This patch allows pg_restore to wrap its commands into transaction
blocks, somewhat like --single-transaction, except that we commit
and start a new block after every N objects. Using this mode
with a size limit of 1000 or so objects greatly reduces the number
of transactions consumed by the restore, while preventing any
one transaction from taking enough locks to overrun the receiving
server's shared lock table.
(A value of 1000 works well with the default lock table size of
around 6400 locks. Higher --transaction-size values can be used
if one has increased the receiving server's lock table size.)
Excessive consumption of XIDs has been reported as a problem for
pg_upgrade in particular, but it could be bad for any restore; and the
change also reduces the number of fsyncs and amount of WAL generated,
so it should provide speed benefits too.
This patch does not try to make parallel workers batch the SQL
commands they issue. The trouble with doing that is that other
workers may need to see the objects a worker creates right away.
Possibly this can be improved later.
In this patch I have hard-wired pg_upgrade to use a transaction size
of 1000 divided by the number of parallel restore jobs allowed
(without that, we'd still be at risk of overrunning the shared lock
table). Perhaps there would be value in adding another pg_upgrade
option to allow user control of that, but I'm unsure that it's worth
the trouble; I think few users would use it, and any who did would see
not that much benefit compared to the default.
Patch by me, but the original idea to batch SQL commands during
restore is due to Robins Tharakan.

Coverity identified this as a resource leak. It's surely of no
consequence given that the function is called only once per run, but
freeing the storage is no more work than dismissing the complaint.
Minor oversight in commit 347758b12.
Till now, the reason for replication slot invalidation is not tracked
directly in pg_replication_slots. A recent commit 007693f2a3 added
'conflict_reason' to show the reasons for slot conflict/invalidation, but
only for logical slots.
This commit adds a new column 'invalidation_reason' to show invalidation
reasons for both physical and logical slots. And, this commit also turns
'conflict_reason' text column to 'conflicting' boolean column (effectively
reverting commit 007693f2a3). The 'conflicting' column is true for
invalidation reasons 'rows_removed' and 'wal_level_insufficient' because
those make the slot conflict with recovery. When 'conflicting' is true,
one can now look at the new 'invalidation_reason' column for the reason
for the logical slot's conflict with recovery.
The new 'invalidation_reason' column will also be useful to track other
invalidation reasons in the future commit.

The builtin C.UTF-8 locale has similar semantics to the libc locale of
the same name. That is, code point sort order (fast, memcmp-based)
combined with Unicode semantics for character operations such as
pattern matching, regular expressions, and
LOWER()/INITCAP()/UPPER(). The character semantics are based on
Unicode simple case mappings.
The builtin provider's C.UTF-8 offers several important advantages
over libc:
* faster sorting -- benefits from additional optimizations such as
abbreviated keys and varstrfastcmp_c
* faster case conversion, e.g. LOWER(), at least compared with some
libc implementations
* available on all platforms with identical semantics, and the
semantics are stable, testable, and documentable within a given
Postgres major version
Being based on memcmp, the builtin C.UTF-8 locale does not offer
natural language sort order. But it is an improvement for most use
cases that might otherwise use libc's "C.UTF-8" locale, as well as
many use cases that use libc's "C" locale.

New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

Commit 5b2f4afffe refactored find_other_exec() and in the process
created pipe_read_line() into a static routine for reading a single
line of output, aimed at reading version numbers. Commit a7e8ece41
later exposed it externally in order to read a postgresql.conf GUC
using "postgres -C ..". Further, f06b1c598 also made use of it for
reading a version string much like find_other_exec(). The internal
variable remained "pgver", even when used for other purposes.
Since the function requires passing a buffer and its size, and at
most size - 1 bytes will be read via fgets(), there is a truncation
risk when using this for reading GUCs (like how pg_rewind does,
though the risk in this case is marginal).
To keep this as generic functionality for reading a line from a pipe,
this refactors pipe_read_line() into returning an allocated buffer
containing all of the line to remove the risk of silent truncation.

This feature will allow us to replicate the changes on subscriber nodes
after the upgrade.
Previously, only the subscription metadata information was preserved.
Without the list of relations and their state, it's not possible to
re-enable the subscriptions without missing some records as the list of
relations can only be refreshed after enabling the subscription (and
therefore starting the apply worker). Even if we added a way to refresh
the subscription while enabling a publication, we still wouldn't know
which relations are new on the publication side, and therefore should be
fully synced, and which shouldn't.
To preserve the subscription relations, this patch teaches pg_dump to
restore the content of pg_subscription_rel from the old cluster by using
binary_upgrade_add_sub_rel_state SQL function. This is supported only
in binary upgrade mode.
The subscription's replication origin is needed to ensure that we don't
replicate anything twice.
To preserve the replication origins, this patch teaches pg_dump to update
the replication origin along with creating a subscription by using
binary_upgrade_replorigin_advance SQL function to restore the
underlying replication origin remote LSN. This is supported only in
binary upgrade mode.
pg_upgrade will check that all the subscription relations are in 'i'
(init) or in 'r' (ready) state and will error out if that's not the case,
logging the reason for the failure. This helps to avoid the risk of any
dangling slot or origin after the upgrade.

This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):

The logical replication launcher may start apply workers during an

these are able to apply changes before the physical files are copied
over to the new cluster.
The chance of being able to do so is small as pg_upgrade uses its own
port and unix domain directory (the latter is customizable with
--socketdir), but just preventing the launcher to start is safer at the
end, because we are then sure that no changes will be applied. Like

Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an

the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to
this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last
value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place,
some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could
nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing
commas everywhere once.
I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will
always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg,
in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were
also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere

While reading information from the old cluster, a list of logical
slots is fetched. At the later part of upgrading, pg_upgrade revisits the
list and restores slots by executing pg_create_logical_replication_slot()
on the new cluster. Migration of logical replication slots is only
supported when the old cluster is version 17.0 or later.
If the old node has invalid slots or slots with unconsumed WAL records,
the pg_upgrade fails. These checks are needed to prevent data loss.
The significant advantage of this commit is that it makes it easy to
continue logical replication even after upgrading the publisher node.
Previously, pg_upgrade allowed copying publications to a new node. With
this patch, adjusting the connection string to the new publisher will
cause the apply worker on the subscriber to connect to the new publisher
automatically. This enables seamless continuation of logical replication,
even after an upgrade.

The new_cluster parameter in check_for_new_tablespace_dir was
shadowing the globally defined new_cluster variable, causing
compiler warnings when running with -Wshadow. The function is
only applicable to the new cluster, so remove the parameter
rather than rename to match check_new_cluster_is_empty which
also only applies to the new cluster.
