Buildfarm members hornet and sungazer have shown multiple instances of
"Failed test 'xmin of non-cascaded slot with hs feedback has changed'".
The reason seems to be that the test is checking the current xmin of the
master server's replication slot against a past xmin of the first slave
server's replication slot. Even though the latter slot is downstream of
the former, it's possible for its reported xmin to be ahead of the former's
reported xmin, because those numbers are updated whenever the respective
downstream walreceiver feels like it (see logic in WalReceiverMain).
Instrumenting this test shows that indeed the slave slot's xmin does often
advance before the master's does, especially if an autovacuum transaction
manages to occur during the relevant window. If we happen to capture such
an advanced xmin as $xmin, then the subsequent wait_slot_xmins call can
fall through before the master's xmin has advanced at all, and then if it
advances before the get_slot_xmins call, we can get the observed failure.
Yeah, that's a bit of a long chain of deduction, but it's hard to explain
any other way how the test can get past an "xmin <> '$xmin'" check only
to have the next query find that xmin does equal $xmin.
Fix by keeping separate images of the master and slave slots' xmins
and testing their has-xmin-advanced conditions independently.
If an operation being waited for does not complete within the timeout,
then exit with a nonzero exit status. This was previously handled
inconsistently.
WRITE_CHAR_FIELD() didn't do any escaping, so that for example a zero
byte would cause the whole output string to be truncated. To fix, pass
the char through outToken(), so it is escaped like a string. Adjust the
reading side to handle this.
Update the documentation for \pset to mention
columns|linestyle|pager_min_lines. Add various mentions of \pset
command equivalences that were previously inconsistent.

This avoids "tuple concurrently updated" errors when a ALTER or DROP
SUBSCRIPTION writes to pg_subscription_rel at the same time as a worker.
Author: Petr Jelinek <petr.jelinek@2ndquadrant.com>
Since reducing pg_ctl's reaction time in commit c61559ec3, some
slower buildfarm members have shown erratic failures in this test.
The reason turns out to be that the test assumes synchronous
replication (because it does not provide any lag time for a commit
to replicate before shutting down the servers), but it had only
enabled sync rep in one direction. The observed symptoms correspond
to failure to replicate the last committed transaction in the other
direction, which can be expected to happen if the shutdown command
is issued soon enough and we are providing no synchronous-commit
guarantees.
Fix that, and add a bit more paranoid state checking at the bottom
of the script.

The original coding here was very confusing, because it named the
two servers it set up "master" and "slave" even though it swapped
their replication roles multiple times. At any given point in the
script it was very unobvious whether "$node_master" actually referred
to the server named "master" or the other one. Instead, pick arbitrary
names for the two servers --- I used "london" and "paris" --- and
distinguish those permanent names from the nonce references $cur_master
and $cur_slave. Add logging to help distinguish which is which at
any given point. Also, use distinct data and transaction names to
make all the prepared transactions easily distinguishable in the
postmaster logs. (There was one place where we intentionally tested
that the server could cope with re-use of a transaction name, but
it seems like one place is sufficient for that purpose.)
Also, add checks at the end to make sure that all the transactions
that were supposed to be committed did survive.

Add an optional "expected" argument to override the default assumption
that we're waiting for the query to return "t". This allows replacing
a handwritten polling loop in recovery/t/007_sync_rep.pl with use of
poll_query_until(); AFAICS that's the only remaining ad-hoc polling
loop in our TAP tests.
Change poll_query_until() to probe ten times per second not once per
second. Like some similar changes I've been making recently, the
one-second interval seems to be rooted in ancient traditions rather
than the actual likely wait duration on modern machines. I'd consider
reducing it further if there were a convenient way to spawn just one
psql for the whole loop rather than one per probe attempt.

The simple calculations done to estimate the size of the output buffers
for ucnv_fromUChars() and ucnv_toUChars() could overflow int32_t for
large strings. To avoid that, go the long way and run the function
first without an output buffer to get the correct output buffer size
requirement.
Several callers of PostgresNode::poll_query_until() neglected to check
for failure; I do not think that's optional. Also, rewrite one place
that had reinvented poll_query_until() for no very good reason.
The regression tests contain numerous cases where we do some activity on a
master server and then wait till the slave has ack'd flushing its copy of
that transaction. Because WAL flush on the slave is asynchronous to the
logicalrep worker process, the worker cannot send such a feedback message
during the LogicalRepApplyLoop iteration where it processes the last data
from the master. In the previous coding, the feedback message would come
out only when the loop's WaitLatchOrSocket call returned WL_TIMEOUT. That
requires one full second of delay (NAPTIME_PER_CYCLE); and to add insult
to injury, it could take more than that if the WaitLatchOrSocket was
interrupted a few times by latch-setting events.
In reality we can expect the slave's walwriter process to have flushed the
WAL data after, more or less, WalWriterDelay (typically 200ms). Hence,
if there are unacked transactions pending, make the wait delay only that
long rather than the full NAPTIME_PER_CYCLE. Also, move one of the
send_feedback() calls into the loop main line, so that we'll check for the
need to send feedback even if we were woken by a latch event and not either
socket data or timeout.
It's not clear how much this matters for production purposes, but
it's definitely helpful for testing.

When waiting for a logical replication worker process to start or stop,
we have to busy-wait until we see it add or remove itself from the
LogicalRepWorker slot in shared memory. Those loops were using a
one-second delay between checks, but on any reasonably modern machine, it
doesn't take more than a couple of msec for a worker to spawn or shut down.
Reduce the loop delays to 10ms to avoid wasting quite so much time in the
related regression tests.
In principle, a better solution would be to fix things so that the waiting
process can be awakened via its latch at the right time. But that seems
considerably more invasive, which is undesirable for a post-beta fix.
Worker start/stop performance likely isn't of huge interest anyway for
production purposes, so we might not ever get around to it.
In passing, rearrange the second wait loop in logicalrep_worker_stop()
so that the lock is held at the top of the loop, thus saving one lock
acquisition/release per call, and making it look more like the other loop.

Bug: #14718
In WAL receiver and WAL server, some accesses to their corresponding
shared memory control structs were done without holding any kind of
lock, which could lead to inconsistent and possibly insecure results.
In walsender, fix by clarifying the locking rules and following them
correctly, as documented in the new comment in walsender_private.h;
namely that some members can be read in walsender itself without a lock,
because the only writes occur in the same process. The rest of the
struct requires spinlock for accesses, as usual.
In walreceiver, fix by always holding spinlock while accessing the
struct.
While there is potentially a problem in all branches, it is minor in
stable ones. This only became a real problem in pg10 because of quorum
commit in synchronous replication (commit 3901fd70cc), and a potential
security problem in walreceiver because a superuser() check was removed
by default monitoring roles (commit 25fff40798). Thus, no backpatch.
In passing, clean up some leftover braces which were used to create
unconditional blocks. Once upon a time these were used for
volatile-izing accesses to those shmem structs, which is no longer
required. Many other occurrences of this pattern remain.

When a sync worker is waiting for the associated apply worker to notice
that it's in SYNCWAIT state, wait_for_worker_state_change() would just
patiently wait for that to happen. This generally required waiting for
the 1-second timeout in LogicalRepApplyLoop to elapse. Kicking the worker
via its latch makes things significantly snappier.
While at it, fix race conditions that could potentially result in crashes:
we can *not* call logicalrep_worker_wakeup_ptr() once we've released the
LogicalRepWorkerLock, because worker->proc might've been reset to NULL
after we do that (indeed, there's no really solid reason to believe that
the LogicalRepWorker slot even belongs to the same worker anymore).
In logicalrep_worker_wakeup(), we can just move the wakeup inside the
lock scope. In process_syncing_tables_for_apply(), a bit more code
rearrangement is needed.
Also improve some nearby comments.
It's possible for WalSndWaitForWal to be asked to wait for WAL that doesn't
exist yet. That's fine, in fact it's the normal situation if we're caught
up; but when the client requests shutdown we should not keep waiting.
The previous coding could wait indefinitely if the source server was idle.
In passing, improve the rather weak comments in this area, and slightly
rearrange some related code for better readability.

ICU does not support "collate" and "ctype" being different, so the
collctype catalog column is ignored. But for catalog neatness, ensure
that they are the same.
This command used to compute the collencoding entry like when a
completely new collation is created. But for example when copying the
"C" collation, this would then result in a collation that has a
collencoding entry for the current database encoding rather than -1,
thus not making an exact copy. This has probably no practical impact,
but making this change keeps the catalog contents neat.

The point of this loop is to insert 1000 rows into the test table
and consume 1000 XIDs. I can't see any good reason why it's useful
to launch 1000 psqls and 1000 backend processes to accomplish that.
Pushing the looping into a plpgsql DO block shaves about 10 seconds
off the runtime of the src/test/recovery TAP tests on my machine;
that's over 10% of the runtime of that test suite.
It is, in fact, sufficiently more efficient that we now demonstrably
need wait_slot_xmins() afterwards, or the slaves' xmins may not have
moved yet.
Traditionally, "pg_ctl start -w" has waited for the server to become
ready to accept connections by attempting a connection once per second.
That has the major problem that connection issues (for instance, a
kernel packet filter blocking traffic) can't be reliably told apart
from server startup issues, and the minor problem that if server startup
isn't quick, we accumulate "the database system is starting up" spam
in the server log. We've hacked around many of the possible connection
issues, but it resulted in ugly and complicated code in pg_ctl.c.
In commit c61559ec3, I changed the probe rate to every tenth of a second.
That prompted Jeff Janes to complain that the log-spam problem had become
much worse. In the ensuing discussion, Andres Freund pointed out that
we could dispense with connection attempts altogether if the postmaster
were changed to report its status in postmaster.pid, which "pg_ctl start"
already relies on being able to read. This patch implements that, teaching
postmaster.c to report a status string into the pidfile at the same
state-change points already identified as being of interest for systemd
status reporting (cf commit 7d17e683f). pg_ctl no longer needs to link
with libpq at all; all its functions now depend on reading server files.
In support of this, teach AddToDataDirLockFile() to allow addition of
postmaster.pid lines in not-necessarily-sequential order. This is needed
on Windows where the SHMEM_KEY line will never be written at all. We still
have the restriction that we don't want to truncate the pidfile; document
the reasons for that a bit better.
Also, fix the pg_ctl TAP tests so they'll notice if "start -w" mode
is broken --- before, they'd just wait out the sixty seconds until
the loop gives up, and then report success anyway. (Yes, I found that
out the hard way.)
While at it, arrange for pg_ctl to not need to #include miscadmin.h;
as a rather low-level backend header, requiring that to be compilable
client-side is pretty dubious. This requires moving the #define's
associated with the pidfile into a new header file, and moving
PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR someplace else. For lack of a clearly better
"someplace else", I put it into port.h, beside the declaration of
find_other_exec(), since most users of that macro are passing the value to
find_other_exec(). (initdb still depends on miscadmin.h, but at least
pg_ctl and pg_upgrade no longer do.)
In passing, fix main.c so that PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR actually defines the
output of "postgres -V", which remarkably it had never done before.

Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist

Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD,
at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that
text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the
symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't
seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to
bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality.
Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from
Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there

check_agg_arguments_walker threw an error upon seeing a SRF or window

9.2 gets this right.
By default, wal_retrieve_retry_interval is five seconds, which is far
more than is needed in any of our TAP tests, leaving the test cases

master-is-ready code path. Hence, make PostgresNode::init set up
wal_retrieve_retry_interval = '500ms' as part of its customization of

When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send
a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new
walreceiver to be launched. There's a race condition, which at least
in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that
signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process.
In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request
on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant. Eventually, after
10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a
fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have
been re-established almost immediately.
Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't
clear until we do launch a walreceiver. In cases where that results
in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize
it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway
for the opposite race case.
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the

The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time
before when it last wrote the relevant stats file. That's fine, but at
startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their
timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary
stats files had been written. In reality, of course, there's no data
out there at all. This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after
startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less
than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for
testing and in the field. Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds
and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out
by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within
that interval.
I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the
src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum
launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup,
thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly. We might
want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to
getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless.
In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it
re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a
short read from the stats file. (Other reads in that function
go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.)
This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent
and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

pg_ctl has traditionally waited one second between probes for whether
the start or stop request has completed. That behavior was embodied
in the original shell script written in 1999 (commit 5b912b089) and
I doubt anyone's questioned it since. Nowadays, machines are a lot
faster, and the shell script is long since replaced by C code, so it's
fair to reconsider how long we ought to wait.
This patch adjusts the coding so that the wait time can be any even
divisor of 1 second, and sets the actual probe rate to 10 per second.
That's based on experimentation with the src/test/recovery TAP tests,
which include a lot of postmaster starts and stops. This patch alone
reduces the (non-parallelized) runtime of those tests from ~4m30s to
~3m5s on my machine. Increasing the probe rate further doesn't help
much, so this seems like a good number.
In the real world this probably won't have much impact, since people
don't start/stop production postmasters often, and the shutdown checkpoint
usually takes nontrivial time too. But it makes development work and
testing noticeably snappier, and that's good enough reason for me.
Also, by reducing the dead time in postmaster restart sequences, this
change has made it easier to reproduce some bugs that have been lurking
for awhile. Patches for those will follow.

pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if
the current database's encoding didn't support ICU. This is wrongheaded:
initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way
since it might be used in other databases with different encodings.
The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment()
used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that
unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings.
But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be
encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment
strings. So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for
Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format
conversion is trivial. If there are some, we can simply not install the
comment. (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has
given us trouble before.)
For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale
names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales. I don't
currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything,
but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too.
With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation
in databases with unsupported encodings. This resulted in more or less
clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported
encodings with libc collations. Make it work the same as our traditional
behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account
whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu().
Adjust documentation to match. Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which
encodings are supported by ICU.
catversion bump because of likely change in pg_collation/pg_description

The maxResultSize argument of uloc_getDisplayName is the number of
UChars in the output buffer, not the number of bytes. In principle
this could result in a stack smash, although at least in my Fedora 25
install there are no ICU locales with display names long enough to
overrun the buffer. But it's easily proven to be wrong by reducing
the length of displayname to around 20, whereupon a stack smash
does happen.
(This is a rather scary bug, because the same mistake could easily
have been made in other places; but in a quick code search looking
at uses of UChar I could not find any other instances.)
The comparison with the target rows on the subscriber side was done with
datumIsEqual(), which can have false negatives. For instance, it didn't
work reliably for text columns. So use the equality operator provided
by the type cache instead.
Also add more user documentation about replica identity requirements.

Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported
the same locale name more than once. All previous versions of Postgres
implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite
to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property.
It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in
collation names were silently ignored.
The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in
if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for
non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument
and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not
already known". This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases
caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even
if the function argument said otherwise.
While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations()
doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a
re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often
hundreds of them. And make it return a count of the number of collations
it did add, which seems like it might be helpful.
Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a
deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting
possibilities. This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports
multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8",
but that hardly seems out of the question.
In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s
ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result
in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create
comments even if a new collation hadn't been created.
Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation
is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after.
This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named
that. There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild,
but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

After sitting idle and fully replayed for a while and then encountering

Callers of icu_to_uchar() neglected to pfree the result string when done
with it. This results in catastrophic memory leaks in varstr_cmp(),
because of our prevailing assumption that btree comparison functions don't
leak memory. For safety, make all the call sites clean up leaks, though
I suspect that we could get away without it in formatting.c. I audited
callers of icu_from_uchar() as well, but found no places that seemed to
have a comparable issue.
Add function API specifications for icu_to_uchar() and icu_from_uchar();
the lack of any thought-through specification is perhaps not unrelated
to the existence of this bug in the first place. Fix icu_to_uchar()
to guarantee a nul-terminated result; although no existing caller appears
to care, the fact that it would have been nul-terminated except in
extreme corner cases seems ideally designed to bite someone on the rear
someday. Fix ucnv_fromUChars() destCapacity argument --- in the worst
case, that could perhaps have led to a non-nul-terminated result, too.
Fix icu_from_uchar() to have a more reasonable definition of the function
result --- no callers are actually paying attention, so this isn't a live
bug, but it's certainly sloppily designed. Const-ify icu_from_uchar()'s
input string for consistency.
That is not the end of what needs to be done to these functions, but
it's as much as I have the patience for right now.

It's essential that initdb.c's setup_depend() scan each system catalog
that could contain objects that need to have "p" (pin) entries in pg_depend
or pg_shdepend. Forgetting to add that, either when a catalog is first
invented or when it first acquires DATA() entries, is an obvious bug
hazard. We can detect such omissions at reasonable cost by probing every
OID-containing system catalog to see whether the lowest-numbered OID in it
is pinned. If so, the catalog must have been properly accounted for in
setup_depend(). If the lowest OID is above FirstNormalObjectId then the
catalog must have been empty at the end of initdb, so it doesn't matter.
There are a small number of catalogs whose first entry is made later in
initdb than setup_depend(), resulting in nonempty expected output of the
test, but these can be manually inspected to see that they are OK. Any
future mistake of this ilk will manifest as a new entry in the test's
output.
Since pg_conversion is already in the test's output, add it to the set of
catalogs scanned by setup_depend(). That has no effect today (hence, no
catversion bump here) but it will protect us if we ever do add pin-worthy
conversions.
This test is very much like the catalog sanity checks embodied in
opr_sanity.sql and type_sanity.sql, but testing pg_depend doesn't seem to
fit naturally into either of those scripts' charters. Hence, invent a new
test script misc_sanity.sql, which can be a home for this as well as tests
on any other catalogs we might want in future.

When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed,
and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender,
restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could
accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline. Later
checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an
error during creation, and it would get archived. That causes trouble
if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before
the timeline creation, because it would try to read the
segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines,
which doesn't have valid contents. Thus replay would fail.
The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment
and/or having restore_command filter it out.
The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after
an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of
the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg().
Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last
segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from
causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on
the new timeline.
Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

Backpatch: 9.2-, bug older than all supported versions
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

load_libraries(), which processes the various xxx_preload_libraries GUCs,
was parsing them using SplitIdentifierString() which isn't really
appropriate for values that could be path names: it downcases unquoted
text, and it doesn't allow embedded whitespace unless quoted.
Use SplitDirectoriesString() instead. That also allows us to simplify
load_libraries() a bit, since canonicalize_path() is now done for it.
While this definitely seems like a bug fix, it has the potential to
break configuration settings that accidentally worked before because
of the downcasing behavior. Also, there's an easy workaround for the
bug, namely to double-quote troublesome text. Hence, no back-patch.

Viewing a table with \d in psql also shows the publications at table is
in. If a publication is concurrently dropped, this shows an error,
because the view pg_publication_tables internally uses
pg_get_publication_tables(), which uses a catalog snapshot. This can be
particularly annoying if a for-all-tables publication is concurrently
dropped.
To avoid that, write the query in psql differently. Expose the function
pg_relation_is_publishable() to SQL and write the query using that.
That still has a risk of being affected by concurrent catalog changes,
but in this case it would be a table drop that causes problems, and then
the psql \d command wouldn't be interesting anymore anyway.

David Rowley found that the "use the smallest per-column selectivity"
heuristic applied in some cases by get_foreign_key_join_selectivity()
was badly off if the FK columns are independent, producing estimates
much worse than we got before that code was added in 9.6.
One case where that heuristic was used was for LEFT and FULL outer joins
with the referenced rel on the outside of the join. But we should not
really need to special-case those here. eqjoinsel() never has had such a
special case; the correction is applied by calc_joinrel_size_estimate()
instead. Let's just estimate such cases like inner joins and rely on that
later adjustment. (I think there was something of a thinko here, in that
the comments seem to be thinking about the selectivity as defined for
semi/anti joins; but that shouldn't apply to left/full joins.) Add a
regression test exercising such a case to show that this is sane in
at least some cases.
The other case where we used that heuristic was for SEMI/ANTI outer joins,
either if the referenced rel was on the outside, or if it was on the inside
but was part of a join within the RHS. In either case, the FK doesn't give
us a lot of traction towards estimating the selectivity. To ensure that
we don't have regressions from what happened before 9.6, let's punt by
ignoring the FK in such cases and applying the traditional selectivity
calculation. (We might be able to improve on that later, but for now
I just want to be sure it's not worse than 9.5.)

This should normally be determined by a configure check, but until
someone figures out how to do that on Windows, it's better that the code
uses the new function by default.
If a .c or .h file corresponds to a .y or .l file, skip indenting it.
There's no point in reindenting derived files, and these files tend to
confuse pgindent. (Which probably indicates a bug in BSD indent, but
I can't get excited about trying to fix it.)
For the same reasons, add src/backend/utils/fmgrtab.c to the set of
files excluded by src/tools/pgindent/exclude_file_patterns.
The point of doing this is that it makes it safe to run pgindent over
the tree without doing "make maintainer-clean" first. While these are
not the only derived .c/.h files in the tree, they are the only ones
pgindent fails on. Removing that prerequisite step results in one less
way to mess up a pgindent run, and it's necessary if we ever hope to get
to the ease of running pgindent via "make indent".
Windows uses a separate code path for libc locales. The code previously
ended up there also if an ICU collation should be used, leading to a

The _equalTableFunc() omission of coltypmods has semantic significance,
but I did not track down resulting user-visible bugs, if any. The other
changes are cosmetic only, affecting order. catversion bump due to
readfuncs.c field order change.
We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern
wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection
without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically
indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and
returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult
object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results
in a process-lifespan memory leak.
One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because
the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails.
But we might as well fix it.
The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome
because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing
the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying
about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR),
providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult.
Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a
few other places in postgres_fdw.
Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases
by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput.
Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks
postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch).

Previously we required every exported transaction to have an xid
assigned. That was used to check that the exporting transaction is
still running, which in turn is needed to guarantee that that
necessary rows haven't been removed in between exporting and importing
the snapshot.
The exported xid caused unnecessary problems with logical decoding,
because slot creation has to wait for all concurrent xid to finish,
which in turn serializes concurrent slot creation. It also
prohibited snapshots to be exported on hot-standby replicas.
Instead export the virtual transactionid, which avoids the unnecessary
serialization and the inability to export snapshots on standbys. This
changes the file name of the exported snapshot, but since we never
documented what that one means, that seems ok.

When we reimplemented SRFs in commit 69f4b9c85, our initial choice was
to allow the behavior to vary from historical practice in cases where a
SRF call appeared within a conditional-execution construct (currently,
only CASE or COALESCE). But that was controversial to begin with, and
subsequent discussion has resulted in a consensus that it's better to
throw an error instead of executing the query differently from before,
so long as we can provide a reasonably clear error message and a way to
rewrite the query.
Hence, add a parser mechanism to allow detection of such cases during
parse analysis. The mechanism just requires storing, in the ParseState,
a pointer to the set-returning FuncExpr or OpExpr most recently emitted
by parse analysis. Then the parsing functions for CASE and COALESCE can
detect the presence of a SRF in their arguments by noting whether this
pointer changes while analyzing their arguments. Furthermore, if it does,
it provides a suitable error cursor location for the complaint. (This
means that if there's more than one SRF in the arguments, the error will
point at the last one to be analyzed not the first. While connoisseurs of
parsing behavior might find that odd, it's unlikely the average user would
ever notice.)
While at it, we can also provide more specific error messages than before
about some pre-existing restrictions, such as no-SRFs-within-aggregates.
Also, reject at parse time cases where a NULLIF or IS DISTINCT FROM
construct would need to return a set. We've never supported that, but the
restriction is depended on in more subtle ways now, so it seems wise to
detect it at the start.
Also, provide some documentation about how to rewrite a SRF-within-CASE
query using a custom wrapper SRF.
It turns out that the information_schema.user_mapping_options view
contained an instance of exactly the behavior we're now forbidding; but
rewriting it makes it more clear and safer too.

not to be a conflict during the regression test run, we need assertions
here to keep us on the straight and narrow.
We might someday be able to remove the assertion in GetNewRelFileNode,
if pg_upgrade is rewritten to remove its assumption that old and new
relfilenodes always match. But it's hard to see how to get rid of the
pg_type OID constraint, since those OIDs are embedded in user tables
in some cases.
Back-patch as far as 9.5, because of the risk of back-patches breaking
something here even if it works in HEAD. I'd prefer to go back further,
but 9.4 fails both assertions due to get_rel_infos()'s use of a temporary
table. We can't use the later-branch solution of a CTE for compatibility
reasons (cf commit 5d16332e9), and it doesn't seem worth inventing some
other way to do the query. (I did check, by dint of changing the Asserts
to elog(WARNING), that there are no other cases of unwanted OID assignments
during 9.4's regression test run.)

It's not necessary for it to do that, since OWNED BY requires only ordinary
catalog updates and doesn't affect future sequence values. And pg_upgrade
needs to use OWNED BY without having it change the sequence's relfilenode.
Commit 3d79013b9 broke this by making all forms of ALTER SEQUENCE change
the relfilenode; that seems to be the explanation for the hard-to-reproduce
buildfarm failures we've been seeing since then.

The original code only added ICU_CFLAGS to the backend build. But it is
also needed for building external modules that include pg_locale.h. So
add it to the global CPPFLAGS. (This is only relevant if ICU is not in
a compiler default path, so it apparently hasn't bitten many.)
When a table sync worker is in waiting state and the subscription table
entry is removed because of a concurrent subscription refresh, the
worker could be left orphaned. To avoid that, explicitly stop the
worker when the pg_subscription_rel entry is removed.

generateSerialExtraStmts() was sloppy about handling the case where
SEQUENCE NAME is given with a not-schema-qualified name. It was generating
a CreateSeqStmt with an unqualified sequence name, and an AlterSeqStmt
whose "owned_by" DefElem contained a T_String Value with a null string
pointer in the schema-name position. The generated nextval() argument was
also underqualified. This accidentally failed to fail at runtime, but only
so long as the current default creation namespace at runtime is the right
namespace. That's bogus; the parse-time transformation is supposed to be
inserting the right schema name in all cases, so as to avoid any possible
skew in that selection. I'm not sure this could fail in pg_dump's usage,
but it's still wrong; we have had real bugs in this area before adopting
the policy that parse_utilcmd.c should generate only fully-qualified
auxiliary commands. A slightly lesser problem, which is what led me to
notice this in the first place, is that pprint() dumped core on the
AlterSeqStmt because of the bogus T_String.

Most of the improvements were in the new SCRAM code:
* In SCRAM protocol violation messages, use errdetail to provide the
details.
* If pg_backend_random() fails, throw an ERROR rather than just LOG. We
shouldn't continue authentication if we can't generate a random nonce.
* Use ereport() rather than elog() for the "invalid SCRAM verifier"
messages. They shouldn't happen, if everything works, but it's not
inconceivable that someone would have invalid scram verifiers in
pg_authid, e.g. if a broken client application was used to generate the
verifier.
But this change applied to old code:
* Use ERROR rather than COMMERROR for protocol violation errors. There's
no reason to not tell the client what they did wrong. The client might be
confused already, so that it cannot read and display the error correctly,
but let's at least try. In the "invalid password packet size" case, we
used to actually continue with authentication anyway, but that is now a
hard error.

Since tuple-routing implicitly checks the partitioning constraints
at least for the levels of the partitioning hierarchy it traverses,
there's normally no need to revalidate the partitioning constraint
after performing tuple routing. However, if there's a BEFORE trigger
on the target partition, it could modify the tuple, causing the
partitioning constraint to be violated. Catch that case.
Also, instead of checking the root table's partition constraint after
tuple-routing, check it beforehand. Otherwise, the rules for when
the partitioning constraint gets checked get too complicated, because
you sometimes have to check part of the constraint but not all of it.
This effectively reverts commit 39162b2030

If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer,
libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear
the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when
reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would
always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error.
pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like
the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak
some memory instead.
Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list
multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests
Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to
the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request"
errors.
To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to
pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting.

The logic to free the buffer after the gss_init_sec_context() call was
always a bit wonky. Because gss_init_sec_context() sets the GSS context
variable, conn->gctx, we would in fact always attempt to free the buffer.
That only works, because previously conn->ginbuf.value was initialized to
NULL, and free(NULL) is a no-op. Commit 61bf96cab0 refactored things so
that the GSS input token buffer is allocated locally in pg_GSS_continue,
and not held in the PGconn object. After that, the now-local ginbuf.value
variable isn't initialized when it's not used, so we pass a bogus pointer
to free().
To fix, only try to free the input buffer if we allocated it. That was the
intention, certainly after the refactoring, and probably even before that.
But because there's no live bug before the refactoring, I refrained from
backpatching this.

The logical replication apply worker uses the subscription name as
application name, except for table sync. This was incorrectly set to
use the replication slot name, which might be different, in one case.
Also add a comment why the other case is different.
The larger part of this patch replaces usages of MyProc->procLatch
with MyLatch. The latter works even early during backend startup,
where MyProc->procLatch doesn't yet. While the affected code
shouldn't run in cases where it's not initialized, it might get copied
into places where it might. Using MyLatch is simpler and a bit faster
to boot, so there's little point to stick with the previous coding.
While doing so I noticed some weaknesses around newly introduced uses
of latches that could lead to missed events, and an omitted
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call in worker_spi.
As all the actual bugs are in v10 code, there doesn't seem to be
sufficient reason to backpatch this.

Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's
problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal

Backpatch: 9.2-, bug is present since 9.0
When the checkpointer writes the shutdown checkpoint, it checks
afterwards whether any WAL has been written since it started and
throws a PANIC if so. At that point, only walsenders are still
active, so one might think this could not happen, but walsenders can
also generate WAL, for instance in BASE_BACKUP and logical decoding
related commands (e.g. via hint bits). So they can trigger this panic
if such a command is run while the shutdown checkpoint is being
written.
To fix this, divide the walsender shutdown into two phases. First,
checkpointer, itself triggered by postmaster, sends a
PROCSIG_WALSND_INIT_STOPPING signal to all walsenders. If the backend
is idle or runs an SQL query this causes the backend to shutdown, if
logical replication is in progress all existing WAL records are
processed followed by a shutdown. Otherwise this causes the walsender
to switch to the "stopping" state. In this state, the walsender will
reject any further replication commands. The checkpointer begins the
shutdown checkpoint once all walsenders are confirmed as
stopping. When the shutdown checkpoint finishes, the postmaster sends
us SIGUSR2. This instructs walsender to send any outstanding WAL,
including the shutdown checkpoint record, wait for it to be replicated
to the standby, and then exit.

Given the possibility of race conditions and so on, it seems entirely

have in many other functions, and throw an error on an unexpected

I doubt this will throw any light on buildfarm member lorikeet's

you'd kind of expect a null-pointer-dereference crash rather than the

get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext
found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's
unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed.
(OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't
expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a
non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what
other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog.
Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about
unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find
tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the
holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright
misleading since no catcache search is involved.
I'd always assumed that backend/optimizer/geqo/'s remarkably poor
showing on code coverage metrics was because we weren't exercising
it much in the regression tests. But it turns out that a good chunk
of the problem is that there's a bunch of code that is physically
unreachable (because the calls to it are #ifdef'd out in geqo_main.c)
but is being built anyway. Making the called code have #if guards
similar to the calling code saves a couple of kilobytes of executable
size and should make the coverage numbers more reflective of reality.
It's arguable that we should just delete all the unused recombination
mechanisms altogether, but I didn't feel a need to go that far today.
If we allow this, whatever outer command has the table open will not know
about the new index and may fail to update it as needed, as shown in a
report from Laurenz Albe. We already had such a prohibition in place for
ALTER TABLE, but the CREATE INDEX syntax missed the check.
Fixing it requires an API change for DefineIndex(), which conceivably
would break third-party extensions if we were to back-patch it. Given
how long this problem has existed without being noticed, fixing it in
the back branches doesn't seem worth that risk.

These estimators returned 1 minus the corresponding equality/match
estimate, which is incorrect: we need to subtract off the fraction
of nulls in the column, since those are neither equal nor not equal
to the comparison value. The error only becomes obvious if the
nullfrac is large, but it could be very bad in a mostly-nulls
column, as reported in bug #14676 from Marko Tiikkaja.
To fix the <> case, refactor eqsel() and neqsel() to call a common
support routine, which can be made to account for nullfrac correctly.
The pattern-match cases were already factored that way, and it was
simply an oversight that patternsel() wasn't subtracting off nullfrac.
neqjoinsel() has a similar problem, but since we're elsewhere discussing
changing its behavior entirely, I left it alone for now.

When costing a nestloop with stop-at-first-inner-match semantics, and a
non-indexscan inner path, final_cost_nestloop() wants to charge the full
scan cost of the inner rel at least once, with additional scans charged
at inner_rescan_run_cost which might be less. However the logic for
doing this effectively assumed that outer_matched_rows is at least 1.
If it's zero, which is not unlikely for a small outer rel, we ended up
charging inner_run_cost plus N times inner_rescan_run_cost, as much as
double the correct charge for an outer rel with only one row that
we're betting won't be matched. (Unless the inner rel is materialized,
in which case it has very small inner_rescan_run_cost and the cost
is not so far off what it should have been.)
The upshot of this was that the planner had a tendency to select plans
that failed to make effective use of the stop-at-first-inner-match
semantics, and that might have Materialize nodes in them even when the
predicted number of executions of the Materialize subplan was only 1.
This was not so obvious before commit 9c7f5229a, because the case only
arose in connection with semi/anti joins where there's not freedom to
reverse the join order. But with the addition of unique-inner joins,
it could result in some fairly bad planning choices, as reported by
Teodor Sigaev. Indeed, some of the test cases added by that commit
have plans that look dubious on closer inspection, and are changed
by this patch.
Fix the logic to ensure that we don't charge for too many inner scans.
I chose to adjust it so that the full-freight scan cost is associated
with an unmatched outer row if possible, not a matched one, since that
seems like a better model of what would happen at runtime.
This is a longstanding bug, but given the lesser impact in back branches,
and the lack of field complaints, I won't risk a back-patch.

saves some duplicate code, and it makes the logic more similar to
walreceiver.c.

If a FOR ALL TABLES publication was present, \d of a table would claim
for each table that it was part of the publication, even for tables that
are ignored for this purpose, such as system tables and unlogged tables.
Fix the query by using the function pg_get_publication_tables(), which
was intended for this purpose.

Previously the changes to the "data" part of the sequence, i.e. the
one containing the current value, were not transactional, whereas the
definition, including minimum and maximum value were. That leads to
odd behaviour if a schema change is rolled back, with the potential
that out-of-bound sequence values can be returned.
To avoid the issue create a new relfilenode fork whenever ALTER
SEQUENCE is executed, similar to how TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY
already is already handled.
This commit also makes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART transactional, as it
seems to be too confusing to have some forms of ALTER SEQUENCE behave
transactionally, some forms not. This way setval() and nextval() are
not transactional, but DDL is, which seems to make sense.
This commit also rolls back parts of the changes made in 3d092fe540
and f8dc1985f as they're now not needed anymore.

Backpatch: Bug is in master/v10 only
On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.
We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions
such as Citus and pglogical where it's becoming a problem. A bit of
research suggests that the penalty for -fPIC is small, in the
single-digit-percentage range --- and there's none at all on popular
platforms such as x86_64. So let's just default to -fPIC everywhere
and provide one less thing for extension developers to worry about.
Per complaint from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to all supported branches.
(I did not bother to touch the recently-removed Makefiles for sco and
unixware in the back branches, though. We'd have no way to test that
it doesn't break anything on those platforms.)

Using the client pid can easily be non-unique when used on different
hosts. Using the backend pid should be guaranteed unique, since the
temporary slot gets removed when the client disconnects so it will be
gone even if the pid is renewed.

The GET/SET_n_BYTES macros are meant to be infrastructure for the
DatumGetFoo/FooGetDatum macros, which include a cast to the intended
target type. Using them directly without a cast, as DatumGetFloat4
and friends previously did, can yield warnings when -Wconversion is on.
This is of little significance when building Postgres proper, because
there are such a huge number of such warnings in the server that nobody
would think -Wconversion is of any use. But some extensions build with
-Wconversion due to outside constraints. Commit 14cca1bf8 did a disservice
to those extensions by moving DatumGetFloat4 et al into postgres.h,
where they can now cause warnings in extension builds.
To fix, use DatumGetInt32 and friends in place of the low-level macros.
This is arguably a bit cleaner anyway.
