This commit expands the coverage of pg_hba.conf with checks specific to
role memberships (one "root" role combined with a member and a
non-member). Coverage is added for the database keywords "samegroup"
and "samerole", where the specified role has to be be a member of the
role with the same name as the requested database, and '+' on the user
entry, where members are allowed. These tests are plugged in the
authentication test 001_password.pl as of extra connection attempts
combined with resets of pg_hba.conf, making them rather cheap.

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.

Previously PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry contained the slotname, which was mainly
used when writing out the stats during shutdown, to identify the slot in the
serialized data (at runtime the index in ReplicationSlotCtl->replication_slots
is used, but that can change during a restart). Unfortunately the slotname was
overwritten when the slot's stats were reset.
That turned out to only cause "real" problems if the slot was active during
the reset, triggering an assertion failure at the next
pgstat_report_replslot(). In other paths the stats were re-initialized during
pgstat_acquire_replslot().
Fix this by removing slotname from PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry. Instead we can
get the slot's name from the slot itself. Besides fixing a bug, this also is
architecturally cleaner (a name is not really statistics). This is safe
because stats, for a slot removed while shut down, will not be restored at
startup.
In 15 the slotname is not removed, but renamed, to avoid changing the stats
format. In master, bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.
This commit does not contain a test for the fix. I think this can only be
tested by a tap test starting pg_recvlogical in the background and checking
pg_recvlogical's output. That type of test is notoriously hard to be reliable,
so committing it shortly before the release is wrapped seems like a bad idea.

There are a number of bugs in this area. Two of them are fixed here,
namely:
1. get_relation_idx_constraint_oid does not restrict the type of
constraint that's returned, so with sufficient bad luck it can
return the OID of a foreign key constraint. This has the effect that
a primary key in a partition can end up as a child of a foreign key,
which makes no sense (it needs to be the child of the equivalent
primary key.)
Change the API contract so that only index-backed constraints are
returned, mimicking get_constraint_index().
2. Both CloneFkReferenced and CloneFkReferencing clone a
self-referencing foreign key, so the partition ends up with
a duplicate foreign key. Change the former function to ignore such
constraints.
Add some tests to verify that things are better now. (However, these
new tests show some additional misbehavior that will be fixed later --
namely that there's a constraint marked NOT VALID.)
Backpatch to 12, where these constraints are possible at all.

Justin Pryzby and I (David) to get all our code to compile warning free

discovered and fixed. Additionally, "git log --grep=shadow" shows that
there is no shortage of other bugs that have been fixed over the years
which were caused by variable shadowing.
In light of the above, it seems very much worthwhile to add at least
-Wshadow=compatible-local to our standard compilation flags. We *may*
want to go further and take this to -Wshadow=local in the future, but
we're not ready for that today, so let's add -Wshadow=compatible-local now

Commit c6e0fe1f2 was a shade too trusting that any pointer passed
to pfree, repalloc, etc will point at a valid chunk. Notably,
passing a pointer that was actually obtained from malloc tended
to result in obscure assertion failures, if not worse. (On FreeBSD
I've seen such mistakes take down the entire cluster, seemingly as
a result of clobbering shared memory.)
To improve matters, extend the mcxt_methods[] array so that it
has entries for every possible MemoryContextMethodID bit-pattern,
with the currently unassigned ID codes pointing to error-reporting
functions. Then, fiddle with the ID assignments so that patterns
likely to be associated with bad pointers aren't valid ID codes.
In particular, we should avoid assigning bit patterns 000 (zeroed
memory) and 111 (wipe_mem'd memory).
It turns out that on glibc (Linux), malloc uses chunk headers that
have flag bits in the same place we keep MemoryContextMethodID,
and that the bit patterns 000, 001, 010 are the only ones we'll
see as long as the backend isn't threaded. So we can have very
robust detection of pfree'ing a malloc-assigned block on that
platform, at least so long as we can refrain from using up those
ID codes. On other platforms, we don't have such a good guarantee,
but keeping 000 reserved will be enough to catch many such cases.
While here, make GetMemoryChunkMethodID() local to mcxt.c, as there
seems no need for it to be exposed even in memutils_internal.h.
Patch by me, with suggestions from Andres Freund and David Rowley.

This substantially speeds up building for windows, due to the vast amount of
headers included via windows.h. A cross build from linux targetting mingw goes
from
994.11user 136.43system 0:31.58elapsed 3579%CPU
to
422.41user 89.05system 0:14.35elapsed 3562%CPU
The wins on windows are similar-ish (but I don't have a system at hand just
now for actual numbers). Targetting other operating systems the wins are far
smaller (tested linux, macOS, FreeBSD).
For now precompiled headers are disabled by default, it's not clear how well
they work on all platforms. E.g. on FreeBSD gcc doesn't seem to have working
support, but clang does.
When doing a full build precompiled headers are only beneficial for targets
with multiple .c files, as meson builds a separate precompiled header for each
target (so that different compilation options take effect). This commit
therefore only changes target with at least two .c files to use precompiled
headers.
Because this commit adds b_pch=false to the default_options new build
directories will have precompiled headers disabled by default, however
existing build directories will continue use the default value of b_pch, which
is true.
Note that using precompiled headers with ccache requires setting
CCACHE_SLOPPINESS=pch_defines,time_macros to get hits.

When using precompiled headers, we cannot pre-define macros for the system
headers from within .c files, as headers are already processed before
the #define in the C file is reached. But we can pre-define using
-DFD_SETSIZE, as long as that's also used when building the precompiled header.
A few files #define FD_SETSIZE 1024 on windows, as the default is only 64. I
am hesitant to change FD_SETSIZE globally on windows, due to
src/backend/port/win32/socket.c using it to size on-stack arrays. Instead add
-DFD_SETSIZE=1024 when building the specific targets needing it.

(It wasn't *completely* reliable even before that, as there was a
chance of a false positive if you passed it something that didn't

Hence, remove it. There is no remaining core code that requires it.

MemoryContextContains is no longer reliable in the wake of c6e0fe1f2,
so we need to get rid of these uses.
It appears that there's no really good reason to force the result of
an aggregate's finalfn or serialfn to be allocated in the per-tuple
context. The only other plausible case is that the result points to
or into the aggregate's transition value, and that's fine because it
will last as long as we need it to. (This conclusion depends on the
assumption that finalfns are not allowed to scribble on the transition
value, but we've long required that.) So we can just drop the
MemoryContextContains plus datumCopy business, although we do need
to take care to not return a read-write pointer when the transition
value is an expanded datum.
Likewise, we don't really need to force the result of a window
function to be in the output context. In this case, the plausible
alternative is that it's pointing into the temporary tuple slot used
by WinGetFuncArgInPartition or WinGetFuncArgInFrame (since those
functions could return such a pointer, which might become the window
function's result). That will hold still for long enough, unless
there is another window function using the same WindowObject.
I'm content to always perform a datumCopy when there's more than one
such function.
On net, these changes should provide small speed improvements as well
as removing problematic code.

The RecoveryLockLists data structure, which tracks all exclusive
locks that the startup process is holding on behalf of transactions
being replayed, did not have any provision for avoiding duplicate
entries for the same lock. Maybe that was okay when the code was
first written. However, modern practice is for checkpoints to
write fresh lists of all active exclusive locks into the WAL.
Thus, an exclusive lock that survives across multiple checkpoints
causes bloat in standbys' startup processes. If there are a lot
of such locks this can look like a memory leak, and it's even
possible to drive the startup process into a palloc failure from
an over-length List.
To fix, use a hash table instead of simple lists to track the
locks being held. Allowing for dynahash overhead, this requires
a little more space per lock than the old way (although it's the
same size as what we were allocating prior to c6e0fe1f2). It's
probably a shade slower too. However, testing indicates that the
penalty is negligible on ordinary workloads, so let's make this
change to improve robustness in extreme cases.
Patch by me, per report from Dmitriy Kuzmin. No back-patch
(for now anyway), since it seems that a significant improvement
would only occur in corner cases.

example that XLogFromFileName() cannot be used because it lacks the
possibility of specifying a WAL segment size, which is not the case
since fc49e24, that has made the WAL segment size configurable at

Similarly, this switches one segment number calculation to use

- Remove empty lines from the dump files.
- Use --extra-float-digits=0 in the pg_dump command, when using an "old"
cluster with version equal to or lower than v11.
- Use --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access in initdb only when the

This allows the tests to pass down to v14 with the main regression test

compared to what happened before this commit. Much more could be done,

Otherwise we don't use LLVM's flags when building llvmjit_wrap.cpp and
llvmjit_inline.cpp. That can cause compile time failures if the C++ compiler
doesn't default to a new enough C++ standards version and link time failures
due to ABI influencing flags like -fno-rtti.
The pre-v15 behavior was to discard all but the last result,
but with the new behavior of printing all results by default,
we will send each such result to the \g file. However,
we're still opening and closing the \g file for each result,
so you lose all but the last result anyway. Move the output-file
state up to ExecQueryAndProcessResults so that we open/close the
\g file only once per command string.
To support this without changing other behavior, we must
adjust PrintQueryResult to have separate FILE * arguments
for query and status output (since status output has never
gone to the \g file). That in turn makes it a good idea
to push the responsibility for fflush'ing output down to
PrintQueryTuples and PrintQueryStatus.
Also fix an infinite loop if COPY IN/OUT is attempted in \watch.
We used to reject that, but that error exit path got broken
somewhere along the line in v15. There seems no real reason
to reject it anyway as the code now stands, so just remove
the error exit and make sure that COPY OUT data goes to the
right place.
Also remove PrintQueryResult's unused is_watch parameter,
and make some other cosmetic cleanups (adjust obsolete
comments, break some overly-long lines).

This reverts commit db0d67db24 and
several follow-on fixes. The idea of making a cost-based choice
of the order of the sorting columns is not fundamentally unsound,
but it requires cost information and data statistics that we don't
really have. For example, relying on procost to distinguish the
relative costs of different sort comparators is pretty pointless
so long as most such comparator functions are labeled with cost 1.0.
Moreover, estimating the number of comparisons done by Quicksort
requires more than just an estimate of the number of distinct values
in the input: you also need some idea of the sizes of the larger
groups, if you want an estimate that's good to better than a factor of
three or so. That's data that's often unknown or not very reliable.
Worse, to arrive at estimates of the number of calls made to the
lower-order-column comparison functions, the code needs to make
estimates of the numbers of distinct values of multiple columns,
which are necessarily even less trustworthy than per-column stats.
Even if all the inputs are perfectly reliable, the cost algorithm
as-implemented cannot offer useful information about how to order
sorting columns beyond the point at which the average group size
is estimated to drop to 1.
Close inspection of the code added by db0d67db2 shows that there
are also multiple small bugs. These could have been fixed, but
there's not much point if we don't trust the estimates to be
accurate in-principle.
Finally, the changes in cost_sort's behavior made for very large
changes (often a factor of 2 or so) in the cost estimates for all
sorting operations, not only those for multi-column GROUP BY.
That naturally changes plan choices in many situations, and there's
precious little evidence to show that the changes are for the better.
Given the above doubts about whether the new estimates are really
trustworthy, it's hard to summon much confidence that these changes
are better on the average.
Since we're hard up against the release deadline for v15, let's
revert these changes for now. We can always try again later.
Note: in v15, I left T_PathKeyInfo in place in nodes.h even though
it's unreferenced. Removing it would be an ABI break, and it seems
a bit late in the release cycle for that.

This commit introduces an authentication test for the peer method, as of
a set of scenarios with and without a user name map. The script is
automatically skipped if peer is not supported in the environment where
this test is run, checking this behavior by attempting a connection
first on a cluster up and running.
