When writing / debugging an isolation test it sometimes is useful to see which
session holds what lock etc. To make it easier, both as part of spec files and
interactively, append the session name to application_name. Since b1907d688
application_name already contains the test name, this appends the session's
name to that.
insert-conflict-specconflict did something like this manually, which can now
be removed.
As we have done lately with other test infrastructure improvements, backpatch
this change, to make it easier to backpatch tests.

We publish the child table's data twice for a publication that has both
child and parent tables and is published with publish_via_partition_root
as true. This happens because subscribers will initiate synchronization
using both parent and child tables, since it gets both as separate tables

REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could
corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel
that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the
toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing
the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values
committed.
The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the
toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the
transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex
happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any
new rows inserted (or deleted).
An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is
a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename
the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible
to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the
underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is
backpatched down to 13, where it is possible, thanks to c4a7a39, to use
allow_system_table_mods in a test suite.

The existing pg_upgrade/test.sh and the buildfarm code have been holding
the same set of SQL queries when doing cross-version upgrade tests to
adapt the objects created by the regression tests before the upgrade
(mostly, incompatible or non-existing objects need to be dropped from
the origin, perhaps re-created).
This moves all those SQL queries into a new, separate, file with a set
of \if clauses to handle the version checks depending on the old version
of the cluster to-be-upgraded.
The long-term plan is to make the buildfarm code re-use this new SQL
file, so as committers are able to fix any compatibility issues in the
tests of pg_upgrade with a refresh of the core code, without having to
poke at the buildfarm client. Note that this is only able to handle the
main regression test suite, and that nothing is done yet for contrib
modules yet (these have more issues like their database names).

When a stored expression depends on a user-defined cast, the backend
records the dependency as being on the cast's implementation function
--- or indeed, if there's no cast function involved but just
RelabelType or CoerceViaIO, no dependency is recorded at all. This
is problematic for pg_dump, which is at risk of dumping things in the
wrong order leading to restore failures. Given the lack of previous
reports, the risk isn't that high, but it can be demonstrated if the
cast is used in some view whose rowtype is then used as an input or
result type for some other function. (That results in the view
getting hoisted into the functions portion of the dump, ahead of
the cast.)
A logically bulletproof fix for this would require including the
cast's OID in the parsed form of the expression, whence it could be
extracted by dependency.c, and then the stored dependency would force
pg_dump to do the right thing. Such a change would be fairly invasive,
and certainly not back-patchable. Moreover, since we'd prefer that
an expression using cast syntax be equal() to one doing the same
thing by explicit function call, the cast OID field would have to
have special ignored-by-comparisons semantics, making things messy.
So, let's instead fix this by a very simple hack in pg_dump: change
the object-type priority order so that casts are initially sorted
before functions, immediately after types. This fixes the problem
in a fairly direct way for casts that have no implementation function.
For those that do, the implementation function will be hoisted to just
before the cast by the dependency sorting step, so that we still have
a valid dump order. (I'm not sure that this provides a full guarantee
of no problems; but since it's been like this for many years without
any previous reports, this is probably enough to fix it in practice.)

If a table contains a generated column that's preceded by a dropped
column, dumpTableData_insert failed to account for the dropped
column, and would emit DEFAULT placeholder(s) in the wrong column(s).
This resulted in failures at restore time. The default COPY code path
did not have this bug, likely explaining why it wasn't noticed sooner.
While we're fixing this, we can be a little smarter about the
situation: (1) avoid unnecessarily fetching the values of generated
columns, (2) omit generated columns from the output, too, if we're
using --column-inserts. While these modes aren't expected to be
as high-performance as the COPY path, we might as well be as

This commit adds to the main regression test suite a table with all
the in-core data types (some exceptions apply). This table is not
dropped, so as pg_upgrade would be able to check the binary
compatibility of the types tracked in the table. If a new type is added
in core, this part of the tests would need a refresh but the tests are
designed to fail if that were to happen.
As this is useful for upgrades and that these rely on the objects
created in the regression test suite of the old version upgraded from,
a backpatch down to 12 is done, which is the last point where a binary
incompatible change has been done (7c15cef). This will hopefully be
enough to find out if something gets broken during the development of a
new version of Postgres, so as it is possible to take actions in
pg_upgrade itself in this case (like 0ccfc28 for sql_identifier).
An area that is not covered yet is related to external modules, which
may create their own types. The testing infrastructure of pg_upgrade is
not integrated yet with the external modules stored in core
(src/test/modules/ or contrib/, all use the same database name for their
tests so there would be an overlap). This could be improved in the

The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally
bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is
safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as
to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno.
Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things
completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors.
To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or
TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases
that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this,
but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a
constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors
in basically identical ways, which they didn't before.
This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places,
which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of
ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not
to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored
errno but neglected to.
In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary
local variables.
There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from
fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch.
While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for

Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose,
as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe. I think it's
right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory.
Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls.
Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any
gzclose() call where we care about the error status. (There are
some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous
step.) This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant
error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno.
We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases
are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's
not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required.
Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time
errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself;
and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno.
Back-patch to v12. These mistakes are older than that, but between
the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact
that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need

the possible surprise factor, it's quite likely that the current role
doesn't have permissions to set the password of the original role.

PostgreSQL 13 and newer versions are directly impacted by that through
the SQL function normalize(), which would cause a call of this function
to write one byte past its allocation if using in input an empty
string after recomposing the string with NFC and NFKC. Older versions
(v10~v12) are not directly affected by this problem as the only code
path using normalization is SASLprep in SCRAM authentication that
forbids the case of an empty string, but let's make the code more robust
anyway there so as any out-of-core callers of this function are covered.
The solution chosen to fix this issue is simple, with the addition of a
fast-exit path if the decomposed string is found as empty. This would
only happen for an empty string as at its lowest level a codepoint would
be decomposed as itself if it has no entry in the decomposition table or
if it has a decomposition size of 0.
Some tests are added to cover this issue in v13~. Note that an empty
string has always been considered as normalized (grammar "IS NF[K]{C,D}
NORMALIZED", through the SQL function is_normalized()) for all the
operations allowed (NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD) since this feature has been
introduced as of 2991ac5. This behavior is unchanged but some tests are
added in v13~ to check after that.
I have also checked "make normalization-check" in src/common/unicode/,

independently of this commit).

some animals would be useful with an extra -Werror to help with the
detection of incorrect placeholders (see b0cf544), dangomushi being
one.

protocol.sgml documented the layout for Type messages, but completely
dropped the ball otherwise, failing to explain what they are, when
they are sent, or what they're good for. While at it, do a little
copy-editing on the description of Relation messages.
In passing, adjust the comment for apply_handle_type() to make it
clearer that we choose not to do anything when receiving a Type
message, not that we think it has no use whatsoever.
Per question from Stefen Hillman.

We've seen intermittent failures in this test on slower buildfarm
machines, which I think can be explained by assuming that autovacuum
emitted some additional WAL. Disable autovacuum to stabilize it.
In passing, use stringwise not numeric comparison to compare
WAL file names. Doesn't matter at present, but they are
hex strings not decimal ...

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.

The server collects up to a bufferload of data whenever it reads data

request message 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 be abused to send faked SQL commands to the server,
although that would only work if the server did not demand any
authentication data. (However, a server relying on SSL certificate
authentication might well not do so.)

is not empty after the encryption handshake.

Currently, lastOverflowedXid is never reset. It's just adjusted on new
transactions known to be overflowed. But if there are no overflowed
transactions for a long time, snapshots could be mistakenly marked as
suboverflowed due to wraparound.
This commit fixes this issue by resetting lastOverflowedXid when needed
altogether with KnownAssignedXids.
Backpatch to all supported versions.

When a role being dropped contains is referenced by catalog objects that
are concurrently also being dropped, a crash can result while trying to
construct the string that describes the objects. Suppress that by
ignoring objects whose descriptions are returned as NULL.
The majority of relevant codesites were already cautious about this
already; we had just missed a couple.
This is an old bug, so backpatch all the way back.
