As written, pg_dump would call twice parse_compress_specification() for
the custom and directory formats to build a compression specification if
no compression option is defined, as these formats should be compressed
by default when compiled with zlib, or use no compression without zlib.
This made the code logic quite confusing, and the first compression
specification built would be incorrect before being overwritten by the
second one.
Rather than creating two compression specifications, this commit changes
a bit the order of the checks for the compression options so as
compression_algorithm_str is now set to a correct value for the custom
and format directory when no compression option is defined. This makes
the code easier to understand, as parse_compress_specification() is now
called once for all the format, with or without user-specified
compression methods. One comment was also confusing for the non-zlib
case, so remove it while on it.
This code has been introduced in 5e73a60 when adding support for
compression specifications in pg_dump.
Per discussion with Justin Pryzby and Georgios Kokolatos.

vacuum_defer_cleanup_age was introduced before hot_standby_feedback and
replication slots existed. It is hard to use reasonably - commonly it will
either be set too low (not preventing recovery conflicts, while still causing
some bloat), or too high (causing a lot of bloat). The alternatives do not
have that issue.
That on its own might not be sufficient reason to remove
vacuum_defer_cleanup_age, but it also complicates computation of xid
horizons. See e.g. the bug fixed in be504a3e97. It also is untested.
This commit removes TransactionIdRetreatSafely(), as there are no users

Commit c6f2f01611 purported to make
this work, but problems remained. In a plain-format backup, the
files from an in-place tablespace got included in the tar file for
the main tablespace, which is wrong but it's not clear that it
has any user-visible consequences. In a tar-format backup, the
TABLESPACE_MAP option is used, and so we never iterated over
pg_tblspc and thus never backed up the in-place tablespaces
anywhere at all.
To fix this, reverse the changes in that commit, so that when we scan
pg_tblspc during a backup, we create tablespaceinfo objects even for
in-place tablespaces. We set the field that would normally contain the
absolute pathname to the relative path pg_tblspc/${TSOID}, and that's
good enough to make basebackup.c happy without any further changes.
However, pg_basebackup needs a couple of adjustments to make it work.
First, it needs to understand that a relative path for a tablespace
means it's an in-place tablespace. Second, it needs to tolerate the
situation where restoring the main tablespace tries to create
pg_tblspc or a subdirectory and finds that it already exists, because
we restore user-defined tablespaces before the main tablespace.
Since in-place tablespaces are only intended for use in development
and testing, no back-patch.

In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a
later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well
aligned. The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically
sectors and/or memory pages). The address alignment size is set to
4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern
sectors and common memory page size. There is no standard governing
O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this
with more information from the field or future systems.
Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular
buffered I/O performance.
Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted:
(1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or
MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175.
(2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler. (3) The buffer
pool is also aligned in shared memory.
WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ. It's possible for
XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus
for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a
pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit.
BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT
for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even
in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment).
If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions
we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to
0. This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but
can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory
be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such
machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support
instead. That's an existing and tested class of system.
Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and
smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack
alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too
small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with
contype='n'.
We propagate these constraints during operations such as adding
inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions, creating
tables LIKE other tables. We mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations; for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match NOT NULL ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it;
instead we match by column number. This means we don't require the
constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them from system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
This has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by
Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'),
which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was
killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring additional pg_attribute columns to
track the OID of the NOT NULL constraint for that column.

The zstd library (which this patch relies on) supports multithreaded

This also fixes a minor issue in InitDiscoverCompressFileHandle(), which

Convert to BCP47 language tags before storing in the catalog, except
during binary upgrade or when the locale comes from an existing
collation or template database.
The resulting language tags can vary slightly between ICU
versions. For instance, "@colBackwards=yes" is converted to
"und-u-kb-true" in older versions of ICU, and to the simpler (but
equivalent) "und-u-kb" in newer versions.
The process of canonicalizing to a language tag also understands more
input locale string formats than ucol_open(). For instance,
"fr_CA.UTF-8" is misinterpreted by ucol_open() and the region is
ignored; effectively treating it the same as the locale "fr" and
opening the wrong collator. Canonicalization properly interprets the
language and region, resulting in the language tag "fr-CA", which can
then be understood by ucol_open().
This commit fixes a problem in prior versions due to ucol_open()
misinterpreting locale strings as described above. For instance,
creating an ICU collation with locale "fr_CA.UTF-8" would store that
string directly in the catalog, which would later be passed to (and
misinterpreted by) ucol_open(). After this commit, the locale string
will be canonicalized to language tag "fr-CA" in the catalog, which
will be properly understood by ucol_open(). Because this fix affects
the resulting collator, we cannot change the locale string stored in
the catalog for existing databases or collations; otherwise we'd risk
corrupting indexes. Therefore, only canonicalize locales for
newly-created (not upgraded) collations/databases. For similar
reasons, do not backport.

On the downside, it allows any table owner to easily usurp

After 0da243fed0 got committed, it was reported that in some cases the

This commit switches to LZ4F (LZ4 frame format), eliminating most of the
overhead and greatly improving the compression ratio. This makes the
compressed size about the same for plain and custom formats (just like
for gzip, for example).
LZ4F is now used by both compression APIs, which allowed refactoring and
reusing more of the code. For consistency this also renames the LZ4File

Most forms of ALTER SUBSCRIPTION, including ALTER SUBSCRIPTION .. SKIP,

use ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... RENAME or ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... OWNER TO,
you also need CREATE permission on the database. This is similar to

Non-superusers are required to specify a password for authentication
and the remote side must use the password, similar to what is required
for postgres_fdw and dblink. A superuser who wants a non-superuser to
own a subscription that does not rely on password authentication may
set the new password_required=false property on that subscription. A
non-superuser may not set password_required=false and may not modify a
subscription that already has password_required=false.
This new password_required subscription property works much like the

are that a password is not required if either (1) the property is set

The pg_dump Compressor API has three basic callbacks - Allocate, Write
and End. The gzip implementation (since e9960732a) wrongly assumed the
Write function would always be called, and deferred the initialization
of the internal compression system until the first such call. But when
there's no data to compress (e.g. for empty LO), this would result in
not finalizing the compression state (because it was not actually
initialized), producing invalid dump.
Fixed by initializing the internal compression system in the Allocate
call, whenever the caller provides the Write. For decompression the
state is not needed, so we leave the private_data member unpopulated.
Introduces a pg_dump TAP test compressing an empty large object.
This also rearranges the functions to their original order, to make
diffs against older code simpler to understand. Finally, replace an
unreachable pg_fatal() with a simple assert check.

The "und" locale is an alternative spelling of the root locale, but it
was not recognized until ICU 55. To maintain common behavior across
all supported ICU versions, check for "und" and replace with "root"
before opening.
Previously, the lack of support for "und" was dangerous, because
versions 54 and older fall back to the environment when a locale is
not found. If the user specified "und" for the language (which is
expected and documented), it could not only resolve to the wrong
collator, but it could unexpectedly change (which could lead to
corrupt indexes).
This effectively reverts commit d72900bded, which worked around the

Prior to the introduction of the compression API in e9960732a9, pg_dump
would use the ZLIB_IN_SIZE/ZLIB_OUT_SIZE to size input/output buffers.
Commit 0da243fed0 introduced similar constants for LZ4, but while gzip
defined both buffers to be 4kB, LZ4 used 4kB and 16kB without any clear
reasoning why that's desirable.
Furthermore, parts of the code unaware of which compression is used
(e.g. pg_backup_directory.c) continued to use ZLIB_OUT_SIZE directly.
Simplify by replacing the various constants with DEFAULT_IO_BUFFER_SIZE,
set to 4kB. The compression implementations still have an option to use
a custom value, but considering 4kB was fine for 20+ years, I find that
unlikely (and we'd probably just increase the default buffer size).

After 0da243fed0 got committed, we've received a report about a compiler
warning, related to the new LZ4File_gets() function:
compress_lz4.c: In function 'LZ4File_gets':
compress_lz4.c:492:19: warning: comparison of unsigned expression in
'< 0' is always false [-Wtype-limits]
492 | if (dsize < 0)
The reason is very simple - dsize is declared as size_t, which is an
unsigned integer, and thus the check is pointless and we might fail to
notice an error in some cases (or fail in a strange way a bit later).
The warning could have been silenced by simply changing the type, but we
realized the API mostly assumes all the libraries use the same types and
report errors the same way (e.g. by returning 0 and/or negative value).
But we can't make this assumption - the gzip/lz4 libraries already
disagree on some of this, and even if they did a library added in the
future might not.
The right solution is to define what the API does, and translate the
library-specific behavior in consistent way (so that the internal errors
are not exposed to users of our compression API). So this adjusts the
data types in a couple places, so that we don't miss library errors, and
simplifies and unifies the error reporting to simply return true/false
(instead of e.g. size_t).
While at it, make sure LZ4File_open_write() does not clobber errno in
case open_func() fails.

Use of pack("L") gets around the basic endian problem, but it doesn't
deal with the fact that the order of the bitfields within the struct
may differ. This patch fixes it to work with gcc on NetBSD/macppc,
but I wonder whether that will be enough --- in principle, there
could be four different combinations of bitpatterns needed here.

In commit 3e51b278d, I misinterpreted the coding in setup_config()
as setting min_wal_size and max_wal_size to compile-time-constant
values. But it's not: there's a hidden dependency on --wal-segsize.
Therefore leaving these variables commented out is the wrong thing.
Per report from Andres Freund.
