Two attributes are added to pg_stat_database:
* parallel_workers_to_launch, counting the total number of parallel
workers that were planned to be launched.
* parallel_workers_launched, counting the total number of parallel
workers actually launched.
The ratio of both fields can provide hints that there are not enough
slots available when launching parallel workers, also useful when
pg_stat_statements is not deployed on an instance (i.e. cf54a2c002).

We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints on
user tables. Only one such constraint is allowed for a column.
We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as
adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and
creating tables LIKE other tables. These related constraints mostly
follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have
for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to
CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending
a hierarchy to alter or remove it, instead matching by the name of the
column that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint
names to be identical across a hierarchy.
The inheritance status of these constraints can be controlled: now we
can be sure that if a parent table has one, then all children will have
it as well. They can optionally be marked NO INHERIT, and then children
are free not to have one. (There's currently no support for altering a
NO INHERIT constraint into inheriting down the hierarchy, but that's a
desirable future feature.)
This also opens the door for having these constraints be marked NOT
VALID, as well as allowing UNIQUE+NOT NULL to be used for functional
dependency determination, as envisioned by commit e49ae8d3bc. It's
likely possible to allow DEFERRABLE constraints as followup work, as
well.
psql shows these constraints in \d+, though we may want to reconsider if
this turns out to be too noisy. Earlier versions of this patch hid
constraints that were on the same columns of the primary key, but I'm
not sure that that's very useful. If clutter is a problem, we might be
better off inventing a new \d++ command and not showing the constraints
in \d+.
For now, we omit these constraints on system catalog columns, because
they're unlikely to achieve anything.
The main difference to the previous attempt at this (b0e96f3119) is
that we now require that such a constraint always exists when a primary
key is in the column; we didn't require this previously which had a
number of unpalatable consequences. With this requirement, the code is
easier to reason about. For example:
- We no longer have "throwaway constraints" during pg_dump. We needed
those for the case where a table had a PK without a not-null
underneath, to prevent a slow scan of the data during restore of the
PK creation, which was particularly problematic for pg_upgrade.
- We no longer have to cope with attnotnull being set spuriously in
case a primary key is dropped indirectly (e.g., via DROP COLUMN).

This patch builds on the work done in commit 745217a051 by enabling the
replication of generated columns alongside regular column changes through
a new publication parameter: publish_generated_columns.
Example usage:
CREATE PUBLICATION pub1 FOR TABLE tab_gencol WITH (publish_generated_columns = true);
The column list takes precedence. If the generated columns are specified
in the column list, they will be replicated even if
'publish_generated_columns' is set to false. Conversely, if generated
columns are not included in the column list (assuming the user specifies a
column list), they will not be replicated even if
'publish_generated_columns' is true.

Commit 90189eefc1 narrowed pg_attribute.attinhcount and
pg_constraint.coninhcount from 32 to 16 bits, but kept other related
structs with 32-bit wide fields: ColumnDef and CookedConstraint contain
an int 'inhcount' field which is itself checked for overflow on

Fix it by changing those other structs to also use int16.

Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints.
These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they
are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of
the key and && for the temporal part.
(previously committed as 46a0cd4cef, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new
part is this:)
Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint
allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal
expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional
dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the
table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value
from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties.
This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and
multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above).
Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could
conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for
the notion of "empty" for other types.

for the hash AM, contained several hardcoded exceptions. For example,
hash/date_ops support function 1 was hashint4(), which would
ordinarily fail validation because the function argument is int4, not
date. But this works internally because int4 and date are of the same
size. There are several more exceptions like this that happen to work

signature validation.
This patch removes those exceptions by providing new support functions

With the exceptions gone, hashvalidate() is now simplified and relies

When generating window_pathkeys, distinct_pathkeys, or sort_pathkeys,
we failed to realize that the grouping/ordering expressions might be
nullable by grouping sets. As a result, we may incorrectly deem that
the PathKeys are redundant by EquivalenceClass processing and thus
remove them from the pathkeys list. That would lead to wrong results
in some cases.
To fix this issue, we mark the grouping expressions nullable by
grouping sets if that is the case. If the grouping expression is a
Var or PlaceHolderVar or constructed from those, we can just add the
RT index of the RTE_GROUP RTE to the existing nullingrels field(s);
otherwise we have to add a PlaceHolderVar to carry on the nullingrel
bit.
However, we have to manually remove this nullingrel bit from
expressions in various cases where these expressions are logically
below the grouping step, such as when we generate groupClause pathkeys
for grouping sets, or when we generate PathTarget for initial input to
grouping nodes.
Furthermore, in set_upper_references, the targetlist and quals of an
Agg node should have nullingrels that include the effects of the
grouping step, ie they will have nullingrels equal to the input
Vars/PHVs' nullingrels plus the nullingrel bit that references the
grouping RTE. In order to perform exact nullingrels matches, we also
need to manually remove this nullingrel bit.

If there are subqueries in the grouping expressions, each of these
subqueries in the targetlist and HAVING clause is expanded into
distinct SubPlan nodes. As a result, only one of these SubPlan nodes
would be converted to reference to the grouping key column output by
the Agg node; others would have to get evaluated afresh. This is not
efficient, and with grouping sets this can cause wrong results issues
in cases where they should go to NULL because they are from the wrong
grouping set. Furthermore, during re-evaluation, these SubPlan nodes
might use nulled column values from grouping sets, which is not
correct.
This issue is not limited to subqueries. For other types of
expressions that are part of grouping items, if they are transformed
into another form during preprocessing, they may fail to match lower
target items. This can also lead to wrong results with grouping sets.
To fix this issue, we introduce a new kind of RTE representing the
output of the grouping step, with columns that are the Vars or
expressions being grouped on. In the parser, we replace the grouping
expressions in the targetlist and HAVING clause with Vars referencing
this new RTE, so that the output of the parser directly expresses the
semantic requirement that the grouping expressions be gotten from the
grouping output rather than computed some other way. In the planner,
we first preprocess all the columns of this new RTE and then replace
any Vars in the targetlist and HAVING clause that reference this new
RTE with the underlying grouping expressions, so that we will have
only one instance of a SubPlan node for each subquery contained in the
grouping expressions.

Doing this requires making the function which validates the list of
columns an extern function. The signature of the static function wasn't
an ideal external API as it made the code more complex than it needed to be.
Here we adjust the function to have it populate a Bitmapset of attribute
numbers. Doing it this way allows code simplification.
There was no particular bug here other than the weird error message, so
no backpatch.

We've had code for CRC-32 and CRC-32C for some time (for WAL
records, etc.), but there was no way for users to call it, despite
apparent popular demand. The new crc32() and crc32c() functions
accept bytea input and return bigint (to avoid returning negative
values).

32d3ed816 added the "path" column to pg_backend_memory_contexts to allow
a stable method of obtaining the parent MemoryContext of a given row in
the view. Using the "path" column is now the preferred method of
obtaining the parent row.
Previously, any queries which were self-joining to this view using the
"name" and "parent" columns could get incorrect results due to the fact
that names are not unique. Here we aim to explicitly break such queries
so that they can be corrected and use the "path" column instead.
It is possible that there are more innocent users of the parent column
that just need an indication of the parent and having to write out a
self-joining CTE may be an unnecessary hassle for those cases. Let's
remove the column for now and see if anyone comes back with any
complaints. This does seem like a good time to attempt to get rid of
the column as we still have around 1 year to revert this if someone comes
back with a valid complaint. Plus this view is new to v14 and is quite
niche, so perhaps not many people will be affected.

pg_wal_replay_wait() 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.
The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.
pg_wal_replay_wait() 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 it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.
Catversion is bumped.

This new function returns the data for the given sequence, i.e.,
the values within the sequence tuple. Since this function is a
substitute for SELECT from the sequence, the SELECT privilege is
required on the sequence in question. It returns all NULLs for
sequences for which we lack privileges, other sessions' temporary
sequences, and unlogged sequences on standbys.
This function is primarily intended for use by pg_dump in a
follow-up commit that will use it to optimize dumpSequenceData().
Like pg_sequence_last_value(), which is a support function for the
pg_sequences system view, pg_sequence_read_tuple() is left
undocumented.

This change allows these functions to be called using named-argument
notation, which can be helpful for readability, particularly for
the ones with many arguments.
There was considerable debate about exactly which names to use,
but in the end we settled on the names already shown in our
documentation table 9.10.
The citext extension provides citext-aware versions of some of
these functions, so add argument names to those too.
In passing, fix table 9.10's syntax synopses for regexp_match,
which were slightly wrong about which combinations of arguments
are allowed.

"path" provides a reliable method of determining the parent/child
relationships between memory contexts. Previously this could be done in
a non-reliable way by writing a recursive query and joining the "parent"
and "name" columns. This wasn't reliable as the names were not unique,
which could result in joining to the wrong parent.
To make this reliable, "path" stores an array of numerical identifiers
starting with the identifier for TopLevelMemoryContext. It contains an
element for each intermediate parent between that and the current context.
Incompatibility: Here we also adjust the "level" column to make it
1-based rather than 0-based. A 1-based level provides a convenient way
to access elements in the "path" array. e.g. path[level] gives the
identifier for the current context.
Identifiers are not stable across multiple evaluations of the view. In
an attempt to make these more stable for ad-hoc queries, the identifiers
are assigned breadth-first. Contexts closer to TopLevelMemoryContext
are less likely to change between queries and during queries.

To do this, we must include the wal_level in the first WAL record
covered by each summary file; so add wal_level to struct Checkpoint
and the payload of XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO and XLOG_END_OF_RECOVERY.
This, in turn, requires bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC and, since the
Checkpoint is also stored in the control file, also
PG_CONTROL_VERSION. It's not great to do that so late in the release
cycle, but the alternative seems to ship v17 without robust
protections against this scenario, which could result in corrupted
incremental backups.
A side effect of this patch is that, when a server with
wal_level=replica is started with summarize_wal=on for the first time,
summarization will no longer begin with the oldest WAL that still
exists in pg_wal, but rather from the first checkpoint after that.
This change should be harmless, because a WAL summary for a partial
checkpoint cycle can never make an incremental backup possible when
it would otherwise not have been.

Since commit 3a9b18b309, roles with privileges of pg_signal_backend
cannot signal autovacuum workers. Many users treated the ability
to signal autovacuum workers as a feature instead of a bug, so we
are reintroducing it via a new predefined role. Having privileges
of this new role, named pg_signal_autovacuum_worker, only permits
signaling autovacuum workers. It does not permit signaling other
types of superuser backends.
