Before 218f51584d if posting tree page is about to be deleted, then the whole
posting tree is locked by LockBufferForCleanup() on root preventing all the
concurrent inserts. 218f51584d reduced locking to the subtree containing
page to be deleted. However, due to concurrent parent split, inserter doesn't
always holds pins on all the pages constituting path from root to the target
leaf page. That could cause a deadlock between GIN vacuum process and GIN
inserter. And we didn't find non-invasive way to fix this.
This commit reverts VACUUM behavior to lock the whole posting tree before
delete any page. However, we keep another useful change by 218f51584d5: the
tree is locked only if there are pages to be deleted.

postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the
outer_plan it's given for a join relation must have a NestLoop, MergeJoin,
or HashJoin node at the top. That's been wrong at least since commit
4bbf6edfb (which could cause insertion of a Sort node on top) and it seems
like a pretty unsafe thing to Just Assume even without that.
Through blind good fortune, this doesn't seem to have any worse
consequences today than strange EXPLAIN output, but it's clearly trouble
waiting to happen.
To fix, test the node type explicitly before touching Join-specific
fields, and avoid jamming the new tlist into a node type that can't
do projection. Export a new support function from createplan.c
to avoid building low-level knowledge about the latter into FDWs.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the faulty coding was added. Note that the
associated regression test cases don't show any changes before v11,
apparently because the tests back-patched with 4bbf6edfb don't actually
exercise the problem case before then (there's no top-level Sort
in those plans).

Our support for multiple-set-clauses in UPDATE assumes that the Params
referencing a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlan will appear before that SubPlan
in the targetlist of the plan node that calculates the updated row.
(Yeah, it's a hack...) In some PG branches it's possible that a Result
node gets inserted between the primary calculation of the update tlist
and the ModifyTable node. setrefs.c did the wrong thing in this case
and left the upper-level Params as Params, causing a crash at runtime.
What it should do is replace them with "outer" Vars referencing the child
plan node's output. That's a result of careless ordering of operations
in fix_upper_expr_mutator, so we can fix it just by reordering the code.
Fix fix_join_expr_mutator similarly for consistency, even though join
nodes could never appear in such a context. (In general, it seems
likely to be a bit cheaper to use Vars than Params in such situations
anyway, so this patch might offer a tiny performance improvement.)
The hazard extends back to 9.5 where the MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK stuff
was introduced, so back-patch that far. However, this may be a live
bug only in 9.6.x and 10.x, as the other branches don't seem to want
to calculate the final tlist below the Result node. (That plan shape
change between branches might be a mini-bug in itself, but I'm not
really interested in digging into the reasons for that right now.
Still, add a regression test memorializing what we expect there,
so we'll notice if it changes again.)

In toast_fetch_datum_slice(), we Assert() that what is passed in isn't
compressed, but we then later had a check to see what the length of if
what was passed in is compressed. That later check is rather confusing
since toast_fetch_datum_slice() is only ever called with non-compressed
datums and the Assert() earlier makes it clear that one shouldn't be
passing in compressed datums.
Add a comment to make it clear that toast_fetch_datum_slice() is just
for non-compressed datums, and remove the dead code.
When a WAL segment is recycled, its ".ready" and ".done" status files
get also automatically removed, however this is not done in a durable
manner. Hence, in a subsequent crash, it could be possible that a
".ready" status file is still around with its corresponding segment
already gone.
If the backend reaches such a state, the archive command would most
likely complain about a segment non-existing and would keep retrying,
causing WAL segments to bloat pg_wal/, potentially making Postgres crash
hard when running out of space.
As status files are removed after each individual segment, using
durable_unlink() does not completely close the window either, as a crash
could happen between the moment the WAL segment is recycled and the
moment its status files are removed. This has also some performance
impact with the additional fsync() calls needed to make the removal in a
durable manner. Doing the cleanup at recovery is not cost-free either
as this makes crash recovery potentially take longer than necessary.
So, instead, as per an idea of Stephen Frost, make the archiver aware of
orphan status files and remove them on-the-fly if the corresponding
segment goes missing. Removal failures follow a model close to what
happens for WAL segments, where multiple attempts are done before giving
up temporarily, and where a successful orphan removal makes the archiver
move immediately to the next WAL segment thought as ready to be
archived.

The stanza of ExecuteTruncate[Guts] that truncates a target table's toast
relation re-used the loop local variable "rel" to reference the toast rel.
This was safe enough when written, but commit d42358efb added code below
that that supposed "rel" still pointed to the parent table. Therefore,
the stats counter update was applied to the wrong relcache entry (the
toast rel not the user rel); and if we were unlucky and that relcache
entry had been flushed during reindex_relation, very bad things could
ensue.

I'm even more surprised that the problem wasn't detected during the

are attached for each table partition. But there's no reason to do this

index to become valid afterwards, because all partitions that get
created/attached get their own index partition already attached to the

Fix by not marking the index as invalid to begin with.

In at least Apple's version of ranlib, the output file is updated to have
a mod time equal to the max of the timestamps of its components, and that
data only has seconds precision. On a filesystem with sub-second file
timestamp precision --- say, APFS --- this can result in the finished
static library appearing older than its input files, which causes useless
rebuilds and possible outright failures in parallel makes.
We've only seen this reported in the field from people using Apple's
ranlib with a non-Apple make, because Apple's make doesn't know about
sub-second timestamps either so it doesn't decide rebuilds are needed.
But Apple's ranlib presumably shares code with at least some BSDen,
so it's not that unlikely that the same problem could arise elsewhere.
To fix, just "touch" the output file after ranlib finishes.
We seem to need this in only one place. There are other calls of
ranlib in our makefiles, but they are working on intermediate files
whose timestamps are not actually important, or else on an installed
static library for which sub-second timestamp precision is unlikely
to matter either. (Also, so far as I can tell, Apple's ranlib doesn't
mess up the file timestamp in the latter usage anyhow.)

Move the responsibility for checking for and reporting a failure from
the only current BufFileSize() caller, logtape.c, to BufFileSize()
itself. Code within buffile.c is generally responsible for interfacing
with fd.c to report irrecoverable failures. This seems like a
convention that's worth sticking to.
Reorganizing things this way makes it easy to make the error message
raised in the event of BufFileSize() failure descriptive of the
underlying problem. We're now clear on the distinction between
temporary file name and BufFile name, and can show errno, confident that
its value actually relates to the error being reported. In passing, an
existing, similar buffile.c ereport() + errcode_for_file_access() site

The API of the function BufFileSize() is changed by this commit, despite
already being in a stable release (Postgres 11). This seems acceptable,
since the BufFileSize() ABI was changed by commit aa55183042, which

During table rewrites (VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), the main heap is logged
using XLOG / FPI records, and thus (correctly) ignored in decoding.
But the associated TOAST table is WAL-logged as plain INSERT records,
and so was logically decoded and passed to reorder buffer.
That has severe consequences with TOAST tables of non-trivial size.
Firstly, reorder buffer has to keep all those changes, possibly spilling
them to a file, incurring I/O costs and disk space.
Secondly, ReoderBufferCommit() was stashing all those TOAST chunks into
a hash table, which got discarded only after processing the row from the
main heap. But as the main heap is not decoded for rewrites, this never
happened, so all the TOAST data accumulated in memory, resulting either
in excessive memory consumption or OOM.
The fix is simple, as commit e9edc1ba already introduced infrastructure
(namely HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL flag) to skip logical decoding of TOAST
tables, but it only applied it to system tables. So simply use it for
all TOAST data in raw_heap_insert().
That would however solve only the memory consumption issue - the TOAST
changes would still be decoded and added to the reorder buffer, and
spilled to disk (although without TOAST tuple data, so much smaller).
But we can solve that by tweaking DecodeInsert() to just ignore such
INSERT records altogether, using XLH_INSERT_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE flag,
instead of skipping them later in ReorderBufferCommit().

differ pre/post upgrade.
It also seems like a generally good idea to make sure such dumps are
comparable, outside of pg_upgrade tests.
LO metadata already was already dumped in an ordered manner as the
metadata is dumped in a well defined order via
sortDumpableObjectsByTypeName() and sortDumpableObjects(). But large
object data is currently not tracked via that mechanism.
As Tom points out it seems possible that at some point dumpBlobs() was
assumed to dump out objects in a well defined order, due to the use of
DISTINCT, which at that time only was done using sorting.

Lane.

The function generated to perform JIT compiled tuple deforming failed
when HeapTupleHeader's t_hoff was bigger than a signed int8. I'd
failed to realize that LLVM's getelementptr would treat an int8 index
argument as signed, rather than unsigned. That means that a hoff
larger than 127 would result in a negative offset being applied. Fix
that by widening the index to 32bit.
Add a testcase with a wide table. Don't drop it, as it seems useful to

pg_upgrade previously copied pg_largeobject_metadata over from the old
cluster. That doesn't work, because the table has oids before
578b229718. I missed that.
As most pieces of metadata for large objects already were dumped as
DDL (except for comments overwritten by pg_upgrade, due to the copy of
pg_largeobject_metadata) it seems reasonable to just also dump grants
for large objects. If we ever consider this a relevant performance
problem, we'd need to fix the rest of the already emitted DDL
too.
There's still an open discussion about whether we'll want to force a
specific ordering for the dumped objects, as currently
pg_largeobjects_metadata potentially has a different ordering
before/after pg_upgrade, which can make automated testing a bit
harder.

To some extent this represents shortcomings in ancient versions of LaTeX,

"\pset format csv", or --csv, selects comma-separated values table format.
This is compliant with RFC 4180, except that we aren't too picky about
whether the record separator is LF or CRLF; also, the user may choose a
field separator other than comma.
This output format is directly compatible with the server's COPY CSV
format, and will also be useful as input to other programs. It's
considerably safer for that purpose than the old recommendation to
use "unaligned" format, since the latter couldn't handle data
containing the field separator character.

As penance for the "\pset format latex" silliness, add some regression
test coverage for the off-the-beaten-path output formats, which formerly
had exactly no coverage, except for some poorly-thought-out (unreadable,
repetitive, and incomplete) tests for asciidoc format.
I make no claims for the behavior exposed here actually being correct;
these test cases are just designed to ensure full code coverage in
fe_utils/print.c. This brings the line coverage for that file up
from ~60% to ~93%.
Commit eaf746a5b unintentionally made psql's "latex" output format
inaccessible, since not only "latex" but all abbreviations of it
were considered ambiguous against "latex-longtable". Let's go
back to the longstanding behavior that all shortened versions
mean "latex", and you have to write at least "latex-" to get
"latex-longtable". This leaves the only difference from pre-v12
behavior being that "\pset format a" is considered ambiguous.
The fact that the regression tests didn't expose this is pretty bad,
but fixing it is material for a separate commit.

A set of failures in buildfarm machines are proving that this is not
quite ready yet because of another set of issues:
- MSVC scripts assume that REGRESS_OPTS can only use top_builddir. Some
test suites actually finish by using top_srcdir, like pg_stat_statements
which cause the regression tests to never run.
- Trying to enforce top_builddir does not work either when using VPATH
as this is not recognized properly.
- TAP tests of bloom are unstable on various platforms, causing various
failures.
The following options are added for extensions:
- TAP_TESTS, to allow an extention to run TAP tests which are the ones
present in t/*.pl. A subset of tests can always be run with the
existing PROVE_TESTS for developers.
- ISOLATION, to define a list of isolation tests.
- ISOLATION_OPTS, to pass custom options to isolation_tester.
A couple of custom Makefile targets have been accumulated across the
tree to cover the lack of facility in PGXS for a couple of releases when
using those test suites, which are all now replaced with the new flags,
without reducing the test coverage. This also fixes an issue with
contrib/bloom/, which had a custom target to trigger its TAP tests of
its own not part of the main check runs.

Early returns from the buildfarm say that most critters are good with
commit cbdb8b4c0, but gaur gives unexpected results with the test case
involving a float8 that's one-ULP-less-than-2^63. It appears that that
platform's version of rint() rounds that value up to 2^63 instead of
leaving it be. This is possibly a bug, and it's also possible that no
other platform anybody is using anywhere behaves likewise. Still, the
point of the test is not to insist that everybody's rint() behaves exactly
the same. Let's use two-ULPs-less-than-2^63 instead, which I've tested
to act the same on gaur as on more modern hardware.

ftoi4 and its sibling coercion functions did their overflow checks in
a way that looked superficially plausible, but actually depended on an
assumption that the MIN and MAX comparison constants can be represented
exactly in the float4 or float8 domain. That fails in ftoi4, ftoi8,
and dtoi8, resulting in a possibility that values near the MAX limit will
be wrongly converted (to negative values) when they need to be rejected.
Also, because we compared before rounding off the fractional part,
the other three functions threw errors for values that really ought
to get rounded to the min or max integer value.
Fix by doing rint() first (requiring an assumption that it handles
NaN and Inf correctly; but dtoi8 and ftoi8 were assuming that already),
and by comparing to values that should coerce to float exactly, namely
INTxx_MIN and -INTxx_MIN. Also remove some random cosmetic discrepancies
between these six functions.

We should never estimate the output of a semijoin to be more rows than
we estimate for an inner join with the same input rels and join condition;
it's obviously impossible for that to happen. However, given the
relatively poor quality of our semijoin selectivity estimates ---
particularly, but not only, in cases where we punt and return a default
estimate --- we did often deliver such estimates. To improve matters,
calculate both estimates inside eqjoinsel() and take the smaller one.
The bulk of this patch is just mechanical refactoring to avoid repetitive
information lookup when we call both eqjoinsel_semi and eqjoinsel_inner.
The actual new behavior is just
selec = Min(selec, inner_rel->rows * selec_inner);
which looks a bit odd but is correct because of our different definitions
for inner and semi join selectivity.
There is one ensuing plan change in the regression tests, but it looks
reasonable enough (and checking the actual row counts shows that the
estimate moved closer to reality, not further away).

Users of the WaitEventSet and WaitLatch() APIs can now choose between
asking for WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH and then handling it explicitly, or asking
for WL_EXIT_ON_PM_DEATH to trigger immediate exit on postmaster death.
This reduces code duplication, since almost all callers want the latter.
Repair all code that was previously ignoring postmaster death completely,
or requesting the event but ignoring it, or requesting the event but then
doing an unconditional PostmasterIsAlive() call every time through its
event loop (which is an expensive syscall on platforms for which we don't
have USE_POSTMASTER_DEATH_SIGNAL support).
Assert that callers of WaitLatchXXX() under the postmaster remember to
ask for either WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH or WL_EXIT_ON_PM_DEATH, to prevent
future bugs.
The only process that doesn't handle postmaster death is syslogger. It
waits until all backends holding the write end of the syslog pipe
(including the postmaster) have closed it by exiting, to be sure to
capture any parting messages. By using the WaitEventSet API directly
it avoids the new assertion, and as a by-product it may be slightly
more efficient on platforms that have epoll().

Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction
of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column,
but as part of the tuple header.
This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd,
as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important
parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the
oid column by default.
The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a
significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That
already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make
table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating
that "specialness" significantly.
WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0).
Remove it.
Removing includes:
- CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be
WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out)
- pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will
issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column).
- restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when
restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column)
- COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids.
- pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH
OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first.
- Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like
plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed.
The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false)
for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of
support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that
do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them.
The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This
commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally
declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the
newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column
naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously
requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via
HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column.
The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in
genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest
oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above
FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the
special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed.
Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all
backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For
the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for
the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog
tables).
The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns
means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded
by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid,
previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid
column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either
have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the
line.
While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the
scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this
now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit
after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other
patches.

As already explained in configure.in, using the OpenSSL version number
to detect presence of functions doesn't work, because LibreSSL reports
incompatible version numbers. Fortunately, the functions we need here
are actually macros, so we can just test for them directly.
Two issues have been spotted and get fixed here:
- When checking for corrupted files, make sure that pg_verify_checksums
complains about the correct file. In order to make the logic more
robust, all files created are immediately removed once checks on them
are done. The error message generated by pg_verify_checksums also now
includes the file name it sees as corrupted.
- Before running corruption-related tests, empty files are generated
which used names mapping with the corrupted files, potentially leading
to conflicts. So use different set of names for both.

Per POSIX, WIFSIGNALED and related macros are provided by <sys/wait.h>.
Apparently on Linux they're also pulled in by some other inclusions,
but BSD-ish systems are pickier. Fixes portability issue in ffa4cbd62.
Per buildfarm.
Previously, any program launched by COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM inherited the
server's setting of SIGPIPE handling, i.e. SIG_IGN. Hence, if we were
doing COPY FROM PROGRAM and closed the pipe early, the child process
would see EPIPE on its output file and typically would treat that as
a fatal error, in turn causing the COPY to report error. Similarly,
one could get a failure report from a query that didn't read all of
the output from a contrib/file_fdw foreign table that uses file_fdw's
PROGRAM option.
To fix, ensure that child programs inherit SIG_DFL not SIG_IGN processing
of SIGPIPE. This seems like an all-around better situation since if
the called program wants some non-default treatment of SIGPIPE, it would
expect to have to set that up for itself. Then in COPY, if it's COPY
FROM PROGRAM and we stop reading short of detecting EOF, treat a SIGPIPE
exit from the called program as a non-error condition. This still allows
us to report an error for any case where the called program gets SIGPIPE
on some other file descriptor.
As coded, we won't report a SIGPIPE if we stop reading as a result of
seeing an in-band EOF marker (e.g. COPY BINARY EOF marker). It's
somewhat debatable whether we should complain if the called program
continues to transmit data after an EOF marker. However, it seems like
we should avoid throwing error in any questionable cases, especially in a
back-patched fix, and anyway it would take additional code to make such
an error get reported consistently.
Back-patch to v10. We could go further back, since COPY FROM PROGRAM
has been around awhile, but AFAICS the only way to reach this situation
using core or contrib is via file_fdw, which has only supported PROGRAM
sources since v10. The COPY statement per se has no feature whereby
it'd stop reading without having hit EOF or an error already. Therefore,
I don't see any upside to back-patching further that'd outweigh the
risk of complaints about behavioral change.

The 'partoids' list which was constructed by the previous version
of this code was necessarily identical to 'inhoids'. There's no
point to duplicating the list, so avoid that. Instead, construct
the array representation directly from the original 'inhoids' list.
Also, use an array rather than a list for 'boundspecs'. We know
exactly how many items we need to store, so there's really no
reason to use a list. Using an array instead reduces the number
of memory allocations we perform.

This didn't actually work: COPY would fail to flush the right files, and

On some operating systems, it doesn't make sense to retry fsync(),
because dirty data cached by the kernel may have been dropped on
write-back failure. In that case the only remaining copy of the
data is in the WAL. A subsequent fsync() could appear to succeed,
but not have flushed the data. That means that a future checkpoint
could apparently complete successfully but have lost data.
Therefore, violently prevent any future checkpoint attempts by
panicking on the first fsync() failure. Note that we already
did the same for WAL data; this change extends that behavior to
non-temporary data files.
Provide a GUC data_sync_retry to control this new behavior, for
users of operating systems that don't eject dirty data, and possibly
forensic/testing uses. If it is set to on and the write-back error
was transient, a later checkpoint might genuinely succeed (on a
system that does not throw away buffers on failure); if the error is
permanent, later checkpoints will continue to fail. The GUC defaults
to off, meaning that we panic.
Back-patch to all supported releases.
There is still a narrow window for error-loss on some operating
systems: if the file is closed and later reopened and a write-back
error occurs in the intervening time, but the inode has the bad
luck to be evicted due to memory pressure before we reopen, we could
miss the error. A later patch will address that with a scheme
for keeping files with dirty data open at all times, but we judge
that to be too complicated to back-patch.

For example AVX2 instructions load data in 256-bit chunks, and gconv

For reasons lost in the mists of time, most postmaster child processes
reset SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU signal handling to SIG_DFL, with the major exception
that backend sessions do not. It seems like a pretty bad idea for any
postmaster children to do that: if stderr is connected to the terminal,
and the user has put the postmaster in background, any log output would
result in the child process freezing up. Hence, switch them all to
doing what backends do, ie, nothing. This allows them to inherit the
postmaster's SIG_IGN setting. On the other hand, manually-launched
processes such as standalone backends will have default processing,
which seems fine.
In passing, also remove useless resets of SIGCONT and SIGWINCH signal
processing. Perhaps the postmaster once changed those to something
besides SIG_DFL, but it doesn't now, so these are just wasted (and
confusing) syscalls.
Basically, this propagates the changes made in commit 8e2998d8a from
backends to other postmaster children. Probably the only reason these
calls now exist elsewhere is that I missed changing pgstat.c along with
postgres.c at the time.
Given the lack of field complaints that can be traced to this, I don't
presently feel a need to back-patch.

This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the
old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap,
minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As
described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of
making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table
access methods.
To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on
slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the
TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That
includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be
allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition
for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps.
I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and
ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more
consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches.
There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but
according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar
performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems
sufficient.
There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke
through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable
storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

This becomes useful when used to retry a transaction after a

While at it, use separate random state for thread administratrivia such

This speeds up write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, COPY, as well
as the future MERGE) on partitioned tables.
This changes the setup for tuple routing so that it does far less work
during the initial setup and pushes more work out to when partitions
receive tuples. PartitionDispatchData structs for sub-partitioned
tables are only created when a tuple gets routed through it. The
possibly large arrays in the PartitionTupleRouting struct have largely
been removed. The partitions[] array remains but now never contains any
NULL gaps. Previously the NULLs had to be skipped during
ExecCleanupTupleRouting(), which could add a large overhead to the
cleanup when the number of partitions was large. The partitions[] array
is allocated small to start with and only enlarged when we route tuples
to enough partitions that it runs out of space. This allows us to keep
simple single-row partition INSERTs running quickly. Redesign
The arrays in PartitionTupleRouting which stored the tuple translation maps
have now been removed. These have been moved out into a
PartitionRoutingInfo struct which is an additional field in ResultRelInfo.
The find_all_inheritors() call still remains by far the slowest part of
ExecSetupPartitionTupleRouting(). This commit just removes the other slow
parts.
In passing also rename the tuple translation maps from being ParentToChild
and ChildToParent to being RootToPartition and PartitionToRoot. The old
names mislead you into thinking that a partition of some sub-partitioned
table would translate to the rowtype of the sub-partitioned table rather
than the root partitioned table.

The assumption made in 1a0586de36 was wrong, as evidenced by
buildfarm failure on locust, which runs with
force_parallel_mode=regress. The tuples accessed in either nodes are
in the outer slot, and we can't trivially rely on the slot type being
known because the leader might execute the subsidiary node directly,
or via the tuple queue on a worker. In the latter case the tuple will
always be a heaptuple slot, but in the former, it'll be whatever the
subsidiary node returns.
Virtual tuple table slots never need tuple deforming. Therefore, if we
know at expression compilation time, that a certain slot will always
be virtual, there's no need to create a tuple deforming routine for
it.

This is important so JIT compilation knows what kind of tuple slot the

Previously this information was computed when JIT compiling an

non-JIT case too (for assertions), therefore it makes sense to move

Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of
storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the
executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native
format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant
conversion overhead.
Different access methods will require different data to store tuples
efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields
in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer
indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding
TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of
slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots.
The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an
executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node
uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by
nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that.
Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type
of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an
appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot.
But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append
node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its
subplans.
Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's
result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's
fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps().
The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically
inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(),
left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node,
that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState.
This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation
of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup
commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still
use the same backing implementation.
While this already partially invalidates the big comment in
tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the
different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

Previously materializing a slot always returned a HeapTuple. As
current work aims to reduce the reliance on HeapTuples (so other
storage systems can work efficiently), that needs to change. Thus
split the tasks of materializing a slot (i.e. making it independent
from the underlying storage / other memory contexts) from fetching a
HeapTuple from the slot. For brevity, allow to fetch a HeapTuple from
a slot and materializing the slot at the same time, controlled by a
parameter.
For now some callers of ExecFetchSlotHeapTuple, with materialize =
true, expect that changes to the heap tuple will be reflected in the
underlying slot. Those places will be adapted in due course, so while
not pretty, that's OK for now.
Also rename ExecFetchSlotTuple to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum and
ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum, as it's likely
that future storage methods will need similar methods. There already
is ExecFetchSlotMinimalTuple, so the new names make the naming scheme
more coherent.

ExecFindInitialMatchingSubPlans has to update the PartitionPruneState's
subplan mapping data to account for the removal of subplans it prunes.
However, that's only necessary if run-time pruning will also occur,
so we can skip it when that won't happen, which should result in not
needing to do the remapping in many cases. (We now need it only when
some partitions are potentially startup-time prunable and others are
potentially run-time prunable, which seems like an unusual case.)
Also make some marginal performance improvements in the remapping
itself. These will mainly win if most partitions got pruned by
the startup-time pruning, which is perhaps a debatable assumption
in this context.
Also fix some bogus comments, and rearrange code to marginally
reduce space consumption in the executor's query-lifespan context.

In commit ecfd55795, I removed sqlda.c's checks for ndigits != 0 on the
grounds that we should duplicate the state of the numeric value's digit
buffer even when all the digits are zeroes. However, that still isn't
quite right, because another possible state of the digit buffer is
buf == digits == NULL (this occurs for a NaN). As the code now stands,
it'll invoke memcpy with a NULL source address and zero bytecount,
which we know a few platforms crash on. Hence, reinstate the no-copy
short-circuit, but make it test specifically for buf != NULL rather than
some other condition. In hindsight, the ndigits test (added by commit
f2ae9f9c3) was almost certainly meant to fix the NaN case not the
all-zeroes case as the associated thread alleged.

Change lock level for renaming index (either ALTER INDEX or implicitly
via some other commands) from AccessExclusiveLock to
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock.
One reason we need a strong lock for relation renaming is that the
name change causes a rebuild of the relcache entry. Concurrent
sessions that have the relation open might not be able to handle the
relcache entry changing underneath them. Therefore, we need to lock
the relation in a way that no one can have the relation open
concurrently. But for indexes, the relcache handles reloads specially
in RelationReloadIndexInfo() in a way that keeps changes in the
relcache entry to a minimum. As long as no one keeps pointers to
rd_amcache and rd_options around across possible relcache flushes,
which is the case, this ought to be safe.
We also want to use a self-exclusive lock for correctness, so that
concurrent DDL doesn't overwrite the rename if they start updating
while still seeing the old version. Therefore, we use
ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, which is already used by other DDL commands
that want to operate in a concurrent manner.
The reason this is interesting at all is that renaming an index is a
typical part of a concurrent reindexing workflow (CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY new + DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY old + rename back). And
indeed a future built-in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY might rely on the ability
to do concurrent renames as well.

If a failure happens when a transaction is starting between the moment
the transaction status is changed from TRANS_DEFAULT to TRANS_START and
the moment the current user ID and security context flags are fetched
via GetUserIdAndSecContext(), or before initializing its basic fields,
then those may get reset to incorrect values when the transaction
aborts, leaving the session in an inconsistent state.
One problem reported is that failing a starting transaction at the first
query of a session could cause several kinds of system crashes on the
follow-up queries.
In order to solve that, move the initialization of the transaction state
fields and the call of GetUserIdAndSecContext() in charge of fetching
the current user ID close to the point where the transaction status is
switched to TRANS_START, where there cannot be any error triggered
in-between, per an idea of Tom Lane. This properly ensures that the

The realfail1 and realfail2 backup-prevention rules always returned
token type FCONST, ignoring the possibility that what we've scanned
is more appropriately described as ICONST. I think that at the
time that code was added, it might actually have been safe to not
distinguish; but since we started allowing AS-less aliases in SELECT
target lists, it's definitely legal to have a number immediately
followed by an identifier.
In the SELECT case, it seems there's no visible consequence because
make_const() will change the type back to integer anyway. But I'm
worried that there are other contexts, or will be in future, where
it's more important to get the constant's type right.
Hence, use process_integer_literal to correctly determine which

classify_index_clause_usage() is O(N^2) in the number of distinct index
qual clauses it considers, because of its use of a simple search list to
store them. For nearly all queries, that's fine because only a few clauses
will be considered. But Alexander Kuzmenkov reported a machine-generated
query with 80000 (!) index qual clauses, which caused this code to take
forever. Somewhat remarkably, this is the only O(N^2) behavior we now
have for such a query, so let's fix it.
We can get rid of the O(N^2) runtime for cases like this without much
damage to the functionality of choose_bitmap_and() by separating out
paths with "too many" qual or pred clauses, and deeming them to always
be nonredundant with other paths. Then their clauses needn't go into
the search list, so it doesn't get too long, but we don't lose the
ability to consider bitmap AND plans altogether. I set the threshold
for "too many" to be 100 clauses per path, which should be plenty to
ensure no change in planning behavior for normal queries.
There are other things we could do to make this go faster, but it's not
clear that it's worth any additional effort. 80000 qual clauses require

Commit 15c729347 was a couple bricks shy of a load: we need to
ensure that expr->plan gets reset to NULL on any error exit,
if it's not supposed to be saved. Also ensure that the
stmt->target calculation gets redone if needed.
The easy way to exhibit a problem is to set up code that
violates the writable-argument restriction and then execute
it twice. But error exits out of, eg, setup_param_list()
could also break it. Make the existing PG_TRY block cover
all of that code to be sure.

This patch fixes several related cases in which pg_shdepend entries were
never made, or were lost, for references to roles appearing in the ACLs of
schemas and/or types. While that did no immediate harm, if a referenced
role were later dropped, the drop would be allowed and would leave a
dangling reference in the object's ACL. That still wasn't a big problem
for normal database usage, but it would cause obscure failures in
subsequent dump/reload or pg_upgrade attempts, taking the form of
attempts to grant privileges to all-numeric role names. (I think I've
seen field reports matching that symptom, but can't find any right now.)
Several cases are fixed here:
1. ALTER DOMAIN SET/DROP DEFAULT would lose the dependencies for any
existing ACL entries for the domain. This case is ancient, dating
back as far as we've had pg_shdepend tracking at all.
2. If a default type privilege applies, CREATE TYPE recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for types in 9.2.
3. If a default schema privilege applies, CREATE SCHEMA recorded the
ACL properly but forgot to install dependency entries for it.
This dates to the addition of default privileges for schemas in v10
(commit ab89e465c).
Another somewhat-related problem is that when creating a relation
rowtype or implicit array type, TypeCreate would apply any available
default type privileges to that type, which we don't really want
since such an object isn't supposed to have privileges of its own.
(You can't, for example, drop such privileges once they've been added
to an array type.)
ab89e465c is also to blame for a race condition in the regression tests:
privileges.sql transiently installed globally-applicable default
privileges on schemas, which sometimes got absorbed into the ACLs of
schemas created by concurrent test scripts. This should have resulted
in failures when privileges.sql tried to drop the role holding such
privileges; but thanks to the bug fixed here, it instead led to dangling
ACLs in the final state of the regression database. We'd managed not to
notice that, but it became obvious in the wake of commit da906766c, which
allowed the race condition to occur in pg_upgrade tests.
To fix, add a function recordDependencyOnNewAcl to encapsulate what
callers of get_user_default_acl need to do; while the original call
sites got that right via ad-hoc code, none of the later-added ones
have. Also change GenerateTypeDependencies to generate these
dependencies, which requires adding the typacl to its parameter list.
(That might be annoying if there are any extensions calling that
function directly; but if there are, they're most likely buggy in the
same way as the core callers were, so they need work anyway.) While
I was at it, I changed GenerateTypeDependencies to accept most of its
parameters in the form of a Form_pg_type pointer, making its parameter
list a bit less unwieldy and mistake-prone.
The test race condition is fixed just by wrapping the addition and
removal of default privileges into a single transaction, so that that
state is never visible externally. We might eventually prefer to
separate out tests of default privileges into a script that runs by
itself, but that would be a bigger change and would make the tests
run slower overall.

Before this commit slot_getattr() checked for dropped
columns (returning NULL in that case), but only after checking for
previously deformed columns. As slot_deform_tuple() does not contain
such a check, the check in slot_getattr() would often not have been
reached, depending on previous use of the slot.
These days locking and plan invalidation ought to ensure that dropped
columns are not accessed in query plans. Therefore this commit just
drops the insufficient check in slot_getattr(). It's possible that
we'll find some holes againt use of dropped columns, but if so, those
need to be addressed independent of slot_getattr(), as most accesses
don't go through that function anyway.

In a lot of nodes the return slot is not required. That can either be
because the node doesn't do any projection (say an Append node), or
because the node does perform projections but the projection is
optimized away because the projection would yield an identical row.
Slots aren't that small, especially for wide rows, so it's worthwhile
to avoid creating them. It's not possible to just skip creating the
slot - it's currently used to determine the tuple descriptor returned
by ExecGetResultType(). So separate the determination of the result
type from the slot creation. The work previously done internally
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() can now also be done separately with
ExecInitResultTypeTL() and ExecInitResultSlot(). That way nodes that
aren't guaranteed to need a result slot, can use
ExecInitResultTypeTL() to determine the result type of the node, and
ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo() (via
ExecConditionalAssignProjectionInfo()) determines that a result slot
is needed, it is created with ExecInitResultSlot().
Besides the advantage of avoiding to create slots that then are
unused, this is necessary preparation for later patches around tuple
table slot abstraction. In particular separating the return descriptor
and slot is a prerequisite to allow JITing of tuple deforming with
knowledge of the underlying tuple format, and to avoid unnecessarily
creating JITed tuple deforming for virtual slots.
This commit removes a redundant argument from
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL(). While this commit touches a lot of the
relevant lines anyway, it'd normally still not worthwhile to cause
breakage, except that aforementioned later commits will touch *all*
ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() callers anyway (but fits worse
thematically).

This commit fixes a set of issues with ON COMMIT actions when used on
partitioned tables and tables with inheritance children:
- Applying ON COMMIT DROP on a partitioned table with partitions or on a
table with inheritance children caused a failure at commit time, with
complains about the children being already dropped as all relations are
dropped one at the same time.
- Applying ON COMMIT DELETE on a partition relying on a partitioned
table which uses ON COMMIT DROP would cause the partition truncation to
fail as the parent is removed first.
The solution to the first problem is to handle the removal of all the
dependencies in one go instead of dropping relations one-by-one, based
on a suggestion from Álvaro Herrera. So instead all the relation OIDs
to remove are gathered and then processed in one round of multiple
deletions.
The solution to the second problem is to reorder the actions, with
truncation happening first and relation drop done after. Even if it
means that a partition could be first truncated, then immediately
dropped if its partitioned table is dropped, this has the merit to keep
the code simple as there is no need to do existence checks on the
relations to drop.
Contrary to a manual TRUNCATE on a partitioned table, ON COMMIT DELETE
does not cascade to its partitions. The ON COMMIT action defined on
each partition gets the priority.

Backpatch-through: 10
Previously it was possible to set client_min_messages to FATAL or PANIC,
which had the effect of suppressing transmission of regular ERROR messages
to the client. Perhaps that seemed like a useful option in the past, but
the trouble with it is that it breaks guarantees that are explicitly made
in our FE/BE protocol spec about how a query cycle can end. While libpq
and psql manage to cope with the omission, that's mostly because they
are not very bright; client libraries that have more semantic knowledge
are likely to get confused. Notably, pgODBC doesn't behave very sanely.
Let's fix this by getting rid of the ability to set client_min_messages
above ERROR.
In HEAD, just remove the FATAL and PANIC options from the set of allowed
enum values for client_min_messages. (This change also affects
trace_recovery_messages, but that's OK since these aren't useful values
for that variable either.)
In the back branches, there was concern that rejecting these values might
break applications that are explicitly setting things that way. I'm
pretty skeptical of that argument, but accommodate it by accepting these
values and then internally setting the variable to ERROR anyway.
In all branches, this allows a couple of tiny simplifications in the
logic in elog.c, so do that.
Also respond to the point that was made that client_min_messages has
exactly nothing to do with the server's logging behavior, and therefore
does not belong in the "When To Log" subsection of the documentation.
The "Statement Behavior" subsection is a better match, so move it there.

The original code to propagate NOT NULL and default expressions
specified when creating a partition was mostly copy-pasted from
typed-tables creation, but not being a great match it contained some
duplicity, inefficiency and bugs.
This commit fixes the bug that NOT NULL constraints declared in the
parent table would not be honored in the partition. One reported issue
that is not fixed is that a DEFAULT declared in the child is not used
when inserting through the parent. That would amount to a behavioral
change that's better not back-patched.
This rewrite makes the code simpler:
1. instead of checking for duplicate column names in its own block,
reuse the original one that already did that;
2. instead of concatenating the list of columns from parent and the one
declared in the partition and scanning the result to (incorrectly)
propagate defaults and not-null constraints, just scan the latter
searching the former for a match, and merging sensibly. This works
because we know the list in the parent is already correct and there can
only be one parent.
This rewrite makes ColumnDef->is_from_parent unused, so it's removed
on branch master; on released branches, it's kept as an unused field in
order not to cause ABI incompatibilities.
This commit also adds a test case for creating partitions with
collations mismatching that on the parent table, something that is
closely related to the code being patched. No code change is introduced
though, since that'd be a behavior change that could break some (broken)
working applications.

The planner doesn't make any use of root->total_table_pages until it
estimates costs of indexscans, so we don't need to compute it as
early as that's currently done. By doing the calculation between
set_base_rel_sizes and set_base_rel_pathlists, we can omit relations
that get removed from the query by partition pruning or constraint
exclusion, which seems like a more accurate basis for costing.
(Historical note: I think at the time this code was written, there
was not a separation between the "set sizes" and "set pathlists"

But now that we have that separation, this is clearly the better way

The code added by commit c203d6cf8 causes a crash in at least one case,
where a potentially-optimizable expression index has a storage type
different from the input data type. A cursory code review turned up
numerous other problems that seem impractical to fix on short notice.
Andres argued for revert of that patch some time ago, and if additional
senior committers had been paying attention, that's likely what would
have happened, but we were not :-(
At this point we can't just revert, at least not in v11, because that would
mean an ABI break for code touching relcache entries. And we should not
remove the (also buggy) support for the recheck_on_update index reloption,
since it might already be used in some databases in the field. So this
patch just does the as-little-invasive-as-possible measure of disabling
the feature as though recheck_on_update were forced off for all indexes.
I also removed the related regression tests (which would otherwise fail)

ConvertRowtypeExpr while translating whole-row reference of a leaf

The "rb" prefix is used by Ruby, so that our existing code results

is the only portable fix anyway. Fortunately, our rbtree code is

in GIN --- so it seems likely that we can get away with a rename.
I chose to do this basically as s/rb/rbt/g, except for places where
there already was a "t" after "rb". The patch could have been made

When restoring slot information from disk at startup and filling in

will by creating slots, lower the configuration to not support it, and
then restart it.
Making Postgres crash hard in this case is overdoing it just to give a

fail to start without crashing, still giving the recommendation. This
is more consistent with what happens for prepared transactions for

bug to begin with. (There is discussion of changing that API spec going
forward, but I don't think it'd be appropriate for the back branches.)
Per report from Bruno Wolff. It's been like this since the beginning,
so back-patch to all active branches.
In HEAD, also fix an independent leak caused by commit 2a6368343
(allocating memory during spgrescan instead of spgbeginscan, which
might be all right if it got cleaned up, but it didn't). And do a bit
of code beautification on that commit, too.

This patch absorbs an upstream fix to "zic" for a recently-introduced
bug that made it output data that some 32-bit clients couldn't read.
Given the current source data, the bug only manifests in zones with
leap seconds, which we don't generate, so that there's no actual
change in our installed timezone data files from this. Still, in
case somebody uses our copy of "zic" to do something else, it seems
best to apply the fix promptly.
Also, update the README's notes about converting upstream code to
our conventions.
An array-type coercion appearing within a CASE that has a constant
(after const-folding) test expression was mangled by the planner, causing
all the elements of the resulting array to be equal to the coerced value
of the CASE's test expression. This is my oversight in commit c12d570fa:
that changed ArrayCoerceExpr to use a subexpression involving a
CaseTestExpr, and I didn't notice that eval_const_expressions needed an
adjustment to keep from folding such a CaseTestExpr to a constant when
it's inside a suitable CASE.
This is another in what's getting to be a depressingly long line of bugs
associated with misidentification of the referent of a CaseTestExpr.
We're overdue to redesign that mechanism; but any such fix is unlikely
to be back-patchable into v11. As a stopgap, fix eval_const_expressions
to do what it must here. Also add a bunch of comments pointing out the
restrictions and assumptions that are needed to make this work at all.
Also fix a related oversight: contain_context_dependent_node() was not
aware of the relationship of ArrayCoerceExpr to CaseTestExpr. That was
somewhat fail-soft, in that the outcome of a wrong answer would be to
prevent optimizations that could have been made, but let's fix it while
we're at it.
Per bug #15471 from Matt Williams. Back-patch to v11 where the faulty
logic came in.
