Previously 0 was reported in pg_stat_progress_basebackup.total_backup

Mixing incorrect bounds in the SSL context leads to confusing error
messages generated by OpenSSL which are hard to act on. New range
checks are added when both min/max parameters are loaded in the context
of a SSL reload to improve the error reporting. Note that this does not
make use of the GUC hook machinery contrary to 41aadee, as there is no
way to ensure a consistent range check (except if there is a way one day
to define range types for GUC parameters?). Hence, this patch applies
only to OpenSSL, and uses a logic similar to other parameters to trigger
an error when reloading the SSL context in a session.

Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New
RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access
methods should examine that section.
To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an
fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC,
wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.
Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's
current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the
specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new
rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain
dropped relations until end of transaction.

This patch adds the pseudo-types anycompatible, anycompatiblearray,
anycompatiblenonarray, and anycompatiblerange. They work much like
anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, and anyrange respectively, except
that the actual input values need not match precisely in type.
Instead, if we can find a common supertype (using the same rules
as for UNION/CASE type resolution), then the parser automatically
promotes the input values to that type. For example,
"myfunc(anycompatible, anycompatible)" can match a call with one
integer and one bigint argument, with the integer automatically
promoted to bigint. With anyelement in the definition, the user
would have had to cast the integer explicitly.
The new types also provide a second, independent set of type variables
for function matching; thus with "myfunc(anyelement, anyelement,
anycompatible) returns anycompatible" the first two arguments are
constrained to be the same type, but the third can be some other
type, and the result has the type of the third argument. The need
for more than one set of type variables was foreseen back when we
first invented the polymorphic types, but we never did anything
about it.

While performing hash aggregation, track memory usage when adding new
groups to a hash table. If the memory usage exceeds work_mem, enter
"spill mode".
In spill mode, new groups are not created in the hash table(s), but
existing groups continue to be advanced if input tuples match. Tuples
that would cause a new group to be created are instead spilled to a
logical tape to be processed later.
The tuples are spilled in a partitioned fashion. When all tuples from
the outer plan are processed (either by advancing the group or
spilling the tuple), finalize and emit the groups from the hash
table. Then, create new batches of work from the spilled partitions,
and select one of the saved batches and process it (possibly spilling
recursively).

Since commit 8f321bd16c functional dependencies can handle IN clauses,
which however introduced a possible (and surprising) inconsistency,
because IN clauses may be expressed as an OR clause, which are still
considered incompatible. For example
a IN (1, 2, 3)
may be rewritten as
(a = 1 OR a = 2 OR a = 3)
The IN clause will work fine with functional dependencies, but the OR
clause will force the estimation to fall back to plain per-column
estimates, possibly introducing significant estimation errors.
This commit recognizes OR clauses equivalent to an IN clause (when all
arugments are compatible and reference the same attribute) as a special
case, compatible with functional dependencies. This allows applying
functional dependencies, just like for IN clauses.
This does not eliminate the difference in estimating the clause itself,
i.e. IN clause and OR clause still use different formulas. It would be
possible to change that (for these special OR clauses), but that's not
really about extended statistics - it was always like this. Moreover the
errors are usually much smaller compared to ignoring dependencies.

pg_proc.c and pg_aggregate.c had near-duplicate copies of the logic
to decide whether a function or aggregate's signature is legal.
This seems like a bad thing even without the problem that the
upcoming "anycompatible" patch would roughly double the complexity
of that logic. Hence, refactor so that the rules are localized
in new subroutines supplied by parse_coerce.c. (One could quibble
about just where to add that code, but putting it beside
enforce_generic_type_consistency seems not totally unreasonable.)
The fact that the rules are about to change would mandate some
changes in the wording of the associated error messages in any case.
I ended up spelling things out in a fairly literal fashion in the
errdetail messages, eg "A result of type anyelement requires at
least one input of type anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, anyenum,
or anyrange." Perhaps this is overkill, but once there's more than
one subgroup of polymorphic types, people might get confused by
more-abstract messages.

Ordinarily it's impossible for an actual input of a function to have
declared type ANYARRAY, since we'd resolve that to a concrete array
type before doing argument type resolution for the function. But an
exception arises for functions applied to certain columns of pg_statistic
or pg_stats, since we abuse the "anyarray" pseudotype by using it to
declare those columns. So parse_coerce.c has to deal with the case.
Previously we allowed an ANYARRAY actual input to match an ANYARRAY
polymorphic argument, but only if no other argument or result was
declared ANYELEMENT. When that logic was written, those were the only
two polymorphic types, and I fear nobody thought carefully about how it
ought to extend to the other ones that came along later. But actually
it was wrong even then, because if a function has two ANYARRAY
arguments, it should be able to expect that they have identical element
types, and we'd not be able to ensure that.
The correct generalization is that we can match an ANYARRAY actual input
to an ANYARRAY polymorphic argument only if no other argument or result
is of any polymorphic type, so that no promises are being made about
element type compatibility. check_generic_type_consistency can't test
that condition, but it seems better anyway to accept such matches there
and then throw an error if needed in enforce_generic_type_consistency.
That way we can produce a specific error message rather than an
unintuitive "function does not exist" complaint. (There's some risk
perhaps of getting new ambiguous-function complaints, but I think that
any set of functions for which that could happen would be ambiguous
against ordinary array columns as well.) While we're at it, we can
improve the message that's produced in cases that the code did already
object to, as shown in the regression test changes.
Also, remove a similar test that got cargo-culted in for ANYRANGE;
there are no catalog columns of type ANYRANGE, and I hope we never
create any, so that's not needed. (It was incomplete anyway.)
While here, update some comments and rearrange the code a bit in
preparation for upcoming additions of more polymorphic types.
In practical situations I believe this is just exchanging one error
message for another, hopefully better, one. So it doesn't seem
needful to back-patch, even though the mistake is ancient.

of important cases for the MCV lists:
* IS NOT NULL clauses - We did have queries with IS NULL clauses, but
not the negative case.
* clauses with variable on the right - All the clauses had the Var on
the left, i.e. (Var op Const), so this adds (Const op Var) too.
* columns with fixed-length types passed by reference - All columns
were using either by-value or varlena types, so add a test with
UUID columns too. This matters for (de)serialization.
* NULL-only dimension - When one of the columns contains only NULL
values, we treat it a a special case during (de)serialization.
* arrays containing NULL - When the constant parameter contains NULL
value, we need to handle it correctly during estimation, for all
IN, ANY and ALL clauses.

resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to
cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input.
The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or
output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed.
While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce
the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution. ISTM that
resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so
rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups
it requires for itself.
With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove
it in HEAD. In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug)
just in case any external code is using it.
While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c
with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types:
* Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result
flag. This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more
flags.
* Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and
resolve_polymorphic_argtypes().
* Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum;
the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing
"return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error
message. (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only
occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type
info from it.)
* For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if
we fail to resolve a polymorphic type.
The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to

Until now functional dependencies supported only simple equality clauses
and clauses that can be trivially translated to equalities. This commit
allows estimation of some ScalarArrayOpExpr (IN/ANY) clauses.
For IN clauses we can do this thanks to using operator with equality
semantics, which means an IN clause
WHERE c IN (1, 2, ..., N)
can be translated to
WHERE (c = 1 OR c = 2 OR ... OR c = N)
IN clauses are now considered compatible with functional dependencies,
and rely on the same assumption of consistency of queries with data
(which is an assumption we already used for simple equality clauses).
This applies also to ALL clauses with an equality operator, which can be
considered equivalent to IN clause.
ALL clauses are still considered incompatible, although there's some
discussion about maybe relaxing this in the future.

This coding technique is undesirable because (a) it leaks the FD for
the rest of the transaction if the SRF is not run to completion, and
(b) allocated FDs are a scarce resource, but multiple interleaved
uses of the relevant functions could eat many such FDs.
In v11 and later, a query such as "SELECT pg_ls_waldir() LIMIT 1"
yields a warning about the leaked FD, and the only reason there's
no warning in earlier branches is that fd.c didn't whine about such
leaks before commit 9cb7db3f0. Even disregarding the warning, it

Previously, this code just smashed all types of DefElem values to
strings, cavalierly reasoning that nobody would care. But in point of
fact, most of the defGetFoo functions do distinguish among different
input syntaxes; for instance defGetBoolean will accept 1 as an integer
but not "1" as a string. This led to CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY accepting 0 and 1 as values for boolean dictionary
properties, only to have the dictionary fail at runtime.
We can upgrade this behavior by teaching serialize_deflist that it
does not need to quote T_Integer or T_Float nodes' values on output,
and then teaching deserialize_deflist to restore unquoted integer or
float values as the appropriate node type. This should not break
anything using pg_ts_dict.dictinitoption, since that field is just
defined as being something valid to include in CREATE TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY.
deserialize_deflist is also used to parse the options arguments
for the ts_headline family of functions, but so far as I can see
this won't cause any problems there either: the only consumer of
that output is prsd_headline which always uses defGetString.

Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to:
* Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type;
* Promote a non-toastable type to toastable;
* Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type;
* Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type;
* Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type.
The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others
require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems.
The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to
upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of
alterable properties is biased towards that use-case. However
it's also true that changing some other properties would be
a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or

Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier

A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions,

way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those
conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to
automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style,
to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers.
It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out
the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer
needed and can be dropped.
This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges

The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string
comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a
new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is
stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with
a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource
managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a
CommandTagBehavior struct.
Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a
QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information
about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in
EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string.
EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings
in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

When deciding on the local rscale to use for the Taylor series
expansion, ln_var() neglected to account for the fact that the result
is subsequently multiplied by a factor of 2^(nsqrt+1), where nsqrt is
the number of square root operations performed in the range reduction
step, which can be as high as 22 for very large inputs. This could
result in a loss of precision, particularly when combined with large
rscale values, for which a large number of Taylor series terms is
required (up to around 400).
Fix by computing a few extra digits in the Taylor series, based on the
weight of the multiplicative factor log10(2^(nsqrt+1)). It remains to
be proven whether or not the other 8 extra digits used for the Taylor
series is appropriate, but this at least deals with the obvious
oversight of failing to account for the effects of the final
multiplication.

Commit 356687bd8 omitted to remove leftover code for destroying
a hashed subplan's hash tables, with the result that the tables
were always rebuilt not reused; this leads to severe memory
leakage if a hashed subplan is re-executed enough times.
Moreover, the code for reusing the hashnulls table had a typo
that would have made it do the wrong thing if it were reached.
Looking at the code coverage report shows severe under-coverage
of the potential callers of ResetTupleHashTable, so add some test
cases that exercise them.

eval_const_expressions sometimes produced RelabelType nodes that
were useless because they just relabeled an expression to the same
exposed type it already had. This is worth avoiding because it can
cause two equivalent expressions to not be equal(), preventing
recognition of useful optimizations. In the test case added here,
an unpatched planner fails to notice that the "sqli = constant" clause
renders a sort step unnecessary, because one code path produces an
extra RelabelType and another doesn't.
Fix by ensuring that eval_const_expressions_mutator's T_RelabelType
case will not add in an unnecessary RelabelType. Also save some
code by sharing a subroutine with the effectively-equivalent cases
for CollateExpr and CoerceToDomain. (CollateExpr had no bug, and
I think that the case couldn't arise with CoerceToDomain, but
it seems prudent to do the same check for all three cases.)
Back-patch to v12. In principle this has been wrong all along,
but I haven't seen a case where it causes visible misbehavior
before v12, so refrain from changing stable branches unnecessarily.

Deduplication reduces the storage overhead of duplicates in indexes that
use the standard nbtree index access method. The deduplication process
is applied lazily, after the point where opportunistic deletion of
LP_DEAD-marked index tuples occurs. Deduplication is only applied at
the point where a leaf page split would otherwise be required. New
posting list tuples are formed by merging together existing duplicate
tuples. The physical representation of the items on an nbtree leaf page
is made more space efficient by deduplication, but the logical contents
of the page are not changed. Even unique indexes make use of
deduplication as a way of controlling bloat from duplicates whose TIDs
point to different versions of the same logical table row.
The lazy approach taken by nbtree has significant advantages over a GIN
style eager approach. Most individual inserts of index tuples have
exactly the same overhead as before. The extra overhead of
deduplication is amortized across insertions, just like the overhead of
page splits. The key space of indexes works in the same way as it has
since commit dd299df8 (the commit that made heap TID a tiebreaker
column).
Testing has shown that nbtree deduplication can generally make indexes
with about 10 or 15 tuples for each distinct key value about 2.5X - 4X
smaller, even with single column integer indexes (e.g., an index on a
referencing column that accompanies a foreign key). The final size of
single column nbtree indexes comes close to the final size of a similar
contrib/btree_gin index, at least in cases where GIN's posting list
compression isn't very effective. This can significantly improve
transaction throughput, and significantly reduce the cost of vacuuming
indexes.
A new index storage parameter (deduplicate_items) controls the use of
deduplication. The default setting is 'on', so all new B-Tree indexes
automatically use deduplication where possible. This decision will be
reviewed at the end of the Postgres 13 beta period.
There is a regression of approximately 2% of transaction throughput with
synthetic workloads that consist of append-only inserts into a table
with several non-unique indexes, where all indexes have few or no
repeated values. The underlying issue is that cycles are wasted on
unsuccessful attempts at deduplicating items in non-unique indexes.
There doesn't seem to be a way around it short of disabling
deduplication entirely. Note that deduplication of items in unique
indexes is fairly well targeted in general, which avoids the problem
there (we can use a special heuristic to trigger deduplication passes in
unique indexes, since we're specifically targeting "version bloat").
Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_vacuum changed.
No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since the representation of posting list
tuples works in a way that's backwards compatible with version 4 indexes
(i.e. indexes built on PostgreSQL 12). However, users must still
REINDEX a pg_upgrade'd index to use deduplication, regardless of the
Postgres version they've upgraded from. This is the only way to set the
new nbtree metapage flag indicating that deduplication is generally
safe.

Invent the concept of a B-Tree equalimage ("equality implies image
equality") support function, registered as support function 4. This
indicates whether it is safe (or not safe) to apply optimizations that
assume that any two datums considered equal by an operator class's order
method must be interchangeable without any loss of semantic information.
This is static information about an operator class and a collation.
Register an equalimage routine for almost all of the existing B-Tree
opclasses. We only need two trivial routines for all of the opclasses
that are included with the core distribution. There is one routine for
opclasses that index non-collatable types (which returns 'true'
unconditionally), plus another routine for collatable types (which
returns 'true' when the collation is a deterministic collation).
This patch is infrastructure for an upcoming patch that adds B-Tree
deduplication.

Avoid a join between relations having the FK to detect FK violation.
The planner might optimize this considering the PK must exist on the
referenced side at some point, effectively masking a bug this test

Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run
"CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since
the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing
objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such
objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them
do more than that.
We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser
privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what
we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts
forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days,
so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still
load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database).
And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later
in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether
there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension
style.
Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support
for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM".

The function hash table keys made by compute_function_hashkey() failed
to distinguish event-trigger call context from regular call context.
This meant that once we'd successfully made a hash entry for an event
trigger (either by validation, or by normal use as an event trigger),
an attempt to call the trigger function as a plain function would
find this hash entry and thereby bypass the you-can't-do-that check in
do_compile(). Thus we'd attempt to execute the function, leading to
strange errors or even crashes, depending on function contents and
server version.
To fix, add an isEventTrigger field to PLpgSQL_func_hashkey,
paralleling the longstanding infrastructure for regular triggers.
This fits into what had been pad space, so there's no risk of an ABI
break, even assuming that any third-party code is looking at these
hash keys. (I considered replacing isTrigger with a PLpgSQL_trigtype
enum field, but felt that that carried some API/ABI risk. Maybe we
should change it in HEAD though.)
Per bug #16266 from Alexander Lakhin. This has been broken since
event triggers were invented, so back-patch to all supported branches.
