Currently, pg_visibility computes its xid horizon using the
GetOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). The problem is that this horizon can
sometimes go backward. That can lead to reporting false errors.
In order to fix that, this commit implements a new function
GetStrictOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). This function computes the xid
horizon, which would be guaranteed to be newer or equal to any xid horizon
computed before.
We have to do the following to achieve this.
1. Ignore processes xmin's, because they consider connection to other databases
that were ignored before.
2. Ignore KnownAssignedXids, because they are not database-aware. At the same
time, the primary could compute its horizons database-aware.
3. Ignore walsender xmin, because it could go backward if some replication
connections don't use replication slots.
As a result, we're using only currently running xids to compute the horizon.
Surely these would significantly sacrifice accuracy. But we have to do so to
avoid reporting false errors.

with Robert Haas and Tom Lane.

New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

so revert it for now.
One of the failures seen involves the cluster started without the
backup_label, where the archives of the primary are overwritten, causing
recovery failures on Windows. This is simple to fix, but there is
another issue that's creeping behind in the form of an "invalid data in
file" ERROR when parsing the backup_label for the second recovery case,
as an effect of the backup_label data written after retrieving its
contents from pg_backup_stop().

There are currently no tests for the low-level backup method where
pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() are involved while taking a
file-system backup. The tests introduced in this commit rely on a
background psql process to make sure that the backup is taken while the
session doing the SQL start and stop calls remains alive.
Two cases are checked here with the backup taken:
- Recovery without a backup_label, leading to a corrupted state.
- Recovery with a backup_label, with a consistent state reached.
Both cases cross-check some patterns in the logs generated when running

Before this patch, if you took a full backup on server A and then
tried to use the backup manifest to take an incremental backup on
server B, it wouldn't know that the manifest was from a different
server and so the incremental backup operation could potentially
complete without error. When you later tried to run pg_combinebackup,
you'd find out that your incremental backup was and always had been
invalid. That's poor timing, because nobody likes finding out about
backup problems only at restore time.
With this patch, you'll get an error when trying to take the (invalid)
incremental backup, which seems a lot nicer.

There is a very ancient hack in check_sql_fn_retval that allows a
single SELECT targetlist entry of composite type to be taken as
supplying all the output columns of a function returning composite.
(This is grotty and fundamentally ambiguous, but it's really hard
to do nested composite-returning functions without it.)
As far as I know, that doesn't cause any problems in ordinary
functions. It's disastrous for procedures however. All procedures
that have any output parameters are labeled with prorettype RECORD,
and the CALL code expects it will get back a record with one column
per output parameter, regardless of whether any of those parameters
is composite. Doing something else leads to an assertion failure
or core dump.
This is simple enough to fix: we just need to not apply that rule
when considering procedures. However, that requires adding another
argument to check_sql_fn_retval, which at least in principle might be
getting called by external callers. Therefore, in the back branches
convert check_sql_fn_retval into an ABI-preserving wrapper around a
new function check_sql_fn_retval_ext.

The existing PQcancel API uses blocking IO, which makes PQcancel
impossible to use in an event loop based codebase without blocking the
event loop until the call returns. It also doesn't encrypt the
connection over which the cancel request is sent, even when the original
connection required encryption.
This commit adds a PQcancelConn struct and assorted functions, which
provide a better mechanism of sending cancel requests; in particular all
the encryption used in the original connection are also used in the
cancel connection. The main entry points are:
- PQcancelCreate creates the PQcancelConn based on the original
connection (but does not establish an actual connection).
- PQcancelStart can be used to initiate non-blocking cancel requests,
using encryption if the original connection did so, which must be
pumped using
- PQcancelPoll.
- PQcancelReset puts a PQcancelConn back in state so that it can be
reused to send a new cancel request to the same connection.
- PQcancelBlocking is a simpler-to-use blocking API that still uses
encryption.
Additional functions are
- PQcancelStatus, mimicks PQstatus;
- PQcancelSocket, mimicks PQcancelSocket;
- PQcancelErrorMessage, mimicks PQerrorMessage;
- PQcancelFinish, mimicks PQfinish.

Commit 387da18874 moved the code to put socket into non-blocking mode
from socket_set_nonblocking() into the one-time initialization
function, pq_init(). In socket_set_nonblocking(), there indeed was a
risk of recursion on failure like the comment said, but in pq_init(),
ERROR or FATAL is fine. There's even another elog(FATAL) just after
this, if setting FD_CLOEXEC fails.
Note that COMMERROR merely logged the error, it did not close the
connection, so if putting the socket to non-blocking mode failed we
would use the connection anyway. You might not immediately notice,
because most socket operations in a regular backend wait for the
socket to become readable/writable anyway. But e.g. replication will
be quite broken.

The code path in charge of invalidating a replication slot includes a
call to pgstat_drop_replslot(), which would result in removing the
statistics of the slot once invalidated. However, there is no need to
remove the statistics of an invalidated slot as one could still be
interested in looking at them to understand the activity of the slot
until its actual removal.
The initial design of the feature committed in be87200efd used the
approach to drop the slots, which is likely why the statistics were
still removed during the invalidation.
Another problem with this operation is that it was done without holding
ReplicationSlotAllocationLock, leaving it unprotected on concurrent
activity. This part is arguably a bug, but that's a limited problem in
practice so no backpatch is done.
In passing, this commit adds a test to check this behavior. The only
remaining code path where slot statistics are dropped now related to the
slot getting dropped.

For pass-by-reference types, the code added in 0b053e78b, which aimed to
resolve a memory leak, was overly aggressive in resetting the per-tuple
memory context which could result in pfree'd memory being accessed
resulting in failing to find previously cached results in the hash
table.
What was happening was prepare_probe_slot() was switching to the
per-tuple memory context and calling ExecEvalExpr(). ExecEvalExpr() may
have required a memory allocation. Both MemoizeHash_hash() and
MemoizeHash_equal() were aggressively resetting the per-tuple context
and after determining the hash value, the context would have gotten reset
before MemoizeHash_equal() was called. This could have resulted in
MemoizeHash_equal() looking at pfree'd memory.
This is less likely to have caused issues on a production build as some
other allocation would have had to have reused the pfree'd memory to
overwrite it. Otherwise, the original contents would have been intact.

The replication slot stats stored in shared memory rely on an internal
index number. Both pgstat_reset_replslot() and pgstat_fetch_replslot()
lacked some LWLock protections with ReplicationSlotControlLock while

functions to potentially operate on incorrect slots when taken in
isolation in the event of slots dropped and/or re-created concurrently.
Note that pg_stat_get_replication_slot() is called once per slot when
querying pg_stat_replication_slots, meaning that the stats are retrieved
across multiple ReplicationSlotControlLock acquisitions. So, while this
commit improves more consistency, it may still be possible that
statistics are not completely consistent for a single scan of
pg_stat_replication_slots under concurrent replication slot drop or
creation activity.

There is a hook called ExplainOneQuery_hook that gives modules the
possibility to plug into this code path, but, like utility.c for utility
statement execution, there is no corresponding "standard" routine in
the case of EXPLAIN executed for one Query.
This commit adds a new standard_ExplainOneQuery() in explain.c, which is
able to run explain on a non-utility Query without calling its hook.
Per the feedback received from a couple of hackers, this change gives
the possibility to cut a few hundred lines of code in some of the
popular out-of-core modules as these maintained a copy of
ExplainOneQuery(), adding custom extra information at the beginning or
the end of the EXPLAIN output.

Also, when the user cancels \watch by pressing ^C, the Windows

... and in particular don't return them as replica identity.
The motivation for this change is letting the primary keys be seen by
code that derives NOT NULL constraints from them, when creating
inheritance children; before this change, if you had a deferrable PK,
pg_dump would not recreate the attnotnull marking properly, because the
column would not be considered as having anything to back said marking
after dropping the throwaway NOT NULL constraint.
The reason we don't want these PKs as replica identities is that
replication can corrupt data, if the uniqueness constraint is
transiently broken.

You might run out of stack space with recursion, which is not nice in
functions that might be used e.g. at cleanup after transaction
abort. MemoryContext contains pointer to parent and siblings, so we
can traverse a tree of contexts iteratively, without using
stack. Refactor the functions to do that.
MemoryContextStats() still recurses, but it now has a limit to how
deep it recurses. Once the limit is reached, it prints just a summary
of the rest of the hierarchy, similar to how it summarizes contexts
with lots of children. That seems good anyway, because a context dump
with hundreds of nested contexts isn't very readable.

The function recurses, but didn't perform stack-depth checks. It's
just a debugging aid, so instead of the usual check_stack_depth()
call, stop the printing if we'd risk stack overflow.
Here's an example of how to test this:
(n=1000000; printf "BEGIN;"; for ((i=1;i<=$n;i++)); do printf "SAVEPOINT s$i;"; done; printf "SET log_min_messages = 'DEBUG5'; SAVEPOINT sp;") | psql >/dev/null
In the passing, swap building the list of child XIDs and recursing to
parent. That saves memory while recursing, reducing the risk of out of
memory errors with lots of subtransactions. The saving is not very
significant in practice, but this order seems more logical anyway.

This patch provides a way to ensure that physical standbys that are
potential failover candidates have received and flushed changes before
the primary server making them visible to subscribers. Doing so guarantees
that the promoted standby server is not lagging behind the subscribers
when a failover is necessary.
The logical walsender now guarantees that all local changes are sent and
flushed to the standby servers corresponding to the replication slots
specified in 'standby_slot_names' before sending those changes to the
subscriber.
Additionally, the SQL functions pg_logical_slot_get_changes,
pg_logical_slot_peek_changes and pg_replication_slot_advance are modified

When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified,
there are 2 possible causes:
1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current
command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one
source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be
an error.
2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command
in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is
modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the
query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a
plain UPDATE or DELETE command.
In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2),
causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases.
In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update
from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to
silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row,
instead of reporting an error.
Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases.

This implements a radix tree data structure based on the design in
"The Adaptive Radix Tree: ARTful Indexing for Main-Memory Databases"
by Viktor Leis, Alfons Kemper, and ThomasNeumann, 2013. The main
technique that makes it adaptive is using several different node types,
each with a different capacity of elements, and a different algorithm
for accessing them. The nodes start small and grow/shrink as needed.
The main advantage over hash tables is efficient sorted iteration and
better memory locality when successive keys are lexicographically
close together. The implementation currently assumes 64-bit integer
keys, and traversing the tree is in general slower than a linear
probing hash table, so this is not a general-purpose associative array.
The paper describes two other techniques not implemented here,
namely "path compression" and "lazy expansion". These can further
reduce memory usage and speed up traversal, but the former would add
significant complexity and the latter requires storing the full key
with the value. We do trivially compress the path when leading bytes
of the key are zeros, however.
For value storage, we use "combined pointer/value slots", as
recommended in the paper. Values of size equal or smaller than the the
platform's pointer type are stored in the array of child pointers in
the last level node, while larger values are each stored in a separate
allocation. This is for now fixed at compile time, but it would be
fairly trivial to allow determining at runtime how variable-length
values are stored.
One innovation in our implementation compared to the ART paper is
decoupling the notion of node "size class" from "kind". The size
classes within a given node kind have the same underlying type, but
a variable capacity for children, so we can introduce additional node
sizes with little additional code.
To enable different use cases to specialize for different value types
and for shared/local memory, we use macro-templatized code generation
in the same manner as simplehash.h and sort_template.h.
Future commits will use this infrastructure for storing TIDs.
Patch by Masahiko Sawada and John Naylor, but a substantial amount of
credit is due to Andres Freund, whose proof-of-concept was a valuable
source of coding idioms and awareness of performance pitfalls, and
who reviewed earlier versions.

In the corner case where a function returning RECORD has been
simplified to a RECORD constant or an inlined ROW() expression,
ExecInitFunctionScan failed to cross-check the function's result
rowtype against the coldeflist provided by the calling query.
That happened because get_expr_result_type is able to extract a
tupdesc from such expressions, which led ExecInitFunctionScan to
ignore the coldeflist. (Instead, it used the extracted tupdesc
to check the function's output, which of course always succeeds.)
I have not been able to demonstrate any really serious consequences
from this, because if some column of the result is of the wrong
type and is directly referenced by a Var of the calling query,
CheckVarSlotCompatibility will catch it. However, we definitely do
fail to report the case where the function returns more columns than
the coldeflist expects, and in the converse case where it returns
fewer columns, we get an assert failure (but, seemingly, no worse
results in non-assert builds).
To fix, always build the expected tupdesc from the coldeflist if there
is one, and consult get_expr_result_type only when there isn't one.
Also remove the failing Assert, even though it is no longer reached
after this fix. It doesn't seem to be adding anything useful, since
later checking will deal with cases with the wrong number of columns.
The only other place I could find that is doing something similar
is inline_set_returning_function. There's no live bug there because
we cannot be looking at a Const or RowExpr, but for consistency
change that code to agree with ExecInitFunctionScan.
Per report from PetSerAl. After some debate I've concluded that
this should be back-patched. There is a small risk that somebody
has been relying on such a case not throwing an error, but I judge
this outweighed by the risk that I've missed some way in which the
failure to cross-check has worse consequences than sketched above.

in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as
parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the
function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions
or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail.

Auto-generated array types, multirange types, and relation rowtypes
are treated as dependent objects: they can't be dropped separately
from the base object, nor can they have their own ownership or
permissions. We previously felt that, for objects that are in an
extension, only the base object needs to be listed as an extension
member in pg_depend. While that's sufficient to prevent inappropriate
drops, it results in undesirable answers if someone asks whether a
dependent type belongs to the extension. It looks like the dependent
type is just some random separately-created object that happens to
depend on the base object. Notably, this results in postgres_fdw
concluding that expressions involving an array type are not shippable
to the remote server, even when the defining extension has been
whitelisted.
To fix, cause GenerateTypeDependencies to make extension dependencies
for dependent types as well as their base objects, and adjust
ExecAlterExtensionContentsStmt so that object addition and removal
operations recurse to dependent types. The latter change means that
pg_upgrade of a type-defining extension will end with the dependent
type(s) now also listed as extension members, even if they were
not that way in the source database. Normally we want pg_upgrade
to precisely reproduce the source extension's state, but it seems
desirable to make an exception here.
This is arguably a bug fix, but we can't back-patch it since it
causes changes in the expected contents of pg_depend. (Because
it does, I've bumped catversion, even though there's no change
in the immediate post-initdb catalog contents.)

While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its
main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more
specific #include replaces another less specific one.
Some manual adjustments of the automatic result:
- IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global
variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so
those includes are being kept manually.
- All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to
play it safe.
- No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the
patch from exploding in size.
Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in

In a similar effort to 413c18401, separate out the hot and cold paths in
GenerationAlloc() and SlabAlloc() to avoid having to setup the stack frame
for the hot path.
This additionally adjusts how we use the GenerationContext's freeblock.
Freeblock, when set, is now always empty and we only switch to using it
when the current allocation request finds the current block does not have
enough space and the freeblock is large enough to accomodate the
allocation.
This commit also adjusts GenerationFree() so that if we pfree the final
allocation in the current generation block, we now mark that block as
empty and keep it as the current block. Previously we free'd that block
and set the current block to NULL. Doing that meant we needed a special
case in GenerationAlloc to check if GenerationContext.block was NULL.
So this both reduces free/malloc calls and reduces the work done in
GenerationAlloc().
In passing, improve some comments in aset.c

This commit adds two features to the in-core module for injection
points:
- A new callback called "wait" that can be attached to an injection
point to make it wait.
- A new SQL function to update the shared state and broadcast the update
using a condition variable. This function uses an input an injection
point name.
This offers the possibility to stop a process in flight and wake it up
in a controlled manner, which is useful when implementing tests that aim
to trigger scenarios for race conditions (some tests are planned for
integration). The logic uses a set of counters with a condition
variable to monitor and broadcast the changes. Up to 8 waits can be
registered in a single run, which should be plenty enough. Waits can be
monitored in pg_stat_activity, based on the injection point name which
is registered in a custom wait event under the "Extension" category.
The shared memory state used by the module is registered using the DSM
registry, and is optional, so there is no need to load the module with
shared_preload_libraries to be able to use these features.

Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was

The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat

in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what

Previously, backend ID was an index into the ProcState array, in the
shared cache invalidation manager (sinvaladt.c). The entry in the
ProcState array was reserved at backend startup by scanning the array
for a free entry, and that was also when the backend got its backend
ID. Things become slightly simpler if we redefine backend ID to be the
index into the PGPROC array, and directly use it also as an index to
the ProcState array. This uses a little more memory, as we reserve a
few extra slots in the ProcState array for aux processes that don't
need them, but the simplicity is worth it.
Aux processes now also have a backend ID. This simplifies the
reservation of BackendStatusArray and ProcSignal slots.
You can now convert a backend ID into an index into the PGPROC array
simply by subtracting 1. We still use 0-based "pgprocnos" in various
places, for indexes into the PGPROC array, but the only difference now
is that backend IDs start at 1 while pgprocnos start at 0. (The next
commmit will get rid of the term "backend ID" altogether and make
everything 0-based.)
There is still a 'backendId' field in PGPROC, now part of 'vxid' which
encapsulates the backend ID and local transaction ID together. It's
needed for prepared xacts. For regular backends, the backendId is
always equal to pgprocno + 1, but for prepared xact PGPROC entries,
it's the ID of the original backend that processed the transaction.

like the modern POSIX functions they wrap, but again not exactly: the
return type stayed as int. In theory, a ssize_t value could be returned

Writing correct code using atomic variables is often difficult due
to the memory barrier semantics (or lack thereof) of the underlying
operations. This commit introduces atomic read/write functions
with full barrier semantics to ease this cognitive load. For
example, some spinlocks protect a single value, and these new
functions make it easy to convert the value to an atomic variable
(thus eliminating the need for the spinlock) without modifying the
barrier semantics previously provided by the spinlock. Since these
functions may be less performant than the other atomic reads and
writes, they are not suitable for every use-case. However, using a
single atomic operation with full barrier semantics may be more
performant in cases where a separate explicit barrier would
otherwise be required.
The base implementations for these new functions are atomic
exchanges (for writes) and atomic fetch/adds with 0 (for reads).
These implementations can be overwritten with better architecture-
specific versions as they are discovered.
This commit leaves converting existing code to use these new
functions as a future exercise.

Removing this field is a modest simplification, and it brings the

More precisely, what we do here is make the SLRU cache sizes
configurable with new GUCs, so that sites with high concurrency and big
ranges of transactions in flight (resp. multixacts/subtransactions) can
benefit from bigger caches. In order for this to work with good
performance, two additional changes are made:
1. the cache is divided in "banks" (to borrow terminology from CPU
caches), and algorithms such as eviction buffer search only affect
one specific bank. This forestalls the problem that linear searching
for a specific buffer across the whole cache takes too long: we only
have to search the specific bank, whose size is small. This work is
authored by Andrey Borodin.
2. Change the locking regime for the SLRU banks, so that each bank uses
a separate LWLock. This allows for increased scalability. This work
is authored by Dilip Kumar. (A part of this was previously committed as
d172b717c6f4.)
Special care is taken so that the algorithms that can potentially
traverse more than one bank release one bank's lock before acquiring the
next. This should happen rarely, but particularly clog.c's group commit
feature needed code adjustment to cope with this. I (Álvaro) also added
lots of comments to make sure the design is sound.
The new GUCs match the names introduced by bcdfa5f2e2 in the
pg_stat_slru view.
The default values for these parameters are similar to the previous
sizes of each SLRU. commit_ts, clog and subtrans accept value 0, which
means to adjust by dividing shared_buffers by 512 (so 2MB for every 1GB
of shared_buffers), with a cap of 8MB. (A new slru.c function
SimpleLruAutotuneBuffers() was added to support this.) The cap was
previously 1MB for clog, so for sites with more than 512MB of shared
memory the total memory used increases, which is likely a good tradeoff.
However, other SLRUs (notably multixact ones) retain smaller sizes and
don't support a configured value of 0. These values based on
shared_buffers may need to be revisited, but that's an easy change.
There was some resistance to adding these new GUCs: it would be better
to adjust to memory pressure automatically somehow, for example by
stealing memory from shared_buffers (where the caches can grow and
shrink naturally). However, doing that seems to be a much larger
project and one which has made virtually no progress in several years,
and because this is such a pain point for so many users, here we take
the pragmatic approach.

Many modern compilers are able to optimize function calls to functions
where the parameters of the called function match a leading subset of
the calling function's parameters. If there are no instructions in the
calling function after the function is called, then the compiler is free
to avoid any stack frame setup and implement the function call as a
"jmp" rather than a "call". This is called sibling call optimization.
Here we adjust the memory allocation functions in mcxt.c to allow this
optimization. This requires moving some responsibility into the memory
context implementations themselves. It's now the responsibility of the
MemoryContext to check for malloc failures. This is good as it both
allows the sibling call optimization, but also because most small and
medium allocations won't call malloc and just allocate memory to an
existing block. That can't fail, so checking for NULLs in that case
isn't required.
Also, traditionally it's been the responsibility of palloc and the other
allocation functions in mcxt.c to check for invalid allocation size
requests. Here we also move the responsibility of checking that into the
MemoryContext. This isn't to allow the sibling call optimization, but
more because most of our allocators handle large allocations separately
and we can just add the size check when doing large allocations. We no
longer check this for non-large allocations at all.
To make checking the allocation request sizes and ERROR handling easier,
add some helper functions to mcxt.c for the allocators to use.

Presently, string keys are not well-supported for dshash tables.
The dshash code always copies key_size bytes into new entries'
keys, and dshash.h only provides compare and hash functions that
forward to memcmp() and tag_hash(), both of which do not stop at

that the data beyond the first NUL does not adversely affect the

* A new copy_function field is added to the dshash_parameters

dshash tables without string keys.
* A set of helper functions for string keys are provided. These

when attempting DDLs for sequences on relations with an unexpected
relkind, like a table or an index with ALTER SEQUENCE, providing an
extra error detail about the relkind of the relation used in the DDL
query.

When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought
it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to
catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also
fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to
access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying
to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors
as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this
a regular runtime check.
While at it, adjust the similar error check in
systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one
is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as
well use a translatable message if we have one.

2) perform the replacement only when varlevelsup is equal to sublevels_up.
This commit also fixes some outdated comments. And besides adding relevant

build_child_join_sjinfo creates a derived SpecialJoinInfo in

from that may be used in a UniquePath for a child base relation.
This breaks the expectation that all base-relation-level structures
are in the planning-lifespan context, leading to use of a dangling

To fix, copy the expression trees when making a UniquePath.

The new facility makes it easier to optimize bulk loading, as the
logic for buffering, WAL-logging, and syncing the relation only needs
to be implemented once. It's also less error-prone: We have had a
number of bugs in how a relation is fsync'd - or not - at the end of a
bulk loading operation. By centralizing that logic to one place, we
only need to write it correctly once.
The new facility is faster for small relations: Instead of of calling
smgrimmedsync(), we register the fsync to happen at next checkpoint,
which avoids the fsync latency. That can make a big difference if you
are e.g. restoring a schema-only dump with lots of relations.
It is also slightly more efficient with large relations, as the WAL
logging is performed multiple pages at a time. That avoids some WAL
header overhead. The sorted GiST index build did that already, this
moves the buffering to the new facility.
The changes to pageinspect GiST test needs an explanation: Before this
patch, the sorted GiST index build set the LSN on every page to the
special GistBuildLSN value, not the LSN of the WAL record, even though
they were WAL-logged. There was no particular need for it, it just
happened naturally when we wrote out the pages before WAL-logging
them. Now we WAL-log the pages first, like in B-tree build, so the
pages are stamped with the record's real LSN. When the build is not
WAL-logged, we still use GistBuildLSN. To make the test output
predictable, use an unlogged index.

By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication
slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are
automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced
periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary
server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots
information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer
require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker.
The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the
primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next
synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were
updated during the last cycle.
A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new
process.
On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to
drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent
the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots.
A functionality to allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will
be done in a subsequent commit.

The reason was that the ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. SET PUBLICATION will lead to
the restarting of apply worker and after the restart, the apply worker
will use the existing slot and replication origin corresponding to the
subscription. Now, it is possible that before restart the origin has not
been updated and the WAL start location points to a location before where
PUBLICATION exists which can lead to the error "publication ... does not
exist".
Fix it by recreating the subscription as a newly created subscription will
start processing WAL from the recent WAL location and will see the
required publication.
This behavior has existed from the time logical replication was introduced
but is exposed by this test and we have started a discussion for a better
fix for this problem.

This is part of an effort to reduce the number of special cases in the
automatically generated node support functions.
Allegedly, only certain fields of the Constraint node are valid based
on contype. But this has historically not been kept up to date in the
read/write functions. The Constraint node is only used for debugging
DDL statements, so there are no strong requirements for its output,
and there is no enforcement for its correctness. (There was no read
support before a6bc3301925.) Commits e7a552f303 and abf46ad9c7 are
examples of where omissions were fixed.
This patch just removes the custom read/write implementations for the
Constraint node type. Now we just output all the fields, which is a
bit more than before, but at least we don't have to maintain these
functions anymore. Also, we lose the string representation of the
contype field, but for this marginal use case that seems tolerable.
This patch also changes the documentation of the Constraint struct to
put less emphasis on grouping fields by constraint type but rather
document for each field how it's used.

Since the size of the string representation of an uuid is fixed, there
is no benefit in using a StringInfo. This commit simplifies uuid_oud()
to not rely on a StringInfo, where avoiding the overhead of the string
manipulation makes the function substantially faster.
A COPY TO on a relation with one UUID attribute can show up to a 40%
speedup when the bottleneck is the COPY computation with uuid_out()
showing up at the top of the profiles (numbered measure here, Laurenz
has mentioned something closer to 20% faster runtimes), for example when
the data is fully in shared buffers or the OS cache.

This option is useful to bypass the default behavior of init() which
would create the data folder of a new cluster by copying it from a
template previously initdb'd, if any. Copying the data folder is much
cheaper than running initdb, but some tests may want to force that. For
example, one scenario of pg_combinebackup updated in this commit needs a
different system ID for two nodes.
Previously, this could only be achieved by unsetting
$ENV{'INITDB_TEMPLATE'}, which could become a problem in complex node
setups by making tests less efficient.

When the partition pruning code finds an OpExpr with an operator that
does not belong to the partition key's opfamily, the code checks to see
if the negator of the operator is the opfamily's BTEqualStrategyNumber
operator so that partition pruning can support that operator and invert
the matching partitions. Doing this only works for LIST partitioned
tables.
Here we fix a minor correctness issue where when we discover we're not
pruning for a LIST partitioned table, we return PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH.
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH is only meant to be used when the clause may match
another partitioned key column. For this case, the clause is not going
to be any more useful to another partitioned key as the partition strategy
is not going to change from one key to the next.
Noticed while working 4c2369ac5. No backpatch because returning
PARTCLAUSE_NOMATCH instead of PARTCLAUSE_UNSUPPORTED mostly just causes
wasted effort checking subsequent partition keys against a clause that
will never be used for pruning.
In passing, correct a comment for get_matching_range_bounds() which
mentions that an 'opstrategy' of 0 is supported. It's not, so fix the
comment. This was pointed out by Alexander Lakhin.

The invalidation of an active slot is done in two steps:
- Termination of the backend holding it, if any.
- Report that the slot is obsolete, with a conflict cause depending on
the slot's data.
This can be racy because between these two steps the slot mutex would be
released while doing system calls, which means that the effective_xmin
and effective_catalog_xmin could advance during that time, detecting a
conflict cause different than the one originally wanted before the
process owning a slot is terminated.
Holding the mutex longer is not an option, so this commit changes the
code to record the LSNs stored in the slot during the termination of the
process owning the slot.
Bonus thanks to Alexander Lakhin for the various tests and the analysis.

Partition pruning wrongly assumed that, for a table partitioned on a
boolean column, a clause in the form "boolcol IS NOT false" and "boolcol
IS NOT true" could be inverted to correspondingly become "boolcol IS true"
and "boolcol IS false". These are not equivalent as the NOT version
matches the opposite boolean value *and* NULLs. This incorrect assumption
meant that partition pruning pruned away partitions that could contain
NULL values.
Here we fix this by correctly not pruning partitions which could store
NULLs.
To be affected by this, the table must be partitioned by a NULLable boolean
column and queries would have to contain "boolcol IS NOT false" or "boolcol
IS NOT true". This could result in queries filtering out NULL values
with a LIST partitioned table and "ERROR: invalid strategy number 0"
for RANGE and HASH partitioned tables.
