This has the advantage to limit the presence of the GUC values
hba_file and ident_file to the code paths where these files are loaded,
easing the introduction of an upcoming feature aimed at adding inclusion
logic for files and directories in HBA and ident files.
Note that this needs the addition of the source file name to HbaLine, in
addition to the line number, which is something needed by the backend in
two places of auth.c (authentication failure details and auth_id log
when log_connections is enabled).
While on it, adjust a log generated on authentication failure to report
the name of the actual HBA file on which the connection attempt matched,
where the line number and the raw line written in the HBA file were
already included. This was previously hardcoded as pg_hba.conf, which
would be incorrect when a custom value is used at postmaster startup for
the GUC hba_file.

The IsCTIDVar() tests in nodeTidscan.c and nodeTidrangescan.c
look buggy at first sight: they aren't checking that the varno
matches the table to be scanned. Actually they're safe because
any Var in a scan-level qual must be for the correct table ...
but if we're depending on that, it's pretty pointless to verify
varlevelsup. (Besides which, varlevelsup is *always* zero at
execution, since we've flattened the rangetable long since.)
Remove the useless varlevelsup check, and instead add some
commentary explaining why we don't need to check varno.
Noted while fooling with a planner change that causes the order
of "t1.ctid = t2.ctid" to change in some tidscan.sql tests;
I was briefly fooled into thinking there was a live bug here.
This adjusts a few things for GUCs related to logical replication,
replication slots and WAL senders, in the shape of incorrect comments
and values inconsistent with their initial default value.

As of this commit, any database or user entry beginning with a slash (/)
is considered as a regular expression. This is particularly useful for
users, as now there is no clean way to match pattern on multiple HBA
lines. For example, a user name mapping with a regular expression needs
first to match with a HBA line, and we would skip the follow-up HBA
entries if the ident regexp does *not* match with what has matched in
the HBA line.
pg_hba.conf is able to handle multiple databases and roles with a
comma-separated list of these, hence individual regular expressions that
include commas need to be double-quoted.
At authentication time, user and database names are now checked in the
following order:
- Arbitrary keywords (like "all", the ones beginning by '+' for
membership check), that we know will never have a regexp. A fancy case
is for physical WAL senders, we *have* to only match "replication" for
the database.
- Regular expression matching.
- Exact match.
The previous logic did the same, but without the regexp step.
We have discussed as well the possibility to support regexp pattern
matching for host names, but these happen to lead to tricky issues based
on what I understand, particularly with host entries that have CIDRs.
This commit relies heavily on the refactoring done in a903971 and
fc579e1, so as the amount of code required to compile and execute
regular expressions is now minimal. When parsing pg_hba.conf, all the
computed regexps needs to explicitely free()'d, same as pg_ident.conf.
Documentation and TAP tests are added to cover this feature, including
cases where the regexps use commas (for clarity in the docs, coverage
for the parsing logic in the tests).
Note that this introduces a breakage with older versions, where a
database or user name beginning with a slash are treated as something to
check for an equal match. Per discussion, we have discarded this as
being much of an issue in practice as it would require a cluster to
have database and/or role names that begin with a slash, as well as HBA
entries using these. Hence, the consistency gained with regexps in
pg_ident.conf is more appealing in the long term.
**This compatibility change should be mentioned in the release notes.**

Since pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() exist, the tablespace map
data and the backup state data (backup_label string until 7d70809) have
been allocated in the TopMemoryContext. This approach would cause
memory leaks in the session calling these functions if failures happen
before pg_backup_stop() ends, leaking more memory on repeated failures.
Both things need little memory so that would not be really noticeable
for most users, except perhaps connection poolers with long-lived
connections able to trigger backup failures with these functions.
This commit improves the logic in this area by not allocating anymore
the backup-related data that needs to travel across the SQL-callable
backup functions in TopMemoryContext, by using instead a dedicated
memory context child of TopMemoryContext. The memory context is created
in pg_backup_start() and deleted when finishing pg_backup_stop(). In
the event of an in-flight failure, this memory context gets reset in the
follow-up pg_backup_start() call, so as we are sure that only one run
worth of data is leaked at any time. Some cleanup was already done for
the backup data on a follow-up call of pg_backup_start(), but using a
memory context makes the whole simpler.
BASE_BACKUP commands are executed in isolation, relying on the memory
context created for replication commands, hence these do not need such
an extra logic.

It happens that the parts of hba.conf that are planned to be extended
to support regular expressions would finish by using the same error
message as the one used currently for pg_ident.conf when a regular
expression cannot be compiled, as long as the routine centralizing the
logic, regcomp_auth_token(), knows from which file the regexp comes from
and its line location in the so-said file.
This change makes the follow-up patches slightly simpler, and the logic
remains the same. I suspect that this makes the proposal to add support

This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer
exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and
with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the
result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input,
and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant
digits.
Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first
input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For
results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few
or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced
0.0000000000000000).
Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into
power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight.

When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no
association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are
created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the
assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder().
This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we
start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically
start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't
guarantee to make the association between top transaction and
subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction.
The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have
been checked before the restart.
The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track
that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog
changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions
is marked as containing catalog change.

We had two copies of almost identical logic to revert shared memory
state when a running backup aborts; we can remove
pg_backup_start_callback if we adapt do_pg_abort_backup so that it can

However, in order for this to work, we have to repurpose the flag passed
to do_pg_abort_backup. It used to indicate whether to throw a warning
(and the only caller always passed true). It now indicates whether the
callback is being called at start time (in which case the session backup
state is known not to have been set to RUNNING yet, so action is always
taken) or shmem time (in which case action is only taken if the session
backup state is RUNNING). Thus the meaning of the flag is no longer

AuthToken gains a regular expression, and IdentLine is changed so as it
uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string
used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t. In the case
of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase
of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building
the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a
pre-parsed entry.
The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is
now done in a new set of routines called respectively
regcomp_auth_token() and regexec_auth_token() that are wrappers around
pg_regcomp() and pg_regexec(), working on AuthTokens. While on it, this
patch adds a routine able to free an AuthToken, free_auth_token(), to
simplify a bit the logic around the requirement of using a specific free
routine for computed regular expressions. Note that there are no

Preprocessing of the HAVING clause will reduce havingQual to NIL
if the clause is constant-TRUE. This is one case where that
convention is rather unfortunate, because "HAVING TRUE" is not at all
the same as not having any HAVING clause at all. (Per the SQL spec,
it still forces the query to be grouped.) The planner deals with this
by having a boolean hasHavingQual that records whether havingQual was
originally nonempty; places that just want to check whether HAVING
was specified are supposed to consult that.
I found three places that got that wrong. Fortunately, these could
only affect cost estimates not correctness. It'd be hard even
to demonstrate the errors; for example, the one in allpaths.c would
only matter in a query that has HAVING TRUE but no GROUP BY and no
aggregates, which would require a completely variable-free SELECT
list, making the case probably of only academic interest. Hence,
while these are worth fixing before someone copies the incorrect
coding somewhere more critical, they don't seem worth back-patching.

When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've
historically allowed the input and result types to be
binary-compatible with the function's input and result types,
rather than necessarily being identical. This means that the new
cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts
that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you
try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail.
Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies
so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement.
This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate
functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain
similar dependencies. However, for now it seems sufficient to fix
the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics
should keep it out of trouble for other object types.

preliminary investigation. I considered back-patching, but
seeing that this issue has existed for many years without

The previous patch made addition of new GUCs cheap, but other GUC
operations aren't improved and indeed get a bit slower, because
hash_seq_search() is slower than just scanning a pointer array.
However, most performance-critical GUC operations only need
to touch a relatively small fraction of the GUCs; especially
so for AtEOXact_GUC(). We can improve matters at the cost
of a bit more space by adding dlist or slist links to the
GUC data structures. This patch invents lists that track
(1) all GUCs with non-default "source";
(2) all GUCs with nonempty state stack (implying they've
been changed in the current transaction);
(3) all GUCs due for reporting to the client.
All of guc.c's performance-critical cases can make use of one or
another of these lists to avoid searching the whole hash table.
In particular, the stack list means that transaction end
doesn't take time proportional to the number of GUCs, but
only to the number changed in the current transaction.

This gets rid of bsearch() in favor of hashed lookup. The main
advantage is that it becomes far cheaper to add new GUCs, since
we needn't re-sort the pointer array. Adding N new GUCs had
been O(N^2 log N), but now it's closer to O(N). We need to
sort only in SHOW ALL and equivalent functions, which are
hopefully not performance-critical to anybody.
Also, merge GetNumConfigOptions() into get_guc_variables(),

The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed
the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature
awhile ago.
Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and
debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible
to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly
than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a
hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using
palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the
underlying data.
This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break
for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an
"extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and
guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change
affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but
thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't
be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled
builds).
One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived
palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the

Commit 3d956d956 allowed the COPY, but it's done by inserting individual
rows to the foreign table, so it can be inefficient due to the overhead
caused by each round-trip to the foreign server. To improve performance
of the COPY in such a case, this patch allows batch insertion, by
extending the multi-insert machinery in CopyFrom() to the foreign-table
case so that we insert multiple rows to the foreign table at once using
the FDW callback routine added by commit b663a4136. This patch also
allows this for postgres_fdw. It is enabled by the "batch_size" option
added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default.
When doing batch insertion, we update progress of the COPY command after
performing the FDW callback routine, to count rows not suppressed by the
FDW as well as a BEFORE ROW INSERT trigger. For consistency, this patch
changes the timing of updating it for plain tables: previously, we
updated it immediately after adding each row to the multi-insert buffer,
but we do so only after writing the rows stored in the buffer out to the
table using table_multi_insert(), which I think would be consistent even
with non-batching mode, because in that mode we update it after writing

Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README,
ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does
its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path.
First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always
called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was
wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail
page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items
into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and
START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these
issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages
logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.

An LSN was calculated from a segment number, a segment size and a
position offset, matching exactly the LSN given by the caller of
XLogReaderValidatePageHeader(). This change removes the extra LSN
calculation, relying only on the LSN given by the function caller
instead.

The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends
fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates
the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will
take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery.
In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded
AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail
or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became
corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such
crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent
changes around palloc chunk headers.
To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster
so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child
slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed
routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the
shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now
lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X
failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things.
But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset
regardless.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since this is an old bug.

DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view
could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause.
This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed
for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes.
The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE()
to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced
by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries,
that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the
DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are,
their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list,
so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable.
What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL
constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults
as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced
any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests
to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to
split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE()
to the charter it had before.
Per bug #17633 from jiye_sw. Patch by me, but thanks to
Richard Guo and Japin Li for initial investigation.
Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.

Make a common replication origin name formatting function to replace
multiple snprintf() expressions. This also includes logic previously done
by ReplicationOriginNameForTablesync().
This makes the code to generate the origin name consistent among apply
worker and tablesync worker.

This is useful as a way for extensions to process COPY TO rows in the
way they see fit (say auditing, analytics, backend, etc.) without the
need to invoke an external process running as the OS user running the
backend through PROGRAM that requires superuser rights. COPY FROM
already provides a similar callback for logical replication. For COPY
TO, the callback is triggered when we are ready to send a row in
CopySendEndOfRow(), which is the same code path as when sending a row
to a frontend or a pipe/file.
A small test module, test_copy_callbacks, is added to provide some
coverage for this facility.

Before commit c6e0fe1f2, functions such as AllocSetFree could pretty
safely presume that they were given a valid chunk pointer for their
own type of context, because the indirect call through a memory
context object and method struct would be very unlikely to work
otherwise. But now, if pfree() is mistakenly invoked on a pointer
to garbage, we have three chances in eight of ending up at one of
these functions. That means we need to take extra measures to
verify that we are looking at what we're supposed to be looking at,
especially in debug builds.
Hence, add code to verify that the chunk's back-link to a block header
leads to a memory context object that satisfies the right sort of
IsA() check. This is still a bit weaker than what we did before,
but for the moment assume that an IsA() check is sufficient.
As a compromise between speed and safety, implement these checks
as Asserts when dealing with small chunks but plain test-and-elogs
when dealing with large (external) chunks. The latter case should
not be too performance-critical, but the former case probably is.
In slab.c, all chunks are small; but nonetheless use a plain test
in SlabRealloc, because that is certainly not performance-critical,
indeed we should be suspicious that it's being called in error.
In aset.c, additionally add some assertions that the "value" field
of the chunk header is within the small range allowed for freelist
indexes. Without that, we might find ourselves trying to wipe
most of memory when CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY is enabled, or scribbling
on a "freelist header" that's far away from the context object.
Eventually, field experience might show us that it's smarter for
these tests to be active always, but for now we'll try to get
away with just having them as assertions.
While at it, also be more uniform about asserting that context
objects passed as parameters are of the type we expect. Some
places missed that altogether, and slab.c was for no very good
reason doing it differently from the other allocators.

Remove the Trap and TrapMacro macros, which were nearly unused
and confusingly had the opposite condition polarity from the
otherwise-functionally-equivalent Assert macros.
Having done that, it's very hard to justify carrying the errorType
argument of ExceptionalCondition, so drop that too, and just
let it assume everything's an Assert. This saves about 64K
of code space as of current HEAD.
