LZ4File_write() did not advance the input pointer on subsequent invocations of
LZ4F_compressUpdate(). As a result the generated compressed output would be a
compressed version of the same input chunk.
Tests failed to catch this error because the data would comfortably fit
within the default buffer size, as a single chunk. Tests have been added
to provide adequate coverage of multi-chunk compression.
WriteDataToArchiveLZ4() which is also using LZ4F_compressUpdate() did
not suffer from this omission.

As written, pg_dump would call twice parse_compress_specification() for
the custom and directory formats to build a compression specification if
no compression option is defined, as these formats should be compressed
by default when compiled with zlib, or use no compression without zlib.
This made the code logic quite confusing, and the first compression
specification built would be incorrect before being overwritten by the
second one.
Rather than creating two compression specifications, this commit changes
a bit the order of the checks for the compression options so as
compression_algorithm_str is now set to a correct value for the custom
and format directory when no compression option is defined. This makes
the code easier to understand, as parse_compress_specification() is now
called once for all the format, with or without user-specified
compression methods. One comment was also confusing for the non-zlib
case, so remove it while on it.
This code has been introduced in 5e73a60 when adding support for
compression specifications in pg_dump.

We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with
contype='n'.
We propagate these constraints during operations such as adding
inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions, creating
tables LIKE other tables. We mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations; for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match NOT NULL ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it;
instead we match by column number. This means we don't require the
constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them from system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
This has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by
Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'),
which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was
killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring additional pg_attribute columns to
track the OID of the NOT NULL constraint for that column.

Allow pg_dump to use the zstd compression, in addition to gzip/lz4. Bulk
of the new compression method is implemented in compress_zstd.{c,h},
covering the pg_dump compression APIs. The rest of the patch adds test
and makes various places aware of the new compression method.
The zstd library (which this patch relies on) supports multithreaded
compression since version 1.5. We however disallow that feature for now,
as it might interfere with parallel backups on platforms that rely on
threads (e.g. Windows). This can be improved / relaxed in the future.
This also fixes a minor issue in InitDiscoverCompressFileHandle(), which
was not updated to check if the file already has the .lz4 extension.
Adding zstd compression was originally proposed in 2020 (see the second

Convert to BCP47 language tags before storing in the catalog, except
during binary upgrade or when the locale comes from an existing
collation or template database.
The resulting language tags can vary slightly between ICU
versions. For instance, "@colBackwards=yes" is converted to
"und-u-kb-true" in older versions of ICU, and to the simpler (but
equivalent) "und-u-kb" in newer versions.
The process of canonicalizing to a language tag also understands more
input locale string formats than ucol_open(). For instance,
"fr_CA.UTF-8" is misinterpreted by ucol_open() and the region is
ignored; effectively treating it the same as the locale "fr" and
opening the wrong collator. Canonicalization properly interprets the
language and region, resulting in the language tag "fr-CA", which can
then be understood by ucol_open().
This commit fixes a problem in prior versions due to ucol_open()
misinterpreting locale strings as described above. For instance,
creating an ICU collation with locale "fr_CA.UTF-8" would store that
string directly in the catalog, which would later be passed to (and
misinterpreted by) ucol_open(). After this commit, the locale string
will be canonicalized to language tag "fr-CA" in the catalog, which
will be properly understood by ucol_open(). Because this fix affects
the resulting collator, we cannot change the locale string stored in
the catalog for existing databases or collations; otherwise we'd risk
corrupting indexes. Therefore, only canonicalize locales for
newly-created (not upgraded) collations/databases. For similar
reasons, do not backport.

After 0da243fed0 got committed, it was reported that in some cases the
compression ratio is rather poor - particularly for custom format with
narrow tables - due to writing the LZ4 header/footer for each row.
This commit switches to LZ4F (LZ4 frame format), eliminating most of the
overhead and greatly improving the compression ratio. This makes the
compressed size about the same for plain and custom formats (just like
for gzip, for example).
LZ4F is now used by both compression APIs, which allowed refactoring and
reusing more of the code. For consistency this also renames the LZ4File
struct to LZ4State, and a number of functions are now prefixed with
LZ4Stream_ (instead of LZ4File_).

This role can be granted to non-superusers to allow them to issue
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION. The non-superuser must additionally have CREATE
permissions on the database in which the subscription is to be
created.
Most forms of ALTER SUBSCRIPTION, including ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. SKIP,
now require only that the role performing the operation own the
subscription, or inherit the privileges of the owner. However, to
use ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... RENAME or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... OWNER TO,
you also need CREATE permission on the database. This is similar to
what we do for schemas. To change the owner of a schema, you must also
have permission to SET ROLE to the new owner, similar to what we do
for other object types.
Non-superusers are required to specify a password for authentication
and the remote side must use the password, similar to what is required
for postgres_fdw and dblink. A superuser who wants a non-superuser to
own a subscription that does not rely on password authentication may
set the new password_required=false property on that subscription. A
non-superuser may not set password_required=false and may not modify a
subscription that already has password_required=false.
This new password_required subscription property works much like the
eponymous postgres_fdw property. In both cases, the actual semantics
are that a password is not required if either (1) the property is set
to false or (2) the relevant user is the superuser.

The pg_dump Compressor API has three basic callbacks - Allocate, Write
and End. The gzip implementation (since e9960732a) wrongly assumed the
Write function would always be called, and deferred the initialization
of the internal compression system until the first such call. But when
there's no data to compress (e.g. for empty LO), this would result in
not finalizing the compression state (because it was not actually
initialized), producing invalid dump.
Fixed by initializing the internal compression system in the Allocate
call, whenever the caller provides the Write. For decompression the
state is not needed, so we leave the private_data member unpopulated.
Introduces a pg_dump TAP test compressing an empty large object.
This also rearranges the functions to their original order, to make
diffs against older code simpler to understand. Finally, replace an
unreachable pg_fatal() with a simple assert check.

Prior to the introduction of the compression API in e9960732a9, pg_dump
would use the ZLIB_IN_SIZE/ZLIB_OUT_SIZE to size input/output buffers.
Commit 0da243fed0 introduced similar constants for LZ4, but while gzip
defined both buffers to be 4kB, LZ4 used 4kB and 16kB without any clear
reasoning why that's desirable.
Furthermore, parts of the code unaware of which compression is used
(e.g. pg_backup_directory.c) continued to use ZLIB_OUT_SIZE directly.
Simplify by replacing the various constants with DEFAULT_IO_BUFFER_SIZE,
set to 4kB. The compression implementations still have an option to use
a custom value, but considering 4kB was fine for 20+ years, I find that
unlikely (and we'd probably just increase the default buffer size).

After 0da243fed0 got committed, we've received a report about a compiler
warning, related to the new LZ4File_gets() function:
compress_lz4.c: In function 'LZ4File_gets':
compress_lz4.c:492:19: warning: comparison of unsigned expression in
'< 0' is always false [-Wtype-limits]
492 | if (dsize < 0)
The reason is very simple - dsize is declared as size_t, which is an
unsigned integer, and thus the check is pointless and we might fail to
notice an error in some cases (or fail in a strange way a bit later).
The warning could have been silenced by simply changing the type, but we
realized the API mostly assumes all the libraries use the same types and
report errors the same way (e.g. by returning 0 and/or negative value).
But we can't make this assumption - the gzip/lz4 libraries already
disagree on some of this, and even if they did a library added in the
future might not.
The right solution is to define what the API does, and translate the
library-specific behavior in consistent way (so that the internal errors
are not exposed to users of our compression API). So this adjusts the
data types in a couple places, so that we don't miss library errors, and
simplifies and unifies the error reporting to simply return true/false
(instead of e.g. size_t).
While at it, make sure LZ4File_open_write() does not clobber errno in
case open_func() fails.

Hash partitioning on an enum is problematic because the hash codes are
derived from the OIDs assigned to the enum values, which will almost
certainly be different after a dump-and-reload than they were before.
This means that some rows probably end up in different partitions than
before, causing restore to fail because of partition constraint
violations. (pg_upgrade dodges this problem by using hacks to force
the enum values to keep the same OIDs, but that's not possible nor
desirable for pg_dump.)
Users can work around that by specifying --load-via-partition-root,
but since that's a dump-time not restore-time decision, one might
find out the need for it far too late. Instead, teach pg_dump to
apply that option automatically when dealing with a partitioned
table that has hash-on-enum partitioning.
Also deal with a pre-existing issue for --load-via-partition-root
mode: in a parallel restore, we try to TRUNCATE target tables just
before loading them, in order to enable some backend optimizations.
This is bad when using --load-via-partition-root because (a) we're
likely to suffer deadlocks from restore jobs trying to restore rows
into other partitions than they came from, and (b) if we miss getting
a deadlock we might still lose data due to a TRUNCATE removing rows
from some already-completed restore job.
The fix for this is conceptually simple: just don't TRUNCATE if we're
dealing with a --load-via-partition-root case. The tricky bit is for
pg_restore to identify those cases. In dumps using COPY commands we
can inspect each COPY command to see if it targets the nominal target
table or some ancestor. However, in dumps using INSERT commands it's
pretty impractical to examine the INSERTs in advance. To provide a
solution for that going forward, modify pg_dump to mark TABLE DATA
items that are using --load-via-partition-root with a comment.
(This change also responds to a complaint from Robert Haas that
the dump output for --load-via-partition-root is pretty confusing.)
pg_restore checks for the special comment as well as checking the
COPY command if present. This will fail to identify the combination
of --load-via-partition-root and --inserts in pre-existing dump files,
but that should be a pretty rare case in the field. If it does
happen you will probably get a deadlock failure that you can work
around by not using parallel restore, which is the same as before
this bug fix.
Having done this, there seems no remaining reason for the alarmism
in the pg_dump man page about combining --load-via-partition-root
with parallel restore, so remove that warning.
Patch by me; thanks to Julien Rouhaud for review. Back-patch to
v11 where hash partitioning was introduced.

As it stands, flagInhAttrs() can make changes in table properties that
change decisions made at other tables during other iterations of its
loop. This is a pretty bad idea, since we visit the tables in OID
order which is not necessarily related to inheritance relationships.
So far as I can tell, the consequences are just cosmetic: we might
dump DEFAULT or GENERATED expressions that we don't really need to
because they match properties of the parent. Nonetheless, it's buggy,
and somebody might someday add functionality here that fails less
benignly when the traversal order varies.
One issue is that when we decide we needn't dump a particular
GENERATED expression, we physically unlink the struct for it,
so that it will now look like the table has no such expression,
causing the wrong choice to be made at any child visited later.
We can improve that by instead clearing the dobj.dump flag,
and taking care to check that flag when it comes time to dump
the expression or not.
The other problem is that if we decide we need to fake up a DEFAULT
NULL clause to override a default that would otherwise get inherited,
we modify the data structure in the reverse fashion, creating an
attrdefs entry where there hadn't been one. It's harder to avoid
doing that, but since the backend won't report a plain "DEFAULT NULL"
property we can modify the code to recognize ones we just added.
Add some commentary to perhaps forestall future mistakes of the
same ilk.
Since the effects of this seem only cosmetic, no back-patch.

pg_restore -l has always been able to read the TOC data of a dump even
if its binary has no support for compression, for both compressed and
uncompressed dumps. 5e73a60 has introduced a backward-incompatible
behavior by switching a warning to a hard error in the code path reading
the header data of a dump, preventing the TOC items to be listed even if
pg_restore -l, with no support for compression, is used on a compressed
dump. Most modern systems should have support for zlib, but it can be
also possible that somebody relies on the past behavior when copying
over a dump where binaries are not built with zlib support (most likely
some WIN32 flavors these days, though most environments should provide
that).
There is no easy way to have a regression test for this pattern, as it
requires a mix of dump/restore commands with different compilation
options, with and without compression. One possibility I see here would
be to have a command-line option that enforces a non-compression check
for a build that supports compression, but that does not seem worth the
cost, either.

warning: could not find where to insert IF EXISTS in statement "-- *not* dropping schema, since initdb creates it"
This is harmless since the dump output is the same either way,
but nonetheless it's undesirable. It's the fault of commit
a7a7be1f2, which created situations where a TOC entry's "defn"
or "dropStmt" fields could be just comments. Although that
commit fixed up the kluges in pg_backup_archiver.c that munge defn
strings, it missed doing so for the one that munges dropStmts.
Per bug# 17753 from Justin Zhang.
