read_binary_file commit because of ignoring return value of ‘fread’.
So let's make everyone happy by testing the return value even though
not strictly needed.

read_binary_file(), used by SQL functions pg_read_file() and friends,
uses stat to determine file length to read, when not passed an explicit
length as an argument. This is problematic, for example, if the file
being read is a virtual file with a stat-reported length of zero.
Arrange to read until EOF, or StringInfo data string lenth limit, is
reached instead.
Original complaint and patch by me, with significant review, corrections,
advice, and code optimizations by Tom Lane. Backpatched to v11. Prior to
that only paths relative to the data and log dirs were allowed for files,
so no "zero length" files were reachable anyway.

After running GetForeignRelSize for a foreign table, adjust rel->tuples
to be at least as large as rel->rows. This prevents bizarre behavior
in estimate_num_groups() and perhaps other places, especially in the
scenario where rel->tuples is zero because pg_class.reltuples is
(suggesting that ANALYZE has never been run for the table). As things
stood, we'd end up estimating one group out of any GROUP BY on such a
table, whereas the default group-count estimate is more likely to result
in a sane plan.
Also, clarify in the documentation that GetForeignRelSize has the option
to override the rel->tuples value if it has a better idea of what to use
than what is in pg_class.reltuples.

Commit ecd9e9f0b fixed the problem in the wrong place, causing unwanted
side-effects on the behavior of GetNextTempTableSpace(). Instead,
let's make SharedFileSetInit() responsible for subbing in the value
of MyDatabaseTableSpace when the default tablespace is called for.
The convention about what is in the tempTableSpaces[] array is
evidently insufficiently documented, so try to improve that.
It also looks like SharedFileSetInit() is doing the wrong thing in the
case where temp_tablespaces is empty. It was hard-wiring use of the
pg_default tablespace, but it seems like using MyDatabaseTableSpace
is more consistent with what happens for other temp files.
Back-patch the reversion of PrepareTempTablespaces()'s behavior to
9.5, as ecd9e9f0b was. The changes in SharedFileSetInit() go back
to v11 where that was introduced. (Note there is net zero code change
before v11 from these two patch sets, so nothing to release-note.)

A likely copy/paste error in 98e8b48053 from back in 2004 would
cause temp tablespace to be reset to InvalidOid if temp_tablespaces
was set to the same value as the primary tablespace in the database.
This would cause shared filesets (such as for parallel hash joins)
to ignore them, putting the temporary files in the default tablespace
instead of the configured one. The bug is in the old code, but it
appears to have been exposed only once we had shared filesets.

explain_get_index_name() applied quote_identifier() to the index name.
This is fine for text output, but the non-text output formats all have
their own quoting conventions and would much rather start from the
actual index name. For example in JSON you'd get something like
"Index Name": "\"My Index\"",
which is surely not desirable, especially when the same does not
happen for table names. Hence, move the responsibility for applying
quoting out to the callers, where it can go into already-existing
special code paths for text format.
This changes the API spec for users of explain_get_index_name_hook:
before, they were supposed to apply quote_identifier() if necessary,
now they should not. Research suggests that the only publicly
available user of the hook is hypopg, and it actually forgot to
apply quoting anyway, so it's fine. (In any case, there's no
behavioral change for the output of a hook as seen in non-text
EXPLAIN formats, so this won't break any case that programs should
be relying on.)
Digging in the commit logs, it appears that quoting was included in
explain_get_index_name's duties when commit 604ffd280 invented it;
and that was fine at the time because we only had text output format.
This should have been rethought when non-text formats were invented,
but it wasn't.
This is a fairly clear bug for users of non-text EXPLAIN formats,
so back-patch to all supported branches.

The IANA time zone folk have deprecated use of a "posixrules" file in
the tz database. While for now it's our choice whether to keep
supplying one in our own builds, installations built with
--with-system-tzdata will soon be needing to cope with that file not
being present, at least on some platforms.
This causes a problem for the horology test, which expected the
nonstandard POSIX zone spec "CST7CDT" to apply pre-2007 US daylight
savings rules. That does happen if the posixrules file supplies such
information, but otherwise the test produces undesired results.
To fix, add an explicit transition date rule that matches 2005 practice.
(We could alternatively have switched the test to use some real time
zone, but it seems useful to have coverage of this type of zone spec.)
While at it, update a documentation example that also relied on
"CST7CDT"; use a real-world zone name instead. Also, document why
the zone names EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT aren't subject to
similar failures when "posixrules" is missing.

As s_lock_test, the already existing test for spinlocks, isn't run in
an automated fashion (and doesn't test a normal backend environment),
adding tests that are run as part of a normal regression run is a good
idea. Particularly in light of several recent and upcoming spinlock
related fixes.
Currently the new tests are run as part of the pre-existing
test_atomic_ops() test. That perhaps can be quibbled about, but for
now seems ok.
The only operations that s_lock_test tests but the new tests don't are
the detection of a stuck spinlock and S_LOCK_FREE (which is otherwise
unused, not implemented on all platforms, and will be removed).
This currently contains a test for more than INT_MAX spinlocks (only
run with --disable-spinlocks), to ensure the recent commit fixing a
bug with more than INT_MAX spinlock initializations is correct. That
test is somewhat slow, so we might want to disable it after a few
days.
It might be worth retiring s_lock_test after this. The added coverage
of a stuck spinlock probably isn't worth the added complexity?

We'd glossed over most of this complexity for years, but it's hard
to avoid writing it all down now, so that we can explain what happens
when there's no "posixrules" file in the IANA time zone database.
That was at best a tiny minority situation till now, but it's likely
to become quite common in the future, so we'd better explain it.
Nonetheless, we don't really encourage people to use POSIX zone specs;
picking a named zone is almost always what you really want, unless
perhaps you're stuck with an out-of-date zone database. Therefore,
let's shove all this detail into an appendix.

When merging two NumericAggStates, the code missed adding the new
state's NaNcount unless its N was also nonzero; since those counts
are independent, this is wrong.
This would only have visible effect if some partial aggregate scans
found only NaNs while earlier ones found only non-NaNs; then we could
end up falsely deciding that there were no NaNs and fail to return a
NaN final result as expected. That's pretty improbable, so it's no
surprise this hasn't been reported from the field. Still, it's a bug.
I didn't try to produce a regression test that would show the bug,
but I did notice that these functions weren't being reached at all
in our regression tests, so I improved the tests to at least
exercise them. With these additions, I see pretty complete code
coverage on the aggregation-related functions in numeric.c.
Back-patch to 9.6 where this code was introduced. (I only added
the improved test case as far back as v10, though, since the
relevant part of aggregates.sql isn't there at all in 9.6.)
SSI's HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() test failed to correctly
handle conditions involving a concurrently inserted tuple which is later
concurrently updated by a separate transaction . A SELECT statement
that called HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() could end up using the
same XID (updater's XID) for both the original tuple, and the successor
tuple, missing the XID of the xact that created the original tuple
entirely. This only happened when neither tuple from the chain was
visible to the transaction's MVCC snapshot.
The observable symptoms of this bug were subtle. A pair of transactions
could commit, with the later transaction failing to observe the effects
of the earlier transaction (because of the confusion created by the
update to the non-visible row). This bug dates all the way back to
commit dafaa3ef, which added SSI.
To fix, make sure that we check the xmin of concurrently inserted tuples
that happen to also have been updated concurrently.

Previously we used pg_atomic_write_64_impl inside

I previously suppressed one instance of this problem (6c878edc1d),

Commit 7be5d8df1f surfaced the logic
error, which had no functional implications, by adding "use warnings".
The buildfarm always customizes PROVE_FLAGS, so the warning did not
appear there. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).
Even when we've concluded that we have a hard write failure on the
socket, we should continue to try to read data. This gives us an
opportunity to collect any final error message that the backend might
have sent before closing the connection; moreover it is the job of
pqReadData not pqSendSome to close the socket once EOF is detected.
Due to an oversight in 1f39a1c06, pqSendSome failed to try to collect
data in the case where we'd already set write_failed. The problem was
masked for ordinary query operations (which really only make one write
attempt anyway), but COPY to the server would continue to send data
indefinitely after a mid-COPY connection loss.
Hence, add pqReadData calls into the paths where pqSendSome drops data
because of write_failed. If we've lost the connection, this will
eventually result in closing the socket and setting CONNECTION_BAD,
which will cause PQputline and siblings to report failure, allowing
the application to terminate the COPY sooner. (Basically this restores
what happened before 1f39a1c06.)
There are related issues that this does not solve; for example, if the
backend sends an error but doesn't drop the connection, we did and
still will keep pumping COPY data as long as the application sends it.
Fixing that will require application-visible behavior changes though,
and anyway it's an ancient behavior that we've had few complaints about.
For now I'm just trying to fix the regression from 1f39a1c06.

Commit 5e0928005 changed the planner so that, instead of blindly using
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID when invoking operators for selectivity estimation,
it would use the collation of the column whose statistics we're
considering. This was recognized as still being not quite the right
thing, but it seemed like a good incremental improvement. However,
shortly thereafter we introduced nondeterministic collations, and that
creates cases where operators can fail if they're passed the wrong
collation. We don't want planning to fail in cases where the query itself
would work, so this means that we *must* use the query's collation when
invoking operators for estimation purposes.
The only real problem this creates is in ineq_histogram_selectivity, where
the binary search might produce a garbage answer if we perform comparisons
using a different collation than the column's histogram is ordered with.
However, when the query's collation is significantly different from the
column's default collation, the estimate we previously generated would be
pretty irrelevant anyway; so it's not clear that this will result in
noticeably worse estimates in practice. (A follow-on patch will improve
this situation in HEAD, but it seems too invasive for back-patch.)
The patch requires changing the signatures of mcv_selectivity and allied
functions, which are exported and very possibly are used by extensions.
In HEAD, I just did that, but an API/ABI break of this sort isn't
acceptable in stable branches. Therefore, in v12 the patch introduces
"mcv_selectivity_ext" and so on, with signatures matching HEAD, and makes
the old functions into wrappers that assume DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID should
be used. That does not match the prior behavior, but it should avoid risk
of failure in most cases. (In practice, I think most extension datatypes
aren't collation-aware, so the change probably doesn't matter to them.)
Per report from James Lucas. Back-patch to v12 where the problem was
introduced.

It's intentional that we don't allow values greater than 24 hours,
while we do allow "24:00:00" as well as "23:59:60" as inputs.
However, the range check was miscoded in such a way that it would
accept "23:59:60.nnn" with a nonzero fraction. For time or timetz,
the stored result would then be greater than "24:00:00" which would
fail dump/reload, not to mention possibly confusing other operations.
Fix by explicitly calculating the result and making sure it does not
exceed 24 hours. (This calculation is redundant with what will happen
later in tm2time or tm2timetz. Maybe someday somebody will find that
annoying enough to justify refactoring to avoid the duplication; but
that seems too invasive for a back-patched bug fix, and the cost is
probably unmeasurable anyway.)
Note that this change also rejects such input as the time portion
of a timestamp(tz) value.

Fix some more violations of the "only straight-line code inside a
spinlock" rule. These are hazardous not only because they risk
holding the lock for an excessively long time, but because it's
possible for palloc to throw elog(ERROR), leaving a stuck spinlock
behind.
copy_replication_slot() had two separate places that did pallocs
while holding a spinlock. We can make the code simpler and safer
by copying the whole ReplicationSlot struct into a local variable
while holding the spinlock, and then referencing that copy.
(While that's arguably more cycles than we really need to spend
holding the lock, the struct isn't all that big, and this way seems
far more maintainable than copying fields piecemeal. Anyway this
is surely much cheaper than a palloc.) That bug goes back to v12.
InvalidateObsoleteReplicationSlots() not only did a palloc while
holding a spinlock, but for extra sloppiness then leaked the memory
--- probably for the lifetime of the checkpointer process, though
I didn't try to verify that. Fortunately that silliness is new
in HEAD.
pg_get_replication_slots() had a cosmetic violation of the rule,
in that it only assumed it's safe to call namecpy() while holding
a spinlock. Still, that's a hazard waiting to bite somebody, and
there were some other cosmetic coding-rule violations in the same
function, so clean it up. I back-patched this as far as v10; the
code exists before that but it looks different, and this didn't
