This commit fixes an oversight introduced in 10520f4, that has added
delayChkptEnd to PGPROC to avoid ABI breakages on stable branches, where
two spots have missed to initialize this variable (delayChkpt was
switched back from int to bool, and it was initialized as 0 so there was
no consequences for it):
- InitProcess(), where the per-process data structures of a backend are
initialized.
- InitAuxiliaryProcess(), same but for auxiliary processes.
An interruption during relation truncation while this flag is set could
cause an assertion failure when a follow-up process does a relation
truncation while reusing the same PGPROC entry. A second effect could
be incorrect checkpoint end delays.
While on it, add an assertion in ProcArrayClearTransaction() for
delayChkptEnd to be in line with 5788e25. This is needed only for v14.
This issue affects v11~v14, but not v15~, as we use a single field
called delayChkptFlags to delay checkpoints there.

The same routine to check if a specific pattern can be found in the
server logs was copied over four different test scripts. This refactors
the whole to use a single routine located in PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster,
named log_contains, to grab the contents of the server logs and check
for a specific pattern.
On HEAD, the code previously used assumed that slurp_file() could not
handle an undefined offset, setting it to zero, but slurp_file() does
do an extra fseek() before retrieving the log contents only if an offset
is defined. In two places, the test was retrieving the full log
contents with slurp_file() after calling substr() to apply an offset,
ignoring that slurp_file() would be able to handle that.
Backpatch all the way down to ease the introduction of new tests that
could rely on the new routine.

Avoid "right sibling's left-link doesn't match" errors when vacuuming a
corrupt nbtree index. Just LOG the issue and press on. That way VACUUM
will have a decent chance of finishing off all required processing for
the index (and for the table as a whole).
This error was seen in the field from time to time (it's more than a
theoretical risk), so giving VACUUM the ability to press on like this
has real value. Nothing short of a REINDEX is expected to fix the
underlying index corruption, so giving up (by throwing an error) risks
making a bad situation far worse. Anything that blocks forward progress
by VACUUM like this might go unnoticed for a long time. This could
eventually lead to a wraparound/xidStopLimit outage.
Note that _bt_unlink_halfdead_page() has always been able to bail on
page deletion when the target page's left sibling page was in an
inconsistent state. It now does the same thing (returns false to back
out of the second phase of deletion) when it notices sibling link
corruption in the target page's right sibling page.
This is similar to the work from commit 5b861baa (later backpatched as
commit 43e409ce), which taught nbtree to press on with vacuuming an
index when page deletion fails to "re-find" a downlink in the target
page's parent page. The "re-find" check seems to make VACUUM bail on
page deletion more often in practice, but there is no reason to take any
chances here.

BRIN indexes did not properly distinguish between summaries for empty
(no rows) and all-NULL ranges, treating them as essentially the same
thing. Summaries were initialized with allnulls=true, and opclasses
simply reset allnulls to false when processing the first non-NULL value.
This however produces incorrect results if the range starts with a NULL
value (or a sequence of NULL values), in which case we forget the range
contains NULL values when adding the first non-NULL value.
This happens because the allnulls flag is used for two separate
purposes - to mark empty ranges (not representing any rows yet) and
ranges containing only NULL values.
Opclasses don't know which of these cases it is, and so don't know
whether to set hasnulls=true. Setting the flag in both cases would make
it correct, but it would also make BRIN indexes useless for queries with
IS NULL clauses. All ranges start empty (and thus allnulls=true), so all
ranges would end up with either allnulls=true or hasnulls=true.
The severity of the issue is somewhat reduced by the fact that it only
happens when adding values to an existing summary with allnulls=true.
This can happen e.g. for small tables (because a summary for the first
range exists for all BRIN indexes), or for tables with large fraction of
NULL values in the indexed columns.
Bulk summarization (e.g. during CREATE INDEX or automatic summarization)
that processes all values at once is not affected by this issue. In this
case the flags were updated in a slightly different way, not forgetting
the NULL values.
To identify empty ranges we use a new flag, stored in an unused bit in
the BRIN tuple header so the on-disk format remains the same. A matching
flag is added to BrinMemTuple, into a 3B gap after bt_placeholder.
That means there's no risk of ABI breakage, although we don't actually
pass the BrinMemTuple to any public API.
We could also skip storing index tuples for empty summaries, but then
we'd have to always process such ranges - even if there are no rows in
large parts of the table (e.g. after a bulk DELETE), it would still
require reading the pages etc. So we store them, but ignore them when
building the bitmap.

When merging BRIN summaries, union_tuples() did not correctly update the
target hasnulls/allnulls flags. When merging all-NULL summary into a
summary without any NULL values, the result had both flags set to false
(instead of having hasnulls=true).
This happened because the code only considered the hasnulls flags,
ignoring the possibility the source summary has allnulls=true.
Discovered while investigating issues with handling empty BRIN ranges

do with empty ranges).

hasnulls flag on the target summary.

Commit 153e215677 added the portlock directory. This is created in
$ENV{top_builddir} if it is set. Under PGXS, top_builddir points into
the installation directory, which is not necessarily writable and in
any case inappropriate to use by a test suite. The cause of the
problem is that the prove_installcheck target in Makefile.global
exports top_builddir, which isn't useful (since no other Perl code
actually reads it) and breaks this use case. The reason this code is
there is probably that is has been dragged around with various other
changes, in particular a0fc813266, but without a real purpose of its
own. By just removing the exporting of top_builddir in
prove_installcheck, the portlock directory then ends up under
tmp_check in the build directory, which is more suitable.

Like plperl before f47004add, plpython wasn't being sufficiently
careful about checking that list-of-list structures represent
rectangular arrays, so that it would accept some cases in which
different parts of the "array" are nested to different depths.
This was exacerbated by Python's weak distinction between
sequences and lists, so that in some cases strings could get
treated as though they are lists (and burst into individual
characters) even though a different ordering of the upper-level
list would give a different result.
Some of this behavior was unreachable (without risking a crash)
before 81eaaf65e. It seems like a good idea to clean it all up
in the same releases, rather than shipping a non-crashing but
nonetheless visibly buggy behavior in the name of minimal change.

that the error messages don't match the core code and for some ranges

CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION with appended schema elements can lead to
crashes when comparing the schema name of the query with the schemas
used in the qualification of some clauses in the elements' queries.
The origin of the problem is that the transformation routine for the
elements listed in a CREATE SCHEMA query uses as new, expected, schema
name the one listed in CreateSchemaStmt itself. However, depending on
the query, CreateSchemaStmt.schemaname may be NULL, being computed
instead from the role specification of the query given by the
AUTHORIZATION clause, that could be either:
- A user name string, with the new schema name being set to the same
value as the role given.
- Guessed from CURRENT_ROLE, SESSION_ROLE or CURRENT_ROLE, with a new
schema name computed from the security context where CREATE SCHEMA is
running.
Regression tests are added for CREATE SCHEMA with some appended elements
(some of them with schema qualifications), covering also some role
specification patterns.
While on it, this simplifies the context structure used during the
transformation of the elements listed in a CREATE SCHEMA query by
removing the fields for the role specification and the role type. They
were not used, and for the role specification this could be confusing as
the schema name may by extracted from that at the beginning of
CreateSchemaCommand().

The partition pruning logic assumed that "b IS NOT true" was exactly the
same as "b IS FALSE". This is not the case when considering NULL values.
Fix this so we correctly include any partition which could hold NULL
values for the NOT case.
Additionally, this fixes a bug in the partition pruning code which handles
partitioned tables partitioned like ((NOT boolcol)). This is a seemingly
unlikely schema design, and it was untested and also broken.
Here we add tests for the ((NOT boolcol)) case and insert some actual data
into those tables and verify we do get the correct rows back when running
queries. I've also adjusted the existing boolpart tests to include some
data and verify we get the correct results too.
Both the bugs being fixed here could lead to incorrect query results with
fewer rows being returned than expected. No additional rows could have
been returned accidentally.
In passing, remove needless ternary expression. It's more simple just to
pass !is_not_clause to makeBoolConst(). It makes sense to do this so the

Our policy since commit ab77a5a45 has been that a plan node having
any initplans is automatically not parallel-safe. (This could be
relaxed, but not today.) clean_up_removed_plan_level neglected
this, and could attach initplans to a parallel-safe child plan
node without clearing the plan's parallel-safe flag. That could
lead to "subplan was not initialized" errors at runtime, in case
an initplan referenced another one and only the referencing one
got transmitted to parallel workers.
The fix in clean_up_removed_plan_level is trivial enough.
materialize_finished_plan also moves initplans from one node
to another, but it's okay because it already copies the source
node's parallel_safe flag. The other place that does this kind
of thing is standard_planner's hack to inject a top-level Gather
when debug_parallel_query is active. But that's actually dead
code given that we're correctly enforcing the "initplans aren't
parallel safe" rule, so just replace it with an Assert that
there are no initplans.
Also improve some related comments.
Normally we'd add a regression test case for this sort of bug.
The mistake itself is already reached by existing tests, but there

Similar to 8dff2f224, this disables DNS lookups by the Kerberos library

In some environments, these lookups can take a long time and end up
timing out and causing tests to fail. Further, since this isn't really
our domain, we shouldn't be sending out these DNS requests during our
tests.
In our Kerberos test suite, there isn't much need to worry about the
normal canonicalization that Kerberos provides by looking up the reverse
DNS for the IP address connected to, and in some cases it can actively
cause problems (eg: a captive portal wifi where the normally not
resolvable localhost address used ends up being resolved anyway, and
not to the domain we are using for testing, causing the entire
regression test to fail with errors about not being able to get a TGT
for the remote realm for cross-realm trust).

tsquery's GETQUERY() macro is only safe to apply to a tsquery
that is known non-empty; otherwise it gives a pointer to garbage.
Before commit 5a617d75d, ts_headline() avoided this pitfall, but
only in a very indirect, nonobvious way. (hlCover could not reach
its TS_execute call, because if the query contains no lexemes
then hlFirstIndex would surely return -1.) After that commit,
it fell into the trap, resulting in weird errors such as
"unrecognized operator" and/or valgrind complaints. In HEAD,
fix this by not calling TS_execute_locations() at all for an
empty query. In the back branches, add a defensive check to
hlCover() --- that's not fixing any live bug, but I judge the
code a bit too fragile as-is.
Also, both mark_hl_fragments() and mark_hl_words() were careless
about the possibility of empty search text: in the cases where
no match has been found, they'd end up telling mark_fragment() to
mark from word indexes 0 to 0 inclusive, even when there is no
word 0. This is harmless since we over-allocated the prs->words
array, but it does annoy valgrind. Fix so that the end index is -1

The totalrows/totaldeadrows outputs were left uninitialized in cases
where we find no analyzable child tables of a partitioned table. This
could lead to setting the partitioned table's pg_class.reltuples value
to garbage. It's not clear that that would have any very bad effects
in practice, but fix it anyway because it's making valgrind unhappy.
Reported and diagnosed by Alexander Lakhin (bug #17880).

When calling generateSerialExtraStmts(), we would pass in the
constraint->options. In some cases, generateSerialExtraStmts() would
modify the referenced List to remove elements from it, but doing so is
invalid without assigning the list back to all variables that point to it.
In the particular reported problem case, the List became empty, in which
cases it became NIL, but the passed in constraint->options didn't get to
find out about that and was left pointing to free'd memory.
To fix this, just perform a list_copy() inside generateSerialExtraStmts().
We could just do a list_copy() just before we perform the delete from the
list, however, that seems less robust. Let's make sure the generated
CreateSeqStmt gets a completely different copy of the list to be safe.

gistBuildCallback tried to fetch the size of an index tuple that
might have already been freed by gistProcessEmptyingQueue.
While this seems to usually be harmless in production builds,
in principle it could result in a SIGSEGV, or more likely a bogus
value for indtuplesSize leading to poor page-split decisions later
in the build.
The memory management here is confusing and could stand to be
refactored, but for the moment it seems to be enough to fetch
the tuple size sooner. AFAICT the indtuples[Size] totals aren't
used in between these places; even if they were, the updated
values shouldn't be any worse to use. So just move the
incrementing of the totals up.
It's not very clear why our valgrind-using buildfarm animals
haven't noticed this problem, because the relevant code path
does seem to be exercised according to the code coverage report.
I think the reason that we didn't fix this bug after the first
report is that I'd wanted to try to understand that better.
However, now that it's been re-discovered let's just be pragmatic
and fix it already.

find_composite_type_dependencies() ignored indexes, which is a poor
decision because an expression index could have a stored column of
a composite (or other container) type even when the underlying table
does not. Teach it to detect such cases and error out. We have to
work a bit harder than for other relations because the pg_depend entry
won't identify the specific index column of concern, but it's not much
new code.
This does not address bug #17872's original complaint that dropping
a column in such a type might lead to violations of the uniqueness
property that a unique index is supposed to ensure. That seems of
much less concern to me because it won't lead to crashes.
Per bug #17872 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported
branches.

The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to
allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function
has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits
past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes
valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could
cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very
good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case,
so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/.
While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow
of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays,
potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation.
For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of
checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last
addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check,
since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.)
For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all,
since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of
ignoring it.
Per discussion of this bug, also remove redundant zeroing of the
nulls bitmap in array_set_element and array_set_slice.
Patch by Alexander Lakhin and myself, per bug #17858 from Alexander
Lakhin; thanks also to Richard Guo. These bugs are a dozen years old,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
