If the record argument is NULL and has no declared type more concrete
than RECORD, we can't extract useful information about the desired
rowtype from it. In this case, see if we're in FROM with an AS clause,
and if so extract the needed rowtype info from AS.
It worked like this before v11, but commit 37a795a60 removed the
behavior, reasoning that it was undocumented, inefficient, and utterly
not self-consistent. If you want to take type info from an AS clause,
you should be using the json_to_record() family of functions not the
json_populate_record() family. Also, it was already the case that
the "populate" functions would fail for a null-valued RECORD input
(with an unfriendly "record type has not been registered" error)
when there wasn't an AS clause at hand, and it wasn't obvious that
that behavior wasn't OK when there was one. However, it emerges
that some people were depending on this to work, and indeed the
rather off-point error message you got if you left off AS encouraged
slapping on AS without switching to the json_to_record() family.
Hence, put back the fallback behavior of looking for AS. While at it,
improve the run-time error you get when there's no place to obtain type
info; we can do a lot better than "record type has not been registered".
(We can't, unfortunately, easily improve the parse-time error message
that leads people down this path in the first place.)
While at it, I refactored the code a bit to avoid duplicating the
same logic in several different places.

If a table inherits from multiple unrelated parents, we must disallow
changing the type of a column inherited from multiple such parents, else
it would be out of step with the other parents. However, it's possible
for the column to ultimately be inherited from just one common ancestor,
in which case a change starting from that ancestor should still be
allowed. (I would not be excited about preserving that option, were
it not that we have regression test cases exercising it already ...)
It's slightly annoying that this patch looks different from the logic
with the same end goal in renameatt(), and more annoying that it
requires an extra syscache lookup to make the test. However, the
recursion logic is quite different in the two functions, and a
back-patched bug fix is no place to be trying to unify them.
Per report from Manuel Rigger. Back-patch to 9.5. The bug exists in
9.4 too (and doubtless much further back); but the way the recursion
is done in 9.4 is a good bit different, so that substantial refactoring
would be needed to fix it in 9.4. I'm disinclined to do that, or risk
introducing new bugs, for a bug that has escaped notice for this long.

Commit 4b93f5799 rearranged things in plpgsql to make it cope better with
composite types changing underneath it intra-session. However, I failed to
consider the case of a composite type being dropped and recreated entirely.
In my defense, the previous coding didn't consider that possibility at all
either --- but it would accidentally work so long as you didn't change the
type's field list, because the built-at-compile-time list of component
variables would then still match the type's new definition. The new
coding, however, occasionally tries to re-look-up the type by OID, and
then fails to find the dropped type.
To fix this, we need to save the TypeName struct, and then redo the type
OID lookup from that. Of course that's expensive, so we don't want to do
it every time we need the type OID. This can be fixed in the same way that
4b93f5799 dealt with changes to composite types' definitions: keep an eye
on the type's typcache entry to see if its tupledesc has been invalidated.
(Perhaps, at some point, this mechanism should be generalized so it can
work for non-composite types too; but for now, plpgsql only tries to
cope with intra-session redefinitions of composites.)
I'm slightly hesitant to back-patch this into v11, because it changes
the contents of struct PLpgSQL_type as well as the signature of
plpgsql_build_datatype(), so in principle it could break code that is
poking into the innards of plpgsql. However, the only popular extension
of that ilk is pldebugger, and it doesn't seem to be affected. Since
this is a regression for people who were relying on the old behavior,
it seems worth taking the small risk of causing compatibility issues.

Previously, async.c got rid of duplicate notifications by scanning
the list of pending events to compare each one to the proposed new
event. This works okay for very small numbers of distinct events,
but degrades as O(N^2) for many events. We can improve matters by
using a hash table to probe for duplicates. So as not to add a
lot of overhead for the simple cases that the code did handle well
before, create the hash table only once a (sub)transaction has
queued more than 16 distinct notify events.
A downside is that we now have to do per-event work to propagate
a successful subtransaction's notify events up to its parent.
(But this isn't significant unless the subtransaction had many
events, in which case the O(N^2) behavior would have been in
play already, so we still come out ahead.)
We can make some lemonade out of this lemon, though: since we must
examine each event anyway, it's now possible to de-duplicate events
fully, rather than skipping that for events merged up from
subtransactions. Hence, remove the old weasel wording in notify.sgml
about whether de-duplication happens or not, and adjust the test
case in async-notify.spec that exhibited the old behavior.
While at it, rearrange the definition of struct Notification to make
it more compact and require just one palloc per event, rather than
two or three. This saves space when there are a lot of events,
in fact more than enough to buy back the space needed for the hash
table.

ALTER SYSTEM itself normally won't make duplicate entries (although
up till this patch, it was possible to confuse it by writing case
variants of a GUC's name). However, if some external tool has appended
entries to the file, that could result in duplicate entries for a single
GUC name. In such a situation, ALTER SYSTEM did exactly the wrong thing,
because it replaced or removed only the first matching entry, leaving
the later one(s) still there and hence still determining the active value.
This patch fixes that by making ALTER SYSTEM sweep through the file and
remove all matching entries, then (if not ALTER SYSTEM RESET) append the
new setting to the end. This means entries will be in order of last
setting rather than first setting, but that shouldn't hurt anything.
Also, make the comparisons case-insensitive so that the right things
happen if you do, say, ALTER SYSTEM SET "TimeZone" = 'whatever'.
This has been broken since ALTER SYSTEM was invented, so back-patch

Commit d2086b08b0 removed almost all cases where nbtree must release a
read buffer lock and acquire a write buffer lock instead, so remaining
cases in which that's still necessary are not notable enough to appear
in the nbtree README.
More importantly, holding on to a buffer pin in cases where nbtree must
trade a read lock for a write lock is very unlikely to save any I/O.
This seems to have been a long overlooked throwback to a time when
nbtree cared about write-ordering dependencies, and performed
synchronous buffer writes. It hasn't worked that way in many years.
Use the PageIndexTupleOverwrite() bufpage.c routine within nbtree

In the wake of commit 1cff1b95a, the result of list_concat no longer
shares the ListCells of the second input. Therefore, we can replace
"list_concat(x, list_copy(y))" with just "list_concat(x, y)".
To improve call sites that were list_copy'ing the first argument,
or both arguments, invent "list_concat_copy()" which produces a new
list sharing no ListCells with either input. (This is a bit faster
than "list_concat(list_copy(x), y)" because it makes the result list
the right size to start with.)
In call sites that were not list_copy'ing the second argument, the new
semantics mean that we are usually leaking the second List's storage,
since typically there is no remaining pointer to it. We considered
inventing another list_copy variant that would list_free the second
input, but concluded that for most call sites it isn't worth worrying
about, given the relative compactness of the new List representation.
(Note that in cases where such leakage would happen, the old code
already leaked the second List's header; so we're only discussing
the size of the leak not whether there is one. I did adjust two or
three places that had been troubling to free that header so that
they manually free the whole second List.)

In some edge cases, when same Unicode codepoints have different binary

This failed with either "tuple already updated by self" or "duplicate
key value violates unique constraint", depending on whether the table
had previously been analyzed or not. The reason is that ANALYZE tried
to insert or update the same pg_statistic rows twice, and there was no
CommandCounterIncrement between. So add one. The same case works fine
outside a transaction block, because then there's a whole transaction
boundary between, as a consequence of the way VACUUM works.
This issue has been latent all along, but the problem was unreachable
before commit 11d8d72c2 added the ability to specify multiple tables

We were applying constraint exclusion on the partition constraint when
generating pruning steps for a clause, but only for the rather
restricted situation of them being boolean OR operators; however it is
possible to have differently shaped clauses that also benefit from
constraint exclusion. This applies particularly to the default
partition since their constraints are in essence a long list of OR'ed
subclauses ... but it applies to other cases too. So in certain cases
we're scanning partitions that we don't need to.
Remove the specialized code in OR clauses, and add a generally
applicable test of the clause refuting the partition constraint; mark
the whole pruning operation as contradictory if it hits.
This has the unwanted side-effect of testing some (most? all?)
constraints more than once if constraint_exclusion=on. That seems
unavoidable as far as I can tell without some additional work, but
that's not the recommended setting for that parameter anyway.
However, because this imposes additional processing cost for all
queries using partitioned tables, I decided not to backpatch this

Those routines have been slacking the initialization of the tracking

When querying a partitioned table containing a default partition, we
were wrongly deciding to include it in the scan too early in the
process, failing to exclude it in some cases. If we reinterpret the
PruneStepResult.scan_default flag slightly, we can do a better job at
detecting that it can be excluded. The change is that we avoid setting
the flag for that pruning step unless the step absolutely requires the
default partition to be scanned (in contrast with the previous
arrangement, which was to set it unless the step was able to prune it).
So get_matching_partitions() must explicitly check the partition that
each returned bound value corresponds to in order to determine whether
the default one needs to be included, rather than relying on the flag
from the final step result.

In 5f32b29c18 I changed the creation of HashState.hashkeys to
actually use HashState as the parent (instead of HashJoinState, which
was incorrect, as they were executed below HashState), to fix the
problem of hashkeys expressions otherwise relying on slot types
appropriate for HashJoinState, rather than HashState as would be
correct. That reliance was only introduced in 12, which is why it
previously worked to use HashJoinState as the parent (although I'd be
unsurprised if there were problematic cases).
Unfortunately that's not a sufficient solution, because before this
commit, the to-be-hashed expressions referenced inner/outer as
appropriate for the HashJoin, not Hash. That didn't have obvious bad
consequences, because the slots containing the tuples were put into
ecxt_innertuple when hashing a tuple for HashState (even though Hash
doesn't have an inner plan).
There are less common cases where this can cause visible problems
however (rather than just confusion when inspecting such executor
trees). E.g. "ERROR: bogus varno: 65000", when explaining queries
containing a HashJoin where the subsidiary Hash node's hash keys
reference a subplan. While normally hashkeys aren't displayed by
EXPLAIN, if one of those expressions references a subplan, that
subplan may be printed as part of the Hash node - which then failed
because an inner plan was referenced, and Hash doesn't have that.
It seems quite possible that there's other broken cases, too.
Fix the problem by properly splitting the expression for the HashJoin
and Hash nodes at plan time, and have them reference the proper
subsidiary node. While other workarounds are possible, fixing this
correctly seems easy enough. It was a pretty ugly hack to have
ExecInitHashJoin put the expression into the already initialized
HashState, in the first place.
I decided to not just split inner/outer hashkeys inside
make_hashjoin(), but also to separate out hashoperators and
hashcollations at plan time. Otherwise we would have ended up having
two very similar loops, one at plan time and the other during executor
startup. The work seems to more appropriately belong to plan time,
anyway.

This allows simplification of the plan tree in some common usage
patterns: we can get rid of a join to the function RTE.
In principle we could pull up any immutable expression, but restricting
it to Consts avoids the risk that multiple evaluations of the expression
might cost more than we can save. (Possibly this could be improved in
future --- but we've more or less promised people that putting a function
in FROM guarantees single evaluation, so we'd have to tread carefully.)
To do this, we need to rearrange when eval_const_expressions()
happens for expressions in function RTEs. I moved it to
inline_set_returning_functions(), which already has to iterate over
every function RTE, and in consequence renamed that function to
preprocess_function_rtes(). A useful consequence is that
inline_set_returning_function() no longer has to do this for itself,
simplifying that code.
In passing, break out pull_up_simple_subquery's code that knows where
everything that needs pullup_replace_vars() processing is, so that
the new pull_up_constant_function() routine can share it. We'd
gotten away with one-and-a-half copies of that code so far, since
pull_up_simple_values() could assume that a lot of cases didn't apply
to it --- but I don't think pull_up_constant_function() can make any
simplifying assumptions. Might as well make pull_up_simple_values()
use it too.
(Possibly this refactoring should go further: maybe we could share
some of the code to fill in the pullup_replace_vars_context struct?
For now, I left it that the callers fill that completely.)
Note: the one existing test case that this patch changes has to be
changed because inlining its function RTEs would destroy the point
of the test, namely to check join order.

Add sort support for inet, including support for abbreviated keys.
Testing has shown that this reduces the time taken to sort medium to
large inet/cidr inputs by ~50-60% in realistic cases.

Commit a1c1af2a1 added logic in the deadlock checker to handle lock
grouping, but it was very poorly tested, as evidenced by the bug
fixed in 3420851a2. Add a test case that exercises that a bit better
(and catches the bug --- if you revert 3420851a2, this will hang).
Since it's pretty hard to get parallel workers to take exclusive
regular locks that their parents don't already have, this test operates
by creating a deadlock among advisory locks taken in parallel workers.
To make that happen, we must override the parallel-safety labeling of
the advisory-lock functions, which we do by putting them in mislabeled,
non-inlinable wrapper functions.
We also have to remove the redundant PreventAdvisoryLocksInParallelMode
checks in lockfuncs.c. That seems fine though; if some user accidentally
does what this test is intentionally doing, not much harm will ensue.
(If there are any remaining bugs that are reachable that way, they're
probably reachable in other ways too.)
