This commit adds a function to perform a cross-check between the initial
value of the C declaration associated to a GUC and its actual boot
value in assert-enabled builds. The purpose of this is to prevent
anybody reading these C declarations from being fooled by mismatched
values before they are loaded at program startup.
The following rules apply depending on the GUC type:
* bool - can be false, or same as boot_val.
* int - can be 0, or same as the boot_val.
* real - can be 0.0, or same as the boot_val.
* string - can be NULL, or strcmp'd equal to the boot_val.
* enum - equal to the boot_val.
This is done for the system as well custom GUCs loaded by external
modules, which may require extension developers to adapt the C
declaration of the variables used by these GUCs (testing this change
with some of my own modules has allowed me to catch some stupid typos,
FWIW). This may finish by being a bad experiment depending on the
feedbcak received, but let's see how it goes.

This is similar to 7d25958, and this commit takes care of all the
remaining inconsistencies between the initial value used in the C
variable associated to a GUC and its default value stored in the GUC
tables (as of pg_settings.boot_val).
Some of the initial values of the GUCs updated rely on a compile-time
default. These are refactored so as the GUC table and its C declaration
use the same values. This makes everything consistent with other
places, backend_flush_after, bgwriter_flush_after, port,
checkpoint_flush_after doing so already, for example.

When all of the query's DISTINCT pathkeys have been marked as redundant
due to EquivalenceClasses existing which contain constants, we can just
implement the DISTINCT operation on a query by just limiting the number of
returned rows to 1 instead of performing a Unique on all of the matching
(duplicate) rows.
This applies in cases such as:
SELECT DISTINCT col,col2 FROM tab WHERE col = 1 AND col2 = 10;
If there are any matching rows, then they must all be {1,10}. There's no
point in fetching all of those and running a Unique operator on them to
leave only a single row. Here we effectively just find the first row and
then stop. We are obviously unable to apply this optimization if either
the col = 1 or col2 = 10 were missing from the WHERE clause or if there
were any additional columns in the SELECT clause.
Such queries are probably not all that common, but detecting when we can
apply this optimization amounts to checking if the distinct_pathkeys are
NULL, which is very cheap indeed.
Nothing is done here to check if the query already has a LIMIT clause. If
it does then the plan may end up with 2 Limits nodes. There's no harm in
that and it's probably not worth the complexity to unify them into a
single Limit node.

Here we add a new 'copy' parameter to tuplesort_getdatum so that we can
instruct the function not to datumCopy() byref Datums before returning.
Similar to 91e9e89dc, this can provide significant performance
improvements in nodeSort when sorting by a single byref column and the
sort's targetlist contains only that column.
This allows us to re-enable Datum sorts for byref types which was disabled
in 3a5817695 due to a reported memory leak.
Additionally, here we slightly optimize DISTINCT aggregates so that we no
longer perform any datumCopy() when we find the current value not to be
distinct from the previous value. Previously the code would always take a
copy of the most recent Datum and pfree the previous value, even when the
values were the same. Testing shows a small but noticeable performance
increase when aggregate transitions are skipped due to the current
transition value being the same as the prior one.

When we decide we need to make a derived clause equating a.x and
b.y, we already will re-use a previously-made clause "a.x = b.y".
But we might instead have "b.y = a.x", which is perfectly usable
because equivclass.c has never promised anything about the
operand order in clauses it builds. Saving construction of a
new RestrictInfo doesn't matter all that much in itself --- but
because we cache selectivity estimates and so on per-RestrictInfo,
there's a possibility of saving a fair amount of duplicative
effort downstream.
Hence, check for commutative matches as well as direct ones when
seeing if we have a pre-existing clause. This changes the visible
clause order in several regression test cases, but they're all
clearly-insignificant changes.
Checking for the reverse operand order is simple enough, but
if we wanted to check for operator OID match we'd need to call
get_commutator here, which is not so cheap. I concluded that
we don't really need the operator check anyway, so I just
removed it. It's unlikely that an opfamily contains more than
one applicable operator for a given pair of operand datatypes;
and if it does they had better give the same answers, so there
seems little need to insist that we use exactly the one
select_equality_operator chose.
Using the current core regression suite as a test case, I see
this change reducing the number of new join clauses built by
create_join_clause from 9673 to 5142 (out of 26652 calls).
So not quite 50% savings, but pretty close to it.

These numbers are strictly-monotone identifiers assigned to each rule
of pg_hba_file_rules and each map of pg_ident_file_mappings when loading
the HBA and ident configuration files, indicating the order in which
they are checked at authentication time, until a match is found.
With only one file loaded currently, this is equivalent to the line
numbers assigned to the entries loaded if one wants to know their order,
but this becomes mandatory once the inclusion of external files is
added to the HBA and ident files to be able to know in which order the

This has the advantage to limit the presence of the GUC values
hba_file and ident_file to the code paths where these files are loaded,
easing the introduction of an upcoming feature aimed at adding inclusion
logic for files and directories in HBA and ident files.
Note that this needs the addition of the source file name to HbaLine, in
addition to the line number, which is something needed by the backend in
two places of auth.c (authentication failure details and auth_id log
when log_connections is enabled).
While on it, adjust a log generated on authentication failure to report
the name of the actual HBA file on which the connection attempt matched,
where the line number and the raw line written in the HBA file were
already included. This was previously hardcoded as pg_hba.conf, which
would be incorrect when a custom value is used at postmaster startup for
the GUC hba_file.

The IsCTIDVar() tests in nodeTidscan.c and nodeTidrangescan.c
look buggy at first sight: they aren't checking that the varno
matches the table to be scanned. Actually they're safe because
any Var in a scan-level qual must be for the correct table ...
but if we're depending on that, it's pretty pointless to verify
varlevelsup. (Besides which, varlevelsup is *always* zero at
execution, since we've flattened the rangetable long since.)
Remove the useless varlevelsup check, and instead add some
commentary explaining why we don't need to check varno.

As of this commit, any database or user entry beginning with a slash (/)
is considered as a regular expression. This is particularly useful for
users, as now there is no clean way to match pattern on multiple HBA
lines. For example, a user name mapping with a regular expression needs
first to match with a HBA line, and we would skip the follow-up HBA
entries if the ident regexp does *not* match with what has matched in
the HBA line.
pg_hba.conf is able to handle multiple databases and roles with a
comma-separated list of these, hence individual regular expressions that
include commas need to be double-quoted.
At authentication time, user and database names are now checked in the
following order:
- Arbitrary keywords (like "all", the ones beginning by '+' for
membership check), that we know will never have a regexp. A fancy case
is for physical WAL senders, we *have* to only match "replication" for
the database.
- Regular expression matching.
- Exact match.
The previous logic did the same, but without the regexp step.
We have discussed as well the possibility to support regexp pattern
matching for host names, but these happen to lead to tricky issues based
on what I understand, particularly with host entries that have CIDRs.
This commit relies heavily on the refactoring done in a903971 and
fc579e1, so as the amount of code required to compile and execute
regular expressions is now minimal. When parsing pg_hba.conf, all the
computed regexps needs to explicitely free()'d, same as pg_ident.conf.
Documentation and TAP tests are added to cover this feature, including
cases where the regexps use commas (for clarity in the docs, coverage
for the parsing logic in the tests).
Note that this introduces a breakage with older versions, where a
database or user name beginning with a slash are treated as something to
check for an equal match. Per discussion, we have discarded this as
being much of an issue in practice as it would require a cluster to
have database and/or role names that begin with a slash, as well as HBA
entries using these. Hence, the consistency gained with regexps in
pg_ident.conf is more appealing in the long term.
**This compatibility change should be mentioned in the release notes.**

Since pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() exist, the tablespace map
data and the backup state data (backup_label string until 7d70809) have
been allocated in the TopMemoryContext. This approach would cause
memory leaks in the session calling these functions if failures happen
before pg_backup_stop() ends, leaking more memory on repeated failures.
Both things need little memory so that would not be really noticeable
for most users, except perhaps connection poolers with long-lived
connections able to trigger backup failures with these functions.
This commit improves the logic in this area by not allocating anymore
the backup-related data that needs to travel across the SQL-callable
backup functions in TopMemoryContext, by using instead a dedicated
memory context child of TopMemoryContext. The memory context is created
in pg_backup_start() and deleted when finishing pg_backup_stop(). In
the event of an in-flight failure, this memory context gets reset in the
follow-up pg_backup_start() call, so as we are sure that only one run
worth of data is leaked at any time. Some cleanup was already done for
the backup data on a follow-up call of pg_backup_start(), but using a
memory context makes the whole simpler.
BASE_BACKUP commands are executed in isolation, relying on the memory
context created for replication commands, hence these do not need such
an extra logic.

It happens that the parts of hba.conf that are planned to be extended

This makes the choice of result scale of numeric power() for integer
exponents consistent with the choice for non-integer exponents, and
with the result scale of other numeric functions. Specifically, the
result scale will be at least as large as the scale of either input,
and sufficient to ensure that the result has at least 16 significant
digits.
Formerly, the result scale was based only on the scale of the first
input, without taking into account the weight of the result. For
results with negative weight, that could lead to results with very few
or even no non-zero significant digits (e.g., 10.0 ^ (-18) produced
0.0000000000000000).
Fix this by moving responsibility for the choice of result scale into
power_var_int(), which already has code to estimate the result weight.

When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no
association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are
created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the
assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder().
This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we
start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically
start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't
guarantee to make the association between top transaction and
subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction.
The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have
been checked before the restart.
The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track
that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog
changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions
is marked as containing catalog change.

pg_backup_start_callback if we adapt do_pg_abort_backup so that it can

callback is being called at start time (in which case the session backup
state is known not to have been set to RUNNING yet, so action is always
taken) or shmem time (in which case action is only taken if the session
backup state is RUNNING). Thus the meaning of the flag is no longer

uses an AuthToken rather than tracking separately the ident user string
used for the regex compilation and its generated regex_t. In the case
of pg_ident.conf, a set of AuthTokens is built in the pre-parsing phase
of the file, and an extra regular expression is compiled when building
the list of IdentLines, after checking the sanity of the fields in a

The logic in charge of computing and executing regular expressions is

Preprocessing of the HAVING clause will reduce havingQual to NIL
if the clause is constant-TRUE. This is one case where that
convention is rather unfortunate, because "HAVING TRUE" is not at all
the same as not having any HAVING clause at all. (Per the SQL spec,
it still forces the query to be grouped.) The planner deals with this
by having a boolean hasHavingQual that records whether havingQual was
originally nonempty; places that just want to check whether HAVING
was specified are supposed to consult that.
I found three places that got that wrong. Fortunately, these could
only affect cost estimates not correctness. It'd be hard even
to demonstrate the errors; for example, the one in allpaths.c would
only matter in a query that has HAVING TRUE but no GROUP BY and no
aggregates, which would require a completely variable-free SELECT
list, making the case probably of only academic interest. Hence,
while these are worth fixing before someone copies the incorrect
coding somewhere more critical, they don't seem worth back-patching.

When creating a cast that uses a conversion function, we've
historically allowed the input and result types to be
binary-compatible with the function's input and result types,
rather than necessarily being identical. This means that the new
cast is logically dependent on the binary-compatible cast or casts
that it references: if those are defined by pg_cast entries, and you
try to restore the new cast without having defined them, it'll fail.
Hence, we should make pg_depend entries to record these dependencies
so that pg_dump knows that there is an ordering requirement.
This is not the only place where we allow such shortcuts; aggregate
functions for example are similarly lax, and in principle should gain
similar dependencies. However, for now it seems sufficient to fix
the cast-versus-cast case, as pg_dump's other ordering heuristics
should keep it out of trouble for other object types.

It can be useful to know when a relation has last been used, e.g., when
evaluating whether an index is still required. It was already possible to
infer the time of the last usage by tracking, e.g.,
pg_stat_all_indexes.idx_scan over time. But far from everybody does so.
To make it easier to detect the last time a relation has been scanned, track
that time in each relation's pgstat entry. To minimize overhead a) the
timestamp is updated only when the backend pending stats entry is flushed to
shared stats b) the last transaction's stop timestamp is used as the
timestamp.

The previous patch made addition of new GUCs cheap, but other GUC
operations aren't improved and indeed get a bit slower, because
hash_seq_search() is slower than just scanning a pointer array.
However, most performance-critical GUC operations only need
to touch a relatively small fraction of the GUCs; especially
so for AtEOXact_GUC(). We can improve matters at the cost
of a bit more space by adding dlist or slist links to the
GUC data structures. This patch invents lists that track
(1) all GUCs with non-default "source";
(2) all GUCs with nonempty state stack (implying they've
been changed in the current transaction);
(3) all GUCs due for reporting to the client.
All of guc.c's performance-critical cases can make use of one or
another of these lists to avoid searching the whole hash table.
In particular, the stack list means that transaction end
doesn't take time proportional to the number of GUCs, but
only to the number changed in the current transaction.

This gets rid of bsearch() in favor of hashed lookup. The main
advantage is that it becomes far cheaper to add new GUCs, since
we needn't re-sort the pointer array. Adding N new GUCs had
been O(N^2 log N), but now it's closer to O(N). We need to
sort only in SHOW ALL and equivalent functions, which are
hopefully not performance-critical to anybody.
Also, merge GetNumConfigOptions() into get_guc_variables(),
because in a world where the set of GUCs isn't fairly static
you really want to consider those two results as tied together
not independent.

The only real argument for using malloc directly was that we needed
the ability to not throw error on OOM; but mcxt.c grew that feature
awhile ago.
Keeping the data in a memory context improves accountability and
debuggability --- for example, without this it's almost impossible
to detect memory leaks in the GUC code with anything less costly
than valgrind. Moreover, the next patch in this series will add a
hash table for GUC lookup, and it'd be pretty silly to be using
palloc-dependent hash facilities alongside malloc'd storage of the
underlying data.
This is a bit invasive though, in particular causing an API break
for GUC check hooks that want to modify the GUC's value or use an
"extra" data structure. They must now use guc_malloc() and
guc_free() instead of malloc() and free(). Failure to change
affected code will result in assertion failures or worse; but
thanks to recent effort in the mcxt infrastructure, it shouldn't
be too hard to diagnose such oversights (at least in assert-enabled
builds).
One note is that this changes ParseLongOption() to return short-lived
palloc'd not malloc'd data. There wasn't any caller for which the
previous definition was better.

Most code prints PIDs as %d, but some code tried to print them as long

fit into int is deeply baked into all PostgreSQL code, so these random
deviations don't accomplish anything except confusion.
Note that we still need casts from pid_t to int, because on 64-bit
MinGW, pid_t is long long int. (But per above, actually supporting
that range in PostgreSQL code would be major surgery and probably not
useful.)

Commit 3d956d956 allowed the COPY, but it's done by inserting individual
rows to the foreign table, so it can be inefficient due to the overhead
caused by each round-trip to the foreign server. To improve performance
of the COPY in such a case, this patch allows batch insertion, by
extending the multi-insert machinery in CopyFrom() to the foreign-table
case so that we insert multiple rows to the foreign table at once using
the FDW callback routine added by commit b663a4136. This patch also
allows this for postgres_fdw. It is enabled by the "batch_size" option
added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default.
When doing batch insertion, we update progress of the COPY command after
performing the FDW callback routine, to count rows not suppressed by the
FDW as well as a BEFORE ROW INSERT trigger. For consistency, this patch
changes the timing of updating it for plain tables: previously, we
updated it immediately after adding each row to the multi-insert buffer,
but we do so only after writing the rows stored in the buffer out to the
table using table_multi_insert(), which I think would be consistent even
with non-batching mode, because in that mode we update it after writing
each row out to the table using table_tuple_insert().

Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README,
ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does
its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path.
First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always
called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was
wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail
page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items
into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and
START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these
issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages
logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.

The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends
fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates
the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will
take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery.
In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded
AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail
or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became
corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such
crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent
changes around palloc chunk headers.
To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster
so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child
slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed
routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the
shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now
lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X
failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things.
But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset
regardless.

DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view
could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause.
This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed
for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes.
The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE()
to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced
by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries,
that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the
DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are,
their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list,
so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable.
What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL
constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults
as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced
any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests
to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to
split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE()
to the charter it had before.

Before commit c6e0fe1f2, functions such as AllocSetFree could pretty
safely presume that they were given a valid chunk pointer for their
own type of context, because the indirect call through a memory
context object and method struct would be very unlikely to work
otherwise. But now, if pfree() is mistakenly invoked on a pointer
to garbage, we have three chances in eight of ending up at one of
these functions. That means we need to take extra measures to
verify that we are looking at what we're supposed to be looking at,
especially in debug builds.
Hence, add code to verify that the chunk's back-link to a block header
leads to a memory context object that satisfies the right sort of
IsA() check. This is still a bit weaker than what we did before,
but for the moment assume that an IsA() check is sufficient.
As a compromise between speed and safety, implement these checks
as Asserts when dealing with small chunks but plain test-and-elogs
when dealing with large (external) chunks. The latter case should
not be too performance-critical, but the former case probably is.
In slab.c, all chunks are small; but nonetheless use a plain test
in SlabRealloc, because that is certainly not performance-critical,
indeed we should be suspicious that it's being called in error.
In aset.c, additionally add some assertions that the "value" field
of the chunk header is within the small range allowed for freelist
indexes. Without that, we might find ourselves trying to wipe
most of memory when CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY is enabled, or scribbling
on a "freelist header" that's far away from the context object.
Eventually, field experience might show us that it's smarter for
these tests to be active always, but for now we'll try to get
away with just having them as assertions.
While at it, also be more uniform about asserting that context
objects passed as parameters are of the type we expect. Some
places missed that altogether, and slab.c was for no very good
reason doing it differently from the other allocators.

Previously PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry contained the slotname, which was mainly
used when writing out the stats during shutdown, to identify the slot in the
serialized data (at runtime the index in ReplicationSlotCtl->replication_slots
is used, but that can change during a restart). Unfortunately the slotname was
overwritten when the slot's stats were reset.
That turned out to only cause "real" problems if the slot was active during
the reset, triggering an assertion failure at the next
pgstat_report_replslot(). In other paths the stats were re-initialized during
pgstat_acquire_replslot().
Fix this by removing slotname from PgStat_StatReplSlotEntry. Instead we can
get the slot's name from the slot itself. Besides fixing a bug, this also is
architecturally cleaner (a name is not really statistics). This is safe
because stats, for a slot removed while shut down, will not be restored at
startup.
In 15 the slotname is not removed, but renamed, to avoid changing the stats
format. In master, bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.
This commit does not contain a test for the fix. I think this can only be
tested by a tap test starting pg_recvlogical in the background and checking
pg_recvlogical's output. That type of test is notoriously hard to be reliable,
so committing it shortly before the release is wrapped seems like a bad idea.

Backpatch: 15-, where the bug was introduced in 5891c7a8ed
There are a number of bugs in this area. Two of them are fixed here,
namely:
1. get_relation_idx_constraint_oid does not restrict the type of
constraint that's returned, so with sufficient bad luck it can
return the OID of a foreign key constraint. This has the effect that
a primary key in a partition can end up as a child of a foreign key,
which makes no sense (it needs to be the child of the equivalent
primary key.)
Change the API contract so that only index-backed constraints are
returned, mimicking get_constraint_index().
2. Both CloneFkReferenced and CloneFkReferencing clone a
self-referencing foreign key, so the partition ends up with
a duplicate foreign key. Change the former function to ignore such
constraints.
Add some tests to verify that things are better now. (However, these
new tests show some additional misbehavior that will be fixed later --
namely that there's a constraint marked NOT VALID.)

Commit c6e0fe1f2 was a shade too trusting that any pointer passed
to pfree, repalloc, etc will point at a valid chunk. Notably,
passing a pointer that was actually obtained from malloc tended
to result in obscure assertion failures, if not worse. (On FreeBSD
I've seen such mistakes take down the entire cluster, seemingly as
a result of clobbering shared memory.)
To improve matters, extend the mcxt_methods[] array so that it
has entries for every possible MemoryContextMethodID bit-pattern,
with the currently unassigned ID codes pointing to error-reporting
functions. Then, fiddle with the ID assignments so that patterns
likely to be associated with bad pointers aren't valid ID codes.
In particular, we should avoid assigning bit patterns 000 (zeroed
memory) and 111 (wipe_mem'd memory).
It turns out that on glibc (Linux), malloc uses chunk headers that
have flag bits in the same place we keep MemoryContextMethodID,
and that the bit patterns 000, 001, 010 are the only ones we'll
see as long as the backend isn't threaded. So we can have very
robust detection of pfree'ing a malloc-assigned block on that
platform, at least so long as we can refrain from using up those
ID codes. On other platforms, we don't have such a good guarantee,
but keeping 000 reserved will be enough to catch many such cases.
While here, make GetMemoryChunkMethodID() local to mcxt.c, as there
seems no need for it to be exposed even in memutils_internal.h.

The wins on windows are similar-ish (but I don't have a system at hand just
now for actual numbers). Targetting other operating systems the wins are far
smaller (tested linux, macOS, FreeBSD).
For now precompiled headers are disabled by default, it's not clear how well
they work on all platforms. E.g. on FreeBSD gcc doesn't seem to have working
support, but clang does.
When doing a full build precompiled headers are only beneficial for targets
with multiple .c files, as meson builds a separate precompiled header for each
target (so that different compilation options take effect). This commit
therefore only changes target with at least two .c files to use precompiled
headers.
Because this commit adds b_pch=false to the default_options new build
directories will have precompiled headers disabled by default, however
existing build directories will continue use the default value of b_pch, which
is true.
Note that using precompiled headers with ccache requires setting

MemoryContextContains is no longer reliable in the wake of c6e0fe1f2,
so we need to get rid of these uses.
It appears that there's no really good reason to force the result of
an aggregate's finalfn or serialfn to be allocated in the per-tuple
context. The only other plausible case is that the result points to
or into the aggregate's transition value, and that's fine because it
will last as long as we need it to. (This conclusion depends on the
assumption that finalfns are not allowed to scribble on the transition
value, but we've long required that.) So we can just drop the
MemoryContextContains plus datumCopy business, although we do need
to take care to not return a read-write pointer when the transition
value is an expanded datum.
Likewise, we don't really need to force the result of a window
function to be in the output context. In this case, the plausible
alternative is that it's pointing into the temporary tuple slot used
by WinGetFuncArgInPartition or WinGetFuncArgInFrame (since those
functions could return such a pointer, which might become the window
function's result). That will hold still for long enough, unless
there is another window function using the same WindowObject.
I'm content to always perform a datumCopy when there's more than one
such function.
On net, these changes should provide small speed improvements as well
as removing problematic code.

The RecoveryLockLists data structure, which tracks all exclusive
locks that the startup process is holding on behalf of transactions
being replayed, did not have any provision for avoiding duplicate
entries for the same lock. Maybe that was okay when the code was
first written. However, modern practice is for checkpoints to
write fresh lists of all active exclusive locks into the WAL.
Thus, an exclusive lock that survives across multiple checkpoints
causes bloat in standbys' startup processes. If there are a lot
of such locks this can look like a memory leak, and it's even
possible to drive the startup process into a palloc failure from
an over-length List.
To fix, use a hash table instead of simple lists to track the
locks being held. Allowing for dynahash overhead, this requires
a little more space per lock than the old way (although it's the
same size as what we were allocating prior to c6e0fe1f2). It's
probably a shade slower too. However, testing indicates that the
penalty is negligible on ordinary workloads, so let's make this

Otherwise we don't use LLVM's flags when building llvmjit_wrap.cpp and
llvmjit_inline.cpp. That can cause compile time failures if the C++ compiler
doesn't default to a new enough C++ standards version and link time failures
due to ABI influencing flags like -fno-rtti.
This reverts commit db0d67db24 and
several follow-on fixes. The idea of making a cost-based choice
of the order of the sorting columns is not fundamentally unsound,
but it requires cost information and data statistics that we don't
really have. For example, relying on procost to distinguish the
relative costs of different sort comparators is pretty pointless
so long as most such comparator functions are labeled with cost 1.0.
Moreover, estimating the number of comparisons done by Quicksort
requires more than just an estimate of the number of distinct values
in the input: you also need some idea of the sizes of the larger
groups, if you want an estimate that's good to better than a factor of
three or so. That's data that's often unknown or not very reliable.
Worse, to arrive at estimates of the number of calls made to the
lower-order-column comparison functions, the code needs to make
estimates of the numbers of distinct values of multiple columns,
which are necessarily even less trustworthy than per-column stats.
Even if all the inputs are perfectly reliable, the cost algorithm
as-implemented cannot offer useful information about how to order
sorting columns beyond the point at which the average group size
is estimated to drop to 1.
Close inspection of the code added by db0d67db2 shows that there
are also multiple small bugs. These could have been fixed, but
there's not much point if we don't trust the estimates to be
accurate in-principle.
Finally, the changes in cost_sort's behavior made for very large
changes (often a factor of 2 or so) in the cost estimates for all
sorting operations, not only those for multi-column GROUP BY.
That naturally changes plan choices in many situations, and there's
precious little evidence to show that the changes are for the better.
Given the above doubts about whether the new estimates are really
trustworthy, it's hard to summon much confidence that these changes
are better on the average.
Since we're hard up against the release deadline for v15, let's
revert these changes for now. We can always try again later.
Note: in v15, I left T_PathKeyInfo in place in nodes.h even though
it's unreferenced. Removing it would be an ABI break, and it seems
a bit late in the release cycle for that.

Commit 34f581c39 intended to ensure that RelationGetBufferForTuple

all-visible bit had become set since we last had lock on that page.
But I missed a case: when we're extending the relation, VM concerns
were dealt with only in the relatively-less-likely case that we
fail to conditionally lock the otherBuffer. I think I'd believed
that we couldn't need to worry about it if the conditional lock
succeeds, which is true for the target buffer; but the otherBuffer
was unlocked for awhile so its bit might be set anyway. So we need
to do the GetVisibilityMapPins dance, and then also recheck the

Up to now, the ID values returned by pg_stat_get_backend_idset() and
used by pg_stat_get_backend_activity() and allied functions were just
indexes into a local array of sessions seen by the last stats refresh.
This is problematic for a few reasons. The "ID" of a session can vary
over its existence, which is surprising. Also, while these numbers
often match the "backend ID" used for purposes like temp schema
assignment, that isn't reliably true. We can fairly cheaply switch
things around to make these numbers actually be the sessions' backend
IDs. The added test case illustrates that with this definition, the
temp schema used by a given session can be obtained given its PID.
While here, delete some dead code that guarded against getting
a NULL return from pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(). That can't
happen as long as the caller is careful to pass an in-range array
index, as all the callers are. (This code may not have been dead

RelFileNumbers are now assigned using a separate counter, instead of
being assigned from the OID counter. This counter never wraps around:
if all 2^56 possible RelFileNumbers are used, an internal error
occurs. As the cluster is limited to 2^64 total bytes of WAL, this
limitation should not cause a problem in practice.
If the counter were 64 bits wide rather than 56 bits wide, we would
need to increase the width of the BufferTag, which might adversely
impact buffer lookup performance. Also, this lets us use bigint for
pg_class.relfilenode and other places where these values are exposed
at the SQL level without worrying about overflow.
This should remove the need to keep "tombstone" files around until
the next checkpoint when relations are removed. We do that to keep
RelFileNumbers from being recycled, but now that won't happen

Previously, the transaction-property GUCs such as transaction_isolation
could be reset after starting a transaction, because we marked them
as GUC_NO_RESET_ALL but still allowed a targeted RESET. That leads to
assertion failures or worse, because those properties aren't supposed
to change after we've acquired a transaction snapshot.
There are some NO_RESET_ALL variables for which RESET is okay, so
we can't just redefine the semantics of that flag. Instead introduce
a separate GUC_NO_RESET flag. Mark "seed", as well as the transaction
property GUCs, as GUC_NO_RESET.
We have to disallow GUC_ACTION_SAVE as well as straight RESET, because
otherwise a function having a "SET transaction_isolation" clause can
still break things: the end-of-function restore action is equivalent
to a RESET.
No back-patch, as it's conceivable that someone is doing something
this patch will forbid (like resetting one of these GUCs at transaction
start, or "CREATE FUNCTION ... SET transaction_read_only = 1") and not
running into problems with it today. Given how long we've had this

This change simplifies some of the logic related to the generation and
creation of the backup_label and backup history files, which has become
unnecessarily complicated since the removal of the exclusive backup mode
in commit 39969e2. The code was previously generating the contents of
these files as a string (start phase for the backup_label and stop phase
for the backup history file), one problem being that the contents of the
backup_label string were scanned to grab some of its internal contents
at the stop phase.
This commit changes the logic so as we store the data required to build
these files in an intermediate structure named BackupState. The
backup_label file and backup history file strings are generated when
they are ready to be sent back to the client. Both files are now
generated with the same code path. While on it, this commit renames
some variables for clarity.
Two new files named xlogbackup.{c,h} are introduced in this commit, to
remove from xlog.c some of the logic around base backups. Note that
more could be moved to this new set of files.

Commit 25936fd46 adjusted things so that the "storeslot" we use
for remapping trigger tuples would have adequate lifespan, but it
neglected to consider the lifespan of the tuple descriptor that
the slot depends on. It turns out that in at least some cases, the
tupdesc we are passing is a refcounted tupdesc, and the refcount for
the slot's reference can get assigned to a resource owner having
different lifespan than the slot does. That leads to an error like
"tupdesc reference 0x7fdef236a1b8 is not owned by resource owner
SubTransaction". Worse, because of a second oversight in the same
commit, we'd try to free the same tupdesc refcount again while
cleaning up after that error, leading to recursive errors and an
"ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded" PANIC.
To fix the initial problem, let's just make a non-refcounted copy
of the tupdesc we're supposed to use. That seems likely to guard
against additional problems, since there's no strong reason for
this code to assume that what it's given is a refcounted tupdesc;
in which case there's an independent hazard of the tupdesc having
shorter lifespan than the slot does. (I didn't bother trying to
free said copy, since it should go away anyway when the (sub)
transaction context is cleaned up.)
The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to
AfterTriggerFreeQuery work like the rest of that function, ie be
sure that it doesn't try to free the same slot twice in the event
of recursive error cleanup.
While here, also clean up minor stylistic issues in the test case
added by 25936fd46: don't use "create or replace function", as any
name collision within the tests is likely to have ill effects
that that won't mask; and don't use function names as generic as
trigger_function1, especially if you're not going to drop them

The main parser checks whether a literal fits into an int when
deciding whether it should be put into an Integer or Float node. The
parser processes integer literals without signs. So a most-negative
integer literal will not fit into Integer and will end up as a Float
node.
The node tokenizer did this differently. It included the sign when
checking whether the literal fit into int. So a most-negative integer
would indeed fit that way and end up as an Integer node.
In order to preserve the node structure correctly, we need the node
tokenizer to also analyze integer literals without sign.

To allow this, we need to forbid having any schema on a publication if

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

If the ps display is not cleared at this point, the process could
continue displaying "recovering NNN" even if handling end-of-recovery
steps. df9274a has tackled that by providing some information with the
end-of-recovery checkpoint but 7ff23c6 has nullified the effect of the
first commit.
Per a suggestion from Justin, just clear the ps display when we are done
with recovery, so as no incorrect information is displayed. This may
get extended in the future, but for now restore the pre-7ff23c6
behavior.

This commit updates two code paths to use pg_lfind32() introduced by
b6ef167 with TransactionId arrays:
- At the end of TransactionIdIsInProgress(), when checking for the case
of still running but overflowed subxids.
- XidIsConcurrent(), when checking for a serializable conflict.
These cases are less impactful than 37a6e5d, but a bit of
micro-benchmarking of this API shows that linear search speeds up by
~20% depending on the number of items involved (x86_64 and amd64 looked
at here).

We check that the ICU locale is only specified if the ICU locale
provider is selected. But we did that too early. We need to wait
until we load the settings of the template database, since that could
also set what the locale provider is.

For publication schemas (OBJECT_PUBLICATION_NAMESPACE) and user
mappings (OBJECT_USER_MAPPING), pg_get_object_address() checked the
array length of the second argument, but not of the first argument.
If the first argument was too long, it would just silently ignore
everything but the first argument. Fix that by checking the length of
the first argument as well.

Previously the following snprintf() wrappers:
* ReplicationSlotNameForTablesync()
* ReplicationOriginNameForTablesync()
... used int as a second argument of snprintf() while the actual type of it
is size_t. Although it doesn't fail at present better replace it with Size
for consistency with the rest of the system.

expression_tree_walker and allied functions have traditionally
declared their callback functions as, say, "bool (*walker) ()"
to allow for variation in the declared types of the callback
functions' context argument. This is apparently going to be
forbidden by the next version of the C standard, and the latest
version of clang warns about that. In any case it's always
been pretty poor for error-detection purposes, so fixing it is
a good thing to do.
What we want to do is change the callback argument declarations to
be like "bool (*walker) (Node *node, void *context)", which is
correct so far as expression_tree_walker and friends are concerned,
but not change the actual callback functions. Strict compliance with
the C standard would require changing them to declare their arguments
as "void *context" and then cast to the appropriate context struct
type internally. That'd be very invasive and it would also introduce
a bunch of opportunities for future bugs, since we'd no longer have
any check that the correct sort of context object is passed by outside
callers or internal recursion cases. Therefore, we're just going
to ignore the standard's position that "void *" isn't necessarily
compatible with struct pointers. No machine built in the last forty
or so years actually behaves that way, so it's not worth introducing
bug hazards for compatibility with long-dead hardware.
Therefore, to silence these compiler warnings, introduce a layer of
macro wrappers that cast the supplied function name to the official
argument type. Thanks to our use of -Wcast-function-type, this will
still produce a warning if the supplied function is seriously
incompatible with the required signature, without going as far as
the official spec restriction does.
This method fixes the problem without any need for source code changes
outside nodeFuncs.h/.c. However, it is an ABI break because the
physically called functions now have names ending in "_impl". Hence
we can only fix it this way in HEAD. In the back branches, we'll have
to settle for disabling -Wdeprecated-non-prototype.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in optimizer, parser,
utility, libpq, and "commands" code, as well as in remaining library
code. Do the same for all code related to frontend programs (with the
exception of pg_dump/pg_dumpall related code).
Like other recent commits that cleaned up function parameter names, this
commit was written with help from clang-tidy. Later commits will handle
ecpg and pg_dump/pg_dumpall.

clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only
use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;").
That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that
we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual
methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by
actually removing a useless variable.
One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser,
Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this
warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the
top-level productions of affected grammars.
Per recently-established project policy, this is a candidate
for back-patching into out-of-support branches: it suppresses
annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence,
back-patch to 9.5, which is as far as these patches go without
issues. (A preliminary check shows that the prior branches
need some other set-but-not-used cleanups too, so I'll leave
them for another day.)

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions. Having parameter names
that are reliably consistent in this way will make it easier to reason
about groups of related C functions from the same translation unit as a
module. It will also make certain refactoring tasks easier.

The header comment for get_cheapest_group_keys_order() claimed that the
output arguments were set to a newly allocated list which may be freed by
the calling function, however, this was not always true as the function
would simply leave these arguments untouched in some cases.
This tripped me up when working on 1349d2790 as I mistakenly assumed I
could perform a list_concat with the output parameters. That turned out
bad due to list_concat modifying the original input lists.
In passing, make it more clear that the number of distinct values is
important to reduce tiebreaks during sorts. Also, explain what the
n_preordered parameter means.
Backpatch-through: 15, where get_cheapest_group_keys_order was introduced.
If role A is a direct or indirect member of role B but does not inherit
B's privileges (because at least one relevant grant was created WITH
INHERIT FALSE) then A should not be permitted to bypass privilege
checks that require the privileges of B. For example, A can't change
the privileges of objects owned by B, nor can A drop those objects.
However, up until now, it's been possible for A to change default
privileges for role B. That doesn't seem to be correct, because a
non-inherited role grant is only supposed to permit you to assume
the identity of the granted role via SET ROLE, and should not
otherwise permit you to exercise the privileges of that role. Most
places followed that rule, but this case was an exception.
This could be construed as a security vulnerability, but it does not
seem entirely clear cut, since older branches were fuzzy about the
distinction between is_member_of_role() and has_privs_of_role() in
a number of other ways as well. Because of this, and because
user-visible behavior changes in minor releases are to be avoided
whenever possible, no back-patch.

The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured
they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code
to do it honestly with a separate walker function.
In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's
useless return value. I left that as-is in back branches though,
to forestall complaints about ABI breakage.
Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical
importance before our stable branches are all out of service.
It doesn't seem to be fixing any live bug on any currently known
platform, however.
