Forward to POSIX pread() and pwrite(), or emulate them if unavailable.
The emulation is not perfect as the file position is changed, so
we'll put pg_ prefixes on the names to minimize the risk of confusion
in future patches that might inadvertently try to mix pread() and read()
on the same file descriptor.

The "rb" prefix is used by Ruby, so that our existing code results
in name collisions that break plruby. We discussed ways to prevent
that by adjusting dynamic linker options, but it seems that at best
we'd move the pain to other cases. Renaming to avoid the collision
is the only portable fix anyway. Fortunately, our rbtree code is
not (yet?) widely used --- in core, there's only a single usage
in GIN --- so it seems likely that we can get away with a rename.
I chose to do this basically as s/rb/rbt/g, except for places where
there already was a "t" after "rb". The patch could have been made
smaller by only touching linker-visible symbols, but it would have
resulted in oddly inconsistent-looking code. Better to make it look
like "rbt" was the plan all along.
Back-patch to v10. The rbtree.c code exists back to 9.5, but
rb_iterate() which is the actual immediate source of pain was added
in v10, so it seems like changing the names before that would have
more risk than benefit.

I added HAVE_IPV6 to Makefile.global way back in commit 7703e55c3
so that we could transmit its value to the shell-script version of
initdb. Since initdb was rewritten in C, it's been finding that
out from pg_config.h instead, so this is useless. Keeping it here
just wastes configure and make cycles, plus it's a potential
two-sources-of-truth problem.
pg_promote uses nothing relying on a global state, so it is fine to mark
it as parallel-safe, conclusion based on a detailed analysis from Robert
Haas. This also fixes an inconsistency where pg_proc.dat missed to mark
the function with its previous value for proparallel, update which does
not matter now as the default is used.
Based on a discussion between multiple folks: Laurenz Albe, Robert Haas,
Amit Kapila, Tom Lane and myself.

I removed the item about the pg_stat_statements change from
release-11.sgml, as part of a sweep to delete items already committed

When a partition is created as part of a trigger processing, it is
possible that the partition which just gets created changes the
properties of the table the executor of the ongoing command relies on,
causing a subsequent crash. This has been found possible when for
example using a BEFORE INSERT which creates a new partition for a
partitioned table being inserted to.
Any attempt to do so is blocked when working on a partition, with
regression tests added for both CREATE TABLE PARTITION OF and ALTER
TABLE ATTACH PARTITION.

Modifying the parse tree at execution time is, or at least ought to be,

exec_stmt_call() tried to extract information out of a CALL statement's
argument list without using expand_function_arguments(), apparently in
the hope of saving a few nanoseconds by not processing defaulted
arguments. It got that quite wrong though, leading to crashes with
named arguments, as well as failure to enforce writability of the
argument for a defaulted INOUT parameter. Fix and simplify the logic
by using expand_function_arguments() before examining the list.
Also, move the argument-examination to just after producing the CALL
command's plan, before invoking the called procedure. This ensures
that we'll track possible changes in the procedure's argument list
correctly, and avoids a hazard of the plan cache being flushed while
the procedure executes.
Also fix assorted falsehoods and omissions in associated documentation.

Besides such instructions being unnecessary overhead, currently the

On Windows, in UTF8 database encoding, what char2wchar() produces is
UTF16 not UTF32, ie, characters above U+FFFF will be represented by
surrogate pairs. t_isdigit() and siblings did not account for this
and failed to provide a large enough result buffer. That in turn
led to bogus "invalid multibyte character for locale" errors, because
contrary to what you might think from char2wchar()'s documentation,
its Windows code path doesn't cope sanely with buffer overflow.
The solution for t_isdigit() and siblings is pretty clear: provide
a 3-wchar_t result buffer not 2.
char2wchar() also needs some work to provide more consistent, and more
accurately documented, buffer overrun behavior. But that's a bigger job
and it doesn't actually have any immediate payoff, so leave it for later.

As usual, the release notes for other branches will be made by cutting
these down, but put them up for community review first. Note that a
fair percentage of the entries apply only to prior branches because
their issue was already fixed in 11.0.
The solution arrived at in commit e74dd00f5 presumes that the compiler
has a suitable default -isysroot setting ... but further experience
shows that in many combinations of macOS version, XCode version, Xcode
command line tools version, and phase of the moon, Apple's compiler
will *not* supply a default -isysroot value.
We could potentially go back to the approach used in commit 68fc227dd,
but I don't have a lot of faith in the reliability or life expectancy of
that either. Let's just revert to the approach already shipped in 11.0,
namely specifying an -isysroot switch globally. As a partial response to
the concerns raised by Jakob Egger, adjust the contents of Makefile.global
to look like
CPPFLAGS = -isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT) ...
PG_SYSROOT = /path/to/sysroot
This allows overriding the sysroot path at build time in a relatively
painless way.
Add documentation to installation.sgml about how to use the PG_SYSROOT
option. I also took the opportunity to document how to work around
macOS's "System Integrity Protection" feature.
As before, back-patch to all supported versions.

When restoring slot information from disk at startup and filling in
shared memory information, the startup process would issue a PANIC
message if more slots are found than what max_replication_slots allows,
and then Postgres generates a core dump, recommending to increase
max_replication_slots. This gives users a switch to crash Postgres at
will by creating slots, lower the configuration to not support it, and
then restart it.
Making Postgres crash hard in this case is overdoing it just to give a
recommendation to users. So instead use a FATAL, which makes Postgres
fail to start without crashing, still giving the recommendation. This
is more consistent with what happens for prepared transactions for
example.

The project message style guide dictates: "When citing the name of an

patch added a worker number to most of the trace_sort messages within
tuplesort.c without specifying the object type. Bring these messages

We're still treating a leader or serial Tuplesortstate as having worker

highly comparable, so this seems appropriate.

Backpatch: 11-, where parallel CREATE INDEX was introduced.
Previously it was possible to create a slot, change wal_level, and
restart, even if the new wal_level was insufficient for the
slot. That's a problem for both logical and physical slots, because
the necessary WAL records are not generated.
This removes a few tests in newer versions that, somewhat
inexplicably, whether restarting with a too low wal_level worked (a
buggy behaviour!).

Backpatch: 9.4-, where replication slots where introduced
spgendscan neglected to pfree all the memory allocated by spgbeginscan.
It's possible to get away with that in most normal queries, since the
memory is allocated in the executor's per-query context which is about
to get deleted anyway; but it causes severe memory leakage during
creation or filling of large exclusion-constraint indexes.
Also, document that amendscan is supposed to free what ambeginscan
allocates. The docs' lack of clarity on that point probably caused this
bug to begin with. (There is discussion of changing that API spec going
forward, but I don't think it'd be appropriate for the back branches.)

so back-patch to all active branches.
In HEAD, also fix an independent leak caused by commit 2a6368343

This patch absorbs an upstream fix to "zic" for a recently-introduced
bug that made it output data that some 32-bit clients couldn't read.
Given the current source data, the bug only manifests in zones with
leap seconds, which we don't generate, so that there's no actual
change in our installed timezone data files from this. Still, in
case somebody uses our copy of "zic" to do something else, it seems
best to apply the fix promptly.
Also, update the README's notes about converting upstream code to
our conventions.
An array-type coercion appearing within a CASE that has a constant
(after const-folding) test expression was mangled by the planner, causing
all the elements of the resulting array to be equal to the coerced value
of the CASE's test expression. This is my oversight in commit c12d570fa:
that changed ArrayCoerceExpr to use a subexpression involving a
CaseTestExpr, and I didn't notice that eval_const_expressions needed an
adjustment to keep from folding such a CaseTestExpr to a constant when
it's inside a suitable CASE.
This is another in what's getting to be a depressingly long line of bugs
associated with misidentification of the referent of a CaseTestExpr.
We're overdue to redesign that mechanism; but any such fix is unlikely
to be back-patchable into v11. As a stopgap, fix eval_const_expressions
to do what it must here. Also add a bunch of comments pointing out the
restrictions and assumptions that are needed to make this work at all.
Also fix a related oversight: contain_context_dependent_node() was not
aware of the relationship of ArrayCoerceExpr to CaseTestExpr. That was
somewhat fail-soft, in that the outcome of a wrong answer would be to
prevent optimizations that could have been made, but let's fix it while
we're at it.
