9069eb95f4 Block replication slot advance for these not yet reserving WAL
Such replication slots are physical slots freshly created without WAL
being reserved, which is the default behavior, which have not been used
yet as WAL consumption resources to retain WAL.  This prevents advancing
a slot to a position older than any WAL available, which could falsify
calculations for WAL segment recycling.

This also cleans up a bit the code, as ReplicationSlotRelease() would be
called on ERROR, and improves error messages.

e7df94f317 Better handle pseudotypes as partition keys
We fail to handle polymorphic types properly when they are used as
partition keys: we were unnecessarily adding a RelabelType node on top,
which confuses code examining the nodes.  In particular, this makes
predtest.c-based partition pruning not to work, and ruleutils.c to emit
expressions that are uglier than needed.  Fix it by not adding RelabelType
when not needed.

In master/11 the new pruning code is separate so it doesn't suffer from
this problem, since we already fixed it (in essentially the same way) in
e5dcbb88a1, which also added a few tests; back-patch those tests to
pg10 also.  But since UPDATE/DELETE still uses predtest.c in pg11, this
change improves partitioning for those cases too.  Add tests for this.
The ruleutils.c behavior change is relevant in pg11/master too.

cfcfbd39b1 Avoid emitting a bogus WAL record when recycling an all-zero btree page.
Commit fafa374f2 caused _bt_getbuf() to possibly emit a WAL record for
a page that it was about to recycle.  However, it failed to distinguish
all-zero pages from dead pages, which is important because only the
latter have valid btpo.xact values, or indeed any special space at all.
Recycling an all-zero page with XLogStandbyInfoActive() enabled therefore
led to an Assert failure, or to emission of a WAL record containing a
bogus cutoff XID, which might lead to unnecessary query cancellations
on hot standby servers.

Per reports from Antonin Houska and 自己.  Amit Kapila was first to
propose this fix, and Robert Haas, myself, and Kyotaro Horiguchi
reviewed it at various times.

This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.

95cce84c16 Fix yet more problems with incorrectly-constructed zero-length arrays.
Commit 716ea626a attempted to fix the problem of building 1-D zero-size
arrays once and for all.  But it turns out that contrib/intarray has some
code that doesn't use construct_array() but just builds arrays by hand,
so it didn't get the memo.  This appears to affect all of subarray(),
intset_subtract(), inner_int_union(), inner_int_inter(), and
intarray_concat_arrays().

Back-patch into v11.  In the past we've not back-patched this type of
change, but since v11 is still in beta it seems all right to include
this fix in it.  Besides it's more consistent to make the fix in v11
where 716ea626a appeared.

5d7c9347e4 Rework order of end-of-recovery actions to delay timeline history write
A critical failure in some of the end-of-recovery actions before the
end-of-recovery record is written can cause PostgreSQL to react
inconsistently with the rest of the cluster in the event of a crash
before the final record is written.  Two such failures are for example
an error while processing a two-phase state files or when operating on
recovery.conf.  With this commit, the failures are still considered
FATAL, but the write of the timeline history file is delayed as much as
possible so as the window between the moment the file is written and the
end-of-recovery record is generated gets minimized. This way, in the
event of a crash or a failure, the new timeline decided at promotion
will not seem taken by other nodes in the cluster.  It is not really
possible to reduce to zero this window, hence one could still see
failures if a crash happens between the history file write and the
end-of-recovery record, so any future code should be careful when
adding new end-of-recovery actions.  The original report from Magnus
Hagander mentioned a renamed recovery.conf as original end-of-recovery
failure which caused a timeline to be seen as taken but the subsequent
processing on the now-missing recovery.conf cause the startup process to
issue stop on FATAL, which at follow-up startup made the system
inconsistent because of on-disk changes which already happened.

Processing of two-phase state files still needs some work as corrupted
entries are simply ignored now.  This is left as a future item and this
commit fixes the original complain.

When performing pg_rewind, the presence of a read-only file which is not
accessible for writes will cause a failure while processing.  This can
cause the control file of the target data folder to be truncated,
causing it to not be reusable with a successive run.

Also, when pg_rewind fails mid-flight, there is likely no way to be able

d89348976c Fix assert in nested SQL procedure call
When executing CALL in PL/pgSQL, we need to set a snapshot before
invoking the to-be-called procedure.  Otherwise, the to-be-called
procedure might end up running without a snapshot.  For LANGUAGE SQL
procedures, this would result in an assertion failure.  (For most other
languages, this is usually not a problem, because those use SPI and SPI
sets snapshots in most cases.)  Setting the snapshot restores the
behavior of how CALL worked when it was handled as a generic SQL
statement in PL/pgSQL (exec_stmt_execsql()).

This change revealed another problem:  In SPI_commit(), we popped the
active snapshot before committing the transaction, to avoid "snapshot %p
still active" errors.  However, there is no particular reason why only
at most one snapshot should be on the stack.  So change this to pop all
active snapshots instead of only one.

ef64645950 Allow replication slots to be dropped in single-user mode
Starting with commit 9915de6c1c, replication slot drop uses a
condition variable sleep to wait until the current user of the slot goes
away.  This is more user friendly than the previous behavior of erroring
out if the slot is in use, but it fails with a not-for-user-consumption
error message in single-user mode; plus, if you're using single-user
mode because you don't want to start the server in the regular mode
(say, disk is full and WAL won't recycle because of the slot), it's
inconvenient.

Fix by skipping the cond variable sleep in single-user mode, since
there can't be anybody to wait for anyway.

aba2184bed Reduce cost of test_decoding's new oldest_xmin test
Change a whole-database VACUUM into doing just pg_attribute, which is
the portion that verifies what we want it to do.  The original
formulation wastes a lot of CPU time, which leads the test to fail when
runtime exceeds isolationtester timeout when it's super-slow, such as
under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.  Per buildfarm member friarbird.

It turns out that the previous shape of the test doesn't always detect
the condition it is supposed to detect (on unpatched reorderbuffer
code): the reason is that there is a good chance of encountering a
xl_running_xacts record (logged every 15 seconds) before the checkpoint
-- and because we advance the xmin when we receive that WAL record, and
we *don't* advance the xmin twice consecutively without receiving a
client message in between, that means the xmin is not advanced enough
for the tuple to be pruned from pg_attribute by VACUUM.  So the test
would spuriously pass.

The reason this test deficiency wasn't detected earlier is that HOT
pruning removes the tuple anyway, even if vacuum leaves it in place, so
the test correctly fails (detecting the coding mistake), but for the
wrong reason.

To fix this mess, run the s0_get_changes step twice before vacuum
instead of once: this seems to cause the xmin to be advanced reliably,
wreaking havoc with more certainty.

9a1bd82711 Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotion
If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first
post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks
the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be
set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while
all the WAL available should be replayed.  This leads to the instance
thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard
instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for
certain sets of records replayed.  When in crash recovery,
minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr,
which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this
commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the
control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash
recovery is performed.  Once switching to archive recovery or if crash
recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely
updated.

Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first
place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of
minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded
into a full-fledged patch by me.  The test included in this commit has
been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified
to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases.

Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3
which is where the end-of-recovery checkpoint is not run by the startup
process anymore.  The test gets easily supported down to 10, still it
has been tested on all branches.

0c69db762d Check for interrupts inside the nbtree page deletion code.
When deleting pages the nbtree code has to walk through siblings of a
tree node. When those sibling links are corrupted that can lead to
endless loops - which are currently not interruptible.  This is
especially problematic if autovacuum is repeatedly blocked on such
indexes, as it can be hard to get out of that situation without
resorting to single user mode.

Thus add interrupt checks to appropriate places in such
loops. Unfortunately in one of the cases it's it's not easy to do so.

Between 9.3 and 9.4 the page deletion (and page split) code changed
significantly. Before it was significantly less robust against
interruptions. Therefore don't backpatch to 9.3.

9e53171b10 Improve the performance of relation deletes during recovery.
When multiple relations are deleted at the same transaction,
the files of those relations are deleted by one call to smgrdounlinkall(),
which leads to scan whole shared_buffers only one time. OTOH,
previously, during recovery, smgrdounlink() (not smgrdounlinkall()) was
called for each file to delete, which led to scan shared_buffers
multiple times. Obviously this could cause to increase the WAL replay
time very much especially when shared_buffers was huge.

To alleviate this situation, this commit changes the recovery so that
it also calls smgrdounlinkall() only one time to delete multiple
relation files.

This is just fix for oversight of commit 279628a0a7, not new feature.
So, per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we concluded to backpatch this
to all supported versions.

5fca035903 Remove dead code for temporary relations in partition planning
Since recent commit 1c7c317c, temporary relations cannot be mixed with
permanent relations within the same partition tree, and the same counts
for temporary relations created by other sessions, which the planner
simply discarded.  Instead be paranoid and issue an error, as those
should be blocked at definition time, at least for now.

At the same time, a test case is added to stress what has been moved
when expand_partitioned_rtentry gets called recursively but bumps on a
partitioned relation with no partitions which should be handled the same
way as the non-inheritance case.  This code may be reworked in a close
future, and covering this code path will limit surprises.

As added in 1de09ad8eb the new functions
all accept signed integers as parameters. That's not great, because
it's perfectly reasonable to call them with unsigned parameters.
Unfortunately unsigned to signed conversion is not well defined, when
exceeding the range of the signed value.  That's presently not a
practical issue in postgres (among other reasons because we force
gcc's hand with -fwrapv).  But it's clearly not quite right.

Thus change the signatures to accept unsigned integers instead, signed
to unsigned conversion is always well defined. Also change the
backward compat pq_sendint() - while it's deprecated it seems better
to be consistent.

f49a80c481 Fix "base" snapshot handling in logical decoding
Two closely related bugs are fixed.  First, xmin of logical slots was
advanced too early.  During xl_running_xacts processing, xmin of the
slot was set to the oldest running xid in the record, but that's wrong:
actually, snapshots which will be used for not-yet-replayed transactions
might consider older txns as running too, so we need to keep xmin back
for them.  The problem wasn't noticed earlier because DDL which allows
to delete tuple (set xmax) while some another not-yet-committed
transaction looks at it is pretty rare, if not unique: e.g. all forms of
ALTER TABLE which change schema acquire ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock
conflicting with any inserts. The included test case (test_decoding's
oldest_xmin) uses ALTER of a composite type, which doesn't have such
interlocking.

To deal with this, we must be able to quickly retrieve oldest xmin
(oldest running xid among all assigned snapshots) from ReorderBuffer. To
fix, add another list of ReorderBufferTXNs to the reorderbuffer, where
transactions are sorted by base-snapshot-LSN.  This is slightly
different from the existing (sorted by first-LSN) list, because a
transaction can have an earlier LSN but a later Xmin, if its first
record does not obtain an xmin (eg. xl_xact_assignment).  Note this new
list doesn't fully replace the existing txn list: we still need that one
to prevent WAL recycling.

The second issue concerns SnapBuilder snapshots and subtransactions.
SnapBuildDistributeNewCatalogSnapshot never assigned a snapshot to a
transaction that is known to be a subtxn, which is good in the common
case that the top-level transaction already has one (no point in doing
so), but a bug otherwise.  To fix, arrange to transfer the snapshot from
the subtxn to its top-level txn as soon as the kinship gets known.
test_decoding's snapshot_transfer verifies this.

Also, fix a minor memory leak: refcount of toplevel's old base snapshot
was not decremented when the snapshot is transferred from child.

Liberally sprinkle code comments, and rewrite a few existing ones.  This
part is my (Álvaro's) contribution to this commit, as I had to write all
those comments in order to understand the existing code and Arseny's
patch.

4d54543efa Fix upper limit for vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor
6ca33a88 sets upper limit for vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor to
DBL_MAX.  DBL_MAX appears to be platform-dependent. That causes
many buildfarm animals to fail, because we check boundaries of
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor in regression tests.

This commit changes upper limit from DBL_MAX to just "large enough"
limit, which was arbitrary selected as 1e10.

aefb0a382c Correct a comment on logtape.c's leader tape.
randomAccess parallel tuplesorts are disallowed because the leader would
try to write to its own leader tape, not because the leader would try to
write to a worker tape directly.

Cleanup from commit 9da0cc3528.

cdc2693a11 Remove obsolete comment block in nbtsort.c.
Building a new nbtree index through incremental insertions would always
be slower than our actual approach of sorting using tuplesort,
assembling leaf pages from tuplesort output, and writing and WAL-logging
whole pages.  Remove a comment block from the Berkeley days claiming
that incremental insertions might be slightly faster with presorted
input.

040da42367 Enable failure to rename a partitioned index
Concurrently with partitioned index development (commit 8b08f7d482),
the code to handle failure to rename indexes was refactored (commit
8b9e9644dc).  Turns out that that particular case was untested, which
naturally led it to be broken.  Add tests and the missing code line.

bbbbc2f8f3 Fix documentation bug related to backup history file.
The backup history file has been no longer necessary for recovery
since the version 9.0. It's now basically just for informational purpose.
But previously the documentations still described that a recovery
requests the backup history file to proceed. The commit fixes this
documentation bug.

Back-patch to all supported versions.
