving the expansion of virtual generated columns to occur beforehand.

To achieve this, if any EXISTS SubLinks can be pulled up, their
rangetables are processed just before pulling them up.

If a crash occurs while writing a WAL record that spans multiple pages, the
recovery process marks the page with the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD

record based on its expected size before checking this flag, which can lead
to an infinite wait if the remaining data is never written (e.g., no activity
after crash).

This patch updates the logic first to read the page header and check for
the XLP_FIRST_IS_OVERWRITE_CONTRECORD flag before attempting to reconstruct
the full WAL record.  If the flag is set, decoding correctly identifies
the record as incomplete and avoids waiting for WAL data that will never
arrive.

5022ff250e Fix concurrent update trigger issues with MERGE in a CTE.
If a MERGE inside a CTE attempts an UPDATE or DELETE on a table with
BEFORE ROW triggers, and a concurrent UPDATE or DELETE happens, the
merge code would fail (crashing in the case of an UPDATE action, and
potentially executing the wrong action for a DELETE action).

This is the same issue that 9321c79c86 attempted to fix, except now
for a MERGE inside a CTE. As noted in 9321c79c86, what needs to happen
is for the trigger code to exit early, returning the TM_Result and
TM_FailureData information to the merge code, if a concurrent
modification is detected, rather than attempting to do an EPQ
recheck. The merge code will then do its own rechecking, and rescan
the action list, potentially executing a different action in light of
the concurrent update. In particular, the trigger code must never call
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple() for MERGE, since that is bound to fail because
MERGE has its own per-action projection information.

Commit 9321c79c86 did this using estate->es_plannedstmt->commandType
in the trigger code to detect that a MERGE was being executed, which
is fine for a plain MERGE command, but does not work for a MERGE
inside a CTE. Fix by passing that information to the trigger code as
an additional parameter passed to ExecBRUpdateTriggers() and
ExecBRDeleteTriggers().

Back-patch as far as v17 only, since MERGE cannot appear inside a CTE
prior to that. Additionally, take care to preserve the trigger ABI in
v17 (though not in v18, which is still in beta).

Remove assertion from PortalRunMulti
We have an assertion to ensure that a command tag has been assigned by
the time we're done executing, but if we happen to execute a command
with no queries, the assertion would fail.  Per discussion, rather than
contort things to get a tag assigned, just remove the assertion.

explained logic that had been adjacent to it but diffused into various

strcoll(), etc., are not called directly; all collation-sensitive

provider. By setting LC_COLLATE to C, we avoid accidentally depending

4c8ad67a98 nbtree: Use only one notnullkey ScanKeyData.
_bt_first need only store one ScanKeyData struct on the stack for the
purposes of building an IS NOT NULL key based on an implied NOT NULL
constraint.  We don't need INDEX_MAX_KEYS-many ScanKeyData structs.

This saves us a little over 2KB in stack space.  It's possible that this
has some performance benefit.  It also seems simpler and more direct.

It isn't possible for more than a single index attribute to need its own
implied IS NOT NULL key: the first such attribute/IS NOT NULL key always
makes _bt_first stop adding additional boundary keys to startKeys[].
Using INDEX_MAX_KEYS-many ScanKeyData entries was (at best) misleading.

b8341ae856 pgoutput: Initialize missing default for "origin" parameter.
The pgoutput plugin initializes optional parameters like "binary" with
default values at the start of processing. However, the "origin"
parameter was previously missed and left without explicit initialization.

Although the PGOutputData struct, which holds these settings,
is zero-initialized at allocation (resulting in publish_no_origin field
for "origin" parameter being false by default), this default was not
set explicitly, unlike other parameters.

This commit adds explicit initialization of the "origin" parameter to
ensure consistency and clarity in how defaults are handled.

It's impossible to reach this case with either ra or rb being
WJB_DONE, because our earlier checks that the structure and
length of the inputs match should guarantee that we reach their
ends simultaneously.  However, the comment completely fails to

aad1617b76 Silence uninitialized-value warnings in compareJsonbContainers().
Because not every path through JsonbIteratorNext() sets val->type,
some compilers complain that compareJsonbContainers() is comparing
possibly-uninitialized values.  The paths that don't set it return
WJB_DONE, WJB_END_ARRAY, or WJB_END_OBJECT, so it's clear by
manual inspection that the "(ra == rb)" code path is safe, and
indeed we aren't seeing warnings about that.  But the (ra != rb)
case is much less obviously safe.  In Assert-enabled builds it
seems that the asserts rejecting WJB_END_ARRAY and WJB_END_OBJECT
persuade gcc 15.x not to warn, which makes little sense because
it's impossible to believe that the compiler can prove of its
own accord that ra/rb aren't WJB_DONE here.  (In fact they never
will be, so the code isn't wrong, but why is there no warning?)
Without Asserts, the appearance of warnings is quite unsurprising.

We discussed fixing this by converting those two Asserts into
pg_assume, but that seems not very satisfactory when it's so unclear
why the compiler is or isn't warning: the warning could easily
reappear with some other compiler version.  Let's fix it in a less
magical, more future-proof way by changing JsonbIteratorNext()
so that it always does set val->type.  The cost of that should be
pretty negligible, and it makes the function's API spec less squishy.

3c4e26a62c In username-map substitution, cope with more than one \1.
If the system-name field of a pg_ident.conf line is a regex
containing capturing parentheses, you can write \1 in the
user-name field to represent the captured part of the system
name.  But what happens if you write \1 more than once?
The only reasonable expectation IMO is that each \1 gets
replaced, but presently our code replaces only the first.
Fix that.

Also, improve the tests for this feature to exercise cases
where a non-empty string needs to be substituted for \1.
The previous testing didn't inspire much faith that it
was verifying correct operation of the substitution code.

Given the lack of field complaints about this, I don't
feel a need to back-patch.

64840e4624 Fix inconsistent quoting of role names in ACLs.
getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting.  They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform.  So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.

To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.

A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes ("").  That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names.  But let's fix it while we're here.

Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all
supported versions.

72e6c08fea Fix the handling of two GUCs during upgrade.
Previously, the check_hook functions for max_slot_wal_keep_size and
idle_replication_slot_timeout would incorrectly raise an ERROR for values
set in postgresql.conf during upgrade, even though those values were not
actively used in the upgrade process.

To prevent logical slot invalidation during upgrade, we used to set
special values for these GUCs. Now, instead of relying on those values, we
directly prevent WAL removal and logical slot invalidation caused by
max_slot_wal_keep_size and idle_replication_slot_timeout.

Note: PostgreSQL 17 does not include the idle_replication_slot_timeout
GUC, so related changes were not backported.

Previously, the idle_replication_slot_timeout parameter used minutes
as its unit, based on the assumption that values would typically exceed

behavior: specifying a value below 30 seconds would round down to 0,
effectively disabling the timeout. This could be surprising to users.

f54af9f267 aio: Combine io_uring memory mappings, if supported
By default io_uring creates a shared memory mapping for each io_uring
instance, leading to a large number of memory mappings. Unfortunately a large
number of memory mappings slows things down, backend exit is particularly
affected.  To address that, newer kernels (6.5) support using user-provided
memory for the memory. By putting the relevant memory into shared memory we
don't need any additional mappings.

On a system with a new enough kernel and liburing, there is no discernible
overhead when doing a pgbench -S -C anymore.

55a780e947 Consider explicit incremental sort for Append and MergeAppend
For an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we need to inject an explicit
sort into any subpath that is not already well enough ordered.
Currently, only explicit full sorts are considered; incremental sorts
are not yet taken into account.

In this patch, for subpaths of an ordered Append or MergeAppend, we
choose to use explicit incremental sort if it is enabled and there are
presorted keys.

The rationale is based on the assumption that incremental sort is
always faster than full sort when there are presorted keys, a premise
that has been applied in various parts of the code.  In addition, the
current cost model tends to favor incremental sort as being cheaper
than full sort in the presence of presorted keys, making it reasonable
not to consider full sort in such cases.

No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.

62a17a9283 Integrate FullTransactionIds deeper into two-phase code
This refactoring is a follow-up of the work done in 5a1dfde833, that
has switched 2PC file names to use FullTransactionIds when written on
disk.  This will help with the integration of a follow-up solution
related to the handling of two-phase files during recovery, to address
older defects while reading these from disk after a crash.

This change is useful in itself as it reduces the need to build the
file names from epoch numbers and TransactionIds, because we can use
directly FullTransactionIds from which the 2PC file names are guessed.
So this avoids a lot of back-and-forth between the FullTransactionIds
retrieved from the file names and how these are passed around in the
internal 2PC logic.

Note that the core of the change is the use of a FullTransactionId
instead of a TransactionId in GlobalTransactionData, that tracks 2PC
file information in shared memory.  The change in TwoPhaseCallback makes
this commit unfit for stable branches.

Noah has contributed a good chunk of this patch.  I have spent some time
on it as well while working on the issues with two-phase state files and
recovery.

assertion failure, that can be reached for example with an initdb -c

a commit timestamp for a BootstrapTransactionId, so let's disable the
activation of the module in this case.

This problem has been independently reported once by each author of this

IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to skip the use of commit_ts during
bootstrap.  The test addition is a suggestion by me, and is applied down
to v16.

be slow, especially with a large local buffers, as the scan was repeated

A similar issue with regular tables (shared buffers) was addressed in
commit 6d05086c0a by scanning the buffer pool only once for all forks.

This commit applies the same optimization to temporary relations,

931766aaec Simplify COALESCE() with one surviving argument.
If, after removal of useless null-constant arguments, a CoalesceExpr
has exactly one remaining argument, we can just take that argument as
the result, without bothering to wrap a new CoalesceExpr around it.
This isn't likely to produce any great improvement in runtime per se,
but it can lead to better plans since the planner no longer has to
treat the expression as non-strict.

However, there were a few regression test cases that intentionally
wrote COALESCE(x) as a shorthand way of creating a non-strict
subexpression.  To avoid ruining the intent of those tests, write
COALESCE(x,x) instead.  (If anyone ever proposes de-duplicating
COALESCE arguments, we'll need another iteration of this arms race.
But it seems pretty unlikely that such an optimization would be
worthwhile.)

0059bbe1ec Break out xxx2yyy_opt_overflow APIs for more datetime conversions.
Previous commits invented timestamp2timestamptz_opt_overflow,
date2timestamp_opt_overflow, and date2timestamptz_opt_overflow
functions to perform non-error-throwing conversions between
datetime types.  This patch completes the set by adding
timestamp2date_opt_overflow, timestamptz2date_opt_overflow,
and timestamptz2timestamp_opt_overflow.

In addition, adjust timestamp2timestamptz_opt_overflow so that it
doesn't throw error if timestamp2tm fails, but treats that as an
overflow case.  The situation probably can't arise except with an
invalid timestamp value, and I can't think of a way that that would
happen except data corruption.  However, it's pretty silly to have a
function whose entire reason for existence is to not throw errors for
out-of-range inputs nonetheless throw an error for out-of-range input.

The new APIs are not used in this patch, but will be needed in
upcoming btree_gin changes.

a10f21e6ce Obtain required table lock during cross-table updates, redux.
Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup
contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two
also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet
have lock on.  Add similar logic to those code paths, and add
some test cases demonstrating the need for it.

In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a
behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual
generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored
column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of
a virtual column.  Since the expression isn't actually relevant to
either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems
unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion.
For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

fd7d7b7191 Improve checks for GUC recovery_target_timeline
Currently check_recovery_target_timeline() converts any value that is
not "current", "latest", or a valid integer to 0.  So, for example, the
following configuration added to postgresql.conf followed by a startup:
recovery_target_timeline = 'bogus'
recovery_target_timeline = '9999999999'

...  results in the following error patterns:
FATAL:  22023: recovery target timeline 0 does not exist
FATAL:  22023: recovery target timeline 1410065407 does not exist

This is confusing, because the server does not reflect the intention of
the user, and just reports incorrect data unrelated to the GUC.

The origin of the problem is that we do not perform a range check in the
GUC value passed-in for recovery_target_timeline.  This commit improves
the situation by using strtou64() and by providing stricter range
checks.  Some test cases are added for the cases of an incorrect, an
upper-bound and a lower-bound timeline value, checking the sanity of the
reports based on the contents of the server logs.

0da29e4cb1 Enable use of Memoize for ANTI joins
Currently, we do not support Memoize for SEMI and ANTI joins because
nested loop SEMI/ANTI joins do not scan the inner relation to
completion, which prevents Memoize from marking the cache entry as
complete.  One might argue that we could mark the cache entry as
complete after fetching the first inner tuple, but that would not be
safe: if the first inner tuple and the current outer tuple do not
satisfy the join clauses, a second inner tuple matching the parameters
would find the cache entry already marked as complete.

However, if the inner side is provably unique, this issue doesn't
arise, since there would be no second matching tuple.  That said, this
doesn't help in the case of SEMI joins, because a SEMI join with a
provably unique inner side would already have been reduced to an inner
join by reduce_unique_semijoins.

Therefore, in this patch, we check whether the inner relation is
provably unique for ANTI joins and enable the use of Memoize in such
cases.

fe07100e82 Add GetNamedDSA() and GetNamedDSHash().
Presently, the dynamic shared memory (DSM) registry only provides
GetNamedDSMSegment(), which allocates a fixed-size segment.  To use
the DSM registry for more sophisticated things like dynamic shared
memory areas (DSAs) or a hash table backed by a DSA (dshash), users
need to create a DSM segment that stores various handles and LWLock
tranche IDs and to write fairly complicated initialization code.
Furthermore, there is likely little variation in this
initialization code between libraries.

This commit introduces functions that simplify allocating a DSA or
dshash within the DSM registry.  These functions are very similar
to GetNamedDSMSegment().  Notable differences include the lack of
an initialization callback parameter and the prohibition of calling
the functions more than once for a given entry in each backend
(which should be trivially avoidable in most circumstances).  While
at it, this commit bumps the maximum DSM registry entry name length
from 63 bytes to 127 bytes.

Also note that even though one could presumably detach/destroy the
DSAs and dshashes created in the registry, such use-cases are not
yet well-supported, if for no other reason than the associated DSM
registry entries cannot be removed.  Adding such support is left as
a future exercise.

The test_dsm_registry test module contains tests for the new
functions and also serves as a complete usage example.

We do still throw error for NaN or infinity histogram-bound inputs,

bd3f59fdb7 Make row compares robust during nbtree array scans.
Recent nbtree bugfix commit 5f4d98d4 added a special case to the code
that sets up a page-level prefix of keys that are definitely satisfied
by every tuple on the page: whenever _bt_set_startikey reached a row
compare key, we'd refuse to apply the pstate.forcenonrequired behavior
in scans where that usually happens (scans with a higher-order array
key).  That hack made the scan avoid essentially the same infinite
cycling behavior that also affected nbtree scans with redundant keys
(keys that preprocessing could not eliminate) prior to commit f09816a0.
There are now serious doubts about this row compare workaround.

Testing has shown that a scan with a row compare key and an array key
could still read the same leaf page twice (without the scan's direction
changing), which isn't supposed to be possible following the SAOP
enhancements added by Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8.  Also, we still
allowed a required row compare key to be used with forcenonrequired mode
when its header key happened to be beyond the pstate.ikey set by
_bt_set_startikey, which was complicated and brittle.

The underlying problem was that row compares had inconsistent rules
around how scans start (which keys can be used for initial positioning
purposes) and how scans end (which keys can set continuescan=false).
Quals with redundant keys that could not be eliminated by preprocessing
also had that same quality to them prior to today's bugfix f09816a0.  It
now seems prudent to bring row compare keys in line with the new charter
for required keys, by making the start and end rules symmetric.

This commit fixes two points of disagreement between _bt_first and
_bt_check_rowcompare.  Firstly, _bt_check_rowcompare was capable of
ending the scan at the point where it needed to compare an ISNULL-marked
row compare member that came immediately after a required row compare
member.  _bt_first now has symmetric handling for NULL row compares.
Secondly, _bt_first had its own ideas about which keys were safe to use
for initial positioning purposes.  It could use fewer or more keys than
_bt_check_rowcompare.  _bt_first now uses the same requiredness markings
as _bt_check_rowcompare for this.

Now that _bt_first and _bt_check_rowcompare agree on how to start and
end scans, we can get rid of the forcenonrequired special case, without
any risk of infinite cycling.  This approach also makes row compare keys
behave more like regular scalar keys, particularly within _bt_first.

Fixing these inconsistencies necessitates dealing with a related issue
with the way that row compares were marked required by preprocessing: we
didn't mark any lower-order row members required following 2016 bugfix
commit a298a1e0.  That approach was over broad.  The bug in question was
actually an oversight in how _bt_check_rowcompare dealt with tuple NULL
values that failed to satisfy a scan key marked required in the opposite
scan direction (it was a bug in 2011 commits 6980f817 and 882368e8, not
a bug in 2006 commit 3a0a16cb).  Go back to marking row compare members
as required using the original 2006 rules, and fix the 2016 bug in a
more principled way: by limiting use of the "set continuescan=false with
a key required in the opposite scan direction upon encountering a NULL
tuple value" optimization to the first/most significant row member key.
While it isn't safe to use an implied IS NOT NULL qualifier to end the
scan when it comes from a required lower-order row compare member key,
it _is_ generally safe for such a required member key to end the scan --
provided the key is marked required in the _current_ scan direction.

This fixes what was arguably an oversight in either commit 5f4d98d4 or
commit 8a510275.  It is a direct follow-up to today's commit f09816a0.

f09816a0a7 Make handling of redundant nbtree keys more robust.
nbtree preprocessing's handling of redundant (and contradictory) keys
created problems for scans with = arrays.  It was just about possible
for a scan with an = array key and one or more redundant keys (keys that
preprocessing could not eliminate due an incomplete opfamily and a
cross-type key) to get stuck.  Testing has shown that infinite cycling
where the scan never manages to make forward progress was possible.
This could happen when the scan's arrays were reset in _bt_readpage's
forcenonrequired=true path (added by bugfix commit 5f4d98d4) when the
arrays weren't at least advanced up to the same point that they were in
at the start of the _bt_readpage call.  Earlier redundant keys prevented
the finaltup call to _bt_advance_array_keys from reaching lower-order
keys that needed to be used to sufficiently advance the scan's arrays.

To fix, make preprocessing leave the scan's keys in a state that is as
close as possible to how it'll usually leave them (in the common case
where there's no redundant keys that preprocessing failed to eliminate).
Now nbtree preprocessing _reliably_ leaves behind at most one required
>/>= key per index column, and at most one required </<= key per index
column.  Columns that have one or more = keys that are eligible to be
marked required (based on the traditional rules) prioritize the = keys
over redundant inequality keys; they'll _reliably_ be left with only one
of the = keys as the index column's only required key.

Keys that are not marked required (whether due to the new preprocessing
step running or for some other reason) are relocated to the end of the
so->keyData[] array as needed.  That way they'll always be evaluated
after the scan's required keys, and so cannot prevent code in places
like _bt_advance_array_keys and _bt_first from reaching a required key.

Also teach _bt_first to decide which initial positioning keys to use
based on the same requiredness markings that have long been used by
_bt_checkkeys/_bt_advance_array_keys.  This is a necessary condition for
reliably avoiding infinite cycling.  _bt_advance_array_keys expects to
be able to reason about what'll happen in the next _bt_first call should
it start another primitive index scan, by evaluating inequality keys
that were marked required in the opposite-to-scan scan direction only.
Now everybody (_bt_first, _bt_checkkeys, and _bt_advance_array_keys)
will always agree on which exact key will be used on each index column
to start and/or end the scan (except when row compare keys are involved,
which have similar problems not addressed by this commit).

An upcoming commit will finish off the work started by this commit by
harmonizing how _bt_first, _bt_checkkeys, and _bt_advance_array_keys
apply row compare keys to start and end scans.

This fixes what was arguably an oversight in either commit 5f4d98d4 or
commit 8a510275.

f039c22441 meson: Increase minimum version to 0.57.2
The previous minimum was to maintain support for Python 3.5, but we
now require Python 3.6 anyway (commit 45363fca63), so that reason is
obsolete.  A small raise to Meson 0.57 allows getting rid of a fair
amount of version conditionals and silences some future-deprecated
warnings.

With the version bump, the following deprecation warnings appeared and
are fixed:

WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead
WARNING: Project targets '>=0.57' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead.

It turns out that meson 0.57.0 and 0.57.1 are buggy for our use, so
the minimum is actually set to 0.57.2.  This is specific to this
version series; in the future we won't necessarily need to be this
precise.

3811ca3600 Fix missing FSM vacuum opportunities on tables without indexes.
Commit c120550edb optimized the vacuuming of relations without
indexes (a.k.a. one-pass strategy) by directly marking dead item IDs
as LP_UNUSED. However, the periodic FSM vacuum was still checking if
dead item IDs had been marked as LP_DEAD when attempting to vacuum the
FSM every VACUUM_FSM_EVERY_PAGES blocks. This condition was never met
due to the optimization, resulting in missed FSM vacuum
opportunities.

This commit modifies the periodic FSM vacuum condition to use the
number of tuples deleted during HOT pruning. This count includes items
marked as either LP_UNUSED or LP_REDIRECT, both of which are expected
to result in new free space to report.

Back-patch to v17 where the vacuum optimization for tables with no
indexes was introduced.

bee23ea4dd Show sizes of FETCH queries as constants in pg_stat_statements
Prior to this patch, every FETCH call would generate a unique queryId
with a different size specified.  Depending on the workloads, this could
lead to a significant bloat in pg_stat_statements, as repeatedly calling
a specific cursor would result in a new queryId each time.  For example,
FETCH 1 c1; and FETCH 2 c1; would produce different queryIds.

This patch improves the situation by normalizing the fetch size, so as
semantically similar statements generate the same queryId.  As a result,
statements like the below, which differ syntactically but have the same
effect, will now share a single queryId:
FETCH FROM c1
FETCH NEXT c1
FETCH 1 c1

In order to do a normalization based on the keyword used in FETCH,
FetchStmt is tweaked with a new FetchDirectionKeywords.  This matters
for "howMany", which could be set to a negative value depending on the
direction, and we want to normalize the queries with enough information
about the direction keywords provided, including RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE or
all the ALL variants.

81f287dc92 Silence valgrind about pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required
When querying NUMA status of pages in shared memory, we need to touch
the memory first to get valid results. This may trigger valgrind
reports, because some of the memory (e.g. unpinned buffers) may be
marked as noaccess.

Solved by adding a valgrind suppresion. An alternative would be to
adjust the access/noaccess status before touching the memory, but that
seems far too invasive. It would require all those places to have
detailed knowledge of what the shared memory stores.

The pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required() macro is replaced with a function.
Macros are invisible to suppressions, so it'd have to suppress reports
for the caller - e.g. pg_get_shmem_allocations_numa(). So we'd suppress
reports for the whole function, and that seems to heavy-handed. It might
easily hide other valid issues.

2e94721747 Improve error handling of libxml2 calls in xml.c
This commit fixes some defects in the backend's xml.c, found upon
inspection of the internals of libxml2:
- xmlEncodeSpecialChars() can fail on malloc(), returning NULL back to
the caller.  xmltext() assumed that this could never happen.  Like other
code paths, a TRY/CATCH block is added there, covering also the fact
that cstring_to_text_with_len() could fail a memory allocation, where
the backend would miss to free the buffer allocated by
xmlEncodeSpecialChars().
- Some libxml2 routines called in xmlelement() can return NULL, like
xmlAddChildList() or xmlTextWriterStartElement().  Dedicated errors are
added for them.
- xml_xmlnodetoxmltype() missed that xmlXPathCastNodeToString() can fail
on an allocation failure.  In this case, the call can just be moved to
the existing TRY/CATCH block.

All these code paths would cause the server to crash.  As this is
unlikely a problem in practice, no backpatch is done.  Jim and I have
caught these defects, not sure who has scored the most.  The contrib
module xml2/ has similar defects, which will be addressed in a separate
change.

66e9df9f6e Fix some new issues with planning of PlaceHolderVars.
In the wake of commit a16ef313f, we need to deal with more cases
involving PlaceHolderVars in NestLoopParams than we did before.

For one thing, a16ef313f was incorrect to suppose that we could
rely on the required-outer relids of the lefthand path to decide
placement of nestloop-parameter PHVs.  As Richard Guo argued at
the time, we must look at the required-outer relids of the join
path itself.

For another, we have to apply replace_nestloop_params() to such
a PHV's expression, in case it contains references to values that
will be supplied from NestLoopParams of higher-level nestloops.

For another, we need to be more careful about the phnullingrels
of the PHV than we were being.  identify_current_nestloop_params
only bothered to ensure that the phnullingrels didn't contain
"too many" relids, but now it has to be exact, because setrefs.c
will apply both NRM_SUBSET and NRM_SUPERSET checks in different
places.  We can compute the correct relids by determining the
set of outer joins that should be able to null the PHV and then
subtracting whatever's been applied at or below this join.
Do the same for plain Vars, too.  (This should make it possible
to use NRM_EQUAL to process nestloop params in setrefs.c, but
I won't risk making such a change in v18 now.)

Lastly, if a nestloop parameter PHV was pulled up out of a subquery
and it contains a subquery that was originally pushed down from this
query level, then that will still be represented as a SubLink, because
SS_process_sublinks won't recurse into outer PHVs, so it didn't get
transformed during expression preprocessing in the subquery.  We can
substitute the version of the PHV's expression appearing in its
PlaceHolderInfo to ensure that that preprocessing has happened.
(Seems like this processing sequence could stand to be redesigned,
but again, late in v18 development is not the time for that.)

It's not very clear to me why the old have_dangerous_phv join-order
restriction prevented us from seeing the last three of these problems.
But given the lack of field complaints, it must have done so.

8319e5cb54 Obtain required table lock during cross-table constraint updates.
Sometimes a table's constraint may depend on a column of another
table, so that we have to update the constraint when changing the
referenced column's type.  We need to have lock on the constraint's
table to do that.  ATPostAlterTypeCleanup believed that this case
was only possible for FOREIGN KEY constraints, but it's wrong at
least for CHECK and EXCLUDE constraints; and in general, we'd
probably need exclusive lock to alter any sort of constraint.
So just remove the contype check and acquire lock for any other
table.  This prevents a "you don't have lock" assertion failure,
though no ill effect is observed in production builds.

We'll error out later anyway because we don't presently support
physically altering column types within stored composite columns.
But the catalog-munging is basically all there, so we may as well
make that part work.

8e03eb92e9 reverted the commit 39b66a91bd which allowed freezing
in the heap_insert() code path but forgot to remove the corresponding
check in heap_xlog_insert(). This code is extraneous but not harmful.
However, cleaning it up makes it very clear that, as of now, we do not
support any freezing of pages in the heap_insert() path.

060f420a03 Simplify vacuum VM update logging counters
We can simplify the VM counters added in dc6acfd910 to
lazy_vacuum_heap_page() and lazy_scan_new_or_empty().

We won't invoke lazy_vacuum_heap_page() unless there are dead line
pointers, so we know the page can't be all-visible.

In lazy_scan_new_or_empty(), we only update the VM if the page-level
hint PD_ALL_VISIBLE is clear, and the VM bit cannot be set if the page
level bit is clear because a subsequent page update would fail to clear
the visibility map bit.

Simplify the logic for determining which log counters to increment based
on this knowledge. Doing so is worthwhile because the old logic was
confusing and misguided.

Commit 14e87ffa5c introduced support for adding comments to NOT NULL

0cd69b3d7e Restrict virtual columns to use built-in functions and types
Just like selecting from a view is exploitable (CVE-2024-7348),
selecting from a table with virtual generated columns is exploitable.
Users who are concerned about this can avoid selecting from views, but
telling them to avoid selecting from tables is less practical.

To address this, this changes it so that generation expressions for
virtual generated columns are restricted to using built-in functions
and types, and the columns are restricted to having a built-in type.
We assume that built-in functions and types cannot be exploited for
this purpose.

In the future, this could be expanded by some new mechanism to declare
other functions and types as safe or trusted for this purpose, but
that is to be designed.

(An alternative approach might have been to expand the
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC to handle this, like the fix for
CVE-2024-7348.  But that is kind of an ugly approach.  That fix had to
fit in the constraints of fixing an ancient vulnerability in all
branches.  Since virtual generated columns are new, we're free from
the constraints of the past, and we can and should use cleaner
options.)

661643deda Avoid scribbling of VACUUM options
This fixes two issues with the handling of VacuumParams in vacuum_rel().
This code path has the idea to change the passed-in pointer of
VacuumParams for the "truncate" and "index_cleanup" options for the
relation worked on, impacting the two following scenarios where
incorrect options may be used because a VacuumParams pointer is shared
across multiple relations:
- Multiple relations in a single VACUUM command.
- TOAST relations vacuumed with their main relation.

The problem is avoided by providing to the two callers of vacuum_rel()
copies of VacuumParams, before the pointer is updated for the "truncate"
and "index_cleanup" options.

The refactoring of the VACUUM option and parameters done in 0d83138974
did not introduce an issue, but it has encouraged the problem we are
dealing with in this commit, with b84dbc8eb8 for "truncate" and
a96c41feec for "index_cleanup" that have been added a couple of years
after the initial refactoring.  HEAD will be improved with a different
patch that hardens the uses of VacuumParams across the tree.  This
cannot be backpatched as it introduces an ABI breakage.

The backend portion of the patch has been authored by Nathan, while I
have implemented the tests.  The tests rely on injection points to check
the option values, making them faster, more reliable than the tests
originally proposed by Shihao, and they also provide more coverage.
This part can only be backpatched down to v17.

fd519419c9 Prevent excessive delays before launching new logrep workers.
The logical replication launcher process would sometimes sleep
for as much as 3 minutes before noticing that it is supposed
to launch a new worker.  This could happen if
(1) WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach absorbed a process latch wakeup
that was meant to cause ApplyLauncherMain to do work, or
(2) logicalrep_worker_launch reported failure, either because of
resource limits or because the new worker terminated immediately.

In case (2), the expected behavior is that we retry the launch after
wal_retrieve_retry_interval, but that didn't reliably happen.

It's not clear how often such conditions would occur in the field,
but in our subscription test suite they are somewhat common,
especially in tests that exercise cases that cause quick worker
failure.  That causes the tests to take substantially longer than
they ought to do on typical setups.

To fix (1), make WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach re-set the latch
before returning if it cleared it while looping.  To fix (2), ensure
that we reduce wait_time to no more than wal_retrieve_retry_interval
when logicalrep_worker_launch reports failure.  In passing, fix a
couple of perhaps-hypothetical race conditions, e.g. examining
worker->in_use without a lock.

Backpatch to v16.  Problem (2) didn't exist before commit 5a3a95385
because the previous code always set wait_time to
wal_retrieve_retry_interval when launching a worker, regardless of
success or failure of the launch.  That behavior also greatly
mitigated problem (1), so I'm not excited about adapting the remainder
of the patch to the substantially-different code in older branches.

Make query jumbling also squash PARAM_EXTERN params
Commit 62d712ecfd made query jumbling squash lists of Consts as a
single element, but there's no reason not to treat PARAM_EXTERN
parameters the same.  For these purposes, these values are indeed
constants for any particular execution of a query.

In particular, this should make list squashing more useful for
applications using extended query protocol, which would use parameters
extensively.

A complication arises: if a query has both external parameters and
squashable lists, then the parameter number used as placeholder for the
squashed list might be inconsistent with regards to the parameter
numbers used by the query literal.  To reduce the surprise factor, all
parameters are renumbered starting from 1 in that case.

70d8a91f82 Remove excess assert from InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot()
ca307d5cec introduced keeping WAL segments by slot's last saved restart LSN.
It also added an assertion that the slot's restart LSN never goes backward.
However, situations when the restart LSN goes backward have been spotted by
buildfarm animals and investigated in the thread.

When pg_receivewal starts the replication, it sets the last replayed LSN to
the beginning of the segment, which is older than what
ReplicationSlotReserveWal() set for the slot.  A similar situation can happen
to pg_basebackup.  When standby reconnects to the primary, it sends the last
replayed LSN, which might be older than the last confirmed flush LSN.  In
both these situations, a concurrent checkpoint may trigger an assert trap.

a16ef313f2 Remove planner's have_dangerous_phv() join-order restriction.
Commit 85e5e222b, which added (a forerunner of) this logic,
argued that

    Adding the necessary complexity to make this work doesn't seem like
    it would be repaid in significantly better plans, because in cases
    where such a PHV exists, there is probably a corresponding join order
    constraint that would allow a good plan to be found without using the
    star-schema exception.

The flaw in this claim is that there may be other join-order
restrictions that prevent us from finding a join order that doesn't
involve a "dangerous" PHV.  In particular we now recognize that
small join_collapse_limit or from_collapse_limit could prevent it.
Therefore, let's bite the bullet and make the case work.

We don't have to extend the executor's support for nestloop parameters
as I thought at the time, because we can instead push the evaluation
of the placeholder's expression into the left-hand input of the
NestLoop node.  So there's not really a lot of downside to this
solution, and giving the planner more join-order flexibility should
have value beyond just avoiding failure.

Having said that, there surely is a nonzero risk of introducing
new bugs.  Since this failure mode escaped detection for ten years,
such cases don't seem common enough to justify a lot of risk.
Therefore, let's put this fix into master but leave the back branches
alone (for now anyway).

5861b1f343 Use SnapshotDirty when checking for conflicting index names.
While choosing an autogenerated name for an index, look for
pre-existing relations using a SnapshotDirty snapshot, instead of the
previous behavior that considered only committed-good pg_class rows.
This allows us to detect and avoid conflicts against indexes that are
still being built.

It's still possible to fail due to a race condition, but the window
is now just the amount of time that it takes DefineIndex to validate
all its parameters, call smgrcreate(), and enter the index's pg_class
row.  Formerly the race window covered the entire time needed to
create and fill an index, which could be very long if the table is
large.  Worse, if the conflicting index creation is part of a larger
transaction, it wouldn't be visible till COMMIT.

So this isn't a complete solution, but it should greatly ameliorate
the problem, and the patch is simple enough to be back-patchable.

It might at some point be useful to do the same for pg_constraint
entries (cf. ChooseConstraintName, ConstraintNameExists, and related
functions).  However, in the absence of field complaints, I'll leave
that alone for now.  The relation-name test should be good enough for
index-based constraints, while foreign-key constraints seem to be okay
since they require exclusive locks to create.

d87d07b7ad Fix re-distributing previously distributed invalidation messages during logical decoding.
Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages
from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress
transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its
original invalidation messages but also previously distributed
messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase
in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately
causing memory allocation failure.

This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation
messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing
these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of
distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is
limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the
distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we
invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation
messages need to be executed.

Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by
commit 4909b38af0.

Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store
the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in
back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the
size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems
unlikely.

Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of
ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message
overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is
unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags
field.

e9a3615a52 aio: Add missing memory barrier when waiting for IO handle
Previously there was no memory barrier enforcing correct memory ordering when
waiting for a free IO handle. However, in the much more common case of waiting
for IO to complete, memory barriers already were present.

On strongly ordered architectures like x86 this had no negative consequences,
but on some armv8 hardware (observed on Apple hardware), it was possible for
the update, in the IO worker, to PgAioHandle->state to become visible before
->distilled_result becoming visible, leading to rather confusing assertion
failures. The failures were rare enough that the bug sometimes took days to
reproduce when running 027_stream_regress in a loop.

Once finally debugged, it was easy enough to come up with a much quicker
repro: Trigger a lot of very fast IO by limiting io_combine_limit to 1 and
ensure that we always have to wait for a free handle by setting
io_max_concurrency to 1. Triggering lots of concurrent seqscans in that setup
triggers the issue within seconds.

One reason this was hard to debug was that the assertion failure most commonly
happened in WaitReadBuffers(), rather than in the AIO subsystem itself. The
assertions added in this commit make problems like this easier to understand.

Also add a comment to the IO worker explaining that we rely on the lwlock
acquisition for correct memory ordering.

I think it'd be good to add a tap test that stress tests buffer IO, but that's
material for a separate patch.

Thanks a lot to Alexander and Konstantin for all the debugging help.

b27644bade Sync typedefs.list with the buildfarm.
Our maintenance of typedefs.list has been a little haphazard
(and apparently we can't alphabetize worth a darn).  Replace
the file with the authoritative list from our buildfarm, and
run pgindent using that.

I also updated the additions/exclusions lists in pgindent where
necessary to keep pgindent from messing things up significantly.
Notably, now that regex_t and some related names are macros not real
typedefs, we have to whitelist them explicitly.  The exclusions list
has also drifted noticeably, presumably due to changes of system
headers on the buildfarm animals that contribute to the list.

Unlike in prior years, I've not manually added typedef names that
are missing from the buildfarm's list because they are not used to
declare any variables or fields.  So there are a few places where
the typedef declaration itself is formatted worse than before,
e.g. typedef enum IoMethod.  I could preserve the names that were
manually added to the list previously, but I'd really prefer to find
a less manual way of dealing with these cases.  A quick grep finds
about 75 such symbols, most of which have never gotten any special
treatment.

Per discussion among pgsql-release, doing this now seems appropriate
even though we're still a week or two away from making the v18 branch.

eb124c3d6d Add TAP tests to check replication slot advance during the checkpoint
The new tests verify that logical and physical replication slots are still
valid after an immediate restart on checkpoint completion when the slot was
advanced during the checkpoint.

This commit introduces two new injection points to make these tests possible:

* checkpoint-before-old-wal-removal - triggered in the checkpointer process
  just before old WAL segments cleanup;
* logical-replication-slot-advance-segment - triggered in
  LogicalConfirmReceivedLocation() when restart_lsn was changed enough to
  point to the next WAL segment.

ca307d5cec Keep WAL segments by slot's last saved restart LSN
The patch fixes the issue with the unexpected removal of old WAL segments
after checkpoint, followed by an immediate restart.  The issue occurs when
a slot is advanced after the start of the checkpoint and before old WAL
segments are removed at the end of the checkpoint.

The patch introduces a new in-memory state for slots: last_saved_restart_lsn,
which is used to calculate the oldest LSN for removing WAL segments. This
state is updated every time with the current restart_lsn at the moment when
the slot is saved to disk.

This fix changes the shared memory layout.  It's applied to HEAD only because
we don't have to preserve ABI compatibility during the beta stage.  Another
fix that doesn't affect the ABI is committed to back branches.

c45a1dba0d nbtree: _bt_readnextpage doesn't affect markPos.
_bt_readnextpage expects so->currPos.buf to be InvalidBuffer (and for
the position's page to be unlocked) when called.  However, it does not
expect there to be no pins held on any page.  In particular, so->markPos
might hold a separate pin, both before and after the call.  Fix some
comments that seemed to suggest otherwise.

Follow-up commit to commit 7c319f54, which made _bt_killitems drop pins

Fix squashing algorithm for query texts
The algorithm to squash lists of constants added by commit 62d712ecfd
was a bit too simplistic; we wanted to avoid adding unnecessary
complexity, but cases like direct function calls of typecasting
functions (and others) were missed, and bogus SQL syntax was being shown
in pg_stat_statements normalized query text field.  To fix normalization
for those cases, we need the parser to transmit information about were
each list of constant values starts and ends, so add that to a couple of
nodes.  Also add a few more test cases to make sure we're doing the
right thing.

The patch initially submitted by Sami added a new private struct in
gram.y to carry the start/end information for A_Expr, but I (Álvaro)
decided that a better fix was to remove the parser indirection via the
in_expr production, and instead create separate components in the a_expr
rule.  I'm surprised that this works and doesn't require more changes,
but I assume (without checking) that the grammar used to be more complex
and got simplified at some point.

Bump catversion.

f85f6ab051 Revert support for improved tracking of nested queries
This commit reverts the two following commits:
- 499edb0974, track more precisely query locations for nested
statements.
- 06450c7b8c, a follow-up fix of 499edb0974 with query locations.
The test introduced in this commit is not reverted.  This is proving
useful to track a problem that only pgaudit was able to detect.

These prove to have issues with the tracking of SELECT statements, when
these use multiple parenthesis which is something supported by the
grammar.  Incorrect location and lengths are causing pg_stat_statements
to become confused, failing its job in query normalization with
potential out-of-bound writes because the location and the length may
not match with what can be handled.  A lot of the query patterns
discussed when this issue was reported have no test coverage in the main
regression test suite, or the recovery test 027_stream_regress.pl would
have caught the problems as pg_stat_statements is loaded by the node
running the regression tests.  A first step would be to improve the test
coverage to stress more the query normalization logic.

A different portion of this work was done in 45e0ba30fc, with the
addition of tests for nested queries.  These can be left in the tree.
They are useful to track the way inner queries are currently tracked by
PGSS with non-top-level entries, and will be useful when reconsidering
in the future the work reverted here.

7c319f5491 Make _bt_killitems drop pins it acquired itself.
Teach nbtree's _bt_killitems to leave the so->currPos page that it sets
LP_DEAD items on in whatever state it was in when _bt_killitems was
called.  In particular, make sure that so->dropPin scans don't acquire a
pin whose reference is saved in so->currPos.buf.

Allowing _bt_killitems to change so->currPos.buf like this is wrong.
The immediate consequence of allowing it is that code in _bt_steppage
(that copies so->currPos into so->markPos) will behave as if the scan is
a !so->dropPin scan.  so->markPos will therefore retain the buffer pin
indefinitely, even though _bt_killitems only needs to acquire a pin
(along with a lock) for long enough to mark known-dead items LP_DEAD.

This issue came to light following a report of a failure of an assertion
from recent commit e6eed40e.  The test case in question involves the use
of mark and restore.  An initial call to _bt_killitems takes place that
leaves so->currPos.buf in a state that is inconsistent with the scan
being so->dropPin.  A subsequent call to _bt_killitems for the same
position (following so->currPos being saved in so->markPos, and then
restored as so->currPos) resulted in the failure of an assertion that
tests that so->currPos.buf is InvalidBuffer when the scan is so->dropPin
(non-assert builds got a "resource was not closed" WARNING instead).

The same problem exists on earlier releases, though the issue is far
more subtle there.  Recent commit e6eed40e introduced the so->dropPin
field as a partial replacement for testing so->currPos.buf directly.
Earlier releases won't get an assertion failure (or buffer pin leak),
but they will allow the second _bt_killitems call from the test case to
behave as if a buffer pin was consistently held since the original call
to _bt_readpage.  This is wrong; there will have been an initial window
during which no pin was held on the so->currPos page, and yet the second
_bt_killitems call will neglect to check if so->currPos.lsn continues to
match the page's now-current LSN.

As a result of all this, it's just about possible that _bt_killitems
will set the wrong items LP_DEAD (on release branches).  This could only
happen with merge joins (the sole user of nbtree mark/restore support),
when a concurrently inserted index tuple used a recently-recycled TID
(and only when the new tuple was inserted onto the same page as a
distinct concurrently-removed tuple with the same TID).  This is exactly
the scenario that _bt_killitems' check of the page's now-current LSN
against the LSN stashed in currPos was supposed to prevent.

A follow-up commit will make nbtree completely stop conditioning whether
or not a position's pin needs to be dropped on whether the 'buf' field
is set.  All call sites that might need to drop a still-held pin will be
taught to rely on the scan-level so->dropPin field recently introduced
by commit e6eed40e.  That will make bugs of the same general nature as
this one impossible (or make them much easier to detect, at least).

137935bd11 Don't reduce output request size on non-Unix-socket connections.
Traditionally, libpq's pqPutMsgEnd has rounded down the amount-to-send
to be a multiple of 8K when it is eagerly writing some data.  This
still seems like a good idea when sending through a Unix socket, as
pipes typically have a buffer size of 8K or some fraction/multiple of
that.  But there's not much argument for it on a TCP connection, since
(a) standard MTU values are not commensurate with that, and (b) the
kernel typically applies its own packet splitting/merging logic.

Worse, our SSL and GSSAPI code paths both have API stipulations that
if they fail to send all the data that was offered in the previous
write attempt, we mustn't offer less data in the next attempt; else
we may get "SSL error: bad length" or "GSSAPI caller failed to
retransmit all data needing to be retried".  The previous write
attempt might've been pqFlush attempting to send everything in the
buffer, so pqPutMsgEnd can't safely write less than the full buffer
contents.  (Well, we could add some more state to track exactly how
much the previous write attempt was, but there's little value evident
in such extra complication.)  Hence, apply the round-down only on
AF_UNIX sockets, where we never use SSL or GSSAPI.

Interestingly, we had a very closely related bug report before,
which I attempted to fix in commit d053a879b.  But the test case
we had then seemingly didn't trigger this pqFlush-then-pqPutMsgEnd
scenario, or at least we failed to recognize this variant of the bug.

e6eed40e44 Avoid BufferGetLSNAtomic() calls during nbtree scans.
Delay calling BufferGetLSNAtomic() until we finish reading a page that
actually contains items that btgettuple will return to the executor.
This reduces the number of calls during plain index scans (we'll only
call BufferGetLSNAtomic() when _bt_readpage returns true), and totally
eliminates calls during index-only scans, bitmap index scans, and plain
index scans of an unlogged relation.

Currently, when checksums (or wal_log_hints) are enabled, acquiring a
page's LSN in BufferGetLSNAtomic() involves locking the buffer header
(which involves the use of spinlocks).  Testing has shown that enabling
page-level checksums causes large regressions with certain workloads,
especially on larger multi-socket systems.

The regression isn't tied to any Postgres 18 commit.  However, Postgres
18 commit 04bec894 made initdb use checksums by default, so it seems
prudent to address the problem now.

Avoid bogus scans of partitions when validating FKs to partitioned tables
Validating an unvalidated foreign key that references a partitioned
table would try to queue validations for each individual partition of
the referenced table, but this is wrong: each individual partition would
not necessarily have all the referenced rows, so errors would be raised.
Avoid doing that.  The pg_constraint rows that cause this to happen are
only there to support the action triggers that implement the DELETE/
UPDATE actions of the FK, so no validating scan is necessary.

This was an oversight in commit b663b9436e.

An equivalent oversight exists for NOT ENFORCED constraints, which is

This strip logic was implemented on expand_dynamic_library_name()

this function is also called when the LOAD command is executed, and
since the user may explicitly pass the $libdir prefix on LOAD
parameter, we should not strip in this case.

This commit fixes this issue by moving the strip logic from
expand_dynamic_library_name() to load_external_function() that is
called when the running the SQL script from extensions.

OldestXmin must be determined before RelationGetNumberOfBlocks()
calculates the number of blocks in the relation that will be vacuumed.
Otherwise tuples older than OldestXmin may be inserted into the end of
the relation into blocks that are not vacuumed. If additional tuples
newer than those inserted into unscanned blocks but older than
OldestXmin are inserted into free space earlier in the relation, the
result could be advancing pg_class.relfrozenxid to a newer value than an
unfrozen XID in one of the unscanned heap pages.

Assigning an incorrect relfrozenxid can lead to data loss, so it is
imperative that it correctly reflect the oldest unfrozen xid.

32edf732e8 Rename gist stratnum support function
Commit 7406ab623f added a gist support function that we internally
refer to by the symbol GIST_STRATNUM_PROC.  This translated from
"well-known" strategy numbers to opfamily-specific strategy numbers.
However, we later (commit 630f9a43ce) changed this to fit into
index-AM-level compare type mapping, so this function actually now
maps from compare type to opfamily-specific strategy numbers.  So this
name is no longer fitting.

Moreover, the index AM level also supports the opposite, a function to
map from strategy number to compare type.  This is currently not
supported in gist, but one might wonder what this function is supposed
to be called when it is added.

This patch changes the naming of the gist-level functionality to be
more in line with the index-AM-level functionality.  This makes sense
because these are essentially the same thing on different levels.
This also changes the names of the externally visible functions that
are provided for use as such a support function.

5231ed8262 Use replay LSN as target for cascading logical WAL senders
A cascading WAL sender doing logical decoding (as known as doing its
work on a standby) has been using as flush LSN the value returned by
GetStandbyFlushRecPtr() (last position safely flushed to disk).  This is
incorrect as such processes are only able to decode changes up to the
LSN that has been replayed by the startup process.

This commit changes cascading logical WAL senders to use the replay LSN,
as returned by GetXLogReplayRecPtr().  This distinction is important
particularly during shutdown, when WAL senders need to send any
remaining available data to their clients, switching WAL senders to a
caught-up state.  Using the latest flush LSN rather than the replay LSN
could cause the WAL senders to be stuck in an infinite loop preventing
them to shut down, as the startup process does not run when WAL senders
attempt to catch up, so they could keep waiting for work that would
never happen.

Backpatch down to v16, where logical decoding on standbys has been

e5a3c9d9b5 postgres_fdw: Inherit the local transaction's access/deferrable modes.
Previously, postgres_fdw always 1) opened a remote transaction in READ
WRITE mode even when the local transaction was READ ONLY, causing a READ
ONLY transaction using it that references a foreign table mapped to a
remote view executing a volatile function to write in the remote side,
and 2) opened the remote transaction in NOT DEFERRABLE mode even when
the local transaction was DEFERRABLE, causing a SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY
DEFERRABLE transaction using it to abort due to a serialization failure
in the remote side.

To avoid these, modify postgres_fdw to open a remote transaction in the
same access/deferrable modes as the local transaction.  This commit also
modifies it to open a remote subtransaction in the same access mode as
the local subtransaction.

Although these issues exist since the introduction of postgres_fdw,
there have been no reports from the field.  So it seems fine to just fix
them in master only.

b006bcd531 Fix MERGE into a plain inheritance parent table.
When a MERGE's target table is the parent of an inheritance tree, any
INSERT actions insert into the parent table using ModifyTableState's
rootResultRelInfo. However, there are two bugs in the way is
initialized:

1. ExecInitMerge() incorrectly uses a different ResultRelInfo entry
from ModifyTableState's resultRelInfo array to build the insert
projection, which may not be compatible with rootResultRelInfo.

2. ExecInitModifyTable() does not fully initialize rootResultRelInfo.
Specifically, ri_WithCheckOptions, ri_WithCheckOptionExprs,
ri_returningList, and ri_projectReturning are not initialized.

This can lead to crashes, or incorrect query results due to failing to
check WCO's or process the RETURNING list for INSERT actions.

Fix both these bugs in ExecInitMerge(), noting that it is only
necessary to fully initialize rootResultRelInfo if the MERGE has
INSERT actions and the target table is a plain inheritance parent.

Backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

706054b11b Ensure we have a snapshot when updating various system catalogs.
A few places that access system catalogs don't set up an active
snapshot before potentially accessing their TOAST tables.  To fix,
push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might
require accessing one of these TOAST tables, and pop it shortly
afterwards.  While at it, this commit adds some rather strict
assertions in an attempt to prevent such issues in the future.

Commit 16bf24e0e4 recently removed pg_replication_origin's TOAST
table in order to fix the same problem for that catalog.  On the
back-branches, those bugs are left in place.  We cannot easily
remove a catalog's TOAST table on released major versions, and only
replication origins with extremely long names are affected.  Given
the low severity of the issue, fixing older versions doesn't seem
worth the trouble of significantly modifying the patch.

Also, on v13 and v14, the aforementioned strict assertions have
been omitted because commit 2776922201, which added
HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot(), was not back-patched.  While we
could probably back-patch it now, I've opted against it because it
seems unlikely that new TOAST snapshot issues will be introduced in
the oldest supported versions.

d98cefe114 Allow larger packets during GSSAPI authentication exchange.
Our GSSAPI code only allows packet sizes up to 16kB.  However it
emerges that during authentication, larger packets might be needed;
various authorities suggest 48kB or 64kB as the maximum packet size.
This limitation caused login failure for AD users who belong to many
AD groups.  To add insult to injury, we gave an unintelligible error
message, typically "GSSAPI context establishment error: The routine
must be called again to complete its function: Unknown error".

As noted in code comments, the 16kB packet limit is effectively a
protocol constant once we are doing normal data transmission: the
GSSAPI code splits the data stream at those points, and if we change
the limit then we will have cross-version compatibility problems
due to the receiver's buffer being too small in some combinations.
However, during the authentication exchange the packet sizes are
not determined by us, but by the underlying GSSAPI library.  So we
might as well just try to send what the library tells us to.
An unpatched recipient will fail on a packet larger than 16kB,
but that's not worse than the sender failing without even trying.
So this doesn't introduce any meaningful compatibility problem.

We still need a buffer size limit, but we can easily make it be
64kB rather than 16kB until transport negotiation is complete.
(Larger values were discussed, but don't seem likely to add
anything.)

961553daf5 Make XactLockTableWait() and ConditionalXactLockTableWait() interruptable more.
Previously, XactLockTableWait() and ConditionalXactLockTableWait() could enter
a non-interruptible loop when they successfully acquired a lock on a transaction
but the transaction still appeared to be running. Since this loop continued
until the transaction completed, it could result in long, uninterruptible waits.

Although this scenario is generally unlikely since XactLockTableWait() and
ConditionalXactLockTableWait() can basically acquire a transaction lock
only when the transaction is not running, it can occur in a hot standby.
In such cases, the transaction may still appear active due to
the KnownAssignedXids list, even while no lock on the transaction exists.
For example, this situation can happen when creating a logical replication
slot on a standby.

The cause of the non-interruptible loop was the absence of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()
within it. This commit adds CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the loop in both functions,
ensuring they can be interrupted safely.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

c3eda50b06 Change internal queryid type from uint64 to int64
uint64 was perhaps chosen in cff440d36 as the type was uint32 prior to
that widening work.

Having this as uint64 doesn't make much sense and just adds the overhead of
having to remember that we always output this in its signed form.  Let's
remove that overhead.

The signed form output is seemingly required since we have no way to
represent the full range of uint64 in an SQL type.  We use BIGINT in places
like pg_stat_statements, which maps directly to int64.

The release notes "Source Code" section may want to mention this
adjustment as some extensions may wish to adjust their code.

e5d64fd654 Tighten parsing of datetime input.
ParseFraction only expects to deal with fields that contain a decimal
point and digit(s).  However it's possible in some edge cases for it
to be passed input that doesn't look like that.  In particular the
input could look like a valid floating-point number, such as ".123e6".
strtod() will happily eat that, possibly producing a result that is
not within the expected range 0..1, which can result in integer
overflow in the callers.  That doesn't have any security consequences,
but it's still not very desirable.  Fix by checking that the input
has the expected form.

Similarly, DecodeNumberField only expects to deal with fields that
contain a decimal point and digit(s), but it's sometimes abused to
parse strings that might not look like that.  This could result in
failure to reject bogus input, yielding silly results.  Again, fix
by rejecting input that doesn't look as-expected.  That decision
also means that we can affirmatively answer the very old comment
questioning whether we couldn't save some duplicative code by
using ParseFractionalSecond here.

While these changes should only reject input that nobody would
consider valid, it still doesn't seem like a change to make in
stable branches.  Apply to HEAD only.

be86ca103a Fix memory leakage when function compilation fails.
In pl_comp.c, initially create the plpgsql function's cache context
under the assumed-short-lived caller's context, and reparent it under
CacheMemoryContext only upon success.  This avoids a process-lifespan
leak of 8kB or more if the function contains syntax errors.  (This
leakage has existed for a long time without many complaints, but as
we move towards a possibly multi-threaded future, getting rid of
process-lifespan leaks grows more important.)

In funccache.c, arrange to reclaim the CachedFunction struct in case
the language-specific compile callback function throws an error;
previously, that resulted in an independent process-lifespan leak.
This is arguably a new bug in v18, since the leakage now occurred
for SQL-language functions as well as plpgsql.

Also, don't fill fn_xmin/fn_tid/dcallback until after successful
completion of the compile callback.  This avoids a scenario where a
partially-built function cache might appear already valid upon later
inspection, and another scenario where dcallback might fail upon being
presented with an incomplete cache entry.  We would have to reach such
a faulty cache entry via a pre-existing fn_extra pointer, so I'm not
sure these scenarios correspond to any live bug.  (The predecessor
code in pl_comp.c never took any care about this, and we've heard no
complaints about that.)  Still, it's better to be careful.

Given the lack of field complaints, I'm not very excited about
back-patching any of this; but it seems still in-scope for v18.

regular character.  Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions
should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with

4c08ecd161 Fix assertion when decrementing eager scanning success and failure counters.
Previously, we asserted that the eager scan's success and failure
counters were positive before decrementing them. However, this
assumption was incorrect, as it's possible that some blocks have
already been eagerly scanned by the time eager scanning is disabled.

This commit replaces the assertions with guards to handle this
scenario gracefully.

With this change, we continue to allow read-ahead operations by the
read stream that exceed the success and failure caps. While there is a
possibility that overruns will trigger eager scans of additional
pages, this does not pose a practical concern as the overruns will not
be substantial and remain within an acceptable range.

Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit
risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee
anything about whether its result is long-lived.  It appears okay
so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but

d376ab570e In ExecInitModifyTable, don't scribble on the source plan.
The code carelessly modified mtstate->ps.plan->targetlist,
which it's not supposed to do.  Fortunately, there's not
really any need to do that because the planner already
set up a perfectly acceptable targetlist for the plan node.
We just need to remove the erroneous assignments and update some
relevant comments.

As it happens, the erroneous assignments caused the targetlist to
point to a different part of the source plan tree, so that there
isn't really a risk of the pointer becoming dangling after executor
termination.  The only visible effect of this change we can find is
that EXPLAIN will show upper references to the ModifyTable's output
expressions using different variables.  Formerly it showed Vars from
the first target relation that survived executor-startup pruning.
Now it always shows such references using the first relation appearing
in the planner output, independently of what happens during executor
pruning.  On the whole that seems like a good thing.

Also make a small tweak in ExplainPreScanNode to ensure that the first
relation will receive a refname assignment in set_rtable_names, even
if it got pruned at startup.  Previously the Vars might be shown
without any table qualification, which is confusing in a multi-table
query.

I considered back-patching this, but since the bug doesn't seem to
have any really terrible consequences in existing branches, it
seems better to not change their EXPLAIN output.  It's not too late
for v18 though, especially since v18 already made other changes in
the EXPLAIN output for these cases.

0bd762e81f Fix incorrect WAL description for PREPARE TRANSACTION record.
Since commit 8b1dccd37c, the PREPARE TRANSACTION WAL record includes
information about dropped statistics entries. However, the WAL resource
manager description function for PREPARE TRANSACTION record failed to
parse this information correctly and always assumed there were
no such entries.

As a result, for example, pg_waldump could not display the dropped

The root cause was that ParsePrepareRecord() did not set the number of
statistics entries to drop on commit or abort. These values remained
zero-initialized and were never updated from the parsed record.

This commit fixes the issue by properly setting those values during parsing.
With this fix, pg_waldump can now correctly report dropped statistics

06450c7b8c Fix regression with location calculation of nested statements
The statement location calculated for some nested query cases was wrong
when multiple queries are sent as a single string, these being separated
by semicolons.  As pointed by Sami Imseih, the location calculation was
incorrect when the last query of nested statement with multiple queries
does **NOT** finish with a semicolon for the last statement.  In this
case, the statement length tracked by RawStmt is 0, which is equivalent
to say that the string should be used until its end.  The code
previously discarded this case entirely, causing the location to remain
at 0, the same as pointing at the beginning of the string.  This caused
pg_stat_statements to store incorrect query strings.

This issue has been introduced in 499edb0974.  I have looked at the
diffs generated by pgaudit back then, and noticed the difference
generated for this nested query case, but I have missed the point that
it was an actual regression with an existing case.  A test case is added
in pg_stat_statements to provide some coverage, restoring the pre-17
behavior for the calculation of the query locations.  Special thanks to
David Steele, who, through an analysis of the test diffs generated by
pgaudit with the new v18 logic, has poked me about the fact that my
original analysis of the matter was wrong.

The test output of pg_overexplain is updated to reflect the new logic,
as the new locations refer to the beginning of the argument passed to
the function explain_filter().  When the module was introduced in
8d5ceb113e, which was after 499edb0974 (for the new calculation
method), the locations of the test were not actually right: the plan
generated for the query string given in input of the function pointed to
the top-level query, not the nested one.

acad909321 aio: Fix possible state confusions due to interrupt processing
elog()/ereport() process interrupts, iff the log message is < ERROR and the
log message will be emitted. aio's debug messages are emitted via ereport(),
but in some places the code is not ready for interrupts to be processed.

Fix the issue using a few different methods:

1) handle interrupts arriving concurrently - in some places it's easy to
   detect that by fetching the handle's generation a bit earlier
2) Check if interrupts made the work needing to be done obsolete
3) Disallow interrupts, as there's no sane way to make interrupt processing
   safe

To prevent some similar issues from being re-introduced, assert that
interrupts are held in pgaio_io_update_state().

This commit also fixes the contents of a debug message I added in 039bfc457e.

29f7ce6fe7 Fix deparsing FETCH FIRST <expr> ROWS WITH TIES
In the grammar, <expr> is a c_expr, which accepts only a limited set
of integer literals and simple expressions without parens. The
deparsing logic didn't quite match the grammar rule, and failed to use
parens e.g. for "5::bigint".

To fix, always surround the expression with parens. Would be nice to
omit the parens in simple cases, but unfortunately it's non-trivial to
detect such simple cases. Even if the expression is a simple literal
123 in the original query, after parse analysis it becomes a FuncExpr
with COERCE_IMPLICIT_CAST rather than a simple Const.

fe29b2a1da Fix Assert failure in XMLTABLE parser
In an XMLTABLE expression, columns can be marked NOT NULL, and the
parser internally fabricates an option named "is_not_null" to
represent this.  However, the parser also allows users to specify
arbitrary option names.  This creates a conflict: a user can
explicitly use "is_not_null" as an option name and assign it a
non-Boolean value, which violates internal assumptions and triggers an
assertion failure.

To fix, this patch checks whether a user-supplied name collides with
the internally reserved option name and raises an error if so.
Additionally, the internal name is renamed to "__pg__is_not_null" to
further reduce the risk of collision with user-defined names.

773db22269 Suppress unnecessary explicit sorting for EPQ mergejoin path
When building a ForeignPath for a joinrel, if there's a possibility
that EvalPlanQual will be executed, we must identify a suitable path
for EPQ checks.  If the outer or inner path of the chosen path is a
ForeignPath representing a pushed-down join, we replace it with its
fdw_outerpath to ensure that the EPQ check path consists entirely of
local joins.

If the chosen path is a MergePath, and its outer or inner path is a
ForeignPath that is not already well enough ordered, the MergePath
will have non-NIL outersortkeys or innersortkeys indicating the
desired ordering to be created by an explicit Sort node.  If we then
replace the outer or inner path with its corresponding fdw_outerpath,
and that path is already sufficiently ordered, we end up in an
inconsistent state: the MergePath has non-NIL outersortkeys or
innersortkeys, and its input path is already properly ordered.  This
inconsistency can result in an Assert failure or the addition of a
redundant Sort node.

To fix, check if the new outer or inner path of a MergePath is already
properly sorted, and set its outersortkeys or innersortkeys to NIL if
so.

This commit removes its TOAST table to avoid needing to set up a

that attempts to set long names will fail with a more user-friendly
error.  Those chosen limit of 512 bytes should be sufficient to

5f4d98d4f3 Prevent premature nbtree array advancement.
nbtree array index scans could fail to return matching tuples in rare
cases where the missed tuples cover key space that the scan's arrays
incorrectly indicate has already been read.  These cases involved nearby
tuples with NULL values that were evaluated using a skip array key while
in pstate.forcenonrequired mode.

To fix, prevent forcenonrequired mode from prematurely advancing the
scan's array keys beyond key space that the scan has yet to read tuples
from: reset the scan's array keys (to the first elements in the current
scan direction) before the _bt_checkkeys call for pstate.finaltup.  That
way _bt_checkkeys starts from a clean slate, which ensures that it will
call _bt_advance_array_keys (while passing it sktrig_required=true).
This reliably restores the invariant that the scan's arrays always
accurately track its progress through the index's key space (at least
when the scan is "between pages").

comparisons.

7e25c9363a nbtree: tighten up array recheck rules.
Be more conservative when performing a scheduled recheck of an nbtree
scan's array keys once on the next page, having set so->scanBehind: back
out of reading the page (perform another primitive scan instead) when
the next page's high key/finaltup has an untruncated prefix of matching
values and truncated suffix attributes associated with lower-order keys.
In other words, stop assuming that the lower-order keys have been
satisfied by the truncated suffix attributes in this context (only do so
when considering scheduling a recheck within _bt_advance_array_keys).

The new behavior is more logical: if the next page read after setting
so->scanBehind can only contain tuples that are themselves "behind the
scan", that's reason enough to cut our losses.  In general, when we set
so->scanBehind, we only expect to perform one recheck on the next page
to make a final decision about whether or not to continue the current
primitive index scan.  It seems unprincipled for the recheck to allow a
_bt_readpage to continue unless the scan's arrays will advance/unless
the page might actually contain relevant tuples.

In practice it is highly unlikely that things will line up like this
(the untruncated prefix of attribute values from the next page's high
key is seldom an exact match for their corresponding array's current
element following array advancement on the original/previous page).
That gives us all the more reason to keep things simple and consistent.

This was arguably an oversight in commit 9a2e2a285a, which improved
nbtree array primitive scan scheduling.

0f08df4068 Avoid treating nonrequired nbtree keys as required.
Consistently prevent nbtree array advancement from treating a scankey as
required when operating in pstate.forcenonrequired mode.  Otherwise, we
risk a NULL pointer dereference.  This was possible in the path where
_bt_check_compare is called to recheck a tuple that advanced all of the
scan's arrays to matching values: its continuescan=false handling
expects _bt_advance_array_keys to have been called with a valid pstate,
but it'll always be NULL during sktrig_required=false calls (which is
how _bt_advance_array_keys must be called when pstate.forcenonrequired).

Oversight in commit 8a510275, which optimized nbtree search scan key
comparisons.

1681a70df3 Fix memory leak in _gin_parallel_merge
To insert the merged GIN entries in _gin_parallel_merge, the leader
calls ginEntryInsert(). This may allocate memory, e.g. for a new leaf
tuple. This was allocated in the PortalContext, and kept until the end
of the index build. For most GIN indexes the amount of leaked memory is
negligible, but for custom opclasses with large keys it may cause OOMs.

Fixed by calling ginEntryInsert() in a temporary memory context, reset
after each insert. Other ginEntryInsert() callers do this too, except
that the context is reset after batches of inserts. More frequent resets
don't seem to hurt performance, it may even help it a bit.

Report and fix by Vinod Sridharan.

e83a8ae447 Don't use a tuplestore if we don't have to for SQL-language functions.
We only need a tuplestore if we're actually going to accumulate
multiple result tuples.  Obviously then we don't need one for non-set-
returning functions; but even a SRF doesn't need one if we decide to
use "lazyEval" (one row at a time) mode.  In these cases, it's
sufficient to use the junkfilter's result slot to hold the single row
that's due to be returned.  We just need to "materialize" that slot
to ensure it holds onto the data past shutdown of the sub-executor.

The original intent of this patch was partially to save a few cycles
(by not putting tuples into a tuplestore only to pull them back out
immediately), but mostly to ensure that we don't use a tuplestore
in non-set-returning functions.  That's because I had concerns
about whether a tuplestore is safe to keep across queries,
which was possible for functions invoked via long-lived FmgrInfos
such as those kept in the typcache.  There are no cases where SRFs
are called that way, so getting rid of the tuplestore in non-SRFs
should make things safer.

However, it emerges that running fmgr_sql in a short-lived context
(as 595d1efed made it do) makes the existing coding unsafe anyway:
we can end up with a long-lived TupleTableSlot holding a freeable
reference to a short-lived tuple, resulting in a double-free crash.
Not trying to pull tuples out of the tuplestore using that slot
dodges the problem, so I'm going to commit this now rather than
invent a band-aid solution for v18.

Handle self-referencing FKs correctly in partitioned tables
For self-referencing foreign keys in partitioned tables, we weren't
handling creation of pg_constraint rows during CREATE TABLE PARTITION AS
as well as ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION.  This is an old bug -- mostly,
we broke this in 614a406b4f while trying to fix it (so 12.13, 13.9,
14.6 and 15.0 and up all behave incorrectly).  This commit reverts part
of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more
tests to verify the parts we broke, not just the catalog contents but
also the user-visible behavior.

Backpatch to all live branches.  In branches 13 and 14, commit
46a8c27a72 changed the behavior during DETACH to drop a FK
constraint rather than trying to repair it, because the complete fix of
repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous
fixes.  For this reason, the test behavior in those branches is a bit
different.  However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly
there.

In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign
keys on partitioned tables be recreated if partitions have been created
or attached after the FK was created, keeping in mind that violating
rows might already be present on the referencing side.

81eaaa2c41 Make "directory" setting work with extension_control_path
The extension_control_path setting (commit 4f7f7b0375) did not
support extensions that set a custom "directory" setting in their
control file.  Very few extensions use that and during the discussion
on the previous commit it was suggested to maybe remove that
functionality.  But a fix was easier than initially thought, so this
just adds that support.  The fix is to use the control->control_dir as
a share dir to return the path of the extension script files.

To make this work more sensibly overall, the directory suffix
"extension" is no longer to be included in the extension_control_path
value.  To quote the patch, it would be

-extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension:/home/my_project/share/extension:$system'
+extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql:/home/my_project/share:$system'

During the initial patch, there was some discussion on which of these
two approaches would be better, and the committed patch was a 50/50
decision.  But the support for the "directory" setting pushed it the
other way, and also it seems like many people didn't like the previous
behavior much.

810a8b1c80 Give up on running with NetBSD/OpenBSD's default semaphore settings.
This reverts commit 38da053463, which
attempted to preserve our ability to start with only 60 semaphores.

Subsequent changes (particularly 55b454d0e) have put that idea pretty
much permanently out of reach: people wishing to use Postgres v18 on
OpenBSD or NetBSD will have no choice but to increase those platforms'
default values of SEMMNI and SEMMNS.

Hence, revert 38da05346's changes in SEMAS_PER_SET and the minimum
tested value of max_connections.  Adjust a comment from the subsequent
patch 6d0154196, and tweak the wording in runtime.sgml to make it
clear that changing SEMMNI/SEMMNS is no longer even a little bit
optional on these platforms.

Although 38da05346 was later back-patched into v17, leave that branch
alone: it's still capable of starting with 60 semaphores, and there's
no reason to break that.

3ff2a1f0c9 Fix assertion failure during decoding from synced slots.
The slot synchronization skips updating the confirmed_flush LSN of the
local slot if the local slot has a newer catalog_xmin or restart_lsn, but
still allows updating the two_phase and two_phase_at fields of the slot.
This opens up a window for the prepared transactions between old
confirmed_flush LSN and two_phase_at to unexpectedly get decoded and sent
to the downstream after promotion. Then, while decoding the commit
prepared the assert will fail, which expects that the prepare hasn't been
sent to the downstream.

The fix is to skip updating the other slot fields when we are skipping to
update the confirmed_flush LSN of the slot.

We didn't backpatch this commit as two_phase_at was not synced in back
branches, which means prepared transactions won't be unexpectedly sent to
downstream.

We discovered this problem while analyzing BF failure reported in the
discussion link.

Reliably reproducing this issue without a debugger is difficult. Given
its rarity, adding specific injection point to test it doesn't seem
worthwhile, so we won't be adding a dedicated test case.

b75fedcab7 Make NULL tuple values always advance skip arrays.
_bt_check_compare neglected to handle a case that can arise when the
scan's keys are temporarily treated as nonrequired, as an optimization:
whenever a NULL tuple value was encountered that had a skip array whose
current element wasn't already NULL, _bt_check_compare failed to advance
the array to the NULL element.  This allowed _bt_check_compare to fail
to return matching tuples containing a NULL value (though only with an
array column that came before a skip array column with NULLs, and only
during _bt_readpage calls that set pstate.forcenonrequired=true on a
page where the higher-order column also had to advance).

To fix, teach _bt_check_compare to handle this case just like any other
case where a skip array key is unsatisfied and must be advanced directly
(due to the key being considered a nonrequired key).

Oversight in commit 8a510275, which optimized nbtree search scan key
comparisons with skip arrays.

aaf9e95e87 Fix xmin advancement during fast_forward decoding.
During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in
fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by
vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing
the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an
incorrect value.

Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's
catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward
mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing
the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the
xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for
not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as
running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen
during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in
that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss
seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts.

This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to
prevent the early advancement of xmin.

fc069a3a63 implements Self-Join Elimination (SJE), which can remove base
relations when appropriate.  However, regressions tests for SJE only cover
the case when placeholder variables (PHVs) are evaluated and needed only
in a single base rel.  If this baserel is removed due to SJE, its clauses,
including PHVs, will be transferred to the keeping relation.  Removing these
PHVs may trigger an error on plan creation -- thanks to the b3ff6c742f for
detecting that.

This commit skips removal of PHVs during SJE.  This might also happen that
we skip the removal of some PHVs that could be removed.  However, the overhead
of extra PHVs is small compared to the complexity of analysis needed to remove
them.

94b84a6072 Don't use double-quotes in #include's of system headers, redux.
This cleans up some loose ends left by commit e8ca9ed1d.  I hadn't
looked closely enough at these places before, but now I have.

The use of double-quoted #includes for Perl headers in plperl_system.h
seems to be simply a mistake introduced in 6c944bf3c and faithfully
copied forward since then.  (I had thought possibly it was required
by some weird Windows build setup, but there's no evidence of that in
our history.)

The occurrences in SectionMemoryManager.h and SectionMemoryManager.cpp
evidently stem from those files' origin as LLVM code.  It's
understandable that LLVM would treat their own files as needing
double-quoted #includes; but they're still system headers to us.

I also applied the same check to *.c files, and found a few other
random incorrect usages in both directions.

Our ECPG headers and test files routinely use angle brackets to refer
to ECPG headers.  I left those usages alone, since it seems reasonable
for an ECPG user to regard those headers as system headers.

configuration of the number of fast-path locking slots via the

to use for the lock.

The divisor in this case is always a power-of-two value.  Here we swap
out the divide by a bitwise-AND, which is a significantly faster
operation to perform.

In passing, adjust the code that's setting FastPathLockGroupsPerBackend
so that it's more clear that the value being set is a power-of-two.

Also, adjust some comments in the area which contained some magic
numbers.  It seems better to justify the 1024 upper limit in the

500b61769f Fix bug allowing io_combine_limit > io_max_combine_combine limit
10f6646847 intended to limit the value of io_combine_limit to the minimum of
io_combine_limit and io_max_combine_limit. To avoid issues with interdependent
GUCs, it introduced io_combine_limit_guc and set io_combine_limit in assign
hooks. That plan was thwarted by guc_tables.c accidentally still referencing
io_combine_limit, instead of io_combine_limit_guc.  That lead to the GUC
machinery overriding the work done in the assign hooks, potentially leaving
io_combine_limit with a too high value.

The consequence of this bug was that when running with io_combine_limit >
io_combine_limit_guc the AIO machinery would not have reserved large enough
iovec and IO data arrays, with one IO's arrays overlapping with another IO's,
leading to total confusion.

To make such a problem easier to detect in the future, add assertions to
pgaio_io_set_handle_data_* checking the length is smaller than
io_max_combine_limit (not just PG_IOV_MAX).

It'd be nice to have a few tests for this, but it's not entirely obvious how
to do so portably.

As remarked upon by Tom, the GUC assignment hooks really shouldn't set the
underlying variable, that's the job of the GUC machinery. Change that as well.

Also add an assertion to pgaio_io_get_target_description() for the target to

923ae50cf5 Add sanity check for dshash entries when reading pgstats file
Not having this check would produce a core dump at startup when running
pgstat_read_statsfile(), in the case where the information of a stats
kind for an entry in the dshash could not be found.  The same check
already happens for fixed-numbered stats and entries that are stored
with their names.  This issue can be seen with custom stats kinds.

Note that this problem can be reproduced what what is in the core code:
- Tweak the test module injection_points to not load the fixed-numbered
stats part, leaving only the variable-numbered stats.
- Create an instance with injection_points defined in
shared_preload_libraries.
- Create a pgstats entry by attaching and running a point.
- Restart the server without shared_preload_libraries.  The startup
process detects that something is wrong and reports a WARNING.

bc19f63f80 Avoid possibly-theoretical OOM crash hazard in hash_create().
One place in hash_create() used DynaHashAlloc() as a convenient
shorthand for MemoryContextAlloc().  That was fine when it was
written, but it stopped being fine when 9c911ec06 changed
DynaHashAlloc() to use MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM (mea culpa).  Change
the code to call plain MemoryContextAlloc() as intended.

I think that this bug may be unreachable in practice, since we now
always create AllocSets with some space already allocated, so that
an OOM failure here for a non-shared hash table should be impossible
(with a hash table name of reasonable length anyway).  And there
aren't enough shared hash tables to make a crash for one of those
probable.  Nonetheless it's clearly not operating as designed, so
back-patch to v16 where 9c911ec06 came in.

9f404d7922 Properly prepare varinfos in estimate_multivariate_bucketsize()
To estimate with extended statistics, we need to clear the varnullingrels
field in the expression, and duplicates are not allowed in the GroupVarInfo
list.  We might re-use add_unique_group_var(), but we don't do so for two
reasons.

  1) We must keep the origin_rinfos list ordered exactly the same way as
     varinfos.
  2) add_unique_group_var() is designed for estimate_num_groups(), where a
     larger number of groups is worse.   While estimating the number of hash
     buckets, we have the opposite: a lesser number of groups is worse.
     Therefore, we don't have to remove "known equal" vars: the removed var
     may valuably contribute to the multivariate statistics to grow the number
     of groups.

This commit adds custom code to estimate_multivariate_bucketsize() to
initialize varinfos properly.

3db61db48e Change the names generated for child foreign key constraints.
When a foreign key constraint is placed on a partitioned table, we
actually make two pg_constraint entries associated with that table.
(I have my doubts about the wisdom of that, but it's been like that
since v12 and post-feature-freeze is no time to be messing with such
entrenched decisions.)  The second "child" entry always had a name
generated according to the default rule, "table_column(s)_fkey[nnn]",
even if the primary entry had an unrelated user-specified name.  The
trouble with doing that is that the default name could collide with
the user-specified name of some other constraint on the same table.
While we were willing to adjust the generated name to avoid
collisions, that only helps if it's made second; if it's made first
then creation of the other constraint would fail, potentially causing
dump/reload or pg_upgrade failures.

The core of the problem here is that we're infringing on user
namespace, so I doubt that there's any 100% solution other than to
find a way to not need the "child" entry.  In the meantime, it seems
like it'd be an improvement to make the child's name be the name of
the parent constraint with an underscore and digit(s) appended as
necessary to make it unique.  This rule can in theory fail in the same
way, but it seems much less probable; for one thing, this rule is
guaranteed not to match primary entries having auto-generated names.
(While an auto-generated primary name isn't user-specified to begin
with, it acts like that during dump/reload, so collisions against such
names are definitely possible.)

An additional bonus, visible in some of the regression test cases
that change here, arises from the fact that some error messages
cite the child constraint's name not the parent's.  In the
previous approach the two names could be completely unrelated,
leading to user confusion --- the more so since psql's \d command
hides child constraints.  With this approach it's hopefully much
clearer which constraint-the-user-knows-about is failing.

However, that does mean that there's user-visible behavior change
occurring here, making it seem like not something to back-patch.
I feel it's not too late for v18, though.

1f7878c33c Remove assertion based on pending_since in pgstat_report_stat()
This assertion, based on pending_since (timestamp used to prevent stats
reports to be too frequent or should a partial flush happen), is reached
when it is found that no data can be flushed but a previous call of
pgstat_report_stat() determined that some stats data has been found as
in need of a flush.  So pending_since is set when some stats data is
pending (in non-force mode) or if report attempts are too frequent, and
reset to 0 once all stats have been flushed.

Since 5cbbe70a9c, WAL senders have begun to report their stats on a
periodic basis for IO stats in v16~ and backend stats on HEAD, creating
some friction with the concurrent pgstat_report_stat() calls that can
happen in the context of a WAL sender (shutdown callback doing a final
report or backend-related code paths).  This problem is the cause of
spurious failures in the TAP tests.

In theory, this assertion can be also reached in v15, even if that's
very unlikely.  For example, a process, say a background worker, could
do periodic and direct stats flushes with concurrent calls of
pgstat_report_stat() that could cause conflicting values of
pending_since.  This can be done with WAL or SLRU stats flushes using
pgstat_flush_wal() or pgstat_slru_flush().  HEAD makes this situation
easier to happen with custom cumulative stats.

This commit removes the assertion altogether, per discussion, as it is
more useful to keep the state of things as they are for the WAL sender.
The assertion could use a special state based on for example
am_walsender, but I doubt that this would be meaningful in the long run
based on the other arguments raised while discussing this issue.

80b727eb9d Use the same cmd_context throughout a walsender's lifetime.
exec_replication_command created a cmd_context to work in and
then deleted it on exit.  This is pretty dangerous because
some replication commands start/finish transactions.  In the
wake of commit 1afe31f03, that could lead to re-selecting a
CurrentMemoryContext that's already been deleted, leading to
hilarity such as a memory context that is its own parent.

To fix, let's make the cmd_context persist across
exec_replication_command calls; instead of deleting it, we'll just
reset it each time.  In this way it retains the same identity and
there's no problem if transaction abort restores it as the working
context.  It probably even saves a few microseconds to do this.

This fix also ensures that exec_replication_command returns to the
caller (PostgresMain) with the same context active that had been
when it was called (probably MessageContext).  The previous
coding could get that wrong too.

d47f922246 Fix issue with ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates and FILTER
1349d2790 added support so that aggregate functions with an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause could make use of presorted inputs to avoid an implicit
sort within nodeAgg.c.  That commit failed to consider that a FILTER
clause may exist that filters rows before the aggregate function
arguments are evaluated.  That can be problematic if an aggregate
argument contains an expression which could error out during evaluation.
It's perfectly valid to want to have a FILTER clause which eliminates
such values, and with the pre-sorted path added in 1349d2790, it was
possible that the planner would produce a plan with a Sort node above
the Aggregate to perform the sort on the aggregate's arguments long before
the Aggregate node would filter out the non-matching values.

Here we fix this by inspecting ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions
which have a FILTER clause to see if the aggregate's arguments are
anything more complex than a Var or a Const.  Evaluating these isn't
going to cause an error.  If we find any non-Var, non-Const parameters
then the planner will now opt to perform the sort in the Aggregate node
for these aggregates, i.e. disable the presorted aggregate optimization.

An alternative fix would have been to completely disallow the presorted
optimization for Aggrefs with any FILTER clause, but that wasn't done as
that could cause large performance regressions for queries that see
significant gains from 1349d2790 due to presorted results coming in from
an Index Scan.

This gets rid of repetitive get_typlen calls in postquel_sub_params,
which show up as costing a few percent of the runtime in simple test
cases (more with more parameters).

In combination with the preceding patches, this gets us most of the
way back down to the amount of per-call overhead that functions.c
had before commit 0dca5d68d.  There are some more things that could
be done, but this seems like an okay place to stop for v18.

0313c5dc62 Make SQLFunctionCache long-lived again.
At this point, the only data structures we allocate directly in
fcontext are the SQLFunctionCache struct itself, the ParamListInfo
struct, and the execution_state array, all of which are small and
perfectly capable of being re-used across executions of the same
FmgrInfo.  Hence, let's give them the same lifespan as the FmgrInfo.
This step gets rid of the separate SQLFunctionLink struct and makes
fn_extra point to SQLFunctionCache again.  We also get rid of the
separate fcontext memory context and allocate these items directly
in fn_mcxt.

For notational simplicity, SQLFunctionCache still has an fcontext
field, but it's just a copy of fn_mcxt.

The motivation for this is to allow these structures to live as
long as the FmgrInfo and be re-used across calls, restoring the
original design without its propensity for memory leaks.  This
gets rid of some per-call overhead that we added in 0dca5d68d.

We also make an effort to re-use the JunkFilter and result slot.
Those might need to change if the function definition changes,
so we compromise by rebuilding them if the cached plan changes.

This also moves the tuplestore into fn_mcxt so that it can be
re-used across calls, again undoing a change made in 0dca5d68d.

f45a5444ee Split some storage out to separate subcontexts of fcontext.
Put the JunkFilter and its result slot (and thence also
some subsidiary data such as the result tupledesc) into a
separate subcontext "jfcontext".  This doesn't accomplish
a lot at this point, because we make a new JunkFilter each
time through the SQL function.  However, the plan is to make
the fcontext long-lived, and that raises the possibility
that we'll need a new JunkFilter because the plan for the
result-generating query changes.  A separate context makes
it easy to free the obsoleted data when that happens.

Also, instead of always running the sub-executor in fcontext,
make a separate context for it if we're doing lazy eval of
a SRF, and otherwise just run it inside CurrentMemoryContext.

595d1efeda Make functions.c mostly run in a short-lived memory context.
Previously, much of this code ran with CurrentMemoryContext set
to be the function's fcontext, so that we tended to leak a lot of
stuff there.  Commit 0dca5d68d dealt with that by releasing the
fcontext at the completion of each SQL function call, but we'd
like to go back to the previous approach of allowing the fcontext
to be query-lifespan.  To control the leakage problem, rearrange
the code so that we mostly run in the memory context that fmgr_sql
is called in (which we expect to be short-lived).  Notably, this
means that parsing/planning is all done in the short-lived context
and doesn't leak cruft into fcontext.

This patch also fixes the allocation of execution_state records
so that we don't leak them across executions.  I set that up
with a re-usable array that contains at least as many
execution_state structs as we need for the current querytree.
The chain structure is still there, but it's not really doing
much for us, and maybe somebody will be motivated to get rid
of it.  I'm not though.

This incidentally also moves the call of BlessTupleDesc to be
with the code that creates the JunkFilter.  That doesn't make
much difference now, but a later patch will reduce the number
of times the JunkFilter gets made, and we needn't bless the
results any more often than that.

We still leak a fair amount in fcontext, particularly when
executing utility statements, but that's material for a
separate patch step; the point here is only to get rid of
unintentional allocations in fcontext.

number of cycles, and it's really quite unnecessary because the
JunkFilter will not examine that tlist after it's been created.
(ExecFindJunkAttribute would use it, but we don't use that function
on this JunkFilter.)  Hence, remove the copy step.  For safety,
reset the might-become-dangling jf_targetList pointer to NIL.

In passing, remove DR_sqlfunction.cxt, which we don't use anymore;
it's confusing because it's not entirely clear which context it
ought to point at.

f4ece891fc Assert lack of hazardous buffer locks before possible catalog read.
Commit 0bada39c83 fixed a bug of this kind,
which existed in all branches for six days before detection.  While the
probability of reaching the trouble was low, the disruption was extreme.  No
new backends could start, and service restoration needed an immediate
shutdown.  Hence, add this to catch the next bug like it.

The new check in RelationIdGetRelation() suffices to make autovacuum detect
the bug in commit 243e9b40f1 that led to commit
0bada39.  This also checks in a number of similar places.  It replaces each
Assert(IsTransactionState()) that pertained to a conditional catalog read.

No back-patch for now, but a back-patch of commit 243e9b4 should back-patch
this, too.  A back-patch could omit the src/test/regress changes, since back
branches won't gain new index columns.

f3281f9f93 Improve comments for estimate_multivariate_ndistinct()
estimate_multivariate_ndistinct() is coded to assume the caller handles
passing it a list of GroupVarInfos with unique 'var' fields over the
entire list.  6bb6a62f3 added code which didn't ensure this and that
could result in estimate_multivariate_ndistinct() erroring out with:

ERROR:  corrupt MVNDistinct entry

This occurred because estimate_multivariate_ndistinct() first searches
for a set of stats that match to at least two of the given GroupVarInfos
and then later assumes that the MVNDistinctItem.items array of the
best matching stats will have an entry for those two columns.  If the
GroupVarInfos List contained a duplicate entry then the same column could
be matched to twice and that could trick the code into thinking we have
>= 2 columns matched in cases where only a single distinct column has been
matched.  This could result in a failure to find the correct
MVNDistinctItem in the stats as the array containing those never
contains an item for single columns.

Here we make it more clear that the function needs a distinct set of
GroupVarInfos and also tidy up a few other comments to make things a bit
easier to follow.

Elide not-null constraint checks on child tables during PK creation
We were unnecessarily acquiring AccessExclusiveLock on all child tables
when "ALTER TABLE ONLY sometab ADD PRIMARY KEY" was run on their parent
table, an oversight in commit 14e87ffa5c.  This caused deadlocks
during pg_restore of partitioned tables.

The reason to acquire the AEL was that we need to verify that child
tables have the involved columns already marked as not-null; but if the
parent table has an inheritable not-null constraint, then all children
must necessarily be in the correct state already, so we can skip the
check, which avoids acquiring the lock.  Reorder the code so that it
works that way.  This doesn't change things in the case where the
constraint doesn't exist, but that case is of lesser importance because
it doesn't occur during parallel pg_restore.

While at it, reword some errmsg() and add errhint() to similar cases in
related but not adjacent code.

3b35f9a4c5 Fix an incorrect check in get_memoize_path
Memoize typically marks cache entries as complete after fully scanning
the inner side of a join.  However, in the case of unique joins, we
skip to the next outer tuple as soon as the first matching inner tuple
is found, leaving no opportunity to scan the inner side to completion.
To work around that, we mark cache entries as complete after fetching
the first matching inner tuple in unique joins.

This approach is only safe when all of the join's restriction clauses
are parameterized; otherwise, there is no guarantee that reading just
one tuple from the inner side is sufficient.

Currently, we check for this by verifying that the number of clauses
in ppi_clauses is no less than the number of the join's restriction
clauses.  However, this check isn't entirely reliable, as ppi_clauses
includes join clauses available from all outer rels, not just the
current outer rel.  This means the check could pass even if a
restriction clause isn't parameterized, as long as another join
clause, which doesn't belong to the current join, is included in
ppi_clauses.

To fix this, we explicitly check whether each restriction clause of
the current join is present in ppi_clauses.

While we're here, remove the XXX comment from the modified code, as
it's not justified; in certain cases, it's not possible to move a join
clause to the inner side.

This is arguably a bugfix, but no backpatch given the lack of field
reports.

7c87284940 Fix failure for generated column with a not-null domain constraint.
If a GENERATED column is declared to have a domain data type where
the domain's constraints disallow null values, INSERT commands failed
because we built a targetlist that included coercing a null constant
to the domain's type.  The failure occurred even when the generated
value would have been perfectly OK.  This is adjacent to the issues
fixed in 0da39aa76, but we didn't notice for lack of testing a domain
with such a constraint.

We aren't going to use the result of the targetlist entry for the
generated column --- ExecComputeStoredGenerated will overwrite it.
So it's not really necessary that it have the exact datatype of
the generated column.  This patch fixes the problem by changing
the targetlist entry to be a null Const of the domain's base type,
which should be sufficiently legal.  (We do have to tweak
ExecCheckPlanOutput to accept the situation, though.)

This has been broken since we implemented generated columns.
However, this patch only applies easily as far back as v14, partly
because I (tgl) only carried 0da39aa76 back that far, but mostly
because v14 significantly refactored the handling of INSERT/UPDATE
targetlists.  Given the lack of field complaints and the short
remaining support lifetime of v13, I judge the cost-benefit ratio
not good for devising a version that would work in v13.

e708ffe79d Fix GIN's shimTriConsistentFn to not corrupt its input.
Commit 0f21db36d made an assumption that GIN triConsistentFns
would not modify their input entryRes[] arrays.  But in fact,
the "shim" triConsistentFn that we use for opclasses that don't
supply their own did exactly that, potentially leading to wrong
answers from a GIN index search.  Through bad luck, none of the
test cases that we have for such opclasses exposed the bug.

One response to this could be that the assumption of consistency check
functions not modifying entryRes[] arrays is a bad one, but it still
seems reasonable to me.  Notably, shimTriConsistentFn is itself
assuming that with respect to the underlying boolean consistentFn,
so it's sure being self-centered in supposing that it gets to do so.

Fortunately, it's quite simple to fix shimTriConsistentFn to restore
the entry-time state of entryRes[], so let's do that instead.

This issue doesn't affect any core GIN opclasses, since they all
supply their own triConsistentFns.  It does affect contrib modules
btree_gin, hstore, and intarray.

Along the way, I (tgl) noticed that shimTriConsistentFn failed to
pick up on a "recheck" flag returned by its first call to the boolean
consistentFn.  This may be only a latent problem, since it would be
unlikely for a consistentFn to set recheck for the all-false case
and not any other cases.  (Indeed, none of our contrib modules do
that.)  Nonetheless, it's formally wrong.

2e57790836 Fix race with synchronous_standby_names at startup
synchronous_standby_names cannot be reloaded safely by backends, and the
checkpointer is in charge of updating a state in shared memory if the
GUC is enabled in WalSndCtl, to let the backends know if they should
wait or not for a given LSN.  This provides a strict control on the
timing of the waiting queues if the GUC is enabled or disabled, then
reloaded.  The checkpointer is also in charge of waking up the backends
that could be waiting for a LSN when the GUC is disabled.

This logic had a race condition at startup, where it would be possible
for backends to not wait for a LSN even if synchronous_standby_names is
enabled.  This would cause visibility issues with transactions that we
should be waiting for but they were not.  The problem lasts until the
checkpointer does its initial update of the shared memory state when it
loads synchronous_standby_names.

In order to take care of this problem, the shared memory state in
WalSndCtl is extended to detect if it has been initialized by the
checkpointer, and not only check if synchronous_standby_names is
defined.  In WalSndCtlData, sync_standbys_defined is renamed to
sync_standbys_status, a bits8 able to know about two states:
- If the shared memory state has been initialized.  This flag is set by
the checkpointer at startup once, and never removed.
- If synchronous_standby_names is known as defined in the shared memory
state.  This is the same as the previous sync_standbys_defined in
WalSndCtl.

This method gives a way for backends to decide what they should do until
the shared memory area is initialized, and they now ultimately fall back
to a check on the GUC value in this case, which is the best thing that
can be done.

Fortunately, SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined() is called immediately by
the checkpointer when this process starts, so the window is very narrow.
It is possible to enlarge the problematic window by making the
checkpointer wait at the beginning of SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined()
with a hardcoded sleep for example, and doing so has showed that a 2PC
visibility test is indeed failing.  On machines slow enough, this bug
would cause spurious failures.

In 17~, we have looked at the possibility of adding an injection point
to have a reproducible test, but as the problematic window happens at
early startup, we would need to invent a way to make an injection point
optionally persistent across restarts when attached, something that
would be fine for this case as it would involve the checkpointer.  This
issue is quite old, and can be reproduced on all the stable branches.

4909b38af0 Fix data loss in logical replication.
Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ...
or ALTER TYPE ...  that don't take a strong lock on table happens
concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens
because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent
transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the
changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache
even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the
changes required to be sent to the client.

This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from
catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions.
This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new
changes after concurrent DDL.

We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of
*publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The
regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the
published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to
resolve a longstanding data loss issue.

An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each
affected table during publication modification. However, this would only
address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...)
and require locking every relation in the database for publications
created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical.

The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14.
The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix
for that branch is still under discussion.

The problem was introduced in commit 9ff68679b5, which removed the

relying on the redundant ExecOpenIndices call in
apply_handle_tuple_routing() to build the index information required for
unique key conflict detection.

The fix is to delay building the index information until a conflict is
detected instead of relying on ExecOpenIndices to do the same. The
additional benefit of this approach is that it avoids building index
information when there is no conflict.

When calling the function it sends a signal to the specified

Each process is limited to use at most 1Mb memory for this.

A summary can also be explicitly requested by the user, this

15f0cb26b5 Increase BAS_BULKREAD based on effective_io_concurrency
Before, BAS_BULKREAD was always of size 256kB. With the default
io_combine_limit of 16, that only allowed 1-2 IOs to be in flight -
insufficient even on very low latency storage.

We don't just want to increase the size to a much larger hardcoded value, as
very large rings (10s of MBs of of buffers), appear to have negative
performance effects when reading in data that the OS has cached (but not when
actually needing to do IO).

To address this, increase the size of BAS_BULKREAD to allow for
io_combine_limit * effective_io_concurrency buffers getting read in. To
prevent the ring being much larger than useful, limit the increased size with
GetPinLimit().

The formula outlined above keeps the ring size to sizes for which we have not
observed performance regressions, unless very large effective_io_concurrency
values are used together with large shared_buffers setting.

dcf7e1697b Add pg_buffercache_evict_{relation,all} functions
In addition to the added functions, the pg_buffercache_evict() function now
shows whether the buffer was flushed.

pg_buffercache_evict_relation(): Evicts all shared buffers in a
relation at once.
pg_buffercache_evict_all(): Evicts all shared buffers at once.

Both functions provide mechanism to evict multiple shared buffers at
once. They are designed to address the inefficiency of repeatedly calling
pg_buffercache_evict() for each individual buffer, which can be time-consuming
when dealing with large shared buffer pools. (e.g., ~477ms vs. ~2576ms for
16GB of fully populated shared buffers).

These functions are intended for developer testing and debugging
purposes and are available to superusers only.

Minimal tests for the new functions are included. Also, there was no test for
pg_buffercache_evict(), test for this added too.

No new extension version is needed, as it was already increased this release
by ba2a3c2302.

d69d45a5a9 Speedup child EquivalenceMember lookup in planner
When planning queries to partitioned tables, we clone all
EquivalenceMembers belonging to the partitioned table into em_is_child
EquivalenceMembers for each non-pruned partition.  For partitioned tables
with large numbers of partitions, this meant the ec_members list could
become large and code searching that list would become slow.  Effectively,
the more partitions which were present, the more searches needed to be
performed for operations such as find_ec_member_matching_expr() during
create_plan() and the more partitions present, the longer these searches
would take, i.e., a quadratic slowdown.

To fix this, here we adjust how we store EquivalenceMembers for
em_is_child members.  Instead of storing these directly in ec_members,
these are now stored in a new array of Lists in the EquivalenceClass,
which is indexed by the relid.  When we want to find EquivalenceMembers
belonging to a certain child relation, we can narrow the search to the
array element for that relation.

To make EquivalenceMember lookup easier and to reduce the amount of code
change, this commit provides a pair of functions to allow iteration over
the EquivalenceMembers of an EC which also handles finding the child
members, if required.  Callers that never need to look at child members
can remain using the foreach loop over ec_members, which will now often
be faster due to only parent-level members being stored there.

The actual performance increases here are highly dependent on the number
of partitions and the query being planned.  Performance increases can be
visible with as few as 8 partitions, but the speedup is marginal for
such low numbers of partitions.  The speedups become much more visible
with a few dozen to hundreds of partitions.  With some tested queries
using 56 partitions, the planner was around 3x faster than before.  For
use cases with thousands of partitions, these are likely to become
significantly faster.  Some testing has shown planner speedups of 60x or
more with 8192 partitions.

105b2cb336 Stabilize 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl.
Some tests try to invalidate logical slots on the standby server by
running VACUUM on the primary. The problem is that xl_running_xacts was
getting generated and replayed before the VACUUM command, leading to the
advancement of the active slot's catalog_xmin. Due to this, active slots
were not getting invalidated, leading to test failures.

We fix it by skipping the generation of xl_running_xacts for the required
tests with the help of injection points. As the required interface for
injection points was not present in back branches, we fixed the failing
tests in them by disallowing the slot to become active for the required
cases (where rows_removed conflict could be generated).

039549d70f Flush the IO statistics of active WAL senders more frequently
WAL senders do not flush their statistics until they exit, limiting the
monitoring possible for live processes.  This is penalizing when WAL
senders are running for a long time, like in streaming or logical
replication setups, because it is not possible to know the amount of IO
they generate while running.

This commit makes WAL senders more aggressive with their statistics
flush, using an internal of 1 second, with the flush timing calculated
based on the existing GetCurrentTimestamp() done before the sleeps done
to wait for some activity.  Note that the sleep done for logical and
physical WAL senders happens in two different code paths, so the stats
flushes need to happen in these two places.

One test is added for the physical WAL sender case, and one for the
logical WAL sender case.  This can be done in a stable fashion by
relying on the WAL generated by the TAP tests in combination with a
stats reset while a server is running, but only on HEAD as WAL data has
been added to pg_stat_io in a051e71e28.

This issue exists since a9c70b46db and the introduction of pg_stat_io,
so backpatch down to v16.

8cc139bec3 Introduce pg_shmem_allocations_numa view
Introduce new pg_shmem_alloctions_numa view with information about how
shared memory is distributed across NUMA nodes. For each shared memory
segment, the view returns one row for each NUMA node backing it, with
the total amount of memory allocated from that node.

The view may be relatively expensive, especially when executed for the
first time in a backend, as it has to touch all memory pages to get
reliable information about the NUMA node. This may also force allocation
of the shared memory.

Unlike pg_shmem_allocations, the view does not show anonymous shared
memory allocations. It also does not show memory allocated using the
dynamic shared memory infrastructure.

8e293e689b aio: Make AIO more compatible with valgrind
In some edge cases valgrind flags issues with the memory referenced by
IOs. All of the cases addressed in this change are false positives.

Most of the false positives are caused by UnpinBuffer[NoOwner] marking buffer
data as inaccessible. This happens even though the AIO subsystem still holds a
pin. That's good, there shouldn't be accesses to the buffer outside of AIO
related code until it is pinned by "user" code again. But it requires some
explicit work - if the buffer is not pinned by the current backend, we need to
explicitly mark the buffer data accessible/inaccessible while executing
completion callbacks.

That however causes a cascading issue in IO workers: After the completion
callbacks for a buffer is executed, the page is marked as inaccessible. If
subsequently the same worker is executing IO targeting the same buffer, we
would get an error, as the memory is still marked inaccessible. To avoid that,
we need to explicitly mark the memory as accessible in IO workers.

Another issue is that IO executed in workers or via io_uring will not mark
memory as DEFINED. In the case of workers that is because valgrind does not
track memory definedness across processes. For io_uring that is because
valgrind does not understand io_uring, and therefore its IOs never mark memory
as defined, whether the completions are processed in the defining process or
in another context.  It's not entirely clear how to best solve that. The
current user of AIO is not affected, as it explicitly marks buffers as DEFINED
& NOACCESS anyway.  Defer solving this issue until we have a user with
different needs.

Per buildfarm animal skink.

b73e6d71a8 Fix erroneous construction of functions' dependencies on transforms.
The list of transform objects that a function should use is specified
in CREATE FUNCTION's TRANSFORM clause, and then represented indirectly
in pg_proc.protrftypes.  However, ProcedureCreate completely ignored
that for purposes of constructing pg_depend entries, and instead made
the function depend on any transforms that exist for its parameter or
return data types.  This is bad in both directions: the function could
be made dependent on a transform it does not actually use, or it
could try to use a transform that's since been dropped.  (The latter
scenario would require use of a transform that's not for any of the
parameter or return types, but that seems legit for cases where the
function performs SQL operations internally.)

To fix, pass in the list of transform objects that CreateFunction
identified, and build pg_depend entries from that not from the
parameter/return types.  This results in changes in the expected
test outputs in contrib/bool_plperl, which I guess are due to
different ordering of pg_depend entries -- that test case is
surely not exercising either of the problem scenarios.

This fix is not back-patchable as-is: changing the signature of
ProcedureCreate seems too risky in stable branches.  We could
do something like making ProcedureCreate a wrapper around
ProcedureCreateExt or so.  However, I'm more inclined to do
nothing in the back branches.  We had no field complaints up to
now, so the hazards don't seem to be a big issue in practice.
And we couldn't do anything about existing pg_depend entries,
so a back-patched fix would result in a mishmash of dependencies
created according to different rules.  That cure could be worse
than the disease, perhaps.

I bumped catversion just to lay down a marker that the expected
contents of pg_depend are a bit different than before.

Allow NOT NULL constraints to be added as NOT VALID
This allows them to be added without scanning the table, and validating
them afterwards without holding access exclusive lock on the table after
any violating rows have been deleted or fixed.

Doing ALTER TABLE ... SET NOT NULL for a column that has an invalid
not-null constraint validates that constraint.  ALTER TABLE .. VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT is also supported.  There are various checks on whether an
invalid constraint is allowed in a child table when the parent table has
a valid constraint; this should match what we do for enforced/not
enforced constraints.

pg_attribute.attnotnull is now only an indicator for whether a not-null
constraint exists for the column; whether it's valid or invalid must be
queried in pg_constraint.  Applications can continue to query
pg_attribute.attnotnull as before, but now it's possible that NULL rows
are present in the column even when that's set to true.

For backend internal purposes, we cache the nullability status in
CompactAttribute->attnullability that each tuple descriptor carries
(replacing CompactAttribute.attnotnull, which was a mirror of
Form_pg_attribute.attnotnull).  During the initial tuple descriptor
creation, based on the pg_attribute scan, we set this to UNRESTRICTED if
pg_attribute.attnotnull is false, or to UNKNOWN if it's true; then we
update the latter to VALID or INVALID depending on the pg_constraint
scan.  This flag is also copied when tupledescs are copied.

Comparing tuple descs for equality must also compare the
CompactAttribute.attnullability flag and return false in case of a
mismatch.

pg_dump deals with these constraints by storing the OIDs of invalid
not-null constraints in a separate array, and running a query to obtain
their properties.  The regular table creation SQL omits them entirely.
They are then dealt with in the same way as "separate" CHECK
constraints, and dumped after the data has been loaded.  Because no
additional pg_dump infrastructure was required, we don't bump its
version number.

I decided not to bump catversion either, because the old catalog state
works perfectly in the new world.  (Trying to run with new catalog state
and the old server version would likely run into issues, however.)

System catalogs do not support invalid not-null constraints (because
commit 14e87ffa5c didn't allow them to have pg_constraint rows
anyway.)

8ce79483dc read_stream: Fix overflow hazard with large shared buffers
If the limit returned by GetAdditionalPinLimit() is large, the buffer_limit
variable in read_stream_start_pending_read() can overflow. While the code is
careful to limit buffer_limit PG_INT16_MAX, we subsequently add the number of
forwarded buffers.

The overflow can lead to assertion failures, crashes or wrong query results
when using large shared buffers.

It seems easier to avoid this if we make the buffer_limit variable an int,
instead of an int16.  Do so, and clamp buffer_limit after adding the number of
forwarded buffers.

It's possible we might want to address this and related issues more widely by
changing to int instead of int16 more widely, but since the consequences of
this bug can be confusing, it seems better to fix it now.

This bug was introduced in ed0b87caac.

strategy numbers now.

To avoid performance regressions, some details on btree and other

types now have access to the same features by providing the required

691836405f Fix parse_cte.c's failure to examine sub-WITHs in DML statements.
makeDependencyGraphWalker thought that only SelectStmt nodes could
contain a WithClause.  Which was true in our original implementation
of WITH, but astonishingly we missed updating this code when we added
the ability to attach WITH to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (and later MERGE).
Moreover, since it was coded to deliberately block recursion to a
WithClause, even updating raw_expression_tree_walker didn't save it.

The upshot of this was that we didn't see references to outer CTE
names appearing within an inner WITH, and would neither complain about
disallowed recursion nor account for such references when sorting CTEs
into a usable order.  The lack of complaints about this is perhaps not
so surprising, because typical usage of WITH wouldn't hit either case.
Still, it's pretty broken; failing to detect recursion here leads to
assert failures or worse later on.

Fix by factoring out the processing of sub-WITHs into a new function
WalkInnerWith, and invoking that for all the statement types that
can have WITH.

e33f2335a9 Avoid double transformation of json_array()'s subquery.
transformJsonArrayQueryConstructor() applied transformStmt() to
the same subquery tree twice.  While this causes no issue in many
cases, there are some where it causes a coredump, thanks to the
parser's habit of scribbling on its input.

Fix by making a copy before the first transformation (compare
0f43083d1).  This is quite brute-force, but then so is the
whole business of transforming the input twice.  Per discussion
in the bug thread, this implementation of json_array() parsing
should be replaced completely.  But that will take some work
and will surely not be back-patchable, so for the moment let's
take the easy way out.

43b8e6c4ab Repair misbehavior with duplicate entries in FK SET column lists.
Since v15 we've had an option to apply a foreign key constraint's
ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or SET NULL action to just some of the
referencing columns.  There was not a check for duplicate entries in
the list of columns-to-set, though.  That caused a potential memory
stomp in CreateConstraintEntry(), which incautiously assumed that
the list of columns-to-set couldn't be longer than the number of key
columns.  Even after fixing that, the case doesn't work because you
get an error like "multiple assignments to same column" from the SQL
command that is generated to do the update.

We could either raise an error for duplicate columns or silently
suppress the dups, and after a bit of thought I chose to do the
latter.  This is motivated by the fact that duplicates in the FK
column list are legal, so it's not real clear why duplicates
in the columns-to-set list shouldn't be.  Of course there's no
need to actually set the column more than once.

I left in the fix in CreateConstraintEntry() too, just because
it didn't seem like such low-level code ought to be making
assumptions about what it's handed.

0f43083d16 functions.c: copy trees from source_list before parse analysis etc.
This is yet another bit of fallout from the fact that backend/parser
(like other code) feels free to scribble on the parse tree it's
handed.  In this case that resulted in modifying the
relatively-short-lived copy in the cached function's source_list.
That would be fine since we only need each source_list tree once
... except that if the parser fails after making some changes,
the function cache entry remains as-is and will still be there
if the user tries to execute the function again.  Then we have
problems because we're feeding a non-pristine tree to the parser.

The most expedient fix is a quick copyObject().  I considered
other answers like somehow marking the cache entry invalid
temporarily, but that would add complexity and I'm not sure
it's worth it.  In typical scenarios we'd only do this once
per function query per session.

b3f1a13f22 Avoid extra index searches through preprocessing.
Transform low_compare and high_compare nbtree skip array inequalities
(with opclasses that offer skip support) in such a way as to allow
_bt_first to consistently apply later keys when it descends the tree.
This can lower the number of index searches for multi-column scans that
use a ">" key on one of the index's prefix columns (or use a "<" key,
when scanning backwards) when it precedes some later lower-order key.

For example, an index qual "WHERE a > 5 AND b = 2" will now be converted
to "WHERE a >= 6 AND b = 2" by a new preprocessing step that takes place
after low_compare and high_compare have been finalized.  That way, the
initial call to _bt_first can use "WHERE a >= 6 AND b = 2" to find an
initial position, rather than just using "WHERE a > 5" -- "b = 2" can be
applied during every _bt_first call.  There's a decent chance that this
will allow such a scan to avoid the extra search that might otherwise be
needed to determine the lowest "a" value still satisfying "WHERE a > 5".

The transformation process can only lower the total number of index
pages read when the use of a more restrictive set of initial positioning
keys in _bt_first actually allows the scan to land on some later leaf
page directly, relative to the unoptimized case (or on an earlier leaf
page directly, when scanning backwards).  But the savings can really add
up in cases where an affected skip array comes after some other array.
For example, a scan indexqual "WHERE x IN (1, 2, 3) AND y > 5 AND z = 2"
can save as many as 3 _bt_first calls by applying the new transformation
to its "y" array (up to 1 extra search can be avoided per "x" element).

Follow-up to commit 92fe23d9, which added nbtree skip scan.

21a152b37f Improve nbtree skip scan primitive scan scheduling.
Don't allow nbtree scans with skip arrays to end any primitive scan on
its first leaf page without giving some consideration to how many times
the scan's arrays advanced while changing at least one skip array
(though continue not caring about the number of array advancements that
only affected SAOP arrays, even during skip scans with SAOP arrays).
Now when a scan performs more than 3 such array advancements in the
course of reading a single leaf page, it is taken as a signal that the
next page is unlikely to be skippable.  We'll therefore continue the
ongoing primitive index scan, at least until we can perform a recheck
against the next page's finaltup.

Testing has shown that this new heuristic occasionally makes all the
difference with skip scans that were expected to rely on the "passed
first page" heuristic added by commit 9a2e2a28.  Without it, there is a
remaining risk that certain kinds of skip scans will never quite manage
to clear the initial hurdle of performing a primitive scan that lasts
beyond its first leaf page (or that such a skip scan will only clear
that initial hurdle when it has already wasted noticeably-many cycles
due to inefficient primitive scan scheduling).

8a510275dd Further optimize nbtree search scan key comparisons.
Postgres 17 commit e0b1ee17 added two complementary optimizations to
nbtree: the "prechecked" and "firstmatch" optimizations.  _bt_readpage
was made to avoid needlessly evaluating keys that are guaranteed to be
satisfied by applying page-level context.  "prechecked" did this for
keys required in the current scan direction, while "firstmatch" did it
for keys required in the opposite-to-scan direction only.

The "prechecked" design had a number of notable issues.  It didn't
account for the fact that an = array scan key's sk_argument field might
need to advance at the point of the page precheck (it didn't check the
precheck tuple against the key's array, only the key's sk_argument,
which needlessly made it ineffective in cases involving stepping to a
page having advanced the scan's arrays using a truncated high key).
"prechecked" was also completely ineffective when only one scan key
wasn't guaranteed to be satisfied by every tuple (it didn't recognize
that it was still safe to avoid evaluating other, earlier keys).

The "firstmatch" optimization had similar limitations.  It could only be
applied after _bt_readpage found its first matching tuple, regardless of
why any earlier tuples failed to satisfy the scan's index quals.  This
allowed unsatisfied non-required scan keys to impede the optimization.

Replace both optimizations with a new optimization, without any of these
limitations: the "startikey" optimization.  Affected _bt_readpage calls
generate a page-level key offset ("startikey"), that their _bt_checkkeys
calls can then start at.  This is an offset to the first key that isn't
known to be satisfied by every tuple on the page.

Although this is independently useful work, its main goal is to avoid
performance regressions with index scans that use skip arrays, but still
never manage to skip over irrelevant leaf pages.  We must avoid wasting
CPU cycles on overly granular skip array maintenance in these cases.
The new "startikey" optimization helps with this by selectively
disabling array maintenance for the duration of a _bt_readpage call.
This has no lasting consequences for the scan's array keys (they'll
still reliably track the scan's progress through the index's key space
whenever the scan is "between pages").

Skip scan adds skip arrays during preprocessing using simple, static
rules, and decides how best to navigate/apply the scan's skip arrays
dynamically, at runtime.  The "startikey" optimization enables this
approach.  As a result of all this, the planner doesn't need to generate
distinct, competing index paths (one path for skip scan, another for an
equivalent traditional full index scan).  The overall effect is to make
scan runtime close to optimal, even when the planner works off an
incorrect cardinality estimate.  Scans will also perform well given a
skipped column with data skew: individual groups of pages with many
distinct values (in respect of a skipped column) can be read about as
efficiently as before -- without the scan being forced to give up on
skipping over other groups of pages that are provably irrelevant.

Many scans that cannot possibly skip will still benefit from the use of
skip arrays, since they'll allow the "startikey" optimization to be as
effective as possible (by allowing preprocessing to mark all the scan's
keys as required).  A scan that uses a skip array on "a" for a qual
"WHERE a BETWEEN 0 AND 1_000_000 AND b = 42" is often much faster now,
even when every tuple read by the scan has its own distinct "a" value.
However, there are still some remaining regressions, affecting certain
trickier cases.

Scans whose index quals have several range skip arrays, each on some
high cardinality column, can still be slower than they were before the
introduction of skip scan -- even with the new "startikey" optimization.
There are also known regressions affecting very selective index scans
that use a skip array.  The underlying issue with such selective scans
is that they never get as far as reading a second leaf page, and so will
never get a chance to consider applying the "startikey" optimization.
In principle, all regressions could be avoided by teaching preprocessing
to not add skip arrays whenever they aren't expected to help, but it
seems best to err on the side of robust performance.

Follow-up to commit 92fe23d9, which added nbtree skip scan.

92fe23d93a Add nbtree skip scan optimization.
Teach nbtree multi-column index scans to opportunistically skip over
irrelevant sections of the index given a query with no "=" conditions on
one or more prefix index columns.  When nbtree is passed input scan keys
derived from a predicate "WHERE b = 5", new nbtree preprocessing steps
output "WHERE a = ANY(<every possible 'a' value>) AND b = 5" scan keys.
That is, preprocessing generates a "skip array" (and an output scan key)
for the omitted prefix column "a", which makes it safe to mark the scan
key on "b" as required to continue the scan.  The scan is therefore able
to repeatedly reposition itself by applying both the "a" and "b" keys.

A skip array has "elements" that are generated procedurally and on
demand, but otherwise works just like a regular ScalarArrayOp array.
Preprocessing can freely add a skip array before or after any input
ScalarArrayOp arrays.  Index scans with a skip array decide when and
where to reposition the scan using the same approach as any other scan
with array keys.  This design builds on the design for array advancement
and primitive scan scheduling added to Postgres 17 by commit 5bf748b8.

Testing has shown that skip scans of an index with a low cardinality
skipped prefix column can be multiple orders of magnitude faster than an
equivalent full index scan (or sequential scan).  In general, the
cardinality of the scan's skipped column(s) limits the number of leaf
pages that can be skipped over.

The core B-Tree operator classes on most discrete types generate their
array elements with the help of their own custom skip support routine.
This infrastructure gives nbtree a way to generate the next required
array element by incrementing (or decrementing) the current array value.
It can reduce the number of index descents in cases where the next
possible indexable value frequently turns out to be the next value
stored in the index.  Opclasses that lack a skip support routine fall
back on having nbtree "increment" (or "decrement") a skip array's
current element by setting the NEXT (or PRIOR) scan key flag, without
directly changing the scan key's sk_argument.  These sentinel values
behave just like any other value from an array -- though they can never
locate equal index tuples (they can only locate the next group of index
tuples containing the next set of non-sentinel values that the scan's
arrays need to advance to).

A skip array's range is constrained by "contradictory" inequality keys.
For example, a skip array on "x" will only generate the values 1 and 2
given a qual such as "WHERE x BETWEEN 1 AND 2 AND y = 66".  Such a skip
array qual usually has near-identical performance characteristics to a
comparable SAOP qual "WHERE x = ANY('{1, 2}') AND y = 66".  However,
improved performance isn't guaranteed.  Much depends on physical index
characteristics.

B-Tree preprocessing is optimistic about skipping working out: it
applies static, generic rules when determining where to generate skip
arrays, which assumes that the runtime overhead of maintaining skip
arrays will pay for itself -- or lead to only a modest performance loss.
As things stand, these assumptions are much too optimistic: skip array
maintenance will lead to unacceptable regressions with unsympathetic
queries (queries whose scan can't skip over many irrelevant leaf pages).
An upcoming commit will address the problems in this area by enhancing
_bt_readpage's approach to saving cycles on scan key evaluation, making
it work in a way that directly considers the needs of = array keys
(particularly = skip array keys).

c0962a113d Convert 'x IN (VALUES ...)' to 'x = ANY ...' then appropriate
This commit implements the automatic conversion of 'x IN (VALUES ...)' into
ScalarArrayOpExpr.  That simplifies the query tree, eliminating the appearance
of an unnecessary join.

Since VALUES describes a relational table, and the value of such a list is
a table row, the optimizer will likely face an underestimation problem due to
the inability to estimate cardinality through MCV statistics.  The cardinality
evaluation mechanism can work with the array inclusion check operation.
If the array is small enough (< 100 elements), it will perform a statistical
evaluation element by element.

We perform the transformation in the convert_ANY_sublink_to_join() if VALUES
RTE is proper and the transformation is convertible.  The conversion is only
possible for operations on scalar values, not rows.  Also, we currently
support the transformation only when it ends up with a constant array.
Otherwise, the evaluation of non-hashed SAOP might be slower than the
corresponding Hash Join with VALUES.

This commit extends ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES to allow defining default

1aff1dc8df Revert "Improve accounting for memory used by shared hash tables"
This reverts commit f5930f9a98.

This broke the expansion of private hash tables, which reallocates the
directory. But that's impossible when it's allocated together with the
other fields, and dir_realloc() failed with BogusFree. Clearly, this
needs rethinking.

88f55bc976 Make derived clause lookup in EquivalenceClass more efficient
Derived clauses are stored in ec_derives, a List of RestrictInfos.
These clauses are later looked up by matching the left and right
EquivalenceMembers along with the clause's parent EC.

This linear search becomes expensive in queries with many joins or
partitions, where ec_derives may contain thousands of entries. In
particular, create_join_clause() can spend significant time scanning
this list.

To improve performance, introduce a hash table (ec_derives_hash) that
is built when the list reaches 32 entries -- the same threshold used
for join_rel_hash. The original list is retained alongside the hash
table to support EC merging and serialization
(_outEquivalenceClass()).

Each clause is stored in the hash table using a canonicalized key: the
EquivalenceMember with the lower memory address is placed in the key
before the one with the higher memory address. This avoids storing or
searching for both permutations of the same clause. For clauses
involving a constant EM, the key places NULL in the first slot and the
non-constant EM in the second.

The hash table is initialized using list_length(ec_derives_list) as
the size hint. simplehash internally adjusts this to the next power of
two after dividing by the fillfactor, so this typically results in at
least 64 buckets near the threshold -- avoiding immediate resizing
while adapting to the actual number of entries.

The lookup logic for derived clauses is now centralized in
ec_search_derived_clause_for_ems(), which consults the hash table when
available and falls back to the list otherwise.

The new ec_clear_derived_clauses() always frees ec_derives_list, even
though some of the original code paths that cleared the old
ec_derives field did not. This ensures consistent cleanup and avoids
leaking memory when large lists are discarded.

An assertion originally placed in find_derived_clause_for_ec_member()
is moved into ec_search_derived_clause_for_ems() so that it is
enforced consistently, regardless of whether the hash table or list is
used for lookup.

This design incorporates suggestions by David Rowley, who proposed
both the key canonicalization and the initial sizing approach to
balance memory usage and CPU efficiency.

887160d1be Add assertion to verify derived clause has constant RHS
find_derived_clause_for_ec_member() searches for a previously-derived
clause that equates a non-constant EquivalenceMember to a constant.
It is only called for EquivalenceClasses with ec_has_const set, and
with a non-constant member the EquivalenceMember to search for.

The matched clause is expected to have the non-constant member on the
left-hand side and the constant EquivalenceMember on the right.

structure and enforce assumptions made by

Previously bitmap heap scan was not AIO batchmode safe because of the
visibility map reads potentially done for the "skip fetch" optimization
(which skipped fetching tuples from the heap if the pages were all
visible and none of the columns were used in the query).

The skip fetch optimization implementation was found to have bugs and
was removed in 459e7bf8e2, so we can safely enable batchmode for

fd09c1316b Restrict copying of invalidated replication slots.
Previously, invalidated logical and physical replication slots could
be copied using the pg_copy_logical_replication_slot and
pg_copy_physical_replication_slot functions. Replication slots that
were invalidated for reasons other than WAL removal retained their
restart_lsn. This meant that a new slot copied from an invalidated
slot could have a restart_lsn pointing to a WAL segment that might
have already been removed.

This commit restricts the copying of invalidated replication slots.

Backpatch to v16, where slots could retain their restart_lsn when
invalidated for reasons other than WAL removal.

For v15 and earlier, this check is not required since slots can only
be invalidated due to WAL removal, and existing checks already handle
this issue.

4868c96bc8 Fix slot synchronization for two_phase enabled slots.
The issue is that the transactions prepared before two-phase decoding is
enabled can fail to replicate to the subscriber after being committed on a
promoted standby following a failover. This is because the two_phase_at
field of a slot, which tracks the LSN from which two-phase decoding
starts, is not synchronized to standby servers. Without two_phase_at, the
logical decoding might incorrectly identify prepared transaction as
already replicated to the subscriber after promotion of standby server,
causing them to be skipped.

To address the issue on HEAD, the two_phase_at field of the slot is
exposed by the pg_replication_slots view and allows the slot
synchronization to copy this value to the corresponding synced slot on the
standby server.

This bug is likely to occur if the user toggles the two_phase option to
true after initial slot creation. Given that altering the two_phase option
of a replication slot is not allowed in PostgreSQL 17, this bug is less
likely to occur. We can't change the view/function definition in
backbranch so we can't push the same fix but we are brainstorming an
appropriate solution for PG17.

a7187c3723 Remove unnecessary type violation in tsvectorrecv().
compareentry() is declared to work on WordEntryIN structs, but
tsvectorrecv() is using it in two places to work on WordEntry
structs.  This is almost okay, since WordEntry is the first
field of WordEntryIN.  But on machines with 8-byte pointers,
WordEntryIN will have a larger alignment spec than WordEntry,
and it's at least theoretically possible that the compiler
could generate code that depends on the larger alignment.

Given the lack of field reports, this may be just a hypothetical bug
that upsets nothing except sanitizer tools.  Or it may be real on
certain hardware but nobody's tried to use tsvectorrecv() on such
hardware.  In any case we should fix it, and the fix is trivial:
just change compareentry() so that it works on WordEntry without any
mention of WordEntryIN.  We can also get rid of the quite-useless
intermediate function WordEntryCMP.

459e7bf8e2 Remove HeapBitmapScan's skip_fetch optimization
The optimization does not take the removal of TIDs by a concurrent vacuum into
account. The concurrent vacuum can remove dead TIDs and make pages ALL_VISIBLE
while those dead TIDs are referenced in the bitmap. This can lead to a
skip_fetch scan returning too many tuples.

It likely would be possible to implement this optimization safely, but we
don't have the necessary infrastructure in place. Nor is it clear that it's
worth building that infrastructure, given how limited the skip_fetch
optimization is.

In the backbranches we just disable the optimization by always passing
need_tuples=true to table_beginscan_bm(). We can't perform API/ABI changes in
the backbranches and we want to make the change as minimal as possible.

0dca5d68d7 Change SQL-language functions to use the plan cache.
In the historical implementation of SQL functions (if they don't get
inlined), we built plans for all the contained queries at first call
within an outer query, and then re-used those plans for the duration
of the outer query, and then forgot everything.  This was not ideal,
not least because the plans could not be customized to specific values
of the function's parameters.  Our plancache infrastructure seems
mature enough to be used here.  That will solve both the problem with
not being able to build custom plans and the problem with not being
able to share work across successive outer queries.

Aside from those performance concerns, this change fixes a
longstanding bugaboo with SQL functions: you could not write DDL that
would affect later statements in the same function.  That's mostly
still true with new-style SQL functions, since the results of parse
analysis are baked into the stored query trees (and protected by
dependency records).  But for old-style SQL functions, it will now
work much as it does with PL/pgSQL functions, because we delay parse
analysis and planning of each query until we're ready to run it.
Some edge cases that require replanning are now handled better too;
see for example the new rowsecurity test, where we now detect an RLS
context change that was previously missed.

One other edge-case change that might be worthy of a release note
is that we now insist that a SQL function's result be generated
by the physically-last query within it.  Previously, if the last
original query was deleted by a DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule, we'd be
willing to take the result from the preceding query instead.
This behavior was undocumented except in source-code comments,
and it seems hard to believe that anyone's relying on it.

Along the way to this feature, we needed a few infrastructure changes:

* The plancache can now take either a raw parse tree or an
analyzed-but-not-rewritten Query as the starting point for a
CachedPlanSource.  If given a Query, it is caller's responsibility
that nothing will happen to invalidate that form of the query.
We use this for new-style SQL functions, where what's in pg_proc is
serialized Query(s) and we trust the dependency mechanism to disallow
DDL that would break those.

* The plancache now offers a way to invoke a post-rewrite callback
to examine/modify the rewritten parse tree when it is rebuilding
the parse trees after a cache invalidation.  We need this because
SQL functions sometimes adjust the parse tree to make its output
exactly match the declared result type; if the plan gets rebuilt,
that has to be re-done.

* There is a new backend module utils/cache/funccache.c that
abstracts the idea of caching data about a specific function
usage (a particular function and set of input data types).
The code in it is moved almost verbatim from PL/pgSQL, which
has done that for a long time.  We use that logic now for
SQL-language functions too, and maybe other PLs will have use
for it in the future.

e9e7b66044 Add GiST and btree sortsupport routines for range types
For GiST, having a sortsupport function allows building the index
using the "sorted build" method, which is much faster.

For b-tree, the sortsupport routine doesn't give any new
functionality, but speeds up sorting a tiny bit. The difference is not
very significant, about 2% in cursory testing on my laptop, because
the range type comparison function has quite a lot of overhead from
detoasting. In any case, since we have the function for GiST anyway,
we might as well register it for the btree opfamily too.

46df9487d9 Improve accounting for PredXactList, RWConflictPool and PGPROC
Various places allocated shared memory by first allocating a small chunk
using ShmemInitStruct(), followed by ShmemAlloc() calls to allocate more
memory. Unfortunately, ShmemAlloc() does not update ShmemIndex, so this
affected pg_shmem_allocations - it only shown the initial chunk.

This commit modifies the following allocations, to allocate everything
as a single chunk, and then split it internally.

- PredXactList
- RWConflictPool
- PGPROC structures
- Fast-Path Lock Array

The fast-path lock array is allocated separately, not as a part of the
PGPROC structures allocation.

f5930f9a98 Improve accounting for memory used by shared hash tables
pg_shmem_allocations tracks the memory allocated by ShmemInitStruct(),
but for shared hash tables that covered only the header and hash
directory.  The remaining parts (segments and buckets) were allocated
later using ShmemAlloc(), which does not update the shmem accounting.
Thus, these allocations were not shown in pg_shmem_allocations.

This commit improves the situation by allocating all the hash table
parts at once, using a single ShmemInitStruct() call. This way the
ShmemIndex entries (and thus pg_shmem_allocations) better reflect the
proper size of the hash table.

This affects allocations for private (non-shared) hash tables too, as
the hash_create() code is shared. For non-shared tables this however
makes no practical difference.

This changes the alignment a bit. ShmemAlloc() aligns the chunks using
CACHELINEALIGN(), which means some parts (header, directory, segments)
were aligned this way. Allocating all parts as a single chunk removes
this (implicit) alignment. We've considered adding explicit alignment,
but we've decided not to - it seems to be merely a coincidence due to
using the ShmemAlloc() API, not due to necessity.

a460251f0a Make cancel request keys longer
Currently, the cancel request key is a 32-bit token, which isn't very
much entropy. If you want to cancel another session's query, you can
brute-force it. In most environments, an unauthorized cancellation of
a query isn't very serious, but it nevertheless would be nice to have
more protection from it. Hence make the key longer, to make it harder
to guess.

The longer cancellation keys are generated when using the new protocol
version 3.2. For connections using version 3.0, short 4-bytes keys are
still used.

The new longer key length is not hardcoded in the protocol anymore,
the client is expected to deal with variable length keys, up to 256
bytes. This flexibility allows e.g. a connection pooler to add more
information to the cancel key, which might be useful for finding the
connection.

eec0040c4b Add support for NOT ENFORCED in foreign key constraints
This expands the NOT ENFORCED constraint flag, previously only
supported for CHECK constraints (commit ca87c415e2), to foreign key
constraints.

Normally, when a foreign key constraint is created on a table, action
and check triggers are added to maintain data integrity.  With this
patch, if a constraint is marked as NOT ENFORCED, integrity checks are
no longer required, making these triggers unnecessary.  Consequently,
when creating a NOT ENFORCED foreign key constraint, triggers will not
be created, and the constraint will be marked as NOT VALID.
Similarly, if an existing foreign key constraint is changed to NOT
ENFORCED, the associated triggers will be dropped, and the constraint
will also be marked as NOT VALID.  Conversely, if a NOT ENFORCED
foreign key constraint is changed to ENFORCED, the necessary triggers
will be created, and the will be changed to VALID by performing
necessary validation.

Since not-enforced foreign key constraints have no triggers, the
shortcut used for example in psql and pg_dump to skip looking for
foreign keys if the relation is known not to have triggers no longer
applies.  (It already didn't work for partitioned tables.)

`MemSet((char *) NewPage, 0, XLOG_BLCKSZ);` can run in parallel without

The new algorithm works as follows:
 * reserve a page for initialization using XLogCtl->InitializeReserved,
 * ensure the page is written out,
 * once the page is initialized, try to advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo and
   signal to waiters using XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar condition
   variable,
 * repeat previous steps until we reserve initialization up to the target
   WAL position,
 * wait until concurrent initialization finishes using a
   XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar.

Now, multiple backends can, in parallel, concurrently reserve pages,
initialize them, and advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo to point to the latest
initialized page.

b53b88109f Improve error message when standby does accept connections.
Even after reaching the minimum recovery point, if there are long-lived
write transactions with 64 subtransactions on the primary, the recovery
snapshot may not yet be ready for hot standby, delaying read-only
connections on the standby. Previously, when read-only connections were
not accepted due to this condition, the following error message was logged:

    FATAL:  the database system is not yet accepting connections
    DETAIL:  Consistent recovery state has not been yet reached.

This DETAIL message was misleading because the following message was
already logged in this case:

    LOG:  consistent recovery state reached

This contradiction, i.e., indicating that the recovery state was consistent
while also stating it wasn’t, caused confusion.

This commit improves the error message to better reflect the actual state:

    FATAL: the database system is not yet accepting connections
    DETAIL: Recovery snapshot is not yet ready for hot standby.
    HINT: To enable hot standby, close write transactions with more than 64 subtransactions on the primary server.

To implement this, the commit introduces a new postmaster signal,
PMSIGNAL_RECOVERY_CONSISTENT. When the startup process reaches
a consistent recovery state, it sends this signal to the postmaster,
allowing it to correctly recognize that state.

Since this is not a clear bug, the change is applied only to the master
branch and is not back-patched.

optimally by building and probing a hash table during expression
evaluation.

These commits both worked correctly when there was only a single
ScalarArrayOpExpr in the given expression being processed by the
planner, but when there were multiple, only the first was checked and any
subsequent ones were not identified, which resulted in less optimal
expression evaluation during query execution for all but the first found
ScalarArrayOpExpr.

00066aa173 md: Add comment & assert to buffer-zeroing path in md[start]readv()
mdreadv() has a codepath to zero out buffers when a read returns zero bytes,
guarded by a check for zero_damaged_pages || InRecovery.

The InRecovery codepath to zero out buffers in mdreadv() appears to be
unreachable. The only known paths to reach mdreadv()/mdstartreadv() in
recovery are XLogReadBufferExtended(), vm_readbuf(), and fsm_readbuf(), each
of which takes care to extend the relation if necessary. This looks to either
have been the case for a long time, or the code was never reachable.

The zero_damaged_pages path is incomplete, as missing segments are not
created.

Putting blocks into the buffer-pool that do not exist on disk is rather
problematic, as such blocks will, at least initially, not be found by scans
that rely on smgrnblocks(), as they are beyond EOF. It also can cause weird
problems with relation extension, as relation extension does not expect blocks
beyond EOF to exist.

Therefore we would like to remove that path.

mdstartreadv(), which I added in e5fe570b51c, does not implement this zeroing
logic. I had started a discussion about that a while ago (linked below), but
forgot to act on the conclusion of the discussion, namely to disable the
in-memory-zeroing behavior.

We could certainly implement equivalent zeroing logic in mdstartreadv(), but
it would have to be more complicated due to potential differences in the
zero_damaged_pages setting between the definer and completor of IO. Given that
we want to remove the logic, that does not seem worth implementing the
necessary logic.

For now, put an Assert(false) and comments documenting this choice into
mdreadv() and comments documenting the deprecation of the path in mdreadv()
and the non-implementation of it in mdstartreadv().  If we, during testing,
discover that we do need the path, we can implement it at that time.

Previously effective_io_concurrency and maintenance_io_concurrency could not

without such support, via io_method=worker.

Currently only subsystems using the read stream API will take advantage of

which leverage OS advice directly will not benefit from this change. In those
cases, maintenance_io_concurrency will have no effect on I/O behavior.

ae3df4b341 read_stream: Introduce and use optional batchmode support
Submitting IO in larger batches can be more efficient than doing so
one-by-one, particularly for many small reads. It does, however, require
the ReadStreamBlockNumberCB callback to abide by the restrictions of AIO
batching (c.f. pgaio_enter_batchmode()). Basically, the callback may not:
a) block without first calling pgaio_submit_staged(), unless a
   to-be-waited-on lock cannot be part of a deadlock, e.g. because it is
   never held while waiting for IO.

b) directly or indirectly start another batch pgaio_enter_batchmode()

As this requires care and is nontrivial in some cases, batching is only
used with explicit opt-in.

This patch adds an explicit flag (READ_STREAM_USE_BATCHING) to read_stream and
uses it where appropriate.

There are two cases where batching would likely be beneficial, but where we
aren't using it yet:

1) bitmap heap scans, because the callback reads the VM

   This should soon be solved, because we are planning to remove the use of
   the VM, due to that not being sound.

2) The first phase of heap vacuum

   This could be made to support batchmode, but would require some care.

  continue issuing advice
- AIO benefits from reading ahead with direct IO
- If effective_io_concurrency=0, pass READ_BUFFERS_SYNCHRONOUSLY to
  StartReadBuffers() to ensure synchronous IO execution

There are further improvements we should consider:

- While in read_stream_look_ahead(), we can use AIO batch submission mode for
  increased efficiency. That however requires care to avoid deadlocks and thus
  done separately.
- It can be beneficial to defer starting new IOs until we can issue multiple
  IOs at once. That however requires non-trivial heuristics to decide when to
  do so.

12ce89fd07 bufmgr: Use AIO in StartReadBuffers()
This finally introduces the first actual use of AIO. StartReadBuffers() now
uses the AIO routines to issue IO.

As the implementation of StartReadBuffers() is also used by the functions for
reading individual blocks (StartReadBuffer() and through that
ReadBufferExtended()) this means all buffered read IO passes through the AIO
paths.  However, as those are synchronous reads, actually performing the IO
asynchronously would be rarely beneficial. Instead such IOs are flagged to
always be executed synchronously. This way we don't have to duplicate a fair
bit of code.

When io_method=sync is used, the IO patterns generated after this change are
the same as before, i.e. actual reads are only issued in WaitReadBuffers() and
StartReadBuffers() may issue prefetch requests.  This allows to bypass most of
the actual asynchronicity, which is important to make a change as big as this
less risky.

One thing worth calling out is that, if IO is actually executed
asynchronously, the precise meaning of what track_io_timing is measuring has
changed. Previously it tracked the time for each IO, but that does not make
sense when multiple IOs are executed concurrently. Now it only measures the
time actually spent waiting for IO. A subsequent commit will adjust the docs
for this.

While AIO is now actually used, the logic in read_stream.c will often prevent
using sufficiently many concurrent IOs. That will be addressed in the next
commit.

047cba7fa0 bufmgr: Implement AIO read support
This commit implements the infrastructure to perform asynchronous reads into
the buffer pool.

To do so, it:

- Adds readv AIO callbacks for shared and local buffers

  It may be worth calling out that shared buffer completions may be run in a
  different backend than where the IO started.

- Adds an AIO wait reference to BufferDesc, to allow backends to wait for
  in-progress asynchronous IOs

- Adapts StartBufferIO(), WaitIO(), TerminateBufferIO(), and their localbuf.c
  equivalents, to be able to deal with AIO

- Moves the code to handle BM_PIN_COUNT_WAITER into a helper function, as it
  now also needs to be called on IO completion

As of this commit, nothing issues AIO on shared/local buffers. A future commit
will update StartReadBuffers() to do so.

Buffer reads executed through this infrastructure will report invalid page /
checksum errors / warnings differently than before:

In the error case the error message will cover all the blocks that were
included in the read, rather than just the reporting the first invalid
block. If more than one block is invalid, the error will include information
about the range of the read, the first invalid block and the number of invalid
pages, with a HINT towards the server log for per-block details.

For the warning case (i.e. zero_damaged_buffers) we would previously emit one
warning message for each buffer in a multi-block read. Now there is only a
single warning message for the entire read, again referring to the server log
for more details in case of multiple checksum failures within a single larger
read.

ef64fe26ba aio: Add WARNING result status
If an IO succeeds, but issues a warning, e.g. due to a page verification
failure with zero_damaged_pages, we want to issue that warning in the context
of the issuer of the IO, not the process that executes the completion (always
the case for worker).

It's already possible for a completion callback to report a custom error
message, we just didn't have a result status that allowed a user of AIO to
know that a warning should be emitted even though the IO request succeeded.

All that's needed for that is a dedicated PGAIO_RS_ value.

Previously there were not enough bits in PgAioResult.id for the new
value. Increase. While at that, add defines for the amount of bits and static
asserts to check that the widths are appropriate.

which guarantees the relevant pgstats entry is in shared memory, the relevant
DSM segment is mapped into the backend's memory and the address is known via a
PgStat_EntryRef.

d6d8054dc7 localbuf: Track pincount in BufferDesc as well
For AIO on temporary table buffers the AIO subsystem needs to be able to
ensure a pin on a buffer while AIO is going on, even if the IO issuing query
errors out. Tracking the buffer in LocalRefCount does not work, as it would
cause CheckForLocalBufferLeaks() to assert out.

Instead, also track the refcount in BufferDesc.state, not just
LocalRefCount. This also makes local buffers behave a bit more akin to shared
buffers.

Note that we still don't need locking, AIO completion callbacks for local
buffers are executed in the issuing session (i.e. nobody else has access to
the BufferDesc).

dee8002468 Fix mis-attribution of checksum failure stats to the wrong database
Checksum failure stats could be attributed to the wrong database in two cases:

- when a read of a shared relation encountered a checksum error , it would be
  attributed to the current database, instead of the "database" representing
  shared relations

- when using CREATE DATABASE ... STRATEGY WAL_LOG checksum errors in the
  source database would be attributed to the current database

The checksum stats reporting via PageIsVerifiedExtended(PIV_REPORT_STAT) does
not have access to the information about what database a page belongs to.

This fixes the issue by removing PIV_REPORT_STAT and delegating the
responsibility to report stats to the caller, which now can learn about the
number of stats via a new optional argument.

As this changes the signature of PageIsVerifiedExtended() and all callers
should adapt to the new signature, use the occasion to rename the function to
PageIsVerified() and remove the compatibility macro.

We could instead have fixed this by adding information about the database to
the args of PageIsVerified(), but there are soon-to-be-applied patches that
need to separate the stats reporting from the PageIsVerified() call
anyway. Those patches also include testing for the failure paths, something we
inexplicably have not had.

As there is no caller of pgstat_report_checksum_failure() left, remove it.

It'd be possible, but awkward to fix this in the back branches. We considered
doing the work not quite worth it, as mis-attributed stats should still elicit
concern. The emitted error messages do allow to attribute the errors
correctly.

The uuidv7_interval() function previously converted a shifted
microsecond-precision timestamp (64-bit integer) to another 64-bit
integer representing a timestamp with nanosecond precision. This
conversion caused overflow for dates beyond the year 2262. The
millisecond and sub-millisecond parts were then extracted from this
nanosecond-precision timestamp and stored in UUIDv7 values.

With this commit, the millisecond and sub-millisecond parts are stored
directly into the UUIDv7 value without being converted back to a
nanosecond precision timestamp. Following RFC 9562, the timestamp is
stored as an unsigned integer, enabling support for dates up to the
year 10889.

Reported and fixed by Andrey Borodin, with cosmetic changes and
regression tests by me.

cdc168ad4b Add support for not-null constraints on virtual generated columns
This was left out of the original patch for virtual generated columns
(commit 83ea6c5402).

This just involves a bit of extra work in the executor to expand the
generation expressions and run a "IS NOT NULL" test against them.

There is also a bit of work to make sure that not-null constraints are
checked during a table rewrite.

058b5152f0 Fix guc_malloc calls for consistency and OOM checks
check_createrole_self_grant and check_synchronized_standby_slots
were allocating memory on a LOG elevel without checking if the
allocation succeeded or not, which would have led to a segfault
on allocation failure.

On top of that, a number of callsites were using the ERROR level,
relying on erroring out rather than returning false to allow the
GUC machinery handle it gracefully.  Other callsites used WARNING
instead of LOG.  While neither being not wrong, this changes all
check_ functions do it consistently with LOG.

init_custom_variable gets a promoted elevel to FATAL to keep
the guc_malloc error handling in line with the rest of the
error handling in that function which already call FATAL.  If
we encounter an OOM in this callsite there is no graceful
handling to be had, better to error out hard.

Backpatch the fix to check_createrole_self_grant down to v16
and the fix to check_synchronized_standby_slots down to v17
where they were introduced.

b98be8a2a2 Provide thread-safe pg_localeconv_r().
This involves four different implementation strategies:

1.  For Windows, we now require _configthreadlocale() to be available
and work (commit f1da075d9a), and the documentation says that the
object returned by localeconv() is in thread-local memory.

2.  For glibc, we translate to nl_langinfo_l() calls, because it
offers the same information that way as an extension, and that API is
thread-safe.

3.  For macOS/*BSD, use localeconv_l(), which is thread-safe.

4.  For everything else, use uselocale() to set the locale for the
thread, and use a big ugly lock to defend against the returned object
being concurrently clobbered.  In practice this currently means only
Solaris.

The new call is used in pg_locale.c, replacing calls to setlocale() and
localeconv().

f31aad9b07 Fix query jumbling to account for NULL nodes
Previously NULL nodes were ignored.  This could cause issues where the
computed query ID could match for queries where fields that are next to
each other in their Node struct where one field was NULL and the other
non-NULL.  For example, the Query struct had distinctClause and sortClause
next to each other.  If someone wrote;

SELECT DISTINCT c1 FROM t;

and then;

SELECT c1 FROM t ORDER BY c1;

these would produce the same query ID since, in the first query, we
ignored the NULL sortClause and appended the jumble bytes for the
distictClause.  In the latter query, since we did nothing for the NULL
distinctClause then jumble the non-NULL sortClause, and since the node
representation stored is the same in both cases, the query IDs were
identical.

Here we fix this by always accounting for NULL nodes by recording that
we saw a NULL in the jumble buffer.  This fixes the issue as the order that
the NULL is recorded isn't the same in the above two queries.

Performing AIO using io_uring can be considerably faster than
io_method=worker, particularly when lots of small IOs are issued, as
a) the context-switch overhead for worker based AIO becomes more significant
b) the number of IO workers can become limiting

io_uring, however, is linux specific and requires an additional compile-time
dependency (liburing).

This implementation is fairly simple and there are substantial optimization
opportunities.

The description of the existing AIO_IO_COMPLETION wait event is updated to
make the difference between it and the new AIO_IO_URING_EXECUTION clearer.

818245506c Keep the decompressed filter in brin_bloom_union
The brin_bloom_union() function combines two BRIN summaries, by merging
one filter into the other. With bloom, we have to decompress the filters
first, but the function failed to update the summary to store the merged
filter. As a consequence, the index may be missing some of the data, and
return false negatives.

This issue exists since BRIN bloom indexes were introduced in Postgres
14, but at that point the union function was called only when two
sessions happened to summarize a range concurrently, which is rare. It
got much easier to hit in 17, as parallel builds use the union function
to merge summaries built by workers.

Fixed by storing a pointer to the decompressed filter, and freeing the
original one. Free the second filter too, if it was decompressed. The
freeing is not strictly necessary, because the union is called in
short-lived contexts, but it's tidy.

Backpatch to 14, where BRIN bloom indexes were introduced.

It seems potentially useful to label our shared libraries with version
information, now that a facility exists for retrieving that.  This
patch labels them with the PG_VERSION string.  There was some
discussion about using semantic versioning conventions, but that
doesn't seem terribly helpful for modules with no SQL-level presence;
and for those that do have SQL objects, we typically expect them
to support multiple revisions of the SQL definitions, so it'd still
not be very helpful.

I did not label any of src/test/modules/.  It seems unnecessary since
we don't install those, and besides there ought to be someplace that
still provides test coverage for the original PG_MODULE_MAGIC macro.

This feature is expected to be particularly useful for modules

modules that do belong to extensions, being able to verify the
actual code version can be useful.

787514b30b Use relation name instead of OID in query jumbling for RangeTblEntry
custom_query_jumble (introduced in 5ac462e2b7 as a node field
attribute) is now assigned to the expanded reference name "eref" of
RangeTblEntry, adding in the query jumble computation the non-qualified
aliased relation name, without the list of column names.  The relation
OID is removed from the query jumbling.

The effects of this change can be seen in the tests added by
3430215fe3, where pg_stat_statements (PGSS) entries are now grouped
using the relation name, ignoring the relation search_path may point at.
For example, these two relations are different, but are now grouped in a
single PGSS entry as they are assigned the same query ID:
CREATE TABLE foo1.tab (a int);
CREATE TABLE foo2.tab (b int);
SET search_path = 'foo1';
SELECT count(*) FROM tab;
SET search_path = 'foo2';
SELECT count(*) FROM tab;
SELECT count(*) FROM foo1.tab;
SELECT count(*) FROM foo2.tab;
SELECT query, calls FROM pg_stat_statements WHERE query ~ 'FROM tab';
          query           | calls
--------------------------+-------
 SELECT count(*) FROM tab |     4
(1 row)

It is still possible to use an alias in the FROM clause to split these.
This behavior is useful for relations re-created with the same name,
where queries based on such relations would be grouped in the same
PGSS entry.  For permanent schemas, it should not really matter in
practice.  The main benefit is for workloads that use a lot of temporary
relations, which are usually re-created with the same name continuously.
These can be a heavy source of bloat in PGSS depending on the workload.
Such entries can now be grouped together, improving the user experience.

The original idea from Christoph Berg used catalog lookups to find
temporary relations, something that the query jumble has never done, and
it could cause some performance regressions.  The idea to use
RangeTblEntry.eref and the relation name, applying the same rules for
all relations, temporary and not temporary, has been proposed by Tom
Lane.  The documentation additions have been suggested by Sami Imseih.

5ac462e2b7 Add support for custom_query_jumble as a node field attribute
This option gives the possibility for query jumble to define a custom
routine for the field of a Node, extending support for
custom_query_jumble as a node field attribute.  When dealing with
complex node structures, this can be simpler than having to enforce a
custom function across a full node.

Custom functions need to be defined in queryjumblefuncs.c, named as
_jumble${node}_${field}(), and use in input the JumbleState, the node
and its field.  The field is not really required if we have the Node,
but it makes custom implementations somewhat easier to think about.  The
code generated by gen_node_support.pl uses a macro called
JUMBLE_CUSTOM(), hiding the internals of the logic inside
queryjumblefuncs.c.

This will be used by an upcoming patch manipulating adding a custom

adb5f85fa5 Redefine max_files_per_process to control additionally opened files
Until now max_files_per_process=N limited each backend to open N files in
total (minus a safety factor), even if there were already more files opened in
postmaster and inherited by backends.  Change max_files_per_process to control
how many additional files each process is allowed to open.

The main motivation for this is the patch to add io_method=io_uring, which
needs to open one file for each backend.  Without this patch, even if
RLIMIT_NOFILE is high enough, postmaster will fail in set_max_safe_fds() if
started with a high max_connections.  The cause of the failure is that, until
now, set_max_safe_fds() subtracted the already open files from
max_files_per_process.

aea916fe55 Fix bitmapheapscan incorrect recheck of NULL tuples
The bitmap heap scan skip fetch optimization skips fetching the heap
block when a page is set all-visible in the visibility map and no
columns from the table are needed to satisfy the query.

2b73a8cd33 and c3953226a0 changed the control flow of bitmap heap scan
to use the read stream API. The read stream API returns buffers
containing blocks to the user. To make this work with the skip fetch
optimization, we keep a count of the empty tuples we need to emit for
all the blocks skipped and only emit the empty tuples after processing
the next block fetched from the heap or at the end of the scan.

It's incorrect to recheck NULL tuples, so we must set `recheck` to false
before yielding control back to BitmapHeapNext(). This was done before
emitting any remaining empty tuples at the end of the scan but not for
empty tuples emitted during the scan. This meant that if a page fetched
from the heap did require recheck and set `recheck` to true and then we
emitted empty tuples for subsequent blocks, we would get wrong results.

Fix this by always setting `recheck` to false before emitting empty
tuples.

73eba5004a Detect and Log multiple_unique_conflicts type conflict.
Introduce a new conflict type, multiple_unique_conflicts, to handle cases
where an incoming row during logical replication violates multiple UNIQUE
constraints.

Previously, the apply worker detected and reported only the first
encountered key conflict (insert_exists/update_exists), causing repeated
failures as each constraint violation needs to be handled one by one
making the process slow and error-prone.

With this patch, the apply worker checks all unique constraints upfront
once the first key conflict is detected and reports
multiple_unique_conflicts if multiple violations exist. This allows users
to resolve all conflicts at once by deleting all conflicting tuples rather
than dealing with them individually or skipping the transaction.

In the future, this will also allow us to specify different resolution
handlers for such a conflict type.

Add the stats for this conflict type in pg_stat_subscription_stats.

2a0cd38da5 Allow plugins to set a 64-bit plan identifier in PlannedStmt
This field can be optionally set in a PlannedStmt through the planner
hook, giving extensions the possibility to assign an identifier related
to a computed plan.  The backend is changed to report it in the backend
entry of a process running (including the extended query protocol), with
semantics and APIs to set or get it similar to what is used for the
existing query ID (introduced in the backend via 4f0b0966c8).  The plan
ID is reset at the same timing as the query ID.  Currently, this
information is not added to the system view pg_stat_activity; extensions
can access it through PgBackendStatus.

Some patches have been proposed to provide some features in the planning
area, where a plan identifier is used as a key to know the plan involved
(for statistics, plan storage and manipulations, etc.), and the point of
this commit is to provide an anchor in the backend that extensions can
rely on for future work.   The reset of the plan identifier is
controlled by core and follows the same pattern as the query identifier
added in 4f0b0966c8.

originally by Lukas Fittl, that Sami Imseih has proposed as an

2817525f0d Fix rare assertion failure in standby, if primary is restarted
During hot standby, ExpireAllKnownAssignedTransactionIds() and
ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() functions mark old transactions
as no-longer running, but they failed to update xactCompletionCount
and latestCompletedXid. AFAICS it would not lead to incorrect query
results, because those functions effectively turn in-progress
transactions into aborted transactions and an MVCC snapshot considers
both as "not visible". But it could surprise GetSnapshotDataReuse()
and trigger the "TransactionIdPrecedesOrEquals(TransactionXmin,
RecentXmin))" assertion in it, if the apparent xmin in a backend would
move backwards. We saw this happen when GetCatalogSnapshot() would
reuse an older catalog snapshot, when GetTransactionSnapshot() had
already advanced TransactionXmin.

The bug goes back all the way to commit 623a9ba79b in v14 that
introduced the snapshot reuse mechanism, but it started to happen more
frequently with commit 952365cded which removed a
GetTransactionSnapshot() call from backend startup. That made it more
likely for ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() to be called between
GetCatalogSnapshot() and the first GetTransactionSnapshot() in a
backend.

Andres Freund first spotted this assertion failure on buildfarm member
'skink'. Reproduction and analysis by Tomas Vondra.

9a2e2a285a Improve nbtree array primitive scan scheduling.
Add a new scheduling heuristic: don't end the ongoing primitive index
scan immediately (at the point where _bt_advance_array_keys notices that
the next set of matching tuples must be on a later page) if the primscan
already managed to step right/left from its first leaf page.  Schedule a
recheck against the next sibling leaf page's finaltup instead.

The new heuristic tends to avoid scenarios where the top-level scan
repeatedly starts and ends primitive index scans that each read only one
leaf page from a group of neighboring leaf pages.  Affected top-level
scans will now tend to step forward (or backward) through the index
instead, without wasting cycles on descending the index anew.

The recheck mechanism isn't exactly new.  But up until now it has only
been used to deal with edge cases involving high key finaltups with one
or more truncated -inf attributes that _bt_advance_array_keys deemed
"provisionally satisfied" (satisfied for the purposes of allowing the
scan to step onto the next page, subject to recheck once on that page).
The mechanism was added by commit 5bf748b8, which invented the general
concept of primitive scan scheduling.  It was later enhanced by commit
79fa7b3b, which taught it about cases involving -inf attributes that
satisfy inequality scan keys required in the opposite-to-scan direction
only (arguably, they should have been covered by the earliest version).
Now the recheck mechanism can be applied based on scan-level heuristics,
which have nothing to do with truncated high keys.  Now rechecks might
be performed by _bt_readpage when scanning in _either_ scan direction.

The theory behind the new heuristic is that any primitive scan that
makes it past its first leaf page is one that is already likely to have
arrays whose key values match index tuples that are closely clustered
together in the index.  The rules that determine whether we ever get
past the first page are still conservative (that'll still only happen
when pstate.finaltup strongly suggests that it's the right thing to do).
Surviving past the first leaf page is a strong signal in itself.

Preparation for an upcoming patch that will add skip scan optimizations
to nbtree.  That'll work by adding skip arrays, which behave similarly
to SAOP arrays, but generate their elements procedurally and on-demand.

Note that this commit isn't specifically concerned with skip arrays; the
scheduling logic doesn't (and won't) condition anything on whether the
scan uses skip arrays, SAOP arrays, or some combination of the two
(which seems like a good general principle for _bt_advance_array_keys).
While the problems that this commit ameliorates are more likely with
skip arrays (at least in practice), SAOP arrays (or those with very
dense, contiguous array elements) are also affected.

ce1a75c4fe Support buffer forwarding in StartReadBuffers().
StartReadBuffers() reports a short read when it finds a cached block
that ends a range needing I/O by updating the caller's *nblocks.  It
doesn't want to have to unpin the trailing hit that it knows the caller
wants, so the v17 version used sleight of hand in the name of
simplicity: it included it in *nblocks as if it were part of the I/O,
but internally tracked the shorter real I/O size in io_buffers_len (now
removed).

This API change "forwards" the delimiting buffer to the next call.  It's
still pinned, and still stored in the caller's array, but *nblocks no
longer includes stray buffers that are not really part of the operation.
The expectation is that the caller still wants the rest of the blocks
and will call again starting from that point, and now it can pass the
already pinned buffer back in (or choose not to and release it).

The change is needed for the coming asynchronous I/O version's larger
version of the problem: by definition it must move BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS
negotiation from WaitReadBuffers() to StartReadBuffers(), but it might
already have many buffers pinned before it discovers a need to split an
I/O.  (The current synchronous I/O version hides that detail from
callers by looping over smaller reads if required to make all covered
buffers valid in WaitReadBuffers(), so it looks like one operation but
it might occasionally be several under the covers.)

Aside from avoiding unnecessary pin traffic, this will also be important
for later work on out-of-order streams: you can't prioritize data that
is already available right now if that fact is hidden from you.

The new API is natural for read_stream.c (see ed0b87ca).  After a short
read it leaves forwarded buffers where they fell in its circular queue
for the continuing call to pick up.

Single-block StartReadBuffer() and traditional ReadBuffer() share code
but are not affected by the change.  They don't do multi-block I/O.

ed0b87caac Support buffer forwarding in read_stream.c.
In preparation for a follow-up change to the buffer manager, teach
read_stream.c to manage buffers "forwarded" from one StartReadBuffers()
call to the next after a short read.  This involves a small amount of
extra book-keeping, and opens the way for lower levels to split I/O
operations without having to drop pins, as required for efficient
handling of various edge cases.

Concretely, the "buffers" argument will change from an out parameter to
an in/out parameter.  Buffer queue elements must be initialized on first
use and cleared after they're consumed, but forwarded buffers are left
where they fall ahead of the current pending read in the queue, ready
for use by the operation that continues where a short read left off.
The stream also needs to count them for pin limit management and release
them on reset/early end.

202b12774d bufmgr: Improve stats when a buffer is read in concurrently
Previously we would have the following inaccuracies when a backend tried to
read in a buffer, but that buffer was read in concurrently by another backend:
- the read IO was double-counted in the global buffer access stats (pgBufferUsage)
- the buffer hit was not accounted for in:
  - global buffer access statistics
  - pg_stat_io
  - relation level IO stats
  - vacuum cost balancing

While trying to read in a buffer that is concurrently read in by another
backend is not a common occurrence, it's also not that rare, e.g. due to
concurrent sequential scans on the same relation.  This scenario has become
more likely in PG 17, due to the introducing of read streams, which can pin
multiple buffers before calling StartBufferIO() for all the buffers.

This behaviour has historically grown, but there doesn't seem to be any reason
to continue with the wrong accounting.

fc51a60dd4 smgr: Hold interrupts in most smgr functions
We need to hold interrupts across most of the smgr.c/md.c functions, as
otherwise interrupt processing, e.g. due to a < ERROR elog/ereport, can
trigger procsignal processing, which in turn can trigger smgrreleaseall(). As
the relevant code is not reentrant, we quickly end up in a bad situation.

The only reason we haven't noticed this before is that there is only one
non-error ereport called in affected routines, in register_dirty_segments(),
and that one is extremely rarely reached. If one enables fd.c's FDDEBUG it's
easy to reproduce crashes.

It seems better to put the HOLD_INTERRUPTS()/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() in smgr.c,
instead of trying to push them down to md.c where possible: For one, every
smgr implementation would be vulnerable, for another, a good bit of smgr.c
code itself is affected too.

Eventually we might want a more targeted solution, allowing e.g. a networked
smgr implementation to be interrupted, but many other, more complicated,
problems would need to be fixed for that to be viable (e.g. smgr.c is often
called with interrupts already held).

One could argue this should be backpatched, but the existing < ERROR
elog/ereports that can be reached with unmodified sources are unlikely to be
reached. On balance the risk of backpatching seems higher than the gain - at
least for now.

It is primarily intended to help users avoid locking issues on hot
standbys.  The setting can be overridden with the storage parameter
or VACUUM's TRUNCATE option.

Since there's presently no way to determine whether a Boolean
storage parameter is explicitly set or has just picked up the
default value, this commit also introduces an isset_offset member
to relopt_parse_elt.

618c64ffd3 Revert workarounds for -Wmissing-braces false positives on old GCC
We have collected several instances of a workaround for GCC bug 53119,
which caused false-positive compiler warnings.  This bug has long been
fixed, but was still seen on the buildfarm, most recently on lapwing
with gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5).  (The GCC bug tracker mentions that a fix
was backported to 4.7.4 and 4.8.3.)

That compiler no longer runs warning-free since commit 6fdd5d9563, so
we don't need to keep these workarounds.  And furthermore, the
consensus appears to be that we don't want to keep supporting that era
of platform anymore at all.

This reverts the following commits:

b449afb582

The comment explained that ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX is

reason is to keep upgrades robust, as explained there.  The other part
of the comment, that btree is the only unique index kind anyway, is
somewhat less true as we're trying to enable unique indexes other than
btree, and it's irrelevant to this check.  There is a check for
indisunique earlier already.  So just remove this part of the comment.

4f7f7b0375 extension_control_path
The new GUC extension_control_path specifies a path to look for
extension control files.  The default value is $system, which looks in
the compiled-in location, as before.

The path search uses the same code and works in the same way as
dynamic_library_path.

Some use cases of this are: (1) testing extensions during package
builds, (2) installing extensions outside security-restricted
containers like Python.app (on macOS), (3) adding extensions to
PostgreSQL running in a Kubernetes environment using operators such as
CloudNativePG without having to rebuild the base image for each new
extension.

There is also a tweak in Makefile.global so that it is possible to
install extensions using PGXS into an different directory than the
default, using 'make install prefix=/else/where'.  This previously
only worked when specifying the subdirectories, like 'make install
datadir=/else/where/share pkglibdir=/else/where/lib', for purely
implementation reasons.  (Of course, without the path feature,
installing elsewhere was rarely useful.)

28317de723 Ensure first ModifyTable rel initialized if all are pruned
Commit cbc127917e introduced tracking of unpruned relids to avoid
processing pruned relations, and changed ExecInitModifyTable() to
initialize only unpruned result relations. As a result, MERGE
statements that prune all target partitions can now lead to crashes
or incorrect behavior during execution.

The crash occurs because some executor code paths rely on
ModifyTableState.resultRelInfo[0] being present and initialized,
even when no result relations remain after pruning. For example,
ExecMerge() and ExecMergeNotMatched() use the first resultRelInfo
to determine the appropriate action. Similarly,
ExecInitPartitionInfo() assumes that at least one result relation
exists.

To preserve these assumptions, ExecInitModifyTable() now includes the
first result relation in the initialized result relation list if all
result relations for that ModifyTable were pruned. To enable that,
ExecDoInitialPruning() ensures the first relation is locked if it was
pruned and locking is necessary.

To support this exception to the pruning logic, PlannedStmt now
includes a list of RT indexes identifying the first result relation
of each ModifyTable node in the plan. This allows
ExecDoInitialPruning() to check whether each such relation was
pruned and, if so, lock it if necessary.

06fb5612c9 Increase io_combine_limit range to 1MB.
The default of 128kB is unchanged, but the upper limit is changed from
32 blocks to 128 blocks, unless the operating system's IOV_MAX is too
low.  Some other RDBMSes seem to cap their multi-block buffer pool I/O
around this number, and it seems useful to allow experimentation.

The concrete change is to our definition of PG_IOV_MAX, which provides
the maximum for io_combine_limit and io_max_combine_limit.  It also
affects a couple of other places that work with arrays of struct iovec
or smaller objects on the stack, so we still don't want to use the
system IOV_MAX directly without a clamp: it is not under our control and
likely to be 1024.  128 seems acceptable for our current usage.

For Windows, we can't use real scatter/gather yet, so we continue to
define our own IOV_MAX value of 16 and emulate preadv()/pwritev() with
loops.  Someone would need to research the trade-offs of raising that
number.

NB if trying to see this working: you might temporarily need to hack
BAS_BULKREAD to be bigger, since otherwise the obvious way of "a very
big SELECT" is limited by that for now.

10f6646847 Introduce io_max_combine_limit.
The existing io_combine_limit can be changed by users.  The new
io_max_combine_limit is fixed at server startup time, and functions as a
silent clamp on the user setting.  That in itself is probably quite
useful, but the primary motivation is:

aio_init.c allocates shared memory for all asynchronous IOs including
some per-block data, and we didn't want to waste memory you'd never used
by assuming they could be up to PG_IOV_MAX.  This commit already halves
the size of 'AioHandleIov' and 'AioHandleData'.  A follow-up commit can
now expand PG_IOV_MAX without affecting that.

Since our GUC system doesn't support dependencies or cross-checks
between GUCs, the user-settable one now assigns a "raw" value to
io_combine_limit_guc, and the lower of io_combine_limit_guc and
io_max_combine_limit is maintained in io_combine_limit.

17d8bba6da Fix copy-paste error related to the autovacuum launcher in pgstat_io.c
Autovacuum launchers perform no WAL IO reads, but pgstat_tracks_io_op()
was tracking them as an allowed combination for the "init" and "normal"
contexts.

This caused the "read", "read_bytes" and "read_time" attributes of
pg_stat_io to show zeros for the autovacuum launcher rather than NULL.
NULL means that a combination of IO object, IO context and IO operation
has no meaning for a backend type.  Zero is the same as telling that a
combination is relevant, and that WAL reads are possible in an
autovacuum launcher, but it is not relevant.

Introduce squashing of constant lists in query jumbling
pg_stat_statements produces multiple entries for queries like
    SELECT something FROM table WHERE col IN (1, 2, 3, ...)

depending on the number of parameters, because every element of
ArrayExpr is individually jumbled.  Most of the time that's undesirable,
especially if the list becomes too large.

Fix this by introducing a new GUC query_id_squash_values which modifies
the node jumbling code to only consider the first and last element of a
list of constants, rather than each list element individually.  This
affects both the query_id generated by query jumbling, as well as
pg_stat_statements query normalization so that it suppresses printing of
the individual elements of such a list.

The default value is off, meaning the previous behavior is maintained.

247ce06b88 aio: Add io_method=worker
The previous commit introduced the infrastructure to start io_workers. This
commit actually makes the workers execute IOs.

IO workers consume IOs from a shared memory submission queue, run traditional
synchronous system calls, and perform the shared completion handling
immediately.  Client code submits most requests by pushing IOs into the
submission queue, and waits (if necessary) using condition variables.  Some
IOs cannot be performed in another process due to lack of infrastructure for
reopening the file, and must processed synchronously by the client code when
submitted.

For now the default io_method is changed to "worker". We should re-evaluate
that around beta1, we might want to be careful and set the default to "sync"
for 18.

55b454d0e1 aio: Infrastructure for io_method=worker
This commit contains the basic, system-wide, infrastructure for
io_method=worker. It does not yet actually execute IO, this commit just
provides the infrastructure for running IO workers, kept separate for easier
review.

The number of IO workers can be adjusted with a PGC_SIGHUP GUC. Eventually
we'd like to make the number of workers dynamically scale up/down based on the
current "IO load".

To allow the number of IO workers to be increased without a restart, we need
to reserve PGPROC entries for the workers unconditionally. This has been
judged to be worth the cost. If it turns out to be problematic, we can
introduce a PGC_POSTMASTER GUC to control the maximum number.

As io workers might be needed during shutdown, e.g. for AIO during the
shutdown checkpoint, a new PMState phase is added. IO workers are shut down
after the shutdown checkpoint has been performed and walsender/archiver have
shut down, but before the checkpointer itself shuts down. See also
87a6690cc6.

4fd02bf7cf Add some new hooks so extensions can add details to EXPLAIN.
Specifically, add a per-node hook that is called after the per-node
information has been displayed but before we display children, and a
per-query hook that is called after existing query-level information
is printed. This assumes that extension-added information should
always go at the end rather than the beginning or the middle, but
that seems like an acceptable limitation for simplicity. It also
assumes that extensions will only want to add information, not remove
or reformat existing details; those also seem like acceptable
restrictions, at least for now.

If multiple EXPLAIN extensions are used, the order in which any
additional details are printed is likely to depend on the order in
which the modules are loaded. That seems OK, since the user may
have opinions about the order in which output should appear, and the
extension author can't really know whether their stuff is more or
less important to a particular user than some other extension.

cc6be07ebd Increase default maintenance_io_concurrency to 16
Since its introduction in fc34b0d9de, the default
maintenance_io_concurrency has been larger than the default
effective_io_concurrency. maintenance_io_concurrency primarily
controlled prefetching done on behalf of the whole system, for
operations like recovery. Therefore it makes sense for it to have a
value equal to or greater than effective_io_concurrency, which controls
I/O concurrency for reading a relation in a bitmap heap scan.

ff79b5b2ab increased effective_io_concurrency to 16, so we'll increase
maintenance_io_concurrency as well. For now, though, we'll keep the
defaults of effective_io_concurrency and maintenance_io_concurrency
equal to one another (16).

On fast, high IOPs systems, significantly higher values of
maintenance_io_concurrency are observably beneficial [1]. However, such
values would flood low IOPs systems and increase overall system I/O
latency.

It is worth mentioning that since 9256822608 and c3e775e608,
maintenance_io_concurrency also controls the I/O concurrency of each
vacuum worker. Since many autovacuum workers may be simultaneously
issuing I/Os, we want to keep maintenance_io_concurrency appropriately
conservative.

da7226993f aio: Add core asynchronous I/O infrastructure
The main motivations to use AIO in PostgreSQL are:

a) Reduce the time spent waiting for IO by issuing IO sufficiently early.

   In a few places we have approximated this using posix_fadvise() based
   prefetching, but that is fairly limited (no completion feedback, double the
   syscalls, only works with buffered IO, only works on some OSs).

b) Allow to use Direct-I/O (DIO).

   DIO can offload most of the work for IO to hardware and thus increase
   throughput / decrease CPU utilization, as well as reduce latency.  While we
   have gained the ability to configure DIO in d4e71df6, it is not yet usable
   for real world workloads, as every IO is executed synchronously.

For portability, the new AIO infrastructure allows to implement AIO using
different methods. The choice of the AIO method is controlled by the new
io_method GUC. As of this commit, the only implemented method is "sync",
i.e. AIO is not actually executed asynchronously. The "sync" method exists to
allow to bypass most of the new code initially.

Subsequent commits will introduce additional IO methods, including a
cross-platform method implemented using worker processes and a linux specific
method using io_uring.

To allow different parts of postgres to use AIO, the core AIO infrastructure
does not need to know what kind of files it is operating on. The necessary
behavioral differences for different files are abstracted as "AIO
Targets". One example target would be smgr. For boring portability reasons,
all targets currently need to be added to an array in aio_target.c.  This
commit does not implement any AIO targets, just the infrastructure for
them. The smgr target will be added in a later commit.

Completion (and other events) of IOs for one type of file (i.e. one AIO
target) need to be reacted to differently, based on the IO operation and the
callsite. This is made possible by callbacks that can be registered on
IOs. E.g. an smgr read into a local buffer does not need to update the
corresponding BufferDesc (as there is none), but a read into shared buffers
does.  This commit does not contain any callbacks, they will be added in
subsequent commits.

For now the AIO infrastructure only understands READV and WRITEV operations,
but it is expected that more operations will be added. E.g. fsync/fdatasync,
flush_range and network operations like send/recv.

As of this commit, nothing uses the AIO infrastructure. Later commits will add
an smgr target, md.c and bufmgr.c callbacks and then finally use AIO for
read_stream.c IO, which, in one fell swoop, will convert all read stream users
to AIO.

The goal is to use AIO in many more places. There are patches to use AIO for
checkpointer and bgwriter that are reasonably close to being ready. There also
are prototypes to use it for WAL, relation extension, backend writes and many
more. Those prototypes were important to ensure the design of the AIO
subsystem is not too limiting (e.g. WAL writes need to happen in critical
sections, which influenced a lot of the design).

A future commit will add an AIO README explaining the AIO architecture and how
to use the AIO subsystem. The README is added later, as it references details
only added in later commits.

Many many more people than the folks named below have contributed with
feedback, work on semi-independent patches etc. E.g. various folks have
contributed patches to use the read stream infrastructure (added by Thomas in
b5a9b18cd0) in more places. Similarly, a *lot* of folks have contributed to
the CI infrastructure, which I had started to work on to make adding AIO
feasible.

Some of the work by contributors has gone into the "v1" prototype of AIO,
which heavily influenced the current design of the AIO subsystem. None of the
code from that directly survives, but without the prototype, the current
version of the AIO infrastructure would not exist.

Similarly, the reviewers below have not necessarily looked at the current
design or the whole infrastructure, but have provided very valuable input. I
am to blame for problems, not they.

02844012b3 aio: Basic subsystem initialization
This commit just does the minimal wiring up of the AIO subsystem, added in the

This commit is kept separate to make it easier to review, separating the

5721e5453e Revert "Add redo LSN to pgstats files"
This reverts commit b860848232, that was added as a prerequisite for
the support of pgstats data flush across checkpoints, linking a pgstats
file to a specific checkpoint redo LSN.

As reported, this is proving to be currently problematic when going
through a pg_upgrade, that does direct manipulations of the control file
in the new cluster.  The LSN stored in the pgstats file is not able to
cope with any changes done in the control file by pg_upgrade yet,
causing the pgstats file to be discarded when starting the new cluster
after overriding its redo LSN (one is a `pg_resetwal -l` where the new
cluster's start LSN is bumped by a hardcoded value of 8 segments, see
copy_xact_xlog_xid).

The least painful path going forward is likely going to be a refactor of
the pgstats code so as it is possible to read and write some of its data
with some routines in src/common/, so as pg_upgrade or pg_resetwal are
able to update its data.  The main point is that we are going to need a
LSN in the stats file should we make it written at checkpoint time and
not only as part of a shutdown sequence.  It is too late to dive into
these details for v18, so let's revert the change, and let's try to
figure out all the details in the next release cycle.  The pgstats file
is currently only written as part of a shutdown sequence, and its
contents are still lost on crash, same as older releases.

Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.

771ba90298 localbuf: Introduce StartLocalBufferIO()
To initiate IO on a shared buffer we have StartBufferIO(). For temporary table
buffers no similar function exists - likely because the code for that
currently is very simple due to the lack of concurrency.

However, the upcoming AIO support will make it possible to re-encounter a
local buffer, while the buffer already is the target of IO. In that case we
need to wait for already in-progress IO to complete. This commit makes it
easier to add the necessary code, by introducing StartLocalBufferIO().

fa6af9b25e localbuf: Fix dangerous coding pattern in GetLocalVictimBuffer()
If PinLocalBuffer() were to modify the buf_state, the buf_state in
GetLocalVictimBuffer() would be out of date. Currently that does not happen,
as PinLocalBuffer() only modifies the buf_state if adjust_usagecount=true and
GetLocalVictimBuffer() passes false.

However, it's easy to make this not the case anymore - it cost me a few hours
to debug the consequences.

The minimal fix would be to just refetch the buf_state after after calling
PinLocalBuffer(), but the same danger exists in later parts of the
function. Instead, declare buf_state in the narrower scopes and re-read the
state in conditional branches.  Besides being safer, it also fits well with
an upcoming set of cleanup patches that move the contents of the conditional
branches in GetLocalVictimBuffer() into helper functions.

I "broke" this in 794f259447.

Arguably this should be backpatched, but as the relevant functions are not
exported and there is no actual misbehaviour, I chose to not backpatch, at
least for now.

799959dc7c Simplify distance heuristics in read_stream.c.
Make the distance control heuristics simpler and more aggressive in
preparation for asynchronous I/O.

The v17 version of read_stream.c made a conservative choice to limit the
look-ahead distance when streaming sequential blocks, because it
couldn't benefit very much from looking ahead further yet.  It had a
three-behavior model where only random I/O would rapidly increase the
look-ahead distance, to support read-ahead advice.  Sequential I/O would
move it towards the io_combine_limit setting, just enough to build one
full-sized synchronous I/O at a time, and then expect kernel read-ahead
to avoid I/O stalls.

That already left I/O performance on the table with advice-based I/O
concurrency, since sequential blocks could be followed by random jumps,
eg with the proposed streaming Bitmap Heap Scan patch.

It is time to delete the cautious middle option and adjust the distance
based on recent I/O needs only, since asynchronous reads will need to be
started ahead of time whether random or sequential.  It is still limited
by io_combine_limit, *_io_concurrency, buffer availability and
strategy ring size, as before.

7ea8cd1566 Improve read_stream.c advice for dense streams.
read_stream.c tries not to issue read-ahead advice when it thinks the
kernel's own read-ahead should be active, ie when using buffered I/O and
reading sequential blocks.  It previously gave up too easily, and issued
advice only for the first read of up to io_combine_limit blocks in a
larger range of sequential blocks after random jump.  The following read
could suffer an avoidable I/O stall.

Fix, by continuing to issue advice until the corresponding preadv()
calls catch up with the start of the region we're currently issuing
advice for, if ever.  That's when the kernel actually sees the
sequential pattern.  Advice is now disabled only when the stream is
entirely sequential as far as we can see in the look-ahead window, or
in other words, when a sequential region is larger than we can cover
with the current io_concurrency and io_combine_limit settings.

While refactoring the advice control logic, also get rid of the
"suppress_advice" argument that was passed around between functions to
skip useless posix_fadvise() calls immediately followed by preadv().
read_stream_start_pending_read() can figure that out, so let's
concentrate knowledge of advice heuristics in fewer places (our goal
being to make advice-based I/O concurrency a legacy mode soon).

The problem cases were revealed by Tomas Vondra's extensive regression
testing with many different disk access patterns using Melanie
Plageman's streaming Bitmap Heap Scan patch, in a battle against the
venerable always-issue-advice-and-always-one-block-at-a-time code.

6d376c3b0d Add GUC option to log lock acquisition failures.
This commit introduces a new GUC, log_lock_failure, which controls whether
a detailed log message is produced when a lock acquisition fails. Currently,
it only supports logging lock failures caused by SELECT ... NOWAIT.

The log message includes information about all processes holding or
waiting for the lock that couldn't be acquired, helping users analyze and
diagnose the causes of lock failures.

Currently, this option does not log failures from SELECT ... SKIP LOCKED,
as that could generate excessive log messages if many locks are skipped,
causing unnecessary noise.

This mechanism can be extended in the future to support for logging
lock failures from other commands, such as LOCK TABLE ... NOWAIT.

optimizes the process by calculating the group once and reusing it
throughout the loop.

The functions also now skip empty fast-path groups, avoiding
unnecessary scans of their slots. Additionally, groups belonging to
inactive backends (with pid=0) are always empty, so checking
the group is sufficient to bypass these backends, further enhancing
performance.

(This could arguably be simplfied further by having the callers fill
in ssup_reverse directly.  But this way, it preserves consistency by
having all PrepareSortSupport*() variants be responsible for filling
in ssup_reverse.)

Moreover, remove the hardcoded check against BTREE_AM_OID, and check
against amcanorder instead, which is the actual requirement.

92fc6856cb Respect changing pin limits in read_stream.c.
To avoid pinning too much of the buffer pool at once, read_stream.c
previously used LimitAdditionalPins().  The coding was naive, and only
considered the available buffers at stream construction time.

This commit checks before each StartReadBuffers() call with
GetAdditionalPinLimit().  The result might change over time due to pins
acquired outside this stream by the same backend.  No extra CPU cycles
are added to the all-buffered fast-path code, but the I/O-starting path
now considers the up-to-date remaining buffer limit.

In practice it was quite difficult to exceed limits and cause any real
problems in v17, so no back-patch for now, but proposed changes will
make it easier.

01261fb078 Improve buffer manager API for backend pin limits.
Previously the support functions assumed that the caller needed one pin
to make progress, and could optionally use some more, allowing enough
for every connection to do the same.  Add a couple more functions for
callers that want to know:

* what the maximum possible number could be, irrespective of currently
  held pins, for space planning purposes

* how many additional pins they could acquire right now, without the
  special case allowing one pin, for callers that already hold pins and
  could already make progress even if no extra pins are available

The pin limit logic began in commit 31966b15.  This refactoring is
better suited to read_stream.c, which will be adjusted to respect the
remaining limit as it changes over time in a follow-up commit.  It also
computes MaxProportionalPins up front, to avoid performing divisions
whenever a caller needs to check the balance.

The problem is that ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION ... will lead
to restarting of apply worker and after the restart, the apply worker will
use the existing slot and replication origin corresponding to the
subscription. Now, it is possible that before the restart, the origin has
not been updated, and the WAL start location points to a location before
where PUBLICATION pointed to by SET PUBLICATION doesn't exist, and that
can lead to an error like: "ERROR:  publication "pub1" does not exist".
Once this error occurs, apply worker will never be able to proceed and
will always return the same error.

We decided to skip loading the publication if the publication does not
exist. The publication is loaded later and updates the relation entry when
the publication gets created.

We decided not to backpatch this as this is a behaviour change, and we don't
see field reports. This problem has been found by intermittent buildfarm
failures.

4618045bee Fix ARRAY_SUBLINK and ARRAY[] for int2vector and oidvector input.
If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type.  However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID.  That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.

Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless.  (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.)  This restores the behavior
that existed before bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].

Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector.  I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results.  Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries.  (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

3691edfab9 pg_noreturn to replace pg_attribute_noreturn()
We want to support a "noreturn" decoration on more compilers besides
just GCC-compatible ones, but for that we need to move the decoration
in front of the function declaration instead of either behind it or
wherever, which is the current style afforded by GCC-style attributes.
Also rename the macro to "pg_noreturn" to be similar to the C11
standard "noreturn".

pg_noreturn is now supported on all compilers that support C11 (using
_Noreturn), as well as GCC-compatible ones (using __attribute__, as
before), as well as MSVC (using __declspec).  (When PostgreSQL
requires C11, the latter two variants can be dropped.)

Now, all supported compilers effectively support pg_noreturn, so the
extra code for !HAVE_PG_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN can be dropped.

This also fixes a possible problem if third-party code includes
stdnoreturn.h, because then the current definition of

    #define pg_attribute_noreturn() __attribute__((noreturn))

would cause an error.

Note that the C standard does not support a noreturn attribute on
function pointer types.  So we have to drop these here.  There are
only two instances at this time, so it's not a big loss.  In one case,
we can make up for it by adding the pg_noreturn to a wrapper function
and adding a pg_unreachable(), in the other case, the latter was
already done before.

cc5d98525d Fix incorrect handling of subquery pullup
When pulling up a subquery, if the subquery's target list items are
used in grouping set columns, we need to wrap them in PlaceHolderVars.
This ensures that expressions retain their separate identity so that
they will match grouping set columns when appropriate.

In 90947674f, we decided to wrap subquery outputs that are non-var
expressions in PlaceHolderVars.  This prevents const-simplification
from merging them into the surrounding expressions after subquery
pullup, which could otherwise lead to failing to match those
subexpressions to grouping set columns, with the effect that they'd
not go to null when expected.

However, that left some loose ends.  If the subquery's target list
contains two or more identical Var expressions, we can still fail to
match the Var expression to the expected grouping set expression.
This is not related to const-simplification, but rather to how we
match expressions to lower target items in setrefs.c.

For sort/group expressions, we use ressortgroupref matching, which
works well.  For other expressions, we primarily rely on comparing the
expressions to determine if they are the same.  Therefore, we need a
way to prevent setrefs.c from matching the expression to some other
identical ones.

To fix, wrap all subquery outputs in PlaceHolderVars if the parent
query uses grouping sets, ensuring that they preserve their separate
identity throughout the whole planning process.

4c49611715 Remove code setting wrap_non_vars to true for UNION ALL subqueries
In pull_up_simple_subquery and pull_up_constant_function, there is
code that sets wrap_non_vars to true when dealing with an appendrel
member.  The goal is to wrap subquery outputs that are not simple Vars
in PlaceHolderVars, ensuring that what we pull up doesn't get merged
into a surrounding expression during later processing, which could
cause it to fail to match the expression actually available from the
appendrel.

However, this is unnecessary.  When pulling up an appendrel child
subquery, the only part of the upper query that could reference the
appendrel child yet is the translated_vars list of the associated
AppendRelInfo that we just made for this child.  Furthermore, we do
not want to force use of PHVs in the AppendRelInfo, as there is no
outer join between.  In fact, perform_pullup_replace_vars always sets
wrap_non_vars to false before performing pullup_replace_vars on the
AppendRelInfo.

This patch simply removes the code that sets wrap_non_vars to true for
UNION ALL subqueries.

As part of this patch, we introduce a new invalidation message to

75da2bece6 Fix read_stream.c for changing io_combine_limit.
In a couple of places, read_stream.c assumed that io_combine_limit would
be stable during the lifetime of a stream.  That is not true in at least
one unusual case: streams held by CURSORs where you could change the GUC
between FETCH commands, with unpredictable results.

Fix, by storing stream->io_combine_limit and referring only to that
after construction.  This mirrors the treatment of the other important
setting {effective,maintenance}_io_concurrency, which is stored in
stream->max_ios.

One of the cases was the queue overflow space, which was sized for
io_combine_limit and could be overrun if the GUC was increased.  Since
that coding was a little hard to follow, also introduce a variable for
better readability instead of open-coding the arithmetic.  Doing so
revealed an off-by-one thinko while clamping max_pinned_buffers to
INT16_MAX, though that wasn't a live bug due to the current limits on
GUC values.

Back-patch to 17.

where 'happy'::mood is implicitly cast to json. The missing check

ff79b5b2ab Increase default effective_io_concurrency to 16
The default effective_io_concurrency has been 1 since it was introduced
in b7b8f0b609. Referencing the associated discussion [1], it
seems 1 was chosen as a conservative value that seemed unlikely to cause
regressions.

Experimentation on high latency cloud storage as well as fast, local
nvme storage (see Discussion link) shows that even slightly higher
values improve query timings substantially. 1 actually performs worse
than 0 [2]. With effective_io_concurrency 1, we are not prefetching
enough to avoid I/O stalls, but we are issuing extra syscalls.

The new default is 16, which should be more appropriate for common
hardware while still avoiding flooding low IOPs devices with I/O
requests.

f4e7756ef9 Build whole-row Vars the same way during parsing and planning.
makeWholeRowVar() has different rules for constructing a
whole-row Var depending on the kind of RTE it's representing.
This turns out to be problematic because the rewriter and planner
can convert view RTEs and set-returning-function RTEs into
subquery RTEs; so a whole-row Var made during planning might
look different from one made by the parser.  In isolation this
doesn't cause any problem, but if a query contains Vars made
both ways for the same varno, there are cross-checks in the
executor that will complain.  This manifests for UPDATE, DELETE,
and MERGE queries that use whole-row table references.

To fix, we need makeWholeRowVar() to produce the same result
from an inlined RTE as it would have for the original.  For
an inlined view, we can use RangeTblEntry.relid to detect
that this had been a view RTE.  For inlined SRFs, make a
data structure definition change akin to commit 47bb9db75,
and say that we won't clear RangeTblEntry.functions until
the end of planning.  That allows makeWholeRowVar() to
repeat what it would have done with the unmodified RTE.

8076c00592 Assert that a snapshot is active or registered before it's used
The comment in GetTransactionSnapshot() said that you "should call
RegisterSnapshot or PushActiveSnapshot on the returned snap if it is
to be used very long". That felt too unclear to me. Make the comment
more strongly worded.

To enforce that rule and to catch potential bugs where a snapshot
might get invalidated while it's still in use, add an assertion to
HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC() to check that the snapshot is registered or
pushed to active stack. No new bugs were found by this, but it seems
like good future-proofing. It's not a great place for the check;
HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC() is in fact safe to call with an unregistered
snapshot, and the assertion won't catch other unsafe uses. But it goes
a long way in practice.

Fix a few cases that were playing fast and loose with that and just
assumed that the snapshot cannot be invalidated during a scan. Those
assumptions were not wrong, but they're not performance critical, so
let's drop the excuses and just register the snapshot. These were
false positives found by the new assertion.

0fbceae841 Show index search count in EXPLAIN ANALYZE, take 2.
Expose the count of index searches/index descents in EXPLAIN ANALYZE's
output for index scan/index-only scan/bitmap index scan nodes.  This
information is particularly useful with scans that use ScalarArrayOp
quals, where the number of index searches can be unpredictable due to
implementation details that interact with physical index characteristics
(at least with nbtree SAOP scans, since Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8).
The information shown also provides useful context when EXPLAIN ANALYZE
runs a plan with an index scan node that successfully applied the skip
scan optimization (set to be added to nbtree by an upcoming patch).

The instrumentation works by teaching all index AMs to increment a new
nsearches counter whenever a new index search begins.  The counter is
incremented at exactly the same point that index AMs already increment
the pg_stat_*_indexes.idx_scan counter (we're counting the same event,
but at the scan level rather than the relation level).  Parallel queries
have workers copy their local counter struct into shared memory when an
index scan node ends -- even when it isn't a parallel aware scan node.
An earlier version of this patch that only worked with parallel aware
scans became commit 5ead85fb (though that was quickly reverted by commit
d00107cd following "debug_parallel_query=regress" buildfarm failures).

Our approach doesn't match the approach used when tracking other index
scan related costs (e.g., "Rows Removed by Filter:").  It is comparable
to the approach used in similar cases involving costs that are only
readily accessible inside an access method, not from the executor proper
(e.g., "Heap Blocks:" output for a Bitmap Heap Scan, which was recently
enhanced to show per-worker costs by commit 5a1e6df3, using essentially
the same scheme as the one used here).  It is necessary for index AMs to
have direct responsibility for maintaining the new counter, since the
counter might need to be incremented multiple times per amgettuple call
(or per amgetbitmap call).  But it is also necessary for the executor
proper to manage the shared memory now used to transfer each worker's
counter struct to the leader.

of the execution, rather than the returnvalue, is important for being
able generate more efficient JITed code. This replaces EEOP_DONE with
two new steps: EEOP_DONE_RETURN and EEOP_DONE_NO_RETURN.  Expressions
which return a value should use the former step; expressions used for
their side-effects which don't return value should use the latter.

dabccf4513 Move RemoveInheritedConstraint() call slightly earlier
This change is harmless and does not affect the existing intended
operation.  It is necessary for a subsequent patch operation (NOT
ENFORCED foreign keys), where we may need to change the child
constraint to enforced.  In this case, we would create the necessary
triggers and queue the constraint for validation, so it is important
to remove any unnecessary constraints before proceeding.

This is a small change that could have been included in the previous
"split tryAttachPartitionForeignKey" refactoring patch (commit
1d26c2d2c4), but was kept separate to highlight the changes.

76def4cdd7 Add WAL data to backend statistics
This commit adds per-backend WAL statistics, providing the same
information as pg_stat_wal, except that it is now possible to know how
much WAL activity is happening in each backend rather than an overall
aggregate of all the activity.  Like pg_stat_wal, the implementation
relies on pgWalUsage, tracking the difference of activity between two
reports to pgstats.

This data can be retrieved with a new system function called
pg_stat_get_backend_wal(), that returns one tuple based on the PID
provided in input.  Like pg_stat_get_backend_io(), this is useful when
joined with pg_stat_activity to get a live picture of the WAL generated
for each running backend, showing how the activity is [un]balanced.

pgstat_flush_backend() gains a new flag value, able to control the flush
of the WAL stats.

This commit relies mostly on the infrastructure provided by
9aea73fc61, that has introduced backend statistics.

Bump catalog version.  A bump of PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID is not required,
as backend stats do not persist on disk.

29d6808ede CREATE INDEX: do update index stats if autovacuum=off.
This fixes a thinko from commit d611f8b15.  The intent was to prevent
updating the stats of the pre-existing heap if autovacuum is off,
but it also disabled updating the stats of the just-created index.
There is AFAICS no good reason to do the latter, since there could not
be any pre-existing stats to refrain from overwriting, and the zeroed
stats that are there to begin with are very unlikely to be useful.
Moreover, the change broke our cross-version upgrade tests again.

2367503177 Fix snapshot used in logical replication index lookup
The function calls GetLatestSnapshot() to acquire a fresh snapshot,
makes it active, and was meant to pass it to table_tuple_lock(), but
instead called GetLatestSnapshot() again to acquire yet another
snapshot. It was harmless because the heap AM and all other known
table AMs ignore the 'snapshot' argument anyway, but let's be tidy.

In the long run, this perhaps should be redesigned so that snapshot
was not needed in the first place. The table AM API uses TID +
snapshot as the unique identifier for the row version, which is
questionable when the row came from an index scan with a Dirty
snapshot. You might lock a different row version when you use a
different snapshot in the table_tuple_lock() call (a fresh MVCC
snapshot) than in the index scan (DirtySnapshot). However, in the heap
AM and other AMs where the TID alone identifies the row version, it
doesn't matter. So for now, just fix the obvious albeit harmless bug.

This has been wrong ever since the table AM API was introduced in
commit 5db6df0c01, so backpatch to all supported versions.

6bb6a62f3c Use extended stats for precise estimation of bucket size in hash join
Recognizing the real-life complexity where columns in the table often have
functional dependencies, PostgreSQL's estimation of the number of distinct
values over a set of columns can be underestimated (or much rarely,
overestimated) when dealing with multi-clause JOIN.  In the case of hash
join, it can end up with a small number of predicted hash  buckets and, as
a result, picking non-optimal merge join.

To improve the situation, we introduce one additional stage of bucket size
estimation - having two or more join clauses estimator lookup for extended
statistics and use it for multicolumn estimation.  Clauses are grouped into
lists, each containing expressions referencing the same relation.  The result
of the multicolumn estimation made over such a list is combined with others
according to the caller's logic.  Clauses that are not estimated are returned
to the caller for further estimation.

fae535da0a Teach Append to consider tuple_fraction when accumulating subpaths.
This change is dedicated to more active usage of IndexScan and parameterized
NestLoop paths in partitioned cases under an Append node, as it already works
with plain tables.  As newly added regression tests demonstrate, it should
provide more smartness to the partitionwise technique.

With an indication of how many tuples are needed, it may be more meaningful
to use the 'fractional branch' subpaths of the Append path list, which are
more optimal for this specific number of tuples.  Planning on a higher level,
if the optimizer needs all the tuples, it will choose non-fractional paths.
In the case when, during execution, Append needs to return fewer tuples than
declared by tuple_fraction, it would not be harmful to use the 'intermediate'
variant of paths.  However, it will earn a considerable profit if a sensible
set of tuples is selected.

The change of the existing regression test demonstrates the positive outcome
of this feature: instead of scanning the whole table, the optimizer prefers
to use a parameterized scan, being aware of the only single tuple the join
has to produce to perform the query.

array_agg_deserialize has no convenient way to get that information.
The result is an "input of anonymous composite types is not

We could probably make this work if we had to, but it does not seem
worth the trouble, given that it took this long to get a field report.

9a8dd2c5a6 Improve check for detection of pending data in backend statistics
The callback pgstat_backend_have_pending_cb() is used as a way for
pg_stat_report() to detect if there is any pending data for backend
statistics.

It did not include a check based on pgstat_tracks_backend_bktype(), that
discards processes whose backend types do not support backend
statistics.  The logic is not a problem on HEAD, as processes that do
not support backend statistics cannot touch PendingBackendStats, so the
callback would always report that there is no pending data in this case.
However, we would run into trouble once backend statistics include
portions of pending stats that are not always zeroed, like pgWalUsage.

There is no reason for pgstat_backend_have_pending_cb() to not check
for pgstat_tracks_backend_bktype(), anyway, and this pattern is safer in
the long run, so let's update the code to do so.

While on it, this commit adds a proper initialization to
PendingBackendStats.

Fix by not opportunistically updating table stats during CREATE INDEX

needs to be aware that it should not take every opportunity to update
stats. Per discussion, autovacuum=off is a signal that the user
expects stats to be stable; though if necessary, we could create

0f21db36d6 Fix some performance issues in GIN query startup.
If a GIN index search had a lot of search keys (for example,
"jsonbcol ?| array[]" with tens of thousands of array elements),
both ginFillScanKey() and startScanKey() took O(N^2) time.
Worse, those loops were uncancelable for lack of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS.

The problem in ginFillScanKey() is the brute-force search key
de-duplication done in ginFillScanEntry().  The most expedient
solution seems to be to just stop trying to de-duplicate once
there are "too many" search keys.  We could imagine working harder,
say by using a sort-and-unique algorithm instead of brute force
compare-all-the-keys.  But it seems unlikely to be worth the trouble.
There is no correctness issue here, since the code already allowed
duplicate keys if any extra_data is present.

The problem in startScanKey() is the loop that attempts to identify
the first non-required search key.  In the submitted test case, that
vainly tests all the key positions, and each iteration takes O(N)
time.  One part of that is that it's reinitializing the entryRes[]
array from scratch each time, which is entirely unnecessary given
that the triConsistentFn isn't supposed to scribble on its input.
We can easily adjust the array contents incrementally instead.
The other part of it is that the triConsistentFn may itself take
O(N) time (and does in this test case).  This is all extremely
brute force: in simple cases with AND or OR semantics, we could
know without any looping whatever that all or none of the keys
are required.  But GIN opclasses don't have any API for exposing
that knowledge, so at least in the short run there is little to
be done about that.  Put in a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS so that at
least the loop is cancelable.

These two changes together resolve the primary complaint that
the test query doesn't respond promptly to cancel interrupts.
Also, while they don't completely eliminate the O(N^2) behavior,
they do provide quite a nice speedup for mid-sized examples.

7f7f324eb5 Add more monitoring data for WAL writes in the WAL receiver
This commit adds two improvements related to the monitoring of WAL
writes for the WAL receiver.

First, write counts and timings are now counted in pg_stat_io for the
WAL receiver.  These have been discarded from pg_stat_wal in
ff99918c62 due to performance concerns, related to the fact that we
still relied on an on-disk file for the stats back then, even with
track_wal_io_timing to avoid the overhead of the timestamp calculations.
This implementation is simpler than the original proposal as it is
possible to rely on the APIs of pgstat_io.c to do the job.  Like the
fsync and read data, track_wal_io_timing needs to be enabled to track
the timings.

Second, a wait event is added around the pg_pwrite() call in charge of
the writes, using the exiting WAIT_EVENT_WAL_WRITE.  This is useful as
the WAL receiver data is tracked in pg_stat_activity.

5ead85fbc8 Show index search count in EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
Expose the count of index searches/index descents in EXPLAIN ANALYZE's
output for index scan nodes.  This information is particularly useful
with scans that use ScalarArrayOp quals, where the number of index scans
isn't predictable in advance (at least not with optimizations like the
one added to nbtree by Postgres 17 commit 5bf748b8).  It will also be
useful when EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows details of an nbtree index scan that
uses skip scan optimizations set to be introduced by an upcoming patch.

The instrumentation works by teaching index AMs to increment a new
nsearches counter whenever a new index search begins.  The counter is
incremented at exactly the same point that index AMs must already
increment the index's pg_stat_*_indexes.idx_scan counter (we're counting
the same event, but at the scan level rather than the relation level).
The new counter is stored in the scan descriptor (IndexScanDescData),
which explain.c reaches by going through the scan node's PlanState.

This approach doesn't match the approach used when tracking other index
scan specific costs (e.g., "Rows Removed by Filter:").  It is similar to
the approach used in other cases where we must track costs that are only
readily accessible inside an access method, and not from the executor
(e.g., "Heap Blocks:" output for a Bitmap Heap Scan).  It is inherently
necessary to maintain a counter that can be incremented multiple times
during a single amgettuple call (or amgetbitmap call), and directly
exposing PlanState.instrument to index access methods seems unappealing.

635f580120 Rename some signal and interrupt handling functions for consistency
The usual pattern for handling a signal is that the signal handler
sets a flag and calls SetLatch(MyLatch), and CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() or
other code that is part of a wait loop calls another function to deal
with it. The naming of the functions involved was a bit inconsistent,
however. CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls ProcessInterrupts() to do the
heavy-lifting, but the analogous functions in aux processes were
called HandleMainLoopInterrupts(), HandleStartupProcInterrupts(),
etc. Similarly, most subroutines of ProcessInterrupts() were called
Process*(), but some were called Handle*().

To make things less confusing, rename all the functions that are part
of the overall signal/interrupt handling system but are not executed
in a signal handler to e.g. ProcessSomething(), rather than
HandleSomething(). The "Process" prefix is now consistently used in
the non-signal-handler functions, and the "Handle" prefix in functions
that are part of signal handlers, except for some completely unrelated
functions that clearly have nothing to do with signal or interrupt
handling.

f4694e0f35 Fix some gaps in pg_stat_io with WAL receiver and WAL summarizer
The WAL receiver and WAL summarizer processes gain each one a call to
pgstat_report_wal(), to make sure that they report their WAL statistics
to pgstats, gathering data for pg_stat_io.

In the WAL receiver, the stats reports are timed with status updates sent
to the primary, that depend on wal_receiver_status_interval and
wal_receiver_timeout.  This is a conservative choice, but perhaps we
could be more aggressive with the frequency of the stats reports.  An
interesting historical fact is that the WAL receiver does writes and
syncs of WAL, but it has never reported its statistics to pgstats in
pg_stat_wal.

In the WAL summarizer, the stats reports are done each time the process
waits for WAL.

While on it, pg_stat_io is adjusted so as these two processes do not
report any rows when IOObject is not WAL, making the view easier to use
with less rows.

Two tests are added in TAP, checking statistics for the WAL summarizer
and the WAL receiver.  Status updates in the WAL receiver are currently
possible in the recovery test 001_stream_rep.pl.

b229c10164 Enforce memory limit during parallel GIN builds
Index builds are expected to respect maintenance_work_mem, just like
other maintenance operations. For serial builds this is done simply by
flushing the buffer in ginBuildCallback() into the index. But with
parallel builds it's more complicated, because there are multiple places
that can allocate memory.

ginBuildCallbackParallel() does the same thing as ginBuildCallback(),
except that the accumulated items are written into tuplesort. Then the
entries with the same key get merged - first in the worker, then in the
leader - and the TID lists may get (arbitrarily) long. It's unlikely it
would exceed the memory limit, but it's possible. We address this by
evicting some of the data if the list gets too long.

We can't simply dump the whole in-memory TID list. The GIN index bulk
insert code expects to see TIDs in monotonic order; it may fail if the
TIDs go backwards. If the TID lists overlap, evicting the whole current
TID list would break this (a later entry might add "old" TID values into
the already-written part).

In the workers this is not an issue, because the lists never overlap.
But the leader may see overlapping lists produced by the workers.

We can however derive a safe "horizon" TID - the entries (for a given
key) are sorted by (key, first TID), which means no future list can add
values before the last "first TID" we've seen. This patch tracks the
"frozen" part of the TID list, which we know can't change by merging
additional TID lists. If needed, we can evict this part of the list.

We don't want to do this too often - the smaller lists we evict, the
more expensive it'll be to merge them in the next step (especially in
the leader). Therefore we only trim the list if we have at least 1024
frozen items, and if the whole list is at least 64kB large.

These thresholds are somewhat arbitrary and conservative. We might
calculate the values from maintenance_work_mem, but tests show that does
not really improve anything (time, compression ratio, ...). So we stick
to these conservative values to release memory faster.

0b2a45a5d1 Compress TID lists when writing GIN tuples to disk
When serializing GIN tuples to tuplesorts during parallel index builds,
we can significantly reduce the amount of data by compressing the TID
lists. The GIN opclasses may produce a lot of data (depending on how
many keys are extracted from each row), and the TID compression is very
efficient and effective.

If the number of distinct keys is high, the first worker pass (reading
data from the table and writing them into a private tuplesort) may not
benefit from the compression very much. It is likely to spill data to
disk before the TID lists get long enough for the compression to help.
The second pass (writing the merged data into the shared tuplesort) is
more likely to benefit from compression.

The compression can be seen as a way to reduce the amount of disk space
needed by the parallel builds, because the data is written twice. First
into the per-worker tuplesorts, then into the shared tuplesort.

716a051aac Avoid NullTest deduction for clone clauses
In commit b262ad440, we introduced an optimization that reduces an IS
NOT NULL qual on a column defined as NOT NULL to constant true, and an
IS NULL qual on a NOT NULL column to constant false, provided we can
prove that the input expression of the NullTest is not nullable by any
outer join.  This deduction happens after we have generated multiple
clones of the same qual condition to cope with commuted-left-join
cases.

However, performing the NullTest deduction for clone clauses can be
unsafe, because we don't have a reliable way to determine if the input
expression of a NullTest is non-nullable: nullingrel bits in clone
clauses may not reflect reality, so we dare not draw conclusions from
clones about whether Vars are guaranteed not-null.

To fix, we check whether the given RestrictInfo is a clone clause in
restriction_is_always_true and restriction_is_always_false, and avoid
performing any reduction if it is.

There are several ensuing plan changes in predicate.out, and we have
to modify the tests to ensure that they continue to test what they are
intended to.  Additionally, this fix causes the test case added in
f00ab1fd1 to no longer trigger the bug that commit fixed, so we also
remove that test case.

Back-patch to v17 where this bug crept in.

c76db55c90 Split pgstat_bestart() into three different routines
pgstat_bestart(), used post-authentication to set up a backend entry
in the PgBackendStatus array, so as its data becomes visible in
pg_stat_activity and related catalogs, has its logic divided into three
routines with this commit, called in order at different steps of the
backend initialization:
* pgstat_bestart_initial() sets up the backend entry with a minimal
amount of information, reporting it with a new BackendState called
STATE_STARTING while waiting for backend initialization and client
authentication to complete.  The main benefit that this offers is
observability, so as it is possible to monitor the backend activity
during authentication.  This step happens earlier than in the logic
prior to this commit.  pgstat_beinit() happens earlier as well, before
authentication.
* pgstat_bestart_security() reports the SSL/GSS status of the
connection, once authentication completes.  Auxiliary processes, for
example, do not need to call this step, hence it is optional.  This
step is called after performing authentication, same as previously.
* pgstat_bestart_final() reports the user and database IDs, takes the
entry out of STATE_STARTING, and reports its application_name.  This is
called as the last step of the three, once authentication completes.

An injection point is added, with a test checking that the "starting"
phase of a backend entry is visible in pg_stat_activity.  Some follow-up
patches are planned to take advantage of this refactoring with more
information provided in backend entries during authentication (LDAP
hanging was a problem for the author, initially).

06eae9e621 Trigger more frequent autovacuums with relallfrozen
Calculate the insert threshold for triggering an autovacuum of a
relation based on the number of unfrozen pages.

By only considering the unfrozen portion of the table when calculating
how many tuples to add to the insert threshold, we can trigger more
frequent vacuums of insert-heavy tables. This increases the chances of
vacuuming those pages when they still reside in shared buffers

This also increases the number of autovacuums triggered by tuples
inserted and not by wraparound risk. We prefer to freeze these pages
during insert-triggered autovacuums, as anti-wraparound vacuums are not
automatically canceled by conflicting lock requests.

We calculate the unfrozen percentage of the table using the recently
added (99f8f3fbbc) relallfrozen column of pg_class.

35c8dd9e11 Simplify some logic around setting pg_attribute.atthasdef.
DefineRelation was of the opinion that it could usefully pre-fill
atthasdef flags to eliminate work for StoreAttrDefault.  This is not
the case, however: the tupledesc that it's filling is not the one that
InsertPgAttributeTuples will work from.  The tupledesc used there is
made by RelationBuildLocalRelation, which deliberately doesn't copy
atthasdef.  Moreover, if this did happen as the code thinks, it would
be wrong for the case of plain "DEFAULT NULL" clauses, since we detect
and ignore simple-null-Const defaults later on.  Hence, remove the
useless code.

It also emerges that it's not really worth a special-case path in
StoreAttrDefault() for atthasdef already being set, because as far as
we can see that never happens: cases where an existing default gets
updated always do RemoveAttrDefault first, so as to clean up
possibly-no-longer-correct dependency entries.  If it were the case
the code would still work, anyway.

Also remove a nearby comment made moot by 5eaa0e92e.

95f650674d Fix broken handling of domains in atthasmissing logic.
If a domain type has a default, adding a column of that type (without
any explicit DEFAULT clause) failed to install the domain's default
value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null.  This
is unexpected, and it used to work correctly before v11.  The cause
is confusion in the atthasmissing mechanism about which default value
to install: we'd only consider installing an explicitly-specified
default, and then we'd decide that no table rewrite is needed.

To fix, take the responsibility for filling attmissingval out of
StoreAttrDefault, and instead put it into ATExecAddColumn's existing
logic that derives the correct value to fill the new column with.
Also, centralize the logic that determines the need for
default-related table rewriting there, instead of spreading it over
four or five places.

In the back branches, we'll leave the attmissingval-filling code
in StoreAttrDefault even though it's now dead, for fear that some
extension may be depending on that functionality to exist there.
A separate HEAD-only patch will clean up the now-useless code.

8492feb98f Allow parallel CREATE INDEX for GIN indexes
Allow using parallel workers to build a GIN index, similarly to BTREE
and BRIN. For large tables this may result in significant speedup when
the build is CPU-bound.

The work is divided so that each worker builds index entries on a subset
of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to read the
data. Each worker uses a local tuplesort to sort and merge the entries
for the same key. The TID lists do not overlap (for a given key), which
means the merge sort simply concatenates the two lists. The merged
entries are written into a shared tuplesort for the leader.

The leader needs to merge the sorted entries again, before writing them
into the index. But this way a significant part of the work happens in
the workers, and the leader is left with merging fewer large entries,
which is more efficient.

Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code
used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for GIN indexes
(e.g. uniqueness checks).

Original patch by me, with reviews and substantial improvements by
Matthias van de Meent, certainly enough to make him a co-author.

- pg_stat_get_backend_io()

This is relevant since a051e71e28 for at least the WAL summarizer, WAL
receiver and WAL writer processes, that has changed the backend
statistics to authorize these three following the addition of WAL I/O
statistics in pg_stat_io and backend statistics.  The code is more
flexible with future changes written this way, adapting automatically to
any updates done in pgstat_tracks_backend_bktype().

While on it, pgstat_report_wal() gains a call to pgstat_flush_backend(),
making sure that backend I/O statistics are updated when calling this
routine.  This makes the statistics report correctly for the WAL writer.
WAL receiver and WAL summarizer do not call pgstat_report_wal() yet
(spoiler: both should).  It should be possible to lift some of the
existing restrictions for other auxiliary processes, as well, but this
is left as future work.

This commit introduces a new CopyFromRoutine struct, which is a set of

COPY FROM with the existing formats (text, CSV, and binary) utilize

This change is a preliminary step towards making the COPY FROM command

Similar to 2e4127b6d2, this refactoring contributes to a performance
improvement by reducing the number of "if" branches that need to be

95dbd827f2 EXPLAIN: Always use two fractional digits for row counts.
Commit ddb17e387a attempted to avoid
confusing users by displaying digits after the decimal point only when
nloops > 1, since it's impossible to have a fraction row count after a
single iteration. However, this made the regression tests unstable since
parallal queries will have nloops>1 for all nodes below the Gather or
Gather Merge in normal cases, but if the workers don't start in time and
the leader finishes all the work, they will suddenly have nloops==1,
making it unpredictable whether the digits after the decimal point would
be displayed or not. Although 44cbba9a7f
seemed to fix the immediate failures, it may still be the case that there
are lower-probability failures elsewhere in the regression tests.

Various fixes are possible here. For example, it has previously been
proposed that we should try to display the digits after the decimal
point only if rows/nloops is an integer, but currently rows is storead
as a float so it's not theoretically an exact quantity -- precision
could be lost in extreme cases. It has also been proposed that we
should try to display the digits after the decimal point only if we're
under some sort of construct that could potentially cause looping
regardless of whether it actually does. While such ideas are not
without merit, this patch adopts the much simpler solution of always
display two decimal digits. If that approach stands up to scrutiny
from the buildfarm and human users, it spares us the trouble of doing
anything more complex; if not, we can reassess.

This commit incidentally reverts 44cbba9a7f,
which should no longer be needed.

55918f798b Remove arbitrary cap on read_stream.c buffer queue.
Previously the internal queue of buffers was capped at max_ios * 4,
though not less than io_combine_limit, at allocation time.  That was
done in the first version based on conservative theories about resource
usage and heuristics pending later work.  The configured I/O depth could
not always be reached with dense random streams generated by ANALYZE,
VACUUM, the proposed Bitmap Heap Scan patch, and also sequential streams
with the proposed AIO subsystem to name some examples.

The new formula is (max_ios + 1) * io_combine_limit, enough buffers for
the full configured I/O concurrency level using the full configured I/O
combine size, plus the buffers from one finished but not yet consumed
full-sized I/O.  Significantly more memory would be needed for high GUC
values if the client code requests a large per-buffer data size, but
that is discouraged (existing and proposed stream users try to keep it
under a few words, if not zero).

With this new formula, an intermediate variable could have overflowed
under maximum GUC values, so its data type is adjusted to cope.

62ec3e1f67 Fix possible double-release of spinlock in procsignal.c
9d9b9d46f3 has added spinlocks to protect the fields in ProcSignal
flags, introducing a code path in ProcSignalInit() where a spinlock
could be released twice if the pss_pid field of a ProcSignalSlot is
found as already set.  Multiple spinlock releases have no effect with
most spinlock implementations, but this could cause the code to run into
issues when the spinlock is acquired concurrently by a different
process.

This sanity check on pss_pid generates a LOG that can be delayed until
after the spinlock is released as, like older versions up to v17, the
code expects the initialization of the ProcSignalSlot to happen even if
pss_pid is found incorrect.  The code is changed so as the old pss_pid
is read while holding the slot's spinlock, with the LOG from the sanity
check generated after releasing the spinlock, preventing the double
release.

40e27d04b4 Use attnum to identify index columns in pg_restore_attribute_stats().
Previously we used attname for both table and index columns, but
that is problematic for indexes because their attnames are assigned
by internal rules that don't guarantee to preserve the names across
dump and reload.  (This is what's causing the remaining buildfarm
failures in cross-version-upgrade tests.)  Fortunately we can use
attnum instead, since there's no such thing as adding or dropping
columns in an existing index.  We met this same problem previously
with ALTER INDEX ... SET STATISTICS, and solved it the same way,
cf commit 5b6d13eec.

In pg_restore_attribute_stats() itself, we accept either attnum or
attname, but the policy used by pg_dump is to always use attname
for tables and attnum for indexes.

6c349d83b6 Re-add GUC track_wal_io_timing
This commit is a rework of 2421e9a51d, about which Andres Freund has
raised some concerns as it is valuable to have both track_io_timing and
track_wal_io_timing in some cases, as the WAL write and fsync paths can
be a major bottleneck for some workloads.  Hence, it can be relevant to
not calculate the WAL timings in environments where pg_test_timing
performs poorly while capturing some IO data under track_io_timing for
the non-WAL IO paths.  The opposite can be also true: it should be
possible to disable the non-WAL timings and enable the WAL timings (the
previous GUC setups allowed this possibility).

track_wal_io_timing is added back in this commit, controlling if WAL
timings should be calculated in pg_stat_io for the read, fsync and write
paths, as done previously with pg_stat_wal.  pg_stat_wal previously
tracked only the sync and write parts (now removed), read stats is new
data tracked in pg_stat_io, all three are aggregated if
track_wal_io_timing is enabled.  The read part matters during recovery
or if a XLogReader is used.

Extra note: more control over if the types of timings calculated in
pg_stat_io could be done with a GUC that lists pairs of (IOObject,IOOp).
