Michael Paquier e578c17d81 Fix compilation warning in unicode_norm.c
80f8eb7 has introduced in unicode_norm.c some new code that uses
htonl().  On at least some FreeBSD environments, it is possible to find
that this function is undeclared, causing a compilation warning.  It is
worth noting that no buildfarm members have reported this issue.

Instead of adding a new inclusion to arpa/inet.h, switch to use
the equivalent defined in pg_bswap.h, to benefit from any built-in
function if the compiler has one.

Thomas Munro f0f13a3a08 Fix estimates for ModifyTable paths without RETURNING.
In the past, we always estimated that a ModifyTable node would emit the
same number of rows as its subpaths.  Without a RETURNING clause, the
correct estimate is zero.  Fix, in preparation for a proposed parallel
write patch that is sensitive to that number.

A remaining problem is that for RETURNING queries, the estimated width
is based on subpath output rather than the RETURNING tlist.

Peter Eisentraut 3fb676504d Adjust cycle detection examples and tests
Adjust the existing cycle detection example and test queries to put
the cycle column before the path column.  This is mainly because the
SQL-standard CYCLE clause puts them in that order, and so if we added
that feature that would make the sequence of examples more consistent
and easier to follow.

Noah Misch 88ea7a1188 Choose ppc compare_exchange constant path for more operand values.
The implementation uses smaller code when the "expected" operand is a
small constant, but the implementation needlessly defined the set of
acceptable constants more narrowly than the ABI does.  Core PostgreSQL
and PGXN don't use the constant path at all, so this is future-proofing.

Tom Lane 85d08b8b72 Band-aid new postgres_fdw test case to remove error text dependency.
Buildfarm member lorikeet is still failing the test from commit
32a9c0bdf, but now it's down to the should-have-foreseen-it problem
that the error message isn't what the expected-output file expects.
Let's see if we can get stable results by printing just the SQLSTATE.
I believe we'll reliably see ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE, since
pgfdw_report_error() will report that for any libpq-originated error.

There may be a better way to do this, but I'd like to get the
buildfarm back to green before we discuss further improvements.

Tom Lane eeb01eb1f5 Remove pointless error-code checking in pg_dump/parallel.c.
Commit fe27009cb tried to make parallel.c's Windows implementation of
piperead() translate Windows socket errors to Unix, but that didn't
actually work because TranslateSocketError() is backend-internal code
(and not even public there).  But on closer inspection, the sole
caller of this function doesn't actually care whether the result is
zero or negative, much less inspect the errno.  So the whole exercise
is totally useless, and has been since this code was introduced.
Rip it out and just call recv() directly.

Per buildfarm.

Tom Lane fe27009cbb Recognize network-failure errnos as indicating hard connection loss.
Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places)
received special treatment in our error handling logic.  This patch
changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are
also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely
to come back.

We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be
reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network
connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state.  Thus,
there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such
cases.  The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access()
will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than
ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure.  It's expected that this
will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bdf,
as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to
ECONNRESET.

The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN,
EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH.  Several of these
were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like
get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary.

As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined
everywhere.  POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that
seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the
buildfarm says about that.

Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm
thinks of it first.

Tom Lane bed90759fc Fix our Windows stat() emulation to handle file sizes > 4GB.
Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to Windows'
struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field.

Instead of relying on native stat(), use GetFileInformationByHandle().
This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather
slipshod emulations of stat().  We still need to jump through hoops
to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-(

Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into
its own file, win32stat.c.

Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(),
rather than treating it identically to stat()?

Tom Lane 7538708394 Avoid gratuitous inaccuracy in numeric width_bucket().
Multiply before dividing, not the reverse, so that cases that should
produce exact results do produce exact results.  (width_bucket_float8
got this right already.)  Even when the result is inexact, this avoids
making it more inexact, since only the division step introduces any
imprecision.

While at it, fix compute_bucket() to not uselessly repeat the sign
check already done by its caller, and avoid duplicating the
multiply/divide steps by adjusting variable usage.

Per complaint from Martin Visser.  Although this seems like a bug fix,
I'm hesitant to risk changing width_bucket()'s results in stable
branches, so no back-patch.

Tom Lane 8ce423b191 Fix numeric width_bucket() to allow its first argument to be infinite.
While the calculation is not well-defined if the bounds arguments are
infinite, there is a perfectly sane outcome if the test operand is
infinite: it's just like any other value that's before the first bucket
or after the last one.  width_bucket_float8() got this right, but
I was too hasty about the case when adding infinities to numerics
(commit a57d312a7), so that width_bucket_numeric() just rejected it.
Fix that, and sync the relevant error message strings.

It appears that commit cf63c641c, which intended to prevent
misoptimization of the result-building step in makeOrderedSetArgs,
didn't go far enough: buildfarm member hornet's version of xlc
is now optimizing back to the old, broken behavior in which
list_length(directargs) is fetched only after list_concat() has
changed that value.  I'm not entirely convinced whether that's
an undeniable compiler bug or whether it can be justified by a
sufficiently aggressive interpretation of C sequence points.

Tom Lane 3db322eaab Prevent internal overflows in date-vs-timestamp and related comparisons.
The date-vs-timestamp, date-vs-timestamptz, and timestamp-vs-timestamptz
comparators all worked by promoting the first type to the second and
then doing a simple same-type comparison.  This works fine, except
when the conversion result is out of range, in which case we throw an
entirely avoidable error.  The sources of such failures are
(a) type date can represent dates much farther in the future than
the timestamp types can;
(b) timezone rotation might cause a just-in-range timestamp value to
become a just-out-of-range timestamptz value.

Up to now we just ignored these corner-case issues, but now we have
an actual user complaint (bug #16657 from Huss EL-Sheikh), so let's
do something about it.

It turns out that commit 52ad1e659 already built all the necessary
infrastructure to support error-free comparisons, but neglected to
actually use it in the main-line code paths.  Fix that, do a little
bit of code style review, and remove the now-duplicate logic in
jsonpath_exec.c.

Back-patch to v13 where 52ad1e659 came in.  We could take this back
further by back-patching said infrastructure, but given the small
number of complaints so far, I don't feel a great need to.

Tom Lane 9e5f1f21ad Rethink recent fix for pg_dump's handling of extension config tables.
Commit 3eb3d3e78 was a few bricks shy of a load: while it correctly
set the table's "interesting" flag when deciding to dump the data of
an extension config table, it was not correct to clear that flag
if we concluded we shouldn't dump the data.  This led to the crash
reported in bug #16655, because in fact we'll traverse dumpTableSchema
anyway for all extension tables (to see if they have user-added
seclabels or RLS policies).

The right thing to do is to force "interesting" true in makeTableDataInfo,
and otherwise leave the flag alone.  (Doing it there is more future-proof
in case additional calls are added, and it also avoids setting the flag
unnecessarily if that function decides the table is non-dumpable.)

This investigation also showed that while only the --inserts code path
had an obvious failure in the case considered by 3eb3d3e78, the COPY
code path also has a problem with not having loaded table subsidiary
data.  That causes fmtCopyColumnList to silently return an empty string
instead of the correct column list.  That accidentally mostly works,
which perhaps is why we didn't notice this before.  It would only fail
if the restore column order is different from the dump column order,
which only happens in weird inheritance cases, so it's not surprising
nobody had hit the case with an extension config table.  Nonetheless,
it's a bug, and it goes a long way back, not just to v12 where the
--inserts code path started to have a problem with this.

In hopes of catching such cases a bit sooner in future, add some
Asserts that "interesting" has been set in both dumpTableData and
dumpTableSchema.  Adjust the test case added by 3eb3d3e78 so that it
checks the COPY rather than INSERT form of that bug, allowing it to
detect the longer-standing symptom.

Per bug #16655 from Cameron Daniel.  Back-patch to all supported
branches.

Fujii Masao 32a9c0bdf4 postgres_fdw: reestablish new connection if cached one is detected as broken.
In postgres_fdw, once remote connections are established, they are cached
and re-used for subsequent queries and transactions. There can be some
cases where those cached connections are unavaiable, for example,
by the restart of remote server. In these cases, previously an error was
reported and the query accessing to remote server failed if new remote
transaction failed to start because the cached connection was broken.

This commit improves postgres_fdw so that new connection is remade
if broken connection is detected when starting new remote transaction.
This is useful to avoid unnecessary failure of queries when connection is
broken but can be reestablished.

Tom Lane 53c6daff43 Fix two latent(?) bugs in equivclass.c.
get_eclass_for_sort_expr() computes expr_relids and nullable_relids
early on, even though they won't be needed unless we make a new
EquivalenceClass, which we often don't.  Aside from the probably-minor
inefficiency, there's a memory management problem: these bitmapsets will
be built in the caller's context, leading to dangling pointers if that
is shorter-lived than root->planner_cxt.  This would be a live bug if
get_eclass_for_sort_expr() could be called with create_it = true during
GEQO join planning.  So far as I can find, the core code never does
that, but it's hard to be sure that no extensions do, especially since
the comments make it clear that that's supposed to be a supported case.
Fix by not computing these values until we've switched into planner_cxt
to build the new EquivalenceClass.

generate_join_implied_equalities() uses inner_rel->relids to look up
relevant eclasses, but it ought to be using nominal_inner_relids.
This is presently harmless because a child RelOptInfo will always have
exactly the same eclass_indexes as its topmost parent; but that might
not be true forever, and anyway it makes the code confusing.

The first of these is old (introduced by me in f3b3b8d5b), so back-patch

as well back-patch it to keep the code looking similar across branches.

Tom Lane 9cc3d614a9 Doc: fix parameter names in the docs of a couple of functions.
The descriptions of make_interval() and pg_options_to_table()
were randomly different from the reality embedded in pg_proc.

(These are not all the discrepancies I found in a quick search,
but the others perhaps require more discussion, since there's
at least a case to be made for changing pg_proc not the docs.)

make_interval issue noted by Thomas Kellerer.

Tom Lane e899742081 Improve stability of identity.sql regression test.
I noticed while trying to run the regression tests under a low
geqo_threshold that one query on information_schema.columns had
unstable (as in, variable from one run to the next) output order.
This is pretty unsurprising given the complexity of the underlying
plan.  Interestingly, of this test's three nigh-identical queries on
information_schema.columns, the other two already had ORDER BY clauses
guaranteeing stable output.  Let's make this one look the same.

Back-patch to v10 where this test was added.  We've not heard field
reports of the test failing, but this experience shows that it can
happen when testing under even slightly unusual conditions.

Michael Paquier 10c5291cc2 Fix handling of redundant options with COPY for "freeze" and "header"
The handling of those options was inconsistent, as the processing used
directly the value assigned to the option to check if it was redundant,
leading to patterns like this one to succeed (note that false is
specified first):
COPY hoge to '/path/to/file/' (header off, header on);

And the opposite would fail correctly (note that true is first here):
COPY hoge to '/path/to/file/' (header on, header off);

While on it, add some tests to check for all redundant patterns with the
options of COPY.  I have gone through the code and did not notice
similar mistakes for other commands.

"header" got it wrong since b63990c, and "freeze" was wrong from the
start as of 8de72b6.  No backpatch is done per the lack of complaints.

Tom Lane 97b6144826 Make postgres.bki use the same literal-string syntax as postgresql.conf.
The BKI file's string quoting conventions were previously quite weird,
perhaps as a result of repurposing a function built to scan
single-quoted strings to scan double-quoted ones.  Change to use the
same rules as we use in GUC files, allowing some simplifications in
genbki.pl and initdb.c.

While at it, completely remove the backend's scanstr() function, which
was essentially a duplicate of the string dequoting code in guc-file.l.
Instead export that one (under a less generic name than it had) and let
bootscanner.l use it.  Now we can clarify that scansup.c exists only to
support the main lexer. We could alternatively have removed GUC_scanstr,
but this way seems better since the previous arrangement could mislead
a reader into thinking that scanstr() had something to do with the main
lexer's handling of string literals.  Maybe it did once, but if so it
was a long time ago.

This patch does not bump catversion, since the initially-installed
catalog contents don't change.  Note however that successful initdb
after applying this patch will require up-to-date postgres.bki as well
as postgres and initdb executables.

In passing, remove a bunch of very-long-obsolete #include's in
bootparse.y and bootscanner.l.

Peter Eisentraut 9081bddbd7 Improve <xref> vs. <command> formatting in the documentation
SQL commands are generally marked up as <command>, except when a link
to a reference page is used using <xref>.  But the latter doesn't
create monospace markup, so this looks strange especially when a
paragraph contains a mix of links and non-links.

We considered putting <command> in the <refentrytitle> on the target
side, but that creates some formatting side effects elsewhere.
Generally, it seems safer to solve this on the link source side.

We can't put the <xref> inside the <command>; the DTD doesn't allow
this.  DocBook 5 would allow the <command> to have the linkend
attribute itself, but we are not there yet.

So to solve this for now, convert the <xref>s to <link> plus
<command>.  This gives the correct look and also gives some more
flexibility what we can put into the link text (e.g., subcommands or
other clauses).  In the future, these could then be converted to
DocBook 5 style.

I haven't converted absolutely all xrefs to SQL command reference
pages, only those where we care about the appearance of the link text
or where it was otherwise appropriate to make the appearance match a
bit better.  Also in some cases, the links where repetitive, so in
those cases the links where just removed and replaced by a plain
<command>.  In cases where we just want the link and don't
specifically care about the generated link text (typically phrased
"for further information see <xref ...>") the xref is kept.

Fujii Masao 8d9a935965 Add pg_stat_wal statistics view.
This view shows the statistics about WAL activity. Currently it has only
two columns: wal_buffers_full and stats_reset. wal_buffers_full column
indicates the number of times WAL data was written to the disk because
WAL buffers got full. This information is useful when tuning wal_buffers.
stats_reset column indicates the time at which these statistics were
last reset.

pg_stat_wal view is also the basic infrastructure to expose other
various statistics about WAL activity later.

Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID due to the change in pgstat format.

Bump catalog version.

Michael Paquier 9d0bd95fa9 Add block information in error context of WAL REDO apply loop
Providing this information can be useful for example when diagnosing
problems related to recovery conflicts or for recovery issues without
having to go through the output generated by pg_waldump to get some
information about the blocks a WAL record works on.

The block information is printed in the same format as pg_waldump.  This
already existed in xlog.c for debugging purposes with -DWAL_DEBUG, so
adding the block information in the callback has required just a small
refactoring.

Tom Lane 4964253048 Put back explicit setting of replication values within TAP tests.
Commit 151c0c5f7 neglected the possibility that a TEMP_CONFIG file
would explicitly set max_wal_senders=0; as indeed buildfarm member
thorntail does, so that it can test wal_level=minimal in other test
suites.  Hence, rather than assuming that max_wal_senders=10 will
prevail if we say nothing, set it explicitly.

Set max_replication_slots=10 explicitly too, just to be safe.

Back-patch to v10, like the previous patch.
