An offline cluster can now work with more modes in pg_checksums:
- --enable enables checksums in a cluster, updating all blocks with a
correct checksum, and updating the control file at the end.
- --disable disables checksums in a cluster, updating only the control
file.
- --check is an extra option able to verify checksums for a cluster, and
the default used if no mode is specified.
When running --enable or --disable, the data folder gets fsync'd for
durability, and then it is followed by a control file update and flush
to keep the operation consistent should the tool be interrupted, killed
or the host unplugged. If no mode is specified in the options, then
--check is used for compatibility with older versions of pg_checksums
(named pg_verify_checksums in v11 where it was introduced).

Postpone most of the effort of constructing PartitionedRelPruneInfos
until after we have found out whether run-time pruning is needed at all.
This costs very little duplicated effort (basically just an extra
find_base_rel() call per partition) and saves quite a bit when we
can't do run-time pruning.
Also, merge the first loop (for building relid_subpart_map) into

I (tgl) remain dubious that it's a good idea for PartitionDirectory
to hold a pin on a relcache entry throughout planning, rather than
copying the data or using some kind of refcount scheme. However, it's
certainly the responsibility of the PartitionDirectory code to ensure
that what it's handing back is a stable data structure, not that of
its caller. So this is a pretty clear oversight in commit 898e5e329,
and one that can cost a lot of performance when there are many

There were more large constants that needed UINT64CONST. And one variable
was declared as "int", when it needed to be uint64. These bugs were only
visible on 32-bit systems; clearly I should've tested on one, given that
this code does a lot of work with 64-bit integers.
Also, in the test "huge distances" test, the code created some values with
random distances between them, but the test logic didn't take into account
the possibility that the random distance was exactly 1. That never actually
happens with the seed we're using, but let's be tidy.
Buildfarm member 'woodlouse' failed one of the tests, and I'm not sure
which test failed. Better to print the names of the tests, so that it
will appear in the regression.diffs on failure.
To do this, we scan GiST two times. In the first pass we make note of
empty leaf pages and internal pages. At second pass we scan through
internal pages, looking for downlinks to the empty pages.
Deleting internal pages is still not supported, like in nbtree, the last
child of an internal page is never deleted. That means that if you have a
workload where new keys are always inserted to different area than where
old keys are removed, the index will still grow without bound. But the rate
of growth will be an order of magnitude slower than before.

This adds a flag "deterministic" to collations. If that is false,
such a collation disables various optimizations that assume that
strings are equal only if they are byte-wise equal. That then allows
use cases such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive comparisons
or handling of strings with different Unicode normal forms.
This functionality is only supported with the ICU provider. At least
glibc doesn't appear to have any locales that work in a
nondeterministic way, so it's not worth supporting this for the libc
provider.
The term "deterministic comparison" in this context is from Unicode
Technical Standard #10
(https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Deterministic_Comparison).
This patch makes changes in three areas:
- CREATE COLLATION DDL changes and system catalog changes to support
this new flag.
- Many executor nodes and auxiliary code are extended to track
collations. Previously, this code would just throw away collation
information, because the eventually-called user-defined functions
didn't use it since they only cared about equality, which didn't
need collation information.
- String data type functions that do equality comparisons and hashing
are changed to take the (non-)deterministic flag into account. For
comparison, this just means skipping various shortcuts and tie
breakers that use byte-wise comparison. For hashing, we first need
to convert the input string to a canonical "sort key" using the ICU
analogue of strxfrm().

When DefineIndex recurses to create constraints on partitions, it needs

dependencies. However, in the course of fixing the DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL_AUTO

clobbered the return value, causing the recorded OID to be of the wrong

to indescribable objects :-( My sin (in commit bdc3d7fa23, while

These commands allow the argument type list to be omitted if there is
just one object that matches by name. However, if that syntax was
used with DROP IF EXISTS and there was more than one match, you got
a "function ... does not exist, skipping" notice message rather than a
truthful complaint about the ambiguity. This was basically due to
poor factorization and a rats-nest of logic, so refactor the relevant
lookup code to make it cleaner.
Note that this amounts to narrowing the scope of which sorts of
error conditions IF EXISTS will bypass. Per discussion, we only
intend it to skip no-such-object cases, not multiple-possible-matches

Teach contrib/amcheck's bt_index_parent_check() function to take
advantage of the uniqueness property of heapkeyspace indexes in support
of a new verification option: non-pivot tuples (non-highkey tuples on
the leaf level) can optionally be re-found using a new search for each,
that starts from the root page. If a tuple cannot be re-found, report
that the index is corrupt.
The new "rootdescend" verification option is exhaustive, and can
therefore make a call to bt_index_parent_check() take a lot longer.
Re-finding tuples during verification is mostly intended as an option
for backend developers, since the corruption scenarios that it alone is
uniquely capable of detecting seem fairly far-fetched.
For example, "rootdescend" verification is much more likely to detect
corruption of the least significant byte of a key from a pivot tuple in
the root page of a B-Tree that already has at least three levels.
Typically, only a few tuples on a cousin leaf page are at risk of
"getting overlooked" by index scans in this scenario. The corrupt key
in the root page is only slightly corrupt: corrupt enough to give wrong
answers to some queries, and yet not corrupt enough to allow the problem
to be detected without verifying agreement between the leaf page and the
root page, skipping at least one internal page level. The existing
bt_index_parent_check() checks never cross more than a single level.

Teach nbtree to give some consideration to how "distinguishing"
candidate leaf page split points are. This should not noticeably affect
the balance of free space within each half of the split, while still
making suffix truncation truncate away significantly more attributes on
average.
The logic for choosing a leaf split point now uses a fallback mode in
the case where the page is full of duplicates and it isn't possible to
find even a minimally distinguishing split point. When the page is full
of duplicates, the split should pack the left half very tightly, while
leaving the right half mostly empty. Our assumption is that logical
duplicates will almost always be inserted in ascending heap TID order
with v4 indexes. This strategy leaves most of the free space on the
half of the split that will likely be where future logical duplicates of
the same value need to be placed.
The number of cycles added is not very noticeable. This is important
because deciding on a split point takes place while at least one
exclusive buffer lock is held. We avoid using authoritative insertion
scankey comparisons to save cycles, unlike suffix truncation proper. We
use a faster binary comparison instead.
Note that even pg_upgrade'd v3 indexes make use of these optimizations.
Benchmarking has shown that even v3 indexes benefit, despite the fact
that suffix truncation will only truncate non-key attributes in INCLUDE
indexes. Grouping relatively similar tuples together is beneficial in
and of itself, since it reduces the number of leaf pages that must be
accessed by subsequent index scans.

Make nbtree treat all index tuples as having a heap TID attribute.
Index searches can distinguish duplicates by heap TID, since heap TID is
always guaranteed to be unique. This general approach has numerous
benefits for performance, and is prerequisite to teaching VACUUM to
perform "retail index tuple deletion".
Naively adding a new attribute to every pivot tuple has unacceptable
overhead (it bloats internal pages), so suffix truncation of pivot
tuples is added. This will usually truncate away the "extra" heap TID
attribute from pivot tuples during a leaf page split, and may also
truncate away additional user attributes. This can increase fan-out,
especially in a multi-column index. Truncation can only occur at the
attribute granularity, which isn't particularly effective, but works
well enough for now. A future patch may add support for truncating
"within" text attributes by generating truncated key values using new
opclass infrastructure.
Only new indexes (BTREE_VERSION 4 indexes) will have insertions that
treat heap TID as a tiebreaker attribute, or will have pivot tuples
undergo suffix truncation during a leaf page split (on-disk
compatibility with versions 2 and 3 is preserved). Upgrades to version
4 cannot be performed on-the-fly, unlike upgrades from version 2 to
version 3. contrib/amcheck continues to work with version 2 and 3
indexes, while also enforcing stricter invariants when verifying version
4 indexes. These stricter invariants are the same invariants described
by "3.1.12 Sequencing" from the Lehman and Yao paper.
A later patch will enhance the logic used by nbtree to pick a split
point. This patch is likely to negatively impact performance without
smarter choices around the precise point to split leaf pages at. Making
these two mostly-distinct sets of enhancements into distinct commits
seems like it might clarify their design, even though neither commit is
particularly useful on its own.
The maximum allowed size of new tuples is reduced by an amount equal to
the space required to store an extra MAXALIGN()'d TID in a new high key
during leaf page splits. The user-facing definition of the "1/3 of a
page" restriction is already imprecise, and so does not need to be
revised. However, there should be a compatibility note in the v12
release notes.

Use dedicated struct to represent nbtree insertion scan keys. Having a
dedicated struct makes the difference between search type scankeys and
insertion scankeys a lot clearer, and simplifies the signature of
several related functions. This is based on a suggestion by Andrey
Lepikhov.
Streamline how unique index insertions cache binary search progress.
Cache the state of in-progress binary searches within _bt_check_unique()
for later instead of having callers avoid repeating the binary search in
an ad-hoc manner. This makes it easy to add a new optimization:
_bt_check_unique() now falls out of its loop immediately in the common
case where it's already clear that there couldn't possibly be a
duplicate.
The new _bt_check_unique() scheme makes it a lot easier to manage cached
binary search effort afterwards, from within _bt_findinsertloc(). This
is needed for the upcoming patch to make nbtree tuples unique by
treating heap TID as a final tiebreaker column. Unique key binary
searches need to restore lower and upper bounds. They cannot simply
continue to use the >= lower bound as the offset to insert at, because
the heap TID tiebreaker column must be used in comparisons for the
restored binary search (unlike the original _bt_check_unique() binary
search, where scankey's heap TID column must be omitted).

Originally, if libpq got a failure (e.g., ECONNRESET) while trying to
send data to the server, it would just report that and wash its hands
of the matter. It was soon found that that wasn't a very pleasant way
of coping with server-initiated disconnections, so we introduced a hack
(pqHandleSendFailure) in the code that sends queries to make it peek
ahead for server error reports before reporting the send failure.
It now emerges that related cases can occur during connection setup;
in particular, as of TLS 1.3 it's unsafe to assume that SSL connection
failures will be reported by SSL_connect rather than during our first
send attempt. We could have fixed that in a hacky way by applying
pqHandleSendFailure after a startup packet send failure, but
(a) pqHandleSendFailure explicitly disclaims suitability for use in any
state except query startup, and (b) the problem still potentially exists
for other send attempts in libpq.
Instead, let's fix this in a more general fashion by eliminating
pqHandleSendFailure altogether, and instead arranging to postpone
all reports of send failures in libpq until after we've made an
attempt to read and process server messages. The send failure won't
be reported at all if we find a server message or detect input EOF.
(Note: this removes one of the reasons why libpq typically overwrites,
rather than appending to, conn->errorMessage: pqHandleSendFailure needed
that behavior so that the send failure report would be replaced if we
got a server message or read failure report. Eventually I'd like to get
rid of that overwrite behavior altogether, but today is not that day.
For the moment, pqSendSome is assuming that its callees will overwrite
not append to conn->errorMessage.)
Possibly this change should get back-patched someday; but it needs
testing first, so let's not consider that till after v12 beta.

Commit 6f6a6d8b1 introduced a delay of up to 2 seconds if we're trying
to request a checkpoint but the checkpointer hasn't started yet (or,
much less likely, our kill() call fails). However buildfarm experience
shows that that's not quite enough for slow or heavily-loaded machines.
There's no good reason to assume that the checkpointer won't start
eventually, so we may as well make the timeout much longer, say 60 sec.
However, if the caller didn't say CHECKPOINT_WAIT, it seems like a bad
idea to be waiting at all, much less for as long as 60 sec. We can
remove the need for that, and make this whole thing more robust, by
adjusting the code so that the existence of a pending checkpoint
request is clear from the contents of shared memory, and making sure
that the checkpointer process will notice it at startup even if it did
not get a signal. In this way there's no need for a non-CHECKPOINT_WAIT
call to wait at all; if it can't send the signal, it can nonetheless
assume that the checkpointer will eventually service the request.
A potential downside of this change is that "kill -INT" on the checkpointer
process is no longer enough to trigger a checkpoint, should anyone be
relying on something so hacky. But there's no obvious reason to do it
like that rather than issuing a plain old CHECKPOINT command, so we'll
assume that nobody is. There doesn't seem to be a way to preserve this
undocumented quasi-feature without introducing race conditions.

buildfarm failures, back-patch to all supported branches.

Running ALTER TABLE on any table will check if a TOAST table needs to be
added. On shared tables, this would previously fail, thus effectively
disabling ALTER TABLE for those tables. On (non-shared) system
catalogs, on the other hand, it would add a TOAST table, even though we
don't really want TOAST tables on some system catalogs. In some cases,
it would also fail with an error "AccessExclusiveLock required to add
toast table.", depending on what locks the ALTER TABLE actions had
already taken.
So instead, just ignore attempts to add TOAST tables to such tables,
outside of bootstrap mode, pretending they don't need one.
This allows running ALTER TABLE on such tables without messing up the
TOAST situation. Legitimate uses for ALTER TABLE on system catalogs
include setting reloptions (say, fillfactor or autovacuum settings).

Commit f2dec34e1 changed things so that printtup's output stringinfo
buffer was allocated outside the per-row temporary context, not inside
it. This creates a need to free that buffer explicitly when the temp
context is freed, but that was overlooked. In most cases, this is all
happening inside a portal or executor context that will go away shortly
anyhow, but that's not always true. Notably, the stringinfo ends up
getting leaked when JDBC uses row-at-a-time fetches. For a query
that returns wide rows, that adds up after awhile.
