Like plperl before f47004add, plpython wasn't being sufficiently
careful about checking that list-of-list structures represent
rectangular arrays, so that it would accept some cases in which
different parts of the "array" are nested to different depths.
This was exacerbated by Python's weak distinction between
sequences and lists, so that in some cases strings could get
treated as though they are lists (and burst into individual
characters) even though a different ordering of the upper-level
list would give a different result.
Some of this behavior was unreachable (without risking a crash)
before 81eaaf65e. It seems like a good idea to clean it all up
in the same releases, rather than shipping a non-crashing but
nonetheless visibly buggy behavior in the name of minimal change.
Hence, back-patch.
Per bug #17912 and further testing by Alexander Lakhin.

plperl_array_to_datum() wasn't sufficiently careful about checking
that nested lists represent a rectangular array structure; it would
accept inputs such as "[1, []]". This is a bit related to the
PL/Python bug fixed in commit 81eaaf65e, but it doesn't seem to
provide any direct route to a memory stomp. Instead the likely
failure mode is for makeMdArrayResult to be passed fewer Datums than
the claimed array dimensionality requires, possibly leading to a wild
pointer dereference and SIGSEGV.

If PLySequence_ToArray came across a zero-length sublist, it'd compute
the overall array size as zero, possibly leading to a memory clobber.
(This would likely qualify as a security bug, were it not that plpython
is an untrusted language already.)
I think there are other corner-case issues in this code as well, notably
that the error messages don't match the core code and for some ranges
of array sizes you'd get "invalid memory alloc request size" rather than
the intended message about array size.
Really this code has no business doing its own array size calculation
at all, so remove the faulty code in favor of using ArrayGetNItems().

Commit 04fe805a1 modified plpgsql so that datatype casts make use of
expressions cached by plancache.c, in place of older code where these
expression trees were managed by plpgsql itself. However, I (tgl)
forgot that we use a separate, shorter-lived cast info hashtable in
DO blocks. The new mechanism thus resulted in session-lifespan
leakage of the plancache data once a DO block containing one or more
casts terminated. To fix, split the cast hash table into two parts,
one that tracks only the plancache's CachedExpressions and one that
tracks the expression state trees generated from them. DO blocks need
their own expression state trees and hence their own version of the
second hash table, but there's no reason they can't share the
CachedExpressions with regular plpgsql functions.

New versions of perl trigger warnings within perl.h with our compiler
flags. At least -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wshadow=compatible-local are
known to be problematic.
To avoid these warnings, conditionally use #pragma GCC system_header before
including plperl.h.
Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with
-isystem, but that is a larger hammer and is harder to search for.
A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic
push/ignored/pop, but gcc warns about unknown warnings being ignored, so every
to-be-ignored-temporarily compiler warning would require its own pg_config.h
symbol and #ifdef.
As the warnings are voluminous, it makes sense to backpatch this change. But
don't do so yet, we first want gather buildfarm coverage - it's e.g. possible
that some compiler claiming to be gcc compatible has issues with the pragma.

Treat arguments declared as RECORD as if that were a polymorphic type
(which it is, sort of), in that we substitute the actual argument type
while forming the function cache lookup key. This allows the specific
composite type to be known in some cases where it was not before,
at the cost of making a separate function cache entry for each named
composite type that's passed to the function during a session. The
particular symptom discussed in bug #17610 could be solved in other
more-efficient ways, but only at the cost of considerable development
work, and there are other cases where we'd still fail without this.

We allow users to set the values of not-yet-loaded extension GUCs,
remembering those values in "placeholder" GUC entries. When/if
the extension is loaded later in the session, we need to verify that
the user had permissions to set the GUC. That was done correctly
before commit a0ffa885e, but as of that commit, we'd check the
permissions of the active role when the LOAD happens, not the role
that had set the value. (This'd be a security bug if it had made it
into a released version.)
In principle this is simple enough to fix: we just need to remember
the exact role OID that set each GUC value, and use that not
GetUserID() when verifying permissions. Maintaining that data in
the guc.c data structures is slightly tedious, but fortunately it's
all basically just copy-n-paste of the logic for tracking the
GucSource of each setting, as we were already doing.
Another oversight is that validate_option_array_item() hadn't
been taught to check for granted GUC privileges. This appears
to manifest only in that ALTER ROLE/DATABASE RESET ALL will
fail to reset settings that the user should be allowed to reset.

plpython_unicode_3.out was already removed a long time ago, so it
being listed here was very out of date.
plpython_types_3.out was removed with the Python 2 removal.
It has been reported that PL/Tcl built on macOS with GCC >=11 crashes.
The reason is that there is a hash_search() function in the operating
system's libraries, and that ends up being called instead of the one
in postgres. This has something to do with how the linker resolves
references between the various possibilities it has been given, and
somehow something changed that it is now picking that one in this
configuration.
We found that removing the -lc from the link command line fixes this
problem. The -lc was introduced a long time ago in commit

might be obsolete, so we decided that we'll try to just remove it and

I noticed that plpgsql would allow assignment of a new value to a
variable even when that variable is marked CONSTANT, if the variable
is used as an output parameter in CALL or is a refcursor variable
that OPEN assigns a new value to. Fix these oversights.
In the CALL case, the check has to be done at runtime because we
cannot know at parse time which parameters are OUT parameters.
For OPEN, it seems best to likewise enforce at runtime because
then we needn't throw error if the variable has a nonnull value
(since OPEN will only try to overwrite a null value).
Although this is surely a bug fix, no back-patch: it seems unlikely
that anyone would thank us for breaking formerly-working code in
minor releases.

MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a
source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can
conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows -- a task that would otherwise
require multiple PL statements. For example,
MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
DO NOTHING;
MERGE works with regular tables, partitioned tables and inheritance
hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as
support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein.
MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful
for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference
to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there
is some overhead. MERGE can be used from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and
RETURNING clauses are not allowed either. These limitations are likely
fixable with sufficient effort. Rewrite rules are also not supported,
but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

SPI_commit previously left it up to the caller to recover from any error
occurring during commit. Since that's complicated and requires use of
low-level xact.c facilities, it's not too surprising that no caller got
it right. Let's move the responsibility for cleanup into spi.c. Doing
that requires redefining SPI_commit as starting a new transaction, so
that it becomes equivalent to SPI_commit_and_chain except that you get
default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior
transaction's characteristics. We can make this pretty transparent
API-wise by redefining SPI_start_transaction() as a no-op. Callers
that expect to do something in between might be surprised, but
available evidence is that no callers do so.
Having made that API redefinition, we can fix this mess by having
SPI_commit[_and_chain] trap errors and start a new, clean transaction
before re-throwing the error. Likewise for SPI_rollback[_and_chain].
Some cleanup is also needed in AtEOXact_SPI, which was nowhere near
smart enough to deal with SPI contexts nested inside a committing
context.
While plperl and pltcl need no changes beyond removing their now-useless
SPI_start_transaction() calls, plpython needs some more work because it
hadn't gotten the memo about catching commit/rollback errors in the
first place. Such an error resulted in longjmp'ing out of the Python
interpreter, which leaks Python stack entries at present and is reported
to crash Python 3.11 altogether. Add the missing logic to catch such
errors and convert them into Python exceptions.
We are probably going to have to back-patch this once Python 3.11 ships,
but it's a sufficiently basic change that I'm a bit nervous about doing
so immediately. Let's let it bake awhile in HEAD first.

Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation
of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not
such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the
Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that
anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions,
we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are
likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet.
In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info
such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in
the third place, this path allows code execution during function
validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential
for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions
until compilation is finished.
While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions
that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps
plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds
that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms
functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and
seem to be flat-out oversights.

This makes more consistent the SRF-related checks in the area of
PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Tcl, pageinspect and some of the JSON worker
functions, making it easier to grep for the same error patterns through
the code, reducing a bit the translation work.
It is worth noting that each_worker_jsonb()/each_worker() in jsonfuncs.c
and pageinspect's brin_page_items() were doing a check on expectedDesc
that is not required as they fetch their tuple descriptor directly from
get_call_result_type(). This looks like a set of copy-paste errors that
have spread over the years.

Commit 75d22069e tried to throw a warning for setting a custom GUC whose
prefix belongs to a previously-loaded extension, if there is no such GUC
defined by the extension. But that caused unstable behavior with
parallel workers, because workers don't necessarily load extensions and
GUCs in the same order their leader did. To make that work safely, we
have to completely disallow the case. We now actually remove any such
GUCs at the time of initial extension load, and then throw an error not
just a warning if you try to add one later. While this might create a
compatibility issue for a few people, the improvement in error-detection
capability seems worth it; it's hard to believe that there's any good
use-case for choosing such GUC names.

pg_regress has long had provisions for dynamically substituting path
names into regression test scripts and result files, but use of that
feature has always been a serious pain in the neck, mainly because
updating the result files requires tedious manual editing. Let's
get rid of that in favor of passing down the paths in environment
variables.
In addition to being easier to maintain, this way is capable of
dealing with path names that require escaping at runtime, for example
paths containing single-quote marks. (There are other stumbling
blocks in the way of actually building in a path that looks like
that, but removing this one seems like a good thing to do.) The key
coding rule that makes that possible is to concatenate pieces of a
dynamically-variable string using psql's \set command, and then use
the :'variable' notation to quote and escape the string for the next
level of interpretation.
In hopes of making this change more transparent to "git blame",
I've split it into two steps. This commit adds the necessary
pg_regress.c support and changes all the *.source files in-place
so that they no longer require any dynamic translation. The next
commit will just "git mv" them into the regular sql/ and expected/
