30652b356d Fix mismatched deallocation functions
In fe_memutils.h, we have various allocation functions beginning with
either pg_ or p.  The pg_ functions have a matching pg_free() for
freeing memory, while the p functions use pfree().  In some cases, we
were allocating memory with one set of functions while using the wrong
deallocation functions.  This creates a tiny bit of mental overhead
when reading code.  Matching up allocation and deallocation functions
makes it easier to analyze memory handling in a code path.

64797ad97d Fix ALTER DOMAIN VALIDATE CONSTRAINT locking
Commit 16a0039dc0 reduced the lock level for ALTER DOMAIN ...
VALIDATE CONSTRAINT from ShareLock to ShareUpdateExclusiveLock.
However, that change was unsafe. If DML on tables using the domain had
already started and initialized domain constraint checks before a NOT
VALID constraint was added, it could still insert or update rows that
violated the new constraint.

This commit reverts commit 16a0039dc0 so that ALTER DOMAIN ...
VALIDATE CONSTRAINT once again acquires ShareLock on relations using
the domain. Also add an isolation test covering this case.

0f24332aeb Fix NOTIFY wakeups for pre-commit LISTEN entries.
Commit 282b1cde9 made SignalBackends() ignore ListenerEntry entries
whose "listening" flag said that the listener was not yet committed.
That will be true for a new listener that has already registered its
queue position, but has not yet reached AtCommit_Notify().  If another
backend notifies the same channel in that window, SignalBackends()
would directly advance the new listener's queue position, causing it
to miss message(s).  Really this is a definitional question: is a new
listener active as of PreCommit, or as of AtCommit?  But it seems to
make more sense to expect that the new listener will see all messages
after its initially-registered queue position, especially since the
direct-advance logic is supposed to be an optimization that doesn't
affect semantics.

Fix this by treating all channel entries as valid wakeup targets.
Rename the "listening" flag to removeOnAbort to reflect its remaining
purpose: identifying staged LISTEN entries that abort cleanup must
remove.

While we're here, remove an obsolete test case added by 282b1cde9.
The check for "ChannelHashAddListener array growth" was meant to
exercise code that never made it into the committed patch, so now
it's just a waste of test cycles.

2fbb21170e Avoid orphaned objects dependencies
Concurrent DDL can leave behind objects referencing other objects that
no longer exist. This can happen if an object is dropped, while a new
object that depends on it is created concurrently. For example:

session 1: BEGIN; CREATE FUNCTION myschema.myfunc() ...;
session 2: DROP SCHEMA myschema;
session 1: COMMIT;

DROP SCHEMA does check that there are no objects dependending on the
schema being dropped, but it does not see objects being concurrently
created by other sessions. Even if it did, this scenario would still
fail:

session 1: BEGIN: DROP SCHEMA myschema;
session 2: CREATE FUNCTION myschema.myfunc() ...;
session 1: COMMIT;

When the DROP SCHEMA runs, the schema was empty, but the new function
is created in it before the dropping transaction completes. The CREATE
FUNCTION does not see that the schema is concurrently being dropped.

In both of these scenarios, the function is left behind in the schema
that no longer exists.

To fix, acquire AccessShareLock on all referenced objects when
recording dependencies. This conflicts with the AccessExclusiveLock
taken by DROP, preventing the race. After acquiring the lock, verify
that the object still exists, and if it was dropped concurrently,
report an error. We already had such a mechanism for shared
dependencies, but for some reason we didn't do it for in-database
dependendies.

Ideally the locks would be acquired much earlier when creating a new
object, but that will require modifying a lot of callers. This check
while recording the dependency is a nice wholesale protection, and
even if we change all the CREATE commands to acquire locks earlier,
it's still good to have this as a backstop to catch any cases where we
forgot to do so.

The patch adds a few tests for some cases that left behind orphaned
objects before this. It also adds a test for roles, which already had
such protection, although that test is partially disabled because the
error message includes an OID which is not predictable.

6aa26be288 Fix calculation of members_size in pg_get_multixact_stats()
pg_get_multixact_stats() uses members_size to report the amount of
storage used by the currently retained multixact members.  However,
MultiXactOffsetStorageSize() divided the member count by the number of
members per storage group before multiplying by the group size, so it
was rounding down its result and incorrectly reported zero when there
were few retained members.  The calculation is changed to calculate the
same based on the member count.

While on it, this fixes a different issue in the isolation test
multixact-stats.  Three fields were defined for checks related to the
oldest offset values, but were not used.  The offsets existed in an
older version of the patch than what has been committed.  These are
replaced by checks for members_size, checking the new calculation
formula.

410013d2a5 Use "concurrent delete" in serialization error for TM_Deleted cases
In ExecLockRows() and ri_LockPKTuple(), the TM_Deleted code path was
using the same "could not serialize access due to concurrent update"
message as the TM_Updated path.  Use "concurrent delete" instead, since
the tuple was deleted, not updated.  The ExecLockRows() instance was
likely a copy-paste error per Andres; the ri_LockPKTuple() instance
was carried over from the same pattern in commit 2da86c1ef9.

Update affected isolation test expected files accordingly and add
a new test to fk-concurrent-pk-upd.spec with concurrent delete of the
PK row.

The ExecLockRows() change is master-only for lack of user complaints
and to avoid breaking anything that might match on the error text.

2da86c1ef9 Add fast path for foreign key constraint checks
Add a fast-path optimization for foreign key checks that bypasses SPI
by directly probing the unique index on the referenced table.
Benchmarking shows ~1.8x speedup for bulk FK inserts (int PK/int FK,
1M rows, where PK table and index are cached).

The fast path applies when the referenced table is not partitioned and
the constraint does not involve temporal semantics.  Otherwise, the
existing SPI path is used.

This optimization covers only the referential check trigger
(RI_FKey_check).  The action triggers (CASCADE, SET NULL, SET DEFAULT,
RESTRICT, NO ACTION) must find rows on the FK side to modify, which
requires a table scan with no guaranteed index available, and then
execute DML against those rows through the full executor path including
any triggered actions.  Replicating that without substantial code
duplication is not feasible, so those triggers remain on the SPI path.
Extending the fast path to action triggers remains possible as future
work if the necessary infrastructure is built.

The new ri_FastPathCheck() function extracts the FK values, builds scan
keys, performs an index scan, and locks the matching tuple with
LockTupleKeyShare via ri_LockPKTuple(), which handles the RI-specific
subset of table_tuple_lock() results.

If the locked tuple was reached by chasing an update chain
(tmfd.traversed), recheck_matched_pk_tuple() verifies that the key
is still the same, emulating EvalPlanQual.

The scan uses GetTransactionSnapshot(), matching what the SPI path
uses (via _SPI_execute_plan pushing GetTransactionSnapshot() as the
active snapshot).  Under READ COMMITTED this is a fresh snapshot;
under REPEATABLE READ / SERIALIZABLE it is the frozen transaction-
start snapshot, so PK rows committed after the transaction started
are not visible.

The ri_CheckPermissions() function performs schema USAGE and table
SELECT checks, matching what the SPI path gets implicitly through
the executor's permission checks.  The fast path also switches to
the PK table owner's security context (with SECURITY_NOFORCE_RLS)
before the index probe, matching the SPI path where the query runs
as the table owner.

ri_HashCompareOp() is adjusted to handle cross-type equality operators
(e.g. int48eq for int4 PK / int8 FK) which can appear in conpfeqop.
The existing code asserted same-type operators only, which was correct
for its existing callers (ri_KeysEqual compares same-type FK column
values via ff_eq_oprs), but the fast path is the first caller to pass
pf_eq_oprs, which can be cross-type.

Per-key metadata (compare entries, operator procedures, strategy
numbers) is cached in RI_ConstraintInfo via
ri_populate_fastpath_metadata() on first use, eliminating repeated
calls to ri_HashCompareOp() and get_op_opfamily_properties().
conindid and pk_is_partitioned are also cached at constraint load
time, avoiding per-invocation syscache lookups and the need to open
pk_rel before deciding whether the fast path applies.

New regression tests cover RLS bypass and ACL enforcement for the
fast-path permission checks.  New isolation tests exercise concurrent
PK updates under both READ COMMITTED and REPEATABLE READ.

7c64d56fd9 Remove isolation test lock-stats
This test is proving to be unstable in the CI for Windows, at least.
The origin of the issue is that the deadlock_timeout requests may not
be processed, causing the lock stats to not be updated.  This could be
mitigated by making the hardcoded sleep longer, however this would cost
in runtime on fast machines.  On slow machines, there is no guarantee
that an augmented sleep would be enough.

An isolation test may not be the best method to write this test
(TAP test with injection point with a NOTICE+wait_for_log before
processing the deadlock_timeout request should remove the need of a
sleep).  As we are late in the release cycle, I am removing the test for
now to keep the CI and the buildfarm a maximum stable.  Let's revisit
this part later.

4019f725f5 Add support for lock statistics in pgstats
This commit adds a new stats kind, called PGSTAT_KIND_LOCK, implementing
statistics for lock tags, as reported by pg_locks.  The implementation
is fixed-sized, as the data is caped based on the number of lock tags in
LockTagType.

The new statistics kind records the following fields, providing insight
regarding lock behavior, while avoiding impact on performance-critical
code paths (such as fast-path lock acquisition):
- waits and wait_time: respectively track the number of times a lock
required waiting and the total time spent acquiring it.  These metrics
are only collected once a lock is successfully acquired and after
deadlock_timeout has been exceeded.
fastpath_exceeded: counts how often a lock could not be acquired via
the fast path due to the max_locks_per_transaction slot limits.

A new view called pg_stat_lock can be used to access this data, coupled
with a SQL function called pg_stat_get_lock().

Bump stat file format PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.

4b760a181a Remove faulty Assert in partitioned INSERT...ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.
Commit f16241bef mistakenly supposed that INSERT...ON CONFLICT DO
UPDATE rejects partitioned target tables.  (This may have been
accurate when the patch was written, but it was already obsolete
when committed.)  Hence, there's an assertion that we can't see
ItemPointerIndicatesMovedPartitions() in that path, but the assertion
is triggerable.

Some other places throw error if they see a moved-across-partitions
tuple, but there seems no need for that here, because if we just retry
then we get the same behavior as in the update-within-partition case,
as demonstrated by the new isolation test.  So fix by deleting the
faulty Assert.  (The fact that this is the fix doubtless explains
why we've heard no field complaints: the behavior of a non-assert
build is fine.)

The TM_Deleted case contains a cargo-culted copy of the same Assert,
which I also deleted to avoid confusion, although I believe that one
is actually not triggerable.

Per our code coverage report, neither the TM_Updated nor the
TM_Deleted case were reached at all by existing tests, so this
patch adds tests for both.

889676a0d5 Fix rowmark handling for non-relation RTEs during executor init
Commit cbc127917e introduced tracking of unpruned relids to skip
processing of pruned partitions. PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids is
computed as the difference between PlannerGlobal.allRelids and
prunableRelids, but allRelids only contains RTE_RELATION entries.
This means non-relation RTEs (VALUES, subqueries, CTEs, etc.) are
never included in unprunableRelids, and consequently not in
es_unpruned_relids at runtime.

As a result, rowmarks attached to non-relation RTEs were incorrectly
skipped during executor initialization. This affects any DML statement
that has rowmarks on such RTEs, including MERGE with a VALUES or
subquery source, and UPDATE/DELETE with joins against subqueries or
CTEs. When a concurrent update triggers an EPQ recheck, the missing
rowmark leads to incorrect results.

Fix by restricting the es_unpruned_relids membership check to
RTE_RELATION entries only, since partition pruning only applies to
actual relations. Rowmarks for other RTE kinds are now always
processed.

282b1cde9d Optimize LISTEN/NOTIFY via shared channel map and direct advancement.
This patch reworks LISTEN/NOTIFY to avoid waking backends that have
no need to process the notification messages we just sent.

The primary change is to create a shared hash table that tracks
which processes are listening to which channels (where a "channel" is
defined by a database OID and channel name).  This allows a notifying
process to accurately determine which listeners are interested,
replacing the previous weak approximation that listeners in other
databases couldn't be interested.

Secondly, if a listener is known not to be interested and is
currently stopped at the old queue head, we avoid waking it at all
and just directly advance its queue pointer past the notifications
we inserted.

These changes permit very significant improvements (integer multiples)
in NOTIFY throughput, as well as a noticeable reduction in latency,
when there are many listeners but only a few are interested in any
specific message.  There is no improvement for the simplest case where
every listener reads every message, but any loss seems below the noise
level.

97b101776c Add pg_get_multixact_stats()
This new function exposes at SQL level some information related to
multixacts, not available until now.  This data is useful for monitoring
purposes, especially for workloads that make a heavy use of multixacts:
- num_mxids, number of MultiXact IDs in use.
- num_members, number of member entries in use.
- members_size, bytes used by num_members in pg_multixact/members/.
- oldest_multixact: oldest MultiXact still needed.

This patch has been originally proposed when MultiXactOffset was still
32 bits, to monitor wraparound.  This part is not relevant anymore since
bd8d9c9bdf that has widen MultiXactOffset to 64 bits.  The monitoring
of disk space usage for the members is still relevant.

Some tests are added to check this function, in the shape of one
isolation test with concurrent transactions that take a ROW SHARE lock,
and some SQL tests for pg_read_all_stats.  Some documentation is added
to explain some patterns that can come from the information provided by
the function.

like the ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command, new partitions are

This commit comprises a quite naive implementation which works in a single
process and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all
the operations, including the tuple routing.  This is why the new DDL command
can't be recommended for large, partitioned tables under high load.  However,
this implementation comes in handy in certain cases, even as it is.  Also, it
could serve as a foundation for future implementations with less locking and
possibly parallelism.

f2e4cc4279 Implement ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command
This new DDL command merges several partitions into a single partition of the
target table.  The target partition is created using the new
createPartitionTable() function with the parent partition as the template.

This commit comprises a quite naive implementation which works in a single
process and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all
the operations, including the tuple routing.  This is why this new DDL
command can't be recommended for large partitioned tables under a high load.
However, this implementation comes in handy in certain cases, even as it is.
Also, it could serve as a foundation for future implementations with less
locking and possibly parallelism.

e429c3cecb Move isolation test index-killtuples to src/test/modules/index/
index-killtuples test depends on the contrib modules btree_gin and
btree_gist, which would not be installed in a temporary installation
with an execution of the main isolation test suite like this one:
make -C src/test/isolation/ check

src/test/isolation/ should not depend on contrib/, and EXTRA_INSTALL has
no effect in this case as this test suite uses its own Makefile rules.

This commit moves index-killtuples into its new module, called "index",
whose name looks like the best fit there can be as it depends on more
than one index AM.  btree_gin and btree_gist are now pulled in the
temporary installation with EXTRA_INSTALL.  The test is renamed to
"killtuples", for simplicity.

572c40ba94 Issue a NOTICE if a created function depends on any temp objects.
We don't have an official concept of temporary functions.  (You can
make one explicitly in pg_temp, but then you have to explicitly
schema-qualify it on every call.)  However, until now we were quite
laissez-faire about whether a non-temporary function could depend on
a temporary object, such as a temp table or view.  If one does,
it will silently go away at end of session, due to the automatic
DROP ... CASCADE on the session's temporary objects.  People have
complained that that's surprising; however, we can't really forbid
it because other people (including our own regression tests) rely
on being able to do it.  Let's compromise by emitting a NOTICE
at CREATE FUNCTION time.  This is somewhat comparable to our
ancient practice of emitting a NOTICE when forcing a view to
become temp because it depends on temp tables.

Along the way, refactor recordDependencyOnExpr() so that the
dependencies of an expression can be combined with other
dependencies, instead of being emitted separately and perhaps
duplicatively.

We should probably make the implementation of temp-by-default
views use the same infrastructure used here, but that's for
another patch.  It's unclear whether there are any other object
classes that deserve similar treatment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fill testing gap for possible referential integrity violation
This commit adds a missing isolation test for (non-PERIOD) foreign keys.
With REPEATABLE READ, one transaction can insert a referencing row while
another deletes the referenced row, and both see a valid state.  But
after they have committed, the table violates referential integrity.

If the INSERT precedes the DELETE, we use a crosscheck snapshot to see
the just-added row, so that the DELETE can raise a foreign key error.
You can see the table violate referential integrity if you change
ri_restrict to pass false for detectNewRows to ri_PerformCheck.

A crosscheck snapshot is not needed when the DELETE comes first, because
the INSERT's trigger takes a FOR KEY SHARE lock that sees the row now
marked for deletion, waits for that transaction to commit, and raises a
serialization error.  I (Paul) added a test for that too though.

We already have a similar test (in ri-triggers.spec) for SERIALIZABLE
snapshot isolation showing that you can implement foreign keys with just
pl/pgSQL, but that test does nothing to validate ri_triggers.c.  We also
have tests (in fk-snapshot.spec) for other concurrency scenarios, but
not this one: we test concurrently deleting both the referencing and
referenced row, when the constraint activates a cascade/set null action.
But those tests don't exercise ri_restrict, and the consequence of
omitting a crosscheck comparison is different: a serialization failure,
not a referential integrity violation.

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

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

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

f57e214d1c Add isolation test for TOAST value reuse during CLUSTER
This test exercises the corner case in toast_save_datum() where CLUSTER
operations encounter duplicated TOAST references, reusing the existing
TOAST data instead of creating redundant copies.

During table rewrites like CLUSTER, both live and recently-dead versions
of a row may reference the same TOAST value.  When copying the second or
later version of such a row, the system checks if a TOAST value already
exists in the new TOAST table using toastrel_valueid_exists().  If
found, toast_save_datum() sets data_todo = 0 so as redundant data is not
stored, ensuring only one copy of the TOAST value exists in the new
table.

The test relies on a combination of UPDATE, CLUSTER, and checks of the
TOAST values used before and after the relation rewrite, to make sure
that the same values are reused across the rewrite.

This is a continuation of 69f75d6714 to make sure that this corner
case keeps working should we mess with this area of the code.

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

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

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

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

3db61db48e Change the names generated for child foreign key constraints.
When a foreign key constraint is placed on a partitioned table, we
actually make two pg_constraint entries associated with that table.
(I have my doubts about the wisdom of that, but it's been like that
since v12 and post-feature-freeze is no time to be messing with such
entrenched decisions.)  The second "child" entry always had a name
generated according to the default rule, "table_column(s)_fkey[nnn]",
even if the primary entry had an unrelated user-specified name.  The
trouble with doing that is that the default name could collide with
the user-specified name of some other constraint on the same table.
While we were willing to adjust the generated name to avoid
collisions, that only helps if it's made second; if it's made first
then creation of the other constraint would fail, potentially causing
dump/reload or pg_upgrade failures.

The core of the problem here is that we're infringing on user
namespace, so I doubt that there's any 100% solution other than to
find a way to not need the "child" entry.  In the meantime, it seems
like it'd be an improvement to make the child's name be the name of
the parent constraint with an underscore and digit(s) appended as
necessary to make it unique.  This rule can in theory fail in the same
way, but it seems much less probable; for one thing, this rule is
guaranteed not to match primary entries having auto-generated names.
(While an auto-generated primary name isn't user-specified to begin
with, it acts like that during dump/reload, so collisions against such
names are definitely possible.)

An additional bonus, visible in some of the regression test cases
that change here, arises from the fact that some error messages
cite the child constraint's name not the parent's.  In the
previous approach the two names could be completely unrelated,
leading to user confusion --- the more so since psql's \d command
hides child constraints.  With this approach it's hopefully much
clearer which constraint-the-user-knows-about is failing.

However, that does mean that there's user-visible behavior change
occurring here, making it seem like not something to back-patch.
I feel it's not too late for v18, though.

increased by about a factor of 10 after commit 0dca5d68d.  That's
causing some of our buildfarm animals to fail with a timeout.

The reason for the increased time is that now we are re-planning
some intentionally-non-inlineable SQL functions on every execution,
where the previous coding held onto the original plans throughout
the outer query.  The previous behavior was arguably quite buggy,
so I don't think 0dca5d68d deserves blame here.  But we would
like this test script to not take so long.

To fix, instead of forcing a "parallel safe" label via a
non-inlineable SQL function, apply it directly to the advisory-lock
functions by making internal-language aliases for them.  A small
problem is that the advisory-lock functions return void but this
test would really like them to return integer 1.  I cheated here by
declaring the aliases as returning "int".  That's perhaps undue
familiarity with the implementation of PG_RETURN_VOID(), but that
hasn't changed in twenty years and is unlikely to do so in the next
twenty.  That gets us an integer 0 result, and then an inline-able
wrapper to convert that to an integer 1 allows the rest of the script
to remain unchanged.

For me, this reduces the runtime with debug_discard_caches = 1
by about 100x, making the test comfortably faster than before
instead of slower.

24da5b239a Add test for HeapBitmapScan's broken skip_fetch optimization
In the previous commit HeapBitmapScan's skip_fetch optimization was removed,
due to being broken in not easily fixable ways. Add a test that verifies we
don't re-introduce this bug if somebody tries to re-add the feature.

Only add the test to master for now, it's possible it's not entirely
stable. That seems sufficient, as we're not going to re-introduce the feature
on the backbranches. I did verify that the test passes on all branches. If the
test turns out to be unproblematic, we can backpatch it later, should we feel
a need to do so.

80feb727c8 Add OLD/NEW support to RETURNING in DML queries.
This allows the RETURNING list of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE queries
to explicitly return old and new values by using the special aliases
"old" and "new", which are automatically added to the query (if not
already defined) while parsing its RETURNING list, allowing things
like:

  RETURNING old.colname, new.colname, ...

  RETURNING old.*, new.*

Additionally, a new syntax is supported, allowing the names "old" and
"new" to be changed to user-supplied alias names, e.g.:

  RETURNING WITH (OLD AS o, NEW AS n) o.colname, n.colname, ...

This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined,
such as inside trigger functions, allowing backwards compatibility to
be maintained -- the interpretation of any existing queries that
happen to already refer to relations called "old" or "new", or use
those as aliases for other relations, is not changed.

For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE,
new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT
with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule
changes the command type. Therefore, we put no restrictions on the use
of old and new in any DML queries.

7f798aca1d Remove useless casts to (void *)
Many of them just seem to have been copied around for no real reason.
Their presence causes (small) risks of hiding actual type mismatches
or silently discarding qualifiers

d31bbfb659 Proper object locking for GRANT/REVOKE
Refactor objectNamesToOids() to use get_object_address() internally if
possible.  Not only does this save a lot of code, it also allows us to
use the object locking provided by get_object_address() for
GRANT/REVOKE.  There was previously a code comment that complained
about the lack of locking in objectNamesToOids(), which is now fixed.

The check in ExecGrant_Type_check() is obsolete because
get_object_address_type() already does the same check.

243e9b40f1 For inplace update, send nontransactional invalidations.
The inplace update survives ROLLBACK.  The inval didn't, so another
backend's DDL could then update the row without incorporating the
inplace update.  In the test this fixes, a mix of CREATE INDEX and ALTER
TABLE resulted in a table with an index, yet relhasindex=f.  That is a
source of index corruption.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).
The back branch versions don't change WAL, because those branches just
added end-of-recovery SIResetAll().  All branches change the ABI of
extern function PrepareToInvalidateCacheTuple().  No PGXN extension
calls that, and there's no apparent use case in extensions.
