If the hash functions used for hashing tuples leaked any memory,
we failed to clean that up, resulting in query-lifespan memory
leakage in queries using hashed subplans. One way that could
happen is if the values being hashed require de-toasting, since
most of our hash functions don't trouble to clean up de-toasted
inputs.
Prior to commit bf6c614a2, this leakage was largely masked
because TupleHashTableMatch would reset hashtable->tempcxt
(via execTuplesMatch). But it doesn't do that anymore, and
that's not really the right place for this anyway: doing it
there could reset the tempcxt many times per hash lookup,
or not at all. Instead put reset calls into ExecHashSubPlan
and buildSubPlanHash. Along the way to that, rearrange
ExecHashSubPlan so that there's just one place to call
MemoryContextReset instead of several.
This amounts to accepting the de-facto API spec that the caller
of the TupleHashTable routines is responsible for resetting the
tempcxt adequately often. Although the other callers seem to
get this right, it was not documented anywhere, so add a comment
about it.

A new pgstats entry is created as a two-step process:
- The entry is looked at in the shared hashtable of pgstats, and is
inserted if not found.
- When not found and inserted, its fields are then initialized. This
part include a DSA chunk allocation for the stats data of the new entry.
As currently coded, if the DSA chunk allocation fails due to an
out-of-memory failure, an ERROR is generated, leaving in the pgstats
shared hashtable an inconsistent entry due to the first step, as the
entry has already been inserted in the hashtable. These broken entries
can then be found by other backends, crashing them.
There are only two callers of pgstat_init_entry(), when loading the
pgstats file at startup and when creating a new pgstats entry. This
commit changes pgstat_init_entry() so as we use dsa_allocate_extended()
with DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM, making it return NULL on allocation failure
instead of failing. This way, a backend failing an entry creation can
take appropriate cleanup actions in the shared hashtable before throwing
an error. Currently, this means removing the entry from the shared
hashtable before throwing the error for the allocation failure.
Out-of-memory errors unlikely happen in the wild, and we do not bother
with back-patches when these are fixed, usually. However, the problem
dealt with here is a degree worse as it breaks the shared memory state
of pgstats, impacting other processes that may look at an inconsistent
entry that a different process has failed to create.

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.

SubPlan nodes are typically built very early, before any RelOptInfos
have been constructed for the parent query level. As a result, the
simple_rel_array in the parent root has not yet been initialized.
Currently, during cost estimation of a SubPlan's testexpr, we may call
examine_variable() to look up statistical data about the expressions.
This can lead to "no relation entry for relid" errors.
To fix, pass root as NULL to cost_qual_eval() in cost_subplan(), since
the root does not yet contain enough information to safely consult
statistics.
One exception is SubPlan nodes built for the initplans of MIN/MAX
aggregates from indexes. In this case, having a NULL root is safe
because testexpr will be NULL. Additionally, an initplan will by
definition not consult anything from the parent plan.
Backpatch to all supported branches. Although the reported call path
that triggers this error is not reachable prior to v17, there's no
guarantee that other code paths -- especially in extensions -- could
not encounter the same issue when cost_qual_eval() is called with a
root that lacks a valid simple_rel_array. The test case is not
included in pre-v17 branches though.

Compression in pg_dump is abstracted using an API with multiple
implementations which can be selected at runtime by the user.
The API and its implementations have evolved over time, notable
commits include bf9aa490db, e9960732a9, 84adc8e20, and 0da243fed.
The errorhandling defined by the API was however problematic and
the implementations had a few bugs and/or were not following the
API specification. This commit modifies the API to ensure that
callers can perform errorhandling efficiently and fixes all the
implementations such that they all implement the API in the same
way. A full list of the changes can be seen below.
* write_func:
- Make write_func throw an error on all error conditions. All
callers of write_func were already checking for success and
calling pg_fatal on all errors, so we might as well make the
API support that case directly with simpler errorhandling as
a result.
* open_func:
- zstd: move stream initialization from the open function to
the read and write functions as they can have fatal errors.
Also ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
- lz4: Ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
* close_func:
- zstd: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and clean up state allocation on
fclose failures. Make sure to capture errors set by fclose.
- lz4: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and instead of calling pg_fatal
log the failures using pg_log_error. Make sure to capture
errors set by fclose.
- none: Make sure to catch errors set by fclose.
* read_func / gets_func:
- Make read_func unconditionally return the number of read
bytes instead of making it optional per implementation.
- lz4: Make sure to call throw an error and not return -1
- gzip: gzread returning zero cannot be assumed to indicate
EOF as it is documented to return zero for some types of
errors.
- lz4, zstd: Convert the _read_internal helper functions to
not call pg_fatal on errors to be able to handle gets_func
returning NULL on error.
* getc_func:
- zstd: Use an unsigned char rather than an int to read char
into.
* LZ4Stream_init:
- Make sure to not switch to inited state until we know that
initialization succeeded and reset errno just in case.
On top of these changes there are minor comment cleanups and
improvements as well as an attempt to consistently reset errno
in codepaths where it is inspected.
This work was initiated by a report of API misuse, which turned
into a larger body of work. As this is an internal API these
changes can be backpatched into all affected branches.

the result back to the live_parts local variable, the while loop could
segfault as that variable would still reference the pfree'd Bitmapset.

bms_del_member() didn't pfree when the set became empty prior to

Commit 4b754d6c1 introduced the concept of an excludeOnly scan key,
which cannot select matching index entries but can reject
non-matching tuples, for example a tsquery such as '!term'. There are
poorly-documented assumptions that such scan keys do not appear as the
first scan key. ginNewScanKey did nothing to ensure that, however,
with the result that certain GIN index searches could go into an
infinite loop while apparently-equivalent queries with the clauses in
a different order were fine.
Fix by teaching ginNewScanKey to place all excludeOnly scan keys
after all not-excludeOnly ones. So far as we know at present,
it might be sufficient to avoid the case where the very first
scan key is excludeOnly; but I'm not very convinced that there
aren't other dependencies on the ordering.

Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.
Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a1.
There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.
This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber(). The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().
The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.
We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet. Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes. It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

Some replication slot manipulations (logical decoding via SQL,
advancing) were failing an assertion when releasing a slot in
single-user mode, because active_pid was not set in a ReplicationSlot
when its slot is acquired.
ReplicationSlotAcquire() has some logic to be able to work with the
single-user mode. This commit sets ReplicationSlot->active_pid to
MyProcPid, to let the slot-related logic fall-through, considering the
single process as the one holding the slot.
Some TAP tests are added for various replication slot functions with the
single-user mode, while on it, for slot creation, drop, advancing, copy
and logical decoding with multiple slot types (temporary, physical vs
logical). These tests are skipped on Windows, as direct calls of
postgres --single would fail on permission failures. There is no
platform-specific behavior that needs to be checked, so living with this
restriction should be fine. The CI is OK with that, now let's see what

The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the
subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system
catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server.
Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on
pg_subscription before initiating these steps.
However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the
publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is
made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the
cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an
AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock.
To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during
DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier,
the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new
worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become
orphaned.
Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on
the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence
after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the
worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still
ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

It turns out that on some platforms (at least current macOS, NetBSD,
OpenBSD) semget(2) will return EINVAL if there is a pre-existing
semaphore set with the same key and too few semaphores. Our code
expects EEXIST in that case and treats EINVAL as a hard failure,
resulting in failure during initdb or postmaster start.
POSIX does document EINVAL for too-few-semaphores-in-set, and is
silent on its priority relative to EEXIST, so this behavior arguably
conforms to spec. Nonetheless it's quite problematic because EINVAL
is also documented to mean that nsems is greater than the system's
limit on the number of semaphores per set (SEMMSL). If that is
where the problem lies, retrying would just become an infinite loop.
To resolve this contradiction, retry after EINVAL, but also install a
loop limit that will make us give up regardless of the specific errno
after trying 1000 different keys. (1000 is a pretty arbitrary number,
but it seems like it should be sufficient.) I like this better than
the previous infinite-looping behavior, since it will also keep us out
of trouble if (say) we get EACCES due to a system-level permissions
problem rather than anything to do with a specific semaphore set.
This problem has only been observed in the field in PG 17, which uses
a higher nsems value than other branches (cf. 38da05346, 810a8b1c8).
That makes it possible to get the failure if a new v17 postmaster
has a key collision with an existing postmaster of another branch.
In principle though, we might see such a collision against a semaphore
set created by some other application, in which case all branches are
vulnerable on these platforms. Hence, backpatch.

While at it, encourage users to only restore dumps generated from

to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec271 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had

that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.
In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.
Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.
Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

Commit 9e6104c66 disallowed transition tables on foreign tables, but
failed to account for cases where a foreign table is a child table of a
partitioned/inherited table on which transition tables exist, leading to
incorrect transition tuples collected from such foreign tables for
queries on the parent table triggering transition capture. This
occurred not only for inherited UPDATE/DELETE but for partitioned INSERT
later supported by commit 3d956d956, which should have handled it at
least for the INSERT case, but didn't.
To fix, modify ExecAR*Triggers to throw an error if the given relation
is a foreign table requesting transition capture. Also, this commit
fixes make_modifytable so that in case of an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
triggering transition capture, FDWs choose normal operations to modify
child foreign tables, not DirectModify; which is needed because they
would otherwise skip the calls to ExecAR*Triggers at execution, causing
unexpected behavior.

The result of "DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d)" is already in
Datum form, but the code was incorrectly applying PG_RETURN_FLOAT8()
to it. On machines where float8 is pass-by-reference, this would
result in complete garbage, since an unpredictable pointer value
would be treated as an integer and then converted to float. It's not
entirely clear how much of a problem would ensue on 64-bit hardware,
but certainly interpreting a float8 bitpattern as uint64 and then
converting that to float isn't the intended behavior.
As luck would have it, even the complete-garbage case doesn't break
BRIN indexes, since the results are only used to make choices about
how to merge values into ranges: at worst, we'd make poor choices
resulting in an inefficient index. Doubtless that explains the lack
of field complaints. However, users with BRIN indexes that use the
numeric_minmax_multi_ops opclass may wish to reindex in hopes of
making their indexes more efficient.

In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to
an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are
delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM),
updating the change being processed.
8c58624df4 has added an extra step after processing a change to update
the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback
update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a
threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached. This logic has missed
the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once
processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN
value that's already been freed. This could result in random crashes,
depending on the workload.
Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn()
the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop,
meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated
using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from
its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change. This is actually more correct, as we
want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM
change.
Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode
CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough)
on an instance running valgrind. The bug has been analyzed by Ethan
Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb5 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

The bleeding-edge libxml2 bug that we needed to work around a year

justify a functionality regression. Hence, go back to doing it

Solaris has never bothered to add "const" to the second argument
of PAM conversation procs, as all other Unixen did decades ago.
This resulted in an "incompatible pointer" compiler warning when
building --with-pam, but had no more serious effect than that,
so we never did anything about it. However, as of GCC 14 the
case is an error not warning by default.
To complicate matters, recent OpenIndiana (and maybe illumos
in general?) *does* supply the "const" by default, so we can't
just assume that platforms using our solaris template need help.
What we can do, short of building a configure-time probe,
is to make solaris.h #define _PAM_LEGACY_NONCONST, which
causes OpenIndiana's pam_appl.h to revert to the traditional
definition, and hopefully will have no effect anywhere else.
Then we can use that same symbol to control whether we include

This patch updates the logic first to read the page header and check for

This is the documented behavior, and it worked that way before

where conn->connhost[conn->whichhost].port is NULL. The rest
of libpq is careful to substitute DEF_PGPORT[_STR] for a null

possibly returning NULL. As of v18 that causes psql's \conninfo
command to segfault. Older psql versions avoid that, but it's
pretty likely that other clients have trouble with this,
so we'd better back-patch the fix.
In stable branches, just revert to our historical behavior of

specification. However, it seems substantially more useful and
indeed more correct to hand back DEF_PGPORT_STR in such cases,
so let's make v18 and master do that.

Because not every path through JsonbIteratorNext() sets val->type,
some compilers complain that compareJsonbContainers() is comparing
possibly-uninitialized values. The paths that don't set it return
WJB_DONE, WJB_END_ARRAY, or WJB_END_OBJECT, so it's clear by
manual inspection that the "(ra == rb)" code path is safe, and
indeed we aren't seeing warnings about that. But the (ra != rb)
case is much less obviously safe. In Assert-enabled builds it
seems that the asserts rejecting WJB_END_ARRAY and WJB_END_OBJECT
persuade gcc 15.x not to warn, which makes little sense because
it's impossible to believe that the compiler can prove of its
own accord that ra/rb aren't WJB_DONE here. (In fact they never
will be, so the code isn't wrong, but why is there no warning?)
Without Asserts, the appearance of warnings is quite unsurprising.
We discussed fixing this by converting those two Asserts into
pg_assume, but that seems not very satisfactory when it's so unclear
why the compiler is or isn't warning: the warning could easily
reappear with some other compiler version. Let's fix it in a less
magical, more future-proof way by changing JsonbIteratorNext()
so that it always does set val->type. The cost of that should be
pretty negligible, and it makes the function's API spec less squishy.

getid() and putid(), which parse and deparse role names within ACL
input/output, applied isalnum() to see if a character within a role
name requires quoting. They did this even for non-ASCII characters,
which is problematic because the results would depend on encoding,
locale, and perhaps even platform. So it's possible that putid()
could elect not to quote some string that, later in some other
environment, getid() will decide is not a valid identifier, causing
dump/reload or similar failures.
To fix this in a way that won't risk interoperability problems
with unpatched versions, make getid() treat any non-ASCII as a
legitimate identifier character (hence not requiring quotes),
while making putid() treat any non-ASCII as requiring quoting.
We could remove the resulting excess quoting once we feel that
no unpatched servers remain in the wild, but that'll be years.
A lesser problem is that getid() did the wrong thing with an input
consisting of just two double quotes (""). That has to represent an
empty string, but getid() read it as a single double quote instead.
The case cannot arise in the normal course of events, since we don't
allow empty-string role names. But let's fix it while we're here.
Although we've not heard field reports of problems with non-ASCII
role names, there's clearly a hazard there, so back-patch to all
supported versions.

pl/pgsql's notion of an "expression" is very broad, encompassing
any SQL SELECT query that returns a single column and no more than
one row. So there are cases, for example evaluation of an aggregate
function, where the query involves significant work and it'd be useful
to run it with parallel workers. This used to be possible, but
commits 3eea7a0c9 et al unintentionally disabled it.
The simplest fix is to make exec_eval_expr() pass maxtuples = 0
rather than 2 to exec_run_select(). This avoids the new rule that
we will never use parallelism when a nonzero "count" limit is passed
to ExecutorRun(). (Note that the pre-3eea7a0c9 behavior was indeed
unsafe, so reverting that rule is not in the cards.) The reason
for passing 2 before was that exec_eval_expr() will throw an error
if it gets more than one returned row, so we figured that as soon
as we have two rows we know that will happen and we might as well
stop running the query. That choice was cost-free when it was made;
but disabling parallelism is far from cost-free, so now passing 2
amounts to optimizing a failure case at the expense of useful cases.
An expression query that can return more than one row is certainly
broken. People might now need to wait a bit longer to discover such
breakage; but hopefully few will use enormously expensive cases as
their first test of new pl/pgsql logic.

Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup
contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two
also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet
have lock on. Add similar logic to those code paths, and add
some test cases demonstrating the need for it.
In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a
behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual
generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored
column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of
a virtual column. Since the expression isn't actually relevant to
either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems
unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion.
For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

When decompressing some input data, the calculation for the initial
starting point and the initial size were incorrect, potentially leading
to failures when decompressing contents with LZ4. These initialization
points are fixed in this commit, bringing the logic closer to what
exists for gzip and zstd.
The contents of the compressed data is clear (for example backups taken
with LZ4 can still be decompressed with a "lz4" command), only the
decompression part reading the input data was impacted by this issue.
This code path impacts pg_basebackup and pg_verifybackup, which can use
the LZ4 decompression routines with an archive streamer, or any tools
that try to use the archive streamers in src/fe_utils/.
The issue is easier to reproduce with files that have a low-compression
rate, like ones filled with random data, for a size of at least 512kB,
but this could happen with anything as long as it is stored in a data
folder. Some tests are added based on this idea, with a file filled
with random bytes grabbed from the backend, written at the root of the
data folder. This is proving good enough to reproduce the original
problem.

Sometimes a table's constraint may depend on a column of another
table, so that we have to update the constraint when changing the
referenced column's type. We need to have lock on the constraint's
table to do that. ATPostAlterTypeCleanup believed that this case
was only possible for FOREIGN KEY constraints, but it's wrong at
least for CHECK and EXCLUDE constraints; and in general, we'd
probably need exclusive lock to alter any sort of constraint.
So just remove the contype check and acquire lock for any other
table. This prevents a "you don't have lock" assertion failure,
though no ill effect is observed in production builds.
We'll error out later anyway because we don't presently support
physically altering column types within stored composite columns.
But the catalog-munging is basically all there, so we may as well
make that part work.

This fixes two issues with the handling of VacuumParams in vacuum_rel().
This code path has the idea to change the passed-in pointer of
VacuumParams for the "truncate" and "index_cleanup" options for the
relation worked on, impacting the two following scenarios where
incorrect options may be used because a VacuumParams pointer is shared
across multiple relations:
- Multiple relations in a single VACUUM command.
- TOAST relations vacuumed with their main relation.
The problem is avoided by providing to the two callers of vacuum_rel()
copies of VacuumParams, before the pointer is updated for the "truncate"
and "index_cleanup" options.
The refactoring of the VACUUM option and parameters done in 0d83138974
did not introduce an issue, but it has encouraged the problem we are
dealing with in this commit, with b84dbc8eb8 for "truncate" and
a96c41feec for "index_cleanup" that have been added a couple of years
after the initial refactoring. HEAD will be improved with a different
patch that hardens the uses of VacuumParams across the tree. This
cannot be backpatched as it introduces an ABI breakage.
The backend portion of the patch has been authored by Nathan, while I
have implemented the tests. The tests rely on injection points to check
the option values, making them faster, more reliable than the tests
originally proposed by Shihao, and they also provide more coverage.
This part can only be backpatched down to v17.

The logical replication launcher process would sometimes sleep
for as much as 3 minutes before noticing that it is supposed
to launch a new worker. This could happen if
(1) WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach absorbed a process latch wakeup
that was meant to cause ApplyLauncherMain to do work, or
(2) logicalrep_worker_launch reported failure, either because of
resource limits or because the new worker terminated immediately.
In case (2), the expected behavior is that we retry the launch after
wal_retrieve_retry_interval, but that didn't reliably happen.
It's not clear how often such conditions would occur in the field,
but in our subscription test suite they are somewhat common,
especially in tests that exercise cases that cause quick worker
failure. That causes the tests to take substantially longer than
they ought to do on typical setups.
To fix (1), make WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach re-set the latch
before returning if it cleared it while looping. To fix (2), ensure
that we reduce wait_time to no more than wal_retrieve_retry_interval
when logicalrep_worker_launch reports failure. In passing, fix a
couple of perhaps-hypothetical race conditions, e.g. examining
worker->in_use without a lock.
Backpatch to v16. Problem (2) didn't exist before commit 5a3a95385
because the previous code always set wait_time to
wal_retrieve_retry_interval when launching a worker, regardless of
success or failure of the launch. That behavior also greatly
mitigated problem (1), so I'm not excited about adapting the remainder
of the patch to the substantially-different code in older branches.

While choosing an autogenerated name for an index, look for
pre-existing relations using a SnapshotDirty snapshot, instead of the
previous behavior that considered only committed-good pg_class rows.
This allows us to detect and avoid conflicts against indexes that are
still being built.
It's still possible to fail due to a race condition, but the window
is now just the amount of time that it takes DefineIndex to validate
all its parameters, call smgrcreate(), and enter the index's pg_class
row. Formerly the race window covered the entire time needed to
create and fill an index, which could be very long if the table is
large. Worse, if the conflicting index creation is part of a larger
transaction, it wouldn't be visible till COMMIT.
So this isn't a complete solution, but it should greatly ameliorate
the problem, and the patch is simple enough to be back-patchable.
It might at some point be useful to do the same for pg_constraint
entries (cf. ChooseConstraintName, ConstraintNameExists, and related
functions). However, in the absence of field complaints, I'll leave
that alone for now. The relation-name test should be good enough for
index-based constraints, while foreign-key constraints seem to be okay
since they require exclusive locks to create.

Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages
from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress
transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its
original invalidation messages but also previously distributed
messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase
in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately
causing memory allocation failure.
This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation
messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing
these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of
distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is
limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the
distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we
invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation
messages need to be executed.
Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by
commit 4909b38af0.
Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store
the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in
back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the
size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems
unlikely.
Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of
ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message
overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is
unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags
field.

Teach nbtree's _bt_killitems to leave the so->currPos page that it sets
LP_DEAD items on in whatever state it was in when _bt_killitems was
called. In particular, make sure that so->dropPin scans don't acquire a
pin whose reference is saved in so->currPos.buf.
Allowing _bt_killitems to change so->currPos.buf like this is wrong.
The immediate consequence of allowing it is that code in _bt_steppage
(that copies so->currPos into so->markPos) will behave as if the scan is
a !so->dropPin scan. so->markPos will therefore retain the buffer pin
indefinitely, even though _bt_killitems only needs to acquire a pin
(along with a lock) for long enough to mark known-dead items LP_DEAD.
This issue came to light following a report of a failure of an assertion
from recent commit e6eed40e. The test case in question involves the use
of mark and restore. An initial call to _bt_killitems takes place that
leaves so->currPos.buf in a state that is inconsistent with the scan
being so->dropPin. A subsequent call to _bt_killitems for the same
position (following so->currPos being saved in so->markPos, and then
restored as so->currPos) resulted in the failure of an assertion that
tests that so->currPos.buf is InvalidBuffer when the scan is so->dropPin
(non-assert builds got a "resource was not closed" WARNING instead).
The same problem exists on earlier releases, though the issue is far
more subtle there. Recent commit e6eed40e introduced the so->dropPin
field as a partial replacement for testing so->currPos.buf directly.
Earlier releases won't get an assertion failure (or buffer pin leak),
but they will allow the second _bt_killitems call from the test case to
behave as if a buffer pin was consistently held since the original call
to _bt_readpage. This is wrong; there will have been an initial window
during which no pin was held on the so->currPos page, and yet the second
_bt_killitems call will neglect to check if so->currPos.lsn continues to
match the page's now-current LSN.
As a result of all this, it's just about possible that _bt_killitems
will set the wrong items LP_DEAD (on release branches). This could only
happen with merge joins (the sole user of nbtree mark/restore support),
when a concurrently inserted index tuple used a recently-recycled TID
(and only when the new tuple was inserted onto the same page as a
distinct concurrently-removed tuple with the same TID). This is exactly
the scenario that _bt_killitems' check of the page's now-current LSN
against the LSN stashed in currPos was supposed to prevent.
A follow-up commit will make nbtree completely stop conditioning whether
or not a position's pin needs to be dropped on whether the 'buf' field
is set. All call sites that might need to drop a still-held pin will be
taught to rely on the scan-level so->dropPin field recently introduced
by commit e6eed40e. That will make bugs of the same general nature as
this one impossible (or make them much easier to detect, at least).

Traditionally, libpq's pqPutMsgEnd has rounded down the amount-to-send
to be a multiple of 8K when it is eagerly writing some data. This
still seems like a good idea when sending through a Unix socket, as
pipes typically have a buffer size of 8K or some fraction/multiple of
that. But there's not much argument for it on a TCP connection, since
(a) standard MTU values are not commensurate with that, and (b) the
kernel typically applies its own packet splitting/merging logic.
Worse, our SSL and GSSAPI code paths both have API stipulations that
if they fail to send all the data that was offered in the previous
write attempt, we mustn't offer less data in the next attempt; else
we may get "SSL error: bad length" or "GSSAPI caller failed to
retransmit all data needing to be retried". The previous write
attempt might've been pqFlush attempting to send everything in the
buffer, so pqPutMsgEnd can't safely write less than the full buffer
contents. (Well, we could add some more state to track exactly how
much the previous write attempt was, but there's little value evident
in such extra complication.) Hence, apply the round-down only on
AF_UNIX sockets, where we never use SSL or GSSAPI.
Interestingly, we had a very closely related bug report before,
which I attempted to fix in commit d053a879b. But the test case
we had then seemingly didn't trigger this pqFlush-then-pqPutMsgEnd
scenario, or at least we failed to recognize this variant of the bug.

We store values for these options as array elements with the syntax
"name=value", hence a name containing "=" confuses matters when
it's time to read the array back in. Since validation of the
options is often done (long) after this conversion to array format,
that leads to confusing and off-point error messages. We can
improve matters by rejecting names containing "=" up-front.
(Probably a better design would have involved pairs of array
elements, but it's too late now --- and anyway, there's no

A cascading WAL sender doing logical decoding (as known as doing its
work on a standby) has been using as flush LSN the value returned by
GetStandbyFlushRecPtr() (last position safely flushed to disk). This is
incorrect as such processes are only able to decode changes up to the
LSN that has been replayed by the startup process.
This commit changes cascading logical WAL senders to use the replay LSN,
as returned by GetXLogReplayRecPtr(). This distinction is important
particularly during shutdown, when WAL senders need to send any
remaining available data to their clients, switching WAL senders to a
caught-up state. Using the latest flush LSN rather than the replay LSN
could cause the WAL senders to be stuck in an infinite loop preventing
them to shut down, as the startup process does not run when WAL senders
attempt to catch up, so they could keep waiting for work that would
never happen.

PLy_elog_impl and its subroutine PLy_traceback intended to avoid
leaking any PyObject reference counts, but their coverage of the
matter was sadly incomplete. In particular, out-of-memory errors
in most of the string-construction subroutines could lead to
reference count leaks, because those calls were outside the
PG_TRY blocks responsible for dropping reference counts.
Fix by (a) adjusting the scopes of the PG_TRY blocks, and
(b) moving the responsibility for releasing the reference counts
of the traceback-stack objects to PLy_elog_impl. This requires
some additional "volatile" markers, but not too many.
In passing, fix an ancient thinko: use of the "e_module_o" PyObject
was guarded by "if (e_type_s)", where surely "if (e_module_o)"
was meant. This would only have visible consequences if the
"__name__" attribute were present but the "__module__" attribute
wasn't, which apparently never happens; but someday it might.
Rearranging the PG_TRY blocks requires indenting a fair amount
of code one more tab stop, which I'll do separately for clarity.

When a MERGE's target table is the parent of an inheritance tree, any
INSERT actions insert into the parent table using ModifyTableState's
rootResultRelInfo. However, there are two bugs in the way this is
initialized:
1. ExecInitMerge() incorrectly uses a different ResultRelInfo entry
from ModifyTableState's resultRelInfo array to build the insert
projection, which may not be compatible with rootResultRelInfo.
2. ExecInitModifyTable() does not fully initialize rootResultRelInfo.
Specifically, ri_WithCheckOptions, ri_WithCheckOptionExprs,
ri_returningList, and ri_projectReturning are not initialized.
This can lead to crashes, or incorrect query results due to failing to
check WCO's or process the RETURNING list for INSERT actions.
Fix both these bugs in ExecInitMerge(), noting that it is only
necessary to fully initialize rootResultRelInfo if the MERGE has
INSERT actions and the target table is a plain inheritance parent.
Backpatch to v15, where MERGE was introduced.

A few places that access system catalogs don't set up an active
snapshot before potentially accessing their TOAST tables. To fix,
push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might
require accessing one of these TOAST tables, and pop it shortly
afterwards. While at it, this commit adds some rather strict
assertions in an attempt to prevent such issues in the future.
Commit 16bf24e0e4 recently removed pg_replication_origin's TOAST
table in order to fix the same problem for that catalog. On the
back-branches, those bugs are left in place. We cannot easily
remove a catalog's TOAST table on released major versions, and only
replication origins with extremely long names are affected. Given
the low severity of the issue, fixing older versions doesn't seem
worth the trouble of significantly modifying the patch.
Also, on v13 and v14, the aforementioned strict assertions have
been omitted because commit 2776922201, which added
HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot(), was not back-patched. While we
could probably back-patch it now, I've opted against it because it
seems unlikely that new TOAST snapshot issues will be introduced in
the oldest supported versions.

Our GSSAPI code only allows packet sizes up to 16kB. However it
emerges that during authentication, larger packets might be needed;
various authorities suggest 48kB or 64kB as the maximum packet size.
This limitation caused login failure for AD users who belong to many
AD groups. To add insult to injury, we gave an unintelligible error
message, typically "GSSAPI context establishment error: The routine
must be called again to complete its function: Unknown error".
As noted in code comments, the 16kB packet limit is effectively a
protocol constant once we are doing normal data transmission: the
GSSAPI code splits the data stream at those points, and if we change
the limit then we will have cross-version compatibility problems
due to the receiver's buffer being too small in some combinations.
However, during the authentication exchange the packet sizes are
not determined by us, but by the underlying GSSAPI library. So we
might as well just try to send what the library tells us to.
An unpatched recipient will fail on a packet larger than 16kB,
but that's not worse than the sender failing without even trying.
So this doesn't introduce any meaningful compatibility problem.
We still need a buffer size limit, but we can easily make it be
64kB rather than 16kB until transport negotiation is complete.
(Larger values were discussed, but don't seem likely to add
anything.)

Previously, XactLockTableWait() and ConditionalXactLockTableWait() could enter
a non-interruptible loop when they successfully acquired a lock on a transaction
but the transaction still appeared to be running. Since this loop continued
until the transaction completed, it could result in long, uninterruptible waits.
Although this scenario is generally unlikely since XactLockTableWait() and
ConditionalXactLockTableWait() can basically acquire a transaction lock
only when the transaction is not running, it can occur in a hot standby.
In such cases, the transaction may still appear active due to
the KnownAssignedXids list, even while no lock on the transaction exists.
For example, this situation can happen when creating a logical replication
slot on a standby.
The cause of the non-interruptible loop was the absence of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()
within it. This commit adds CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the loop in both functions,
ensuring they can be interrupted safely.

The code that translates SIMILAR TO pattern matching expressions to
POSIX-style regular expressions did not consider that square brackets
can be nested. For example, in an expression like [[:alpha:]%_], the
logic replaced the placeholders '_' and '%' but it should not.
This commit fixes the conversion logic by tracking the nesting level of
square brackets marking character class areas, while considering that
in expressions like []] or [^]] the first closing square bracket is a
regular character. Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions
should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with
specific cases added for all the characters converted outside character
classes like an opening parenthesis '(', dollar sign '$', etc.

One failure noticed is a transaction found in pg_prepared_xacts for the

none after dropping the subscription.
As an extra safety measure, a check is added before dropping the

PgStat_StatTabEntry and AutoVacOpts structs were leaked until
the end of the autovacuum worker's run, which is bad news if
there are a lot of relations in the database.
Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit
risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee
anything about whether its result is long-lived. It appears okay
so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but
I think that API could use a re-think.

Since commit 8b1dccd37c, the PREPARE TRANSACTION WAL record includes
information about dropped statistics entries. However, the WAL resource
manager description function for PREPARE TRANSACTION record failed to
parse this information correctly and always assumed there were
no such entries.
As a result, for example, pg_waldump could not display the dropped
statistics entries stored in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.
The root cause was that ParsePrepareRecord() did not set the number of
statistics entries to drop on commit or abort. These values remained
zero-initialized and were never updated from the parsed record.
This commit fixes the issue by properly setting those values during parsing.
With this fix, pg_waldump can now correctly report dropped statistics
entries in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.

In the grammar, <expr> is a c_expr, which accepts only a limited set
of integer literals and simple expressions without parens. The
deparsing logic didn't quite match the grammar rule, and failed to use
parens e.g. for "5::bigint".
To fix, always surround the expression with parens. Would be nice to
omit the parens in simple cases, but unfortunately it's non-trivial to
detect such simple cases. Even if the expression is a simple literal
123 in the original query, after parse analysis it becomes a FuncExpr
with COERCE_IMPLICIT_CAST rather than a simple Const.

duplication issues caused by replicating already replicated changes.
This can happen when a client acknowledges an LSN it doesn't have to do
anything for, and thus didn't store persistently. After a restart, the
client can send the prior LSN that it stored persistently as an

Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define
__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to
have access to memset_s(). It appears that many platforms are lenient
about this, because we weren't doing it and yet the code appeared to
work anyway. But we now find that with -std=c11, macOS is strict and
doesn't declare memset_s, leading to compile failures since we try to
use it anyway. (Given the lack of prior reports, perhaps this is new
behavior in the latest SDK? No matter, we're clearly in the wrong.)
In addition to the immediate problem, which could be fixed merely by
adding the needed #define to explicit_bzero.c, it seems possible that
our configure-time probe for memset_s() could fail in case a platform
implements the function in some odd way due to this spec requirement.
This concern can be fixed in largely the same way that we dealt with
strchrnul() in 6da2ba1d8: switch to using a declaration-based
configure probe instead of a does-it-link probe.

In an XMLTABLE expression, columns can be marked NOT NULL, and the
parser internally fabricates an option named "is_not_null" to
represent this. However, the parser also allows users to specify
arbitrary option names. This creates a conflict: a user can
explicitly use "is_not_null" as an option name and assign it a
non-Boolean value, which violates internal assumptions and triggers an
assertion failure.
To fix, this patch checks whether a user-supplied name collides with
the internally reserved option name and raises an error if so.
Additionally, the internal name is renamed to "__pg__is_not_null" to
further reduce the risk of collision with user-defined names.

of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more

repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous

different. However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly
there.
In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign

During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in
fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by
vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing
the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an
incorrect value.
Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's
catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward
mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing
the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the
xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for
not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as
running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen
during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in
that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss
seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts.
This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to
prevent the early advancement of xmin.

This assertion, based on pending_since (timestamp used to prevent stats
reports to be too frequent or should a partial flush happen), is reached
when it is found that no data can be flushed but a previous call of
pgstat_report_stat() determined that some stats data has been found as
in need of a flush. So pending_since is set when some stats data is
pending (in non-force mode) or if report attempts are too frequent, and
reset to 0 once all stats have been flushed.
Since 5cbbe70a9c, WAL senders have begun to report their stats on a
periodic basis for IO stats in v16~ and backend stats on HEAD, creating
some friction with the concurrent pgstat_report_stat() calls that can
happen in the context of a WAL sender (shutdown callback doing a final
report or backend-related code paths). This problem is the cause of
spurious failures in the TAP tests.
In theory, this assertion can be also reached in v15, even if that's
very unlikely. For example, a process, say a background worker, could
do periodic and direct stats flushes with concurrent calls of
pgstat_report_stat() that could cause conflicting values of
pending_since. This can be done with WAL or SLRU stats flushes using
pgstat_flush_wal() or pgstat_slru_flush(). HEAD makes this situation
easier to happen with custom cumulative stats.
This commit removes the assertion altogether, per discussion, as it is
more useful to keep the state of things as they are for the WAL sender.
The assertion could use a special state based on for example
am_walsender, but I doubt that this would be meaningful in the long run
based on the other arguments raised while discussing this issue.

Commit 7102070329 fixed a similar bug, but
it missed the case of database-wide ANALYZE ("use_own_xacts" mode).
Commit a07e03fd8f changed consequences
from silent discard of a pg_class stats (relpages et al.) update to
ERROR "tuple to be updated was already modified". Losing a relpages
update of an ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS table was negligible, but a
COMMIT-time error isn't negligible. Back-patch to v13 (all supported

1349d2790 added support so that aggregate functions with an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause could make use of presorted inputs to avoid an implicit
sort within nodeAgg.c. That commit failed to consider that a FILTER
clause may exist that filters rows before the aggregate function
arguments are evaluated. That can be problematic if an aggregate
argument contains an expression which could error out during evaluation.
It's perfectly valid to want to have a FILTER clause which eliminates
such values, and with the pre-sorted path added in 1349d2790, it was
possible that the planner would produce a plan with a Sort node above
the Aggregate to perform the sort on the aggregate's arguments long before
the Aggregate node would filter out the non-matching values.
Here we fix this by inspecting ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions
which have a FILTER clause to see if the aggregate's arguments are
anything more complex than a Var or a Const. Evaluating these isn't
going to cause an error. If we find any non-Var, non-Const parameters
then the planner will now opt to perform the sort in the Aggregate node
for these aggregates, i.e. disable the presorted aggregate optimization.
An alternative fix would have been to completely disallow the presorted
optimization for Aggrefs with any FILTER clause, but that wasn't done as
that could cause large performance regressions for queries that see
significant gains from 1349d2790 due to presorted results coming in from
an Index Scan.

We'd try to drop the partitions of a partitioned index separately,
which is disallowed by the backend, leading to an error during
restore. While the error is harmless, it causes problems if you
try to use --single-transaction mode.
Fortunately, there seems no need to do a DROP at all, since the
partition will go away silently when we drop either the parent index
or the partition's table. So just make the DROP conditional on not
being a partition.

If a GENERATED column is declared to have a domain data type where
the domain's constraints disallow null values, INSERT commands failed
because we built a targetlist that included coercing a null constant
to the domain's type. The failure occurred even when the generated
value would have been perfectly OK. This is adjacent to the issues
fixed in 0da39aa76, but we didn't notice for lack of testing a domain
with such a constraint.
We aren't going to use the result of the targetlist entry for the
generated column --- ExecComputeStoredGenerated will overwrite it.
So it's not really necessary that it have the exact datatype of
the generated column. This patch fixes the problem by changing
the targetlist entry to be a null Const of the domain's base type,
which should be sufficiently legal. (We do have to tweak
ExecCheckPlanOutput to accept the situation, though.)
This has been broken since we implemented generated columns.
However, this patch only applies easily as far back as v14, partly
because I (tgl) only carried 0da39aa76 back that far, but mostly
because v14 significantly refactored the handling of INSERT/UPDATE
targetlists. Given the lack of field complaints and the short
remaining support lifetime of v13, I judge the cost-benefit ratio
not good for devising a version that would work in v13.

Commit 0f21db36d made an assumption that GIN triConsistentFns
would not modify their input entryRes[] arrays. But in fact,
the "shim" triConsistentFn that we use for opclasses that don't
supply their own did exactly that, potentially leading to wrong
answers from a GIN index search. Through bad luck, none of the
test cases that we have for such opclasses exposed the bug.
One response to this could be that the assumption of consistency check
functions not modifying entryRes[] arrays is a bad one, but it still
seems reasonable to me. Notably, shimTriConsistentFn is itself
assuming that with respect to the underlying boolean consistentFn,
so it's sure being self-centered in supposing that it gets to do so.
Fortunately, it's quite simple to fix shimTriConsistentFn to restore
the entry-time state of entryRes[], so let's do that instead.
This issue doesn't affect any core GIN opclasses, since they all
supply their own triConsistentFns. It does affect contrib modules
btree_gin, hstore, and intarray.
Along the way, I (tgl) noticed that shimTriConsistentFn failed to
pick up on a "recheck" flag returned by its first call to the boolean
consistentFn. This may be only a latent problem, since it would be
unlikely for a consistentFn to set recheck for the all-false case
and not any other cases. (Indeed, none of our contrib modules do
that.) Nonetheless, it's formally wrong.

synchronous_standby_names cannot be reloaded safely by backends, and the
checkpointer is in charge of updating a state in shared memory if the
GUC is enabled in WalSndCtl, to let the backends know if they should
wait or not for a given LSN. This provides a strict control on the
timing of the waiting queues if the GUC is enabled or disabled, then
reloaded. The checkpointer is also in charge of waking up the backends
that could be waiting for a LSN when the GUC is disabled.
This logic had a race condition at startup, where it would be possible
for backends to not wait for a LSN even if synchronous_standby_names is
enabled. This would cause visibility issues with transactions that we
should be waiting for but they were not. The problem lasts until the
checkpointer does its initial update of the shared memory state when it
loads synchronous_standby_names.
In order to take care of this problem, the shared memory state in
WalSndCtl is extended to detect if it has been initialized by the
checkpointer, and not only check if synchronous_standby_names is
defined. In WalSndCtlData, sync_standbys_defined is renamed to
sync_standbys_status, a bits8 able to know about two states:
- If the shared memory state has been initialized. This flag is set by
the checkpointer at startup once, and never removed.
- If synchronous_standby_names is known as defined in the shared memory
state. This is the same as the previous sync_standbys_defined in
WalSndCtl.
This method gives a way for backends to decide what they should do until
the shared memory area is initialized, and they now ultimately fall back
to a check on the GUC value in this case, which is the best thing that
can be done.
Fortunately, SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined() is called immediately by
the checkpointer when this process starts, so the window is very narrow.
It is possible to enlarge the problematic window by making the
checkpointer wait at the beginning of SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined()
with a hardcoded sleep for example, and doing so has showed that a 2PC
visibility test is indeed failing. On machines slow enough, this bug
would cause spurious failures.
In 17~, we have looked at the possibility of adding an injection point
to have a reproducible test, but as the problematic window happens at
early startup, we would need to invent a way to make an injection point
optionally persistent across restarts when attached, something that
would be fine for this case as it would involve the checkpointer. This
issue is quite old, and can be reproduced on all the stable branches.

Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ...
or ALTER TYPE ... that don't take a strong lock on table happens
concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens
because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent
transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the
changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache
even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the
changes required to be sent to the client.
This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from
catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions.
This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new
changes after concurrent DDL.
We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of
*publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The
regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the
published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to
resolve a longstanding data loss issue.
An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each
affected table during publication modification. However, this would only
address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...)
and require locking every relation in the database for publications
created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical.
The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14.
The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix
for that branch is still under discussion.

Some tests try to invalidate logical slots on the standby server by
running VACUUM on the primary. The problem is that xl_running_xacts was
getting generated and replayed before the VACUUM command, leading to the
advancement of the active slot's catalog_xmin. Due to this, active slots
were not getting invalidated, leading to test failures.
We fix it by skipping the generation of xl_running_xacts for the required
tests with the help of injection points. As the required interface for
injection points was not present in back branches, we fixed the failing
tests in them by disallowing the slot to become active for the required
cases (where rows_removed conflict could be generated).

WAL senders do not flush their statistics until they exit, limiting the
monitoring possible for live processes. This is penalizing when WAL
senders are running for a long time, like in streaming or logical
replication setups, because it is not possible to know the amount of IO
they generate while running.
This commit makes WAL senders more aggressive with their statistics
flush, using an internal of 1 second, with the flush timing calculated
based on the existing GetCurrentTimestamp() done before the sleeps done
to wait for some activity. Note that the sleep done for logical and
physical WAL senders happens in two different code paths, so the stats
flushes need to happen in these two places.
One test is added for the physical WAL sender case, and one for the
logical WAL sender case. This can be done in a stable fashion by
relying on the WAL generated by the TAP tests in combination with a
stats reset while a server is running, but only on HEAD as WAL data has
been added to pg_stat_io in a051e71e28.

makeDependencyGraphWalker thought that only SelectStmt nodes could
contain a WithClause. Which was true in our original implementation
of WITH, but astonishingly we missed updating this code when we added
the ability to attach WITH to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (and later MERGE).
Moreover, since it was coded to deliberately block recursion to a
WithClause, even updating raw_expression_tree_walker didn't save it.
The upshot of this was that we didn't see references to outer CTE
names appearing within an inner WITH, and would neither complain about
disallowed recursion nor account for such references when sorting CTEs
into a usable order. The lack of complaints about this is perhaps not
so surprising, because typical usage of WITH wouldn't hit either case.
Still, it's pretty broken; failing to detect recursion here leads to
assert failures or worse later on.
Fix by factoring out the processing of sub-WITHs into a new function
WalkInnerWith, and invoking that for all the statement types that
can have WITH.

Since v15 we've had an option to apply a foreign key constraint's
ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or SET NULL action to just some of the
referencing columns. There was not a check for duplicate entries in
the list of columns-to-set, though. That caused a potential memory
stomp in CreateConstraintEntry(), which incautiously assumed that
the list of columns-to-set couldn't be longer than the number of key
columns. Even after fixing that, the case doesn't work because you
get an error like "multiple assignments to same column" from the SQL
command that is generated to do the update.
We could either raise an error for duplicate columns or silently
suppress the dups, and after a bit of thought I chose to do the
latter. This is motivated by the fact that duplicates in the FK
column list are legal, so it's not real clear why duplicates
in the columns-to-set list shouldn't be. Of course there's no
need to actually set the column more than once.
I left in the fix in CreateConstraintEntry() too, just because
it didn't seem like such low-level code ought to be making
assumptions about what it's handed.

compareentry() is declared to work on WordEntryIN structs, but
tsvectorrecv() is using it in two places to work on WordEntry
structs. This is almost okay, since WordEntry is the first
field of WordEntryIN. But on machines with 8-byte pointers,
WordEntryIN will have a larger alignment spec than WordEntry,
and it's at least theoretically possible that the compiler
could generate code that depends on the larger alignment.
Given the lack of field reports, this may be just a hypothetical bug
that upsets nothing except sanitizer tools. Or it may be real on
certain hardware but nobody's tried to use tsvectorrecv() on such
hardware. In any case we should fix it, and the fix is trivial:
just change compareentry() so that it works on WordEntry without any
mention of WordEntryIN. We can also get rid of the quite-useless

It likely would be possible to implement this optimization safely, but we

In the backbranches we just disable the optimization by always passing

As of 15.4, macOS has strchrnul(), but access to it is blocked behind

This is the identical problem that we faced some years ago when Apple

to check the functions' availability. So do the same now for

"the link check doesn't agree with <string.h>" cases with glibc,
which we no longer need since only the header declaration is being

Testing this revealed that the meson version of this check has never
worked, because it failed to use "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new".

relying on erroring out rather than returning false to allow the
GUC machinery handle it gracefully. Other callsites used WARNING
instead of LOG. While neither being not wrong, this changes all
check_ functions do it consistently with LOG.
init_custom_variable gets a promoted elevel to FATAL to keep
the guc_malloc error handling in line with the rest of the
error handling in that function which already call FATAL. If
we encounter an OOM in this callsite there is no graceful
handling to be had, better to error out hard.

The brin_bloom_union() function combines two BRIN summaries, by merging
one filter into the other. With bloom, we have to decompress the filters
first, but the function failed to update the summary to store the merged
filter. As a consequence, the index may be missing some of the data, and
return false negatives.
This issue exists since BRIN bloom indexes were introduced in Postgres
14, but at that point the union function was called only when two
sessions happened to summarize a range concurrently, which is rare. It
got much easier to hit in 17, as parallel builds use the union function
to merge summaries built by workers.
Fixed by storing a pointer to the decompressed filter, and freeing the
original one. Free the second filter too, if it was decompressed. The
freeing is not strictly necessary, because the union is called in
short-lived contexts, but it's tidy.
Backpatch to 14, where BRIN bloom indexes were introduced.

During hot standby, ExpireAllKnownAssignedTransactionIds() and
ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() functions mark old transactions
as no-longer running, but they failed to update xactCompletionCount
and latestCompletedXid. AFAICS it would not lead to incorrect query
results, because those functions effectively turn in-progress
transactions into aborted transactions and an MVCC snapshot considers
both as "not visible". But it could surprise GetSnapshotDataReuse()
and trigger the "TransactionIdPrecedesOrEquals(TransactionXmin,
RecentXmin))" assertion in it, if the apparent xmin in a backend would
move backwards. We saw this happen when GetCatalogSnapshot() would
reuse an older catalog snapshot, when GetTransactionSnapshot() had
already advanced TransactionXmin.
The bug goes back all the way to commit 623a9ba79b in v14 that
introduced the snapshot reuse mechanism, but it started to happen more
frequently with commit 952365cded which removed a
GetTransactionSnapshot() call from backend startup. That made it more
likely for ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() to be called between
GetCatalogSnapshot() and the first GetTransactionSnapshot() in a
backend.

If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type. However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID. That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.
Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless. (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.) This restores the behavior
that existed before bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].
Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector. I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results. Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries. (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

makeWholeRowVar() has different rules for constructing a
whole-row Var depending on the kind of RTE it's representing.
This turns out to be problematic because the rewriter and planner
can convert view RTEs and set-returning-function RTEs into
subquery RTEs; so a whole-row Var made during planning might
look different from one made by the parser. In isolation this
doesn't cause any problem, but if a query contains Vars made
both ways for the same varno, there are cross-checks in the
executor that will complain. This manifests for UPDATE, DELETE,
and MERGE queries that use whole-row table references.
To fix, we need makeWholeRowVar() to produce the same result
from an inlined RTE as it would have for the original. For
an inlined view, we can use RangeTblEntry.relid to detect
that this had been a view RTE. For inlined SRFs, make a
data structure definition change akin to commit 47bb9db75,
and say that we won't clear RangeTblEntry.functions until
the end of planning. That allows makeWholeRowVar() to
repeat what it would have done with the unmodified RTE.

The function calls GetLatestSnapshot() to acquire a fresh snapshot,
makes it active, and was meant to pass it to table_tuple_lock(), but
instead called GetLatestSnapshot() again to acquire yet another
snapshot. It was harmless because the heap AM and all other known
table AMs ignore the 'snapshot' argument anyway, but let's be tidy.
In the long run, this perhaps should be redesigned so that snapshot
was not needed in the first place. The table AM API uses TID +
snapshot as the unique identifier for the row version, which is
questionable when the row came from an index scan with a Dirty
snapshot. You might lock a different row version when you use a
different snapshot in the table_tuple_lock() call (a fresh MVCC
snapshot) than in the index scan (DirtySnapshot). However, in the heap
AM and other AMs where the TID alone identifies the row version, it
doesn't matter. So for now, just fix the obvious albeit harmless bug.
This has been wrong ever since the table AM API was introduced in
commit 5db6df0c01, so backpatch to all supported versions.

If a GIN index search had a lot of search keys (for example,
"jsonbcol ?| array[]" with tens of thousands of array elements),
both ginFillScanKey() and startScanKey() took O(N^2) time.
Worse, those loops were uncancelable for lack of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS.
The problem in ginFillScanKey() is the brute-force search key
de-duplication done in ginFillScanEntry(). The most expedient
solution seems to be to just stop trying to de-duplicate once
there are "too many" search keys. We could imagine working harder,
say by using a sort-and-unique algorithm instead of brute force
compare-all-the-keys. But it seems unlikely to be worth the trouble.
There is no correctness issue here, since the code already allowed
duplicate keys if any extra_data is present.
The problem in startScanKey() is the loop that attempts to identify
the first non-required search key. In the submitted test case, that
vainly tests all the key positions, and each iteration takes O(N)
time. One part of that is that it's reinitializing the entryRes[]
array from scratch each time, which is entirely unnecessary given
that the triConsistentFn isn't supposed to scribble on its input.
We can easily adjust the array contents incrementally instead.
The other part of it is that the triConsistentFn may itself take
O(N) time (and does in this test case). This is all extremely
brute force: in simple cases with AND or OR semantics, we could
know without any looping whatever that all or none of the keys
are required. But GIN opclasses don't have any API for exposing
that knowledge, so at least in the short run there is little to
be done about that. Put in a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS so that at
least the loop is cancelable.
These two changes together resolve the primary complaint that
the test query doesn't respond promptly to cancel interrupts.
Also, while they don't completely eliminate the O(N^2) behavior,
they do provide quite a nice speedup for mid-sized examples.

If a domain type has a default, adding a column of that type (without
any explicit DEFAULT clause) failed to install the domain's default
value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null. This
is unexpected, and it used to work correctly before v11. The cause
is confusion in the atthasmissing mechanism about which default value
to install: we'd only consider installing an explicitly-specified
default, and then we'd decide that no table rewrite is needed.
To fix, take the responsibility for filling attmissingval out of
StoreAttrDefault, and instead put it into ATExecAddColumn's existing
logic that derives the correct value to fill the new column with.
Also, centralize the logic that determines the need for
default-related table rewriting there, instead of spreading it over
four or five places.
In the back branches, we'll leave the attmissingval-filling code
in StoreAttrDefault even though it's now dead, for fear that some

This addresses various corner cases in BackgroundPsql:
- On windows stdout and stderr may arrive out of order, leading to errors not
being reported, or attributed to the wrong statement.
To fix, emit the "query-separation banner" on both stdout and stderr and
wait for both.
- Very occasionally the "query-separation banner" would not get removed, because
we waited until the banner arrived, but then replaced the banner plus
newline.
To fix, wait for banner and newline.
- For interactive psql replacing $banner\n is not sufficient, interactive psql
outputs \r\n.
- For interactive psql, where commands are echoed to stdout, the \echo
command, rather than its output, would be matched.
This would sometimes lead to output from the prior query, or wait_connect(),
being returned in the next command.
This also affected wait_connect(), leading to sometimes sending queries to
psql before the connection actually was established.
While debugging these issues I also found that it's hard to know whether a
query separation banner was attributed to the right query. Make that easier by
counting the queries each BackgroundPsql instance has emitted and include the
number in the banner.
Also emit psql stdout/stderr in query() and wait_connect() as Test::More
notes, without that it's rather hard to debug some issues in CI and buildfarm.

A newline is not added at the end of an empty query result, causing the
banner of the hardcoded \echo to not be discarded. This would reflect

bringing more flexibility.
Note that this change affects 037_invalid_database.pl, where three
queries generated an empty result, with the script relying on the data

When considering a local buffer, the GetBufferDescriptor() call in
BufferGetLSNAtomic() would be retrieving a shared buffer with a bad
buffer ID. Since the code checks whether the buffer is shared before
using the retrieved BufferDesc, this issue did not lead to any
malfunction. Nonetheless this seems like trouble waiting to happen,
so fix it by ensuring that GetBufferDescriptor() is only called when
we know the buffer is shared.

Coverity complained that we weren't doing that, and it's right.
This fix just makes fmtIdEnc() honor the general convention that OOM
causes a PQExpBuffer to become marked "broken", without any immediate
error. In the pretty-unlikely case that we actually did hit OOM here,
the end result would be to return an empty string to the caller,
probably resulting in invalid SQL syntax in an issued command (if
nothing else went wrong, which is even more unlikely). It's tempting
to throw an "out of memory" error if the buffer becomes broken, but
there's not a lot of point in doing that only here and not in hundreds
of other PQExpBuffer-using places in pg_dump and similar callers.
The whole issue could do with some non-time-crunched redesign, perhaps.
This is a followup to the fixes for CVE-2025-1094, and should be
included if cherry-picking those fixes.
Instead of dropping the trailing byte(s) of an invalid or incomplete
multibyte character, replace only the first byte with a known-invalid
sequence, and process the rest normally. This seems less likely to
confuse incautious callers than the behavior adopted in 5dc1e42b4.
While we're at it, adjust PQescapeStringInternal to produce at most
one bleat about invalid multibyte characters per string. This
matches the behavior of PQescapeInternal, and avoids the risk of
producing tons of repetitive junk if a long string is simply given
in the wrong encoding.

In 5dc1e42b4f I fixed bugs in various escape functions, unfortunately as part
of that I introduced a new bug in PQescapeLiteral()/PQescapeIdentifier(). The
bug is that I made PQescapeInternal() just use strlen(), rather than taking
the specified input length into account.
That's bad, because it can lead to including input that wasn't intended to be
included (in case len is shorter than null termination of the string) and
because it can lead to reading invalid memory if the input string is not null
terminated.
Expand test_escape to this kind of bug:
a) for escape functions with length support, append data that should not be
escaped and check that it is not
b) add valgrind requests to detect access of bytes that should not be touched

We need to tell fmtId() what encoding to assume, but this function
doesn't know that. Fortunately we can fix that without changing the

database names in connection requests are effectively binary not text:
no encoding-aware processing will happen on them.
This fixes XversionUpgrade failures seen in the buildfarm. The

This test module tries to verify that different escaping functions behave

- Invalidly encoded input to an escape function leads to invalidly encoded
output
- Trailing incomplete multi-byte characters are handled sensibly
- Escaped strings are parsed as single statement by psql's parser (which
derives from the backend parser)

Previously invalidly encoded input to various escaping functions could lead to
the escaped string getting incorrectly parsed by psql. To be safe, escaping
functions need to ensure that neither invalid nor incomplete multi-byte
characters can be used to "escape" from being quoted.
Functions which can report errors now return an error in more cases than
before. Functions that cannot report errors now replace invalid input bytes
with a byte sequence that cannot be used to escape the quotes and that is
guaranteed to error out when a query is sent to the server.
The following functions are fixed by this commit:
- PQescapeLiteral()

smgrDoPendingSyncs had two distinct risks of integer overflow while
deciding which way to ensure durability of a newly-created relation.
First, it accumulated the total size of all forks in a variable of
type BlockNumber (uint32). While we restrict an individual fork's
size to fit in that, I don't believe there's such a restriction on
all of them added together. Second, it proceeded to multiply the
sum by BLCKSZ, which most certainly could overflow a uint32.
(The exact expression is total_blocks * BLCKSZ / 1024. The
compiler might choose to optimize that to total_blocks * 8,
which is not at quite as much risk of overflow as a literal
reading would be, but it's still wrong.)
If an overflow did occur it could lead to a poor choice to
shove a very large relation into WAL instead of fsync'ing it.
This wouldn't be fatal, but it could be inefficient.
Change total_blocks to uint64 which should be plenty, and
rearrange the comparison calculation to be overflow-safe.
I noticed this while looking for ramifications of the proposed
change in MAX_KILOBYTES. It's not entirely clear to me why
wal_skip_threshold is limited to MAX_KILOBYTES in the
first place, but in any case this code is unsafe regardless
of the range of wal_skip_threshold.

If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default,
the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted.
Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const
in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain
has a NOT NULL constraint. That's fine as far as it goes, but
there are two problems:
1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is
labeled with. It really should have the domain's base type/typmod,
since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output. This can
result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion
function (useless because it's being applied to a null). The
coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd
be better not to create it in the first place.
2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically,
eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree.
The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened,
so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss
preprocessing altogether.
This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion
and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row,
though they could be const-folded away in most cases. Worse, it
seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion
could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to
perform default-function-argument insertion). I'm not aware of
any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be
unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of
CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable.
Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went
back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13).
There are several places in the rewriter that are building null
domain constants the same way as preptlist.c. While those are
before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're
still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away
later, uselessly wasting cycles. Hence, make a utility routine
that all of these places can call to do it right.
Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the
generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some
of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

When running on Windows, canonicalize_path() converts '\' to '/'
to prevent confusing the Windows command processor. It was
doing that in a non-encoding-aware fashion; but in SJIS there
are valid two-byte characters whose second byte matches '\'.
So encoding corruption ensues if such a character is used in
the path.
We can fairly easily fix this if we know which encoding is
in use, but a lot of our utilities don't have much of a clue
about that. After some discussion we decided we'd settle for
fixing this only in psql, and assuming that its value of
client_encoding matches what the user is typing.
It seems hopeless to get the server to deal with the problematic
characters in database path names, so we'll just declare that
case to be unsupported. That means nothing need be done in
the server, nor in utility programs whose only contact with
file path names is for database paths. But psql frequently
deals with client-side file paths, so it'd be good if it
didn't mess those up.

This patch fixes two distinct errors that both ultimately trace
to commit 71d60e2aa, which added the ats_modifiedcols field.
The more severe error is that ats_modifiedcols wasn't accounted for
in afterTriggerAddEvent's scanning loop that looks for a pre-existing
duplicate AfterTriggerSharedData. Thus, a new event could be
incorrectly matched to an AfterTriggerSharedData that has a different
value of ats_modifiedcols, resulting in the wrong tg_updatedcols
bitmap getting passed to the trigger whenever it finally gets fired.
We'd not noticed because (a) few triggers consult tg_updatedcols,
and (b) we had no tests exercising a case where such a trigger was
called as an AFTER trigger. In the test case added by this commit,
contrib/lo's trigger fails to remove a large object when expected
because (without this fix) it thinks the LO OID column hasn't changed.
The other problem was introduced by commit ce5aaea8c, which copied the
modified-columns bitmap into trigger-related storage. It made a copy
for every trigger event, whereas what we really want is to make a new
copy only when we make a new AfterTriggerSharedData entry. (We could
imagine adding extra logic to reduce the number of bitmap copies still
more, but it doesn't look worthwhile at the moment.) In a simple test
of an UPDATE of 10000000 rows with a single AFTER trigger, this thinko
roughly tripled the amount of memory consumed by the pending-triggers
data structures, from 160446744 to 480443440 bytes.
Fixing the first problem requires introducing a bms_equal() call into
afterTriggerAddEvent's scanning loop, which is slightly annoying from
a speed perspective. However, getting rid of the excessive bms_copy()
calls from the second problem balances that out; overall speed of
trigger operations is the same or slightly better, in my tests.

I switched it to use Asia/Singapore, which has a roughly similar UTC

XLogPageRead() checks immediately for an invalid WAL record header on a
standby, to be able to handle the case of continuation records that need
to be read across two different sources. As written, the check was too
generic, applying to any target LSN. Based on an analysis by Kyotaro
Horiguchi, what really matters is to make sure that the page header is
checked when attempting to read a LSN at the boundary of a segment, to
handle the case of a continuation record that spawns across multiple
pages when dealing with multiple segments, as WAL receivers are spawned
they request WAL from the beginning of a segment. This fix has been
proposed by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
This could cause standbys to loop infinitely when dealing with a
continuation record during a timeline jump, in the case where the
contents of the record in the follow-up page are invalid.
Some regression tests are added to check such scenarios, able to
reproduce the original problem. In the test, the contents of a
continuation record are overwritten with junk zeros on its follow-up
page, and replayed on standbys. This is inspired by 039_end_of_wal.pl,
and is enough to show how standbys should react on promotion by not
being stuck. Without the fix, the test would fail with a timeout. The
test to reproduce the problem has been written by Alexander Kukushkin.

structs through fix_scan_expr. Failure to do so means that
AlternativeSubPlans within those expressions won't be cleaned up
properly, resulting in "unrecognized node type" errors since v14.
It seems fairly likely that at least some of the other steps done
by fix_scan_expr are important here as well, resulting in as-yet-
undetected bugs. Therefore, I've chosen to back-patch this to
all supported branches including v13, even though the known
symptom doesn't manifest in v13.

These facilities were originally in the recovery TAP test
039_end_of_wal.pl. A follow-up bug fix with a TAP test doing similar
WAL manipulations requires them, and all these had better not be
duplicated due to their complexity. The routine names are tweaked to
use "wal" more consistently, similarly to the existing "advance_wal".
In v14 and v13, the new routines are moved to PostgresNode.pm.
039_end_of_wal.pl is updated to use the refactored routines, without
changing its coverage.

In the name of ABI stability (that is, to avoid a library major
version bump for libpq), libpq still exports a version of pqsignal()
that we no longer want to use ourselves. However, since that has
the same link name as the function exported by src/port/pqsignal.c,
there is a link ordering dependency determining which version will
actually get used by code that uses libpq as well as libpgport.a.
It now emerges that the wrong version has been used by pgbench and
psql since commit 06843df4a rearranged their link commands. This
can result in odd failures in pgbench with the -T switch, since its
SIGALRM handler will now not be marked SA_RESTART. psql may have
some edge-case problems in \watch, too.
Since we don't want to depend on link ordering effects anymore,
let's fix this in the same spirit as b6c7cfac8: use macros to change
the actual link names of the competing functions. We cannot change
legacy-pqsignal.c's exported name of course, so the victim has to be
src/port/pqsignal.c.
In master, rename its exported name to be pqsignal_fe in frontend or
pqsignal_be in backend. (We could perhaps have gotten away with using
the same symbol in both cases, but since the FE and BE versions now
work a little differently, it seems advisable to use different names.)
In back branches, rename to pqsignal_fe in frontend but keep it as
pqsignal in backend. The frontend change could affect third-party
code that is calling pqsignal from libpgport.a or libpgport_shlib.a,
but only if the code is compiled against port.h from a different minor
release than libpgport. Since we don't support using libpgport as a
shared library, it seems unlikely that there will be such a problem.
I left the backend symbol unchanged to avoid an ABI break for
extensions. This means that the link ordering hazard still exists
for any extension that links against libpq. However, none of our own
extensions use both pqsignal() and libpq, and we're not making things
any worse for third-party extensions that do.

This function expects an "int64" as result and stores the number of

When looking up statistical data about an expression, we do not need
to concern ourselves with the outer joins that could null the
Vars/PHVs contained in the expression. Accounting for nullingrels in
the expression could cause estimate_num_groups to count the same Var
multiple times if it's marked with different nullingrels. This is
incorrect, and could lead to "ERROR: corrupt MVNDistinct entry" when
searching for multivariate n-distinct.
Furthermore, the nullingrels could prevent us from matching an
expression to expressional index columns or to the expressions in
extended statistics, leading to inaccurate estimates.
To fix, strip out all the nullingrels from the expression before we
look up statistical data about it. There is one ensuing plan change
in the regression tests, but it looks reasonable and does not
compromise its original purpose.
This patch could result in plan changes, but it fixes an actual bug,
so back-patch to v16 where the outer-join-aware-Var infrastructure was

Before 728bd991c3, that has improved the support for 2PC files during
recovery, the initial logic scanning files in pg_twophase was done so as
files in the future of the transaction ID horizon were checked first,
followed by a check if a transaction ID is aborted or committed which
could involve a pg_xact lookup. After this commit, these checks have
been done in reverse order.
Files detected as in the future do not have a state that can be checked
in pg_xact, hence this caused recovery to fail abruptly should an
orphaned 2PC file in the future of the transaction ID horizon exist in
pg_twophase at the beginning of recovery.
A test is added to check for this scenario, using an empty 2PC with a
transaction ID large enough to be in the future when running the test.
This test is added in 16 and older versions for now. 17 and newer
versions are impacted by a second bug caused by the addition of the
epoch in the 2PC file names. An equivalent test will be added in these
branches in a follow-up commit, once the second set of issues reported

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
regression test.
In passing, remove the special case for autovac workers in
CheckMyDatabase; it seems cleaner to have AutoVacWorkerMain pass
the INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CONNS flag, now that that does what's
needed.

Commit aac2c9b4fd mandated such locking

Hence, it remained possible to lose VACUUM's inplace update of

For pg_class, REASSIGN OWNED calls ATExecChangeOwner() instead of the

the locking mandate.

The pgoutput module caches publication names in a list and frees it upon
invalidation. However, the code forgot to free the actual publication
names within the list elements, as publication names are pstrdup()'d in
GetPublication(). This would cause memory to leak in
CacheMemoryContext, bloating it over time as this context is not
cleaned.
This is a problem for WAL senders running for a long time, as an
accumulation of invalidation requests would bloat its cache memory
usage. A second case, where this leak is easier to see, involves a
backend calling SQL functions like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes()
which create a new decoding context with each execution. More
publications create more bloat.
To address this, this commit adds a new memory context within the
logical decoding context and resets it each time the publication names
cache is invalidated, based on a suggestion from Amit Kapila. This
ensures that the lifespan of the publication names aligns with that of
the logical decoding context.
Contrary to the HEAD-only commit f0c569d715 that has changed
PGOutputData to track this new child memory context, the context is
tracked with a static variable whose state is reset with a MemoryContext
reset callback attached to PGOutputData->context, so as ABI
compatibility is preserved in stable branches. This approach is based
on an suggestion from Amit Kapila.

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
reports than the ones referenced below, with independent analysis from
many people, but earlier theories on how to fix it were too complicated
to back-patch. The more recently invented cancellation bug was

If the non-recursive part of a recursive CTE ended up using
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple as the table slot type, then a duplicate value
could cause an Assert failure in CheckOpSlotCompatibility() when
checking the hash table for the duplicate value. The expected slot type
for the deform step was TTSOpsMinimalTuple so the Assert failed when the
TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot was used.
This is a long-standing bug which we likely didn't notice because it
seems much more likely that the non-recursive term would have required
projection and used a TTSOpsVirtual slot, which CheckOpSlotCompatibility
is ok with.
There doesn't seem to be any harm done here other than the Assert
failure. Both TTSOpsMinimalTuple and TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple slot types
require tuple deformation, so the EEOP_*_FETCHSOME ExprState step would
have properly existed in the ExprState.
The solution is to pass NULL for the ExecBuildGroupingEqual's 'lops'
parameter. This means the ExprState's EEOP_*_FETCHSOME step won't
expect a fixed slot type. This makes CheckOpSlotCompatibility() happy as
no checking is performed when the ExprEvalStep is not expecting a fixed
slot type.

If an owned sequence is considered interesting, force its owning
table to be marked interesting too. This ensures, in particular,
that we'll fetch the owning table's column names so we have the
data needed for ALTER TABLE ... ADD GENERATED. Previously there were
edge cases where pg_dump could get SIGSEGV due to not having filled in
the column names. (The known case is where the owning table has been
made part of an extension while its identity sequence is not a member;
but there may be others.)
Also, if it's an identity sequence, force its dumped-components mask
to exactly match the owning table: dump definition only if we're
dumping the table's definition, dump data only if we're dumping the
table's data, etc. This generalizes the code introduced in commit
b965f2617 that set the sequence's dump mask to NONE if the owning
table's mask is NONE. That's insufficient to prevent failures,
because for example the table's mask might only request dumping ACLs,
which would lead us to still emit ALTER TABLE ADD GENERATED even
though we didn't create the table. It seems better to treat an
identity sequence as though it were an inseparable aspect of the
table, matching the treatment used in the backend's dependency logic.
Perhaps this policy needs additional refinement, but let's wait to
see some field use-cases before changing it further.
While here, add a comment in pg_dump.h warning against writing tests
like "if (dobj->dump == DUMP_COMPONENT_NONE)", which was a bug in this
case. There is one other example in getPublicationNamespaces, which
if it's not a bug is at least remarkably unclear and under-documented.
Changing that requires a separate discussion, however.

On failure, the pg_upgrade log files are automatically appended to the
test log file, but the information reported was inconsistent.
A header, with the log file name, was reported with note(), while the
log contents and a footer used print(), making it harder to diagnose
failures when these are split into console output and test log file
because the pg_upgrade log file path in the header may not be included
in the test log file.
The output is now consolidated so as the header uses print() rather than
note(). An extra note() is added to inform that the contents of a
pg_upgrade log file are appended to the test log file.
The diffs from the regression test suite and dump files all use print()
to show their contents on failure.

This routine documented that "iterations" would use a default value if
set to 0 by the caller. However, the iteration should always be set by
the caller to a value strictly more than 0, as documented by an
assertion.
Oversight in b577743000, that has made the iteration count of SCRAM
configurable.

Our parallel-mode code only works when we are executing a query
in full, so ExecutePlan must disable parallel mode when it is
asked to do partial execution. The previous logic for this
involved passing down a flag (variously named execute_once or
run_once) from callers of ExecutorRun or PortalRun. This is
overcomplicated, and unsurprisingly some of the callers didn't
get it right, since it requires keeping state that not all of
them have handy; not to mention that the requirements for it were
undocumented. That led to assertion failures in some corner
cases. The only state we really need for this is the existing
QueryDesc.already_executed flag, so let's just put all the
responsibility in ExecutePlan. (It could have been done in
ExecutorRun too, leading to a slightly shorter patch -- but if
there's ever more than one caller of ExecutePlan, it seems better
to have this logic in the subroutine than the callers.)
This makes those ExecutorRun/PortalRun parameters unnecessary.
In master it seems okay to just remove them, returning the
API for those functions to what it was before parallelism.
Such an API break is clearly not okay in stable branches,
but for them we can just leave the parameters in place after
documenting that they do nothing.
Per report from Yugo Nagata, who also reviewed and tested
this patch. Back-patch to all supported branches.

pgstat_write_statsfile() discards any entries marked as dropped from
being written to the stats file at shutdown, and also included an
assertion based on the same condition.
The intention of the assertion is to track that no pgstats entries
should be left around as terminating backends should drop any entries
they still hold references on before the stats file is written by the
checkpointer, and it not worth taking down the server in this case if
there is a bug making that possible.
Let's improve the comment of this area to document clearly what's
intended.
Based on a discussion with Bertrand Drouvot and Anton A. Melnikov.
