Since hash indexes typically have very few overflow pages, adding a
new splitpoint essentially doubles the on-disk size of the index,
which can lead to large and abrupt increases in disk usage (and
perhaps long delays on occasion). To mitigate this problem to some
degree, divide larger splitpoints into four equal phases. This means
that, for example, instead of growing from 4GB to 8GB all at once, a
hash index will now grow from 4GB to 5GB to 6GB to 7GB to 8GB, which
is perhaps still not as smooth as we'd like but certainly an
improvement.
This changes the on-disk format of the metapage, so bump HASH_VERSION
from 2 to 3. This will force a REINDEX of all existing hash indexes,
but that's probably a good idea anyway. First, hash indexes from
pre-10 versions of PostgreSQL could easily be corrupted, and we don't
want to confuse corruption carried over from an older release with any
corruption caused despite the new write-ahead logging in v10. Second,
it will let us remove some backward-compatibility code added by commit
293e24e507.

Currently, the only type of child relation is an "other member rel",
which is the child of a baserel, but in the future joins and even
upper relations may have child rels. To facilitate that, introduce
macros that test to test for particular RelOptKind values, and use
them in various places where they help to clarify the sense of a test.
(For example, a test may allow RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL either because
it intends to allow child rels, or because it intends to allow simple
rels.)
Also, remove find_childrel_top_parent, which will not work for a
child rel that is not a baserel. Instead, add a new RelOptInfo
member top_parent_relids to track the same kind of information in a
more generic manner.

A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of
objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through
execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a
collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which
can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the
catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but
provision is made to add more types fairly easily.
An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the
catalogs by relid.
Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience
functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code
run through SPI.
The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in
AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate
commit.
An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative
error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE
from a referencing DML statement. No tests previously covered that
possibility, so one is added.

This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with
non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation.
Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation.
This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes
future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier.
The speed gains primarily come from:
- non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead
- simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without
function calls
- sharing some state between different sub-expressions
- reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying
out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of
nearly all of the previously used linked lists
- more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding
constant re-checks at evaluation time
Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as
demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later
release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split
between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be
handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the
generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can
easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation.
The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.:
- basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup
overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared
statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where
initialization overhead is measurable.
- optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential
work has already been made.
- optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have
been made here too.
The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some
backward-incompatible changes:
- Function permission checks are now done during expression
initialization, whereas previously they were done during
execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that
previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a
different array type previously didn't perform checks.
- The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once
during expression initialization, previously it was re-built
every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this
doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches
ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior
around might still change.

Previously, it was unsafe to execute a plan in parallel if
ExecutorRun() might be called with a non-zero row count. However,
it's quite easy to fix things up so that we can support that case,
provided that it is known that we will never call ExecutorRun() a
second time for the same QueryDesc. Add infrastructure to signal
this, and cross-checks to make sure that a caller who claims this is
true doesn't later reneg.
While that pattern never happens with queries received directly from a
client -- there's no way to know whether multiple Execute messages
will be sent unless the first one requests all the rows -- it's pretty
common for queries originating from procedural languages, which often
limit the result to a single tuple or to a user-specified number of
tuples.
This commit doesn't actually enable parallelism in any additional
cases, because currently none of the places that would be able to
benefit from this infrastructure pass CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in the
first place, but it makes it much more palatable to pass
CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in places where we currently don't, because it
eliminates some cases where we'd end up having to run the parallel
plan serially.

This adds in support for EUI-64 MAC addresses by adding a new data type

support for converting a provided EUI-48 (6 byte format) to the EUI-64
format. Conversion from EUI-48 to EUI-64 inserts FFFE as the 4th and
5th bytes but does not perform the IPv6 modified EUI-64 action of

This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the
previous commit. Specific decisions:
- Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as
prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt
maintainers of non-core text search code will notice.
- Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the
same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the
function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an
exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return
values of SendFunctionCall().
- Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large
for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do
not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment.
- For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in
memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside
GBT_VARKEY, on disk.
- For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They
incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple
credible implementation strategies to consider.
Detect fclose() failures; given "ln -s /dev/full $PGDATA/devfull",
"pg_file_write('devfull', 'x', true)" now fails as it should. Don't
leak a stream when fwrite() fails. Remove a born-ineffective test that
aimed to skip zero-length writes. Back-patch to 9.2 (all supported
versions).
In functions that issue a deconstruct_array() call, consistently use
plain VARSIZE()/VARDATA() on the array elements. Prior practice was
divided between those and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR()/VARDATA_ANY().
Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros.
I think I've now gotten all the hard-coded references in C code.

XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows
turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used
as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query.
This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance
benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom
implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms
using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds
using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using
XMLReader under PL/Python).
The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard
requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is
optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we
make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't
currently support a default namespace to be specified.
This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded
method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility
in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of
this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)

adding more SASL mechanisms in the future, without changing the overall

Support for channel binding, aka SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS is left for later.

The logic for removing excess trigrams from the result was faulty.
It intends to avoid merging the initial and final states of the NFA,
which is necessary, but in testing whether removal of a specific trigram
would cause that, it failed to consider the combined effects of all the
state merges that that trigram's removal would cause. This could result
in a broken final graph that would never match anything, leading to GIN
or GiST indexscans not finding anything.
To fix, add a "tentParent" field that is used only within this loop,
and set it to show state merges that we are tentatively going to do.
While examining a particular arc, we must chase up through tentParent
links as well as regular parent links (the former can only appear atop
the latter), and we must account for state init/fin flag merges that
haven't actually been done yet.
To simplify the latter, combine the separate init and fin bool fields
into a bitmap flags field. I also chose to get rid of the "children"
state list, which seems entirely inessential.

or bitmap page by looking at the metapage, so that using this on
large numbers of pages can be reasonably efficient.
Ashutosh Sharma, per a complaint from me, and with further
modifications by me.
It's always been possible for index AMs to cache data across successive
amgettuple calls within a single SQL command: the IndexScanDesc.opaque
field is meant for precisely that. However, no comparable facility
exists for amortizing setup work across successive aminsert calls.
This patch adds such a feature and teaches GIN, GIST, and BRIN to use it
to amortize catalog lookups they'd previously been doing on every call.
(The other standard index AMs keep everything they need in the relcache,
so there's little to improve there.)
For GIN, the overall improvement in a statement that inserts many rows
can be as much as 10%, though it seems a bit less for the other two.
In addition, this makes a really significant difference in runtime
for CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests, since in those builds the repeated
catalog lookups are vastly more expensive.
The reason this has been hard up to now is that the aminsert function is
not passed any useful place to cache per-statement data. What I chose to
do is to add suitable fields to struct IndexInfo and pass that to aminsert.
That's not widening the index AM API very much because IndexInfo is already
within the ken of ambuild; in fact, by passing the same info to aminsert
as to ambuild, this is really removing an inconsistency in the AM API.

This avoids a very significant amount of buffer manager traffic and
contention when scanning hash indexes, because it's no longer
necessary to lock and pin the metapage for every scan. We do need
some way of figuring out when the cache is too stale to use any more,
so that when we lock the primary bucket page to which the cached
metapage points us, we can tell whether a split has occurred since we
cached the metapage data. To do that, we use the hash_prevblkno field
in the primary bucket page, which would otherwise always be set to
InvalidBuffer.
This patch contains code so that it will continue working (although
less efficiently) with hash indexes built before this change, but
perhaps we should consider bumping the hash version and ripping out
the compatibility code. That decision can be made later, though.

Before committing, I made a number of cosmetic changes to the last
posted version of the patch, adjusted _hash_getcachedmetap to be more
careful about order of operation, and made some necessary updates to
the pageinspect documentation and regression tests.
Uniformly expose unsigned quantities using the next-wider signed
integer type (since we have no unsigned types at the SQL level).
At the SQL level, this results a change to report itemoffset as
int4 rather than int2. Also at the SQL level, report one value
that is an OID as type oid. Under the hood, uniformly use macros
that match the SQL output type as to both width and signedness.
Since pgstattuple v1.5 hasn't been released yet, no need for a new
extension version. The new function exposes statistics about hash
indexes similar to what other pgstatindex functions return for other
index types.
Ashutosh Sharma, reviewed by Kuntal Ghosh. Substantial further
revisions by me.
On machines with MAXALIGN = 8, the payload of a bytea is not maxaligned,
since it will start 4 bytes into a palloc'd value. On alignment-picky
hardware, this will cause failures in accesses to 8-byte-wide values
within the page. We already encountered this problem when we introduced
GIN index inspection functions, and fixed it in commit 84ad68d64. Make
use of the same function for hash indexes.
A small difficulty is that up to now contrib/pageinspect has not shared
any functions at all across files. To support that, introduce a common
header file "pageinspect.h" for the module.
Also, move get_page_from_raw() out of ginfuncs.c, where it didn't
especially belong, and put it in rawpage.c which seems a more natural home.

It seems like somebody used a dartboard while choosing integer widths
for the various values taken and returned by these functions ... and
then threw a fresh set of darts while writing the SQL declarations.
This patch brings the C code into line with what the SQL declarations
say, which is enough to make it not dump core on the particular 32-bit
machine I'm testing on. But I think we could do with another round
of looking at what the datum widths *should* be. For instance, it's
not all that sensible that hash_bitmap_info decided to use int64 to
represent a BlockNumber input when get_raw_page doesn't do it that way.
There's also a remaining problem that the expected outputs from the
test script are platform-dependent, but I'll leave that issue for
somebody else.

Commit 08bf6e5295 seems not to have
used the correct *GetDatum and PG_GETARG_* macros for the SQL types

why the buildfarm is currently unhappy with this code, but it

The rule is that if pg_authid.rolpassword begins with "md5" and has the

idiom has been to use isMD5() to check for that, but that gets awkward,
when we add new kinds of verifiers, like the verifiers for SCRAM
authentication in the pending SCRAM patch set. Replace isMD5() with a new
get_password_type() function, so that when new verifier types are added, we
don't need to remember to modify every place that currently calls isMD5(),
to also recognize the new kinds of verifiers.
Also, use the new plain_crypt_verify function in passwordcheck, so that it

This patch makes several changes that improve the consistency of
representation of lists of statements. It's always been the case
that the output of parse analysis is a list of Query nodes, whatever
the types of the individual statements in the list. This patch brings
similar consistency to the outputs of raw parsing and planning steps:
* The output of raw parsing is now always a list of RawStmt nodes;
the statement-type-dependent nodes are one level down from that.
* The output of pg_plan_queries() is now always a list of PlannedStmt
nodes, even for utility statements. In the case of a utility statement,
"planning" just consists of wrapping a CMD_UTILITY PlannedStmt around
the utility node. This list representation is now used in Portal and
CachedPlan plan lists, replacing the former convention of intermixing
PlannedStmts with bare utility-statement nodes.
Now, every list of statements has a consistent head-node type depending
on how far along it is in processing. This allows changing many places
that formerly used generic "Node *" pointers to use a more specific
pointer type, thus reducing the number of IsA() tests and casts needed,
as well as improving code clarity.
Also, the post-parse-analysis representation of DECLARE CURSOR is changed
so that it looks more like EXPLAIN, PREPARE, etc. That is, the contained
SELECT remains a child of the DeclareCursorStmt rather than getting flipped
around to be the other way. It's now true for both Query and PlannedStmt
that utilityStmt is non-null if and only if commandType is CMD_UTILITY.
That allows simplifying a lot of places that were testing both fields.
(I think some of those were just defensive programming, but in many places,
it was actually necessary to avoid confusing DECLARE CURSOR with SELECT.)
Because PlannedStmt carries a canSetTag field, we're also able to get rid
of some ad-hoc rules about how to reconstruct canSetTag for a bare utility
statement; specifically, the assumption that a utility is canSetTag if and
only if it's the only one in its list. While I see no near-term need for
relaxing that restriction, it's nice to get rid of the ad-hocery.
The API of ProcessUtility() is changed so that what it's passed is the
wrapper PlannedStmt not just the bare utility statement. This will affect
all users of ProcessUtility_hook, but the changes are pretty trivial; see
the affected contrib modules for examples of the minimum change needed.
(Most compilers should give pointer-type-mismatch warnings for uncorrected
code.)
There's also a change in the API of ExplainOneQuery_hook, to pass through
cursorOptions instead of expecting hook functions to know what to pick.
This is needed because of the DECLARE CURSOR changes, but really should
have been done in 9.6; it's unlikely that any extant hook functions
know about using CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK.
Finally, teach gram.y to save statement boundary locations in RawStmt
nodes, and pass those through to Query and PlannedStmt nodes. This allows
more intelligent handling of cases where a source query string contains
multiple statements. This patch doesn't actually do anything with the
information, but a follow-on patch will. (Passing this information through
cleanly is the true motivation for these changes; while I think this is all
good cleanup, it's unlikely we'd have bothered without this end goal.)
catversion bump because addition of location fields to struct Query
affects stored rules.
This patch is by me, but it owes a good deal to Fabien Coelho who did
a lot of preliminary work on the problem, and also reviewed the patch.

When dblink uses a postgres_fdw server name for its connection, it
is possible for the connection to have options that are invalid
with dblink (e.g. "updatable"). The recommended way to avoid this
problem is to use dblink_fdw servers instead. However there are use
cases for using postgres_fdw, and possibly other FDWs, for dblink
connection options, therefore protect against trying to use any
options that do not apply by using is_valid_dblink_option() when
building the connection string from the options.

is_valid_dblink_option() did not yet exist, and neither did

This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes,
for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in
the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong
random numbers in libpq as well.
pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation
in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources,
depending on what's available:
- OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL
- On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used
- /dev/urandom
Unlike the current pgcrypto function, the source is chosen by configure.
That makes it easier to test different implementations, and ensures that
we don't accidentally fall back to a less secure implementation, if the
primary source fails. All of those methods are quite reliable, it would be
pretty surprising for them to fail, so we'd rather find out by failing
hard.
If no strong random source is available, we fall back to using erand48(),
seeded from current timestamp, like PostmasterRandom() was. That isn't
cryptographically secure, but allows us to still work on platforms that
don't have any of the above stronger sources. Because it's not very secure,
the built-in implementation is only used if explicitly requested with
--disable-strong-random.
This replaces the more complicated Fortuna algorithm we used to have in
pgcrypto, which is unfortunate, but all modern platforms have /dev/urandom,
so it doesn't seem worth the maintenance effort to keep that. pgcrypto
functions that require strong random numbers will be disabled with
--disable-strong-random.

equivalent to SPI_modifytuple except that it always allocates its result

Use this function in place of SPI_modifytuple at all call sites where the

There's basically no scenario where it's sensible for this to match
dropped columns, so put a test for dropped-ness into SPI_fnumber()

In passing, normalize tests at call sites: always reject attnum <= 0
if we're disallowing system columns. Previously there was a mixture
of "< 0" and "<= 0" tests. This makes no practical difference since
SPI_fnumber() never returns 0, but I'm feeling pedantic today.
Also, in the places that are actually live user-facing code and not

This function is unreferenced in modern usage; it was superseded in 9.1

On closer inspection, commit 84ad68d64 broke gin_leafpage_items(),
because the aligned copy of the page got palloc'd in a short-lived
context whereas it needs to be in the SRF's multi_call_memory_ctx.
This was not exposed by the regression test, because the regression
test doesn't actually exercise the function in a meaningful way.
Fix the code bug, and extend the test in what I hope is a portable
fashion.
The raw page data that is passed into the functions will not be aligned
at 8-byte boundaries. Casting that to a struct and accessing int64
fields will result in unaligned access. On most platforms, you get away
with it, but it will result on a crash on pickier platforms such as ia64
and sparc64.
While converting expressions in an upper-level plan node so that they
reference Vars and expressions provided by the input plan node(s),
don't convert plain Const items, even if there happens to be a matching
Const in the input. It's silly to do so because a Var is more expensive to
execute than a Const. Moreover, converting can fool ExecCheckPlanOutput's
check that an insert or update query inserts nulls into dropped columns,
leading to "query provides a value for a dropped column" errors during
INSERT or UPDATE on a table with a dropped column. We could solve this
by making that check more complicated, but I don't see the point; this fix
should save a marginal number of cycles, and it also makes for less messy
EXPLAIN output, as shown by the ensuing regression test result changes.
Per report from Pavel Hanák. I have not incorporated a test case based
on that example, as there doesn't seem to be a simple way of checking
this in isolation without making a bunch of assumptions about other
planner and SQL-function behavior.
Back-patch to 9.6. This setrefs.c behavior exists much further back,
but there is not currently reason to think that it causes problems
before 9.6.

Somebody apparently thought that "if Int32GetDatum is good,
Int64GetDatum must be better". Per buildfarm failures now
that Peter has added some regression tests here.
It's currently necessary to take a heavyweight lock when scanning a
hash bucket, but pgstattuple only examines individual pages, so it
doesn't need to do this. If, for some hypothetical reason, it did
need to do any heavyweight locking here, this logic would probably
still be incorrect, because most of the locks that it is taking are
meaningless. Only a heavyweight lock on a primary bucket page has any
meaning, but this takes heavyweight locks on all pages regardless of
function - and in particular overflow pages, where you might imagine
that we'd want to lock the primary bucket page if we needed to lock
anything at all.
This is arguably a bug that has existed since this code was added in
commit dab42382f4, but I'm not going to
bother back-patching it because in most cases the only consequence is
that running pgstattuple() on a hash index is a little slower than it
otherwise might be, which is no big deal.
Extracted from a vastly larger patch by Amit Kapila which heavyweight
locking for hash indexes entirely; analysis of why this can be done
independently of the rest by me.
A query that only aggregates one row isn't a great argument for pushdown,
and buildfarm member brolga decides against it. Adjust the query a bit
in the hopes of getting remote aggregation to win consistently.
Jeevan Chalke, per suggestion from Tom Lane
Set enable_hashagg to false for tests involving least_agg(), so that
we get the same plan regardless of local costing variances. Also,
remove a test involving sqrt(); it's there to test deparsing of
HAVING clauses containing expressions, but that's tested elsewhere
anyway, and sqrt(2) deparses with different amounts of precision on
different machines.
Per buildfarm.
Now that the upper planner uses paths, and now that we have proper hooks
to inject paths into the upper planning process, it's possible for
foreign data wrappers to arrange to push aggregates to the remote side
instead of fetching all of the rows and aggregating them locally. This
figures to be a massive win for performance, so teach postgres_fdw to
do it.
Jeevan Chalke and Ashutosh Bapat. Reviewed by Ashutosh Bapat with
additional testing by Prabhat Sahu. Various mostly cosmetic changes
by me.
This reverts commit 9e083fd468. That was a
few bricks shy of a load:
* Query cancel stopped working
* Buildfarm member pademelon stopped working, because the box doesn't have
/dev/urandom nor /dev/random.
This clearly needs some more discussion, and a quite different patch, so
revert for now.
The old "low-level" API is deprecated, and doesn't support hardware
acceleration. And this makes the code simpler, too.

This adds a new routine, pg_strong_random() for generating random bytes,
for use in both frontend and backend. At the moment, it's only used in
the backend, but the upcoming SCRAM authentication patches need strong
random numbers in libpq as well.
pg_strong_random() is based on, and replaces, the existing implementation
in pgcrypto. It can acquire strong random numbers from a number of sources,
depending on what's available:
- OpenSSL RAND_bytes(), if built with OpenSSL
- On Windows, the native cryptographic functions are used
- /dev/urandom
- /dev/random

Similar to 0137caf273, this makes contrib and pl tests less dependant on
hash-table order. After this commit, at least some order affecting
changes to execGrouping.c don't result in regression test changes
anymore.
Windows apparently has a constant named WAIT_TIMEOUT, and some of these
other names are pretty generic, too. Insert "PG_" at the front of each
name in order to disambiguate.

Just turning the crank on the project started in commit d51924be8.
These cases turn out to be exact subsets of the boilerplate needed
for hstore_plpython.

WaitLatch, WaitLatchOrSocket, and WaitEventSetWait now taken an
additional wait_event_info parameter; legal values are defined in
pgstat.h. This makes it possible to uniquely identify every point in
the core code where we are waiting for a latch; extensions can pass
WAIT_EXTENSION.
Because latches were the major wait primitive not previously covered
by this patch, it is now possible to see information in
pg_stat_activity on a large number of important wait events not
previously addressed, such as ClientRead, ClientWrite, and SyncRep.
Unfortunately, many of the wait events added by this patch will fail
to appear in pg_stat_activity because they're only used in background
processes which don't currently appear in pg_stat_activity. We should
fix this either by creating a separate view for such information, or
else by deciding to include them in pg_stat_activity after all.

In commit d51924be8, I overlooked the need to provide linkage for
PLyUnicode_FromStringAndSize, because that's only used (and indeed
only exists) in Python 3 builds.
In light of the need to #if this item, rearrange the ordering of
the code related to each function pointer, so as not to need more
#if's than absolutely necessary.
Per buildfarm.
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.

Backport: 9,4-, where logical decoding was added
Previously, on most platforms, we allowed hstore_plpython's references
to hstore and plpython to be unresolved symbols at link time, trusting
the dynamic linker to resolve them when the module is loaded. This
has a number of problems, the worst being that the dynamic linker
does not know where the references come from and can do nothing but
fail if those other modules haven't been loaded. We've more or less
gotten away with that for the limited use-case of datatype transform
modules, but even there, it requires some awkward hacks, most recently
commit 83c249200.
Instead, let's not treat these references as linker-resolvable at all,
but use function pointers that are manually filled in by the module's
_PG_init function. There are few enough contact points that this
doesn't seem unmaintainable, at least for these use-cases. (Note that
the same technique wouldn't work at all for decoupling from libpython
itself, but fortunately that's just a standard shared library and can
be linked to normally.)
This is an initial patch that just converts hstore_plpython. If the
buildfarm doesn't find any fatal problems, I'll work on the other
transform modules soon.

collect_corrupt_items() failed to initialize tuple.t_self. While
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() doesn't actually use that value, it does
Assert that it's valid, so that the code would dump core if ip_posid
chanced to be zero. (That's somewhat unlikely, which probably explains
how this got missed. In any case it wouldn't matter for field use.)
Also, collect_corrupt_items was returning the wrong TIDs, that is the
contents of t_ctid rather than the tuple's own location. This would
be the same thing in simple cases, but it could be wrong if, for
example, a past update attempt had been rolled back, leaving a live
tuple whose t_ctid doesn't point at itself.
Also, in pg_visibility(), guard against trying to read a page past
the end of the rel. The VM code handles inquiries beyond the end
of the map by silently returning zeroes, and it seems like we should
do the same thing here.
I ran into the assertion failure while using pg_visibility to check
pg_upgrade's behavior, and then noted the other problems while
reading the code.
