The brinbuildCallbackParallel callback used by parallel BRIN builds did
not consider that the parallel table scans may be synchronized, starting
from an arbitrary block and then wrap around.
If this happened and the scan actually did wrap around, tuples from the
beginning of the table were added to the last range produced by the same
worker. The index would be missing range at the beginning of the table,
while the last range would be too wide. This would not produce incorrect
query results, but it'd be less efficient.
Fixed by checking for both past and future ranges in the callback. The
worker may produce multiple summaries for the same page range, but the
leader will merge them as if the summaries came from different workers.

Commit b437571714 added support for parallel builds for BRIN indexes,
using code similar to BTREE parallel builds, and also a new tuplesort
variant. This commit simplifies the new code in two ways:
* The "spool" grouping tuplesort and the heap/index is not necessary.
The heap/index are available as separate arguments, causing confusion.
So remove the spool, and use the tuplesort directly.
* The new tuplesort variant does not need the heap/index, as it sorts
simply by the range block number, without accessing the tuple data.
So simplify that too.

Commit 16671ba6e7 moved the code that sends "sorry, too many clients
already" and other such messages, but it had the effect that we would
send that error even if the the startup packet processing failed, e.g.
because the client sent an invalid startup packet. That was not
intentional.
Spotted while reading the code again.
When enabled (default off), this logs a backtrace anytime elog() or an
equivalent ereport() for internal errors is called.
This is not well covered by the existing backtrace_functions, because
there are many equally-worded low-level errors in many functions. And
if you find out where the error is, then you need to manually rewrite
the elog() to ereport() to attach the errbacktrace(), which is
annoying. Having a backtrace automatically on every elog() call could
be very helpful during development for various kinds of common errors
from palloc, syscache, node support, etc.

There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.
This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing
use warnings;
by
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
in all Perl files.

If the underlying table isn't being dumped, it's useless to dump
an extended statistics object; it'll just cause errors at restore.
We have always applied similar policies to, say, indexes.
(When and if we get cross-table stats objects, it might be profitable
to think a little harder about what to do with them. But for now
there seems no point in considering a stats object as anything but
an appendage of its table.)

This function was originally coded with a handmade expansion
of the array subscripts. We can do it a little faster and far
more legibly today, by using unnest() WITH ORDINALITY.
While at it, let's apply the rowcount estimation support that exists
for the underlying unnest() function: reduce the default ROWS estimate
to 100 and attach array_unnest_support. I'm not sure that
array_unnest_support can do anything useful today with the call sites
that exist in information_schema, but it can't hurt, and the existing
default rowcount of 1000 is surely much too high for any of these
cases.
The psql.sql regression script is using _pg_expandarray() as a
test case for \sf+. While we could keep doing so, the new one-line
function body makes a poor test case for \sf+ row-numbering, so
switch it to print another information_schema function.

add_file_to_manifest declared its mtime argument as pg_time_t,
apparently on the principle that copy-and-paste from the backend
is fine. However, the callers are passing struct stat's st_mtime
field which is plain time_t, and add_file_to_manifest itself is
passing the value to gmtime(3) which expects plain time_t,
so the whole thing would not work at all on any platform where
those types are different. Fortunately we can just switch this
variable to time_t.
Per warnings from assorted buildfarm members.
The code was passing a scalar argument to node->restart(), but it was
expecting a hash, which causes a warning from Perl ("Odd number of
elements in hash assignment").
But the node->restart() function doesn't take a mode argument anyway.
This was probably copied from an incorrect comment (see commit
750c59d7ec). The default restart mode is already "fast", so the test
should still be semantically correct without explicitly specifying the
mode.

Recently-introduced code in reconstruct.c was using "unsigned"
to store the result of read(), pg_pread(), or write(). This is
completely bogus: it breaks subsequent tests for the result being
negative, as we're being reminded of by a chorus of buildfarm
warnings. Switch to "int" as was doubtless intended. (There are
several other uses of "unsigned" in this file that also look poorly
chosen to me, but for now I'm just trying to clean up the buildfarm.)
A larger problem is that "int" is not necessarily wide enough to hold
the result: per POSIX, all these functions return ssize_t. In places
where the requested read or write length clearly fits in int, that's
academic. It may be academic anyway as long as we constrain
individual data files to 1GB, since even a readv or writev-like
operation would then not be responsible for transferring more than
1GB. Nonetheless it seems like trouble waiting to happen, so I made
a pass over readv and writev calls and fixed the result variables
where that seemed appropriate. We might want to think about changing
some of the fd.c functions to return ssize_t too, for future-proofing;
but I didn't tackle that here.

I don't think there's a real problem here, because if we reach
the loop over 'tles' then we will either find at least one
TimeLineHistoryEntry such that oldest_segno != 0, in which case
unsummarized_lsn will be initialized, or else unsummarized_tli
will remain 0 and an error will occur before unsummarized_lsn
is used for anything. But some compilers are complainining, as
reported on list by Nathan Bossart and off-list by Andrew Dunstan.

e0b1ee17dc introduced optimization for matching B-tree scan keys required for
the directional scan. However, it incorrectly assumed that all keys required
for opposite direction scan are satisfied by _bt_first(). It has been
illustrated that with multiple scan keys over the same column, a lesser one
(according to the scan direction) could win leaving the other one unsatisfied.
Instead of relying on _bt_first() this commit introduces code that memorizes
whether there was at least one match on the page. If that's true we know that
keys required for opposite-direction scan are satisfied as soon as
corresponding values are not NULLs.
Also, this commit simplifies the description for the optimization of keys
required for the current direction scan. Now the flag used for this is named
continuescanPrechecked and means exactly that *continuescan flag is known
to be true for the last item on the page.

set_config_option() bails out early if it detects that the option to
be set is PGC_BACKEND or PGC_SU_BACKEND class and we're reading the
config file in a postmaster child; we don't want to apply any new
value in such a case. That's fine as far as it goes, but it fails
to consider the requirements of the pg_file_settings view: for that,
we need to check validity of the value even though we have no
intention to apply it. Because we didn't, even very silly values
for affected GUCs would be reported as valid by the view. There
are only half a dozen such GUCs, which perhaps explains why this
got overlooked for so long.
Fix by continuing when changeVal is false; this parallels the logic
in some other early-exit paths.
Also, the check added by commit 924bcf4f1 to prevent GUC changes in
parallel workers seems a few bricks shy of a load: it's evidently
assuming that ereport(elevel, ...) won't return. Make sure we
bail out if it does. The lack of trouble reports suggests that
this is only a latent bug, i.e. parallel workers don't actually
reach here with elevel < ERROR. (Per the code coverage report,
we never reach here at all in the regression suite.) But we clearly
don't want to risk proceeding if that does happen.

Like commit 388e80132, use "#pragma GCC system_header" to silence
warnings appearing within the Python headers, since newer Python
versions no longer worry about some restrictions we still use like
-Wdeclaration-after-statement.
This patch improves on 388e80132 by inventing a separate wrapper
header file, allowing the pragma to be tightly scoped to just
the Python headers and not other stuff we have laying about in
plpython.h. I applied the same technique to plperl for the same
reason: the original patch suppressed warnings for a good deal
of our own code, not only the Perl headers.

Bhis commit introduces enhancements to the pg_stat_checkpointer view by adding
three new columns: restartpoints_timed, restartpoints_req, and
restartpoints_done. These additions aim to improve the visibility and
monitoring of restartpoint processes on replicas.
Previously, it was challenging to differentiate between successful and failed
restartpoint requests. This limitation arises because restartpoints on replicas
are dependent on checkpoint records from the primary, and cannot occur more
frequently than these checkpoints.
The new columns allow for clear distinction and tracking of restartpoint
requests, their triggers, and successful completions. This enhancement aids
database administrators and developers in better understanding and diagnosing
issues related to restartpoint behavior, particularly in scenarios where
restartpoint requests may fail.
System catalog is changed. Catversion is bumped.

Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for
invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test
function, but it didn't move enough stuff. We need to set up various
environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure
stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering
the calling user's ~/.psql_history. Expecting calling scripts to
remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller
001_password.pl did not do it. Hence, remove those initialization
steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql().
Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has
no effect on calling scripts.

Up to now, our distribution tarballs have included a plain-text form
of the installation.sgml chapter. The rationale for that was that a
recipient might not have either ready internet access or HTML-viewing

ability to generate this file is not without cost, because it puts
special requirements on installation.sgml that are often overlooked.
Moreover, we are moving in the direction of making our distribution
tarballs be pure git snapshots for traceability/reproducibility
reasons; including generated files doesn't fit into that plan.
Hence, let's just drop INSTALL and remove the infrastructure for
