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.

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.)

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.

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.

There's no principled reason for query jumbling to only remove the first
layer of RelabelType and CoerceViaIO. Change it to see through as many
layers as there are.
If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will
decide to freeze its xmax and later error out in pre-freeze checks.
Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates
a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for
vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force
GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and
precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the
table.
This test is coverage for a case fixed in 83c39a1f7f. The test was
originally committed to master in aa607980ae but later reverted in
efcbb76efe due to test instability.
The test requires multiple index passes. In Postgres 17+, vacuum uses a
TID store for the dead TIDs that is very space efficient. With the old
minimum maintenance_work_mem of 1 MB, it required a large number of dead
rows to generate enough dead TIDs to force multiple index
vacuuming passes. Once the source code changes were made to allow a
minimum maintenance_work_mem value of 64kB, the test could be made much
faster and more stable.

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.

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).

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.

The TAP tests that verify logical and physical replication slot behavior
during checkpoints (046_checkpoint_logical_slot.pl and

generating approximately 520 MB of WAL. On slow machines, or when compiled

tests to run for 8-9 minutes and occasionally time out, as seen on the

This commit modifies the mentioned tests to utilize the $node->advance_wal()
function, thereby reducing runtime. Once we do not use the generated data,
the proposed function is a good alternative, which cuts the total wall-clock
run time.
While here, remove superfluous '\n' characters from several note() calls;

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.

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.

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.
Commit bba2fbc623 introduced a new implementation of the \conninfo

well.

This commit updates \conninfo to display the full protocol version (e.g., 3.2).
Since support for new version 3.2 was added in v18, and the server supports
both 3.0 and 3.2, showing the complete version helps users understand
exactly which protocol version the current session is using.
Although this is a minor behavior change, it's considered a fix for

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

this function is also called when the LOAD command is executed, and
since the user may explicitly pass the $libdir prefix on LOAD

When the backend reads COPY data, it ignores all sync messages, as per
c01641f8ae. With psql pipelines, it is possible to manually send sync
messages with \sendpipeline which leaves the frontend in an
unrecoverable state as the backend will not send the necessary
ReadyForQuery message that is expected to feed psql result consumption
logic.
It could be possible to artificially reduce the piped_syncs and
requested_results, however libpq's state would still have queued sync
messages in its command queue, and the only way to consume those without
directly calling pqCommandQueueAdvance() is to process ReadyForQuery
messages that won't be sent since the backend ignores these. Perhaps
this could be improved in the future, but I am not really excited about
introducing this amount of complications in libpq to manipulate the
message queues without a better use case to support it.
Hence, this patch aborts the connection if we detect excessive sync
messages after a COPY in a pipeline to avoid staying in an inconsistent
protocol state, which is the best thing we can do with pipelines in
psql for now. Note that this change does not prevent wrapping a set
of queries inside a block made of \startpipeline and \endpipeline, only
the use of \syncpipeline for a COPY.

This commit renames the GUC log_lock_failure to log_lock_failures
to align with the existing similar setting log_lock_waits, which uses

We store values for these options as array elements with the syntax
"name=value", hence a name containing "=" confuses matters when
it's time to read the array back in. Since validation of the
options is often done (long) after this conversion to array format,
that leads to confusing and off-point error messages. We can
improve matters by rejecting names containing "=" up-front.
(Probably a better design would have involved pairs of array
elements, but it's too late now --- and anyway, there's no
evident use-case for option names like this. We already
reject such names in some other contexts such as GUCs.)

052026c9b9 mistakenly reordered setup steps in heap_vacuum_rel(),
incorrectly moving RelationGetNumberOfBlocks() before
vacuum_get_cutoffs().
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.

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.

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
introduced.

PLy_elog_impl and its subroutine PLy_traceback intended to avoid
leaking any PyObject reference counts, but their coverage of the
matter was sadly incomplete. In particular, out-of-memory errors
in most of the string-construction subroutines could lead to
reference count leaks, because those calls were outside the
PG_TRY blocks responsible for dropping reference counts.
Fix by (a) adjusting the scopes of the PG_TRY blocks, and
(b) moving the responsibility for releasing the reference counts
of the traceback-stack objects to PLy_elog_impl. This requires
some additional "volatile" markers, but not too many.
In passing, fix an ancient thinko: use of the "e_module_o" PyObject
was guarded by "if (e_type_s)", where surely "if (e_module_o)"
was meant. This would only have visible consequences if the
"__name__" attribute were present but the "__module__" attribute
wasn't, which apparently never happens; but someday it might.
Rearranging the PG_TRY blocks requires indenting a fair amount
of code one more tab stop, which I'll do separately for clarity.

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

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.

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

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.)

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.

uint64 was perhaps chosen in cff440d36 as the type was uint32 prior to

Having this as uint64 doesn't make much sense and just adds the overhead of

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.

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

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.

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

xmltotext_with_options sometimes tries to replace the existing
root node of a libxml2 document. In that case xmlDocSetRootElement
will unlink and return the old root node; if we fail to free it,
it's leaked for the remainder of the session. The amount of memory
at stake is not large, a couple hundred bytes per occurrence, but
that could still become annoying in heavy usage.
Our only other xmlDocSetRootElement call is not at risk because
it's working on a just-created document, but let's modify that
code too to make it clear that it's dependent on that.

Before v14, a reltuples value of 0 was ambiguous: it could either
mean the relation is empty, or it could mean that it hadn't yet
been vacuumed or analyzed. (Commit 3d351d916b taught v14 and newer
to use -1 for the latter case.) This ambiguity allegedly can cause
the planner to choose inefficient plans after restoring to v18 or
newer. To fix, let's just dump reltuples as -1 in that case. This
will cause some truly empty tables to be seen as not-yet-processed,
but that seems unlikely to cause too much trouble in practice.
Note that we could alternatively teach pg_restore_relation_stats()
to translate reltuples based on the version argument, but since
that function doesn't exist until v18, there's no particular
advantage to that approach. That is, there's no chance of
restoring stats dumped from a pre-v14 server to another pre-v14
server. Per discussion, the current policy is to fix pre-v18
behavior differences during export and everything else during
import.
Commit 9879105024 fixed a similar problem for vacuumdb by removing
the check for reltuples != 0. Presumably we could reinstate that
check now, but I've chosen to leave it in place in case reltuples
isn't accurate. As before, processing some empty tables seems
relatively harmless.

As pointed out by Tom Lane, the patch introduced fragile and invasive
design around plan invalidation handling when locking of prunable
partitions was deferred from plancache.c to the executor. In
particular, it violated assumptions about CachedPlan immutability and
altered executor APIs in ways that are difficult to justify given the
added complexity and overhead.
This also removes the firstResultRels field added to PlannedStmt in
commit 28317de72, which was intended to support deferred locking of

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
statistics entries stored in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.
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
entries in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.

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.

Presently, fetchAttributeStats() builds array literals by treating
the elements as SQL identifiers. This is incorrect for a couple of
reasons:
* Array literal content must match the external text representation
of the array, i.e., what array_out() would return. One notable
problem is that double quotes are escaped with "" in identifiers
but with \" in array literals. To fix, build the array content
using the pre-existing appendPGArray() function.
* Array literals must be written as string constants. A notable
problem here is that single quotes are escaped via '' in strings
but are not escaped in the text representation of an array. To
fix, append the aforementioned array literal content to the query
with appendStringLiteralAH().
While at it, modify a test case to use an identifier that would
cause the test to fail without this change.

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

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.

This can happen when a client acknowledges an LSN it doesn't have to do
anything for, and thus didn't store persistently. After a restart, the
client can send the prior LSN that it stored persistently as an

Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define
__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to
have access to memset_s(). It appears that many platforms are lenient
about this, because we weren't doing it and yet the code appeared to
work anyway. But we now find that with -std=c11, macOS is strict and
doesn't declare memset_s, leading to compile failures since we try to
use it anyway. (Given the lack of prior reports, perhaps this is new
behavior in the latest SDK? No matter, we're clearly in the wrong.)
In addition to the immediate problem, which could be fixed merely by
adding the needed #define to explicit_bzero.c, it seems possible that
our configure-time probe for memset_s() could fail in case a platform
implements the function in some odd way due to this spec requirement.
This concern can be fixed in largely the same way that we dealt with
strchrnul() in 6da2ba1d8: switch to using a declaration-based
configure probe instead of a does-it-link probe.

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.

After executing ALTER SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub SET PUBLICATION, we did not
wait for the new walsender process to restart. As a result, an INSERT
executed immediately after the ALTER could be decoded and skipped,
considering it is not part of any subscribed publication. And, the old
apply worker could also confirm the LSN of such an INSERT. This could
cause the replication to resume from a point after the INSERT. In such
