The existing code tried to do syscache lookups in an already-failed
transaction, which is problematic to say the least. After some
consideration of alternatives, the best fix seems to be to just drop
type names from the error message altogether. The table and column
names seem like sufficient localization. If the user is unsure what
types are involved, she can check the local and remote table
definitions.
Having done that, we can also discard the LogicalRepTypMap hash
table, which had no other use. Arguably, LOGICAL_REP_MSG_TYPE
replication messages are now obsolete as well; but we should
probably keep them in case some other use emerges. (The complexity
of removing something from the replication protocol would likely
outweigh any savings anyhow.)

Causing a core dump on out-of-memory seems pretty unfriendly,
and surely is far outside the expected behavior of a general-purpose
library. Just print an error message (as we did already) and return.
These functions unfortunately don't have an error return convention,
but code using them is probably just looking for a quick-n-dirty
print method and wouldn't bother to check anyway.
Although these functions are semi-deprecated, it still seems
appropriate to back-patch this. In passing, also back-patch

Instead use the common/int.h functions to check for integer overflow
in a more C-standard-compliant fashion. This is motivated by recent
failures on buildfarm member moonjelly, where it appears that
development-tip gcc is optimizing without regard to the -fwrapv
switch. Presumably that's a gcc bug that will be fixed soon, but
we might as well install cleaner coding here rather than wait.
(This does not address the question of whether we'll ever be able
to get rid of using -fwrapv. Testing shows that this spot is the
only place where doing so creates visible regression test failures,
but unfortunately that proves very little.)
Back-patch to v12. The common/int.h functions exist in v11, but
that branch doesn't use them in any client-side code. I judge
that this case isn't interesting enough in the real world to take
even a small risk of issues from being the first such use.

As reported by Andrey, it is possible to trigger the assertion of this

It's not really necessary for this function to open or lock the
relation associated with the pg_policy entry it's modifying. The
error checks it's making on the rel are if anything counterproductive
(e.g., if we don't want to allow installation of policies on system
catalogs, here is not the place to prevent that). In particular, it
seems just wrong to insist on an ownership check. That has the net
effect of forcing people to use superuser for DROP OWNED BY, which
surely is not an effect we want. Also there is no point in rebuilding
the dependencies of the policy expressions, which aren't being
changed. Lastly, locking the table also seems counterproductive; it's
not helping to prevent race conditions, since we failed to re-read the
pg_policy row after acquiring the lock. That means that concurrent
DDL would likely result in "tuple concurrently updated/deleted"
errors; which is the same behavior this code will produce, with less
overhead.

A walsender process that has executed a SQL command left the text of
that command in pg_stat_activity.query indefinitely, which is quite
confusing if it's in RUNNING state but not doing that query. An easy
and useful fix is to treat replication commands as if they were SQL
queries, and show them in pg_stat_activity according to the same rules
as for regular queries. While we're at it, it seems also sensible to
set debug_query_string, allowing error logging and debugging to see
the replication command.
While here, clean up assorted silliness in exec_replication_command:

For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that
session and step names be written with double quotes. This is
fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially
since the names that people actually choose almost always look
like normal identifiers. Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow
SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.
(They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any
case-folding logic. Also there's no provision for U&"..." names,
not that anyone's likely to care.)
There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write
"foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers,
but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark.
I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove
unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my

Our uses of gss_display_status() and gss_display_name() assumed
that the gss_buffer_desc strings returned by those functions are
null-terminated. It appears that they generally are, given the
lack of field complaints up to now. However, the available
documentation does not promise this, and some man pages
for gss_display_status() show examples that rely on the
gss_buffer_desc.length field instead of expecting null
termination. Also, we now have a report that on some
implementations, clang's address sanitizer is of the opinion
that the byte after the specified length is undefined.
Hence, change the code to rely on the length field instead.

Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some
ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it.
Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from
the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns
too. Also there was no visual separation of a query's result
from subsequent isolationtester output. This made test result
files confusing and hard to read.

We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely
stable. Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures. I've spent a
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of
messages from different server processes.
We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order
of events that might occur in different orders. This patch adds
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive
before or after the completion of a step in another session. We might
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm. It also lets us
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm
instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable
to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches
to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.

Commits 84f5c2908 et al missed the need to cover plpgsql's "simple
expression" code path. If the first thing we execute after a
COMMIT/ROLLBACK is one of those, rather than a full-fledged SPI command,
we must explicitly do EnsurePortalSnapshotExists() to make sure we have
an outer snapshot. Note that it wouldn't be good enough to just push a
snapshot for the duration of the expression execution: what comes back
might be toasted, so we'd better have a snapshot protecting it.
The test case demonstrating this fact cheats a bit by marking a SQL

One of the error paths left *members uninitialized. That's not a live
bug, because most callers don't look at *members when the function
returns -1, but let's be tidy. One caller, in heap_lock_tuple(), does
"if (members != NULL) pfree(members)", but AFAICS it never passes an
invalid 'multi' value so it should not reach that error case.
The callers are also a bit inconsistent in their expectations.
heap_lock_tuple() pfrees the 'members' array if it's not-NULL, others
pfree() it if "nmembers >= 0", and others if "nmembers > 0". That's
not a live bug either, because the function should never return 0, but
add an Assert for that to make it more clear. I left the callers alone

During decoding for speculative inserts, we were relying for cleaning
toast hash on confirmation records or next change records. But that
could lead to multiple problems (a) memory leak if there is neither a
confirmation record nor any other record after toast insertion for a
speculative insert in the transaction, (b) error and assertion failures
if the next operation is not an insert/update on the same table.
The fix is to start queuing spec abort change and clean up toast hash
and change record during its processing. Currently, we are queuing the
spec aborts for both toast and main table even though we perform cleanup
while processing the main table's spec abort record. Later, if we have a
way to distinguish between the spec abort record of toast and the main
table, we can avoid queuing the change for spec aborts of toast tables.

This should have been updated in d2d8a229b, but it was overlooked.
According to 31a877f18 which added it, this file is meant to show the
results you get under default_transaction_isolation = serializable.
We've largely lost track of that goal in other isolation tests, but
as long as we've got this one, it should be right.
Noted while fooling about with the isolationtester.
Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is
inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for
tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC. (This seems wildly inconsistent
with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other
fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll
say it's intentional.) This has been observed to cause cosmetic
problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different
timezone.
To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if
that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1. This will give a result
that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but
that was true before, too. It's not terribly critical since we don't
do anything with the result except possibly print it. (Someday we
should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format
timestamp in the archive instead. That's not okay for a back-patched
bug fix, though.)
Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's
build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0. This case could only have
an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist,
or could in future.

quits before reading the query. Hence, we can't use a nonempty
query in cases where we need to wait for connection failures to
stop happening.
Per the precedent of commits c757a3da0 and 6d41dd045, we can pass
"undef" as the query in such cases to ensure that IPC::Run has
nothing to write. However, then we have to say that the expected
output is empty, and this exposes a deficiency in poll_query_until:
if psql fails altogether and returns empty stdout, poll_query_until
will treat that as a success! That's because, contrary to its
documentation, it makes no actual check for psql failure, looking
neither at the exit status nor at stderr.
To fix that, adjust poll_query_until to insist on empty stderr as
well as a stdout match. (I experimented with checking exit status
instead, but it seems that psql often does exit(1) in cases that we
need to consider successes. That might be something to fix someday,
but it would be a non-back-patchable behavior change.)
Back-patch to v10. The test cases needing this exist only as far
back as v11, but it seems wise to keep poll_query_until's behavior
the same in v10, in case we back-patch another such test case in
future. (9.6 does not currently need this change, because in that
branch poll_query_until can't be told to accept empty stdout as
a success case.)
Per assorted buildfarm failures, mostly on hoverfly.

Previously, a zero value for the relfilenode resulted in
a confusing error message about "unexpected duplicate".
This function returns NULL for other invalid relfilenode
values, so zero should be treated likewise.
It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Using an Assert to check the validity of incoming messages is an
extremely poor decision. In a debug build, it should not be that easy
for a broken or malicious remote client to crash the logrep worker.
The consequences could be even worse in non-debug builds, which will
fail to make such checks at all, leading to who-knows-what misbehavior.
Hence, promote every Assert that could possibly be triggered by wrong
or out-of-order replication messages to a full test-and-ereport.
To avoid bloating the set of messages the translation team has to cope
with, establish a policy that replication protocol violation error
reports don't need to be translated. Hence, all the new messages here
use errmsg_internal(). A couple of old messages are changed likewise
for consistency.
Along the way, fix some non-idiomatic or outright wrong uses of
hash_search().
Most of these mistakes are new with the "streaming replication"
patch (commit 464824323), but a couple go back a long way.
Back-patch as appropriate.
