This adds support for the NOT ENFORCED/ENFORCED flag for constraints,
with support for check constraints.
The plan is to eventually support this for foreign key constraints,
where it is typically more useful.
Note that CHECK constraints do not currently support ALTER operations,
so changing the enforceability of an existing constraint isn't
possible without dropping and recreating it. This could be added
later.

Previously, the caller needed to allocate the memory and the
TupleHashTable would store a pointer to it. That wastes space for the
palloc overhead as well as the size of the pointer itself.
Now, the TupleHashTable relies on the caller to correctly specify the
additionalsize, and allocates that amount of space. The caller can
then request a pointer into that space.

6f3820f37 adjusted the assert-enabled validation of the CompactAttribute
to call a new external function to perform the validation. That commit
made it so the function was only available when building with
USE_ASSERT_CHECKING, and because TupleDescCompactAttr() is a static
inline function, the call to verify_compact_attribute() was compiled
into any extension which uses TupleDescCompactAttr(). This caused issues
for such extensions when loading the assert-enabled extension into
PostgreSQL versions without asserts enabled due to that function being
unavailable in core.
To fix this, make verify_compact_attribute() available unconditionally,
but make it do nothing unless building with USE_ASSERT_CHECKING.

cluster_rel() receives the OID of the relation to process, which it
opens and locks; but then its subroutine copy_table_data() also receives
the relation OID and opens it by itself. This is a bit wasteful. It's
better to have cluster_rel() receive the relation already open, and pass
it down to its subroutines as necessary; then cluster_rel closes the rel
before returning. This simplifies things.
But a better motivation to make this change is that a future command to
do logical-decoding-based "concurrent VACUUM FULL" will need to release
all locks on the relation (and possibly on the clustering index) at some
point. Since it makes little sense to keep the relation reference
without the lock, the cluster_rel() function will also close it (and
the index). With this arrangement, neither the function nor its
subroutines need open extra references, which, again, makes things simpler.

The pgstat_count_io_op() function, which counts a single I/O operation,

This change makes also the code more symmetric with

The originally submitted code (using bit masking) was correct when the
number of slots was restricted to be a power of two -- but that
limitation was removed during development that led to commit
53c2a97a92, which made the bank selection code incorrect. This led to
always using a smaller number of banks than available. Change said code
to use integer modulo instead, which works correctly with an arbitrary
number of banks.
It's likely that we could improve on this to avoid runtime use of
integer division. But with this change we're, at least, not wasting
memory on unused banks, and more banks mean less contention, which is
likely to have a much higher performance impact than a single

autovacuum_worker_slots that controls how many autovacuum worker
slots to reserve during server startup. Modifying this new
parameter's value does require a server restart, but it should
typically be set to the upper bound of what you might realistically
need to set autovacuum_max_workers. With that new parameter in

If autovacuum_max_workers is set higher than
autovacuum_worker_slots, a WARNING is emitted, and the server will
only start up to autovacuum_worker_slots workers at a given time.
If autovacuum_max_workers is set to a value less than the number of

continue running, but no new workers will be started until the

Previously, it would not have worked for a caller to pass a slab
context, since it would have been used for other things which likely
had incompatible size. In an attempt to be helpful and avoid possible
space wastage due to aset's power-of-two rounding, RT_CREATE would
create an additional slab context if the value type was fixed-length
and larger than pointer size. The problem was, we have since added
the bump context type, and the generation context was a possibility as
well, so silently overriding the caller's choice may actually be worse.
Commit e8a6f1f908 arranged so that the caller-provided context is
used only for leaves, so it's safe for the caller to use slab here
if they wish. As demonstration, use slab in one of the radix tree

Previously, this was notionally used only for the entry point of the
tree and as a convenient parent for other contexts.
For shared memory, the creator previously allocated the entry point
in this context, but attaching backends didn't have access to that,
so they just used the caller's context. For the sake of consistency,
allocate every instance of an entry point in the caller's context.
For local memory, allocate the control object in the caller's context
as well. This commit also makes the "leaf context" the notional parent
of the child contexts used for nodes, so it's a bit of a misnomer,
but a future commit will make the node contexts independent rather
than children, so leave it this way for now to avoid code churn.
The memory context parameter for RT_CREATE is now unused in the case
of shared memory, so remove it and adjust callers to match.

Cause parallel workers to not check datallowconn, rolcanlogin, and
ACL_CONNECT privileges. The leader already checked these things
(except for rolcanlogin which might have been checked for a different
role). Re-checking can accomplish little except to induce unexpected
failures in applications that might not even be aware that their query
has been parallelized. We already had the principle that parallel
workers rely on their leader to pass a valid set of authorization
information, so this change just extends that a bit further.
Also, modify the ReservedConnections, datconnlimit and rolconnlimit
logic so that these limits are only enforced against regular backends,
and only regular backends are counted while checking if the limits
were already reached. Previously, background processes that had an
assigned database or role were subject to these limits (with rather
random exclusions for autovac workers and walsenders), and the set of
existing processes that counted against each limit was quite haphazard
as well. The point of these limits, AFAICS, is to ensure the
availability of PGPROC slots for regular backends. Since all other
types of processes have their own separate pools of PGPROC slots, it
makes no sense either to enforce these limits against them or to count
them while enforcing the limit.
While edge-case failures of these sorts have been possible for a
long time, the problem got a good deal worse with commit 5a2fed911
(CVE-2024-10978), which caused parallel workers to make some of these
checks using the leader's current role where before we had used its
AuthenticatedUserId, thus allowing parallel queries to fail after
SET ROLE. The previous behavior was fairly accidental and I have
no desire to return to it.
This patch includes reverting 73c9f91a1, which was an emergency hack
to suppress these same checks in some cases. It wasn't complete,
as shown by a recent bug report from Laurenz Albe. We can also revert
fd4d93d26 and 492217301, which hacked around the same problems in one

The need for this was missed in commit 93db6cbda, with the result
being that if we launch a slotsync worker it would consume one of
the PGPROCs in the max_connections pool. That could lead to inability
to launch the worker, or to subsequent failures of connection requests
that should have succeeded according to the configured settings.
Rather than create some one-off infrastructure to support this,
let's group the slotsync worker with the existing autovac launcher
in a new category of "special worker" processes. These are kind of
like auxiliary processes, but they cannot use that infrastructure
because they need to be able to run transactions.
For the moment, make these processes share the PGPROC freelist
used for autovac workers (which previously supplied the autovac
launcher too). This is partly to avoid an ABI change in v17,
and partly because it seems silly to have a freelist with
at most two members. This might be worth revisiting if we grow
enough workers in this category.

5983a4cff added CompactAttribute as an abbreviated alternative to
FormData_pg_attribute to allow more cache-friendly processing in tasks
related to TupleDescs. That commit contained some assert-only code to
check that the CompactAttribute had been populated correctly, however,
the method used to do that checking caused the TupleDesc's
CompactAttribute to be zeroed before it was repopulated and compared to
the snapshot taken before the memset call. This caused issues as the type
cache caches TupleDescs in shared memory which can be used by multiple
backend processes at the same time. There was a window of time between
the zero and repopulation of the CompactAttribute where another process
would mistakenly think that the CompactAttribute is invalid due to the
memset.
To fix this, instead of taking a snapshot of the CompactAttribute and
calling populate_compact_attribute() and comparing the snapshot to the
freshly populated TupleDesc's CompactAttribute, refactor things so we
can just populate a temporary CompactAttribute on the stack. This way
we don't touch the TupleDesc's memory.

RelationTruncate() does three things, while holding an
AccessExclusiveLock and preventing checkpoints:
1. Logs the truncation.
2. Drops buffers, even if they're dirty.
3. Truncates some number of files.
Step 2 could previously be canceled if it had to wait for I/O, and step
3 could and still can fail in file APIs. All orderings of these
operations have data corruption hazards if interrupted, so we can't give
up until the whole operation is done. When dirty pages were discarded
but the corresponding blocks were left on disk due to ERROR, old page
versions could come back from disk, reviving deleted data (see
pgsql-bugs #18146 and several like it). When primary and standby were
allowed to disagree on relation size, standbys could panic (see
pgsql-bugs #18426) or revive data unknown to visibility management on
the primary (theorized).
Changes:
* WAL is now unconditionally flushed first
* smgrtruncate() is now called in a critical section, preventing
interrupts and causing PANIC on file API failure
* smgrtruncate() has a new parameter for existing fork sizes,
because it can't call smgrnblocks() itself inside a critical section
The changes apply to RelationTruncate(), smgr_redo() and
pg_truncate_visibility_map(). That last is also brought up to date with
other evolutions of the truncation protocol.
The VACUUM FileTruncate() failure mode had been discussed in older

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4

The original design for set operations involved appending the two
input relations into one and adding a flag column that allows
distinguishing which side each row came from. Then the SetOp node
pries them apart again based on the flag. This is bizarre. The
only apparent reason to do it is that when sorting, we'd only need
one Sort node not two. But since sorting is at least O(N log N),
sorting all the data is actually worse than sorting each side
separately --- plus, we have no chance of taking advantage of
presorted input. On top of that, adding the flag column frequently
requires an additional projection step that adds cycles, and then
the Append node isn't free either. Let's get rid of all of that
and make the SetOp node have two separate children, using the
existing outerPlan/innerPlan infrastructure.
This initial patch re-implements nodeSetop.c and does a bare minimum
of work on the planner side to generate correctly-shaped plans.
In particular, I've tried not to change the cost estimates here,
so that the visible changes in the regression test results will only
involve removal of useless projection steps and not any changes in
whether to use sorted vs hashed mode.
For SORTED mode, we combine successive identical tuples from each
input into groups, and then merge-join the groups. The tuple
comparisons now use SortSupport instead of simple equality, but
the group-formation part should involve roughly the same number of
tuple comparisons as before. The cross-comparisons between left and
right groups probably add to that, but I'm not sure to quantify how
many more comparisons we might need.
For HASHED mode, nodeSetop's logic is almost the same as before,
just refactored into two separate loops instead of one loop that
has an assumption that it will see all the left-hand inputs first.
In both modes, I added early-exit logic to not bother reading the
right-hand relation if the left-hand input is empty, since neither
INTERSECT nor EXCEPT modes can produce any output if the left input
is empty. This could have been done before in the hashed mode, but
not in sorted mode. Sorted mode can also stop as soon as it exhausts
the left input; any remaining right-hand tuples cannot have matches.
Also, this patch adds some infrastructure for detecting whether
child plan nodes all output the same type of tuple table slot.
If they do, the hash table logic can use slightly more efficient
code based on assuming that that's the input slot type it will see.
We'll make use of that infrastructure in other plan node types later.

This adds a new variable-numbered statistics kind in pgstats, where the
object ID key of the stats entries is based on the proc number of the
backends. This acts as an upper-bound for the number of stats entries
that can exist at once. The entries are created when a backend starts
after authentication succeeds, and are removed when the backend exits,
making the stats entry exist for as long as their backend is up and
running. These are not written to the pgstats file at shutdown (note
that write_to_file is disabled, as a safety measure).
Currently, these stats include only information about the I/O generated
by a backend, using the same layer as pg_stat_io, except that it is now
possible to know how much activity is happening in each backend rather
than an overall aggregate of all the activity. A function called
pg_stat_get_backend_io() is added to access this data depending on the
PID of a backend. The existing structure could be expanded in the
future to add more information about other statistics related to
backends, depending on requirements or ideas.
Auxiliary processes are not included in this set of statistics. These
are less interesting to have than normal backends as they have dedicated
entries in pg_stat_io, and stats kinds of their own.
This commit includes also pg_stat_reset_backend_stats(), function able
to reset all the stats associated to a single backend.
Bump catalog version and PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.

With the repurposing of TBMIterator as an interface for both parallel
and serial iteration through TIDBitmaps in commit 7f9d4187e7,
bitmap table scans may now use it.
Modify bitmap table scan code to use the TBMIterator. This requires
moving around a bit of code, so a few variables are initialized
elsewhere.

Add and use TBMPrivateIterator, which replaces the current TBMIterator
for serial use cases, and repurpose TBMIterator to be a unified
interface for both the serial ("private") and parallel ("shared") TID
Bitmap iterator interfaces. This encapsulation simplifies call sites for
callers supporting both parallel and serial TID Bitmap access.
TBMIterator is not yet used in this commit.

HeapScanDescData.rs_cindex and rs_ntuples can't be less than 0. All scan
types using the heap scan descriptor expect these values to be >= 0.
Make that expectation clear by making rs_cindex and rs_ntuples unsigned.
Also remove the test in heapam_scan_bitmap_next_tuple() that checks if
rs_cindex < 0. This was never true, but now that rs_cindex is unsigned,
it makes even less sense.
While we are at it, initialize both rs_cindex and rs_ntuples to 0 in
initscan().

0f5738202 adjusted the execGrouping.c code so it made use of ExprStates to
generate hash values. That commit made a wrong assumption that the slot
type to pass to ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() is always &TTSOpsMinimalTuple.
That's not the case as the slot type depends on the slot type passed to
LookupTupleHashEntry(), which for nodeRecursiveunion.c, could be any of
the current slot types.
Here we fix this by adding a new parameter to BuildTupleHashTableExt()
to allow the slot type to be passed in. In the case of nodeSubplan.c
and nodeAgg.c the slot type is always &TTSOpsVirtual, so for both of
those cases, it's beneficial to pass the known slot type as that allows
ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() to skip adding the tuple deform step to the
resulting ExprState. Another possible fix would have been to have
ExecBuildHash32FromAttrs() set "fetch.kind" to NULL so that
ExecComputeSlotInfo() always determines the EEOP_INNER_FETCHSOME is
required, however, that option isn't favorable as slows down aggregation
and hashed subplan evaluation due to the extra (needless) deform step.
Thanks to Nathan Bossart for bisecting to find the offending commit
based on Paul's report.

Previously we did this in PostmasterMain() and InitPostmasterChild(),
which meant that stack depth checking was disabled in non-postmaster
server processes, for instance in single-user mode. That seems like
a fairly bad idea, since there's no a-priori restriction on the
complexity of queries we will run in single-user mode. Moreover, this
led to not having quite the same stack depth limit in all processes,
which likely has no real-world effect but it offends my inner neatnik.
Setting the depth in main() guarantees that check_stack_depth() is
armed and has a consistent interpretation of stack depth in all forms
of server processes.
While at it, move the code associated with checking the stack depth
out of tcop/postgres.c (which was never a great home for it) into
a new file src/backend/utils/misc/stack_depth.c.

lowerstr() and lowerstr_with_len() in ts_locale.c do the same thing as
str_tolower() that the rest of the system uses, except that the former
don't use the common locale provider framework but instead use the
global libc locale settings.
This patch replaces uses of lowerstr*() with str_tolower(...,
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID). For instances that use a libc locale
globally, this will result in exactly the same behavior. For
instances that use other locale providers, you now get consistent
behavior and are no longer dependent on the libc locale settings (for
this case; there are others).
Most uses of these functions are for processing dictionary and
configuration files. In those cases, using the default collation
seems appropriate. At least we don't have a more specific collation
available. But the code in contrib/pg_trgm should really depend on
the collation of the columns being processed. This is not done here,
this can be done in a separate patch.
(You can probably construct some edge cases where this change would
create some locale-related upgrade incompatibility, for example if
before you used a combination of ICU and a differently-behaving libc
locale. We can document this in the release notes, but I don't think
there is anything more we can do about this.)

These do the same thing as the standard isdigit(), isspace(), and
isprint() but with multibyte and encoding support. But all the
callers are only interested in analyzing single-byte ASCII characters.
So this extra layer is overkill and we can replace the uses with the
standard functions.
All the t_is*() functions in ts_locale.c are under scrutiny because
they don't use the common locale provider framework but instead use
the global libc locale settings. For the functions being touched by
this patch, we don't need all that anyway, as mentioned above, so the
simplest solution is to just remove them. The few remaining t_is*()
functions will need a different treatment in a separate patch.
pg_trgm has some compile-time options with macros such as
KEEPONLYALNUM. These are not documented, and the non-default variant
is not supported by any test cases. As part of this undertaking, I'm
removing the non-default variant, as it is in the way of cleanup. So
in this case, the not-KEEPONLYALNUM code path is gone.

provider and give the caller control over the destination
buffer. Then, move provider-specific logic into pg_locale_builtin.c,
pg_locale_icu.c, and pg_locale_libc.c as appropriate.
