CheckPWChallengeAuth() would return STATUS_ERROR if the user does not
exist or has no password assigned, even if the client disconnected
without responding to the password challenge (as libpq often will,
for example). We should return STATUS_EOF in that case, and the
lower-level functions do, but this code level got it wrong since the
refactoring done in 7ac955b34. This breaks the intent of not logging
anything for EOF cases (cf. comments in auth_failed()) and might
also confuse users of ClientAuthentication_hook.

If the underlying table isn't being dumped, it's useless to dump
an extended statistics object; it'll just cause errors at restore.
We have always applied similar policies to, say, indexes.
(When and if we get cross-table stats objects, it might be profitable
to think a little harder about what to do with them. But for now
there seems no point in considering a stats object as anything but
an appendage of its table.)

set_config_option() bails out early if it detects that the option to
be set is PGC_BACKEND or PGC_SU_BACKEND class and we're reading the
config file in a postmaster child; we don't want to apply any new
value in such a case. That's fine as far as it goes, but it fails
to consider the requirements of the pg_file_settings view: for that,
we need to check validity of the value even though we have no
intention to apply it. Because we didn't, even very silly values
for affected GUCs would be reported as valid by the view. There
are only half a dozen such GUCs, which perhaps explains why this
got overlooked for so long.
Fix by continuing when changeVal is false; this parallels the logic
in some other early-exit paths.
Also, the check added by commit 924bcf4f1 to prevent GUC changes in
parallel workers seems a few bricks shy of a load: it's evidently
assuming that ereport(elevel, ...) won't return. Make sure we
bail out if it does. The lack of trouble reports suggests that
this is only a latent bug, i.e. parallel workers don't actually
reach here with elevel < ERROR. (Per the code coverage report,
we never reach here at all in the regression suite.) But we clearly
don't want to risk proceeding if that does happen.

This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned
index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as
well. The rest of what spgGetCache() does is perfectly sensible
for a partitioned index, so we should allow it to go through.
I think the main takeaway from this is that we lack sufficient test

simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and
gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql).

Fix a bug during MERGE if a cross-partition update is attempted on a
partitioned table with a BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger that returns NULL,
to prevent the update. This would cause an error to be thrown, or an
assert failure in an assert-enabled build.
This was an oversight in 9321c79c86, which failed to properly
distinguish a DELETE prevented by a trigger from one prevented by a
concurrent update. Fix by having ExecDelete() return the TM_Result
status to ExecCrossPartitionUpdate(), so that it can distinguish the
two cases, and make ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() return the TM_Result
status to ExecUpdateAct(), so that it can return the correct status
from a concurrent update.
In addition, ensure that the command tag is correctly updated by
having ExecMergeMatched() pass canSetTag to ExecUpdateAct(), rather
than passing false, so that it updates the command tag if it does a
cross-partition update, making this code path in ExecMergeMatched()
consistent with ExecUpdate().

In v16 and up (since commit afbfc0298), large object ownership
checking has been broken because object_ownercheck() didn't take care
of the discrepancy between our object-address representation of large
objects (classId == LargeObjectRelationId) and the catalog where their
ownership info is actually stored (LargeObjectMetadataRelationId).
This resulted in failures such as "unrecognized class ID: 2613"
when trying to update blob properties as a non-superuser.
Poking around for related bugs, I found that AlterObjectOwner_internal
would pass the wrong classId to the PostAlterHook in the no-op code
path where the large object already has the desired owner. Also,
recordExtObjInitPriv checked for the wrong classId; that bug is only
latent because the stanza is dead code anyway, but as long as we're
carrying it around it should be less wrong. These bugs are quite old.
In HEAD, we can reduce the scope for future bugs of this ilk by
changing AlterObjectOwner_internal's API to let the translation happen
inside that function, rather than requiring callers to know about it.
A more bulletproof fix, perhaps, would be to start using
LargeObjectMetadataRelationId as the dependency and object-address
classId for blobs. However that has substantial risk of breaking
third-party code; even within our own code, it'd create hassles
for pg_dump which would have to cope with a version-dependent
representation. For now, keep the status quo.

Dead tuples are ignored and are not marked as dead during recovery, as
it can lead to MVCC issues on a standby because its xmin may not match
with the primary. This information is tracked by a field called
"xactStartedInRecovery" in the transaction state data, switched on when
starting a transaction in recovery.
Unfortunately, this information was not correctly tracked when starting
a subtransaction, because the transaction state used for the
subtransaction did not update "xactStartedInRecovery" based on the state
of its parent. This would cause index scans done in subtransactions to
return inconsistent data, depending on how the xmin of the primary
and/or the standby evolved.

OpenSSL will sometimes return SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL without having set
errno; this is apparently a reflection of recv(2)'s habit of not
setting errno when reporting EOF. Ensure that we treat such cases
the same as read EOF. Previously, we'd frequently report them like
"could not accept SSL connection: Success" which is confusing, or
worse report them with an unrelated errno left over from some
previous syscall.
To fix, ensure that errno is zeroed immediately before the call,
and report its value only when it's not zero afterwards; otherwise
report EOF.
For consistency, I've applied the same coding pattern in libpq's
pqsecure_raw_read(). Bare recv(2) shouldn't really return -1 without
setting errno, but in case it does we might as well cope.

The apply worker needs to update the state of the subscription tables to
'READY' during the synchronization phase which requires locking the
corresponding subscription. The apply worker also waits for the
subscription tables to reach the 'SYNCDONE' state after holding the locks
on the subscription and the wait is done using WaitLatch. The 'SYNCDONE'
state is changed by tablesync workers again by locking the corresponding
subscription. Both the state updates use AccessShareLock mode to lock the
subscription, so they can't block each other. However, a backend can
simultaneously try to acquire a lock on the same subscription using
AccessExclusiveLock mode to alter the subscription. Now, the backend's
wait on a lock can sneak in between the apply worker and table sync worker
causing deadlock.
In other words, apply_worker waits for tablesync worker which waits for
backend, and backend waits for apply worker. This is not detected by the
deadlock detector because apply worker uses WaitLatch.
The fix is to release existing locks in apply worker before it starts to
wait for tablesync worker to change the state.

When creating a partitioned index, the partition key must be a subset
of the index's columns. But this currently doesn't check that the
collations between the partition key and the index definition match.
So you can construct a unique index that fails to enforce uniqueness.
(This would most likely involve a nondeterministic collation, so it
would have to be crafted explicitly and is not something that would
just happen by accident.)

The bug could result in incorrectness when a table replicated via

When using GSSAPI encryption in non-blocking mode, libpq sometimes
failed with "GSSAPI caller failed to retransmit all data needing
to be retried". The cause is that pqPutMsgEnd rounds its transmit
request down to an even multiple of 8K, and sometimes that can lead
to not requesting a write of data that was requested to be written
(but reported as not written) earlier. That can upset pg_GSS_write's
logic for dealing with not-yet-written data, since it's possible
the data in question had already been incorporated into an encrypted
packet that we weren't able to send during the previous call.
We could fix this with a one-or-two-line hack to disable pqPutMsgEnd's
round-down behavior, but that seems like making the caller work around
a behavior that pg_GSS_write shouldn't expose in this way. Instead,
adjust pg_GSS_write to never report a partial write: it either
reports a complete write, or reflects the failure of the lower-level
pqsecure_raw_write call. The requirement still exists for the caller
to present at least as much data as on the previous call, but with
the caller-visible write start point not moving there is no temptation
for it to present less. We lose some ability to reclaim buffer space
early, but I doubt that that will make much difference in practice.
This also gets rid of a rather dubious assumption that "any
interesting failure condition (from pqsecure_raw_write) will recur
on the next try". We've not seen failure reports traceable to that,
but I've never trusted it particularly and am glad to remove it.
Make the same adjustments to the equivalent backend routine
be_gssapi_write(). It is probable that there's no bug on the backend
side, since we don't have a notion of nonblock mode there; but we
should keep the logic the same to ease future maintenance.

When performing inlining LLVM unfortunately "leaks" types (the
types survive and are usable, but a new round of inlining will
recreate new structurally equivalent types). This accumulation
will over time amount to a memory leak which for some queries
can be large enough to trigger the OOM process killer.
To avoid accumulation of types, all IR related data is stored
in an LLVMContextRef which is dropped and recreated in order
to release all types. Dropping and recreating incurs overhead,
so it will be done only after 100 queries. This is a heuristic
which might be revisited, but until we can get the size of the

Backpatch-through: v12
contain_mutable_functions and contain_volatile_functions give
reliable answers only after expression preprocessing (specifically
eval_const_expressions). Some places understand this, but some did
not get the memo --- which is not entirely their fault, because the
problem is documented only in places far away from those functions.
Introduce wrapper functions that allow doing the right thing easily,
and add commentary in hopes of preventing future mistakes from
copy-and-paste of code that's only conditionally safe.
Two actual bugs of this ilk are fixed here. We failed to preprocess
column GENERATED expressions before checking mutability, so that the
code could fail to detect the use of a volatile function
default-argument expression, or it could reject a polymorphic function
that is actually immutable on the datatype of interest. Likewise,
column DEFAULT expressions weren't preprocessed before determining if
it's safe to apply the attmissingval mechanism. A false negative
would just result in an unnecessary table rewrite, but a false
positive could allow the attmissingval mechanism to be used in a case
where it should not be, resulting in unexpected initial values in a
new column.
In passing, re-order the steps in ComputePartitionAttrs so that its
checks for invalid column references are done before applying
expression_planner, rather than after. The previous coding would
not complain if a partition expression contains a disallowed column
reference that gets optimized away by constant folding, which seems
to me to be a behavior we do not want.
Per bug #18097 from Jim Keener. Back-patch to all supported versions.

The fallback implementation of pg_atomic_test_set_flag() that uses
atomic-exchange gives pg_atomic_exchange_u32_impl() an extra
argument. This issue has been present since the introduction of
the atomics API in commit b64d92f1a5.
