4d67357dbf Tolerate EINVAL when calling fsync() on a directory.
Previously, we tolerated EBADF as a way for the operating system to
indicate that it doesn't support fsync() on a directory.  Tolerate
EINVAL too, for older versions of Linux CIFS.

Bug #15636.  Back-patch all the way.

30dcb6270c Tolerate ENOSYS failure from sync_file_range().
One unintended consequence of commit 9ccdd7f6 was that Windows WSL
users started getting a panic whenever we tried to initiate data
flushing with sync_file_range(), because WSL does not implement that
system call.  Previously, they got a stream of periodic warnings,
which was also undesirable but at least ignorable.

Prevent the panic by handling ENOSYS specially and skipping the panic
promotion with data_sync_elevel().  Also suppress future attempts
after the first such failure so that the pre-existing problem of
noisy warnings is improved.

Back-patch to 9.6 (older branches were not affected in this way by
9ccdd7f6).

07fba9ad9b Fix plan created for inherited UPDATE/DELETE with all tables excluded.
In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has
been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with
making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node.  While certainly
there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible
problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns
when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any
statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them.

Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to
stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more
effort here.

It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has
known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c),
so back-patch to all supported branches.

c08b65bc43 Fix dbtoepub output file name
In previous releases, the input file of dbtoepub was postgres.xml, and
dbtoepub knows to derive the output file name postgres.epub from that
automatically.  But now the intput file is postgres.sgml (since
postgres.sgml is itself an XML file and we no longer need the
intermediate postgres.xml file), but dbtoepub doesn't know how to deal
with the .sgml suffix, so the automatically derived output file name
becomes postgres.sgml.epub.  Fix by adding an explicit -o option.

e22bfe94e4 Speed up match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() when there are many ECs.
Check ec_relids before bothering to iterate through the EC members.
On a perhaps extreme, but still real-world, query in which
match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() accounts for the bulk of the
planner's runtime, this saves nearly 40% of the runtime.  It's a bit
of a stopgap fix, but it's simple enough to be back-patched to 9.6

93ec0c90cd Fix incorrect strictness test for ArrayCoerceExpr expressions.
The recursion in contain_nonstrict_functions_walker() was done wrong,
causing the strictness check to be bypassed for a parse node that
is the immediate input of an ArrayCoerceExpr node.  This could allow,
for example, incorrect decisions about whether a strict SQL function
can be inlined.

I didn't add a regression test, because (a) the bug is so narrow
and (b) I couldn't think of a test case that wasn't dependent on a
large number of other behaviors, to the point where it would likely
soon rot to the point of not testing what it was intended to.

I broke this in commit c12d570fa, so back-patch to v11.

fbec6fa38a Fix DEFAULT-handling in multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.
INSERT ... VALUES for a single VALUES row is implemented differently
from a multi-row VALUES list, which causes inconsistent behaviour in
the way that DEFAULT items are handled. In particular, when inserting
into an auto-updatable view on top of a table with a column default, a
DEFAULT item in a single VALUES row gets correctly replaced with the
table column's default, but for a multi-row VALUES list it is replaced
with NULL.

Fix this by allowing rewriteValuesRTE() to leave DEFAULT items in the
VALUES list untouched if the target relation is an auto-updatable view
and has no column default, deferring DEFAULT-expansion until the query
against the base relation is rewritten. For all other types of target
relation, including tables and trigger- and rule-updatable views, we
must continue to replace DEFAULT items with NULL in the absence of a
column default.

This is somewhat complicated by the fact that if an auto-updatable
view has DO ALSO rules attached, the VALUES lists for the product
queries need to be handled differently from the original query, since
the product queries need to act like rule-updatable views whereas the
original query has auto-updatable view semantics.

Back-patch to all supported versions.

1d93d18045 Fix race in dsm_unpin_segment() when handles are reused.
Teach dsm_unpin_segment() to skip segments that are in the process
of being destroyed by another backend, when searching for a handle.
Such a segment cannot possibly be the one we are looking for, even
if its handle matches.  Another slot might hold a recently created
segment that has the same handle value by coincidence, and we need
to keep searching for that one.

The bug caused rare "cannot unpin a segment that is not pinned"
errors on 10 and 11.  Similar to commit 6c0fb941 for dsm_attach().

4eca1905d3 Fix CREATE VIEW to allow zero-column views.
We should logically have allowed this case when we allowed zero-column
tables, but it was overlooked.

Although this might be thought a feature addition, it's really a bug
fix, because it was possible to create a zero-column view via
the convert-table-to-view code path, and then you'd have a situation
where dump/reload would fail.  Hence, back-patch to all supported
branches.

Arrange the added test cases to provide coverage of the related
pg_dump code paths (since these views will be dumped and reloaded
during the pg_upgrade regression test).  I also made them test
the case where pg_dump has to postpone the view rule into post-data,
which disturbingly had no regression coverage before.

faf132449c Fix race in dsm_attach() when handles are reused.
DSM handle values can be reused as soon as the underlying shared memory
object has been destroyed.  That means that for a brief moment we
might have two DSM slots with the same handle.  While trying to attach,
if we encounter a slot with refcnt == 1, meaning that it is currently
being destroyed, we should continue our search in case the same handle
exists in another slot.

The race manifested as a rare "dsa_area could not attach to segment"
error, and was more likely in 10 and 11 due to the lack of distinct
seed for random() in parallel workers.  It was made very unlikely in
in master by commit 197e4af9, and older releases don't usually create
new DSM segments in background workers so it was also unlikely there.

This fixes the root cause of bug report #15585, in which the error
could also sometimes result in a self-deadlock in the error path.
It's not yet clear if further changes are needed to avoid that failure
mode.

364857f738 Clean up planner confusion between ncolumns and nkeycolumns.
We're only going to consider key columns when creating indexquals,
so there is no point in having the outer loops in indxpath.c iterate
further than nkeycolumns.

Doing so in match_pathkeys_to_index() is actually wrong, and would have
caused crashes by now, except that we have no index AMs supporting both
amcanorderbyop and amcaninclude.

It's also wrong in relation_has_unique_index_for().  The effect there is
to fail to prove uniqueness even when the index does prove it, if there
are extra columns.

Also future-proof examine_variable() for the day when extra columns can
be expressions, and fix what's either a thinko or just an oversight in
btcostestimate(): we should consider the number of key columns, not the
total, when deciding whether to derate correlation.

None of these things seemed important enough to risk changing in a
just-before-wrap patch, but since we're past the release wrap window,
time to fix 'em.

c2e0954be3 Relax overly strict assertion
Ever since its birth, ReorderBufferBuildTupleCidHash() has contained an
assertion that a catalog tuple cannot change Cmax after acquiring one.  But
that's wrong: if a subtransaction executes DDL that affects that catalog
tuple, and later aborts and another DDL affects the same tuple, it will
change Cmax.  Relax the assertion to merely verify that the Cmax remains
valid and monotonically increasing, instead.

Add a test that tickles the relevant code.

I'm not sure whether those reports are actually giving the wrong

eb68d71f99 Fix indexable-row-comparison logic to account for covering indexes.
indxpath.c needs a good deal more attention for covering indexes than
it's gotten.  But so far as I can tell, the only really awful breakage
is in expand_indexqual_rowcompare (nee adjust_rowcompare_for_index),
which was only half fixed in c266ed31a.  The other problems aren't
bad enough to take the risk of a just-before-wrap fix.

The problem here is that if the leading column of a row comparison
matches an index (allowing this code to be reached), and some later
column doesn't match the index, it'll nonetheless believe that that
column matches the first included index column.  Typically that'll
lead to an error like "operator M is not a member of opfamily N" as
a result of fetching a garbage opfamily OID.  But with enough bad
luck, maybe a broken plan would be generated.

ee6370978f Solve cross-version-upgrade testing problem induced by 1fb57af92.
Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect
I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a
transform object that relies on that function, so the name
change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name
used in the older branches doesn't match.

Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the
aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a
language transform support function), fix by just choosing
a different random builtin function with the right signature.
Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe.

I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other
copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those
aren't directly contributing to the testing problem.

027b5a300a Call set_rel_pathlist_hook before generate_gather_paths, not after.
The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement
that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths
constructed for a base relation.  In practice, though, trying to change
the set of partial paths was impossible.  Adding one didn't work because
(a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code,
and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe,
because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that
is already embedded in some Gather path(s).  Nor could the hook safely
remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be
embedded in Gathers.

Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired,
and then gather.  In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering
by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even
if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could
not.

Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei.  Back-patch to 9.6 where Gather paths
were added.

6455c65882 Allow to reset execGrouping.c style tuple hashtables.
This has the advantage that the comparator expression, the table's
slot, etc do not have to be rebuilt. Additionally the simplehash.h
hashtable within the tuple hashtable now keeps its previous size and
doesn't need to be reallocated. That both reduces allocator overhead,
and improves performance in cases where the input estimation was off
by a significant factor.

To avoid an API/ABI break, the new parameter is exposed via the new
BuildTupleHashTableExt(), and BuildTupleHashTable() now is a wrapper
around the former, that continues to allocate the table itself in the
tablecxt.

Using this fixes performance issues discovered in the two bugs
referenced. This commit however has not converted the callers, that's
done in a separate commit.

9cf37a527c Plug leak in BuildTupleHashTable by creating ExprContext in correct context.
In bf6c614a2f I added a expr context to evaluate the grouping
expression. Unfortunately the code I added initialized them while in
the calling context, rather the table context.  Additionally, I used
CreateExprContext() rather than CreateStandaloneExprContext(), which
creates the econtext in the estate's query context.

Fix that by using CreateStandaloneExprContext when in the table's
tablecxt. As we rely on the memory being freed by a memory context
reset that means that the econtext's shutdown callbacks aren't being
called, but that seems ok as the expressions are tightly controlled
due to ExecBuildGroupingEqual().

8e2956734b Defend against null error message reported by libxml2.
While this isn't really supposed to happen, it can occur in OOM
situations and perhaps others.  Instead of crashing, substitute
"(no message provided)".

I didn't worry about localizing this text, since we aren't
localizing anything else here; besides, if we're on the edge of
OOM, it's unlikely gettext() would work.

9d6d2b2134 Ensure that foreign scans with lateral refs are planned correctly.
As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw
neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the
relation has lateral_relids.  Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake,
so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix
in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally.

Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct
the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid
examples for external FDWs.

Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized
foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to
create_foreignscan_path.  This shouldn't pose much of a problem for
existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such
paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with
lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw).

Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same
error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

8722d2cbc0 Fix searchpath and module location for pg_rewind and ssl TAP tests
The modules RewindTest.pm and ServerSetup.pm are really only useful for
TAP tests, so they really belong in the TAP test directories. In
addition, ServerSetup.pm is renamed to SSLServer.pm.

The test scripts have their own directories added to the search path so
that the relocated modules will be found, regardless of where the tests
are run from, even on modern perl where "." is no longer in the
searchpath.

d850af428d Doc: Update the documentation for row movement behavior across partitions.
In commit f16241bef7, we have changed the behavior for concurrent updates
that move row to a different partition, but forgot to update the docs.
Previously when an UPDATE command causes a row to move from one partition
to another, there is a chance that another concurrent UPDATE or DELETE
misses this row.  However, now we raise a serialization failure error in
such a case.

2f54166668 Avoid amcheck inline compression false positives.
The previous tacit assumption that index_form_tuple() hides differences
in the TOAST state of its input datums was wrong.  Normalize input
varlena datums by decompressing compressed values, and forming a new
index tuple for fingerprinting using uncompressed inputs.  The final
normalized representation may actually be compressed once again within
index_form_tuple(), though that shouldn't matter.  When the original
tuple is found to have no datums that are compressed inline, fingerprint
the original tuple directly.

Normalization avoids false positive reports of corruption in certain
cases.  For example, the executor can apply toasting with some inline
compression to an entire heap tuple because its input has a single
external TOAST pointer.  Varlena datums for other attributes that are
not particularly good candidates for inline compression can be
compressed in the heap tuple in passing, without the representation of
the same values in index tuples ever receiving concomitant inline
compression.

Add a test case to recreate the issue in a simpler though less realistic
way: by exploiting differences in pg_attribute.attstorage between heap
and index relations.

This bug was discovered by me during testing of an upcoming set of nbtree
enhancements.  It was also independently reported by Andreas Kunert, as
bug #15597.  His test case was rather more realistic than the one I
ended up using.

45ae2031ec Propagate lateral-reference information to indirect descendant relations.
create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral
references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those
markings to appendrel children of the original base relations.  But the
original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants
(grandchildren etc).  During v11 development we noticed that this was
wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just
as wrong for any appendrel.  While the case can't arise for appendrels
derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat
appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL
subqueries.  Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral
references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether
unparameterized paths can be built.  It's not very clear whether that
leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests
that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation.  Still,
it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add
later.

To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents,
not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs.  We can still do it in one
pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor
relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that.
While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by
traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for
each appendrel parent relation.

Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix
that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet).
