In logical replication mode, a WalSender is supposed to be able
to execute any regular SQL command, as well as the special
replication commands. Poor design of the replication-command
parser caused it to fail in various cases, notably:
* semicolons embedded in a command, or multiple SQL commands
sent in a single message;
* dollar-quoted literals containing odd numbers of single
or double quote marks;
* commands starting with a comment.
The basic problem here is that we're trying to run repl_scanner.l
across the entire input string even when it's not a replication
command. Since repl_scanner.l does not understand all of the
token types known to the core lexer, this is doomed to have
failure modes.
We certainly don't want to make repl_scanner.l as big as scan.l,
so instead rejigger stuff so that we only lex the first token of
a non-replication command. That will usually look like an IDENT
to repl_scanner.l, though a comment would end up getting reported
as a '-' or '/' single-character token. If the token is a replication
command keyword, we push it back and proceed normally with repl_gram.y
parsing. Otherwise, we can drop out of exec_replication_command()
without examining the rest of the string.
(It's still theoretically possible for repl_scanner.l to fail on
the first token; but that could only happen if it's an unterminated
single- or double-quoted string, in which case you'd have gotten
largely the same error from the core lexer too.)
In this way, repl_gram.y isn't involved at all in handling general
SQL commands, so we can get rid of the SQLCmd node type. (In
the back branches, we can't remove it because renumbering enum
NodeTag would be an ABI break; so just leave it sit there unused.)
I failed to resist the temptation to clean up some other sloppy
coding in repl_scanner.l while at it. The only externally-visible
behavior change from that is it now accepts \r and \f as whitespace,
same as the core lexer.

Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of
lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state. Every other
copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL),
but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo.
The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most
replication clients would abandon their connection after getting
a syntax error. Still, it's a bug.

Previously, unless we had to add a NOT NULL constraint to the column,
this command resulted in updating only the index's relcache entry.
That's problematic when replication behavior is being driven off the
existence of a primary key: other sessions (and ours too for that
matter) failed to recalculate their opinion of whether the table can
be replicated. Add a relcache invalidation to fix it.
This has been broken since pg_class.relhaspkey was removed in v11.
Before that, updating the table's relhaspkey value sufficed to cause
a cache flush. Hence, backpatch to v11.

In libpq and ecpglib, multiple threads can concurrently enter the

Commits 6c4a8903b et al. had a couple of deficiencies:
* The logic I added to Cluster::start to see if a PID file is present
could be fooled by a stale PID file left over from a previous
postmaster. To fix, if we're not sure whether we expect to find a
running postmaster or not, validate the PID using "kill 0".
* 017_shm.pl has a loop in which it just issues repeated Cluster::start
calls; this will fail if some invocation fails but leaves self->_pid
set. Per buildfarm results, the above fix is not enough to make this
safe: we might have "validated" a PID for a postmaster that exits
immediately after we look. Hence, match each failed start call with
a stop call that will get us back to the self->_pid == undef state.

The original coding (from c33869cc3) failed with "more than one row
returned by a subquery used as an expression" if there were unrelated
triggers of the same tgname on parent partitioned tables. (That's
possible because statement-level triggers don't get inherited.) Fix
by applying LIMIT 1 after sorting the candidates by inheritance level.
Also, wrap the subquery in a CASE so that we don't have to execute it at
all when the trigger is visibly non-inherited. Aside from saving some
cycles, this avoids the need for a confusing and undocumented NULLIF().
While here, tweak the format of the emitted query to look a bit

It seems highly unlikely that gettext() can be relied on to be
async-signal-safe. psql used to understand that, but someone got
it wrong long ago in the src/bin/scripts/ version of handle_sigint,
and then the bad idea was perpetuated when those two versions were
unified into src/fe_utils/cancel.c.
I'm unsure why there have not been field complaints about this
... maybe gettext() is signal-safe once it's translated at least
one message? But we have no business assuming any such thing.
In cancel.c (v13 and up), I preserved our ability to localize
"Cancel request sent" messages by invoking gettext() before
the signal handler is set up. In earlier branches I just made
src/bin/scripts/ not localize those messages, as psql did then.
(Just for extra unsafety, the src/bin/scripts/ version was
invoking fprintf() from a signal handler. Sigh.)

PQcancel() is supposed to be safe to call from a signal handler,
and indeed psql uses it that way. All of the library functions
it uses are specified to be async-signal-safe by POSIX ...
except for strerror. Neither plain strerror nor strerror_r
are considered safe. When this code was written, back in the
dark ages, we probably figured "oh, strerror will just index
into a constant array of strings" ... but in any locale except C,
that's unlikely to be true. Probably the reason we've not heard
complaints is that (a) this error-handling code is unlikely to be
reached in normal use, and (b) in many scenarios, localized error
strings would already have been loaded, after which maybe it's
safe to call strerror here. Still, this is clearly unacceptable.
The best we can do without relying on strerror is to print the
decimal value of errno, so make it do that instead. (This is
probably not much loss of user-friendliness, given that it is
hard to get a failure here.)

Since enum labels have to be single-quoted, this part of the
tab completion machinery got side-swiped by commit cd69ec66c.
A side-effect of that commit is that (at least with some versions
of Readline) the text string passed for completion will omit the
leading quote mark of the enum label literal. Libedit still acts
the same as before, though, so adapt COMPLETE_WITH_ENUM_VALUE so
that it can cope with either convention.

Commit 859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance
trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that
resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for
declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the
non-leaf relations.
That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by
the issue 859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression
affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance
tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries).
But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition
and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing
anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates.
It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect
proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior
statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For
tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from
child relations (if built 859b3003de), contradicting the current code.

Since commit 859b3003de we only build extended statistics for individual
relations, ignoring the child relations. This resolved the issue with
updating catalog tuple twice, but we still tried to use the statistics
when calculating estimates for the whole inheritance tree. When the
relations contain very distinct data, it may produce bogus estimates.
This is roughly the same issue 427c6b5b9 addressed ~15 years ago, and we
fix it the same way - by ignoring extended statistics when calculating
estimates for the inheritance tree as a whole. We still consider
extended statistics when calculating estimates for individual child
relations, of course.
This may result in plan changes due to different estimates, but if the
old statistics were not describing the inheritance tree particularly
well it's quite likely the new plans is actually better.

Commit 7745bc352 intended to ensure that whole-row Vars would be

Nosing around ruleutils.c, I found a second oversight: the
code for RowCompareExpr generates ROW() notation without benefit

get_rel_sync_entry(), which is called each time a change needs to be
logically replicated, is a rather hot code path in the WAL sender
sending logical changes. This code path was doing a relcache access on
relkind and relpartition for each logical change, but we only need to
know this information when building or re-building the cached
information for a relation.
Some measurements prove that this is noticeable in perf profiles,
particularly when attempting to replicate changes from relations that
are not published as these cause less overhead in the WAL sender,
delaying further the replication of changes for relations that are
published.

Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the
same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column
can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index
operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which
indicates a gap in our test cases :-().
Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field
to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that
can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any
non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only
guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed
expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c
processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk
if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely.
(We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo
again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way
to avoid needing to do that.)
This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there
are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly,
they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very
invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no
change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions
shouldn't have a problem.

If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of
the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a
returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result
in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable
column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable
column as intended.
To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node
as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns.
This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching
to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the
exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a
correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other
ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way
seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes
the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the
indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM
will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns.
This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's
possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the
added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.

use those commands. This makes the settings more consistent with
src/Makefile.global.in, as the same default gets used for Make and MSVC

Each parameter can be changed in buildenv.pl, but as a default gets
assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is not possible to unset any of
these, and using an empty value would not work with "||=" either. As
some environments may not have a compatible command in their PATH (tar
coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break tests without
an exit path to bypass any failing test. This commit changes things so
as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned before

possible to unset any of those values.

REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could
corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel
that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the
toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing
the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values
committed.
The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the
toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the
transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex
happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any
new rows inserted (or deleted).
An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is
a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename
the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible
to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the
underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is

The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding
the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to
adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade
(mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from
the origin, perhaps re-created).
This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set
of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version
of the cluster to-be-upgraded.
The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL
file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the
tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to
poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the
main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib
modules yet (these have more issues like their database names).
A backpatch down to 10 is done, adapting the version checks as this
script needs to be only backward-compatible, so as it becomes possible
to clean up a maximum amount of code within the buildfarm client.

The various ALTER OWNER routines tend to leak memory in
CurrentMemoryContext. That's not a problem when they're only called
once per command; but in this usage where we might be touching many
objects, it can amount to a serious memory leak. Fix that by running
each call in a short-lived context.
(DROP OWNED BY likely has a similar issue, except that you'll probably
run out of lock table space before noticing. REASSIGN is worth fixing
since for most non-table object types, it won't take any lock.)
Back-patch to all supported branches. Unfortunately, in the back
branches this helps to only a limited extent, since the sinval message
queue bloats quite a lot in this usage before commit 3aafc030a,

When a stored expression depends on a user-defined cast, the backend
records the dependency as being on the cast's implementation function
--- or indeed, if there's no cast function involved but just
RelabelType or CoerceViaIO, no dependency is recorded at all. This
is problematic for pg_dump, which is at risk of dumping things in the
wrong order leading to restore failures. Given the lack of previous
reports, the risk isn't that high, but it can be demonstrated if the
cast is used in some view whose rowtype is then used as an input or
result type for some other function. (That results in the view
getting hoisted into the functions portion of the dump, ahead of
the cast.)
A logically bulletproof fix for this would require including the
cast's OID in the parsed form of the expression, whence it could be
extracted by dependency.c, and then the stored dependency would force
pg_dump to do the right thing. Such a change would be fairly invasive,
and certainly not back-patchable. Moreover, since we'd prefer that
an expression using cast syntax be equal() to one doing the same
thing by explicit function call, the cast OID field would have to
have special ignored-by-comparisons semantics, making things messy.
So, let's instead fix this by a very simple hack in pg_dump: change
the object-type priority order so that casts are initially sorted
before functions, immediately after types. This fixes the problem
in a fairly direct way for casts that have no implementation function.
For those that do, the implementation function will be hoisted to just
before the cast by the dependency sorting step, so that we still have
a valid dump order. (I'm not sure that this provides a full guarantee
of no problems; but since it's been like this for many years without
any previous reports, this is probably enough to fix it in practice.)

If a table contains a generated column that's preceded by a dropped
column, dumpTableData_insert failed to account for the dropped
column, and would emit DEFAULT placeholder(s) in the wrong column(s).
This resulted in failures at restore time. The default COPY code path
did not have this bug, likely explaining why it wasn't noticed sooner.
While we're fixing this, we can be a little smarter about the
situation: (1) avoid unnecessarily fetching the values of generated
columns, (2) omit generated columns from the output, too, if we're
using --column-inserts. While these modes aren't expected to be
as high-performance as the COPY path, we might as well be as
efficient as we can; it doesn't add much complexity.

Previously it was impossible to terminate these programs via control-C
while they were prompting for a password. We can fix that trivially
for their initial password prompts, by moving setup of the SIGINT

This fix doesn't permit escaping out of later re-prompts, but those
should be exceedingly rare, since the user's password or the server's
authentication setup would have to have changed meanwhile. We
considered applying a fix similar to commit 46d665bc2, but that

This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all
the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not
dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary
compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added
in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are
designed to fail if that were to happen.
As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects
created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from,
a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary
incompatible change has been done (7c15cef). This will hopefully be
enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a
new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in
pg_upgrade itself in this case (like 0ccfc28 for sql_identifier).
An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which
may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is
not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core
(src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their
tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the
future.

The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally
bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is
safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as
to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno.
Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things
completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors.
To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or
TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases
that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this,
but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a
constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors
in basically identical ways, which they didn't before.
This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places,
which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of
ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not
to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored
errno but neglected to.
In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary
local variables.
There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from
fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch.
While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for
old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced.

Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose,
as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe. I think it's
right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory.
Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls.
Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any
gzclose() call where we care about the error status. (There are
some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous
step.) This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant
error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno.
We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases
are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's
not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required.
Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time
errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself;
and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno.
Back-patch to v12. These mistakes are older than that, but between
the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact
that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need
substantial revision to work in older branches. It doesn't quite
seem worth the trouble given the lack of related field complaints.

The documentation says plainly that \password acts on "the current user"
by default. What it actually acted on, or tried to, was the username
used to log into the current session. This is not the same thing if
one has since done SET ROLE or SET SESSION AUTHENTICATION. Aside from
the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role
doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role.

PostgreSQL 13 and newer versions are directly impacted by that through
the SQL function normalize(), which would cause a call of this function
to write one byte past its allocation if using in input an empty
string after recomposing the string with NFC and NFKC. Older versions
(v10~v12) are not directly affected by this problem as the only code
path using normalization is SASLprep in SCRAM authentication that
forbids the case of an empty string, but let's make the code more robust
anyway there so as any out-of-core callers of this function are covered.
The solution chosen to fix this issue is simple, with the addition of a
fast-exit path if the decomposed string is found as empty. This would
only happen for an empty string as at its lowest level a codepoint would
be decomposed as itself if it has no entry in the decomposition table or
if it has a decomposition size of 0.
Some tests are added to cover this issue in v13~. Note that an empty
string has always been considered as normalized (grammar "IS NF[K]{C,D}
NORMALIZED", through the SQL function is_normalized()) for all the
operations allowed (NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD) since this feature has been
introduced as of 2991ac5. This behavior is unchanged but some tests are
added in v13~ to check after that.
I have also checked "make normalization-check" in src/common/unicode/,
while on it (works in 13~, and breaks in older stable branches
independently of this commit).

libpq collects up to a bufferload of data whenever it reads data from
the socket. When SSL or GSS encryption is requested during startup,
any additional data received with the server's yes-or-no reply
remained in the buffer, and would be treated as already-decrypted data
once the encryption handshake completed. Thus, a man-in-the-middle
with the ability to inject data into the TCP connection could stuff
some cleartext data into the start of a supposedly encryption-protected
database session.
This could probably be abused to inject faked responses to the
client's first few queries, although other details of libpq's behavior
make that harder than it sounds. A different line of attack is to
exfiltrate the client's password, or other sensitive data that might
be sent early in the session. That has been shown to be possible with

As in commits 6301c3ada and e9d9ba2a4, avoid doing repetitive
list_delete_first() operations, since that would be expensive when
there are many files waiting to be unlinked. This is a slightly
larger change than in those cases. We have to keep the list state
valid for calls to AbsorbSyncRequests(), so it's necessary to invent a
"canceled" field instead of immediately deleting PendingUnlinkEntry
entries. Also, because we might not be able to process all the
entries, we need a new list primitive list_delete_first_n().
list_delete_first_n() is almost list_copy_tail(), but it modifies the
input List instead of making a new copy. I found a couple of existing
uses of the latter that could profitably use the new function. (There
might be more, but the other callers look like they probably shouldn't

The purpose of commit 8a54e12a38 was to
fix this, and it sufficed when the PREPARE TRANSACTION completed before
the CIC looked for lock conflicts. Otherwise, things still broke. As
before, in a cluster having used CIC while having enabled prepared
transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to
find rows. It may be necessary to reindex to recover from past
occurrences; REINDEX CONCURRENTLY suffices. Fix this for future index
builds by making CIC wait for arbitrarily-recent prepared transactions
and for ordinary transactions that may yet PREPARE TRANSACTION. As part
of that, have PREPARE TRANSACTION transfer locks to its dummy PGPROC
before it calls ProcArrayClearTransaction(). Back-patch to 9.6 (all
supported versions).

CIC and REINDEX CONCURRENTLY assume backends see their catalog changes
no later than each backend's next transaction start. That failed to
hold when a backend absorbed a relevant invalidation in the middle of
running RelationBuildDesc() on the CIC index. Queries that use the
resulting index can silently fail to find rows. Fix this for future
index builds by making RelationBuildDesc() loop until it finishes
without accepting a relevant invalidation. It may be necessary to

Commit 1b5d797cd4 intended to relax the lock level used to rename
indexes, but inadvertently allowed *any* relation to be renamed with a
lowered lock level, as long as the command is spelled ALTER INDEX.
That's undesirable for other relation types, so retry the operation with
the higher lock if the relation turns out not to be an index.
After this fix, ALTER INDEX <sometable> RENAME will require access
exclusive lock, which it didn't before.

I think when I added this assertion (in commit 8f889b108), I was only
thinking of the use of transformExpressionList at top level of INSERT
and VALUES. But it's also called by transformRowExpr(), which can
certainly occur in an UPDATE targetlist, so it's inappropriate to
suppose that p_multiassign_exprs must be empty. Besides, since the
input is not expected to contain ResTargets, there's no reason it
should contain MultiAssignRefs either. Hence this code need not
be concerned about the state of p_multiassign_exprs, and we should
just drop the assertion.

In pg_basebackup the available values sent from the server

In pg_dump the buffer is bounded by MAXPGPATH, and thus the limit
must be inserted via preprocessor expansion and the buffer increased
by one to account for the terminator. There is no risk of overflow

The grammar of this command run on indexes with column names has always
been authorized by the parser, and it has never been documented.
Since 911e702, it is possible to define opclass parameters as of CREATE
INDEX, which actually broke the old case of ALTER INDEX/TABLE where
relation-level parameters n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited could be
defined for an index (see 76a47c0 and its thread where this point has
been touched, still remained unused). Attempting to do that in v13~
would cause the index to become unusable, as there is a new dedicated
code path to load opclass parameters instead of the relation-level ones
previously available. Note that it is possible to fix things with a
manual catalog update to bring the relation back online.
This commit disables this command for now as the use of column names for
indexes does not make sense anyway, particularly when it comes to index
expressions where names are automatically computed. One way to properly
support this case properly in the future would be to use column numbers
when it comes to indexes, in the same way as ALTER INDEX .. ALTER COLUMN
.. SET STATISTICS.
Partitioned indexes were already blocked, but not indexes. Some tests
are added for both cases.
There was some code in ANALYZE to enforce n_distinct to be used for an
index expression if the parameter was defined, but just remove it for
now until/if there is support for this (note that index-level parameters
never had support in pg_dump either, previously), so this was just dead
code.

During a replication slot creation, an ERROR generated in the same
transaction as the one creating a to-be-exported snapshot would have
left the backend in an inconsistent state, as the associated static
export snapshot state was not being reset on transaction abort, but only
on the follow-up command received by the WAL sender that created this
snapshot on replication slot creation. This would trigger inconsistency
failures if this session tried to export again a snapshot, like during
the creation of a replication slot.
Note that a snapshot export cannot happen in a transaction block, so
there is no need to worry resetting this state for subtransaction
aborts. Also, this inconsistent state would very unlikely show up to
users. For example, one case where this could happen is an
out-of-memory error when building the initial snapshot to-be-exported.

Most of the time this'd be relatively harmless, since once we lock

This fixes a set of issues that cause different breakages or annoyances
when using pg_upgrade's test.sh to do upgrades across different major
versions:
- test.sh is completely broken when using v14 as new version because of
the removal of testtablespace/ as Makefile rule. Older versions of
pg_regress don't support --make-tablespacedir, blocking the creation of
the tablespace. In order to fix that, it is simple enough to create
those directories in the script itself, but only do that when an old
version is involved. This fix is needed on HEAD and REL_14_STABLE.
- The script would fail when using PG <= v11 as old version because of
WITH OIDS relations not supported in v12. In order to fix this, this
steals a method from the buildfarm that uses a DO block to change all
the relations marked as WITH OIDS, allowing pg_upgrade to pass. This is
more portable than using ALTER TABLE queries on the relations causing
issues. This is fixed down to v12, and authored originally by Andrew
Dunstan.
- Not using --extra-float-digits=0 with v11 as old version causes
a lot of diffs in the dumps, making the whole unreadable. This gets
only done when using v11 as old version. This is fixed down to v12.
The buildfarm code uses that already.
Note that the addition of --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access breaks
the script when using v10 or older at initdb time as these got added in
11. 10 would be EOL'd next year and nobody has complained about those
problems yet, so nothing is done about that. This means that this
commit fixes upgrade tests using test.sh with v11 as minimum older
version, up to HEAD, and that it is enough to apply this change down to
12. The old and new dumps still generate diffs, still require manual
checks, and more could be done to reduce the noise, but this allows the
tests to run with a rather minimal amount of them.
I have tested this commit and test.sh with v11 as minimum across all the
branches where this is applied. Note that this commit has no impact on
the normal pg_upgrade test run with a simple "make check".

This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.
Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings
faithfully. There are two changes here that are clear improvements:
* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.
* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.
The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous
IANA zone as representative. Whatever the details, we're just going
to say "if you don't like this mapping, complain to CLDR".

Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC
transactions:
1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC
transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.).
2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal
operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids
(including any 2PC transaction tracked previously).
3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is
the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check
if the cluster is still in recovery or not.
Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any
transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt
data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with
RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in
the same transaction.
As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it
is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after
step 3), so as we can never finish with empty snapshots.
This exists since the introduction of hot standby, so backpatch all the
way down. The window with incorrect snapshots is extremely small, but I

"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"

get_variable_range() would incautiously believe that statistics

Commit 84f5c2908 forgot to consider the possibility that
EnsurePortalSnapshotExists could run inside a subtransaction with
lifespan shorter than the Portal's. In that case, the new active
snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving
a dangling pointer in the Portal, with mayhem ensuing.
To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.
Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar

Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete. This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
LOG: invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be. A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary. But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.
This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts. With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.
Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.
A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.
This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back. In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Calculating degree of a functional dependency may allocate a lot of
memory - we have released mot of the explicitly allocated memory, but
e.g. detoasted varlena values were left behind. That may be an issue,
because we consider a lot of dependencies (all combinations), and the
detoasting may happen for each one again.
Fixed by calling dependency_degree() in a dedicated context, and
resetting it after each call. We only need the calculated dependency
degree, so we don't need to copy anything.

Until now, all extended statistics on a given relation were built in the
same memory context, without resetting. Some of the memory was released
explicitly, but not all of it - for example memory allocated while
detoasting values is hard to free. This is how it worked since extended
statistics were introduced in PostgreSQL 10, but adding support for
extended stats on expressions made the issue somewhat worse as it
increases the number of statistics to build.
Fixed by adding a memory context which gets reset after building each
statistics object (all the statistics kinds included in it). Resetting
it after building each statistics kind would be even better, but it
would require more invasive changes and copying of results, making it
harder to backpatch.

Before commit 84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL
statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot,
because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of
that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within
COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL
statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes,
but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions
within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll
be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot,
keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup.
(VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their
own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself
doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.)
We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within
ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get
into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem.
The possibly-useless extra snapshot-grab is slightly annoying,
but it's no worse than what happened before 84f5c2908.

Backpatch: 12-, just like commit 4228817449.
Casting a value that's already of a type with a specific typmod
to an unspecified typmod doesn't do anything so far as run-time
behavior is concerned. However, it really ought to change the
exposed type of the expression to match. Up to now,
coerce_type_typmod hasn't bothered with that, which creates gotchas
in contexts such as recursive unions. If for example one side of
the union is numeric(18,3), but it needs to be plain numeric to
match the other side, there's no direct way to express that.
This is easy enough to fix, by inserting a RelabelType to update the
exposed type of the expression. However, it's a bit nervous-making
to change this behavior, because it's stood for a really long time.
But no complaints have emerged about 14beta3, so go ahead and

same way that the PHV itself has been (cf. adjust_appendrel_attrs).
Fortunately, enough info is available in the PlaceHolderInfo to make
such translation possible without additional outside data, so we don't

It's possible to execute user-defined SQL in some background processes;
for example, logical replication workers can fire triggers. This opens
the possibility that someone would try to execute LISTEN in such a
context. But since only regular backends ever call
ProcessNotifyInterrupt, no messages would actually be received, and
thus the registered listener would simply prevent the message queue
from being cleaned. Eventually NOTIFY would stop working, which is bad.
Perhaps someday somebody will invent infrastructure to make listening
in a background worker actually useful. In the meantime, forbid it.

Formerly, we sent signals for outgoing NOTIFY messages within
ProcessCompletedNotifies, which was also responsible for sending
relevant ones of those messages to our connected client. It therefore
had to run during the main-loop processing that occurs just before
going idle. This arrangement had two big disadvantages:
* Now that procedures allow intra-command COMMITs, it would be
useful to send NOTIFYs to other sessions immediately at COMMIT
(though, for reasons of wire-protocol stability, we still shouldn't
forward them to our client until end of command).
* Background processes such as replication workers would not send
NOTIFYs at all, since they never execute the client communication
loop. We've had requests to allow triggers running in replication
workers to send NOTIFYs, so that's a problem.
To fix these things, move transmission of outgoing NOTIFY signals
into AtCommit_Notify, where it will happen during CommitTransaction.
Also move the possible call of asyncQueueAdvanceTail there, to
ensure we don't bloat the async SLRU if a background worker sends
many NOTIFYs with no one listening.
We can also drop the call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
allowing ProcessCompletedNotifies to go away entirely. That's
because commit 790026972 added a call of ProcessNotifyInterrupt
adjacent to PostgresMain's call of ProcessCompletedNotifies,
and that does its own call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
meaning that we were uselessly doing two such calls (inside two
separate transactions) whenever inbound notify signals coincided
with an outbound notify. We need only set notifyInterruptPending
to ensure that ProcessNotifyInterrupt runs, and we're done.
The existing documentation suggests that custom background workers
should call ProcessCompletedNotifies if they want to send NOTIFY
messages. To avoid an ABI break in the back branches, reduce it
to an empty routine rather than removing it entirely. Removal
will occur in v15.
Although the problems mentioned above have existed for awhile,
I don't feel comfortable back-patching this any further than v13.
There was quite a bit of churn in adjacent code between 12 and 13.
At minimum we'd have to also backpatch 51004c717, and a good deal
of other adjustment would also be needed, so the benefit-to-risk
ratio doesn't look attractive.

If search_start is greater than the length of the string, we should just

We have long forbidden fetching backwards from a NO SCROLL cursor,
but the prohibition didn't extend to cases in which we rewind the
query altogether and then re-fetch forwards. I think the reason is
that this logic was mainly meant to protect plan nodes that can't
be run in the reverse direction. However, re-reading the query output
is problematic if the query is volatile (which includes SELECT FOR
UPDATE, not just queries with volatile functions): the re-read can
produce different results, which confuses the cursor navigation logic
completely. Another reason for disliking this approach is that some
code paths will either fetch backwards or rewind-and-fetch-forwards
depending on the distance to the target row; so that seemingly
identical use-cases may or may not draw the "cursor can only scan
forward" error. Hence, let's clean things up by disallowing rewind
as well as fetch-backwards in a NO SCROLL cursor.
Ordinarily we'd only make such a definitional change in HEAD, but
there is a third reason to consider this change now. Commit ba2c6d6ce
created some new user-visible anomalies for non-scrollable cursors
WITH HOLD, in that navigation in the cursor result got confused if the
cursor had been partially read before committing. The only good way
to resolve those anomalies is to forbid rewinding such a cursor, which
allows removal of the incorrect cursor state manipulations that
ba2c6d6ce added to PersistHoldablePortal.
To minimize the behavioral change in the back branches (including
v14), refuse to rewind a NO SCROLL cursor only when it has a holdStore,
ie has been held over from a previous transaction due to WITH HOLD.
This should avoid breaking most applications that have been sloppy
about whether to declare cursors as scrollable. We'll enforce the
prohibition across-the-board beginning in v15.

If we copy data-modifying CTEs from the original query to a replacement

neglected to propagate hasRecursive, though that's only cosmetic at

A difficulty arises if the rule action is an INSERT...SELECT. We
attach the original query's RTEs and CTEs to the sub-SELECT Query, but
data-modifying CTEs are only allowed to appear in the topmost Query.
For the moment, throw an error in such cases. It would probably be

Modern POSIX seems to require strtod() to accept "-NaN", but there's
nothing about NaN in SUSv2, and some of our oldest buildfarm members
don't like it. Let's try writing it as -'NaN' instead; that seems
to produce the same result, at least on Intel hardware.
Per buildfarm.
The IEEE 754 standard allows a wide variety of bit patterns for NaNs,
of which at least two ("NaN" and "-NaN") are pretty easy to produce
from SQL on most machines. This is problematic because our btree
comparison functions deem all NaNs to be equal, but our float hash
functions know nothing about NaNs and will happily produce varying
hash codes for them. That causes unexpected results from queries
that hash a column containing different NaN values. It could also
produce unexpected lookup failures when using a hash index on a
float column, i.e. "WHERE x = 'NaN'" will not find all the rows
it should.
To fix, special-case NaN in the float hash functions, not too much
unlike the existing special case that forces zero and minus zero
to hash the same. I arranged for the most vanilla sort of NaN
(that coming from the C99 NAN constant) to still have the same
hash code as before, to reduce the risk to existing hash indexes.
I dithered about whether to back-patch this into stable branches,
but ultimately decided to do so. It's a clear improvement for
queries that hash internally. If there is anybody who has -NaN
in a hash index, they'd be well advised to re-index after applying
this patch ... but the misbehavior if they don't will not be much
worse than the misbehavior they had before.

the walsender was exiting due to an error before that. Now, the walsender
was erroring out before reaching the 'streaming' state because it tries to
acquire the slot before the previous walsender has exited.
In passing, improve the die messages so that it is easier to investigate
the failures in the future if any.

There's long been a "TODO: there might be some value in caching

but we hadn't gotten around to checking what it was costing us to
repetitively look up type names. It turns out that when dumping the
current regression database, about 10% of the total number of queries
issued are duplicative format_type() queries. However, Hubert Depesz
Lubaczewski reported a not-unusual case where these account for over
half of the queries issued by pg_dump. Individually these queries
aren't expensive, but when network lag is a factor, they add up to a

If the system crashed between CREATE TABLESPACE and the next checkpoint,
the result could be some files in the tablespace unexpectedly containing
no rows. Affected files would be those for which the system did not
write WAL; see the wal_skip_threshold documentation. Before v13, a
different set of conditions governed the writing of WAL; see v12's
<sect2 id="populate-pitr">. (The v12 conditions were broader in some
ways and narrower in others.) Users may want to audit non-default
tablespaces for unexpected short files. The bug could have truncated an
index without affecting the associated table, and reindexing the index
would fix that particular problem.
This fixes the bug by making create_tablespace_directories() more like
TablespaceCreateDbspace(). create_tablespace_directories() was
recursively removing tablespace contents, reasoning that WAL redo would
recreate everything removed that way. That assumption holds for other
wal_level values. Under wal_level=minimal, the old approach could
delete files for which no other copy existed. Back-patch to 9.6 (all

This fix works a bit differently from other index AMs, in that the

Pengchengliu reported an assertion failure in a parallel woker while
performing a parallel scan using an overflowed snapshot. The proximate
cause is that TransactionXmin was set to an incorrect value. The
underlying cause is incorrect snapshot handling in parallel.c.
In particular, InitializeParallelDSM() was unconditionally calling
GetTransactionSnapshot(), because I (rhaas) mistakenly thought that
was always retrieving an existing snapshot whereas, at isolation
levels less than REPEATABLE READ, it's actually taking a new one. So
instead do this only at higher isolation levels where there actually
is a single snapshot for the whole transaction.
By itself, this is not a sufficient fix, because we still need to
guarantee that TransactionXmin gets set properly in the workers. The
easiest way to do that seems to be to install the leader's active
snapshot as the transaction snapshot if the leader did not serialize a
transaction snapshot. This doesn't affect the results of future
GetTrasnactionSnapshot() calls since those have to take a new snapshot
anyway; what we care about is the side effect of setting TransactionXmin.

Commit 325f2ec555 introduced pg_class.relwrite to skip operations on
tables created as part of a heap rewrite during DDL. It links such
transient heaps to the original relation OID via this new field in
pg_class but forgot to do anything about toast tables. So, logical
decoding was not able to skip operations on internally created toast
tables. This leads to an error when we tried to decode the WAL for the
next operation for which it appeared that there is a toast data where
actually it didn't have any toast data.
To fix this, we set pg_class.relwrite for internally created toast tables

Regexps like "(.){0}...\1" drew an "invalid backreference number".
That's not unreasonable on its face, since the capture group will
never be matched if it's iterated zero times. However, other engines
such as Perl's don't complain about this, nor do we throw an error for
related cases such as "(.)|\1", even though that backref can never
succeed either. Also, if the zero-iterations case happens at runtime
rather than compile time --- say, "(x)*...\1" when there's no "x" to
be found --- that's not an error, we just deem the backref to not
match. Making this even less defensible, no error was thrown for
nested cases such as "((.)){0}...\2"; and to add insult to injury,
those cases could result in assertion failures instead. (It seems
that nothing especially bad happened in non-assert builds, though.)
Let's just fix it so that no error is thrown and instead the backref
is deemed to never match, so that compile-time detection of no
iterations behaves the same as run-time detection.
Per report from Mark Dilger. This appears to be an aboriginal error
in Spencer's library, so back-patch to all supported versions.
Pre-v14, it turns out to also be necessary to back-patch one aspect of
commits cb76fbd7e/00116dee5, namely to create capture-node subREs with
the begin/end states of their subexpressions, not the current lp/rp
of the outer parseqatom invocation. Otherwise delsub complains that
we're trying to disconnect a state from itself. This is a bit scary
but code examination shows that it's safe: in the pre-v14 code, if we
want to wrap iteration around the subexpression, the first thing we do
is overwrite the atom's begin/end fields with new states. So the
bogus values didn't survive long enough to be used for anything, except
if no iteration is required, in which case it doesn't matter.

The recursion in cdissect() was careless about clearing match data
for capturing parentheses after rejecting a partial match. This
could allow a later back-reference to succeed when by rights it
should fail for lack of a defined referent.
To fix, think a little more rigorously about what the contract
between different levels of cdissect's recursion needs to be.
With the right spec, we can fix this using fewer rather than more
resets of the match data; the key decision being that a failed
sub-match is now explicitly responsible for clearing any matches
it may have set.
There are enough other cross-checks and optimizations in the code
that it's not especially easy to exhibit this problem; usually, the
match will fail as-expected. Plus, regexps that are even potentially
vulnerable are most likely user errors, since there's just not much
point in writing a back-ref that doesn't always have a referent.
These facts perhaps explain why the issue hasn't been detected,
even though it's almost certainly a couple of decades old.

WAL records may span multiple segments, but XLogWrite() does not
wait for the entire record to be written out to disk before
creating archive status files. Instead, as soon as the last WAL page of
the segment is written, the archive status file is created, and the
archiver may process it. If PostgreSQL crashes before it is able to
write and flush the rest of the record (in the next WAL segment), the
wrong version of the first segment file lingers in the archive, which
causes operations such as point-in-time restores to fail.
To fix this, keep track of records that span across segments and ensure
that segments are only marked ready-for-archival once such records have
been completely written to disk.
This has always been wrong, so backpatch all the way back.

After detecting a sub-match "dissect" failure (i.e., a backref match
failure) in the i'th sub-match of an iteration node, we should proceed
by adjusting the attempted length of the i'th submatch. As coded,
though, these functions changed the attempted length of the *last*
sub-match, and only after exhausting all possibilities for that would
they back up to adjust the next-to-last sub-match, and then the
second-from-last, etc; all of which is wasted effort, since only
changing the start or length of the i'th sub-match can possibly make
it succeed. This oversight creates the possibility for exponentially
bad performance. Fortunately the problem is masked in most cases by
optimizations or constraints applied elsewhere; which explains why
we'd not noticed it before. But it is possible to reach the problem
with fairly simple, if contrived, regexps.

Recursion into the FILTER clause was mis-implemented, such that a
relevant Var or Aggref at the very top of the FILTER clause would
be ignored. (Of course, that'd have to be a plain boolean Var or
boolean-returning aggregate.) The consequence would be
mis-identification of the correct semantic level of the aggregate,
which could lead to not-per-spec query behavior. If the FILTER
expression is an aggregate, this could also lead to failure to issue
an expected "aggregate function calls cannot be nested" error, which
would likely result in a core dump later on, since the planner and
executor aren't expecting such cases to appear.
The root cause is that commit b560ec1b0 blindly copied some code
that assumed it's recursing into a List, and thus didn't examine the
top-level node. To forestall questions about why this call doesn't
look like the others, as well as possible future copy-and-paste
mistakes, let's change all three check_agg_arguments_walker calls in
check_agg_arguments, even though only the one for the filter clause
is really broken.

If recordDependencyOnCurrentExtension is invoked on a pre-existing,
free-standing object during an extension update script, that object
will become owned by the extension. In our current code this is
possible in three cases:
* Replacing a "shell" type or operator.
* CREATE OR REPLACE overwriting an existing object.
* ALTER TYPE SET, ALTER DOMAIN SET, and ALTER OPERATOR SET.
The first of these cases is intentional behavior, as noted by the
existing comments for GenerateTypeDependencies. It seems like
appropriate behavior for CREATE OR REPLACE too; at least, the obvious
alternatives are not better. However, the fact that it happens during
ALTER is an artifact of trying to share code (GenerateTypeDependencies
and makeOperatorDependencies) between the CREATE and ALTER cases.
Since an extension script would be unlikely to ALTER an object that
didn't already belong to the extension, this behavior is not very
troubling for the direct target object ... but ALTER TYPE SET will
recurse to dependent domains, and it is very uncool for those to
become owned by the extension if they were not already.
Let's fix this by redefining the ALTER cases to never change extension
membership, full stop. We could minimize the behavioral change by
only changing the behavior when ALTER TYPE SET is recursing to a
domain, but that would complicate the code and it does not seem like
a better definition.
Per bug #17144 from Alex Kozhemyakin. Back-patch to v13 where ALTER
TYPE SET was added. (The other cases are older, but since they only
affect the directly-named object, there's not enough of a problem to
justify changing the behavior further back.)

In OpenSSL there are two types of BIO's (I/O abstractions):
source/sink and filters. A source/sink BIO is a source and/or
sink of data, ie one acting on a socket or a file. A filter
BIO takes a stream of input from another BIO and transforms it.
In order for BIO_find_type() to be able to traverse the chain
of BIO's and correctly find all BIO's of a certain type they
shall have the type bit set accordingly, source/sink BIO's
(what PostgreSQL implements) use BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK and
filter BIO's use BIO_TYPE_FILTER. In addition to these, file
descriptor based BIO's should have the descriptor bit set,
BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR.
The PostgreSQL implementation didn't set the type bits, which
went unnoticed for a long time as it's only really relevant
for code auditing the OpenSSL installation, or doing similar

This fixes a bug in simplehash.h which caused an incorrect size mask to be
used when the hash table grew to SH_MAX_SIZE (2^32). The code was
incorrectly setting the size mask to 0 when the hash tables reached the
maximum possible number of buckets. This would result always trying to
use the 0th bucket causing an infinite loop of trying to grow the hash
table due to there being too many collisions.
Seemingly it's not that common for simplehash tables to ever grow this big
as this bug dates back to v10 and nobody seems to have noticed it before.
However, probably the most likely place that people would notice it would
be doing a large in-memory Hash Aggregate with something close to at least
2^31 groups.
After this fix, the code now works correctly with up to within 98% of 2^32
groups and will fail with the following error when trying to insert any
more items into the hash table:
ERROR: hash table size exceeded
However, the work_mem (or hash_mem_multiplier in newer versions) settings
will generally cause Hash Aggregates to spill to disk long before reaching
that many groups. The minimal test case I did took a work_mem setting of
over 192GB to hit the bug.
simplehash hash tables are used in a few other places such as Bitmap Index
Scans, however, again the size that the hash table can become there is
also limited to work_mem and it would take a relation of around 16TB
(2^31) pages and a very large work_mem setting to hit this. With smaller
work_mem values the table would become lossy and never grow large enough
to hit the problem.

then testing if the reverse conversion produced the original value.
That's perfectly fine, except that it caused a test failure on

Instead, do these tests by comparing against PG_INT16/32_MIN/MAX. That

This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a
numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is
less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a
division-by-zero error.
The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its
input by 10^exp, which it produced using power_var_int(). However, the
underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the
result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s
only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000,
but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller,
requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to
compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp
to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication,
division or rounding.

This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising
numbers to very large powers.
Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power,
the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only
cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int().
Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the
logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling
to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases,
checking for integer powers there.
Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute
value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should
approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for
sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1
instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being
calculated for the final full-precision calculation:
local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8
The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the
number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the
estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact
that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE
(1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their
sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by
forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative.
It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000),
since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to
ensure an accurate result.
Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(),
so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the
result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code
already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow
errors.

Buildfarm shows that this test has a further failure mode when a
checkpoint starts earlier than expected, so we detect a "checkpoint
completed" line that's not the one we want. Change the config to try
and prevent this.

pg_verifybackup needs by default pg_waldump to check after a range of
WAL segments required for a backup, except if --no-parse-wal is
specified. The code checked for the presence of the binary pg_waldump
in an installation and reported an error, but it forgot to properly
exit(). This could lead to confusing errors reported.

If a file is truncated, we must update minRecoveryPoint. Once a file is
truncated, there's no going back; it would not be safe to stop recovery
at a point earlier than that anymore.
Commit 7bffc9b7bf changed xact_redo_commit() so that it updates
minRecoveryPoint on truncation, but forgot to change xact_redo_abort().
Back-patch to all supported versions.

This changes the behavior of examining the pg_file_settings view after
changing a config option that requires restart. The user needs to know
that any change of such options does not take effect until a restart,
and this worked correctly if the line is edited without removing it.
However, for the case where the line is removed altogether, the flag
doesn't get set, because a flag was only set in set_config_option, but
that's not called for lines removed. Repair.

The error messages using the word "non-negative" are confusing
because it's ambiguous about whether it accepts zero or not.
This commit improves those error messages by replacing it with
less ambiguous word like "greater than zero" or
"greater than or equal to zero".
Also this commit added the note about the word "non-negative" to
the error message style guide, to help writing the new error messages.
When postgres_fdw option fetch_size was set to zero, previously
the error message "fetch_size requires a non-negative integer value"
was reported. This error message was outright buggy. Therefore
back-patch to all supported versions where such buggy error message
could be thrown.

Add pg_resetxlog -u option to set the oldest xid in pg_control.
Previously -x set this value be -2 billion less than the -x value.
However, this causes the server to immediately scan all relation's
relfrozenxid so it can advance pg_control's oldest xid to be inside the
autovacuum_freeze_max_age range, which is inefficient and might disrupt
diagnostic recovery. pg_upgrade will use this option to better create
the new cluster to match the old cluster.

The point of introducing the hash_mem_multiplier GUC was to let users
reproduce the old behavior of hash aggregation, i.e. that it could use
more than work_mem at need. However, the implementation failed to get
the job done on Win64, where work_mem is clamped to 2GB to protect
various places that calculate memory sizes using "long int". As
written, the same clamp was applied to hash_mem. This resulted in
severe performance regressions for queries requiring a bit more than
2GB for hash aggregation, as they now spill to disk and there's no
way to stop that.
Getting rid of the work_mem restriction seems like a good idea, but
it's a big job and could not conceivably be back-patched. However,
there's only a fairly small number of places that are concerned with
the hash_mem value, and it turns out to be possible to remove the
restriction there without too much code churn or any ABI breaks.
So, let's do that for now to fix the regression, and leave the
larger task for another day.
This patch does introduce a bit more infrastructure that should help
with the larger task, namely pg_bitutils.h support for working with
size_t values.
Per gripe from Laurent Hasson. Back-patch to v13 where the
behavior change came in.

This commit changes the startup process in the standby server so that
it handles the interrupt signals after waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval
on the latch and resetting it, before entering another wait on the latch.
This change causes the standby server to promptly handle interrupt signals.
Otherwise, previously, there was the case where the standby needs to
wait extra five seconds to shutdown when the shutdown request arrived
while the startup process was waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval
on the latch.
