It's at least theoretically possible to overflow int32 when adding up
column width estimates to make a row width estimate. (The bug example
isn't terribly convincing as a real use-case, but perhaps wide joins
would provide a more plausible route to trouble.) This'd lead to
assertion failures or silly planner behavior. To forestall it, make
the relevant functions compute their running sums in int64 arithmetic
and then clamp to int32 range at the end. We can reasonably assume
that MaxAllocSize is a hard limit on actual tuple width, so clamping
to that is simply a correction for dubious input values, and there's
no need to go as far as widening width variables to int64 everywhere.
Per bug #18247 from RekGRpth. There've been no reports of this issue
arising in practical cases, so I feel no need to back-patch.

- Remove MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(). It was supposed to be a
faster version of MemoryContextAllocZero(), but modern compilers turn
the MemSetLoop() into a call to memset() anyway, making it more or
less identical to MemoryContextAllocZero(). That was the only user of
MemSetTest, MemSetLoop, so remove those too, as well as palloc0fast().
- Convert newNode() to a static inline function. When this was
originally originally written, it was written as a macro because
testing showed that gcc didn't inline the size check as we
intended. Modern compiler versions do, and now that it just calls
palloc0() there is no size-check to inline anyway.
One nice effect is that the palloc0() takes one less argument than
MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(), which saves a few instructions in the
callers of newNode().

The value was double in the original implementation of this logic.
Commit da08a6598 pulled it out into a subroutine, but carelessly
declared the parameter as int when it should have been double.
On most platforms, the only ill effect would be to clamp the value
to be not more than INT_MAX, which would seldom be exceeded and
probably wouldn't change the estimates too much anyway. Nonetheless,
it's wrong and can cause complaints from ubsan.
While here, improve the comments and parameter names.
This is an ABI change in a globally exposed subroutine, so
back-patching would create some risk of breaking extensions.
The value of the fix doesn't seem high enough to warrant taking
that risk, so fix in HEAD only.

Presently, all platforms implement atomic exchanges by performing
an atomic compare-and-swap in a loop until it succeeds. This can
be especially expensive when there is contention on the atomic
variable. This commit optimizes atomic exchanges on many platforms
by using compiler intrinsics, which should compile into something
much less expensive than a compare-and-swap loop. Since these
intrinsics have been available for some time, the inline assembly
implementations are omitted.

smgrreadv() and smgrwritev() and their md.c implementations call
FileReadV() and FileWriteV(). A range of disk blocks beginning at
'blocknum' and extending for 'nblocks' can be scattered to or gathered
from multiple buffers with a single system call. The traditional
smgrread() and smgrwrite() functions are implemented in terms of the new
functions.
Later commits will introduce calls with nblocks > 1, but the following
behavioral changes can be seen already:
* After a short transfer we'll now retry until we eventually read 0
bytes (= EOF) or get ENOSPC, EDQUOT, EFBIG etc, where previously we
would infer the reason. Retrying is consistent with xlog.c's
treatment of large WAL writes, and arguably also xlog.c and fd.c's
treatment of EINTR. Arbitrary short returns for larger transfers have
been observed on several OSes, and might in theory also happen for
transient reasons with our own pg_p*v() fallback code.
* After unexpected EOF or -1, the error thrown now talks about
a range even for the single block case, eg "blocks 42..42".

In v16 and up (since commit afbfc0298), large object ownership
checking has been broken because object_ownercheck() didn't take care
of the discrepancy between our object-address representation of large
objects (classId == LargeObjectRelationId) and the catalog where their
ownership info is actually stored (LargeObjectMetadataRelationId).
This resulted in failures such as "unrecognized class ID: 2613"
when trying to update blob properties as a non-superuser.
Poking around for related bugs, I found that AlterObjectOwner_internal
would pass the wrong classId to the PostAlterHook in the no-op code
path where the large object already has the desired owner. Also,
recordExtObjInitPriv checked for the wrong classId; that bug is only
latent because the stanza is dead code anyway, but as long as we're
carrying it around it should be less wrong. These bugs are quite old.
In HEAD, we can reduce the scope for future bugs of this ilk by
changing AlterObjectOwner_internal's API to let the translation happen
inside that function, rather than requiring callers to know about it.
A more bulletproof fix, perhaps, would be to start using
LargeObjectMetadataRelationId as the dependency and object-address
classId for blobs. However that has substantial risk of breaking
third-party code; even within our own code, it'd create hassles
for pg_dump which would have to cope with a version-dependent
representation. For now, keep the status quo.

Teach _bt_binsrch (and related helper routines like _bt_search and
_bt_compare) about the initial positioning requirements of backward
scans. Routines like _bt_binsrch already know all about "nextkey"
searches, so it seems natural to teach them about "goback"/backward
searches, too. These concepts are closely related, and are much easier
to understand when discussed together.
Now that certain implementation details are hidden from _bt_first, it's
straightforward to add a new optimization: backward scans using the <
strategy now avoid extra leaf page accesses in certain "boundary cases".
Consider the following example, which uses the tenk1 table (and its
tenk1_hundred index) from the standard regression tests:
SELECT * FROM tenk1 WHERE hundred < 12 ORDER BY hundred DESC LIMIT 1;
Before this commit, nbtree would scan two leaf pages, even though it was
only really necessary to scan one leaf page. We'll now descend straight
to the leaf page containing a (12, -inf) high key instead. The scan
will locate matching non-pivot tuples with "hundred" values starting
from the value 11. The scan won't waste a page access on the right
sibling leaf page, which cannot possibly contain any matching tuples.
You can think of the optimization added by this commit as disabling an
optimization (the _bt_compare "!pivotsearch" behavior that was added to
Postgres 12 in commit dd299df8) for a small subset of cases where it was
always counterproductive.
Equivalently, you can think of the new optimization as extending the
"pivotsearch" behavior that page deletion by VACUUM has long required
(since the aforementioned Postgres 12 commit went in) to other, similar
cases. Obviously, this isn't strictly necessary for these new cases
(unlike VACUUM, _bt_first is prepared to move the scan to the left once
on the leaf level), but the underlying principle is the same.

Allow using multiple worker processes to build BRIN index, which until
now was supported only for BTREE indexes. For large tables this often
results in significant speedup when the build is CPU-bound.
The work is split in a simple way - each worker builds BRIN summaries on
a subset of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to
read the data, and feeds them into a shared tuplesort which sorts them
by blkno (start of the range). The leader then reads this sorted stream
of ranges, merges duplicates (which may happen if the parallel scan does
not align with BRIN pages_per_range), and adds the resulting ranges into
the index.
The number of duplicate results produced by workers (requiring merging
in the leader process) should be fairly small, thanks to how parallel
scans assign chunks to workers. The likelihood of duplicate results may
increase for higher pages_per_range values, but then there are fewer
page ranges in total. In any case, we expect the merging to be much
cheaper than summarization, so this should be a win.
Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code
used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for BRIN indexes
(e.g. uniqueness checks).
This also introduces a new index AM flag amcanbuildparallel, determining
whether to attempt to start parallel workers for the index build.

van de Meent, certainly enough to make him a co-author.

tts_virtual_copyslot() contained an Assert that checked that the srcslot
contained <= attributes than the dstslot. This seems to be backwards as
if the srcslot contained fewer attributes then the dstslot could be left
with stale Datum values from the previously stored tuple. It might make
more sense to allow the source to contain additional attributes and only
copy the leading ones that also exist in the destination, however, that's
not what we're doing here.
Here we just remove the Assert from tts_virtual_copyslot() and add an
Assert to ExecCopySlot() to verify the attribute counts match. There
does not seem to be any places where the destination contains fewer
attributes, so instead of going to the trouble of making the code
properly handle this, let's just ensure the attribute counts match. If
this Assert fails then that will indicate that we do have cases that
require us to handle the srcslot with more attributes than the dstslot.
It seems better to only write this code if there's a genuine requirement
for it rather than write it now only to leave it untested.

we could leave it to callers to worry about that, we already have to

reasonable to centralize this knowledge there (thanks to Heikki for this

Two actual bugs of this ilk are fixed here. We failed to preprocess
column GENERATED expressions before checking mutability, so that the

default-argument expression, or it could reject a polymorphic function
that is actually immutable on the datatype of interest. Likewise,
column DEFAULT expressions weren't preprocessed before determining if
it's safe to apply the attmissingval mechanism. A false negative
would just result in an unnecessary table rewrite, but a false
positive could allow the attmissingval mechanism to be used in a case
where it should not be, resulting in unexpected initial values in a

In passing, re-order the steps in ComputePartitionAttrs so that its
checks for invalid column references are done before applying
expression_planner, rather than after. The previous coding would
not complain if a partition expression contains a disallowed column
reference that gets optimized away by constant folding, which seems
to me to be a behavior we do not want.
Per bug #18097 from Jim Keener. Back-patch to all supported versions.

The fallback implementation of pg_atomic_test_set_flag() that uses
atomic-exchange gives pg_atomic_exchange_u32_impl() an extra
argument. This issue has been present since the introduction of
the atomics API in commit b64d92f1a5.

As of commit eaa5808e8e, MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren() is
just a backwards compatibility macro for MemoryContextReset(). Now
that some time has passed, this macro seems more likely to create
confusion.
This commit removes the macro and replaces all remaining uses with
calls to MemoryContextReset(). Any third-party code that use this
macro will need to be adjusted to call MemoryContextReset()
instead. Since the two have behaved the same way since v9.5, such
adjustments won't produce any behavior changes for all
currently-supported versions of PostgreSQL.

This adds support for infinity to the interval data type, using the
same input/output representation as the other date/time data types
that support infinity. This allows various arithmetic operations on
infinite dates, timestamps and intervals.
The new values are represented by setting all fields of the interval
to INT32/64_MIN for -infinity, and INT32/64_MAX for +infinity. This
ensures that they compare as less/greater than all other interval
values, without the need for any special-case comparison code.
Note that, since those 2 values were formerly accepted as legal finite
intervals, pg_upgrade and dump/restore from an old database will turn
them from finite to infinite intervals. That seems OK, since those
exact values should be extremely rare in practice, and they are
outside the documented range supported by the interval type, which
gives us a certain amount of leeway.
Bump catalog version.
