ce6afc6 has begun the refactoring work by plugging pg_rewind into a
central routine to update the control file, and left around two extra
copies, with one in xlog.c for the backend and one in pg_resetwal.c. By
adding an extra option to the central routine in controldata_utils.c to
control if a flush of the control file needs to be done, it is proving
to be straight-forward to make xlog.c and pg_resetwal.c use the central
code path at the condition of moving the wait event tracking there.
Hence, this allows to have only one central code path to update the
control file, shaving the code from the duplicates.
This refactoring actually fixes a problem in pg_resetwal. Previously,
the control file was first removed before being recreated. So if a
crash happened between the moment the file was removed and the moment
the file was created, then it would have been possible to not have a
control file anymore in the database folder.

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.

pg_checksums is compiled with a given block size and has a hard
dependency to it per the way checksums are calculated via
checksum_impl.h, and trying to use the tool on a data folder which has
not the same block size would result in incorrect checksum calculations
and/or block read errors, meaning that the data folder is corrupted.
This is harmless as checksums are only checked now, but very confusing
for the user so issue an error properly if the block size used at

SQL 2016 standards among other things contains set of SQL/JSON features for
JSON processing inside of relational database. The core of SQL/JSON is JSON
path language, allowing access parts of JSON documents and make computations

separate datatype called "jsonpath". The implementation is partial because
it's lacking datetime support and suppression of numeric errors. Missing
features will be added later by separate commits.
Support of SQL/JSON features requires implementation of separate nodes, and it
will be considered in subsequent patches. This commit includes following
set of plain functions, allowing to execute jsonpath over jsonb values:
* jsonb_path_exists(jsonb, jsonpath[, jsonb, bool]),

When libpq is loaded in the server (for instance, by
libpqwalreceiver), it may use libpq environment variables set in the
postmaster environment for connection parameter defaults. This has
some confusing effects in our test suites. For example, the TAP test
infrastructure sets PGAPPNAME to allow identifying clients in the
server log. But this environment variable is also inherited by
temporary servers started with pg_ctl and is then in turn used by
libpqwalreceiver as the application_name for connecting to remote
servers where it then shows up in pg_stat_replication and is relevant
for things like synchronous_standby_names. Replication already has a
suitable default for application_name, and overriding that
accidentally then requires the individual test cases to re-override
that, which is all very confusing and unnecessary.
To fix, unset PGAPPNAME temporarily before running pg_ctl start or
restart in the tests.
More comprehensive approaches like unsetting all environment variables
in pg_ctl were considered but might be too complicated to achieve
portably.
The now unnecessary re-overriding of application_name by test cases is
also removed.

Some buildfarm members using CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS have been having OOM
problems of late. Commit 2455ab488 addressed this problem by recovering
space transiently used within RelationBuildPartitionDesc, but it turns
out that leaves quite a lot on the table, because other subroutines of
RelationBuildDesc also leak memory like mad. Let's move the temp-context
management into RelationBuildDesc so that leakage from the other
subroutines is also recovered.
I examined this issue by arranging for postgres.c to dump the size of
MessageContext just before resetting it in each command cycle, and
then running the update.sql regression test (which is one of the two
that are seeing buildfarm OOMs) with and without CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
Before 2455ab488, the peak space usage with CCA was as much as 250MB.
That patch got it down to ~80MB, but with this patch it's about 0.5MB,
and indeed the space usage now seems nearly indistinguishable from a
non-CCA build.
RelationBuildDesc's traditional behavior of not worrying about leaking
transient data is of many years' standing, so I'm pretty hesitant to
change that without more evidence that it'd be useful in a normal build.
(So far as I can see, non-CCA memory consumption is about the same with
or without this change, whuch if anything suggests that it isn't useful.)
Hence, configure the patch so that we recover space only when
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS or CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined. However,
that choice can be overridden at compile time, in case somebody would
like to do some performance testing and try to develop evidence for
changing that decision.
It's possible that we ought to back-patch this change, but in the
absence of back-branch OOM problems in the buildfarm, I'm not in
a hurry to do that.

Previously, the SERIALIZABLE isolation level prevented parallel query
from being used. Allow the two features to be used together by
sharing the leader's SERIALIZABLEXACT with parallel workers.
An extra per-SERIALIZABLEXACT LWLock is introduced to make it safe to
share, and new logic is introduced to coordinate the early release
of the SERIALIZABLEXACT required for the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE
optimization, as follows:
The first backend to observe the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag (set by
some other transaction) will 'partially release' the SERIALIZABLEXACT,
meaning that the conflicts and locks it holds are released, but the
SERIALIZABLEXACT itself will remain active because other backends
might still have a pointer to it.
Whenever any backend notices the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag, it clears
its own MySerializableXact variable and frees local resources so that
it can skip SSI checks for the rest of the transaction. In the
special case of the leader process, it transfers the SERIALIZABLEXACT
to a new variable SavedSerializableXact, so that it can be completely
released at the end of the transaction after all workers have exited.
Remove the serializable_okay flag added to CreateParallelContext() by
commit 9da0cc35, because it's now redundant.

The previous test order had the effect that if something was wrong
with the identity functionality, the create_table_like test would
likely fail or crash first, which is confusing. Reorder so that the
identity test comes before create_table_like.
The idea was to generate all the junk in a destroyable subcontext rather
than leaking it in the caller's context, but partition_bounds_create was
still being called in the caller's context, allowing plenty of scope for
leakage. Also, get_rel_relkind() was still being called in the rel's
rd_pdcxt, creating a risk of session-lifespan memory wastage.
Simplify the logic a bit while at it. Also, reduce rd_pdcxt to
ALLOCSET_SMALL_SIZES, since it seems likely to not usually be big.
Probably something like this needs to be back-patched into v11,
but for now let's get some buildfarm testing on this.

In normal builds, this isn't very important, because the leaks go
into fairly short-lived contexts, but under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS,
this can result in leaking hundreds of megabytes into MessageContext,
which probably explains recent failures on hyrax.
This may or may not be the best long-term strategy for dealing
with this leak, but we can change it later if we come up with
something better. For now, do this to make the buildfarm green

Preliminary results from the buildfarm suggest that no platform gets
commit c6f153dcf's test cases wrong by more than one or two units in
the last place, so setting extra_float_digits = 0 should be plenty
to hide the cross-platform variations.
Also, add tests for Infinity/NaN inputs. I think it highly likely
that we'll end up removing these again, rather than adding code to
make ancient platforms conform. But it seems useful to find out
just how many platforms have such issues before we make a decision.

The initial commit tried to test them on trivial cases such as 0,
reasoning that we shouldn't hit any portability issues that way.
The buildfarm immediately proved that hope ill-founded, and anyway
it's not a great testing scheme because it doesn't prove that we're
even calling the right library function for each SQL function.
Instead, let's test them at inputs such as 1 (or something within
the valid range, as needed), so that each function should produce
a different output.
As committed, this is just about certain to show portability
failures, because it's very unlikely that every platform computes
these functions the same as mine down to the last bit. However,
I want to put it through a buildfarm cycle this way, so that
we can see how big the variations are. The plan is to add
"set extra_float_digits = -1", or whatever we need in order to
hide the variations; but first we need data.

pages are unlocked before the new downlink actually gets inserted.
The claim that it is okay to release both locks early based on Lehman

"couple" buffer locks across a pair of internal pages when relocating a
downlink, unlike the corresponding code within _bt_getstack().
The SQL:2016 standard adds support for the hyperbolic functions

to the SQL level. As with the trig functions, we only implement
versions for float8, not numeric.
For the moment, we'll assume that all platforms actually do have

effort may be needed.
SQL:2016 also adds support for base-10 logarithm, but with the

However, the new project policy that OIDs assigned by new patches
