A simple UNION ALL gets flattened into an appendrel of subquery
RTEs, but up until now it's been impossible for the appendrel to use
the partial paths for the subqueries, so we can implement the
appendrel as a Parallel Append but only one with non-partial paths
as children.
There are three separate obstacles to removing that limitation.
First, when planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths to the
final_rel so that they are potentially visible to outer query levels
(but not if they have initPlans attached, because that wouldn't be
safe). Second, after planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths
for the final_rel to the subquery RTE in the outer query level in the
same way we do for non-partial paths. Third, teach finalize_plan() to
account for the possibility that the fake parameter we use for rescan
signalling when the plan contains a Gather (Merge) node may be
propagated from an outer query level.

The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling
results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to
believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages.
While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that
VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second
that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's
no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased
random sample of the table's pages. Furthermore, in a very large table
ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages,
meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all.
In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase
nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is
actually happening in the table. This has been observed to cause reltuples
to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off
autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples.
(Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some
additional, not well understood, conditions. But it's undeniable that if
reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it
in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is
continuing to grow.)
Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone,
and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption
that they provide an accurate model of the whole table. If, by very bad
luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic
a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely.
In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument
altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless.
But keep it in the back branches, in case any third-party code is calling
this function.

In databases with many tables, re-fetching the statistics takes some time,
so that this behavior seriously decreases the available concurrency for
multiple autovac workers. There's discussion afoot about more complete
fixes, but a simple and back-patchable amelioration is to claim the table
and release the lock before rechecking stats. If we find out there's no
longer a reason to process the table, re-taking the lock to un-claim the
table is cheap enough.
(This patch is quite old, but got lost amongst a discussion of more
aggressive fixes. It's not clear when or if such a fix will be
accepted, but in any case it'd be unlikely to get back-patched.
Let's do this now so we have some improvement for the back branches.)
In passing, make the normal un-claim step take AutovacuumScheduleLock
not AutovacuumLock, since that is what is documented to protect the
wi_tableoid field. This wasn't an actual bug in view of the fact that
readers of that field hold both locks, but it creates some concurrency
penalty against operations that need only AutovacuumLock.

One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses. It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE. Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.
Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints. That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not. (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail. There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)
More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean. If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10. I haven't attempted to prove that though.
To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly. Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics. I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects. In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.
This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches. Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

Historically, tab completion for functions has offered the names of
aggregates as well. This is essential in at least one context, namely
GRANT/REVOKE, because there is no GRANT ON AGGREGATE syntax. There
are other cases where a command that nominally is for functions will
allow aggregates as well, though not all do.
Commit fd1a421fe changed this query to disallow aggregates, but that
doesn't seem to have been thought through very carefully. Change it
to allow aggregates (but still ignore procedures).
We might at some point tighten this up, but it'd require sorting through
all the uses of this query to see which ones should offer aggregate
names and which shouldn't. Given the lack of field complaints about
the historical laxity here, that's work I'm not eager to do right now.

Commit b08df9cab left things rather poorly documented as far as the
exact semantics of "clause_is_check" mode went. Also, that mode did
not really work correctly for predicate_refuted_by; although given the
lack of specification as to what it should do, as well as the lack
of any actual use-case, that's perhaps not surprising.
Rename "clause_is_check" to "weak" proof mode, and provide specifications
for what it should do. I defined weak refutation as meaning "truth of A
implies non-truth of B", which makes it possible to use the mode in the
part of relation_excluded_by_constraints that checks for mutually
contradictory WHERE clauses. Fix up several places that did things wrong
for that definition. (As far as I can see, these errors would only lead
to failure-to-prove, not incorrect claims of proof, making them not
serious bugs even aside from the fact that v10 contains no use of this
mode. So there seems no need for back-patching.)
In addition, teach predicate_refuted_by_recurse that it can use
predicate_implied_by_recurse after all when processing a strong NOT-clause,
so long as it asks for the correct proof strength. This is an optimization
that could have been included in commit b08df9cab, but wasn't.
Also, simplify and generalize the logic that checks for whether nullness of
the argument of IS [NOT] NULL would force overall nullness of the predicate
or clause. (This results in a change in the partition_prune test's output,
as it is now able to prune an all-nulls partition that it did not recognize
before.)
In passing, in PartConstraintImpliedByRelConstraint, remove bogus
conversion of the constraint list to explicit-AND form and then right back
again; that accomplished nothing except forcing a useless extra level of
recursion inside predicate_implied_by.

I'd initially supposed that predicate_refuted_by(..., true) ought to
say that "A refutes B" means "non-falsity of A implies non-truth of B".
But it seems better to define it as "truth of A implies non-truth of B".
This is more useful in the current system, slightly easier to prove,
and in closer correspondence to the existing code behavior.
With this change, test_predtest no longer claims that any existing
test cases show false proof reports, though there still are cases
where we could prove something and fail to.

The predicate-proof code in predtest.c is a bit hard to test as-is:
you have to construct a query whose plan changes depending on the success
of a test, and in tests that have been around for awhile, it's always
possible that the plan shape is now being determined by some other factor.
Our existing regression tests aren't doing real well at providing full
code coverage of predtest.c, either. So, let's add a small test module
that allows directly inspecting the results of predicate_implied_by()
and predicate_refuted_by() for arbitrary boolean expressions.
I chose the set of tests committed here in order to get reasonably
complete code coverage of predtest.c just from running this test
module, and to cover some cases called out as being interesting in
the existing comments. We might want to add more later. But this
set already shows a few cases where perhaps things could be improved.
Indeed, this exercise proves that predicate_refuted_by() is buggy for
the case of clause_is_check = true, though fortunately we aren't using
that case anywhere yet. I'll look into doing something about that in
a separate commit. For now, just memorialize the current behavior.

We were independently checking ReservedBackends < MaxConnections and

Up to now we've not worried about whether psql's tab completion queries
would work against prior server versions. But since we support older
server versions in describe.c, we really ought to do so here as well.
Failing to take care of this not only leads to loss of tab-completion
service when using an older server, but risks aborting a user's open
transaction when we send an incompatible query to the server.
The recent changes in pg_proc.prokind are one reason to take this more
seriously now than before, and the proposed patch for completion after
SELECT needs some such capability as well.
Hence, create some infrastructure to allow selection of one of several
versions of a query depending on server version. For cases where we
just need to select one of several query strings, introduce VersionedQuery
and COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_QUERY(). Likewise extend the SchemaQuery
infrastructure to allow versioning of those.
I went ahead and fixed the prokind issues, to serve as an illustration
of how to use versioned SchemaQuery. To have some illustration of
VersionedQuery, change the support for completion of publication and
subscription names so that psql will not send sure-to-fail queries to
pre-v10 servers. There is much more that should be done to make tab
completion more friendly to older servers, but this commit is mainly
meant to get the infrastructure in place, so I stopped here.

If convert_to_scalar is passed a pair of datatypes it can't cope with,
its former behavior was just to elog(ERROR). While this is OK so far as
the core code is concerned, there's extension code that would like to use
scalarltsel/scalargtsel/etc as selectivity estimators for operators that
work on non-core datatypes, and this behavior is a show-stopper for that
use-case. If we simply allow convert_to_scalar to return FALSE instead of
outright failing, then the main logic of scalarltsel/scalargtsel will work
fine for any operator that behaves like a scalar inequality comparison.
The lack of conversion capability will mean that we can't estimate to
better than histogram-bin-width precision, since the code will effectively
assume that the comparison constant falls at the middle of its bin. But
that's still a lot better than nothing. (Someday we should provide a way
for extension code to supply a custom version of convert_to_scalar, but
today is not that day.)
While poking at this issue, we noted that the existing code for handling
type bytea in convert_to_scalar is several bricks shy of a load.
It assumes without checking that if the comparison value is type bytea,
the bounds values are too; in the worst case this could lead to a crash.
It also fails to detoast the input values, so that the comparison result is
complete garbage if any input is toasted out-of-line, compressed, or even
just short-header. I'm not sure how often such cases actually occur ---
the bounds values, at least, are probably safe since they are elements of
an array and hence can't be toasted. But that doesn't make this code OK.
Back-patch to all supported branches, partly because author requested that,
but mostly because of the bytea bugs. The change in API for the exposed
routine convert_network_to_scalar() is theoretically a back-patch hazard,
but it seems pretty unlikely that any third-party code is calling that
function directly.

Previously, mq_bytes_read and mq_bytes_written were protected by the
spinlock, but that turns out to cause pretty serious spinlock
contention on queries which send many tuples through a Gather or
Gather Merge node. This patches changes things so that we instead
read and write those values using 8-byte atomics. Since mq_bytes_read
can only be changed by the receiver and mq_bytes_written can only be
changed by the sender, the only purpose of the spinlock is to prevent
reads and writes of these values from being torn on platforms where
8-byte memory access is not atomic, making the conversion fairly
straightforward.
Testing shows that this produces some slowdown if we're using emulated
64-bit atomics, but since they should be available on any platform
where performance is a primary concern, that seems OK. It's faster,
sometimes a lot faster, on platforms where such atomics are available.

These errors have been seen in the field in corrupted-data situations.
It seems worthwhile to report them with ERRCODE_DATA_CORRUPTED, rather
than the generic ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, for the benefit of log monitoring
and tools like amcheck. However, use errmsg_internal so that the text
strings still aren't translated; it seems unlikely to be worth
translators' time to do so.
Back-patch to 9.3, like the predecessor commit d70cf811f that introduced
these elog calls originally (replacing Asserts).

Commit 4800f16a7a added some sanity checks to ensure we don't
accidentally corrupt data, but in one of them we failed to consider the
effects of a database upgraded from 9.2 or earlier, where a tuple
exclusively locked prior to the upgrade has a slightly different bit
pattern. Fix that by using the macro that we fixed in commit
74ebba84ae for similar situations.

Andres suspects that this bug may have wider ranging consequences, but I
couldn't find anything.
Since 9.5, it's possible that some but not all columns of an index
support returning the indexed value for index-only scans. If the
same indexed column appears in index columns that behave both ways,
check_index_only() supposed that it'd be OK to do an index-only scan
testing that column; but that fails if we have to recheck the indexed
condition on one of the columns that doesn't support this.
In principle we could make this work by remapping the recheck expressions
to pull the value from a column that does support returning the indexed
value. But such cases are so weird and rare that, at least for now,
it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Instead, just teach check_index_only
that a value is returnable only if all the index columns containing it
are returnable, rather than any of them.
Per report from David Pereiro Lagares. Back-patch to 9.5 where the
possibility of this situation appeared.

Although configure-based builds correctly define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT when
appropriate (in both pg_config.h and ecpg_config.h), builds using the MSVC
scripts failed to do so. This currently has no impact on the backend,
since it uses that symbol nowhere; but it does prevent ecpg from
supporting "long long int". Fix that.
Also, adjust Solution.pm so that in the constructed ecpg_config.h file,
the "#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)" covers only the LONG_LONG_INT-related
#defines, not the whole file. AFAICS this was a thinko on somebody's
part: ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY should always be defined in Windows builds,
and in branches using USE_INTEGER_DATETIMES, the setting of that shouldn't
depend on the compiler version either. If I'm wrong, I imagine the
buildfarm will say so.

A before-update row trigger may choose to return the "new" or "old" tuple
unmodified. ExecBRUpdateTriggers failed to consider the second
possibility, and would proceed to free the "old" tuple even if it was the
one returned, leading to subsequent access to already-deallocated memory.
In debug builds this reliably leads to an "invalid memory alloc request
size" failure; in production builds it might accidentally work, but data
corruption is also possible.
This is a very old bug. There are probably a couple of reasons it hasn't
been noticed up to now. It would be more usual to return NULL if one
wanted to suppress the update action; returning "old" is significantly less
efficient since the update will occur anyway. Also, none of the standard
PLs would ever cause this because they all returned freshly-manufactured
tuples even if they were just copying "old". But commit 4b93f5799 changed
that for plpgsql, making it possible to see the bug with a plpgsql trigger.
Still, this is certainly legal behavior for a trigger function, so it's
ExecBRUpdateTriggers's fault not plpgsql's.
It seems worth creating a test case that exercises returning "old" directly
with a C-language trigger; testing this through plpgsql seems unreliable
because its behavior might change again.

It's a bit silly to have test functions that aren't tested, so test

In passing, rename int44in/int44out to city_budget_in/_out so that they

we'd have dump/reload failures when testing pg_dump against the
regression database. (We avoided that in the past only because no
data of type city_budget was actually stored anywhere.)

The ability to create like-named objects in different schemas opens up
the potential for users to change the behavior of other users' queries,
maliciously or accidentally. When you connect to a PostgreSQL server,
you should remove from your search_path any schema for which a user
other than yourself or superusers holds the CREATE privilege. If you do
not, other users holding CREATE privilege can redefine the behavior of
your commands, causing them to perform arbitrary SQL statements under
your identity. "SET search_path = ..." and "SELECT
pg_catalog.set_config(...)" are not vulnerable to such hijacking, so one
can use either as the first command of a session. As special
exceptions, the following client applications behave as documented
regardless of search_path settings and schema privileges: clusterdb
createdb createlang createuser dropdb droplang dropuser ecpg (not
programs it generates) initdb oid2name pg_archivecleanup pg_basebackup
pg_config pg_controldata pg_ctl pg_dump pg_dumpall pg_isready
pg_receivewal pg_recvlogical pg_resetwal pg_restore pg_rewind pg_standby
pg_test_fsync pg_test_timing pg_upgrade pg_waldump reindexdb vacuumdb
vacuumlo. Not included are core client programs that run user-specified
SQL commands, namely psql and pgbench. PostgreSQL encourages non-core
client applications to do likewise.
Document this in the context of libpq connections, psql connections,
dblink connections, ECPG connections, extension packaging, and schema
usage patterns. The principal defense for applications is "SELECT
pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false)", and the principal
defense for databases is "REVOKE CREATE ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC".
Either one is sufficient to prevent attack. After a REVOKE, consider
auditing the public schema for objects named like pg_catalog objects.
Authors of SECURITY DEFINER functions use some of the same defenses, and
the CREATE FUNCTION reference page already covered them thoroughly.
This is a good opportunity to audit SECURITY DEFINER functions for
robust security practice.

This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the
connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today,
a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take
control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL
functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is
exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE
privilege on schema "public".
This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like
pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code
bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been
selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors
by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching
server logs for these errors.
The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for
example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That
now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still
performs a checkpoint.

Security: CVE-2018-1058
Historically, pg_dump has "set search_path = foo, pg_catalog" when
dumping an object in schema "foo", and has also caused that setting
to be used while restoring the object. This is problematic because
functions and operators in schema "foo" could capture references meant
to refer to pg_catalog entries, both in the queries issued by pg_dump
and those issued during the subsequent restore run. That could
result in dump/restore misbehavior, or in privilege escalation if a
nefarious user installs trojan-horse functions or operators.
This patch changes pg_dump so that it does not change the search_path
dynamically. The emitted restore script sets the search_path to what
was used at dump time, and then leaves it alone thereafter. Created
objects are placed in the correct schema, regardless of the active
search_path, by dint of schema-qualifying their names in the CREATE
commands, as well as in subsequent ALTER and ALTER-like commands.
Since this change requires a change in the behavior of pg_restore
when processing an archive file made according to this new convention,
bump the archive file version number; old versions of pg_restore will
therefore refuse to process files made with new versions of pg_dump.
Security: CVE-2018-1058
Up until now, we've abused grouped_rel->partial_pathlist as a place to
store partial paths that have been partially aggregate, but that's
really not correct, because a partial path for a relation is supposed
to be one which produces the correct results with the addition of only
a Gather or Gather Merge node, and these paths also require a Finalize
Aggregate step. Instead, add a new partially_group_rel which can hold
either partial paths (which need to be gathered and then have
aggregation finalized) or non-partial paths (which only need to have
aggregation finalized). This allows us to reuse generate_gather_paths
for partially_grouped_rel instead of writing new code, so that this
patch actually basically no net new code while making things cleaner,
simplifying things for pending patches for partition-wise aggregate.

Commit b3f840120 changed pg_upgrade so that it'd actually drop and
re-create the template1 and postgres databases in the new cluster.
That works fine, serially. With the -j option it's not so fine, because
other per-database jobs might be launched while the template1 database is
dropped. Since they attempt to connect there to start up, kaboom.
This is the cause of the intermittent failures buildfarm member jacana
has been showing for the last month; evidently it is the only BF member
configured to run the pg_upgrade test with parallelism enabled.
Fix by processing template1 separately before we get into the parallel
sub-job launch loop. (We could alternatively have made the postgres DB
be the special case, but it seems likely that template1 will contain
less stuff and so we lose less parallelism with this choice.)
Recent Perl versions don't have the current directory in the module
include path anymore, so we need to add it here explicitly to make these
scripts continue to work.
Commit 0a459cec9 left this for later, but since time's running out,
I went ahead and took care of it. There are more data types that
somebody might someday want RANGE support for, but this is enough
to satisfy all expectations of the SQL standard, which just says that
"numeric, datetime, and interval" types should have RANGE support.
In tests that check whether a connection fails, also check the error
message. That makes sure that the connection was rejected for the right
reason.
This discovered that two tests had their connection failing for the
wrong reason. One test failed because pg_hba.conf was not set up to
allow that user, one test failed because the client key file did not
have the right permissions. Fix those tests and add a new one that is
really supposed to check the file permission issue.

In the pgoutput plugin, skip changes for relations that are not

materialized views and information_schema tables. While those relations
cannot be part of a publication, per existing checks, they will be
considered by a FOR ALL TABLES publication. A subscription would not
actually apply changes for those relations, again per existing checks,
but trying to match incoming changes to local tables on the subscriber
would lead to errors if no matching local table exists. Skipping those
changes on the publisher avoids sending useless changes and eliminates

This is mostly cosmetic, but it might fix build failures, on some

Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).
Given overlapping or partially redundant join clauses, for example
t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a = t2.x AND t1.b = t2.x
the planner's EquivalenceClass machinery will ordinarily refactor the
clauses as "t1.a = t1.b AND t1.a = t2.x", so that join processing doesn't
see multiple references to the same EquivalenceClass in a list of join
equality clauses. However, if the join is outer, it's incorrect to derive
a restriction clause on the outer side from the join conditions, so the
clause refactoring does not happen and we end up with overlapping join
conditions. The code that attempted to deal with such cases had several
subtle bugs, which could result in "left and right pathkeys do not match in
mergejoin" or "outer pathkeys do not match mergeclauses" planner errors,
if the selected join plan type was a mergejoin. (It does not appear that
any actually incorrect plan could have been emitted.)
The core of the problem really was failure to recognize that the outer and
inner relations' pathkeys have different relationships to the mergeclause
list. A join's mergeclause list is constructed by reference to the outer
pathkeys, so it will always be ordered the same as the outer pathkeys, but
this cannot be presumed true for the inner pathkeys. If the inner sides of
the mergeclauses contain multiple references to the same EquivalenceClass
({t2.x} in the above example) then a simplistic rendering of the required
inner sort order is like "ORDER BY t2.x, t2.x", but the pathkey machinery
recognizes that the second sort column is redundant and throws it away.
The mergejoin planning code failed to account for that behavior properly.
One error was to try to generate cut-down versions of the mergeclause list
from cut-down versions of the inner pathkeys in the same way as the initial
construction of the mergeclause list from the outer pathkeys was done; this
could lead to choosing a mergeclause list that fails to match the outer
pathkeys. The other problem was that the pathkey cross-checking code in
create_mergejoin_plan treated the inner and outer pathkey lists
identically, whereas actually the expectations for them must be different.
That led to false "pathkeys do not match" failures in some cases, and in
principle could have led to failure to detect bogus plans in other cases,
though there is no indication that such bogus plans could be generated.
