Since 11, it is possible to use a non-superuser role when using an
online source cluster with pg_rewind as long as the role has proper
permissions to execute on the source all the functions used by
pg_rewind, and the documentation stated that a superuser is necessary.
Let's add at the same time all the details needed to create such a
role.
A second confusion which comes a lot from users is that it is necessary
to issue a checkpoint on a freshly-promoted standby so as its control
file has up-to-date timeline information which is used by pg_rewind to
validate the operation. Let's document that properly. This is
back-patched down to 9.5 where pg_rewind has been introduced.

When $(MODULES) and $(MODULE_big) are empty, derive the database name

When deriving the database name from $(MODULES), use its first element

postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in
postmaster.pid, exiting if that segment matches the current data
directory and has an attached process. When the postmaster.pid file was
missing, a starting postmaster used weaker checks. Change to use the
same checks in both scenarios. This increases the chance of a startup
failure, in lieu of data corruption, if the DBA does "kill -9 `head -n1
postmaster.pid` && rm postmaster.pid && pg_ctl -w start". A postmaster
will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data directories.
That's good for production, but it's bad for integration tests that
crash a postmaster and immediately delete its data directory. Such a
test now leaks a segment indefinitely. No "make check-world" test does
that. win32_shmem.c already avoided all these problems. In 9.6 and

While trying to plan a partitionwise join, we may be faced with cases
where one or both input partitions for a particular segment of the join
have been pruned away. In HEAD and v11, this is problematic because
earlier processing didn't bother to make a pruned RelOptInfo fully
valid. With an upcoming patch to make partition pruning more efficient,
this'll be even more problematic because said RelOptInfo won't exist at
all.
The existing code attempts to deal with this by retroactively making the
RelOptInfo fully valid, but that causes crashes under GEQO because join
planning is done in a short-lived memory context. In v11 we could
probably have fixed this by switching to the planner's main context
while fixing up the RelOptInfo, but that idea doesn't scale well to the
upcoming patch. It would be better not to mess with the base-relation
data structures during join planning, anyway --- that's just a recipe
for order-of-operations bugs.
In many cases, though, we don't actually need the child RelOptInfo,
because if the input is certainly empty then the join segment's result
is certainly empty, so we can skip making a join plan altogether. (The
existing code ultimately arrives at the same conclusion, but only after
doing a lot more work.) This approach works except when the pruned-away
partition is on the nullable side of a LEFT, ANTI, or FULL join, and the
other side isn't pruned. But in those cases the existing code leaves a
lot to be desired anyway --- the correct output is just the result of
the unpruned side of the join, but we were emitting a useless outer join
against a dummy Result. Pending somebody writing code to handle that
more nicely, let's just abandon the partitionwise-join optimization in
such cases.
When the modified code skips making a join plan, it doesn't make a
join RelOptInfo either; this requires some upper-level code to
cope with nulls in part_rels[] arrays. We would have had to have
that anyway after the upcoming patch.
Back-patch to v11 since the crash is demonstrable there.

Relations dropped in a single transaction are tracked in a list of
unowned relations. With large number of dropped relations this resulted
in poor performance at the end of a transaction, when the relations are
removed from the singly linked list one by one.
Commit b4166911 attempted to address this issue (particularly when it
happens during recovery) by removing the relations in a reverse order,
resulting in O(1) lookups in the list of unowned relations. This did
not work reliably, though, and it was possible to trigger the O(N^2)
behavior in various ways.
Instead of trying to remove the relations in a specific order with
respect to the linked list, which seems rather fragile, switch to a
regular doubly linked. That allows us to remove relations cheaply no
matter where in the list they are.

Since its introduction in 19dc233c, current_logfiles has been assigned
the same permissions as a log file, which can be enforced with
log_file_mode. This setup can lead to incompatibility problems with
group access permissions as current_logfiles is not located in the log
directory, but at the root of the data folder. Hence, if group
permissions are used but log_file_mode is more restrictive, a backup
with a user in the group having read access could fail even if the log
directory is located outside of the data folder.
Per discussion with the folks mentioned below, we have concluded that
current_logfiles should not be treated as a log file as it only stores
metadata related to log files, and that it should use the same
permissions as all other files in the data directory. This solution has
the merit to be simple and fixes all the interaction problems between
group access and log_file_mode.

Previously we were using the SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow

switch to the 2006 definition.
Since libxml doesn't accept <!DOCTYPE> directives in the mode we
use for CONTENT parsing, the implementation is to detect <!DOCTYPE>
in the input and switch to DOCUMENT parsing mode. This should not
cost much, because <!DOCTYPE> should be close to the front of the
input if it's there at all. It's possible that this causes the
error messages for malformed input to be slightly different than
they were before, if said input includes <!DOCTYPE>; but that does
not seem like a big problem.
In passing, buy back a few cycles in parsing of large XML documents
by not doing strlen() of the whole input in parse_xml_decl().

Commit 6f6a6d8b1 introduced a delay of up to 2 seconds if we're trying
to request a checkpoint but the checkpointer hasn't started yet (or,
much less likely, our kill() call fails). However buildfarm experience
shows that that's not quite enough for slow or heavily-loaded machines.
There's no good reason to assume that the checkpointer won't start
eventually, so we may as well make the timeout much longer, say 60 sec.
However, if the caller didn't say CHECKPOINT_WAIT, it seems like a bad
idea to be waiting at all, much less for as long as 60 sec. We can
remove the need for that, and make this whole thing more robust, by
adjusting the code so that the existence of a pending checkpoint
request is clear from the contents of shared memory, and making sure
that the checkpointer process will notice it at startup even if it did
not get a signal. In this way there's no need for a non-CHECKPOINT_WAIT
call to wait at all; if it can't send the signal, it can nonetheless
assume that the checkpointer will eventually service the request.
A potential downside of this change is that "kill -INT" on the checkpointer
process is no longer enough to trigger a checkpoint, should anyone be
relying on something so hacky. But there's no obvious reason to do it
like that rather than issuing a plain old CHECKPOINT command, so we'll
assume that nobody is. There doesn't seem to be a way to preserve this
undocumented quasi-feature without introducing race conditions.
Since a principal reason for messing with this is to prevent intermittent
buildfarm failures, back-patch to all supported branches.

This fixes an issue introduced by 266b6ac, which has added filters to
exclude file patterns on the target and source data directories to
reduce the number of files transferred. Filters get applied to both
the target and source data files, and include pg_internal.init which is
present for each database once relations are created on it. However, if
the target differed from the source with at least one new database with
relations, the rewind would fail due to the exclusion filters applied on
the target files, causing pg_internal.init to still be present on the
target database folder, while its contents should have been completely
removed so as there is nothing remaining inside at the time of the
folder deletion.
Applying exclusion filters on the source files is fine, because this way
the amount of data copied from the source to the target is reduced. And
actually, not applying the filters on the target is what pg_rewind
should do, because this causes such files to be automatically removed
during the rewind on the target. Exclusion filters apply to paths which
are removed or recreated automatically at startup, so removing all those
files on the target during the rewind is a win.
The existing set of TAP tests already stresses the rewind of databases,
but it did not include any tables on those newly-created databases.
Creating extra tables in this case is enough to reproduce the failure,
so the existing tests are extended to close the gap.

When we introduced separate ProjectSetPath nodes for application of
set-returning functions in v10, we inadvertently broke some cases where
we're supposed to recognize that the result of a subquery is known to be
empty (contain zero rows). That's because IS_DUMMY_REL was just looking
for a childless AppendPath without allowing for a ProjectSetPath being
possibly stuck on top. In itself, this didn't do anything much worse
than produce slightly worse plans for some corner cases.
Then in v11, commit 11cf92f6e rearranged things to allow the scan/join
targetlist to be applied directly to partial paths before they get
gathered. But it inserted a short-circuit path for dummy relations
that was a little too short: it failed to insert a ProjectSetPath node
at all for a targetlist containing set-returning functions, resulting in
bogus "set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set"
errors, as reported in bug #15669 from Madelaine Thibaut.
The best way to fix this mess seems to be to reimplement IS_DUMMY_REL
so that it drills down through any ProjectSetPath nodes that might be
there (and it seems like we'd better allow for ProjectionPath as well).
While we're at it, make it look at rel->pathlist not cheapest_total_path,
so that it gives the right answer independently of whether set_cheapest
has been done lately. That dependency looks pretty shaky in the context
of code like apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths, and even if it's not broken
today it'd certainly bite us at some point. (Nastily, unsafe use of the
old coding would almost always work; the hazard comes down to possibly
looking through a dangling pointer, and only once in a blue moon would
you find something there that resulted in the wrong answer.)
It now looks like it was a mistake for IS_DUMMY_REL to be a macro: if
there are any extensions using it, they'll continue to use the old
inadequate logic until they're recompiled, after which they'll fail
to load into server versions predating this fix. Hopefully there are
few such extensions.
Having fixed IS_DUMMY_REL, the special path for dummy rels in
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths is unnecessary as well as being wrong,
so we can just drop it.
Also change a few places that were testing for partitioned-ness of a
planner relation but not using IS_PARTITIONED_REL for the purpose; that
seems unsafe as well as inconsistent, plus it required an ugly hack in
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths.
In passing, save a few cycles in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths by
skipping processing of pre-existing paths for partitioned rels,
and do some cosmetic cleanup and comment adjustment in that function.
I renamed IS_DUMMY_PATH to IS_DUMMY_APPEND with the intention of breaking
any code that might be using it, since in almost every case that would
be wrong; IS_DUMMY_REL is what to be using instead.
In HEAD, also make set_dummy_rel_pathlist static (since it's no longer
used from outside allpaths.c), and delete is_dummy_plan, since it's no
longer used anywhere.

The implementation of readdir() in src/port/ which gets used by MSVC has
been added in 399a36a, and since the beginning it considers all errors
on the first file lookup as ENOENT, setting errno accordingly and
letting the routine caller think that the directory is empty. While
this is normally enough for the case of the backend, this can confuse
callers of this routine on Windows as all errors would map to the same
behavior. So, for example, even permission errors would be thought as
having an empty directory, while there could be contents in it.
This commit changes the error handling so as readdir() gets a behavior
similar to native implementations: force errno=0 when seeing
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND as error and consider other errors as plain
failures.
While looking at the patch, I noticed that MinGW does not enforce
errno=0 when looking at the first file, but it gets enforced on the next
file lookups. A comment related to that was incorrect in the code.

Previously, rewriteTargetListIU() generated a list of attribute
numbers from the targetlist, which were passed to rewriteValuesRTE(),
which expected them to contain the same number of entries as there are
columns in the VALUES RTE, and to be in the same order. That was fine
when the target relation was a table, but for an updatable view it
could be broken in at least three different ways ---
rewriteTargetListIU() could insert additional targetlist entries for
view columns with defaults, the view columns could be in a different
order from the columns of the underlying base relation, and targetlist
entries could be merged together when assigning to elements of an
array or composite type. As a result, when recursing to the base
relation, the list of attribute numbers generated from the rewritten
targetlist could no longer be relied upon to match the columns of the
VALUES RTE. We got away with that prior to 41531e42d3 because it used
to always be the case that rewriteValuesRTE() did nothing for the
underlying base relation, since all DEFAULTS had already been replaced
when it was initially invoked for the view, but that was incorrect
because it failed to apply defaults from the base relation.
Fix this by examining the targetlist entries more carefully and
picking out just those that are simple Vars referencing the VALUES
RTE. That's sufficient for the purposes of rewriteValuesRTE(), which
is only responsible for dealing with DEFAULT items in the VALUES
RTE. Any DEFAULT item in the VALUES RTE that doesn't have a matching
simple-Var-assignment in the targetlist is an error which we complain
about, but in theory that ought to be impossible.
Additionally, move this code into rewriteValuesRTE() to give a clearer
separation of concerns between the 2 functions. There is no need for
rewriteTargetListIU() to know about the details of the VALUES RTE.

When using a libpq client linked with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or older to connect
to a backend linked with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer, the server would send
SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS and SCRAM-SHA-256 as valid mechanisms for the SASL
exchange, and the client would choose SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS even if it does
not support channel binding, leading to a confusing error. In this
case, what the client ought to do is switch to SCRAM-SHA-256 so as the
authentication can move on and succeed.
So for a SCRAM authentication over SSL, here are all the cases present
and how we deal with them using libpq:
1) Server supports channel binding, it sends SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS and
SCRAM-SHA-256 as allowed mechanisms.
1-1) Client supports channel binding, chooses SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS.
1-2) Client does not support channel binding, chooses SCRAM-SHA-256.
2) Server does not support channel binding, sends SCRAM-SHA-256 as
allowed mechanism.
2-1) Client supports channel binding, still it has no choice but to
choose SCRAM-SHA-256.
2-2) Client does not support channel binding, it chooses SCRAM-SHA-256.
In all these scenarios the connection should succeed, and the one which
was handled incorrectly prior this commit is 1-2), causing the
connection attempt to fail because client chose SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS over
SCRAM-SHA-256.

Backpatch-through: 11
Commit 16be2fd1 introduced the flag DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM to control whether
the DSA allocator would raise an error or return InvalidDsaPointer on
failure to allocate. One edge case was not handled correctly: if we
fail to allocate an internal "span" object for a large allocation, we
would always return InvalidDsaPointer regardless of the flag; a caller
not expecting that could then dereference a null pointer.
This is a plausible explanation for a one-off report of a segfault.
Remove a redundant pair of braces so that all three stanzas that handle
DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM match in style, for visual consistency.
While fixing inconsistencies, if FreePageManagerGet() can't supply the
pages that our book-keeping says it should be able to supply, then we
should always report a FATAL error. Previously we treated that as a
regular allocation failure in one code path, but as a FATAL condition
in another.
Back-patch to 10, where dsa.c landed.

The Bison documentation clearly states that a semicolon is required
after every grammar rule, and our scripts that generate ecpg's
grammar from the backend's implicitly assumed this is true. But it
turns out that only ancient versions of Bison actually enforce that.
There have been a couple of rules without trailing semicolons in
gram.y for some time, and as a consequence, ecpg's grammar was faulty
and produced wrong output for the affected statements.
To fix, add the missing semis, and add some cross-checks to ecpg's
scripts so that they'll bleat if we mess this up again.
The cases that were broken were:
* "SET variable = DEFAULT" (but not "SET variable TO DEFAULT"),
as well as allied syntaxes such as ALTER SYSTEM SET ... DEFAULT.
These produced syntactically invalid output that the server
would reject.
* Multiple type names in DROP TYPE/DOMAIN commands. Only the
first type name would be listed in the emitted command.
Per report from Daisuke Higuchi. Back-patch to all supported versions.

Previously, we tolerated EBADF as a way for the operating system to
indicate that it doesn't support fsync() on a directory. Tolerate
EINVAL too, for older versions of Linux CIFS.
Bug #15636. Back-patch all the way.

One unintended consequence of commit 9ccdd7f6 was that Windows WSL
users started getting a panic whenever we tried to initiate data
flushing with sync_file_range(), because WSL does not implement that
system call. Previously, they got a stream of periodic warnings,
which was also undesirable but at least ignorable.
Prevent the panic by handling ENOSYS specially and skipping the panic
promotion with data_sync_elevel(). Also suppress future attempts
after the first such failure so that the pre-existing problem of
noisy warnings is improved.
Back-patch to 9.6 (older branches were not affected in this way by
9ccdd7f6).
