The current jsonpath code assumes that the referenced variable always exists.
It could only throw an error at the value valuation time. At the same time
existence checking assumes variable is present without valuation, and error
suppression doesn't work for missing variables.
This commit makes existense checking trigger an error for missing variables.
This makes the overall behavior consistent.
Backpatch to 12 where jsonpath was introduced.

pg_database.datfrozenxid gets updated using an in-place update at the
end of vacuum or autovacuum. Since 96cdeae, as pg_database has a toast
relation, it is possible for a pg_database tuple to have toast values
if there is a large set of ACLs in place. In such a case, the in-place
update would fail because of the flattening of the toast values done for
the catcache entry fetched. Instead of using a copy from the catcache,
this changes the logic to fetch the copy of the tuple by directly
scanning pg_database.
Note that before 96cdeae, attempting to insert such a tuple to
pg_database would cause a "row is too big" error, so the end-of-vacuum
problem was not reachable.
This issue has been originally fixed in 947789f on v14~, and there have
been reports about this problem on v12 and v13, causing failures at the
end of VACUUM. This completes the fix on all the stable branches where
pg_database can use a toast table, down to 12.

We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance
children by transposing the calculation made for their parent.
However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child
can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that
have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression.
(At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning
either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case
clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.)
Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field
in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated
columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove
extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but
always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch
versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field
to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches.
Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead.
Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12,
but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it
to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of
which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still
be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but
that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it
unfixed in v12.

New versions of perl trigger warnings within perl.h with our compiler
flags. At least -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wshadow=compatible-local are
known to be problematic.
To avoid these warnings, conditionally use #pragma GCC system_header before
including plperl.h.
Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with
-isystem, but that is a larger hammer and is harder to search for.
A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic
push/ignored/pop, but gcc warns about unknown warnings being ignored, so every
to-be-ignored-temporarily compiler warning would require its own pg_config.h
symbol and #ifdef.
As the warnings are voluminous, it makes sense to backpatch this change. But
don't do so yet, we first want gather buildfarm coverage - it's e.g. possible
that some compiler claiming to be gcc compatible has issues with the pragma.

When considering an empty grouping set, we fetched

palloc'd, that would always be an aset pointer in released versions,

It seems that drop-index-concurrently-1 has started to forget what it was
originally meant to be testing. d2d8a229b, which added incremental sorts
changed the expected plan to be an Index Scan plan instead of a Seq Scan
plan. This occurred as the primary key index of the table in question
provided presorted input and, because that index happened to be the
cheapest input path due to enable_seqscan being disabled, the incremental
sort changes just added a Sort on top of that. It seems based on the name
of the PREPAREd statement that the intention here is that the query
produces a seqscan plan.
The reason this test has become broken seems to be due to how the test was
originally coded. The test was trying to force a seqscan plan by
performing some casting to make it so the test_dc index couldn't be used
to perform the required filtering. Trying to coax the planner into using
a plan which has costed in a disable_cost seems like it's always going to
be flakey as small changes in costs are drowned out by the large
disable_cost combined with add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR. Here we get rid of
the casts that we're using to try to trick the planner into a seqscan and
instead toggle enable_seqscan as and when required to get the desired
plan.
Additionally, rename a few things in the test and add some additional
wording to the comments to try and make it more clear in the future what
we expect this test to be doing.

Backpatch-through: 13, where d2d8a229b changed the expected test output
Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the
XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false",
on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of
PreventInTransactionBlock(). This turns out to be a bad idea though,
because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to
cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected.
Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue,
which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal
commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly
committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline.
To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag
XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we
have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a
commit for it. Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing
InTransactionBlock() to return "false".
Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT
without fear of causing problems. This means that the API guarantees
of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock,
which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage
of IsInTransactionBlock. (In any case, a caller preferring the old
behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.)
For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set
in PreventInTransactionBlock. This too is meant to prevent commands
such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands
in a pipeline.

We might fail to generate a partitionwise join, because
reparameterize_path_by_child() does not support all path types.
This should not be a hard failure condition: we should just fall back
to a non-partitioned join. However, generate_partitionwise_join_paths
did not consider this possibility and would emit the (misleading)
error "could not devise a query plan for the given query" if we'd
failed to make any paths for a child join. Fix it to give up on
partitionwise joining if so. (The accepted technique for giving up
appears to be to set rel->nparts = 0, which I find pretty bizarre,
but there you have it.)
I have not added a test case because there'd be little point:
any omissions of this sort that we identify would soon get fixed
by extending reparameterize_path_by_child(), so the test would stop
proving anything. However, right now there is a known test case based
on failure to cover MaterialPath, and with that I've found that this
is broken in all supported versions. Hence, patch all the way back.

When updating a relation with a rule whose action performed an INSERT
from a multi-row VALUES list, the rewriter might skip processing the
VALUES list, and therefore fail to replace any DEFAULTs in it. This
would lead to an "unrecognized node type" error.
The reason was that RewriteQuery() assumed that a query doing an
INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list would necessarily only have one
item in its fromlist, pointing to the VALUES RTE to read from. That
assumption is correct for the original query, but not for product
queries produced for rule actions. In such cases, there may be
multiple items in the fromlist, possibly including multiple VALUES
RTEs.
What is required instead is for RewriteQuery() to skip any RTEs from
the product query's originating query, which might include one or more
already-processed VALUES RTEs. What's left should then include at most
one VALUES RTE (from the rule action) to be processed.

When the relkind of a relache entry changes, because a table is converted into
a view, pgstats can get confused in 15+, leading to crashes or assertion
failures.
For HEAD, Tom fixed this in b23cd185fd, by removing support for converting a
table to a view, removing the source of the inconsistency. This commit just
adds an assertion that a relcache entry's relkind does not change, just in
case we end up with another case of that in the future. As there's no cases of
changing relkind anymore, we can't add a test that that's handled correctly.
For 15, fix the problem by not maintaining the association with the old pgstat
entry when the relkind changes during a relcache invalidation processing. In
that case the pgstat entry needs to be unlinked first, to avoid
PgStat_TableStatus->relation getting out of sync. Also add a test reproducing
the issues.
No known problem exists in 11-14, so just add the test there.

Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries
reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids).
If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not
compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in
hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots. Get rid
of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids.
That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much
effort compressing. Hence, consider compressing only once every 128
commit records. (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking. While
we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over
a fairly wide range of frequencies.)
Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records
(which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression
then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for
the transaction-commit path.
Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about
to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second. This should
prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array
not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic.
Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing
when the array storage is already compact.

The JOIN_SEMI case Assert'ed that there are no PlaceHolderVars that
need to be evaluated at the semijoin's RHS, which is wrong because
there could be some in the semijoin's qual condition. However, there
could not be any references further up than that, and within the qual
there is not any way that such a PHV could have gone to null yet, so
we don't really need the PHV and there is no need to avoid making the

In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to
remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the
xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was
allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore
serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the
builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the
same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up
using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior.
This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using
InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range
from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421).
But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after
deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples. While that
planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and
thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it
has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits. It's (usually?)
not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly
better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table
contents are known to be mutating rapidly.
Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up
after we've visited 100 heap pages. Giving up just means we'll
fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it
shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless.
Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem
by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt;
so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions),
even in the absence of VACUUM.

Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both
test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use
it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation

checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for
another free port if it is.
Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting

of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases.
However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such

The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency

However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using

protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a
misleading comment.
It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because
it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I

Fix that, and add the missing checks that would have exposed the

Back-patch to v11 where the problem came in.
In commit 450ee7012 I supposed that all platforms we now care about have
snprintf(), since that's required by C99. Turns out that Microsoft did
not get around to adding that until VS2015. We've dropped support for
VS2013 as of HEAD (cf 6203583b7), but not in the back branches, so add
a hack for this in the back branches only.
There's no easy shortcut to an exact emulation of standard snprintf
in VS2013, but fortunately we don't need one: this code was just fine
with using sprintf before 450ee7012, so we can make it do so again
on that platform (and any others where the problem might crop up).

Commit f56f8f8da6 added some code in CloneFkReferencing that's way too
lax about a Constraint node it manufactures, not initializing enough
struct members -- initially_valid in particular was forgotten. This
causes some FKs in partitions added by ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION to
be marked as not validated. Set initially_valid true, which fixes the
bug.
While at it, make the struct initialization more complete. Very similar
code was added in two other places by the same commit; make them all
follow the same pattern for consistency, though no bugs are apparent
there.

If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language
CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker,
we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That
seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing.
The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be
executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c
doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor.
We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully
if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive
check here was my fault originally, probably because I wasn't sure if
the case would always hold and wanted to find out. Well, now we know.)
The hazard seems to exist in all branches that have logical replication,
so back-patch to v10.

If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform,
but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of
failing. It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set

but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks.
This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit

Since partitions can be foreign tables not only plain tables, but
logical replication only supports plain tables, we'd better check the
relkind of a partition after we find it. (There was some discussion
of checking this when adding a partitioned table to a subscription;
but that would be inadequate since the troublesome partition could be
added later.) Without this, the situation leads to a segfault or
assertion failure.
In passing, add a separate variable for the target Relation of
a cross-partition UPDATE; reusing partrel seemed mighty confusing

DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Palestine,
and Syria. Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and
Mexico.
Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv
(retaining the old name as a link).
The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones
whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei,
Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam,
Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo,
Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen,
Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti,
Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis.
(This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of
these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland,
Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon,
America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and
Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering
that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have
been errors.
While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no
post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects
some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged
in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone
history for those zones may be troublesome for applications
expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the
stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as
'1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected,
but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'.
There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data
files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also
resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so
that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option
than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason
and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the
"packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior
to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with
--with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose
significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone
files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README,
ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does
its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path.
First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always
called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was
wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail
page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items
into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and
START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these
issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages
logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.
This has been applied first only on HEAD as of 56b6625, but as per
discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera, a backpatch is preferred to
keep all the branches consistent and to respect the transam's README
where we can.

This problem has been introduced by commit 272248a0c1 where we started
assigning the subtransactions to the top-level transaction when we mark
both the top-level transaction and its subtransactions as containing
catalog changes. After we assign subtransactions to the top-level
transaction, we were not allowed to execute any invalidations associated
with it when we decide to skip the transaction.
The reason to assign the subtransactions to the top-level transaction was
to avoid the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder() as they have the
same LSN when we sometimes start accumulating transaction changes for
partial transactions after the restart. Now that with commit 64ff0fe4e8,
we skip this assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start
decoding the contents of the transaction, so, there is no reason for such
an assignment anymore.
The assignment change was introduced in 15 and prior versions but this bug
doesn't exist in branches prior to 14 since we don't add invalidation
messages to subtransactions. We decided to backpatch through 11 for
consistency but not for 10 since its final release is near.

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

Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if

fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem

snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation
when printing pointers (%p) and floats. When this code originated,
we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf,
so we used sprintf for that. That's not actually unsafe in our usage,
but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf
being unconditionally deprecated; and I wouldn't be surprised if other
platforms follow suit. There seems little reason to believe that any
platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf,
so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings.
Back-patch to v12, which is where we started to require C99. It's
also where we started to use our snprintf.c everywhere, so this
wouldn't be enough to suppress the warning in older branches anyway
--- that is, in older branches these aren't necessarily all our
usages of libc's sprintf. It is enough in v12+ because any
deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to
pg_sprintf. (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately
safe is not a matter I intend to address here, but perhaps it could
do with some review.)

The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends
fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates
the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will
take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery.
In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded
AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail
or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became
corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such
crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent
changes around palloc chunk headers.
To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster
so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child
slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed
routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the
shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now
lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X
failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things.
But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset
regardless.

DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view
could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause.
This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed
for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes.
The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE()
to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced
by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries,
that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the
DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are,
their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list,
so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable.
What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL
constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults
as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced
any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests
to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to
split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE()
to the charter it had before.

There are a number of bugs in this area. Two of them are fixed here,
namely:
1. get_relation_idx_constraint_oid does not restrict the type of
constraint that's returned, so with sufficient bad luck it can
return the OID of a foreign key constraint. This has the effect that
a primary key in a partition can end up as a child of a foreign key,
which makes no sense (it needs to be the child of the equivalent
primary key.)
Change the API contract so that only index-backed constraints are
returned, mimicking get_constraint_index().
2. Both CloneFkReferenced and CloneFkReferencing clone a
self-referencing foreign key, so the partition ends up with
a duplicate foreign key. Change the former function to ignore such
constraints.
Add some tests to verify that things are better now. (However, these
new tests show some additional misbehavior that will be fixed later --
namely that there's a constraint marked NOT VALID.)

Commit 34f581c39 intended to ensure that RelationGetBufferForTuple
would acquire a visibility-map page pin in case the otherBuffer's
all-visible bit had become set since we last had lock on that page.
But I missed a case: when we're extending the relation, VM concerns
were dealt with only in the relatively-less-likely case that we
fail to conditionally lock the otherBuffer. I think I'd believed
that we couldn't need to worry about it if the conditional lock
succeeds, which is true for the target buffer; but the otherBuffer
was unlocked for awhile so its bit might be set anyway. So we need
to do the GetVisibilityMapPins dance, and then also recheck the

This prevents marking the argument string for translation for gettext,
and it also prevents the given string (which is already translated) from
being translated at runtime.
Also, mark the strings used as arguments to check_rolespec_name for
translation.
Backpatch all the way back as appropriate. None of this is caught by
any tests (necessarily so), so I verified it manually.
Commit 25936fd46 adjusted things so that the "storeslot" we use
for remapping trigger tuples would have adequate lifespan, but it
neglected to consider the lifespan of the tuple descriptor that
the slot depends on. It turns out that in at least some cases, the
tupdesc we are passing is a refcounted tupdesc, and the refcount for
the slot's reference can get assigned to a resource owner having
different lifespan than the slot does. That leads to an error like
"tupdesc reference 0x7fdef236a1b8 is not owned by resource owner
SubTransaction". Worse, because of a second oversight in the same
commit, we'd try to free the same tupdesc refcount again while
cleaning up after that error, leading to recursive errors and an
"ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded" PANIC.
To fix the initial problem, let's just make a non-refcounted copy
of the tupdesc we're supposed to use. That seems likely to guard
against additional problems, since there's no strong reason for
this code to assume that what it's given is a refcounted tupdesc;
in which case there's an independent hazard of the tupdesc having
shorter lifespan than the slot does. (I didn't bother trying to
free said copy, since it should go away anyway when the (sub)
transaction context is cleaned up.)
The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to
AfterTriggerFreeQuery work like the rest of that function, ie be
sure that it doesn't try to free the same slot twice in the event
of recursive error cleanup.
While here, also clean up minor stylistic issues in the test case
added by 25936fd46: don't use "create or replace function", as any
name collision within the tests is likely to have ill effects
that that won't mask; and don't use function names as generic as
trigger_function1, especially if you're not going to drop them
at the end of the test stanza.

clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only

That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that
we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual
methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by
actually removing a useless variable.
One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser,
Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this
warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the
top-level productions of affected grammars.

The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured
they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code
to do it honestly with a separate walker function.
In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's
useless return value. I left that as-is in back branches though,
to forestall complaints about ABI breakage.

importance before our stable branches are all out of service.

strategy, but this code has been using a hardcoded value of 0 rather
than Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY. This commit adjusts the code to use
Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY.
Backpatch down to where this code has been added to ease the backport of
any future patch touching this area.

This adds additional variants of palloc, pg_malloc, etc. that
encapsulate common usage patterns and provide more type safety.
Specifically, this adds palloc_object(), palloc_array(), and
repalloc_array(), which take the type name of the object to be
allocated as its first argument and cast the return as a pointer to
that type. There are also palloc0_object() and palloc0_array()
variants for initializing with zero, and pg_malloc_*() variants of all
of the above.
Inspired by the talloc library.
This is backpatched from master so that future backpatchable code can
make use of these APIs. This patch by itself does not contain any
users of these APIs.

Commit c4c340088 changed geometric operators to use float4 and float8
functions, and handle NaN's in a better way. The circle sameness test
had a typo in the code which resulted in all comparisons with the left
circle having a NaN radius considered same.
postgres=# select '<(0,0),NaN>'::circle ~= '<(0,0),1>'::circle;

This fixes the sameness test to consider the radius of both the left

The ECPG preprocessor converted code such as
static varchar str1[10], str2[20], str3[30];
into
static struct varchar_1 { int len; char arr[ 10 ]; } str1 ;
struct varchar_2 { int len; char arr[ 20 ]; } str2 ;
struct varchar_3 { int len; char arr[ 30 ]; } str3 ;
thus losing the storage attribute for the later variables.
Repeat the declaration for each such variable.

During ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION, if the name of a parent's foreign
key constraint is already used on the partition, the code tries to
choose another one before the FK attributes list has been populated,
so the resulting constraint name was "<relname>__fkey" instead of
"<relname>_<attrs>_fkey". Repair, and add a test case.

Some more things I didn't think about in commits 3f7323cbb et al:
MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK subplans might have been converted to initplans
instead of regular subplans, in which case they won't show up in
the modified targetlist. Fortunately, this would only happen if
they have no input parameters, which means that the problem we
originally needed to fix can't happen with them. Therefore, there's
no need to clone their output parameters, and thus it doesn't hurt
that we'll fail to see them in the first pass over the targetlist.
Nonetheless, this complicates matters greatly, because now we have
to distinguish output Params of initplans (which shouldn't get
renumbered) from those of regular subplans (which should).
This also breaks the simplistic scheme I used of assuming that the
subplans found in the targetlist have consecutive subLinkIds.
We really can't avoid the need to know the subplans' subLinkIds in
this code. To fix that, add subLinkId as the last field of SubPlan.
We can get away with that change in back branches because SubPlan
nodes will never be stored in the catalogs, and there's no ABI
break for external code that might be looking at the existing
fields of SubPlan.
Secondly, rewriteTargetListIU might have rolled up multiple
FieldStores or SubscriptingRefs into one targetlist entry,
breaking the assumption that there's at most one Param to fix
per targetlist entry. (That assumption is OK I think in the
ruleutils.c code I stole the logic from in 18f51083c, because
that only deals with pre-rewrite query trees. But it's
definitely not OK here.) Abandon that shortcut and just do a
full tree walk on the targetlist to ensure we find all the
Params we have to change.

Postgres 14 commit 5b861baa taught nbtree VACUUM to tolerate buggy
opclasses. VACUUM's inability to locate a to-be-deleted page's downlink
in the parent page was logged instead of throwing an error. VACUUM
could just press on with vacuuming the index, and vacuuming the table as
a whole.
There are now anecdotal reports of this error causing problems that were
much more disruptive than the underlying index corruption ever could be.
Anything that makes VACUUM unable to make forward progress against one
table/index ultimately risks making the system enter xidStopLimit mode.
There is no good reason to take any chances here, so backpatch the
hardening commit.

Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was
looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check. The reason that we've
never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is
because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users
of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore
there's never any space for the sentinel byte. It is possible that an
extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size
that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten
sentinel bytes.
Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done
based on the sizeof(SlabBlock). Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a
multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as
MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any
fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up
returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer. To be safe, let's ensure we always
MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations.

get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context,
instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is
how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think
they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of
not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations.
The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations
could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext.
Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't
have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the
stats logic. I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no
other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one
in future back-patched fixes. So back-patch to all supported
branches, even though this may be only a latent bug in pre-v15.

If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow
problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance
against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in
the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running
for a long time.) The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary.
An alternative definition could have been to treat such words as
stopwords, but that seems like a bigger break from the old behavior.

The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster
first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve
the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes
an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the
operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal
handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the
postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow,
and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive
right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU
machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware.
The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic
symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option.
While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small
security gain.
It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this
issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might
later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance
reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.)
Report and patch by me; the idea to fix it this way is from
Andres Freund.

When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using
standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted
to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create
invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline
would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid
record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately
afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at
the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment
would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried
to read WAL from that file.
The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set
abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode,
but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of
ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite
contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in
ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead.

Prior to v14, if we have a MULTIEXPR SubPlan (that is, use of the syntax
UPDATE ... SET (c1, ...) = (SELECT ...)) in an UPDATE with an inherited
or partitioned target table, inheritance_planner() will clone the
targetlist and therefore also the MULTIEXPR SubPlan and the Param nodes
referencing it for each child target table. Up to now, we've allowed
all the clones to share the underlying subplan as well as the output
parameter IDs -- that is, the runtime ParamExecData slots. That
technique is borrowed from the far older code that supports initplans,
and it works okay in that case because the cloned SubPlan nodes are
essentially identical. So it doesn't matter which one of the clones
the shared ParamExecData.execPlan field might point to.
However, this fails to hold for MULTIEXPR SubPlans, because they can
have nonempty "args" lists (values to be passed into the subplan), and
those lists could get mutated to different states in the various clones.
In the submitted reproducer, as well as the test case added here, one
clone contains Vars with varno OUTER_VAR where another has INNER_VAR,
because the child tables are respectively on the outer or inner side of
the join. Sharing the execPlan pointer can result in trying to evaluate
an args list that doesn't match the local execution state, with mayhem
ensuing. The result often is to trigger consistency checks in the
executor, but I believe this could end in a crash or incorrect updates.
To fix, assign new Param IDs to each of the cloned SubPlans, so that
they don't share ParamExecData slots at runtime. It still seems fine
for the clones to share the underlying subplan, and extra ParamExecData
slots are cheap enough that this fix shouldn't cost much.
This has been busted since we invented MULTIEXPR SubPlans in 9.5.
Probably the lack of previous reports is because query plans in which
the different clones of a MULTIEXPR mutate to effectively-different
states are pretty rare. There's no issue in v14 and later, because
without inheritance_planner() there's never a reason to clone
MULTIEXPR SubPlans.

SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c,
and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse
until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls.
So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by
converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code
that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.)
There remains a reachable stack overrun in the Turkish stemmer, but
we'll need some advice from the Snowball people about how to fix that.

When creating a partitioned index, DefineIndex tries to identify
any existing indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned
index, so that it can absorb those as child indexes instead of
building new ones. Part of the matching is to compare IndexInfo
structs --- but that wasn't done quite right. We're comparing
the IndexInfo built within DefineIndex itself to one made from
existing catalog contents by BuildIndexInfo. Notably, while
BuildIndexInfo will run index expressions and predicates through
expression preprocessing, that has not happened to DefineIndex's
struct. The result is failure to match and subsequent creation
of duplicate indexes.
The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to build a new IndexInfo
using BuildIndexInfo, thereby guaranteeing that the processing done
is identical.
While here, let's also extract the opfamily and collation data
from the new partitioned index, removing ad-hoc logic that
duplicated knowledge about how those are constructed.

When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object,
varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt
memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc().
The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out
from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping
on whatever gets allocated in that memory later.
In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations
(cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations.
I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction
of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just
uses one context for the duration of the sort.
We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert
match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems
like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the
pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically
preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles
because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing
coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer
enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's
far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since
these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting
last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination,
but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't
get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings.
Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is
reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its
own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.
