When a partition is created as part of a trigger processing, it is
possible that the partition which just gets created changes the
properties of the table the executor of the ongoing command relies on,
causing a subsequent crash. This has been found possible when for
example using a BEFORE INSERT which creates a new partition for a
partitioned table being inserted to.
Any attempt to do so is blocked when working on a partition, with
regression tests added for both CREATE TABLE PARTITION OF and ALTER
TABLE ATTACH PARTITION.

Modifying the parse tree at execution time is, or at least ought to be,

exec_stmt_call() tried to extract information out of a CALL statement's
argument list without using expand_function_arguments(), apparently in
the hope of saving a few nanoseconds by not processing defaulted
arguments. It got that quite wrong though, leading to crashes with
named arguments, as well as failure to enforce writability of the
argument for a defaulted INOUT parameter. Fix and simplify the logic
by using expand_function_arguments() before examining the list.
Also, move the argument-examination to just after producing the CALL
command's plan, before invoking the called procedure. This ensures
that we'll track possible changes in the procedure's argument list
correctly, and avoids a hazard of the plan cache being flushed while
the procedure executes.
Also fix assorted falsehoods and omissions in associated documentation.

On Windows, in UTF8 database encoding, what char2wchar() produces is
UTF16 not UTF32, ie, characters above U+FFFF will be represented by
surrogate pairs. t_isdigit() and siblings did not account for this
and failed to provide a large enough result buffer. That in turn
led to bogus "invalid multibyte character for locale" errors, because
contrary to what you might think from char2wchar()'s documentation,
its Windows code path doesn't cope sanely with buffer overflow.
The solution for t_isdigit() and siblings is pretty clear: provide
a 3-wchar_t result buffer not 2.
char2wchar() also needs some work to provide more consistent, and more
accurately documented, buffer overrun behavior. But that's a bigger job
and it doesn't actually have any immediate payoff, so leave it for later.

The solution arrived at in commit e74dd00f5 presumes that the compiler
has a suitable default -isysroot setting ... but further experience
shows that in many combinations of macOS version, XCode version, Xcode
command line tools version, and phase of the moon, Apple's compiler
will *not* supply a default -isysroot value.
We could potentially go back to the approach used in commit 68fc227dd,
but I don't have a lot of faith in the reliability or life expectancy of
that either. Let's just revert to the approach already shipped in 11.0,
namely specifying an -isysroot switch globally. As a partial response to
the concerns raised by Jakob Egger, adjust the contents of Makefile.global
to look like
CPPFLAGS = -isysroot $(PG_SYSROOT) ...
PG_SYSROOT = /path/to/sysroot
This allows overriding the sysroot path at build time in a relatively

It's possible to get away with that in most normal queries, since the

creation or filling of large exclusion-constraint indexes.
Also, document that amendscan is supposed to free what ambeginscan

This patch absorbs an upstream fix to "zic" for a recently-introduced
bug that made it output data that some 32-bit clients couldn't read.
Given the current source data, the bug only manifests in zones with
leap seconds, which we don't generate, so that there's no actual
change in our installed timezone data files from this. Still, in
case somebody uses our copy of "zic" to do something else, it seems
best to apply the fix promptly.
Also, update the README's notes about converting upstream code to
our conventions.
An array-type coercion appearing within a CASE that has a constant
(after const-folding) test expression was mangled by the planner, causing
all the elements of the resulting array to be equal to the coerced value
of the CASE's test expression. This is my oversight in commit c12d570fa:
that changed ArrayCoerceExpr to use a subexpression involving a
CaseTestExpr, and I didn't notice that eval_const_expressions needed an
adjustment to keep from folding such a CaseTestExpr to a constant when
it's inside a suitable CASE.
This is another in what's getting to be a depressingly long line of bugs
associated with misidentification of the referent of a CaseTestExpr.
We're overdue to redesign that mechanism; but any such fix is unlikely
to be back-patchable into v11. As a stopgap, fix eval_const_expressions
to do what it must here. Also add a bunch of comments pointing out the
restrictions and assumptions that are needed to make this work at all.
Also fix a related oversight: contain_context_dependent_node() was not
aware of the relationship of ArrayCoerceExpr to CaseTestExpr. That was
somewhat fail-soft, in that the outcome of a wrong answer would be to
prevent optimizations that could have been made, but let's fix it while
we're at it.

PQnotifies() is defined to just process already-read data, not try to read
any more from the socket. (This is a debatable decision, perhaps, but I'm
hesitant to change longstanding library behavior.) The documentation has
long recommended calling PQconsumeInput() before PQnotifies() to ensure
that any already-arrived message would get absorbed and processed.
However, psql did not get that memo, which explains why it's not very
reliable about reporting notifications promptly.
Also, most (not quite all) callers called PQconsumeInput() just once before
a PQnotifies() loop. Taking this recommendation seriously implies that we
should do PQconsumeInput() before each call. This is more important now
that we have "payload" strings in notification messages than it was before;
that increases the probability of having more than one packet's worth
of notify messages. Hence, adjust code as well as documentation examples
to do it like that.

Commit 4f85fde8e introduced some code that was meant to ensure that we'd
process cancel, die, sinval catchup, and notify interrupts while waiting
for client input. But there was a flaw: it supposed that the process
latch would be set upon arrival at secure_read() if any such interrupt
was pending. In reality, we might well have cleared the process latch
at some earlier point while those flags remained set -- particularly
notifyInterruptPending, which can't be handled as long as we're within
a transaction.
To fix the NOTIFY case, also attempt to process signals (except
ProcDiePending) before trying to read.
Also, if we see that ProcDiePending is set before we read, forcibly set the
process latch to ensure that we will handle that signal promptly if no data
is available. I also made it set the process latch on the way out, in case
there is similar logic elsewhere. (It remains true that we won't service
ProcDiePending here unless we need to wait for input.)
The code for handling ProcDiePending during a write needs those changes,
too.
Also be a little more careful about when to reset whereToSendOutput,
and improve related comments.

About half of this is purely cosmetic changes to reduce the diff between
our code and theirs, like inserting "const" markers where they have them.
The other half is tracking actual code changes in zic.c and localtime.c.
I don't think any of these represent near-term compatibility hazards, but
it seems best to stay up to date.
I also fixed longstanding bugs in our code for producing the
known_abbrevs.txt list, which by chance hadn't been exposed before,
but which resulted in some garbage output after applying the upstream
changes in zic.c. Notably, because upstream removed their old phony
transitions at the Big Bang, it's now necessary to cope with TZif files
containing no DST transition times at all.
DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, and Russia (Volgograd).
Historical corrections for China, Japan, Macau, and North Korea.
Note: like the previous tzdata update, this involves a depressingly
large amount of semantically-meaningless churn in tzdata.zi. That
is a consequence of upstream's data compression method assigning
unstable abbreviations to DST rulesets. I complained about that
to them last time, and this version now uses an assignment method
that pays some heed to not changing abbreviations unnecessarily.
So hopefully, that'll be better going forward.
The original implementation of pg_verify_checksums used a blacklist to
decide which files should be skipped for scanning as they do not include
data checksums, like pg_internal.init or pg_control. However, this
missed two things:
- Some files are created within builds of EXEC_BACKEND and these were
not listed, causing failures on Windows.
- Extensions may create custom files in data folders, causing the tool
to equally fail.
This commit switches to a whitelist-like method instead by checking if
the files to scan are authorized relation files. This is close to a
reverse-engineering of what is defined in relpath.c in charge of
building the relation paths, and we could consider refactoring what this
patch does so as all routines are in a single place. This is left for
later.
This is based on a suggestion from Andres Freund. TAP tests are updated
so as multiple file patterns are tested. The bug has been spotted by
various buildfarm members as a result of b34e84f which has introduced
the TAP tests of pg_verify_checksums.

To avoid the sorts of problems complained of by Jakob Egger, it'd be
best if configure didn't emit any references to the sysroot path at all.
In the case of PL/Tcl, we can do that just by keeping our hands off the
TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC string altogether. In the case of PL/Perl, we need to
substitute -iwithsysroot for -I in the compile commands, which is easily
handled if we change to using a configure output variable that includes
the switch not only the directory name. Since PL/Tcl and PL/Python
already do it like that, this seems like good consistency cleanup anyway.
Hence, this replaces the advice given to Perl-related extensions in commit
5e2217131; instead of writing "-I$(perl_archlibexp)/CORE", they should
just write "$(perl_includespec)". (The old way continues to work, but not
on recent macOS.)
It's still the case that configure needs to be aware of the sysroot
path internally, but that's cleaner than what we had before.

If the lock wait query failed, isolationtester would report the
PQerrorMessage from some other connection, meaning there would be
no message or an unrelated one. This seems like a pretty unlikely
occurrence, but if it did happen, this bug could make it really
difficult/confusing to figure out what happened. That seems to
justify patching all the way back.
In passing, clean up another place where the "wrong" conn was used
for an error report. That one's not actually buggy because it's
a different alias for the same connection, but it's still confusing
to the reader.
In the IANA timezone code, tzparse() always tries to load the zone
file named by TZDEFRULES ("posixrules"). Previously, we'd hacked
that logic to skip the load in the "lastditch" code path, which we use
only to initialize the default "GMT" zone during GUC initialization.
That's critical for a couple of reasons: since we do not support leap
seconds, we *must not* allow "GMT" to have leap seconds, and since this
case runs before the GUC subsystem is fully alive, we'd really rather
not take the risk of pg_open_tzfile throwing any errors.
However, that still left the code reading TZDEFRULES on every other
call, something we'd noticed to the extent of having added code to cache
the result so it was only done once per process not a lot of times.
Andres Freund complained about the static data space used up for the
cache; but as long as the logic was like this, there was no point in
trying to get rid of that space.
We can improve matters by looking a bit more closely at what the IANA
code actually needs the TZDEFRULES data for. One thing it does is
that if "posixrules" is a leap-second-aware zone, the leap-second
behavior will be absorbed into every POSIX-style zone specification.
However, that's a behavior we'd really prefer to do without, since
for our purposes the end effect is to render every POSIX-style zone
name unsupported. Otherwise, the TZDEFRULES data is used only if
the POSIX zone name specifies DST but doesn't include a transition
date rule (e.g., "EST5EDT" rather than "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0").
That is a minority case for our purposes --- in particular, it
never happens when tzload() invokes tzparse() to interpret a
transition date rule string found in a tzdata zone file.
Hence, if we legislate that we're going to ignore leap-second data
from "posixrules", we can postpone the TZDEFRULES load into the path
where we actually need to substitute for a missing date rule string.
That means it will never happen at all in common scenarios, making it
reasonable to dynamically allocate the cache space when it does happen.
Even when the data is already loaded, this saves some cycles in the
common code path since we avoid a memcpy of 23KB or so. And, IMO at
least, this is a less ugly hack on the IANA logic than what we had
before, since it's not messing with the lastditch-vs-regular code paths.
Back-patch to all supported branches, not so much because this is a
critical change as that I want to keep all our copies of the IANA
timezone code in sync.

Rethink the solution applied in commit 5e2217131 to get PL/Tcl to
build on macOS Mojave. I feared that adding -isysroot globally might
have undesirable consequences, and sure enough Jakob Egger reported
one: it complicates building extensions with a different Xcode version
than was used for the core server. (I find that a risky proposition
in general, but apparently it works most of the time, so we shouldn't
break it if we don't have to.)
We'd already adopted the solution for PL/Perl of inserting the sysroot
path directly into the -I switches used to find Perl's headers, and we
can do the same thing for PL/Tcl by changing the -iwithsysroot switch
that Apple's tclConfig.sh reports. This restricts the risks to PL/Perl
and PL/Tcl themselves and directly-dependent extensions, which is a lot
more pleasing in general than a global -isysroot switch.
Along the way, tighten the test to see if we need to inject the sysroot
path into $perl_includedir, as I'd speculated about upthread but not
gotten round to doing.

localtime.c's "struct state" is a rather large object, ~23KB. We were
statically allocating one for gmtsub() to use to represent the GMT
timezone, even though that function is not at all heavily used and is
never reached in most backends. Let's malloc it on-demand, instead.
This does pose the question of how to handle a malloc failure, but
there's already a well-defined error report convention here, ie
set errno and return NULL.
We have but one caller of pg_gmtime in HEAD, and two in back branches,
neither of which were troubling to check for error. Make them do so.
The possible errors are sufficiently unlikely (out-of-range timestamp,
and now malloc failure) that I think elog() is adequate.
