This patch introduces the SQL/JSON standard constructors for JSON:
JSON()
JSON_ARRAY()
JSON_ARRAYAGG()
JSON_OBJECT()
JSON_OBJECTAGG()
For the most part these functions provide facilities that mimic
existing json/jsonb functions. However, they also offer some useful
additional functionality. In addition to text input, the JSON() function
accepts bytea input, which it will decode and constuct a json value from.
The other functions provide useful options for handling duplicate keys
and null values.
This series of patches will be followed by a consolidated documentation
patch.

This introduces some of the building blocks used by the SQL/JSON
constructor and query functions. Specifically, it provides node
executor and grammar support for the FORMAT JSON [ENCODING foo]
clause, and values decorated with it, and for the RETURNING clause.
The following SQL/JSON patches will leverage these.

This is a follow-up to commit 7dac61402 which removed a set of unused
modules from the TAP test.
The Config references in the pg_ctl and pg_rewind tests were removed
in commit 1c6d46293. Fcntl ':mode' and File::stat in the pg_ctl test
were added in c37b3d08c which was probably a leftover from an earlier
version of the patch, as the function using these was added to another
module in that commit.
The Config reference in the ldap test was added in ee56c3b21 which in
turn use $^O instead of interrogating Config.

flatten_join_alias_vars_mutator counted attnums, but didn't

Noted by buildfarm member seawasp.
In the wake of commit 4a39f87ac, which noticeably increased the
size of struct StatsData and thereby ParsedScript, Coverity started
to complain that ParsedScript was unreasonably large to be passing
by value. The two places that do this are only used during setup,
so they're not really dragging down benchmark measurements --- but
gratuitous inefficiency is not a good look in a benchmarking program.
Convert to use pointers instead.
Commit 8c6d30f21 caused this function to fail to set *displen
in the PS_USE_NONE code path. If the variable's previous value
had been negative, that'd lead to a memory clobber at some call
sites. We'd managed not to notice due to very thin test coverage
of such configurations, but this appears to explain buildfarm member
lorikeet's recent struggles.
Credit to Andrew Dunstan for spotting the problem. Back-patch
to v13 where the bug was introduced.

A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the
function caller, expecting to find some data in it. However, feeding
an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access
the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area,
leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated
page).
The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection
already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID
as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct,
but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation
the page is attached to would run into problems.
This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN,
btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero
level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a
special area size that fits with each access method, which is done
though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer().
The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one
would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible
to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths. Having too many
checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing
code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page,
so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a
good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to
superusers.
The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a
block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases
where using a raw page is useful.
Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and
an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what
this commit adds.

One of the TAP tests added in 923def9a53 did not wait after creating a

The SSL TAP tests were tightly coupled to the OpenSSL implementation,
making it hard to add support for additional SSL/TLS backends. This
refactoring makes the test avoid depending on specific implementations
The SSLServer Perl module is renamed SSL::Server, which in turn use
SSL::Backend::X where X is the backend pointed to by with_ssl. Each
backend will implement its own module responsible for setting up keys,
certs and to resolve sslkey values to their implementation specific
value (file paths or vault nicknames etc). Further, switch_server_cert
now takes a set of named parameters rather than a fixed set which used
defaults. The modules also come with POD documentation.
There are a few testcases which still use OpenSSL specifics, but it's
not entirely clear how to abstract those until we have another library
implemented.
Original patch by me, with lots of rework by Andrew Dunstan to turn it
into better Perl.

clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with
a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c
tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL. This appears to be
a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly. Fortunately,
we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which
seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing
double-evaluation hazard.

A fair percentage of the buildfarm doesn't recognize that oldcxt

While here, upgrade the function's thoroughly inadequate header comment.
Oversight in 923def9a5, per buildfarm.
This allows specifying an optional column list when adding a table to
logical replication. The column list may be specified after the table
name, enclosed in parentheses. Columns not included in this list are not
sent to the subscriber, allowing the schema on the subscriber to be a
subset of the publisher schema.
For UPDATE/DELETE publications, the column list needs to cover all
REPLICA IDENTITY columns. For INSERT publications, the column list is
arbitrary and may omit some REPLICA IDENTITY columns. Furthermore, if
the table uses REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, column list is not allowed.
The column list can contain only simple column references. Complex
expressions, function calls etc. are not allowed. This restriction could
be relaxed in the future.
During the initial table synchronization, only columns included in the
column list are copied to the subscriber. If the subscription has
several publications, containing the same table with different column
lists, columns specified in any of the lists will be copied.
This means all columns are replicated if the table has no column list
at all (which is treated as column list with all columns), or when of
the publications is defined as FOR ALL TABLES (possibly IN SCHEMA that
matches the schema of the table).
For partitioned tables, publish_via_partition_root determines whether
the column list for the root or the leaf relation will be used. If the
parameter is 'false' (the default), the list defined for the leaf
relation is used. Otherwise, the column list for the root partition
will be used.
Psql commands \dRp+ and \d <table-name> now display any column lists.

The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a
predetermined set of page locations. However, there's a roughly
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch
was reported.
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is
that day.
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is
incorrect.
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against. We've
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get
much sympathy.
Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the standby
would fail to recover in such a case. However, the directories could be
legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.
This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a
tally of missing directories during crash recovery. If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the
primary.
Backpatch to 13, at least for now. The bug is older, but fixing it in
older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with
commit e6d8069522, which appeared in 13.
A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition. However, because
it depends on commit d6d317dbf6, it can only be added to branch
master. I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected
in branch 14. It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by
tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse.
Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we
couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so
perhaps this is the best we can do.

A TOAST table can normally have only one index, but there are corner
cases where it has more; for example, transiently during REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY. In such a case, the pg_statio_all_tables view produced
multiple rows for the owning table, one per TOAST index. Refactor the
view to avoid that, instead summing the stats across all the indexes,
as we do for regular table indexes.
While this has been wrong for a long time, back-patching seems unwise
due to the difficulty of putting a system view change into back

This commit adds support for decoding of sequences to the built-in
replication (the infrastructure was added by commit 0da92dc530).
The syntax and behavior mostly mimics handling of tables, i.e. a
publication may be defined as FOR ALL SEQUENCES (replicating all
sequences in a database), FOR ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA (replicating
all sequences in a particular schema) or individual sequences.
To publish sequence modifications, the publication has to include
'sequence' action. The protocol is extended with a new message,
describing sequence increments.
A new system view pg_publication_sequences lists all the sequences
added to a publication, both directly and indirectly. Various psql
commands (\d and \dRp) are improved to also display publications
including a given sequence, or sequences included in a publication.

The command used in the documentation to retrieve the value of the
runtime-computed GUC shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages would also show to
the user all the log messages generated by the postmaster before and
after printing the wanted value. This can be confusing, as the wanted
result could be masked with a lot of noise.
One way to avoid those log messages is to use something like "-c
log_min_messages=fatal" in the command (my idea, but that's not common
knowledge). Rather than mentioning this option, suffix the command with
a redirection of stderr to /dev/null, which is the stream location where
the logs show up. This is enough to show only the GUC value to the
