61633f7904 Correct logical decoding restore behaviour for subtransactions.
Before initializing iteration over a subtransaction's changes, the last
few changes were not spilled to disk. That's correct if the transaction
didn't spill to disk, but otherwise... This bug can lead to missed or
misorderd subtransaction contents when they were spilled to disk.

Move spilling of the remaining in-memory changes to
ReorderBufferIterTXNInit(), where it can easily be applied to the top
transaction and, if present, subtransactions.

Since this code had too many bugs already, noticeably increase test
coverage.

6bc811c992 Show a sensible value in pg_settings.unit for GUC_UNIT_XSEGS variables.
Commit 88e982302 invented GUC_UNIT_XSEGS for min_wal_size and max_wal_size,
but neglected to make it display sensibly in pg_settings.unit (by adding a
case to the switch in GetConfigOptionByNum).  Fix that, and adjust said
switch to throw a run-time error the next time somebody forgets.

In passing, avoid using a static buffer for the output string --- the rest
of this function pstrdup's from a local buffer, and I see no very good
reason why the units code should do it differently and less safely.

Per report from Otar Shavadze.  Back-patch to 9.5 where the new unit type
was added.

814b9e9b8e Fix RLS with COPY (col1, col2) FROM tab
Attempting to COPY a subset of columns from a table with RLS enabled
would fail due to an invalid query being constructed (using a single
ColumnRef with the list of fields to exact in 'fields', but that's for
the different levels of an indirection for a single column, not for
specifying multiple columns).

Correct by building a ColumnRef and then RestTarget for each column
being requested and then adding those to the targetList for the select
query.  Include regression tests to hopefully catch if this is broken
again in the future.

e94568ecc1 Change the way pre-reading in external sort's merge phase works.
Don't pre-read tuples into SortTuple slots during merge. Instead, use the
memory for larger read buffers in logtape.c. We're doing the same number
of READTUP() calls either way, but managing the pre-read SortTuple slots
is much more complicated. Also, the on-tape representation is more compact
than SortTuples, so we can fit more pre-read tuples into the same amount
of memory this way. And we have better cache-locality, when we use just a
small number of SortTuple slots.

Now that we only hold one tuple from each tape in the SortTuple slots, we
can greatly simplify the "batch memory" management. We now maintain a
small set of fixed-sized slots, to hold the tuples, and fall back to
palloc() for larger tuples. We use this method during all merge phases,
not just the final merge, and also when randomAccess is requested, and
also in the TSS_SORTEDONTAPE case. In other words, it's used whenever we
do an external sort.

3b90e38c5d Do ClosePostmasterPorts() earlier in SubPostmasterMain().
In standard Unix builds, postmaster child processes do ClosePostmasterPorts
immediately after InitPostmasterChild, that is almost immediately after
being spawned.  This is important because we don't want children holding
open the postmaster's end of the postmaster death watch pipe.

However, in EXEC_BACKEND builds, SubPostmasterMain was postponing this
responsibility significantly, in order to make it slightly more convenient
to pass the right flag value to ClosePostmasterPorts.  This is bad,
particularly seeing that process_shared_preload_libraries() might invoke
nearly-arbitrary code.  Rearrange so that we do it as soon as we've
fetched the socket FDs via read_backend_variables().

Also move the comment explaining about randomize_va_space to before the
call of PGSharedMemoryReAttach, which is where it's relevant.  The old
placement was appropriate when the reattach happened inside
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores, but that was a long time ago.

Back-patch to 9.3; the patch doesn't apply cleanly before that, and
it doesn't seem worth a lot of effort given that we've had no actual
field complaints traceable to this.

83bed06be4 Rationalize format-picture caching logic in formatting.c.
Add a validity flag to DCHCacheEntry and NUMCacheEntry entries, and
do not set it true until after we've parsed the supplied format string.
This allows dealing with possible errors while parsing the format
without the baroque hack that was there before (which only covered
errors within NUMDesc_prepare, anyway).  We can get rid of the PG_TRY in
NUMDesc_prepare, as well as last_NUMCacheEntry and NUM_cache_remove.
(Essentially, this reverts commit ff783fbae in favor of a less fragile
solution; the problems with that approach are well illustrated by later
hacking such as 55f927a46.)

In passing, define the size of these caches as DCH_CACHE_ENTRIES not
DCH_CACHE_FIELDS + 1 (whoever thought that was a good definition?)
and likewise for the NUM cache.  Also const-ify format string parameters
where convenient, and merge duplicated cache lookup logic.

This is primarily driven by a proposed patch from Artur Zakirov,
which introduced some ereport's into format string parsing for
the datetime case.  He proposed preventing the creation of invalid
cache entries by parsing the format string first into a local-variable
array, and then copying that to a cache entry.  That seemed a bit
ugly to me, and anyway randomly different from the way the identical
problem had been solved for the numeric case.  Let's make the two
sets of code more similar not less so.

I'm not sure whether we'll adopt the new error conditions Artur proposes,
but this patch seems like good code cleanup and future-proofing in any
case.  The existing code is critically (and undocumented-ly) dependent on
no elog being thrown out of several nontrivial functions, which is trouble
waiting to happen, though it doesn't seem to be actively broken today.

d3cd36a133 Make to_timestamp() and to_date() range-check fields of their input.
Historically, something like to_date('2009-06-40','YYYY-MM-DD') would
return '2009-07-10' because there was no prohibition on out-of-range
month or day numbers.  This has been widely panned, and it also turns
out that Oracle throws an error in such cases.  Since these functions
are nominally Oracle-compatibility features, let's change that.

There's no particular restriction on year (modulo the fact that the
scanner may not believe that more than 4 digits are year digits,
a matter to be addressed separately if at all).  But we now check month,
day, hour, minute, second, and fractional-second fields, as well as
day-of-year and second-of-day fields if those are used.

Currently, no checks are made on ISO-8601-style week numbers or day
numbers; it's not very clear what the appropriate rules would be there,
and they're probably so little used that it's not worth sweating over.

72daabc7a3 Disallow pushing volatile quals past set-returning functions.
Pushing an upper-level restriction clause into an unflattened
subquery-in-FROM is okay when the subquery contains no SRFs in its
targetlist, or when it does but the SRFs are unreferenced by the clause
*and the clause is not volatile*.  Otherwise, we're changing the number
of times the clause is evaluated, which is bad for volatile quals, and
possibly changing the result, since a volatile qual might succeed for some
SRF output rows and not others despite not referencing any of the changing
columns.  (Indeed, if the clause is something like "random() > 0.5", the
user is probably expecting exactly that behavior.)

We had most of these restrictions down, but not the one about the upper
clause not being volatile.  Fix that, and add a regression test to
illustrate the expected behavior.

Although this is definitely a bug, it doesn't seem like back-patch
material, since possibly some users don't realize that the broken
behavior is broken and are relying on what happens now.  Also, while
the added test is quite cheap in the wake of commit a4c35ea1c, it would
be much more expensive (or else messier) in older branches.

fdc9186f7e Replace the built-in GIN array opclasses with a single polymorphic opclass.
We had thirty different GIN array opclasses sharing the same operators and
support functions.  That still didn't cover all the built-in types, nor
did it cover arrays of extension-added types.  What we want is a single
polymorphic opclass for "anyarray".  There were two missing features needed
to make this possible:

1. We have to be able to declare the index storage type as ANYELEMENT
when the opclass is declared to index ANYARRAY.  This just takes a few
more lines in index_create().  Although this currently seems of use only
for GIN, there's no reason to make index_create() restrict it to that.

2. We have to be able to identify the proper GIN compare function for
the index storage type.  This patch proceeds by making the compare function
optional in GIN opclass definitions, and specifying that the default btree
comparison function for the index storage type will be looked up when the
opclass omits it.  Again, that seems pretty generically useful.

Since the comparison function lookup is done in initGinState(), making
use of the second feature adds an additional cache lookup to GIN index
access setup.  It seems unlikely that that would be very noticeable given
the other costs involved, but maybe at some point we should consider
making GinState data persist longer than it now does --- we could keep it
in the index relcache entry, perhaps.

Rather fortuitously, we don't seem to need to do anything to get this
change to play nice with dump/reload or pg_upgrade scenarios: the new
opclass definition is automatically selected to replace existing index
definitions, and the on-disk data remains compatible.  Also, if a user has
created a custom opclass definition for a non-builtin type, this doesn't
break that, since CREATE INDEX will prefer an exact match to opcintype
over a match to ANYARRAY.  However, if there's anyone out there with
handwritten DDL that explicitly specifies _bool_ops or one of the other
replaced opclass names, they'll need to adjust that.

da6c4f6ca8 Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"

to establish a consistent naming pattern.  Also, avoid the use of the

seem desirable to change.  (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)

obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.

8e6b4ee21f Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success.
We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a

49a91b88e6 Avoid using PostmasterRandom() for DSM control segment ID.
Commits 470d886c3 et al intended to fix the problem that the postmaster
selected the same "random" DSM control segment ID on every start.  But
using PostmasterRandom() for that destroys the intended property that the
delay between random_start_time and random_stop_time will be unpredictable.
(Said delay is probably already more predictable than we could wish, but
that doesn't mean that reducing it by a couple orders of magnitude is OK.)
Revert the previous patch and add a comment warning against misuse of
PostmasterRandom.  Fix the original problem by calling srandom() early in
PostmasterMain, using a low-security seed that will later be overwritten
by PostmasterRandom.

Past refactorings have removed all but one reference to SizeOfIptrData
(and that one place was in a pretty noncritical spot).  Since nobody's
complained, it seems probable that there are no supported compilers
that don't think sizeof(ItemPointerData) is 6.  If there are, we're
wasting MAXALIGN per heap tuple anyway, so it's rather silly to worry
about whether we can shave space in places like WAL records.

96dd77d349 Be sure to rewind the tuplestore read pointer in non-leader CTEScan nodes.
ExecInitCteScan supposed that it didn't have to do anything to the extra
tuplestore read pointer it gets from tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.
However, it needs this read pointer to be positioned at the start of the
tuplestore, while tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer is actually defined as
cloning the current position of read pointer 0.  In normal situations
that accidentally works because we initialize the whole plan tree at once,
before anything gets read.  But it fails in an EvalPlanQual recheck, as
illustrated in bug #14328 from Dima Pavlov.  To fix, just forcibly rewind
the pointer after tuplestore_alloc_read_pointer.  The cost of doing so is
negligible unless the tuplestore is already in TSS_READFILE state, which
wouldn't happen in normal cases.  We could consider altering tuplestore's
API to make that case cheaper, but that would make for a more invasive
back-patch and it doesn't seem worth it.

This has been broken probably for as long as we've had CTEs, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

593d4e47db Support OpenSSL 1.1.0.
Changes needed to build at all:

- Check for SSL_new in configure, now that SSL_library_init is a macro.
- Do not access struct members directly. This includes some new code in
  pgcrypto, to use the resource owner mechanism to ensure that we don't
  leak OpenSSL handles, now that we can't embed them in other structs
  anymore.
- RAND_SSLeay() -> RAND_OpenSSL()

Changes that were needed to silence deprecation warnings, but were not
strictly necessary:

- RAND_pseudo_bytes() -> RAND_bytes().
- SSL_library_init() and OpenSSL_config() -> OPENSSL_init_ssl()
- ASN1_STRING_data() -> ASN1_STRING_get0_data()
- DH_generate_parameters() -> DH_generate_parameters()
- Locking callbacks are not needed with OpenSSL 1.1.0 anymore. (Good
  riddance!)

Also change references to SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER,
for the sake of consistency. OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has existed since time
immemorial.

Fix SSL test suite to work with OpenSSL 1.1.0. CA certificates must have
the "CA:true" basic constraint extension now, or OpenSSL will refuse them.
Regenerate the test certificates with that. The "openssl" binary, used to
generate the certificates, is also now more picky, and throws an error
if an X509 extension is specified in "req_extensions", but that section
is empty.

The money type input function did not have any overflow checks at all.
There were some regression tests that purported to check for overflow,
but they actually checked for the overflow behavior of the int8 type
before casting to money.  Remove those unnecessary checks and add some
that actually check the money input function.

55c3391d1e Be pickier about converting between Name and Datum.
We were misapplying NameGetDatum() to plain C strings in some places.
This worked, because it was just a pointer cast anyway, but it's a type
cheat in some sense.  Use CStringGetDatum instead, and modify the
NameGetDatum macro so it won't compile if applied to something that's
not a pointer to NameData.  This should result in no changes to
generated code, but it is logically cleaner.

a4c35ea1c2 Improve parser's and planner's handling of set-returning functions.
Teach the parser to reject misplaced set-returning functions during parse
analysis using p_expr_kind, in much the same way as we do for aggregates
and window functions (cf commit eaccfded9).  While this isn't complete
(it misses nesting-based restrictions), it's much better than the previous
error reporting for such cases, and it allows elimination of assorted
ad-hoc expression_returns_set() error checks.  We could add nesting checks
later if it seems important to catch all cases at parse time.

There is one case the parser will now throw error for although previous
versions allowed it, which is SRFs in the tlist of an UPDATE.  That never
behaved sensibly (since it's ill-defined which generated row should be
used to perform the update) and it's hard to see why it should not be
treated as an error.  It's a release-note-worthy change though.

Also, add a new Query field hasTargetSRFs reporting whether there are
any SRFs in the targetlist (including GROUP BY/ORDER BY expressions).
The parser can now set that basically for free during parse analysis,
and we can use it in a number of places to avoid expression_returns_set
searches.  (There will be more such checks soon.)  In some places, this
allows decontorting the logic since it's no longer expensive to check for
SRFs in the tlist --- so I made the checks parallel to the handling of
hasAggs/hasWindowFuncs wherever it seemed appropriate.

catversion bump because adding a Query field changes stored rules.

40b449ae84 Allow CREATE EXTENSION to follow extension update paths.
Previously, to update an extension you had to produce both a version-update
script and a new base installation script.  It's become more and more
obvious that that's tedious, duplicative, and error-prone.  This patch
attempts to improve matters by allowing the new base installation script
to be omitted.  CREATE EXTENSION will install a requested version if it
can find a base script and a chain of update scripts that will get there.
As in the existing update logic, shorter chains are preferred if there's
more than one possibility, with an arbitrary tie-break rule for chains
of equal length.

Also adjust the pg_available_extension_versions view to show such versions
as installable.

While at it, refactor the code so that CASCADE processing works for
extensions requested during ApplyExtensionUpdates().  Without this,
addition of a new requirement in an updated extension would require
creating a new base script, even if there was no other reason to do that.
(It would be easy at this point to add a CASCADE option to ALTER EXTENSION
UPDATE, to allow the same thing to happen during a manually-commanded
version update, but I have not done that here.)

24598337c8 Implement binary heap replace-top operation in a smarter way.
In external sort's merge phase, we maintain a binary heap holding the next
tuple from each input tape. On each step, the topmost tuple is returned,
and replaced with the next tuple from the same tape. We were doing the
replacement by deleting the top node in one operation, and inserting the
next tuple after that. However, you can do a "replace-top" operation more
efficiently, in one "sift-up". A deletion will always walk the heap from
top to bottom, but in a replacement, we can stop as soon as we find the
right place for the new tuple. This is particularly helpful, if the tapes
are not in completely random order, so that the next tuple from a tape is
likely to land near the top of the heap.

ddc8893179 Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().
Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a
null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null.
This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because
backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble
waiting to happen.  Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further,
changing the logic to

	local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend);
	if (!local_beentry)
		continue;
	beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus;
	if (!beentry)
	{

where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of
printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur.

I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry
will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still
very poor coding.  Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was
introduced.

b1328d78f8 Invent PageIndexTupleOverwrite, and teach BRIN and GiST to use it.
PageIndexTupleOverwrite performs approximately the same function as
PageIndexTupleDelete (or PageIndexDeleteNoCompact) followed by PageAddItem
targeting the same item pointer offset.  But in the case where the new
tuple is the same size as the old, it avoids shuffling other data around on
the page, because the new tuple is placed where the old one was rather than
being appended to the end of the page.  This has been shown to provide a
substantial speedup for some GiST use-cases.

Also, this change allows some API simplifications: we can get rid of
the rather klugy and error-prone PAI_ALLOW_FAR_OFFSET flag for
PageAddItemExtended, since that was used only to cover a corner case
for BRIN that's better expressed by using PageIndexTupleOverwrite.

Note that this patch causes a rather subtle WAL incompatibility: the
physical page content change represented by certain WAL records is now
different than it was before, because while the tuples have the same
itempointer line numbers, the tuples themselves are in different places.
I have not bumped the WAL version number because I think it doesn't matter
unless you are trying to do bitwise comparisons of original and replayed
pages, and in any case we're early in a devel cycle and there will probably
be more WAL changes before v10 gets out the door.

There is probably room to make use of PageIndexTupleOverwrite in SP-GiST
and GIN too, but that is left for a future patch.

5c609a742f Fix locking a tuple updated by an aborted (sub)transaction
When heap_lock_tuple decides to follow the update chain, it tried to
also lock any version of the tuple that was created by an update that
was subsequently rolled back.  This is pointless, since for all intents
and purposes that tuple exists no more; and moreover it causes
misbehavior, as reported independently by Marko Tiikkaja and Marti
Raudsepp: some SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries may fail to return
the tuples, and assertion-enabled builds crash.

Fix by having heap_lock_updated_tuple test the xmin and return success
immediately if the tuple was created by an aborted transaction.

The condition where tuples become invisible occurs when an updated tuple
chain is followed by heap_lock_updated_tuple, which reports the problem
as HeapTupleSelfUpdated to its caller heap_lock_tuple, which in turn
propagates that code outwards possibly leading the calling code
(ExecLockRows) to believe that the tuple exists no longer.

Backpatch to 9.3.  Only on 9.5 and newer this leads to a visible
failure, because of commit 27846f02c176; before that, heap_lock_tuple
skips the whole dance when the tuple is already locked by the same
transaction, because of the ancient HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate behavior.
Still, the buggy condition may also exist in more convoluted scenarios
involving concurrent transactions, so it seems safer to fix the bug in
the old branches too.

984d0a14e8 In PageIndexTupleDelete, don't assume stored item lengths are MAXALIGNed.
PageAddItem stores the item length as-is.  It MAXALIGN's the amount of
space actually allocated for each tuple, but not the stored length.
PageRepairFragmentation, PageIndexMultiDelete, and PageIndexDeleteNoCompact
are all on board with this and MAXALIGN item lengths after fetching them.
But PageIndexTupleDelete expects the stored length to be a MAXALIGN
multiple already.  This accidentally works for existing index AMs because
they all maxalign their tuple sizes internally; but we don't do that for
heap tuples, and it shouldn't be a requirement for index tuples either.

So, sync PageIndexTupleDelete with the rest of bufpage.c by having it
maxalign the item size after fetching.

Also add a check that pd_special is maxaligned, to ensure that the test
"(offset + size) > phdr->pd_special" is still doing the right thing.
(If offset and pd_special are aligned, it doesn't matter whether size is.)
Again, this is in sync with the rest of the routines here, except for
PageAddItem which doesn't test because it doesn't actually do anything
for which pd_special alignment matters.

This shouldn't have any immediate functional impact; it just adds the
flexibility to use PageIndexTupleDelete on index tuples with non-aligned
lengths.

967a7b0fc9 Avoid reporting "cache lookup failed" for some user-reachable cases.
We have a not-terribly-thoroughly-enforced-yet project policy that internal
errors with SQLSTATE XX000 (ie, plain elog) should not be triggerable from
SQL.  record_in, domain_in, and PL validator functions all failed to meet
this standard, because they threw plain elog("cache lookup failed for XXX")
errors on bad OIDs, and those are all invokable from SQL.

For record_in, the best fix is to upgrade typcache.c (lookup_type_cache)
to throw a user-facing error for this case.  That seems consistent because
it was more than halfway there already, having user-facing errors for shell
types and non-composite types.  Having done that, tweak domain_in to rely
on the typcache to throw an appropriate error.  (This costs little because
InitDomainConstraintRef would fetch the typcache entry anyway.)

For the PL validator functions, we already have a single choke point at
CheckFunctionValidatorAccess, so just fix its error to be user-facing.

c54159d44c Make locale-dependent regex character classes work for large char codes.
Previously, we failed to recognize Unicode characters above U+7FF as
being members of locale-dependent character classes such as [[:alpha:]].
(Actually, the same problem occurs for large pg_wchar values in any
multibyte encoding, but UTF8 is the only case people have actually
complained about.)  It's impractical to get Spencer's original code to
handle character classes or ranges containing many thousands of characters,
because it insists on considering each member character individually at
regex compile time, whether or not the character will ever be of interest
at run time.  To fix, choose a cutoff point MAX_SIMPLE_CHR below which
we process characters individually as before, and deal with entire ranges
or classes as single entities above that.  We can actually make things
cheaper than before for chars below the cutoff, because the color map can
now be a simple linear array for those chars, rather than the multilevel
tree structure Spencer designed.  It's more expensive than before for
chars above the cutoff, because we must do a binary search in a list of
high chars and char ranges used in the regex pattern, plus call iswalpha()
and friends for each locale-dependent character class used in the pattern.
However, multibyte encodings are normally designed to give smaller codes
to popular characters, so that we can expect that the slow path will be
taken relatively infrequently.  In any case, the speed penalty appears
minor except when we have to apply iswalpha() etc. to high character codes
at runtime --- and the previous coding gave wrong answers for those cases,
so whether it was faster is moot.

15bc038f9b Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE.
To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep
uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we
can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction.

Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE
from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target
enum type had been created in the current transaction.  This patch
removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum
value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created
in the same transaction as the value.  Per discussion, this should be
a bit less onerous.  It does require each function that could possibly
return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction,
but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

d851bef2d6 Dirty replication slots when using sql interface
When pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) sets confirmed_flush_lsn to the point at
which replay stopped, it doesn't dirty the replication slot.  So if the replay
didn't cause restart_lsn or catalog_xmin to change as well, this change will
not get written out to disk. Even on a clean shutdown.

If Pg crashes or restarts, a subsequent pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) call
will see the same changes already replayed since it uses the slot's
confirmed_flush_lsn as the start point for fetching changes. The caller can't
specify a start LSN when using the SQL interface.

Mark the slot as dirty after reading changes using the SQL interface so that
users won't see repeated changes after a clean shutdown. Repeated changes still
occur when using the walsender interface or after an unclean shutdown.

computeLeafRecompressWALData() tried to produce a uint16 WAL log field by

first two bytes of the first TID therein as the next segno/action,
typically leading to "unexpected GIN leaf action" errors during replay.
Even if replay failed to crash, the resulting GIN index page would surely
be incorrect.  To fix, just declare the variable as uint16 instead.

39b691f251 Don't require dynamic timezone abbreviations to match underlying time zone.
Previously, we threw an error if a dynamic timezone abbreviation did not
match any abbreviation recorded in the referenced IANA time zone entry.
That seemed like a good consistency check at the time, but it turns out
that a number of the abbreviations in the IANA database are things that
Olson and crew made up out of whole cloth.  Their current policy is to
remove such names in favor of using simple numeric offsets.  Perhaps
unsurprisingly, a lot of these made-up abbreviations have varied in meaning
over time, which meant that our commit b2cbced9e and later changes made
them into dynamic abbreviations.  So with newer IANA database versions
that don't mention these abbreviations at all, we fail, as reported in bug
#14307 from Neil Anderson.  It's worse than just a few unused-in-the-wild
abbreviations not working, because the pg_timezone_abbrevs view stops
working altogether (since its underlying function tries to compute the
whole view result in one call).

We considered deleting these abbreviations from our abbreviations list, but
the problem with that is that we can't stay ahead of possible future IANA
changes.  Instead, let's leave the abbreviations list alone, and treat any
"orphaned" dynamic abbreviation as just meaning the referenced time zone.
It will behave a bit differently than it used to, in that you can't any
longer override the zone's standard vs. daylight rule by using the "wrong"
abbreviation of a pair, but that's better than failing entirely.  (Also,
this solution can be interpreted as adding a small new feature, which is
that any abbreviation a user wants can be defined as referencing a time
zone name.)

Back-patch to all supported branches, since this problem affects all
of them when using tzdata 2016f or newer.

ec136d19b2 Move code shared between libpq and backend from backend/libpq/ to common/.
When building libpq, ip.c and md5.c were symlinked or copied from
src/backend/libpq into src/interfaces/libpq, but now that we have a
directory specifically for routines that are shared between the server and
client binaries, src/common/, move them there.

Some routines in ip.c were only used in the backend. Keep those in
src/backend/libpq, but rename to ifaddr.c to avoid confusion with the file
that's now in common.

Fix the comment in src/common/Makefile to reflect how libpq actually links
those files.

There are two more files that libpq symlinks directly from src/backend:
encnames.c and wchar.c. I don't feel compelled to move those right now,
though.

9cca11c915 Speed up SUM calculation in numeric aggregates.
This introduces a numeric sum accumulator, which performs better than
repeatedly calling add_var(). The performance comes from using wider digits
and delaying carry propagation, tallying positive and negative values
separately, and avoiding a round of palloc/pfree on every value. This
speeds up SUM(), as well as other standard aggregates like AVG() and
STDDEV() that also calculate a sum internally.

6c03d981a6 Change API of ShmemAlloc() so it throws error rather than returning NULL.
A majority of callers seem to have believed that this was the API spec
already, because they omitted any check for a NULL result, and hence
would crash on an out-of-shared-memory failure.  The original proposal
was to just add such error checks everywhere, but that does nothing to
prevent similar omissions in future.  Instead, let's make ShmemAlloc()
throw the error (so we can remove the caller-side checks that do exist),
and introduce a new function ShmemAllocNoError() that has the previous
behavior of returning NULL, for the small number of callers that need
that and are prepared to do the right thing.  This also lets us remove
the rather wishy-washy behavior of printing a WARNING for out-of-shmem,
which never made much sense: either the caller has a strategy for
dealing with that, or it doesn't.  It's not ShmemAlloc's business to
decide whether a warning is appropriate.

The v10 release notes will need to call this out as a significant
source-code change.  It's likely that it will be a bug fix for
extension callers too, but if not, they'll need to change to using
ShmemAllocNoError().

This is nominally a bug fix, but the odds that it's fixing any live
bug are actually rather small, because in general the requests
being made by the unchecked callers were already accounted for in
determining the overall shmem size, so really they ought not fail.
Between that and the possible impact on extensions, no back-patch.

65a588b4c3 Try to fix portability issue in enum renumbering (again).
The hack embodied in commit 4ba61a487 no longer works after today's change
to allow DatumGetFloat4/Float4GetDatum to be inlined (commit 14cca1bf8).
Probably what's happening is that the faulty compilers are deciding that
the now-inlined assignment is a no-op and so they're not required to
round to float4 width.

We had a bunch of similar issues earlier this year in the degree-based
trig functions, and eventually settled on using volatile intermediate
variables as the least ugly method of forcing recalcitrant compilers
to do what the C standard says (cf commit 82311bcdd).  Let's see if
that method works here.

14cca1bf8e Use static inline functions for float <-> Datum conversions.
Now that we are OK with using static inline functions, we can use them
to avoid function call overhead of pass-by-val versions of Float4GetDatum,
DatumGetFloat8, and Float8GetDatum. Those functions are only a few CPU
instructions long, but they could not be written into macros previously,
because we need a local union variable for the conversion.

I kept the pass-by-ref versions as regular functions. They are very simple
too, but they call palloc() anyway, so shaving a few instructions from the
function call doesn't seem so important there.

ea268cdc9a Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.
I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls
had typos in the context-sizing parameters.  While none of these led to
especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies,
and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls
accurately is not a great idea.  Let's reduce the risk of future errors
by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases.
Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts;
those two calls can be left as-is, I think.

While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party
extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can
gradually adopt the simplified notation over time.

In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation
parameters.  Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time.  That was
probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create
many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a
couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various
dubious code that sticks other things there.  There seems no good reason
not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts.

Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that
it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to
avoid some future back-patching pain.  The bugs fixed by these changes
don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back.

26fa446da6 Add a nonlocalized version of the severity field to client error messages.
This has been requested a few times, but the use-case for it was never
entirely clear.  The reason for adding it now is that transmission of
error reports from parallel workers fails when NLS is active, because
pq_parse_errornotice() wrongly assumes that the existing severity field
is nonlocalized.  There are other ways we could have fixed that, but the
other options were basically kluges, whereas this way provides something
that's at least arguably a useful feature along with the bug fix.

Per report from Jakob Egger.  Back-patch into 9.6, because otherwise
parallel query is essentially unusable in non-English locales.  The
problem exists in 9.5 as well, but we don't want to risk changing
on-the-wire behavior in 9.5 (even though the possibility of new error
fields is specifically called out in the protocol document).  It may
be sufficient to leave the issue unfixed in 9.5, given the very limited
usefulness of pq_parse_errornotice in that version.

78dcd027e8 Fix potential memory leakage from HandleParallelMessages().
HandleParallelMessages leaked memory into the caller's context.  Since it's
called from ProcessInterrupts, there is basically zero certainty as to what
CurrentMemoryContext is, which means we could be leaking into long-lived
contexts.  Over the processing of many worker messages that would grow to
be a problem.  Things could be even worse than just a leak, if we happened
to service the interrupt while ErrorContext is current: elog.c thinks it
can reset that on its own whim, possibly yanking storage out from under
HandleParallelMessages.

Give HandleParallelMessages its own dedicated context instead, which we can
reset during each call to ensure there's no accumulation of wasted memory.

okay if the Params are in upper tlist or qual expressions; but if one
appears in aggregate input expressions, then the hashtable contents need
to be recomputed when the Param's value changes.

To avoid unnecessary performance degradation in the case of a Param that
isn't within an aggregate input, add logic to the planner to determine
which Params are within aggregate inputs.  This requires a new field in
struct Agg, but fortunately we never write plans to disk, so this isn't

d2ddee63b4 Improve SP-GiST opclass API to better support unlabeled nodes.
Previously, the spgSplitTuple action could only create a new upper tuple
containing a single labeled node.  This made it useless for opclasses
that prefer to work with fixed sets of nodes (labeled or otherwise),
which meant that restrictive prefixes could not be used with such
node definitions.  Change the output field set for the choose() method
to allow it to specify any valid node set for the new upper tuple,
and to specify which of these nodes to place the modified lower tuple in.

In addition to its primary use for fixed node sets, this feature could
allow existing opclasses that use variable node sets to skip a separate
spgAddNode action when splitting a tuple, by setting up the node needed
for the incoming value as part of the spgSplitTuple action.  However, care
would have to be taken to add the extra node only when it would not make
the tuple bigger than before.  (spgAddNode can enlarge the tuple,
spgSplitTuple can't.)

This is a prerequisite for an upcoming SP-GiST inet opclass, but is
being committed separately to increase the visibility of the API change.

In passing, improve the documentation about the traverse-values feature
that was added by commit ccd6eb49a.

that distinguished the "celt" typedef from the "chr" typedef was that
"celt" was supposed to also be able to hold the not-a-character "NOCELT"
value.  However, NOCELT was not used anywhere after the MCCE stub removal
changes, which means there's no need for celt to be different from chr.
Removing the separate typedef simplifies matters and also removes a trap
for the unwary, in that celt is signed while chr may not be, so comparisons
could mean different things.  There's no bug there today because we
restrict CHR_MAX to be less than INT_MAX, but I think there may have been
such bugs before we did that, and there could be again if anyone ever
decides to fool with the range of chr.

This patch also removes assorted unnecessary casts to "chr" of values
that are already chrs.  Many of these seem to be leftover from days when
the code was compatible with pre-ANSI C.

fa878703f4 Refactor RandomSalt to handle salts of different lengths.
All we need is 4 bytes at the moment, for MD5 authentication. But in
upcomint patches for SCRAM authentication, SCRAM will need a salt of
different length. It's less scary for the caller to pass the buffer
length anyway, than assume a certain-sized output buffer.

07ef035129 Fix deletion of speculatively inserted TOAST on conflict
INSERT ..  ON CONFLICT runs a pre-check of the possible conflicting
constraints before performing the actual speculative insertion.  In case
the inserted tuple included TOASTed columns the ON CONFLICT condition
would be handled correctly in case the conflict was caught by the
pre-check, but if two transactions entered the speculative insertion
phase at the same time, one would have to re-try, and the code for
aborting a speculative insertion did not handle deleting the
speculatively inserted TOAST datums correctly.

TOAST deletion would fail with "ERROR: attempted to delete invisible
tuple" as we attempted to remove the TOAST tuples using
simple_heap_delete which reasoned that the given tuples should not be
visible to the command that wrote them.

This commit updates the heap_abort_speculative() function which aborts
the conflicting tuple to use itself, via toast_delete, for deleting
associated TOAST datums.  Like before, the inserted toast rows are not
marked as being speculative.

This commit also adds a isolationtester spec test, exercising the
relevant code path. Unfortunately 9.5 cannot handle two waiting
sessions, and thus cannot execute this test.

cf9b0fea5f Implement regexp_match(), a simplified alternative to regexp_matches().
regexp_match() is like regexp_matches(), but it disallows the 'g' flag
and in consequence does not need to return a set.  Instead, it returns
a simple text array value, or NULL if there's no match.  Previously people
usually got that behavior with a sub-select, but this way is considerably
more efficient.

Documentation adjusted so that regexp_match() is presented first and then
regexp_matches() is introduced as a more complicated version.  This is
a bit historically revisionist but seems pedagogically better.

Still TODO: extend contrib/citext to support this function.

7f61fd10ce Fix assorted places in psql to print version numbers >= 10 in new style.
This is somewhat cosmetic, since as long as you know what you are looking
at, "10.0" is a serviceable substitute for "10".  But there is a potential
for confusion between version numbers with minor numbers and those without
--- we don't want people asking "why is psql saying 10.0 when my server is
10.2".  Therefore, back-patch as far as practical, which turns out to be
9.3.  I could have redone the patch to use fprintf(stderr) in place of
psql_error(), but it seems more work than is warranted for branches that
will be EOL or nearly so by the time v10 comes out.

Although only psql seems to contain any code that needs this, I chose
to put the support function into fe_utils, since it seems likely we'll
need it in other client programs in future.  (In 9.3-9.5, use dumputils.c,
the predecessor of fe_utils/string_utils.c.)

In HEAD, also fix the backend code that whines about loadable-library
version mismatch.  I don't see much need to back-patch that.

9389fbd038 Remove bogus dependencies on NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION.
NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision
and scale you can write in a numeric typmod.  It might once have had
something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value,
but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed,
any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format;
which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000.

Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit
on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input.  That was
especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as
long as you don't use 'e' to do it.  Just constrain the value enough to
avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what
is too large.  Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code.

Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the
number of base-NBASE digits it would accept.  That created a dump/restore
hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format
limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want.

In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what
the numeric range limit is.  That code doesn't exist in the back branches.

Per gripe from Aravind Kumar.  Back-patch to all supported branches,
since they all contain the documentation claim about allowed range of
NUMERIC (cf commit cabf5d84b).

ed0097e4f9 Add SQL-accessible functions for inspecting index AM properties.
Per discussion, we should provide such functions to replace the lost
ability to discover AM properties by inspecting pg_am (cf commit
65c5fcd35).  The added functionality is also meant to displace any code
that was looking directly at pg_index.indoption, since we'd rather not
believe that the bit meanings in that field are part of any client API
contract.

As future-proofing, define the SQL API to not assume that properties that
are currently AM-wide or index-wide will remain so unless they logically
must be; instead, expose them only when inquiring about a specific index
or even specific index column.  Also provide the ability for an index
AM to override the behavior.

In passing, document pg_am.amtype, overlooked in commit 473b93287.

9a46324fd4 Fix several one-byte buffer over-reads in to_number
Several places in NUM_numpart_from_char(), which is called from the SQL
function to_number(text, text), could accidentally read one byte past
the end of the input buffer (which comes from the input text datum and
is not null-terminated).

1. One leading space character would be skipped, but there was no check
   that the input was at least one byte long.  This does not happen in
   practice, but for defensiveness, add a check anyway.

2. Commit 4a3a1e2cf apparently accidentally doubled that code that skips
   one space character (so that two spaces might be skipped), but there
   was no overflow check before skipping the second byte.  Fix by
   removing that duplicate code.

3. A logic error would allow a one-byte over-read when looking for a
   trailing sign (S) placeholder.

In each case, the extra byte cannot be read out directly, but looking at
it might cause a crash.

f0c7b789ab Fix two errors with nested CASE/WHEN constructs.
ExecEvalCase() tried to save a cycle or two by passing
&econtext->caseValue_isNull as the isNull argument to its sub-evaluation of
the CASE value expression.  If that subexpression itself contained a CASE,
then *isNull was an alias for econtext->caseValue_isNull within the
recursive call of ExecEvalCase(), leading to confusion about whether the
inner call's caseValue was null or not.  In the worst case this could lead
to a core dump due to dereferencing a null pointer.  Fix by not assigning
to the global variable until control comes back from the subexpression.
Also, avoid using the passed-in isNull pointer transiently for evaluation
of WHEN expressions.  (Either one of these changes would have been
sufficient to fix the known misbehavior, but it's clear now that each of
these choices was in itself dangerous coding practice and best avoided.
There do not seem to be any similar hazards elsewhere in execQual.c.)

Also, it was possible for inlining of a SQL function that implements the
equality operator used for a CASE comparison to result in one CASE
expression's CaseTestExpr node being inserted inside another CASE
expression.  This would certainly result in wrong answers since the
improperly nested CaseTestExpr would be caused to return the inner CASE's
comparison value not the outer's.  If the CASE values were of different
data types, a crash might result; moreover such situations could be abused
to allow disclosure of portions of server memory.  To fix, teach
inline_function to check for "bare" CaseTestExpr nodes in the arguments of
a function to be inlined, and avoid inlining if there are any.

95bee941be Fix misestimation of n_distinct for a nearly-unique column with many nulls.
If ANALYZE found no repeated non-null entries in its sample, it set the
column's stadistinct value to -1.0, intending to indicate that the entries
are all distinct.  But what this value actually means is that the number
of distinct values is 100% of the table's rowcount, and thus it was
overestimating the number of distinct values by however many nulls there
are.  This could lead to very poor selectivity estimates, as for example
in a recent report from Andreas Joseph Krogh.  We should discount the
stadistinct value by whatever we've estimated the nulls fraction to be.
(That is what will happen if we choose to use a negative stadistinct for
a column that does have repeated entries, so this code path was just
inconsistent.)

In addition to fixing the stadistinct entries stored by several different
ANALYZE code paths, adjust the logic where get_variable_numdistinct()
forces an "all distinct" estimate on the basis of finding a relevant unique
index.  Unique indexes don't reject nulls, so there's no reason to assume
that the null fraction doesn't apply.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  Back-patching is a bit of a judgment
call, but this problem seems to affect only a few users (else we'd have
identified it long ago), and it's bad enough when it does happen that
destabilizing plan choices in a worse direction seems unlikely.

9ee1cf04ab Fix TOAST access failure in RETURNING queries.
Discussion of commit 3e2f3c2e4 exposed a problem that is of longer
standing: since we don't detoast data while sticking it into a portal's
holdStore for PORTAL_ONE_RETURNING and PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT queries, and we
release the query's snapshot as soon as we're done loading the holdStore,
later readout of the holdStore can do TOAST fetches against data that can
no longer be seen by any of the session's live snapshots.  This means that
a concurrent VACUUM could remove the TOAST data before we can fetch it.
Commit 3e2f3c2e4 exposed the problem by showing that sometimes we had *no*
live snapshots while fetching TOAST data, but we'd be at risk anyway.

I believe this code was all right when written, because our management of a
session's exposed xmin was such that the TOAST references were safe until
end of transaction.  But that's no longer true now that we can advance or
clear our PGXACT.xmin intra-transaction.

To fix, copy the query's snapshot during FillPortalStore() and save it in
the Portal; release it only when the portal is dropped.  This essentially
implements a policy that we must hold a relevant snapshot whenever we
access potentially-toasted data.  We had already come to that conclusion
in other places, cf commits 08e261cbc9 and ec543db77b.

I'd have liked to add a regression test case for this, but I didn't see
a way to make one that's not unreasonably bloated; it seems to require
returning a toasted value to the client, and those will be big.

In passing, improve PortalRunUtility() so that it positively verifies
that its ending PopActiveSnapshot() call will pop the expected snapshot,
removing a rather shaky assumption about which utility commands might
do their own PopActiveSnapshot().  There's no known bug here, but now
that we're actively referencing the snapshot it's almost free to make
this code a bit more bulletproof.

We might want to consider back-patching something like this into older
branches, but it would be prudent to let it prove itself more in HEAD
beforehand.

e89526d4f3 In B-tree page deletion, clean up properly after page deletion failure.
In _bt_unlink_halfdead_page(), we might fail to find an immediate left
sibling of the target page, perhaps because of corruption of the page
sibling links.  The code intends to cope with this by just abandoning
the deletion attempt; but what actually happens is that it fails outright
due to releasing the same buffer lock twice.  (And error recovery masks
a second problem, which is possible leakage of a pin on another page.)
Seems to have been introduced by careless refactoring in commit efada2b8e.
Since there are multiple cases to consider, let's make releasing the buffer
lock in the failure case the responsibility of _bt_unlink_halfdead_page()
not its caller.

Also, avoid fetching the leaf page's left-link again after we've dropped
lock on the page.  This is probably harmless, but it's not exactly good
coding practice.

e7caacf733 Fix hard to hit race condition in heapam's tuple locking code.
As mentioned in its commit message, eca0f1db left open a race condition,
where a page could be marked all-visible, after the code checked
PageIsAllVisible() to pin the VM, but before the page is locked.  Plug
that hole.
