Prevent creation of duplicate not-null constraints for domains
This was previously harmless, but now that we create pg_constraint rows
for those, duplicates are not welcome anymore.

Fix error message for ALTER CONSTRAINT ... NOT VALID
Trying to alter a constraint so that it becomes NOT VALID results in an
error that assumes the constraint is a foreign key.  This is potentially
wrong, so give a more generic error message.

While at it, give CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER a better error message as
well.

4cb889d21f 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.

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.

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.)

fc39b286ad psql: Rename meta-command \close to \close_prepared
\close has been introduced in d55322b0da to be able to close a
prepared statement using the extended protocol in psql.  Per discussion,
the name "close" is ambiguous.  At the SQL level, CLOSE is used to close
a cursor.  At protocol level, the close message can be used to either
close a statement or a portal.

This patch renames \close to \close_prepared to avoid any ambiguity and
make it clear that this is used to close a prepared statement.  This new
name has been chosen based on the feedback from the author and the
reviewers.

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).

6e951f279b psql: Forbid use of COPY and \copy while in a pipeline
Running COPY within a pipeline can break protocol synchronization in
multiple ways.  psql is limited in terms of result processing if mixing
COPY commands with normal queries while controlling a pipeline with the
new meta-commands, as an effect of the following reasons:
- In COPY mode, the backend ignores additional Sync messages and will
not send a matching ReadyForQuery expected by the frontend.  Doing a
\syncpipeline just after COPY will leave the frontend waiting for a
ReadyForQuery message that won't be sent, leaving psql out-of-sync.
- libpq automatically sends a Sync with the Copy message which is not
tracked in the command queue, creating an unexpected synchronisation
point that psql cannot really know about.  While it is possible to track
such activity for a \copy, this cannot really be done sanely with plain
COPY queries.  Backend failures during a COPY would leave the pipeline
in an aborted state while the backend would be in a clean state, ready
to process commands.

At the end, fixing those issues would require modifications in how libpq
handles pipeline and COPY.  So, rather than implementing workarounds in
psql to shortcut the libpq internals (with command queue handling for
one), and because meta-commands for pipelines in psql are a new feature
with COPY in a pipeline having a limited impact compared to other
queries, this commit forbids the use of COPY within a pipeline to avoid
possible break of protocol synchronisation within psql.  If there is a
use-case for COPY support within pipelines in libpq, this could always
be added in the future, if necessary.

Most of the changes of this commit impacts the tests for psql pipelines,
removing the tests related to COPY.  Some TAP tests still exist for COPY
TO/FROM and \copy to/from, to check that that connections are aborted
when this operation is attempted.

cc733ed164
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
not fixed in this commit.

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.

When a MERGE's target table is the parent of an inheritance tree, any

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.

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.

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.

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.

roname (the replication origin name) is the only varlena column, 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

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.

1aa7cf9eb8 Disallow removing placeholders during Self-Join Elimination.
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.

To estimate with extended statistics, we need to clear the varnullingrels
field in the expression, and duplicates are not allowed in the GroupVarInfo

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.

da83b1ea10 Avoid depending on post-UPDATE row order in float4/float8 tests.
While heapam reproduces the insertion order of rows well, updates
can move rows to varying places depending on autovacuum activity.
In most regression tests we've guarded against getting variable
results due to that, but float4.sql and float8.sql had escaped
notice so far because they update tables that are too small for
autovacuum to pay attention to.

With increasing interest in non-heap table AMs, it seems worth
allowing for update behaviors that are not like heapam's.  Hence,
add ORDER BY to stabilize the results in case the updates put
the rows in a different order.  (We'll continue to assume that a
seqscan will reproduce original insertion order, though.  Removing
that assumption would require vastly-more-invasive test changes.)

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.

probability of reaching the trouble was low, the disruption was extreme.  No

The new check in RelationIdGetRelation() suffices to make autovacuum detect
the bug in commit 243e9b40f1 that led to commit

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.

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.

b1720fe63f Move contrib/spi testing from core regression tests to contrib/spi.
It's weird to have the core regression tests depending on contrib
code, and coverage testing shows that those test queries add nothing
to the core-code coverage of the core tests.  So pull those test bits
out and put them into ordinary test scripts inside contrib/spi/,
making that more like other contrib modules.

Aside from being structurally nicer, anything we can take out of the
core tests (which are executed multiple times per check-world run)
and put into tests executed only once should be a win.  It doesn't
look like this change will buy a whole lot of milliseconds, but a
cycle saved is a cycle earned.

Also, there is some discussion around possibly removing refint and/or
autoinc altogether.  I don't know if that will happen, but we'd
certainly need to decouple them from the core tests to do so.

The tests for autoinc were quite intertwined with the undocumented
"ttdummy" trigger in regress.c.  That made the tests very hard to
understand and contributed nothing to autoinc's testing either.
So I just deleted ttdummy and rewrote the autoinc tests without it.

I realized while doing this that the description of autoinc in
the SGML docs is not a great description of what the function
actually does, so the patch includes some updates to those docs.

pressure or unanticipated memory usage characteristics.

When calling the function it sends a signal to the specified
process to submit statistics regarding its memory contexts
into dynamic shared memory.  Each memory context is returned
in detail, followed by a cumulative total in case the number
of contexts exceed the max allocated amount of shared memory.
Each process is limited to use at most 1Mb memory for this.

A summary can also be explicitly requested by the user, this
will return the TopMemoryContext and a cumulative total of
all lower contexts.

In order to not block on busy processes the caller specifies
the number of seconds during which to retry before timing out.
In the case where no statistics are published within the set
timeout,  the last known statistics are returned, or NULL if
no previously published statistics exist.  This allows dash-
board type queries to continually publish even if the target
process is temporarily congested.  Context records contain a
timestamp to indicate when they were submitted.

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.

8cfbdf8f4d Fix some issues in contrib/spi/refint.c.
check_foreign_key incorrectly used a single cache entry for its saved
plans for a 'c' (cascade) trigger, although there are two different
queries to execute depending on whether it fires for an update or a
delete.  This caused the wrong things to be done if both types of
event occur in one session.  (This was indeed visible in the triggers
regression test, but apparently nobody ever questioned it.)  To fix,
add the operation type to the cache key.

Its debug log output failed to distinguish update from delete
events, too.

Also, change the intended trigger usage from BEFORE ROW to AFTER ROW,
and add checks insisting on that usage.  BEFORE is really rather
unsafe, since if there are other BEFORE triggers they might change or
cancel the operation we are trying to check.  AFTER triggers are the
standard way to propagate changes to other rows, so we should follow
that way here.

In passing, remove a useless duplicate lookup of the cache entry.

This code is mostly intended as a documentation example, so we
won't consider a back-patch.

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.)

3c6e8c1238 Compute CRC32C using AVX-512 instructions where available
The previous implementation of CRC32C on x86 relied on the native
CRC32 instruction from the SSE 4.2 extension, which operates on
up to 8 bytes at a time. We can get a substantial speedup by using
carryless multiplication on SIMD registers, processing 64 bytes per
loop iteration. Shorter inputs fall back to ordinary CRC instructions.
On Intel Tiger Lake hardware (2020), CRC is now 50% faster for inputs
between 64 and 112 bytes, and 3x faster for 256 bytes.

The VPCLMULQDQ instruction on 512-bit registers has been available
on Intel hardware since 2019 and AMD since 2022. There is an older
variant for 128-bit registers, but at least on Zen 2 it performs worse
than normal CRC instructions for short inputs.

We must now do a runtime check, even for builds that target SSE
4.2. This doesn't matter in practice for WAL (arguably the most
critical case), because since commit e2809e3a1 the final computation
with the 20-byte WAL header is inlined and unrolled when targeting
that extension. Compared with two direct function calls, testing
showed equal or slightly faster performance in performing an indirect
function call on several dozen bytes followed by inlined instructions
on constant input of 20 bytes.

The MIT-licensed implementation was generated with the "generate"
program from

https://github.com/corsix/fast-crc32/

Based on: "Fast CRC Computation for Generic Polynomials Using PCLMULQDQ
Instruction" V. Gopal, E. Ozturk, et al., 2009

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.
