Per experimentation and buildfarm failures, Solaris' "sed"
has got some kind of problem with regexes that use both '*'
and '[[:alpha:]]'. We can work around that by replacing
'[[:alpha:]]' with '[a-zA-Z]', which is plenty good enough
for our purposes, especially since this is only needed in
long-stable branches.
I chose to flat-out remove the second pattern of this sort,
's/except \([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z.]*\), *\([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]*\):/except \1 as \2:/g'
because we haven't needed it since 8.4.
Follow-on to c3556f6fa, which probably missed catching this
because the problematic pattern was already gone when that
patch was written.
Patch v10-v12 only, as the problem manifests only there.
We have a line of dead code in v13-v14, which isn't worth
changing, and the whole mess is gone as of v15.

get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context,
instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is
how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think
they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of
not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations.
The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations
could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext.
Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't
have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the
stats logic. I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no
other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one
in future back-patched fixes. So back-patch to all supported
branches, even though this may be only a latent bug in pre-v15.

If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow
problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance
against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in
the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running
for a long time.) The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary.
An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as
stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior.

The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster
first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve
the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes
an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the
operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal
handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the
postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow,
and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive
right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU
machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware.
The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic
symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option.
While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small
security gain.
It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this
issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might
later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance
reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.)

When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using
standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted
to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create
invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline
would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid
record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately
afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at
the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment
would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried
to read WAL from that file.
The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set
abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode,
but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of
ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite
contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in
ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead.

Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax
UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited
or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the
targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes
referencing it for each child target table. Up to now, we've allowed
all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output
parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots. That
technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans,
and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are
essentially identical. So it doesn't matter which one of the clones
the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to.
However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can
have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and
those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones.
In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one
clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR,
because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of
the join. Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate
an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem
ensuing. The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the
executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates.
To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that
they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime. It still seems fine
for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData
slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much.
This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5.
Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which
the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different
states are pretty rare. There's no issue in v14 and later, because
without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone
MULTIEXPR SubPlans.

SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c,
and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse
until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls.
So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by
converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code
that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.)
There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but
we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that.

There's a convention that externally-visible libpq functions should

crashing. PQflush() and PQisnonblocking() didn't get that memo

When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object,
varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt
memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc().
The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out
from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping
on whatever gets allocated in that memory later.
In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations
(cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations.
I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction
of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just
uses one context for the duration of the sort.
We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert
match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems
like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the
pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically
preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles
because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing
coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer
enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's
far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since
these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting
last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination,
but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't
get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings.
Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is

As of 897795240c, check constraints can
be declared invalid. But that patch didn't update _outConstraint() to
also show the relevant struct fields (which were only applicable to
foreign keys before that). This currently only affects debugging
output, so no impact in practice.
96ef3b8ff1 accidentally copied a not
applicable comment from the float8_pass_by_value code to the
data_checksums code. Remove that.
87d3b35a1c changed pg_upgrade to
checking the checksum version rather than just the Boolean presence of
checksums, but didn't change the field type in its ControlData struct
from bool. So this would not work correctly if there ever is a
checksum version larger than 1.
The set of fields printed by _outConstraint() in the CONSTR_IDENTITY
case didn't match the set of fields actually used in that case. (The
code was probably uncarefully copied from the CONSTR_DEFAULT case.)
Fix that by using the right set of fields. Since there is no read
support for this node type, this is really just for debugging output
right now, so it doesn't affect anything important.
Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION
records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that
information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart,
if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction
that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the
snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong
snapshot.
To fix this problem, this changes the snapshot builder so that it
remembers the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS record
after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark the
transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of initial
running transactions and its commit record has XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. To
avoid ABI breakage, we store the array of the initial running transactions
in the static variables InitialRunningXacts and NInitialRunningXacts,
instead of storing those in SnapBuild or ReorderBuffer.
This approach has a false positive; we could end up adding the transaction
that didn't change catalog to the snapshot since we cannot distinguish
whether the transaction has catalog changes only by checking the COMMIT
record. It doesn't have the information on which (sub) transaction has
catalog changes, and XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS doesn't necessarily indicate
that the transaction has catalog change. But that won't be a problem since
we use snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs.
On the master branch, we took a more future-proof approach by writing
catalog modifying transactions to the serialized snapshot which avoids the
above false positive. But we cannot backpatch it because of a change in
the SnapBuild.

fmgr_sql must make expanded-datum arguments read-only, because
it's possible that the function body will pass the argument to
more than one callee function. If one of those functions takes
the datum's R/W property as license to scribble on it, then later
callees will see an unexpected value, leading to wrong answers.
From a performance standpoint, it'd be nice to skip this in the
common case that the argument value is passed to only one callee.
However, detecting that seems fairly hard, and certainly not
something that I care to attempt in a back-patched bug fix.

Security: CVE-2022-2625
Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was
an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite
the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first
because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we
didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create
an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would
then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be
modified for trojan-horse-type attacks.
Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already
belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing
an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for
previously-free-standing objects changes here.)
For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is
an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension.

I constructed the file for each branch by scraping the file in branch
master for commits that appear in that branch. Because a few additional
pgindent commits have been added to the list in master since the list

The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise
every permutation of their test steps, but AFAICS there is no value in
exercising more than one. This matters because each permutation costs
about six seconds, thanks to the "pg_sleep(6)". Perhaps we could
reduce that, but the useless permutations seem worth getting rid of
in any case. (Note that sto_using_hash_index got it right already.)
While here, clean up some other sloppiness such as an unused table.
This doesn't make too much difference in interactive testing, since the
wasted time is typically masked by parallelization with other tests.
However, the buildfarm runs this as a serial step, which means we can
expect to shave ~40 seconds from every buildfarm run. That makes it
worth back-patching.

We've heard a couple of reports of people having trouble with
multi-gigabyte-sized query-texts files. It occurred to me that on
32-bit platforms, there could be an issue with integer overflow
of calculations associated with the total query text size.
Address that with several changes:
1. Limit pg_stat_statements.max to INT_MAX / 2 not INT_MAX.
The hashtable code will bound it to that anyway unless "long"
is 64 bits. We still need overflow guards on its use, but
this helps.
2. Add a check to prevent extending the query-texts file to
more than MaxAllocHugeSize. If it got that big, qtext_load_file
would certainly fail, so there's not much point in allowing it.
Without this, we'd need to consider whether extent, query_offset,
and related variables shouldn't be off_t not size_t.
3. Adjust the comparisons in need_gc_qtexts() to be done in 64-bit
arithmetic on all platforms. It appears possible that under duress
those multiplications could overflow 32 bits, yielding a false
conclusion that we need to garbage-collect the texts file, which
could lead to repeatedly garbage-collecting after every hash table
insertion.
Per report from Bruno da Silva. I'm not convinced that these
issues fully explain his problem; there may be some other bug that's
contributing to the query-texts file becoming so large in the first
place. But it did get that big, so #2 is a reasonable defense,
and #3 could explain the reported performance difficulties.
