Calculating degree of a functional dependency may allocate a lot of
memory - we have released mot of the explicitly allocated memory, but
e.g. detoasted varlena values were left behind. That may be an issue,
because we consider a lot of dependencies (all combinations), and the
detoasting may happen for each one again.
Fixed by calling dependency_degree() in a dedicated context, and
resetting it after each call. We only need the calculated dependency
degree, so we don't need to copy anything.

Until now, all extended statistics on a given relation were built in the
same memory context, without resetting. Some of the memory was released
explicitly, but not all of it - for example memory allocated while
detoasting values is hard to free. This is how it worked since extended
statistics were introduced in PostgreSQL 10, but adding support for
extended stats on expressions made the issue somewhat worse as it
increases the number of statistics to build.
Fixed by adding a memory context which gets reset after building each
statistics object (all the statistics kinds included in it). Resetting
it after building each statistics kind would be even better, but it
would require more invasive changes and copying of results, making it
harder to backpatch.

Updates/Deletes on a partition were allowed even without replica identity
after the parent table was added to a publication. This would later lead
to an error on subscribers. The reason was that we were not invalidating
the partition's relcache and the publication information for partitions
was not getting rebuilt. Similarly, we were not invalidating the
partitions' relcache after dropping a partitioned table from a publication
which will prohibit Updates/Deletes on its partition without replica
identity even without any publication.

It is not appropriate for deduplication to apply single value strategy
when triggered by a bottom-up index deletion pass. This wastes cycles
because later bottom-up deletion passes will overinterpret older
duplicate tuples that deduplication actually just skipped over "by
design". It also makes bottom-up deletion much less effective for low
cardinality indexes that happen to cross a meaningless "index has single
key value per leaf page" threshold.
To fix, slightly narrow the conditions under which deduplication's
single value strategy is considered. We already avoided the strategy
for a unique index, since our high level goal must just be to buy time
for VACUUM to run (not to buy space). We'll now also avoid it when we
just had a bottom-up pass that reported failure. The two cases share
the same high level goal, and already overlapped significantly, so this
approach is quite natural.

Before commit 84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL
statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot,
because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of
that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within
COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL
statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes,
but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions
within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll
be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot,
keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup.
(VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their
own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself
doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.)
We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within
ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get
into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem.
The possibly-useless extra snapshot-grab is slightly annoying,
but it's no worse than what happened before 84f5c2908.

Session statistics, as introduced by 960869da08, had several shortcomings:
- an additional GetCurrentTimestamp() call that also impaired the accuracy of
the data collected
This can be avoided by passing the current timestamp we already have in
pgstat_report_stat().
- an additional statistics UDP packet sent every 500ms
This is solved by adding the new statistics to PgStat_MsgTabstat.
This is conceptually ugly, because session statistics are not
table statistics. But the struct already contains data unrelated
to tables, so there is not much damage done.
Connection and disconnection are reported in separate messages, which
reduces the number of additional messages to two messages per session and a
slight increase in PgStat_MsgTabstat size (but the same number of table
stats fit).
- Session time computation could overflow on systems where long is 32 bit.

It's possible to execute user-defined SQL in some background processes;
for example, logical replication workers can fire triggers. This opens
the possibility that someone would try to execute LISTEN in such a

ProcessNotifyInterrupt, no messages would actually be received, and
thus the registered listener would simply prevent the message queue

Formerly, we sent signals for outgoing NOTIFY messages within
ProcessCompletedNotifies, which was also responsible for sending
relevant ones of those messages to our connected client. It therefore
had to run during the main-loop processing that occurs just before
going idle. This arrangement had two big disadvantages:
* Now that procedures allow intra-command COMMITs, it would be
useful to send NOTIFYs to other sessions immediately at COMMIT
(though, for reasons of wire-protocol stability, we still shouldn't
forward them to our client until end of command).
* Background processes such as replication workers would not send
NOTIFYs at all, since they never execute the client communication
loop. We've had requests to allow triggers running in replication
workers to send NOTIFYs, so that's a problem.
To fix these things, move transmission of outgoing NOTIFY signals
into AtCommit_Notify, where it will happen during CommitTransaction.
Also move the possible call of asyncQueueAdvanceTail there, to
ensure we don't bloat the async SLRU if a background worker sends
many NOTIFYs with no one listening.
We can also drop the call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
allowing ProcessCompletedNotifies to go away entirely. That's
because commit 790026972 added a call of ProcessNotifyInterrupt
adjacent to PostgresMain's call of ProcessCompletedNotifies,
and that does its own call of asyncQueueReadAllNotifications,
meaning that we were uselessly doing two such calls (inside two
separate transactions) whenever inbound notify signals coincided
with an outbound notify. We need only set notifyInterruptPending
to ensure that ProcessNotifyInterrupt runs, and we're done.
The existing documentation suggests that custom background workers
should call ProcessCompletedNotifies if they want to send NOTIFY
messages. To avoid an ABI break in the back branches, reduce it
to an empty routine rather than removing it entirely. Removal
will occur in v15.
Although the problems mentioned above have existed for awhile,
I don't feel comfortable back-patching this any further than v13.
There was quite a bit of churn in adjacent code between 12 and 13.
At minimum we'd have to also backpatch 51004c717, and a good deal
of other adjustment would also be needed, so the benefit-to-risk
ratio doesn't look attractive.

If an allocation failed within LLVM it is not safe to call back into LLVM as
LLVM is not generally safe against exceptions / stack-unwinding. Thus errors

We have long forbidden fetching backwards from a NO SCROLL cursor,
but the prohibition didn't extend to cases in which we rewind the
query altogether and then re-fetch forwards. I think the reason is
that this logic was mainly meant to protect plan nodes that can't
be run in the reverse direction. However, re-reading the query output
is problematic if the query is volatile (which includes SELECT FOR
UPDATE, not just queries with volatile functions): the re-read can
produce different results, which confuses the cursor navigation logic
completely. Another reason for disliking this approach is that some
code paths will either fetch backwards or rewind-and-fetch-forwards
depending on the distance to the target row; so that seemingly
identical use-cases may or may not draw the "cursor can only scan
forward" error. Hence, let's clean things up by disallowing rewind
as well as fetch-backwards in a NO SCROLL cursor.
Ordinarily we'd only make such a definitional change in HEAD, but
there is a third reason to consider this change now. Commit ba2c6d6ce
created some new user-visible anomalies for non-scrollable cursors
WITH HOLD, in that navigation in the cursor result got confused if the
cursor had been partially read before committing. The only good way
to resolve those anomalies is to forbid rewinding such a cursor, which
allows removal of the incorrect cursor state manipulations that
ba2c6d6ce added to PersistHoldablePortal.
To minimize the behavioral change in the back branches (including
v14), refuse to rewind a NO SCROLL cursor only when it has a holdStore,
ie has been held over from a previous transaction due to WITH HOLD.
This should avoid breaking most applications that have been sloppy
about whether to declare cursors as scrollable. We'll enforce the
prohibition across-the-board beginning in v15.

When throttling is used, transactions that lag behind schedule by
more than the latency limit are counted and reported as skipped.
Previously, there was the case where pgbench counted all skipped
transactions even if the timer specified in -T option was exceeded.
This could take a very long time to do that especially when unrealistically
high rate setting in -R option caused quite a lot of transactions that
lagged behind schedule. This could prevent pgbench from ending
immediately, and so pgbench could look like it got stuck to users.
To fix the issue, this commit changes pgbench so that it stops counting
skipped transactions as soon as the timer is exceeded. The timer can
make pgbench end soon even when there are lots of skipped transactions
that have not been counted yet.
Note that there is no guarantee that all skipped transactions are
counted under -T though there is under -t. This is OK in practice
because it's very unlikely to happen with realistic setting. Also this is
not the issue that this commit newly introdues. There used to be
the case where pgbench ended without counting all skipped
transactions since before.

If we copy data-modifying CTEs from the original query to a replacement
query (from a DO INSTEAD rule), we must set hasModifyingCTE properly
in the replacement query. Failure to do this can cause various
unpleasantness, such as unsafe usage of parallel plans. The code also
neglected to propagate hasRecursive, though that's only cosmetic at
the moment.
A difficulty arises if the rule action is an INSERT...SELECT. We
attach the original query's RTEs and CTEs to the sub-SELECT Query, but
data-modifying CTEs are only allowed to appear in the topmost Query.
For the moment, throw an error in such cases. It would probably be
possible to avoid this error by attaching the CTEs to the top INSERT
Query instead; but that would require a bunch of new code to adjust
ctelevelsup references. Given the narrowness of the use-case, and
the need to back-patch this fix, it does not seem worth the trouble
for now. We can revisit this if we get field complaints.
Per report from Greg Nancarrow. Back-patch to all supported branches.
(The test case added here does not fail before v10, but there are
plenty of places checking top-level hasModifyingCTE in 9.6, so I have
no doubt that this code change is necessary there too.)

Commit 01e658fa74 added hash support for row types. This also added
support for hashing anonymous record types, using the same approach
that the type cache uses for comparison support for record types: It
just reports that it works, but it might fail at run time if a
component type doesn't actually support the operation. We get away
with that for comparison because most types support that. But some
types don't support hashing, so the current state can result in
failures at run time where the planner chooses hashing over sorting,
whereas that previously worked if only sorting was an option.
We do, however, want the record hashing support for path tracking in
recursive unions, and the SEARCH and CYCLE clauses built on that. In
that case, hashing is the only plan option. So enable that, this
commit implements the following approach: The type cache does not
report that hashing is available for the record type. This undoes
that part of 01e658fa74. Instead, callers that require hashing no
matter what can override that result themselves. This patch only
touches the callers to make the aforementioned recursive query cases
work, namely the parse analysis of unions, as well as the hash_array()
function.
