The comment
/* On some platforms, readline is declared as readline(char *) */
is obsolete. The casting away of const can be removed.
The const in the readline() prototype was added in GNU readline 4.2,
released in 2001. BSD libedit has also had const in the prototype
since at least 2001.
(The commit that introduced this comment (187e865174) talked about
FreeBSD 4.8, which didn't have readline compatibility in libedit yet,
so it must have been talking about GNU readline in the base system.
This checks out, but already FreeBSD 5 had an updated GNU readline
with const.)

A couple of new options are added to this module to provide more control
on the ways bgworkers are started:
- A new GUC called worker_spi.role to control which role to use by
default when starting a worker.
- worker_spi_launch() gains three arguments: a role OID, a database OID
and flags (currently only BGWORKER_BYPASS_ALLOWCONN). By default, the
role OID and the database OID are InvalidOid, in which case the worker
would use the related GUCs.
Workers loaded by shared_preload_libraries use the default values
provided by the GUCs, with flags at 0. The options are given to the
main bgworker routine through bgw_extra. A test case is tweaked to
start two dynamic workers with databases and roles defined by the caller
of worker_spi_launch().
These additions will have the advantage of expanding the tests for
bgworkers, for at least two cases:
- BGWORKER_BYPASS_ALLOWCONN has no coverage in the core tree.
- A new bgworker flag is under discussion, and this eases the
integration of new tests.

The code in charge of copying the contents of PgBackendStatus to local
memory could fail on memory allocation because of an overflow on the
amount of memory to use. The overflow can happen when combining a high

This commit changes the WAL reader routines so as a FATAL for the
backend or exit(FAILURE) for the frontend is triggered if an allocation
for a WAL record decode fails in walreader.c, rather than treating this
case as bogus data, which would be equivalent to the end of WAL. The
key is to avoid palloc_extended(MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM) in walreader.c,
relying on plain palloc() calls.
The previous behavior could make WAL replay finish too early than it
should. For example, crash recovery finishing earlier may corrupt
clusters because not all the WAL available locally was replayed to
ensure a consistent state. Out-of-memory failures would show up
randomly depending on the memory pressure on the host, but one simple
case would be to generate a large record, then replay this record after
downsizing a host, as Ethan Mertz originally reported.
This relies on bae868caf2, as the WAL reader routines now do the
memory allocation required for a record only once its header has been
fully read and validated, making xl_tot_len trustable. Making the WAL
reader react differently on out-of-memory or bogus record data would
require ABI changes, so this is the safest choice for stable branches.
Also, it is worth noting that 3f1ce97346 has been using a plain
palloc() in this code for some time now.
Thanks to Noah Misch and Thomas Munro for the discussion.
Like the other commit, backpatch down to 12, leaving out v11 that will
be EOL'd soon. The behavior of considering a failed allocation as bogus
data comes originally from 0ffe11abd3, where the record length
retrieved from its header was not entirely trustable.

In a selective restore, ACLs for a table should be dumped if the
table is selected to be dumped. However, if the table has both
table-level and column-level ACLs, only the table-level ACL was
restored. This happened because _tocEntryRequired assumed that
an ACL could have only one dependency (the one on its table),
and punted if there was more than one. But since commit ea9125304,
column-level ACLs also depend on the table-level ACL if any, to
ensure correct ordering in parallel restores. To fix, adjust the
logic in _tocEntryRequired to ignore dependencies on ACLs.
I extended a test case in 002_pg_dump.pl so that it purports to
test for this; but in fact the test passes even without the fix.
That's because this bug only manifests during a selective restore,
while the scenarios 002_pg_dump.pl tests include only selective dumps.
Perhaps somebody would like to extend the script so that it can test
scenarios including selective restore, but I'm not touching that.

The retry loop is needed because heap_page_prune() calls
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() and then lazy_scan_prune() does the same
thing again, and they might get different answers due to concurrent
clog updates. But this patch makes heap_page_prune() return the
HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() results that it computed back to the
caller, which allows lazy_scan_prune() to avoid needing to recompute
those values in the first place. That's nice both because it eliminates
the need for a retry loop and also because it's cheaper.

This adjusts the expression evaluation code for CoerceViaIO and
CoerceToDomain to handle errors softly if needed.
For CoerceViaIo, this means using InputFunctionCallSafe(), which
provides the option to handle errors softly, instead of calling the
type input function directly.
For CoerceToDomain, this simply entails replacing the ereport() in
ExecEvalConstraintCheck() by errsave().
In both cases, the ErrorSaveContext to be used when evaluating the
expression is stored by ExecInitExprRec() in the expression's struct
in the expression's ExprEvalStep. The ErrorSaveContext is passed by
setting ExprState.escontext to point to it when calling
ExecInitExprRec() on the expression whose errors are to be handled
softly.
Note that no call site of ExecInitExprRec() has been changed in this
commit, so there's no functional change. This is intended for
implementing new SQL/JSON expression nodes in future commits that
will use to it suppress errors that may occur during type coercions.

SetResultVariables() was not getting called when "printing" a result
that failed (see around PrintQueryResult), which would cause some
variables to not be set, like ROW_COUNT, SQLSTATE or ERROR. This can be
confusing as a previous result would be retained.
This state could be reached when failing to process tuples in a few
commands, like \gset when it returns no tuples, or \crosstabview. A
test is added, based on \gset.
This is arguably a bug fix, but no backpatch is done as there is a risk

After receiving position data for a lexeme, tsvectorrecv()
advanced its "datalen" value by (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntry)
where the correct calculation is (npos+1)*sizeof(WordEntryPos).
This accidentally failed to render the constructed tsvector
invalid, but it did result in leaving some wasted space
approximately equal to the space consumed by the position data.
That could have several bad effects:
* Disk space is wasted if the received tsvector is stored into a
table as-is.
* A legal tsvector could get rejected with "maximum total lexeme
length exceeded" if the extra space pushes it over the MAXSTRPOS
limit.
* In edge cases, the finished tsvector could be assigned a length
larger than the allocated size of its palloc chunk, conceivably
leading to SIGSEGV when the tsvector gets copied somewhere else.
The odds of a field failure of this sort seem low, though valgrind
testing could probably have found this.
While we're here, let's express the calculation as
"sizeof(uint16) + npos * sizeof(WordEntryPos)" to avoid the type
pun implicit in the "npos + 1" formulation. It's not wrong
given that WordEntryPos had better be 2 bytes to avoid padding
problems, but it seems clearer this way.

As of Xcode 15 (macOS Sonoma), the linker complains about duplicate
references to the same library. We see warnings about libpgport and
libpgcommon being duplicated in many client executables. This is a
consequence of the hack introduced in commit 6b7ef076b to list
libpgport before libpq while not removing it from $(LIBS).
(Commit 8396447cd later applied the same rule to libpgcommon.)
The concern in 6b7ef076b was to ensure that the client executable
wouldn't unintentionally depend on pgport functions from libpq.
That concern is obsolete on any platform for which we can do symbol
export control, because if we can then the pgport functions in libpq
won't be exposed anyway. Hence, we can fix this problem by just
removing libpgport and libpgcommon from $(libpq_pgport), and letting
clients depend on the occurrences in $(LIBS).
In the back branches, do that only on macOS (which we know has
symbol export control). In HEAD, let's be more aggressive and
remove the extra libraries everywhere. The only still-supported
platforms that lack export control are MinGW/Cygwin, and it
doesn't seem worth sweating over ABI stability details for those
(or if somebody does care, it'd probably be possible to perform
symbol export control for those too). As well as being simpler,
this might give some microscopic improvement in build time.
The meson build system is not changed here, as it doesn't have
this particular disease, though it does have some related issues
that we'll fix separately.

Improve find_base_rel() and find_base_rel_ignore_join() so that they
raise an ERROR if they ever receive a negative relid value in
non-cassert builds. If either of these functions had ever received a
negative relid then they'd have attempted to access memory that does not
belong to simple_rel_array.
Because no evidence has been presented of actual cases where bugs have
caused this to happen, here we take a lightweight approach to checking
for negative values and simply cast both values to uint32 before
performing the comparison. This will cause any negative relids to be
seen as greater than simple_rel_array_size which will ERROR rather than
attempt to access a negative simple_rel_array element. Obviously, the
run-time error is better than a crash, so it makes sense to protect
against this, especially when it can be done without adding any
additional run-time overhead.
There is a slight change here if the functions are ever called with a
relid of 0. This will pass the bounds check, but that array entry
should be NULL (along with the corresponding simple_rte_array entry), so
won't pass the "if (rel)" condition and still fall through and raise an
ERROR.

nbtree's mark/restore processing failed to correctly handle an edge case
involving array key advancement and related search-type scan key state.
Scans with ScalarArrayScalarArrayOpExpr quals requiring mark/restore
processing (for a merge join) could incorrectly conclude that an
affected array/scan key must not have advanced during the time between
marking and restoring the scan's position.
As a result of all this, array key handling within btrestrpos could skip
a required call to _bt_preprocess_keys(). This confusion allowed later
primitive index scans to overlook tuples matching the true current array
keys. The scan's search-type scan keys would still have spurious values
corresponding to the final array element(s) -- not values matching the
first/now-current array element(s).
To fix, remember that "array key wraparound" has taken place during the
ongoing btrescan in a flag variable stored in the scan's state, and use
that information at the point where btrestrpos decides if another call
to _bt_preprocess_keys is required.
Oversight in commit 70bc5833, which taught nbtree to handle array keys
during mark/restore processing, but missed this subtlety. That commit
was itself a bug fix for an issue in commit 9e8da0f7, which taught
nbtree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively.

Backpatch: 11- (all supported branches).
This code was sloppy about comparison of index columns that
are expressions. It didn't reliably reject cases where one
index has an expression where the other has a plain column,
and it could index off the start of the attmap array, leading
to a Valgrind complaint (though an actual crash seems unlikely).
I'm not sure that the expression-vs-column sloppiness leads
to any visible problem in practice, because the subsequent
comparison of the two expression lists would reject cases
where the indexes have different numbers of expressions
overall. Maybe we could falsely match indexes having the
same expressions in different column positions, but it'd
require unlucky contents of the word before the attmap array.
It's not too surprising that no problem has been reported
