Tom Lane eaf0292c3b Fix unsafe memory management in CloneRowTriggersToPartition().
It's not really supported to call systable_getnext() in a different
memory context than systable_beginscan() was called in, and it's
*definitely* not safe to do so and then reset that context between
calls.  I'm not very clear on how this code survived
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing ... but Alexander Lakhin found a case
that would crash it pretty reliably.

Per bug #15828.  Fix, and backpatch to v11 where this code came in.

Tomas Vondra fe415ff104 Make error logging in extended statistics more consistent
Most errors reported in extended statistics are internal issues, and so
should use elog(). The MCV list code was already following this rule, but
the functional dependencies and ndistinct coefficients were using a mix
of elog() and ereport(). Fix this by changing most places to elog(), with
the exception of input functions.

This is a mostly cosmetic change, it makes the life a little bit easier
for translators, as elog() messages are not translated. So backpatch to
PostgreSQL 10, where extended statistics were introduced.

Andres Freund 73b8c3bd28 tableam: Rename wrapper functions to match callback names.
Some of the wrapper functions didn't match the callback names. Many of
them due to staying "consistent" with historic naming of the wrapped
functionality. We decided that for most cases it's more important to
be for tableam to be consistent going forward, than with the past.

The one exception is beginscan/endscan/...  because it'd have looked
odd to have systable_beginscan/endscan/... with a different naming
scheme, and changing the systable_* APIs would have caused way too
much churn (including breaking a lot of external users).

(I considered whether the duplicates could be removed in planning, but

Tom Lane 166f69f769 Fix O(N^2) performance issue in pg_publication_tables view.
The original coding of this view relied on a correlated IN sub-query.
Our planner is not very bright about correlated sub-queries, and even
if it were, there's no way for it to know that the output of
pg_get_publication_tables() is duplicate-free, making the de-duplicating
semantics of IN unnecessary.  Hence, rewrite as a LATERAL sub-query.
This provides circa 100X speedup for me with a few hundred published
tables (the whole regression database), and things would degrade as
roughly O(published_relations * all_relations) beyond that.

Because the rules.out expected output changes, force a catversion bump.
Ordinarily we might not want to do that post-beta1; but we already know
we'll be doing a catversion bump before beta2 to fix pg_statistic_ext
issues, so it's pretty much free to fix it now instead of waiting for v13.

Per report and fix suggestion from PegoraroF10.

Andres Freund 2657283256 Minimally fix partial aggregation for aggregates that don't have one argument.
For partial aggregation combine steps,
AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set to the transition function's
number of inputs, rather than the combine function's number of
inputs (always 1).

That lead to partial aggregates with strict combine functions to
wrongly check for NOT NULL input as required by strictness. When the
aggregate wasn't exactly passed one argument, the strictness check was
either omitted (in the 0 args case) or too many arguments were
checked. In the latter case we'd read beyond the end of
FunctionCallInfoData->args (only in master).

AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs actually has been wrong since since
9.6, where partial aggregates were added. But it turns out to not be
an active problem in 9.6 and 10, because numTransInputs wasn't used at
all for combine functions: Before c253b722f6 there simply was no NULL
check for the input to strict trans functions, and after that the
check was simply hardcoded for the right offset in fcinfo, as it's
done by code specific to combine functions.

In bf6c614a2f (11) the strictness check was generalized, with common
code doing the strictness checks for both plain and combine transition
functions, based on numTransInputs. For combine functions this lead to
not emitting an expression step to check for strict input in the 0
arguments case, and in the > 1 arguments case, we'd check too many
arguments.Due to the fact that the relevant fcinfo->isnull[2..] was
always zero-initialized (more or less by accident, by being part of
the AggStatePerTrans struct, which is palloc0'ed), there was no
observable damage in the latter case before a9c35cf85c, we just
checked too many array elements.

Due to the changes in a9c35cf85c, > 1 argument bug became visible,
because these days fcinfo is a) dynamically allocated without being
zeroed b) exactly the length required for the number of specified
arguments (hardcoded to 2 in this case).

This commit only contains a fairly minimal fix, setting numTransInputs
to a hardcoded 1 when building a pertrans for a combine function. It
seems likely that we'll want to clean this up further (e.g. the
arguments build_pertrans_for_aggref() aren't particularly meaningful
for combine functions). But the wrap date for 12 beta1 is coming up
fast, so it seems good to have a minimal fix in place.

Backpatch to 11. While AggStatePerTrans->numTransInputs was set
wrongly before that, the value was not used for combine functions.

Andres Freund c3b23ae457 Don't to predicate lock for analyze scans, refactor scan option passing.
Before this commit, when ANALYZE was run on a table and serializable
was used (either by virtue of an explicit BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION
LEVEL SERIALIZABLE, or default_transaction_isolation being set to
serializable) a null pointer dereference lead to a crash.

The analyze scan doesn't need a snapshot (nor predicate locking), but
before this commit a scan only contained information about being a
bitmap or sample scan.

Refactor the option passing to the scan_begin callback to use a
bitmask instead. Alternatively we could have added a new boolean
parameter, but that seems harder to read. Even before this issue
various people (Heikki, Tom, Robert) suggested doing so.

These changes don't change the scan APIs outside of tableam. The flags
argument could be exposed, it's not necessary to fix this
problem. Also the wrapper table_beginscan* functions encapsulate most
of that complexity.

After these changes fixing the bug is trivial, just don't acquire
predicate lock for analyze style scans. That was already done for
bitmap heap scans.  Add an assert that a snapshot is passed when
acquiring the predicate lock, so this kind of bug doesn't require
running with serializable.

Also add a comment about sample scans currently requiring predicate
locking the entire relation, that previously wasn't remarked upon.

gistInitBuildBuffers() appears to have this disease already, and it

having fd.c do this creates layering issues that we could do without.

Add a tableam callback to return the size of the table. As not every

Tom Lane 6630ccad7a Restructure creation of run-time pruning steps.
Previously, gen_partprune_steps() always built executor pruning steps
using all suitable clauses, including those containing PARAM_EXEC
Params.  This meant that the pruning steps were only completely safe
for executor run-time (scan start) pruning.  To prune at executor
startup, we had to ignore the steps involving exec Params.  But this
doesn't really work in general, since there may be logic changes
needed as well --- for example, pruning according to the last operator's
btree strategy is the wrong thing if we're not applying that operator.
The rules embodied in gen_partprune_steps() and its minions are
sufficiently complicated that tracking their incremental effects in
other logic seems quite impractical.

Short of a complete redesign, the only safe fix seems to be to run
gen_partprune_steps() twice, once to create executor startup pruning
steps and then again for run-time pruning steps.  We can save a few
cycles however by noting during the first scan whether we rejected
any clauses because they involved exec Params --- if not, we don't
need to do the second scan.

In support of this, refactor the internal APIs in partprune.c to make
more use of passing information in the GeneratePruningStepsContext
struct, rather than as separate arguments.

This is, I hope, the last piece of our response to a bug report from
Alan Jackson.  Back-patch to v11 where this code came in.

Peter Geoghegan 3f58cc6dd8 Remove extra nbtree half-dead internal page check.
It's not safe for nbtree VACUUM to attempt to delete a target page whose
right sibling is already half-dead, since that would fail the
cross-check when VACUUM attempts to re-find a downlink to the right
sibling in the parent page.  Logic to prevent this from happening was
added by commit 8da3183780, which addressed a bug in the overhaul of
page deletion that went into PostgreSQL 9.4 (commit efada2b8e9).
VACUUM was made to check the right sibling page, and back off when it
happened to be half-dead already.

However, it is only truly necessary to do the right sibling check on the
leaf level, since that transitively determines if the deletion target's
parent's right sibling page is itself undergoing deletion.  Remove the
internal page level check, and add a comment explaining why the leaf
level check alone suffices.

The extra check is also unnecessary due to the fact that internal pages
that are marked half-dead are generally considered corrupt.  Commit
efada2b8e9 established the principle that there should never be
half-dead internal pages (internal pages pending deletion are possible,
but that status is never directly represented in the internal page).
VACUUM will complain about corruption when it encounters half-dead
internal pages, so VACUUM is bound to raise an error one way or another
when an nbtree index has a half-dead internal page (contrib/amcheck will
also report that the page is corrupt).

It's possible that a pg_upgrade'd 9.3 database will still have half-dead
internal pages, so it may seem like there is an argument for leaving the
check in place to reliably get a cleaner error message that advises the
user to REINDEX.  However, leaf pages are also deleted in the first
phase of deletion prior to PostgreSQL 9.4, so I believe we won't even
attempt to re-find the parent page anyway (we won't have the fully
deleted leaf page as the right sibling of our target page, so we won't
even try to find a downlink for it).

Tom Lane 4b1fcb43d0 Fix partition pruning to treat stable comparison operators properly.
Cross-type comparison operators in a btree or hash opclass might be
only stable not immutable (this is true of timestamp vs. timestamptz
for example).  partprune.c ignored this possibility and would perform
plan-time pruning with them anyway, possibly leading to wrong answers
if the environment changed between planning and execution.

To fix, teach gen_partprune_steps() to do things differently when
creating plan-time pruning steps vs. run-time pruning steps.
analyze_partkey_exprs() also needs an extra check, which is rather
annoying but now is not the time to restructure things enough to
avoid that.

While at it, simplify the logic for the plan-time case a little
by insisting that the comparison value be a Const and nothing else.
This relies on the assumption that eval_const_expressions will have
reduced any immutable expression to a Const; which is not quite
100% true, but certainly any case that comes up often enough to be
interesting should have simplification logic there.

Also improve a bunch of inadequate/obsolete/wrong comments.

Peter Geoghegan 489e431ba5 Remove obsolete nbtree insertion comment.
Remove a Berkeley-era comment above _bt_insertonpg() that admonishes the
reader to grok Lehman and Yao's paper before making any changes.  This
made a certain amount of sense back when _bt_insertonpg() was
responsible for most of the things that are now spread across
_bt_insertonpg(), _bt_findinsertloc(), _bt_insert_parent(), and
_bt_split(), but it doesn't work like that anymore.

I believe that this comment alludes to the need to "couple" or "crab"
buffer locks as we ascend the tree as page splits cascade upwards.  The
nbtree README already explains this in detail, which seems sufficient.
Besides, the changes to page splits made by commit 40dae7ec53 altered
the exact details of how buffer locks are retained during splits; Lehman
and Yao's original algorithm seems to release the lock on the left child
page/buffer slightly earlier than _bt_insertonpg()/_bt_insert_parent()
can.

Peter Geoghegan 7505da2f45 Reverse order of newitem nbtree candidate splits.
Commit fab25024, which taught nbtree to choose candidate split points
more carefully, had _bt_findsplitloc() record all possible split points
in an initial pass over a page that is about to be split.  The order
that candidate split points were processed and stored in was assumed to
match the offset number order of split points on an imaginary version of
the page that contains the same items as the original, but also fits
newitem (the item that provoked the split precisely because it didn't
fit).

However, the order of split points in the final array was not quite what
was expected: the split point that makes newitem the firstright item
came after the split point that makes newitem the lastleft item -- not
before.  As a result, _bt_findsplitloc() could get confused about the
leftmost and rightmost tuples among all possible split points recorded
for the page.  This seems to have no appreciable impact on the quality
of the final split point chosen by _bt_findsplitloc(), but it's still
wrong.

To fix, switch the order in which newitem candidate splits are recorded
in.  This also makes it possible to describe candidate split points in
terms of which pair of adjoining tuples enclose the split point within
_bt_findsplitloc(), making it clearer why it's generally safe for
_bt_split() to expect lastleft and firstright tuples.

Andres Freund aa4b8c61d2 Handle table_complete_speculative's succeeded argument as documented.
For some reason both callsite and the implementation for heapam had
the meaning inverted (i.e. succeeded == true was passed in case of
conflict). That's confusing.

I (Andres) briefly pondered whether it'd be better to rename
table_complete_speculative's argument to 'bool specConflict' or such,
but decided not to. The 'complete' in the function name for me makes
`succeeded` sound a bit better.

Tom Lane 7c850320d8 Fix SQL-style substring() to have spec-compliant greediness behavior.
SQL's regular-expression substring() function is defined to have a
pattern argument that's separated into three subpatterns by escape-
double-quote markers; the function result is the part of the input
matching the second subpattern.  The standard makes it clear that
if there is ambiguity about how to match the input to the subpatterns,
the first and third subpatterns should be taken to match the smallest
possible amount of text (i.e., they're "non greedy", in the terms of
our regex code).  We were not doing it that way: the first subpattern
would eat the largest possible amount of text, causing the function
result to be shorter than what the spec requires.

Fix that by attaching explicit greediness quantifiers to the
subpatterns.  (This depends on the regex fix in commit 8a29ed053;
before that, this didn't reliably change the regex engine's behavior.)

Also, by adding parentheses around each subpattern, we ensure that
"|" (OR) in the subpatterns behave sanely.  Previously, "|" in the
first or third subpatterns didn't work.

This patch also makes the function throw error if you write more than
two escape-double-quote markers, and do something sane if you write
just one, and document that behavior.  Previously, an odd number of
markers led to a confusing complaint about unbalanced parentheses,
while extra pairs of markers were just ignored.  (Note that the spec
requires exactly two markers, but we've historically allowed there
to be none, and this patch preserves the old behavior for that case.)

In passing, adjust some substring() test cases that didn't really
prove what they said they were testing for: they used patterns
that didn't match the data string, so that the output would be
NULL whether or not the function was really strict.

Although this is certainly a bug fix, changing the behavior in back
branches seems undesirable: applications could perhaps be depending on
the old behavior, since it's not obviously wrong unless you read the
spec very closely.  Hence, no back-patch.

Tom Lane fb489e4b31 In bootstrap mode, use default signal handling for SIGINT etc.
Previously, the code pointed the standard process-termination signals
to postgres.c's die().  That would typically result in an attempt to
execute a transaction abort, which is not possible in bootstrap mode,
leading to PANIC.  This choice seems to be a leftover from an old code
structure in which the same signal-assignment code was used for many
sorts of auxiliary processes, including interactive standalone
backends.  It's not very sensible for bootstrap mode, which has no
interest in either interactivity or continuing after an error.  We can
get better behavior with less effort by just letting normal process
termination happen, after which the parent initdb process will clean up.

This is basically cosmetic in any case, since initdb will react the
same way whether bootstrap dies on a signal or abort().  Given the
lack of previous complaints, I don't feel a need to back-patch,
even though the behavior is old.

Heikki Linnakangas 22251686f0 Detect internal GiST page splits correctly during index build.
As we descend the GiST tree during insertion, we modify any downlinks on
the way down to include the new tuple we're about to insert (if they don't
cover it already). Modifying an existing downlink might cause an internal
page to split, if the new downlink tuple is larger than the old one. If
that happens, we need to back up to the parent and re-choose a page to
insert to. We used to detect that situation, thanks to the NSN-LSN
interlock normally used to detect concurrent page splits, but that got
broken by commit 9155580fd5. With that commit, we now use a dummy constant
LSN value for every page during index build, so the LSN-NSN interlock no
longer works. I thought that was OK because there can't be any other
backends modifying the index during index build, but missed that the
insertion itself can modify the page we're inserting to. The consequence
was that we would sometimes insert the new tuple to an incorrect page, one
whose downlink doesn't cover the new tuple.

To fix, add a flag to the stack that keeps track of the state while
descending tree, to indicate that a page was split, and that we need to
retry the descend from the parent.

Thomas Munro first reported that the contrib/intarray regression test was
failing occasionally on the buildfarm after commit 9155580fd5. The failure
was intermittent, because the gistchoose() function is not deterministic,
and would only occasionally create the right circumstances for this bug to
cause the failure.

Patch by Anastasia Lubennikova, with some changes by me to make it work
correctly also when the internal page split also causes the "grandparent"
to be split.

Peter Geoghegan ae7291acbc Standardize ItemIdData terminology.
The term "item pointer" should not be used to refer to ItemIdData
variables, since that is needlessly ambiguous.  Only
ItemPointerData/ItemPointer variables should be called item pointers.

To fix, establish the convention that ItemIdData variables should always
be referred to either as "item identifiers" or "line pointers".  The
term "item identifier" already predominates in docs and translatable
messages, and so should be the preferred alternative there.

Tom Lane 32ebb35128 Fix logical replication's ideas about which type OIDs are built-in.
Only hand-assigned type OIDs should be presumed to match across different
PG servers; those assigned during genbki.pl or during initdb are likely
to change due to addition or removal of unrelated objects.

This means that the cutoff should be FirstGenbkiObjectId (in HEAD)
or FirstBootstrapObjectId (before that), not FirstNormalObjectId.
Compare postgres_fdw's is_builtin() test.

It's likely that this error has no observable consequence in a
normally-functioning system, since ATM the only affected type OIDs are
system catalog rowtypes and information_schema types, which would not
typically be interesting for logical replication.  But you could
probably break it if you tried hard, so back-patch.

Peter Geoghegan 9b42e71376 Don't leave behind junk nbtree pages during split.
Commit 8fa30f906b reduced the elevel of a number of "can't happen"
_bt_split() errors from PANIC to ERROR.  At the same time, the new right
page buffer for the split could continue to be acquired well before the
critical section.  This was possible because it was relatively
straightforward to make sure that _bt_split() could not throw an error,
with a few specific exceptions.  The exceptional cases were safe because
they involved specific, well understood errors, making it possible to
consistently zero the right page before actually raising an error using
elog().  There was no danger of leaving around a junk page, provided
_bt_split() stuck to this coding rule.

Commit 8224de4f, which introduced INCLUDE indexes, added code to make
_bt_split() truncate away non-key attributes.  This happened at a point
that broke the rule around zeroing the right page in _bt_split().  If
truncation failed (perhaps due to palloc() failure), that would result
in an errant right page buffer with junk contents.  This could confuse
VACUUM when it attempted to delete the page, and should be avoided on
general principle.

To fix, reorganize _bt_split() so that truncation occurs before the new
right page buffer is even acquired.  A junk page/buffer will not be left
behind if _bt_nonkey_truncate()/_bt_truncate() raise an error.
