Tomas Vondra 2c7ea57e56 Revert "Logical decoding of sequences"
This reverts a sequence of commits, implementing features related to
logical decoding and replication of sequences:

 - 0da92dc530

 - 05843b1aa4

The implementation has issues, mostly due to combining transactional and
non-transactional behavior of sequences. It's not clear how this could
be fixed, but it'll require reworking significant part of the patch.

Robert Haas 51c0d186d9 Allow parallel zstd compression when taking a base backup.
libzstd allows transparent parallel compression just by setting
an option when creating the compression context, so permit that
for both client and server-side backup compression. To use this,
use something like pg_basebackup --compress WHERE-zstd:workers=N
where WHERE is "client" or "server" and N is an integer.

When compression is performed on the server side, this will spawn
threads inside the PostgreSQL backend. While there is almost no
PostgreSQL server code which is thread-safe, the threads here are used
internally by libzstd and touch only data structures controlled by
libzstd.

Patch by me, based in part on earlier work by Dipesh Pandit
and Jeevan Ladhe. Reviewed by Justin Pryzby.

Tomas Vondra 923def9a53 Allow specifying column lists for logical replication
This allows specifying an optional column list when adding a table to
logical replication. The column list may be specified after the table
name, enclosed in parentheses. Columns not included in this list are not
sent to the subscriber, allowing the schema on the subscriber to be a
subset of the publisher schema.

For UPDATE/DELETE publications, the column list needs to cover all
REPLICA IDENTITY columns. For INSERT publications, the column list is
arbitrary and may omit some REPLICA IDENTITY columns. Furthermore, if
the table uses REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, column list is not allowed.

The column list can contain only simple column references. Complex
expressions, function calls etc. are not allowed. This restriction could
be relaxed in the future.

During the initial table synchronization, only columns included in the
column list are copied to the subscriber. If the subscription has
several publications, containing the same table with different column
lists, columns specified in any of the lists will be copied.

This means all columns are replicated if the table has no column list
at all (which is treated as column list with all columns), or when of
the publications is defined as FOR ALL TABLES (possibly IN SCHEMA that
matches the schema of the table).

For partitioned tables, publish_via_partition_root determines whether
the column list for the root or the leaf relation will be used. If the
parameter is 'false' (the default), the list defined for the leaf
relation is used. Otherwise, the column list for the root partition
will be used.

Psql commands \dRp+ and \d <table-name> now display any column lists.

Tomas Vondra 75b1521dae Add decoding of sequences to built-in replication
This commit adds support for decoding of sequences to the built-in
replication (the infrastructure was added by commit 0da92dc530).

The syntax and behavior mostly mimics handling of tables, i.e. a
publication may be defined as FOR ALL SEQUENCES (replicating all
sequences in a database), FOR ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA (replicating
all sequences in a particular schema) or individual sequences.

To publish sequence modifications, the publication has to include
'sequence' action. The protocol is extended with a new message,
describing sequence increments.

A new system view pg_publication_sequences lists all the sequences
added to a publication, both directly and indirectly. Various psql
commands (\d and \dRp) are improved to also display publications
including a given sequence, or sequences included in a publication.

Robert Haas ffd53659c4 Replace BASE_BACKUP COMPRESSION_LEVEL option with COMPRESSION_DETAIL.
There are more compression parameters that can be specified than just
an integer compression level, so rename the new COMPRESSION_LEVEL
option to COMPRESSION_DETAIL before it gets released. Introduce a
flexible syntax for that option to allow arbitrary options to be
specified without needing to adjust the main replication grammar,
and common code to parse it that is shared between the client and
the server.

This commit doesn't actually add any new compression parameters,
so the only user-visible change is that you can now type something
like pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5 instead of writing just
pg_basebackup --compress gzip:5. However, it should make it easy to
add new options. If for example gzip starts offering fries, we can
support pg_basebackup --compress gzip:level=5,fries=true for the
benefit of users who want fries with that.

Along the way, this fixes a few things in pg_basebackup so that the
pg_basebackup can be used with a server-side compression algorithm
that pg_basebackup itself does not understand. For example,
pg_basebackup --compress server-lz4 could still succeed even if
only the server and not the client has LZ4 support, provided that
the other options to pg_basebackup don't require the client to
decompress the archive.

Michael Paquier 9198e63996 doc: Standardize capitalization of term "hot standby"/"Hot Standby"
"Hot Standby" was capitalized in a couple of places in the docs, as the
style primarily used when it was introduced, but this has not been much
respected across the years.  Per discussion, it is more natural for the
reader to use "hot standby" (aka lower-case only) when in the middle of
a sentence, and "Hot standby" (aka capitalized) in a title.  This commit
adjusts all the places in the docs to be consistent with this choice,
rather than applying one style or the other midway.

Commit 0ba281cb4b added a new syntax

support for the legacy syntax. This isn't important for PostgreSQL,
where pg_basebackup works with older server versions but not newer
ones, but it could in theory matter for out-of-core users of the
replication protocol.

Discussion on pgsql-hackers, however, suggests that no one is aware
of any out-of-core use of the BASE_BACKUP command, and the consensus
is in favor of removing support for the old syntax to simplify the
code, so do that.

Robert Haas 0ad8032910 Server-side gzip compression.
pg_basebackup's --compression option now lets you write either
"client-gzip" or "server-gzip" instead of just "gzip" to specify
where the compression should be performed. If you write simply
"gzip" it's taken to mean "client-gzip" unless you also use
--target, in which case it is interpreted to mean "server-gzip",
because that's the only thing that makes any sense in that case.

To make this work, the BASE_BACKUP command now takes new
COMPRESSION and COMPRESSION_LEVEL options.

At present, pg_basebackup cannot decompress .gz files, so
server-side compression will cause a failure if (1) -Ft is not
used or (2) -R is used or (3) -D- is used without --no-manifest.

Along the way, I removed the information message added by commit
5c649fe153 which occurred if you
specified no compression level and told you that the default level
had been used instead. That seemed like more output than most
people would want.

Also along the way, this adds a check to the server for
unrecognized base backup options. This repairs a bug introduced
by commit 0ba281cb4b.

This commit also adds some new test cases for pg_verifybackup.
They take a server-side backup with and without compression, and
then extract the backup if we have the OS facilities available
to do so, and then run pg_verifybackup on the extracted
directory. That is a good test of the functionality added by
this commit and also improves test coverage for the backup target
patch (commit 3500ccc39b) and for
pg_verifybackup itself.

Patch by me, with a bug fix by Jeevan Ladhe.  The patch set of which
this is a part has also had review and/or testing from Tushar Ahuja,

Robert Haas 3500ccc39b Support base backup targets.
pg_basebackup now has a --target=TARGET[:DETAIL] option. If specfied,
it is sent to the server as the value of the TARGET option to the
BASE_BACKUP command. If DETAIL is included, it is sent as the value of
the new TARGET_DETAIL option to the BASE_BACKUP command.  If the
target is anything other than 'client', pg_basebackup assumes that it
will now be the server's job to write the backup in a location somehow
defined by the target, and that it therefore needs to write nothing
locally. However, the server will still send messages to the client
for progress reporting purposes.

On the server side, we now support two additional types of backup
targets.  There is a 'blackhole' target, which just throws away the
backup data without doing anything at all with it. Naturally, this
should only be used for testing and debugging purposes, since you will
not actually have a backup when it finishes running. More usefully,
there is also a 'server' target, so you can now use something like
'pg_basebackup -Xnone -t server:/SOME/PATH' to write a backup to some
location on the server. We can extend this to more types of targets
in the future, and might even want to create an extensibility
mechanism for adding new target types.

Since WAL fetching is handled with separate client-side logic, it's
not part of this mechanism; thus, backups with non-default targets
must use -Xnone or -Xfetch.

this is a part has also had review and/or testing from Tushar Ahuja,

Robert Haas cc333f3233 Modify pg_basebackup to use a new COPY subprotocol for base backups.
In the new approach, all files across all tablespaces are sent in a
single COPY OUT operation. The CopyData messages are no longer raw
archive content; rather, each message is prefixed with a type byte
that describes its purpose, e.g. 'n' signifies the start of a new
archive and 'd' signifies archive or manifest data. This protocol
is significantly more extensible than the old approach, since we can
later create more message types, though not without concern for
backward compatibility.

The new protocol sends a few things to the client that the old one
did not. First, it sends the name of each archive explicitly, instead
of letting the client compute it. This is intended to make it easier
to write future patches that might send archives in a format other
that tar (e.g. cpio, pax, tar.gz). Second, it sends explicit progress
messages rather than allowing the client to assume that progress is
defined by the number of bytes received. This will help with future
features where the server compresses the data, or sends it someplace
directly rather than transmitting it to the client.

The old protocol is still supported for compatibility with previous
releases. The new protocol is selected by means of a new
TARGET option to the BASE_BACKUP command. Currently, the
only supported target is 'client'. Support for additional
targets will be added in a later commit.

Patch by me. The patch set of which this is a part has had review
and/or testing from Jeevan Ladhe, Tushar Ahuja, Suraj Kharage,

Tom Lane 160c025880 libpq: reject extraneous data after SSL or GSS encryption handshake.
libpq collects up to a bufferload of data whenever it reads data from
the socket.  When SSL or GSS encryption is requested during startup,
any additional data received with the server's yes-or-no reply
remained in the buffer, and would be treated as already-decrypted data
once the encryption handshake completed.  Thus, a man-in-the-middle
with the ability to inject data into the TCP connection could stuff
some cleartext data into the start of a supposedly encryption-protected
database session.

This could probably be abused to inject faked responses to the
client's first few queries, although other details of libpq's behavior
make that harder than it sounds.  A different line of attack is to
exfiltrate the client's password, or other sensitive data that might
be sent early in the session.  That has been shown to be possible with
a server vulnerable to CVE-2021-23214.

To fix, throw a protocol-violation error if the internal buffer
is not empty after the encryption handshake.

Our thanks to Jacob Champion for reporting this problem.

This will be useful for an upcoming patch related to pg_receivewal, to

than the last WAL position flushed by the backend (as reported by
IDENTIFY_SYSTEM) if the archive directory is found as empty, which would

Robert Haas 0ba281cb4b Flexible options for BASE_BACKUP.
Previously, BASE_BACKUP used an entirely hard-coded syntax, but that's
hard to extend. Instead, adopt the same kind of syntax we've used for
SQL commands such as VACUUM, ANALYZE, COPY, and EXPLAIN, where it's
not necessary for all of the option names to be parser keywords.

In the new syntax, most of the options now take an optional Boolean
argument. To match our practice in other in places, the options which
the old syntax called NOWAIT and NOVERIFY_CHECKSUMS options are in the
new syntax called WAIT and VERIFY_CHECKUMS, and the default value is
false. In the new syntax, the FAST option has been replaced by a
CHECKSUM option whose value may be 'fast' or 'spread'.

This commit does not remove support for the old syntax. It just adds
the new one as an additional option, and makes pg_basebackup prefer
the new syntax when the server is new enough to support it.

Amit Kapila a8fd13cab0 Add support for prepared transactions to built-in logical replication.
To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the
built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things:

* Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API
callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol.

* Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase
transactions by replaying them on prepare.

* Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable
two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync
is over.

We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions
during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We
don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase,
and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know
where to send the data anyway.

The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This
can be done as a separate patch.

We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can
lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to
refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription
unless copy_data option is false.

Amit Kapila cda03cfed6 Allow enabling two-phase option via replication protocol.
Extend the replication command CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT to support the
TWO_PHASE option. This will allow decoding commands like PREPARE
TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED and ROLLBACK PREPARED for slots created with
this option. The decoding of the transaction happens at prepare command.

This patch also adds support of two-phase in pg_recvlogical via a new
option --two-phase.

This option will also be used by future patches that allow streaming of
transactions at prepare time for built-in logical replication. With this,
the out-of-core logical replication solutions can enable replication of
two-phase transactions via replication protocol.

David Rowley 04539e73fa Use the correct article for abbreviations
We've accumulated quite a mix of instances of "an SQL" and "a SQL" in the
documents.  It would be good to be a bit more consistent with these.

The most recent version of the SQL standard I looked at seems to prefer
"an SQL".  That seems like a good lead to follow, so here we change all
instances of "a SQL" to become "an SQL".  Most instances correctly use
"an SQL" already, so it also makes sense to use the dominant variation in
order to minimise churn.

Additionally, there were some other abbreviations that needed to be
adjusted. FSM, SSPI, SRF and a few others.  Also fix some pronounceable,
abbreviations to use "a" instead of "an".  For example, "a SASL" instead
of "an SASL".

Here I've only adjusted the documents and error messages.  Many others
still exist in source code comments.  Translator hint comments seem to be
the biggest culprit.  It currently does not seem worth the churn to change
these.

Amit Kapila ac4645c015 Allow pgoutput to send logical decoding messages.
The output plugin accepts a new parameter (messages) that controls if
logical decoding messages are written into the replication stream. It is
useful for those clients that use pgoutput as an output plugin and needs
to process messages that were written by pg_logical_emit_message().

Although logical streaming replication protocol supports logical
decoding messages now, logical replication does not use this feature yet.

Tom Lane d16f8c8e41 Mark default_transaction_read_only as GUC_REPORT.
This allows clients to find out the setting at connection time without
having to expend a query round trip to do so; which is helpful when
trying to identify read/write servers.  (One must also look at
in_hot_standby, but that's already GUC_REPORT, cf bf8a662c9.)
Modifying libpq to make use of this will come soon, but I felt it
cleaner to push the server change separately.

There is no CopyResponse message; it should be CopyOutResponse.

Also, if there is no WAL to stream, the server does not immediately
send a CommandComplete; it's a historical timeline, so it will send a
response tuple first.

Aside from being queriable via SHOW, this value is sent to the client
immediately at session startup, and again later on if the server gets
promoted to primary during the session.  The immediate report will be
used in an upcoming patch to avoid an extra round trip when trying to
connect to a primary server.

Tom Lane 622ae4621e Fix assorted issues in backend's GSSAPI encryption support.
Unrecoverable errors detected by GSSAPI encryption can't just be
reported with elog(ERROR) or elog(FATAL), because attempting to
send the error report to the client is likely to lead to infinite
recursion or loss of protocol sync.  Instead make this code do what
the SSL encryption code has long done, which is to just report any
such failure to the server log (with elevel COMMERROR), then pretend
we've lost the connection by returning errno = ECONNRESET.

Along the way, fix confusion about whether message translation is done
by pg_GSS_error() or its callers (the latter should do it), and make
the backend version of that function work more like the frontend
version.

Avoid allocating the port->gss struct until it's needed; we surely
don't need to allocate it in the postmaster.

Improve logging of "connection authorized" messages with GSS enabled.
(As part of this, I back-patched the code changes from dc11f31a1.)

Make BackendStatusShmemSize() account for the GSS-related space that
will be allocated by CreateSharedBackendStatus().  This omission
could possibly cause out-of-shared-memory problems with very high
max_connections settings.

Remove arbitrary, pointless restriction that only GSS authentication
can be used on a GSS-encrypted connection.

Improve documentation; notably, document the fact that libpq now
prefers GSS encryption over SSL encryption if both are possible.

Per report from Mikael Gustavsson.  Back-patch to v12 where
this code was introduced.

Alvaro Herrera 4e9821b6fa Restore replication protocol's duplicate command tags
I removed the duplicate command tags for START_REPLICATION inadvertently
in commit 07082b08cc, but the replication protocol requires them.  The
fact that the replication protocol was broken was not noticed because
all our test cases use an optimized code path that exits early, failing
to verify that the behavior is correct for non-optimized cases.  Put
them back.

Also document this protocol quirk.

Add a test case that shows the failure.  It might still succeed even
without the patch when run on a fast enough server, but it suffices to
show the bug in enough cases that it would be noticed in buildfarm.
