Fix use-after-free bug with AfterTriggersTableData.storeslot
AfterTriggerSaveEvent() wrongly allocates the slot in execution-span

a transaction-span context, because that's where the enclosing
AfterTriggersTableData instance belongs into.

Reinstate HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY|HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED as allowed
Commit 866e24d47d added an assert that HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and
HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED cannot appear together, on the faulty assumption that
the latter necessarily referred to an update and not a tuple lock; but
that's wrong, because SELECT FOR UPDATE can use precisely that
combination, as evidenced by the amcheck test case added here.

Remove the Assert(), and also patch amcheck's verify_heapam.c to not
complain if the combination is found.  Also, out of overabundance of
caution, update (across all branches) README.tuplock to be more explicit

Tom Lane 6e6fecf495 Fix another ancient bug in parsing of BRE-mode regular expressions.
While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug
squashed in commit afcc8772e had a sibling: next() failed to return
a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}"
quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode.  Again, this could result
in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in
basic mode.  For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that
sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have
accidentally been zero from the start.  The failure can be provoked
repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0".

Heikki Linnakangas 6e437ce5a6 Make ExecGetInsertedCols() and friends more robust and improve comments.
If ExecGetInsertedCols(), ExecGetUpdatedCols() or ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols()
were called with a ResultRelInfo that's not in the range table and isn't a
partition routing target, the functions would dereference a NULL pointer,
relinfo->ri_RootResultRelInfo. Such ResultRelInfos are created when firing
RI triggers in tables that are not modified directly. None of the current
callers of these functions pass such relations, so this isn't a live bug,
but let's make them more robust.

Also update comment in ResultRelInfo; after commit 6214e2b228,
ri_RangeTableIndex is zero for ResultRelInfos created for partition tuple
routing.

While cleaning up after a parallel query or parallel index creation that

The error handling path would then fail to clean up the files when it

Modern gcc and clang compilers offer alignment sanitizers, which help to detect
pointer misalignment.  However, our codebase already contains x86-specific
crc32 computation code, which uses unalignment access.  Thankfully, those

Tom Lane a28df6fa30 Avoid divide-by-zero in regex_selectivity() with long fixed prefix.
Given a regex pattern with a very long fixed prefix (approaching 500
characters), the result of pow(FIXED_CHAR_SEL, fixed_prefix_len) can
underflow to zero.  Typically the preceding selectivity calculation
would have underflowed as well, so that we compute 0/0 and get NaN.
In released branches this leads to an assertion failure later on.
That doesn't happen in HEAD, for reasons I've not explored yet,
but it's surely still a bug.

To fix, just skip the division when the pow() result is zero, so
that we'll (most likely) return a zero selectivity estimate.  In
the edge cases where "sel" didn't yet underflow, perhaps this
isn't desirable, but I'm not sure that the case is worth spending
a lot of effort on.  The results of regex_selectivity_sub() are
barely worth the electrons they're written on anyway :-(

Heikki Linnakangas cb5868cc1b Fix permission checks on constraint violation errors on partitions.
If a cross-partition UPDATE violates a constraint on the target partition,
and the columns in the new partition are in different physical order than
in the parent, the error message can reveal columns that the user does not
have SELECT permission on. A similar bug was fixed earlier in commit
804b6b6db4.

The cause of the bug is that the callers of the
ExecBuildSlotValueDescription() function got confused when constructing
the list of modified columns. If the tuple was routed from a parent, we
converted the tuple to the parent's format, but the list of modified
columns was grabbed directly from the child's RTE entry.

ExecUpdateLockMode() had a similar issue. That lead to confusion on which
columns are key columns, leading to wrong tuple lock being taken on tables
referenced by foreign keys, when a row is updated with INSERT ON CONFLICT
UPDATE. A new isolation test is added for that corner case.

With this patch, the ri_RangeTableIndex field is no longer set for
partitions that don't have an entry in the range table. Previously, it was
set to the RTE entry of the parent relation, but that was confusing.

NOTE: This modifies the ResultRelInfo struct, replacing the
ri_PartitionRoot field with ri_RootResultRelInfo. That's a bit risky to
backpatch, because it breaks any extensions accessing the field. The
change that ri_RangeTableIndex is not set for partitions could potentially
break extensions, too. The ResultRelInfos are visible to FDWs at least,
and this patch required small changes to postgres_fdw. Nevertheless, this
seem like the least bad option. I don't think these fields widely used in
extensions; I don't think there are FDWs out there that uses the FDW
"direct update" API, other than postgres_fdw. If there is, you will get a
compilation error, so hopefully it is caught quickly.

Backpatch to 11, where support for both cross-partition UPDATEs, and unique
indexes on partitioned tables, were added.

Tom Lane ce5f27fcae Propagate CTE property flags when copying a CTE list into a rule.
rewriteRuleAction() neglected this step, although it was careful to
propagate other similar flags such as hasSubLinks or hasRowSecurity.
Omitting to transfer hasRecursive is just cosmetic at the moment,
but omitting hasModifyingCTE is a live bug, since the executor
certainly looks at that.

The proposed test case only fails back to v10, but since the executor
examines hasModifyingCTE in 9.x as well, I suspect that a test case
could be devised that fails in older branches.  Given the nearness
of the release deadline, though, I'm not going to spend time looking
for a better test.

Tom Lane 580069037c Disallow converting an inheritance child table to a view.
Generally, members of inheritance trees must be plain tables (or,
in more recent versions, foreign tables).  ALTER TABLE INHERIT
rejects creating an inheritance relationship that has a view at
either end.  When DefineQueryRewrite attempts to convert a relation
to a view, it already had checks prohibiting doing so for partitioning
parents or children as well as traditional-inheritance parents ...
but it neglected to check that a traditional-inheritance child wasn't
being converted.  Since the planner assumes that any inheritance
child is a table, this led to making plans that tried to do a physical
scan on a view, causing failures (or even crashes, in recent versions).

One could imagine trying to support such a case by expanding the view
normally, but since the rewriter runs before the planner does
inheritance expansion, it would take some very fundamental refactoring
to make that possible.  There are probably a lot of other parts of the
system that don't cope well with such a situation, too.  For now,
just forbid it.

Per bug #16856 from Yang Lin.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
(In versions before v10, this includes back-patching the portion of
commit 501ed02cf that added has_superclass().  Perhaps the lack of
that infrastructure partially explains the missing check.)

Heikki Linnakangas d9b4163c55 Fix backslash-escaping multibyte chars in COPY FROM.
If a multi-byte character is escaped with a backslash in TEXT mode input,
and the encoding is one of the client-only encodings where the bytes after
the first one can have an ASCII byte "embedded" in the char, we didn't
skip the character correctly. After a backslash, we only skipped the first
byte of the next character, so if it was a multi-byte character, we would
try to process its second byte as if it was a separate character. If it
was one of the characters with special meaning, like '\n', '\r', or
another '\\', that would cause trouble.

One such exmple is the byte sequence '\x5ca45c2e666f6f' in Big5 encoding.
That's supposed to be [backslash][two-byte character][.][f][o][o], but
because the second byte of the two-byte character is 0x5c, we incorrectly
treat it as another backslash. And because the next character is a dot, we
parse it as end-of-copy marker, and throw an "end-of-copy marker corrupt"
error.

Tom Lane 1c3a877469 Avoid crash when rolling back within a prepared statement.
If a portal is used to run a prepared CALL or DO statement that
contains a ROLLBACK, PortalRunMulti fails because the portal's
statement list gets cleared by the rollback.  (Since the grammar
doesn't allow CALL/DO in PREPARE, the only easy way to get to this is
via extended query protocol, which treats all inputs as prepared
statements.)  It's difficult to avoid resetting the portal early
because of resource-management issues, so work around this by teaching
PortalRunMulti to be wary of portal->stmts having suddenly become NIL.

The crash has only been seen to occur in v13 and HEAD (as a
consequence of commit 1cff1b95a having added an extra touch of
portal->stmts).  But even before that, the code involved touching a
List that the portal no longer has any claim on.  In the test case at
hand, the List will still exist because of another refcount on the
cached plan; but I'm far from convinced that it's impossible for the
cached plan to have been dropped by the time control gets back to
PortalRunMulti.  Hence, backpatch to v11 where nested transactions
were added.

Tom Lane 5fc5ff61ce Fix ancient memory leak in contrib/auto_explain.
The ExecutorEnd hook is invoked in a context that could be quite
long-lived, not the executor's own per-query context as I think
we were sort of assuming.  Thus, any cruft generated while producing
the EXPLAIN output could accumulate over multiple queries.  This can
result in spectacular leakage if log_nested_statements is on, and
even without that I'm surprised nobody complained before.

To fix, just switch into the executor's context so that anything we
allocate will be released when standard_ExecutorEnd frees the executor
state.  We might as well nuke the code's retail pfree of the explain
output string, too; that's laughably inadequate to the need.

Tom Lane 6f94531b0c Fix hash partition pruning with asymmetric partition sets.
perform_pruning_combine_step() was not taught about the number of
partition indexes used in hash partitioning; more embarrassingly,
get_matching_hash_bounds() also had it wrong.  These errors are masked
in the common case where all the partitions have the same modulus
and no partition is missing.  However, with missing or unequal-size
partitions, we could erroneously prune some partitions that need
to be scanned, leading to silently wrong query answers.

While a minimal-footprint fix for this could be to export
get_partition_bound_num_indexes and make the incorrect functions use it,
I'm of the opinion that that function should never have existed in the
first place.  It's not reasonable data structure design that
PartitionBoundInfoData lacks any explicit record of the length of
its indexes[] array.  Perhaps that was all right when it could always
be assumed equal to ndatums, but something should have been done about
it as soon as that stopped being true.  Putting in an explicit
"nindexes" field makes both partition_bounds_equal() and
partition_bounds_copy() simpler, safer, and faster than before,
and removes explicit knowledge of the number-of-partition-indexes
rules from some other places too.

This change also makes get_hash_partition_greatest_modulus obsolete.
I left that in place in case any external code uses it, but no core
code does anymore.

Per bug #16840 from Michał Albrycht.  Back-patch to v11 where the
hash partitioning code came in.  (In the back branches, add the new

startBlk - 1, neither of which is correct when only scanning a subset of
pages.

The fix here checks if heap_setscanlimits() has changed the number of
pages to scan and if so we set the first page to scan as the final page in
the specified range during backward scans.

Proper adjustment of this code was forgotten when heap_setscanlimits() was
added in 7516f5259 back in 9.5.  However, practice, nowhere in core code
performs backward scans after having used heap_setscanlimits(), yet, it is
possible an extension uses the heap functions in this way, hence
backpatch.

An upcoming patch does use heap_setscanlimits() with backward scans, so
this must be fixed before that can go in.

Tom Lane baf9fc46ec Doc: improve directions for building on macOS.
In light of recent discussions, we should instruct people to
install Apple's command line tools; installing Xcode is secondary.

Also, fix sample command for finding out the default sysroot,
as we now know that the command originally recommended can give
a result that doesn't match your OS version.

Also document the workaround to use if you really don't want
configure to select a sysroot at all.

Tom Lane cbcff1729f Further tweaking of PG_SYSROOT heuristics for macOS.
It emerges that in some phases of the moon (perhaps to do with
directory entry order?), xcrun will report that the SDK path is
  /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
which is normally a symlink to a version-numbered sibling directory.
Our heuristic to skip non-version-numbered pathnames was rejecting
that, which is the wrong thing to do.  We'd still like to end up
with a version-numbered PG_SYSROOT value, but we can have that by
dereferencing the symlink.

Like the previous fix, back-patch to all supported versions.

Tom Lane 6a97ca3128 Disable vacuum page skipping in selected test cases.
By default VACUUM will skip pages that it can't immediately get
exclusive access to, which means that even activities as harmless
and unpredictable as checkpoint buffer writes might prevent a page
from being processed.  Ordinarily this is no big deal, but we have
a small number of test cases that examine the results of VACUUM's
processing and therefore will fail if the page of interest is skipped.
This seems to be the explanation for some rare buildfarm failures.
To fix, add the DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING option to the VACUUM commands
in tests where this could be an issue.

In passing, remove a duplicated query in pageinspect/sql/page.sql.

Back-patch as necessary (some of these cases are as old as v10).

Tom Lane 794562d077 Remove faulty support for MergeAppend plan with WHERE CURRENT OF.
Somebody extended search_plan_tree() to treat MergeAppend exactly
like Append, which is 100% wrong, because unlike Append we can't
assume that only one input node is actively returning tuples.
Hence a cursor using a MergeAppend across a UNION ALL or inheritance
tree could falsely match a WHERE CURRENT OF query at a row that
isn't actually the cursor's current output row, but coincidentally
has the same TID (in a different table) as the current output row.

Delete the faulty code; this means that such a case will now return
an error like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table
"bar"', instead of silently misbehaving.  Users should not find that
surprising though, as the same cursor query could have failed that way
already depending on the chosen plan.  (It would fail like that if the
sort were done with an explicit Sort node instead of MergeAppend.)

Expand the clearly-inadequate commentary to be more explicit about
what this code is doing, in hopes of forestalling future mistakes.

It's been like this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Tom Lane de622e677c Avoid crash with WHERE CURRENT OF and a custom scan plan.
execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree() assumed that ForeignScanStates
and CustomScanStates necessarily have a valid ss_currentRelation.
This is demonstrably untrue for postgres_fdw's remote join and
remote aggregation plans, and non-leaf custom scans might not have
an identifiable scan relation either.  Avoid crashing by ignoring
such nodes when the field is null.

This solution will lead to errors like 'cursor "foo" is not a
simply updatable scan of table "bar"' in cases where maybe we
could have allowed WHERE CURRENT OF to work.  That's not an issue
for postgres_fdw's usages, since joins or aggregations would render
WHERE CURRENT OF invalid anyway.  But an otherwise-transparent
upper level custom scan node might find this annoying.  When and if
someone cares to expend work on such a scenario, we could invent a
custom-scan-provider callback to determine what's safe.

Report and patch by David Geier, commentary by me.  It's been like
this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Noah Misch c6ff165f99 Fix pg_dump for GRANT OPTION among initial privileges.
The context is an object that no longer bears some aclitem that it bore
initially.  (A user issued REVOKE or GRANT statements upon the object.)
pg_dump is forming SQL to reproduce the object ACL.  Since initdb
creates no ACL bearing GRANT OPTION, reaching this bug requires an
extension where the creation script establishes such an ACL.  No PGXN
extension does that.  If an installation did reach the bug, pg_dump
would have omitted a semicolon, causing a REVOKE and the next SQL
statement to fail.  Separately, since the affected code exists to
eliminate an entire aclitem, it wants plain REVOKE, not REVOKE GRANT
OPTION FOR.  Back-patch to 9.6, where commit
23f34fa4ba first appeared.

Tom Lane 046c8facec Improve our heuristic for selecting PG_SYSROOT on macOS.
In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version,
asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the
SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does
not work on the underlying macOS version.  It appears that in
such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default
behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's
"command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version
in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will
default to using that.  This is all pretty poorly documented,
but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives
the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least
in some cases.  Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild
if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the
--show-sdk-path switch).

Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks
any OS version identifier.  We don't really want that, since most
of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all
is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against
the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on
a different machine.  Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name
before accepting the result.  (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun
call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually
more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.)

The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases
like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls
does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think
that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building
on an older macOS version where they don't exist.  It'd be nice to
have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt
to fix that.

Per report from Sergey Shinderuk.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

Tom Lane bb12a7f429 pg_dump: label PUBLICATION TABLE ArchiveEntries with an owner.
This is the same fix as commit 9eabfe300 applied to INDEX ATTACH
entries, but for table-to-publication attachments.  As in that
case, even though the backend doesn't record "ownership" of the
attachment, we still ought to label it in the dump archive with
the role name that should run the ALTER PUBLICATION command.
The existing behavior causes the ALTER to be done by the original
role that started the restore; that will usually work fine, but
there may be corner cases where it fails.

The bulk of the patch is concerned with changing struct
PublicationRelInfo to include a pointer to the associated
PublicationInfo object, so that we can get the owner's name
out of that when the time comes.  While at it, I rewrote
getPublicationTables() to do just one query of pg_publication_rel,
not one per table.

Prevent drop of tablespaces used by partitioned relations
When a tablespace is used in a partitioned relation (per commits
ca4103025d in pg12 for tables and 33e6c34c32 in pg11 for indexes),
it is possible to drop the tablespace, potentially causing various
problems.  One such was reported in bug #16577, where a rewriting ALTER
TABLE causes a server crash.

Protect against this by using pg_shdepend to keep track of tablespaces
when used for relations that don't keep physical files; we now abort a
tablespace if we see that the tablespace is referenced from any
partitioned relations.

Backpatch this to 11, where this problem has been latent all along.  We
don't try to create pg_shdepend entries for existing partitioned
indexes/tables, but any ones that are modified going forward will be
protected.

Note slight behavior change: when trying to drop a tablespace that
contains both regular tables as well as partitioned ones, you'd
previously get ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE and now you'll
get ERRCODE_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS_STILL_EXIST.  Arguably, the latter is more
correct.

It is possible to add protecting pg_shdepend entries for existing
tables/indexes, by doing
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE pg_default;
  ALTER TABLE ONLY some_partitioned_table SET TABLESPACE original_tablespace;
for each partitioned table/index that is not in the database default
tablespace.  Because these partitioned objects do not have storage, no
file needs to be actually moved, so it shouldn't take more time than
what's required to acquire locks.

This query can be used to search for such relations:
SELECT ... FROM pg_class WHERE relkind IN ('p', 'I') AND reltablespace <> 0
