There are two Asserts in nodeMergejoin.c that are reachable if
the input data is not in the expected order. This seems way too
fragile. Alexander Lakhin reported a case where the assertions
could be triggered with misconfigured foreign-table partitions,

With Python 3.10, configure spits out warnings about the module
distutils.sysconfig being deprecated and scheduled for removal in
Python 3.12. Change the uses in configure to use the module sysconfig
instead. The logic stays largely the same, although we have to
rely on INCLUDEPY instead of the deprecated get_python_inc function.
Note that sysconfig exists since Python 2.7, so this moves the
minimum required version up from Python 2.6 (or 2.4, before v13).
Also, sysconfig didn't exist in Python 3.1, so the minimum 3.x
version is now 3.2.

Commit 8431e296ea reworked ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo to sort XIDs
before adding them to KnownAssignedXids. But the XIDs are sorted using
xidComparator, which compares the XIDs simply as uint32 values, not
logically. KnownAssignedXidsAdd() however expects XIDs in logical order,
and calls TransactionIdFollowsOrEquals() to enforce that. If there are
XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, an error is raised and the
recovery fails/restarts.
Hitting this issue is fairly easy - you just need two transactions, one
started before the 4B limit (e.g. XID 4294967290), the other sometime
after it (e.g. XID 1000). Logically (4294967290 <= 1000) but when
compared using xidComparator we try to add them in the opposite order.
Which makes KnownAssignedXidsAdd() fail with an error like this:
ERROR: out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids
This only happens during replica startup, while processing RUNNING_XACTS
records to build the snapshot. Once we reach STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, we
skip these records. So this does not affect already running replicas,
but if you restart (or create) a replica while there are transactions
with XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, you may hit this.
Long-running transactions and frequent replica restarts increase the
likelihood of hitting this issue. Once the replica gets into this state,
it can't be started (even if the old transactions are terminated).
Fixed by sorting the XIDs logically - this is fine because we're dealing
with normal XIDs (because it's XIDs assigned to backends) and from the
same wraparound epoch (otherwise the backends could not be running at
the same time on the primary node). So there are no problems with the
triangle inequality, which is why xidComparator compares raw values.

8edd0e794 added some code to remove Append and MergeAppend nodes when they
contained a single child node. As it turned out, this was unsafe to do
when the Append/MergeAppend was parallel_aware and the child node was not.
Removing the Append/MergeAppend, in this case, could lead to the child plan
being called multiple times by parallel workers when it was unsafe to do
so.
Here we fix this by just not removing the Append/MergeAppend when the
parallel_aware flag of the parent and child node don't match.

Backpatch-through: 12, where 8edd0e794 was first introduced
In logical replication mode, a WalSender is supposed to be able
to execute any regular SQL command, as well as the special
replication commands. Poor design of the replication-command
parser caused it to fail in various cases, notably:
* semicolons embedded in a command, or multiple SQL commands
sent in a single message;
* dollar-quoted literals containing odd numbers of single
or double quote marks;
* commands starting with a comment.
The basic problem here is that we're trying to run repl_scanner.l
across the entire input string even when it's not a replication
command. Since repl_scanner.l does not understand all of the
token types known to the core lexer, this is doomed to have
failure modes.
We certainly don't want to make repl_scanner.l as big as scan.l,
so instead rejigger stuff so that we only lex the first token of
a non-replication command. That will usually look like an IDENT
to repl_scanner.l, though a comment would end up getting reported
as a '-' or '/' single-character token. If the token is a replication
command keyword, we push it back and proceed normally with repl_gram.y
parsing. Otherwise, we can drop out of exec_replication_command()
without examining the rest of the string.
(It's still theoretically possible for repl_scanner.l to fail on
the first token; but that could only happen if it's an unterminated
single- or double-quoted string, in which case you'd have gotten
largely the same error from the core lexer too.)
In this way, repl_gram.y isn't involved at all in handling general
SQL commands, so we can get rid of the SQLCmd node type. (In
the back branches, we can't remove it because renumbering enum
NodeTag would be an ABI break; so just leave it sit there unused.)
I failed to resist the temptation to clean up some other sloppy
coding in repl_scanner.l while at it. The only externally-visible
behavior change from that is it now accepts \r and \f as whitespace,
same as the core lexer.

Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of
lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state. Every other
copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL),
but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo.
The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most
replication clients would abandon their connection after getting
a syntax error. Still, it's a bug.

Previously, unless we had to add a NOT NULL constraint to the column,
this command resulted in updating only the index's relcache entry.
That's problematic when replication behavior is being driven off the
existence of a primary key: other sessions (and ours too for that
matter) failed to recalculate their opinion of whether the table can
be replicated. Add a relcache invalidation to fix it.
This has been broken since pg_class.relhaspkey was removed in v11.
Before that, updating the table's relhaspkey value sufficed to cause

Commits 6c4a8903b et al. had a couple of deficiencies:
* The logic I added to Cluster::start to see if a PID file is present
could be fooled by a stale PID file left over from a previous
postmaster. To fix, if we're not sure whether we expect to find a
running postmaster or not, validate the PID using "kill 0".
* 017_shm.pl has a loop in which it just issues repeated Cluster::start
calls; this will fail if some invocation fails but leaves self->_pid
set. Per buildfarm results, the above fix is not enough to make this
safe: we might have "validated" a PID for a postmaster that exits
immediately after we look. Hence, match each failed start call with
a stop call that will get us back to the self->_pid == undef state.

It seems highly unlikely that gettext() can be relied on to be
async-signal-safe. psql used to understand that, but someone got
it wrong long ago in the src/bin/scripts/ version of handle_sigint,
and then the bad idea was perpetuated when those two versions were
unified into src/fe_utils/cancel.c.
I'm unsure why there have not been field complaints about this
... maybe gettext() is signal-safe once it's translated at least
one message? But we have no business assuming any such thing.
In cancel.c (v13 and up), I preserved our ability to localize
"Cancel request sent" messages by invoking gettext() before
the signal handler is set up. In earlier branches I just made
src/bin/scripts/ not localize those messages, as psql did then.
(Just for extra unsafety, the src/bin/scripts/ version was
invoking fprintf() from a signal handler. Sigh.)

PQcancel() is supposed to be safe to call from a signal handler,
and indeed psql uses it that way. All of the library functions
it uses are specified to be async-signal-safe by POSIX ...
except for strerror. Neither plain strerror nor strerror_r
are considered safe. When this code was written, back in the
dark ages, we probably figured "oh, strerror will just index
into a constant array of strings" ... but in any locale except C,
that's unlikely to be true. Probably the reason we've not heard
complaints is that (a) this error-handling code is unlikely to be
reached in normal use, and (b) in many scenarios, localized error
strings would already have been loaded, after which maybe it's
safe to call strerror here. Still, this is clearly unacceptable.
The best we can do without relying on strerror is to print the
decimal value of errno, so make it do that instead. (This is
probably not much loss of user-friendliness, given that it is
hard to get a failure here.)

Commit 859b3003de disabled building of extended stats for inheritance
trees, to prevent updating the same catalog row twice. While that
resolved the issue, it also means there are no extended stats for
declaratively partitioned tables, because there are no data in the
non-leaf relations.
That also means declaratively partitioned tables were not affected by
the issue 859b3003de addressed, which means this is a regression
affecting queries that calculate estimates for the whole inheritance
tree as a whole (which includes e.g. GROUP BY queries).
But because partitioned tables are empty, we can invert the condition
and build statistics only for the case with inheritance, without losing
anything. And we can consider them when calculating estimates.
It may be necessary to run ANALYZE on partitioned tables, to collect
proper statistics. For declarative partitioning there should no prior
statistics, and it might take time before autoanalyze is triggered. For
tables partitioned by inheritance the statistics may include data from
child relations (if built 859b3003de), contradicting the current code.

Since commit 859b3003de we only build extended statistics for individual
relations, ignoring the child relations. This resolved the issue with
updating catalog tuple twice, but we still tried to use the statistics
when calculating estimates for the whole inheritance tree. When the
relations contain very distinct data, it may produce bogus estimates.
This is roughly the same issue 427c6b5b9 addressed ~15 years ago, and we
fix it the same way - by ignoring extended statistics when calculating
estimates for the inheritance tree as a whole. We still consider
extended statistics when calculating estimates for individual child
relations, of course.
This may result in plan changes due to different estimates, but if the
old statistics were not describing the inheritance tree particularly
well it's quite likely the new plans is actually better.

If contrib/btree_gist is used to make a GIST index on a char(N)
(bpchar) column, and that column is retrieved via an index-only
scan, what came out had all trailing spaces removed. Since
that doesn't happen in any other kind of table scan, this is
clearly a bug. The cause is that gbt_bpchar_compress() strips
trailing spaces (using rtrim1) before a new index entry is made.
That was probably a good idea when this code was first written,
but since we invented index-only scans, it's not so good.
One answer could be to mark this opclass as incapable of index-only
scans. But to do so, we'd need an extension module version bump,
followed by manual action by DBAs to install the updated version
of btree_gist. And it's not really a desirable place to end up,
anyway.
Instead, let's fix the code by removing the unwanted space-stripping
action and adjusting the opclass's comparison logic to ignore
trailing spaces as bpchar normally does. This will not hinder
cases that work today, since index searches with this logic will
act the same whether trailing spaces are stored or not. It will
not by itself fix the problem of getting space-stripped results
from index-only scans, of course. Users who care about that can
REINDEX affected indexes after installing this update, to immediately
replace all improperly-truncated index entries. Otherwise, it can
be expected that the index's behavior will change incrementally as
old entries are replaced by new ones.

Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the
same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column
can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index
operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which
indicates a gap in our test cases :-().
Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field
to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that
can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any
non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only
guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed
expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c
processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk
if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely.
(We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo
again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way
to avoid needing to do that.)
This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there
are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly,
they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very
invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no
change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions

If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of
the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a
returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result
in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable
column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable
column as intended.
To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node
as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns.
This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching
to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the
exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a
correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other
ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way
seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes
the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the
indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM
will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns.
This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's
