Previously, trying to set storage parameters on a partitioned table
always led to "unrecognized parameter foo", because the code expected
there might be some valid parameters; but there aren't any. The docs
make clear that it's intended that there never will be any, so let's
replace this useless search with a more to-the-point message.

The code building an absolute path to a file included, as prefixed by
'@' in authentication files, for user and database lists uses the same
logic as for GUCs, except that it has no need to know about DataDir as
there is always a calling file to rely to build the base directory path.
The refactoring done in a1a7bb8 makes this move straight-forward, and
unifies the code used for GUCs and authentication files, and the
intention is to rely also on that for the upcoming patch to be able to
include full files from HBA or ident files.
Note that this gets rid of an inconsistency introduced in 370f909, that
copied the logic coming from GUCs but applied it for files included in
authentication files, where the result buffer given to
join_path_components() must have a size of MAXPGPATH. Based on a
double-check of the existing code, all the other callers of
join_path_components() already do that, except the code path changed
here.

The planner simplifies boolean comparisons such as "x = true" and
"x = false" down to "x" and "NOT x" respectively, to have a canonical
form to ease comparisons. However, if we want to use an index on x,
the index AM APIs require us to reconstitute the comparison-operator
form of the indexqual. While that works, in bitmap indexscans the
canonical form of the qual was emitted as a "filter" condition
although it really only needs to be a "recheck" condition, because
create_bitmap_scan_plan didn't recognize the equivalence of that
form with the generated indexqual. booleq() is pretty cheap so that
likely doesn't make very much difference, but it's unsightly so
let's clean it up.
To fix, add a case to predicate_implied_by() to recognize the
equivalence of such clauses. This is a relatively low-cost place to
add a check, and perhaps it will have additional use cases in future.

the aligned buffers used for the vectored I/O writes have a size of
XLOG_BLCKSZ, and not BLCKSZ anymore, as pg_pwrite_zeros() relies on

Commit 4ab5dae94 broke mdunlinkfork's logic for removing additional
segments of a multi-gigabyte table, because it neglected to advance
"segno" after unlinking the first segment, in the code path where it
chooses to unlink that one immediately. Then the main remove loop
gets ENOENT at segment zero and figures it's done, so we never remove
whatever additional segments might exist.
The main problem here is with large temporary tables, but WAL replay
of a drop of a large regular table would also fail to remove extra
segments. The third case where this path is taken is for non-main
forks; but I doubt it matters for those since they probably never
exceed 1GB.
The simplest fix is just to increment segno after that unlink().
(Probably this logic could do with a more thorough rethink, but not
with mere hours to go before 15.1 wraps.)
While here, also fix an incautious assumption that
register_forget_request cannot change errno. I don't think that
that has any really bad consequences, as we'd end up trying to unlink
the zero'th segment either way, but it greatly complicates reasoning
about what could happen here. Also make a couple of other cosmetic
fixes.

If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language
CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker,
we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That
seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing.
The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be
executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c
doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor.
We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully
if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive

We have various requirements when using a dlist_head to keep track of the
number of items in the list. This, traditionally, has been done by
maintaining a counter variable in the calling code. Here we tidy this up
by adding "dclist", which is very similar to dlist but also keeps track of
the number of items stored in the list.
Callers may use the new dclist_count() function when they need to know how
many items are stored. Obtaining the count is an O(1) operation.
For simplicity reasons, dclist and dlist both use dlist_node as their node
type and dlist_iter/dlist_mutable_iter as their iterator type. dclists
have all of the same functionality as dlists except there is no function
named dclist_delete(). To remove an item from a list dclist_delete_from()
must be used. This requires knowing which dclist the given item is stored
in.
Additionally, here we also convert some dlists where additional code
exists to keep track of the number of items stored and to make these use
dclists instead.

Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv
(retaining the old name as a link).
The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones
whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei,
Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam,
Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo,
Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen,
Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti,
Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis.
(This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of
these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland,
Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon,
America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and
Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering
that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have
been errors.
While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no
post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects
some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged
in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone
history for those zones may be troublesome for applications
expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the
stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as
'1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected,
but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'.
There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data
files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also
resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so
that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option
than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason
and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the
"packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior
to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with
--with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose
significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone
files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
Some cases would result in "cache lookup failed for statistics object",
due to trying to fetch inherited statistics when only non-inherited
ones are available or vice versa.

This commit adds a function to perform a cross-check between the initial
value of the C declaration associated to a GUC and its actual boot
value in assert-enabled builds. The purpose of this is to prevent
anybody reading these C declarations from being fooled by mismatched
values before they are loaded at program startup.
The following rules apply depending on the GUC type:
* bool - can be false, or same as boot_val.
* int - can be 0, or same as the boot_val.
* real - can be 0.0, or same as the boot_val.
* string - can be NULL, or strcmp'd equal to the boot_val.
* enum - equal to the boot_val.
This is done for the system as well custom GUCs loaded by external
modules, which may require extension developers to adapt the C
declaration of the variables used by these GUCs (testing this change
with some of my own modules has allowed me to catch some stupid typos,
FWIW). This may finish by being a bad experiment depending on the

When all of the query's DISTINCT pathkeys have been marked as redundant
due to EquivalenceClasses existing which contain constants, we can just
implement the DISTINCT operation on a query by just limiting the number of
returned rows to 1 instead of performing a Unique on all of the matching
(duplicate) rows.
This applies in cases such as:
SELECT DISTINCT col,col2 FROM tab WHERE col = 1 AND col2 = 10;
If there are any matching rows, then they must all be {1,10}. There's no
point in fetching all of those and running a Unique operator on them to
leave only a single row. Here we effectively just find the first row and
then stop. We are obviously unable to apply this optimization if either
the col = 1 or col2 = 10 were missing from the WHERE clause or if there
were any additional columns in the SELECT clause.
Such queries are probably not all that common, but detecting when we can
apply this optimization amounts to checking if the distinct_pathkeys are
NULL, which is very cheap indeed.
Nothing is done here to check if the query already has a LIMIT clause. If
it does then the plan may end up with 2 Limits nodes. There's no harm in
that and it's probably not worth the complexity to unify them into a
single Limit node.

Here we add a new 'copy' parameter to tuplesort_getdatum so that we can
instruct the function not to datumCopy() byref Datums before returning.
Similar to 91e9e89dc, this can provide significant performance
improvements in nodeSort when sorting by a single byref column and the
sort's targetlist contains only that column.
This allows us to re-enable Datum sorts for byref types which was disabled
in 3a5817695 due to a reported memory leak.
Additionally, here we slightly optimize DISTINCT aggregates so that we no
longer perform any datumCopy() when we find the current value not to be
distinct from the previous value. Previously the code would always take a
copy of the most recent Datum and pfree the previous value, even when the
values were the same. Testing shows a small but noticeable performance
increase when aggregate transitions are skipped due to the current
transition value being the same as the prior one.

When we decide we need to make a derived clause equating a.x and
b.y, we already will re-use a previously-made clause "a.x = b.y".
But we might instead have "b.y = a.x", which is perfectly usable
because equivclass.c has never promised anything about the
operand order in clauses it builds. Saving construction of a
new RestrictInfo doesn't matter all that much in itself --- but
because we cache selectivity estimates and so on per-RestrictInfo,
there's a possibility of saving a fair amount of duplicative
effort downstream.
Hence, check for commutative matches as well as direct ones when
seeing if we have a pre-existing clause. This changes the visible
clause order in several regression test cases, but they're all
clearly-insignificant changes.
Checking for the reverse operand order is simple enough, but
if we wanted to check for operator OID match we'd need to call
get_commutator here, which is not so cheap. I concluded that
we don't really need the operator check anyway, so I just
removed it. It's unlikely that an opfamily contains more than
one applicable operator for a given pair of operand datatypes;
and if it does they had better give the same answers, so there
seems little need to insist that we use exactly the one
select_equality_operator chose.
Using the current core regression suite as a test case, I see
this change reducing the number of new join clauses built by
create_join_clause from 9673 to 5142 (out of 26652 calls).
So not quite 50% savings, but pretty close to it.

As the recent commit 05d4cbf (reverted after as a448e49) has proved,
there is zero coverage for the four SQL functions that can scan the
control file data:
- pg_control_checkpoint()
- pg_control_init()
- pg_control_recovery()
- pg_control_system()
This commit adds a minimal coverage for these functions, checking that
their execution is able to complete. This would have been enough to
catch the problems introduced in the commit mentioned above. More
checks could be done for each individual fields, but it is unclear
whether this would be better than the other checks in place in the
backend code.

These numbers are strictly-monotone identifiers assigned to each rule
of pg_hba_file_rules and each map of pg_ident_file_mappings when loading
the HBA and ident configuration files, indicating the order in which
they are checked at authentication time, until a match is found.
With only one file loaded currently, this is equivalent to the line
numbers assigned to the entries loaded if one wants to know their order,
but this becomes mandatory once the inclusion of external files is
added to the HBA and ident files to be able to know in which order the
rules and/or maps are applied at authentication. Note that NULL is used
when a HBA or ident entry cannot be parsed or validated, aka when an
error exists, contrary to the line number.

The intention behind 1b73d0b was to limit the use of TokenizedAuthLine,
but I have fat-fingered one location in parse_hba_line() when creating
the HbaLine, where this should use the local variable and not the value

This has the advantage to limit the presence of the GUC values
hba_file and ident_file to the code paths where these files are loaded,
easing the introduction of an upcoming feature aimed at adding inclusion
logic for files and directories in HBA and ident files.
Note that this needs the addition of the source file name to HbaLine, in
addition to the line number, which is something needed by the backend in
two places of auth.c (authentication failure details and auth_id log
when log_connections is enabled).
While on it, adjust a log generated on authentication failure to report
the name of the actual HBA file on which the connection attempt matched,
where the line number and the raw line written in the HBA file were
already included. This was previously hardcoded as pg_hba.conf, which
would be incorrect when a custom value is used at postmaster startup for
the GUC hba_file.

The IsCTIDVar() tests in nodeTidscan.c and nodeTidrangescan.c
look buggy at first sight: they aren't checking that the varno
matches the table to be scanned. Actually they're safe because
any Var in a scan-level qual must be for the correct table ...
but if we're depending on that, it's pretty pointless to verify
varlevelsup. (Besides which, varlevelsup is *always* zero at
execution, since we've flattened the rangetable long since.)
Remove the useless varlevelsup check, and instead add some
commentary explaining why we don't need to check varno.
Noted while fooling with a planner change that causes the order
of "t1.ctid = t2.ctid" to change in some tidscan.sql tests;
I was briefly fooled into thinking there was a live bug here.

lstat() failed that way. If we got STATUS_DELETE_PENDING while trying
to unlink a file that we had already unlinked successfully once before

Since commit c5cb8f3b taught stat() to follow symlinks, and since initdb
uses pg_mkdir_p(), and that examines parent directories, our humble
readlink() implementation can now be exposed to junction points not of
PostgreSQL origin. Those might be corrupted by our naive path mangling,
which doesn't really understand NT paths in general.
Simply decline to transform paths that don't look like a drive absolute

checking a parent directory of PGDATA that happen to point to a drive
using "rooted" format. That works for the purposes of our stat()

The new tests have been reporting a warning hidden in the logs, as of
"Odd number of elements in hash assignment" (perlcritic or similar did
not report an issue, actually). This comes down to a typo in the test
"matching regexp for username" for a double-quoted regexp using commas,
where we passed an extra argument. The test is intended to pass, but
this was causing the test to fail. This also pointed out that the
newly-added role "md5,role" lacks an entry in the password file used to
provide the password, so add one.
While on it, make the tests pickier by checking the contents of the logs
generated on successful authentication.
Oversights in 8fea868.
As of this commit, any database or user entry beginning with a slash (/)
is considered as a regular expression. This is particularly useful for
users, as now there is no clean way to match pattern on multiple HBA
lines. For example, a user name mapping with a regular expression needs
first to match with a HBA line, and we would skip the follow-up HBA
entries if the ident regexp does *not* match with what has matched in
the HBA line.
pg_hba.conf is able to handle multiple databases and roles with a
comma-separated list of these, hence individual regular expressions that
include commas need to be double-quoted.
At authentication time, user and database names are now checked in the
following order:
- Arbitrary keywords (like "all", the ones beginning by '+' for
membership check), that we know will never have a regexp. A fancy case
is for physical WAL senders, we *have* to only match "replication" for
the database.
- Regular expression matching.
- Exact match.
The previous logic did the same, but without the regexp step.
We have discussed as well the possibility to support regexp pattern
matching for host names, but these happen to lead to tricky issues based
on what I understand, particularly with host entries that have CIDRs.
This commit relies heavily on the refactoring done in a903971 and
fc579e1, so as the amount of code required to compile and execute
regular expressions is now minimal. When parsing pg_hba.conf, all the
computed regexps needs to explicitely free()'d, same as pg_ident.conf.
Documentation and TAP tests are added to cover this feature, including
cases where the regexps use commas (for clarity in the docs, coverage
for the parsing logic in the tests).
Note that this introduces a breakage with older versions, where a
database or user name beginning with a slash are treated as something to
check for an equal match. Per discussion, we have discarded this as
being much of an issue in practice as it would require a cluster to
have database and/or role names that begin with a slash, as well as HBA
entries using these. Hence, the consistency gained with regexps in
pg_ident.conf is more appealing in the long term.
**This compatibility change should be mentioned in the release notes.**

Because of a small thinko in 7844c9918a,
psql -c would exit successfully when a query is canceled. Fix this so
that it exits with a nonzero status, just like for all other errors.
Since pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() exist, the tablespace map
data and the backup state data (backup_label string until 7d70809) have
been allocated in the TopMemoryContext. This approach would cause
memory leaks in the session calling these functions if failures happen
before pg_backup_stop() ends, leaking more memory on repeated failures.
Both things need little memory so that would not be really noticeable
for most users, except perhaps connection poolers with long-lived
connections able to trigger backup failures with these functions.
This commit improves the logic in this area by not allocating anymore
the backup-related data that needs to travel across the SQL-callable
backup functions in TopMemoryContext, by using instead a dedicated
memory context child of TopMemoryContext. The memory context is created
in pg_backup_start() and deleted when finishing pg_backup_stop(). In
the event of an in-flight failure, this memory context gets reset in the
follow-up pg_backup_start() call, so as we are sure that only one run
worth of data is leaked at any time. Some cleanup was already done for
the backup data on a follow-up call of pg_backup_start(), but using a
memory context makes the whole simpler.
BASE_BACKUP commands are executed in isolation, relying on the memory
context created for replication commands, hence these do not need such
an extra logic.

It happens that the parts of hba.conf that are planned to be extended

message as the one used currently for pg_ident.conf when a regular

and its line location in the so-said file.
This change makes the follow-up patches slightly simpler, and the logic
remains the same. I suspect that this makes the proposal to add support

Various test suites use the "openssl" program as part of their setup.
There isn't a way to override which openssl program is to be used,
other than by fiddling with the path, perhaps. This has gotten
increasingly problematic because different versions of openssl have
different capabilities and do different things by default.
This patch checks for an openssl binary in configure and meson setup,

This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer
exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and
with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the
result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input,
and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant
digits.
Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first
input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For
results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few
or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced
0.0000000000000000).
Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into
power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight.

When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no
association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are
created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the
assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder().
This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we
start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically
start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't
guarantee to make the association between top transaction and
subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction.
The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have
been checked before the restart.
The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track
that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog
changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions
is marked as containing catalog change.

However, in order for this to work, we have to repurpose the flag passed

(and the only caller always passed true). It now indicates whether the
callback is being called at start time (in which case the session backup
state is known not to have been set to RUNNING yet, so action is always
taken) or shmem time (in which case action is only taken if the session

AuthToken gains a regular expression, and IdentLine is changed so as it
uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string
used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t. In the case
of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase
of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building
the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a
pre-parsed entry.
The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is
now done in a new set of routines called respectively
regcomp_auth_token() and regexec_auth_token() that are wrappers around
pg_regcomp() and pg_regexec(), working on AuthTokens. While on it, this

Preprocessing of the HAVING clause will reduce havingQual to NIL
if the clause is constant-TRUE. This is one case where that
convention is rather unfortunate, because "HAVING TRUE" is not at all
the same as not having any HAVING clause at all. (Per the SQL spec,
it still forces the query to be grouped.) The planner deals with this
by having a boolean hasHavingQual that records whether havingQual was
originally nonempty; places that just want to check whether HAVING
was specified are supposed to consult that.
I found three places that got that wrong. Fortunately, these could
only affect cost estimates not correctness. It'd be hard even
to demonstrate the errors; for example, the one in allpaths.c would
only matter in a query that has HAVING TRUE but no GROUP BY and no
aggregates, which would require a completely variable-free SELECT
list, making the case probably of only academic interest. Hence,
while these are worth fixing before someone copies the incorrect
coding somewhere more critical, they don't seem worth back-patching.

When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've
historically allowed the input and result types to be
binary-compatible with the function's input and result types,
rather than necessarily being identical. This means that the new
cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts
that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you
try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail.
Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies
so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement.
This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate
functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain
similar dependencies. However, for now it seems sufficient to fix
the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics
should keep it out of trouble for other object types.
Per report from David Turoň; thanks also to Robert Haas for
preliminary investigation. I considered back-patching, but
seeing that this issue has existed for many years without
previous reports, it's not clear it's worth the trouble.
Moreover, back-patching wouldn't be enough to ensure that the
new pg_depend entries exist in existing databases anyway.

DefineQueryRewrite() has long required that ON SELECT rules be named
"_RETURN". But we overlooked the converse case: we should forbid
non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN". In particular this
prevents using CREATE OR REPLACE RULE to overwrite a view's _RETURN
rule with some other kind of rule, thereby breaking the view.
Per bug #17646 from Kui Liu. Back-patch to all supported branches.

The executor will dump core if it's asked to execute a seqscan on
a relation having no table AM, such as a view. While that shouldn't
really happen, it's possible to get there via catalog corruption,
such as a missing ON SELECT rule. It seems worth installing a defense
against that. There are multiple plausible places for such a defense,
but I picked the planner's get_relation_info().
Per discussion of bug #17646 from Kui Liu. Back-patch to v12 where
the tableam APIs were introduced; in older versions you won't get a
SIGSEGV, so it seems less pressing.

There is already some coverage for that in the kerberos test suite,
though it requires PG_TEST_EXTRA to be set as per its insecure nature.
This provides coverage in a default setup, as long as peer is supported
on the platform where its test is run.
