Commit 16be2fd1 introduced the flag DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM to control whether
the DSA allocator would raise an error or return InvalidDsaPointer on
failure to allocate. One edge case was not handled correctly: if we
fail to allocate an internal "span" object for a large allocation, we
would always return InvalidDsaPointer regardless of the flag; a caller
not expecting that could then dereference a null pointer.
This is a plausible explanation for a one-off report of a segfault.
Remove a redundant pair of braces so that all three stanzas that handle
DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM match in style, for visual consistency.
While fixing inconsistencies, if FreePageManagerGet() can't supply the
pages that our book-keeping says it should be able to supply, then we
should always report a FATAL error. Previously we treated that as a
regular allocation failure in one code path, but as a FATAL condition
in another.

The Bison documentation clearly states that a semicolon is required
after every grammar rule, and our scripts that generate ecpg's
grammar from the backend's implicitly assumed this is true. But it
turns out that only ancient versions of Bison actually enforce that.
There have been a couple of rules without trailing semicolons in
gram.y for some time, and as a consequence, ecpg's grammar was faulty
and produced wrong output for the affected statements.
To fix, add the missing semis, and add some cross-checks to ecpg's
scripts so that they'll bleat if we mess this up again.
The cases that were broken were:
* "SET variable = DEFAULT" (but not "SET variable TO DEFAULT"),
as well as allied syntaxes such as ALTER SYSTEM SET ... DEFAULT.
These produced syntactically invalid output that the server
would reject.
* Multiple type names in DROP TYPE/DOMAIN commands. Only the
first type name would be listed in the emitted command.

One unintended consequence of commit 9ccdd7f6 was that Windows WSL
users started getting a panic whenever we tried to initiate data
flushing with sync_file_range(), because WSL does not implement that
system call. Previously, they got a stream of periodic warnings,
which was also undesirable but at least ignorable.
Prevent the panic by handling ENOSYS specially and skipping the panic
promotion with data_sync_elevel(). Also suppress future attempts
after the first such failure so that the pre-existing problem of
noisy warnings is improved.

In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has
been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with
making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node. While certainly
there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible
problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns
when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any
statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them.
Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to
stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more
effort here.
It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has
known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c),
so back-patch to all supported branches.

It seems to make more sense for this to be in selfuncs.c, since it's
largely a statistical-estimation thing, and it's related to other
functions like estimate_hash_bucket_stats that are there.
While at it, change the result type from Size to double. Perhaps at one
point it was impossible for the result to overflow an integer, but
I've got no confidence in that proposition anymore. Nothing's actually
done with the result except to compare it to a work_mem-based limit,
so as long as we don't get an overflow on the way to that comparison,
things should be fine even with very large dNumGroups.

Instead of locking all partitions to which we might route a tuple at
executor startup, just lock them as we use them. In some cases such a
partition might get locked at executor startup anyway because it
appears in the query's range table for some other reason, but in other
cases this is a bit savings.
This changes the order in which partitions are locked in some cases,
which might conceivably create deadlock hazards that don't exist
today, but per discussion, it seems like such cases should be rare
enough that we can neglect them in favor of improving performance.

In previous releases, the input file of dbtoepub was postgres.xml, and
dbtoepub knows to derive the output file name postgres.epub from that
automatically. But now the intput file is postgres.sgml (since
postgres.sgml is itself an XML file and we no longer need the
intermediate postgres.xml file), but dbtoepub doesn't know how to deal
with the .sgml suffix, so the automatically derived output file name
becomes postgres.sgml.epub. Fix by adding an explicit -o option.
Check ec_relids before bothering to iterate through the EC members.
On a perhaps extreme, but still real-world, query in which
match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() accounts for the bulk of the
planner's runtime, this saves nearly 40% of the runtime. It's a bit
of a stopgap fix, but it's simple enough to be back-patched to 9.6
where this code came in; so let's do that.

On (rare) platforms where sizeof(bool) > 1, we need to use our own
bool, but imported c99 code (such as Ryu) may want to use bool values
as array subscripts, which elicits warnings if bool is defined as
char. Using unsigned char instead should work just as well for our
purposes, and avoid such warnings.
Per buildfarm members prariedog and locust.
PG type coercions are generally strict, ie a NULL input must produce
a NULL output (or, in domain cases, possibly an error). The planner's
understanding of that was a bit incomplete though, so improve it:
* Teach contain_nonstrict_functions() that CoerceViaIO can always be
considered strict. Previously it believed that only if the underlying
I/O functions were marked strict, which is often but not always true.
* Teach clause_is_strict_for() that CoerceViaIO, ArrayCoerceExpr,
ConvertRowtypeExpr, CoerceToDomain can all be considered strict.
Previously it knew nothing about any of them.
The main user-visible impact of this is that IS NOT NULL predicates
can be proven to hold from expressions involving casts in more cases
than before, allowing partial indexes with such predicates to be used
without extra pushups. This reduces the surprise factor for users,
who may well be used to ordinary (function-call-based) casts being
known to be strict.
Per a gripe from Samuel Williams. This doesn't rise to the level of
a bug, IMO, so no back-patch.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/27571.1550617881@sss.pgh.pa.us
The recursion in contain_nonstrict_functions_walker() was done wrong,
causing the strictness check to be bypassed for a parse node that
is the immediate input of an ArrayCoerceExpr node. This could allow,
for example, incorrect decisions about whether a strict SQL function
can be inlined.
I didn't add a regression test, because (a) the bug is so narrow
and (b) I couldn't think of a test case that wasn't dependent on a
large number of other behaviors, to the point where it would likely
soon rot to the point of not testing what it was intended to.
I broke this in commit c12d570fa, so back-patch to v11.

INSERT ... VALUES for a single VALUES row is implemented differently
from a multi-row VALUES list, which causes inconsistent behaviour in
the way that DEFAULT items are handled. In particular, when inserting
into an auto-updatable view on top of a table with a column default, a
DEFAULT item in a single VALUES row gets correctly replaced with the
table column's default, but for a multi-row VALUES list it is replaced
with NULL.
Fix this by allowing rewriteValuesRTE() to leave DEFAULT items in the
VALUES list untouched if the target relation is an auto-updatable view
and has no column default, deferring DEFAULT-expansion until the query
against the base relation is rewritten. For all other types of target
relation, including tables and trigger- and rule-updatable views, we
must continue to replace DEFAULT items with NULL in the absence of a
column default.
This is somewhat complicated by the fact that if an auto-updatable
view has DO ALSO rules attached, the VALUES lists for the product
queries need to be handled differently from the original query, since
the product queries need to act like rule-updatable views whereas the
original query has auto-updatable view semantics.

Changes made by commit 02ddd49 mean that dumps made against pre version

When reading a new page internally and depending on the way the WAL
reader facility gets used by plugins, the current implementation of the
WAL reader may finish by reading a block multiple times while it is not
actually necessary as the requested data length may be equal to what has
been already read. This can happen for any size, but is more likely to
happen at the end of a page. This can cause performance penalties in
plugins which rely on the block reads to be purely sequential, zlib not
liking backward reads for example. The new behavior also shaves some
cycles when doing recovery.
