The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise
every permutation of their test steps, but AFAICS there is no value in
exercising more than one. This matters because each permutation costs
about six seconds, thanks to the "pg_sleep(6)". Perhaps we could
reduce that, but the useless permutations seem worth getting rid of
in any case. (Note that sto_using_hash_index got it right already.)
While here, clean up some other sloppiness such as an unused table.
This doesn't make too much difference in interactive testing, since the
wasted time is typically masked by parallelization with other tests.
However, the buildfarm runs this as a serial step, which means we can
expect to shave ~40 seconds from every buildfarm run. That makes it
worth back-patching.

We've heard a couple of reports of people having trouble with
multi-gigabyte-sized query-texts files. It occurred to me that on
32-bit platforms, there could be an issue with integer overflow
of calculations associated with the total query text size.
Address that with several changes:
1. Limit pg_stat_statements.max to INT_MAX / 2 not INT_MAX.
The hashtable code will bound it to that anyway unless "long"
is 64 bits. We still need overflow guards on its use, but
this helps.
2. Add a check to prevent extending the query-texts file to
more than MaxAllocHugeSize. If it got that big, qtext_load_file
would certainly fail, so there's not much point in allowing it.
Without this, we'd need to consider whether extent, query_offset,
and related variables shouldn't be off_t not size_t.
3. Adjust the comparisons in need_gc_qtexts() to be done in 64-bit
arithmetic on all platforms. It appears possible that under duress
those multiplications could overflow 32 bits, yielding a false
conclusion that we need to garbage-collect the texts file, which
could lead to repeatedly garbage-collecting after every hash table
insertion.
Per report from Bruno da Silva. I'm not convinced that these
issues fully explain his problem; there may be some other bug that's
contributing to the query-texts file becoming so large in the first
place. But it did get that big, so #2 is a reasonable defense,
and #3 could explain the reported performance difficulties.
(See also commit 8bbe4cbd9, which addressed some related bugs.

This issue is old, and is primarily a problem for old platforms,

Previously, a byte with the high bit set was just transmitted
as-is by charin() and charout(). This is problematic if the
database encoding is multibyte, because the result of charout()
won't be validly encoded, which breaks various stuff that
expects all text strings to be validly encoded. We've
previously decided to enforce encoding validity rather than try
to individually harden each place that might have a problem with
such strings, so it's time to do something about "char".
To fix, represent high-bit-set characters as \ooo (backslash
and three octal digits), following the ancient "escape" format
for bytea. charin() will continue to accept the old way as well,
though that is only reachable in single-byte encodings.
Add some test cases just so there is coverage for this code.
We'll otherwise leave this question undocumented as it was before,
because we don't really want to encourage end-user use of "char".
For the moment, back-patch into v15 so that this change appears
in 15beta3. If there's not great pushback we should consider
absorbing this change into the older branches.

I thought commit fd96d14d9 had plugged all the holes of this sort,
but no, function RTEs could produce oversize tuples too, either
via long coldeflists or just from multiple functions in one RTE.
(I'm pretty sure the other variants of base RTEs aren't a problem,
because they ultimately refer to either a table or a sub-SELECT,
whose widths are enforced elsewhere. But we explicitly allow join
RTEs to be overwidth, as long as you don't try to form their
tuple result.)

In the short time this function has existed, it's already proven to be
a nontrivial maintenance burden, since it has to be updated whenever a
node tag is added or removed. Although in principle we could now
automate that, I see little justification for having such functionality
here at all. The function is only being applied to utility statements,
for which we already have infrastructure for obtaining string names.
Moreover, that infrastructure produces already-familiar-to-users names,
unlike nodetag_to_string().
So, remove this function and use the existing infrastructure instead.
That saves over a thousand lines of largely-unreachable code.
Back-patch to v15 where this code came in. Although it seems unlikely
that v15's nodetag list will change anymore, we might as well keep the
two branches looking and acting alike; otherwise back-patching any

Two callers of generate_useful_gather_paths were testing the wrong
thing when deciding whether to call that function: they checked for
being at the top of the current join subproblem, rather than being at
the actual top join. This'd result in failing to construct parallel
paths for a sub-join for which they might be useful.
While set_rel_pathlist() isn't actively broken, it seems best to
make its identical-in-intention test for this be like the other two.
This has been wrong all along, but given the lack of field complaints

A RowExpr with more than MaxTupleAttributeNumber columns would fail at
execution anyway, since we cannot form a tuple datum with more than that
many columns. While heap_form_tuple() has a check for too many columns,
it emerges that there are some intermediate bits of code that don't
check and can be driven to failure with sufficiently many columns.
Checking this at parse time seems like the most appropriate place to
install a defense, since we already check SELECT list length there.
While at it, make the SELECT-list-length error use the same errcode
(TOO_MANY_COLUMNS) as heap_form_tuple does, rather than the generic
PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

Commit 9a974cbcba arranged to preserve
the relfilenode of user tables across pg_upgrade, but failed to notice
that pg_upgrade treats pg_largeobject as a user table and thus it needs
the same treatment. Otherwise, large objects will appear to vanish
after a pg_upgrade.
Commit d498e052b4 fixed this problem
by teaching pg_dump to UPDATE pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject
and its index. However, because an UPDATE on the catalog rows doesn't
change anything on disk, this can leave stray files behind in the new
cluster. They will normally be empty, but it's a little bit untidy.
Hence, this commit arranges to do the same thing using DDL. Specifically,
it makes TRUNCATE work for the pg_largeobject catalog when in
binary-upgrade mode, and it then uses that command in binary-upgrade
dumps as a way of setting pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject and
its index. That way, the old files are removed from the new cluster.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories
when replaying database-creation WAL records. Prior to this
patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case;
however, the directories could be legitimately missing.
Consider the following sequence of commands:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the
tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the
create database record again, crash recovery must be able to continue.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in 49d9cfc68b, but it
was reverted because of design issues. This new version is based
on Robert Haas' proposal: any missing tablespaces are created
during recovery before reaching consistency. Tablespaces
are created as real directories, and should be deleted
by later replay. CheckRecoveryConsistency ensures
they have disappeared.
The problems detected by this new code are reported as PANIC,
except when allow_in_place_tablespaces is set to ON, in which
case they are WARNING. Apart from making tests possible, this
gives users an escape hatch in case things don't go as planned.

On Windows with Cygwin, get_dirent_type() already worked for symlinks,
as it does on POSIX systems, because Cygwin has its own fake symlinks
that behave like POSIX (on closer inspection, Cygwin's dirent has the
BSD d_type extension but it's probably always DT_UNKNOWN, so we fall
back to lstat(), which understands Cygwin symlinks with S_ISLNK()).
On Windows with MinGW/MSYS, we need extra code, because the MinGW

We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block",
meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail
to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state.
However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for
simple query protocol. In extended protocol, we didn't commit
until receiving a Sync message. Since the client is allowed to
issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that
command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK. In any case, sitting
in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message
that might not come seems pretty risky.
This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline
mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query
protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it
before.
To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells
exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit. This seems
to be the approach that does least damage to existing working
cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes.
While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly
says how to use pipelining. That's latent in the existing docs if
you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it

Since a2c8499, HbaFileName (default pg_hba.conf) was getting used
instead of IdentFileName (default pg_ident.conf) as the parent file to
use as reference when parsing the contents of pg_ident.conf, with
pg_ident.conf correctly opened, when feeding this information to
pg_ident_file_mappings. This had two consequences:
- On an I/O error when reading pg_ident.conf, the user would get an
ERROR message referring to pg_hba.conf and not pg_ident.conf.
- When reading an external file with a relative path using '@' in
pg_ident.conf, the directory used to look at the file to load would be
the base directory of pg_hba.conf rather than the one of pg_ident.conf,
leading to errors in pg_ident_file_mappings inconsistent with what gets
loaded at startup when pg_ident.conf and pg_hba.conf are located in
different directories.

Previously we did this after InitPostgres, at a somewhat randomly chosen
place within PostgresMain. However, since commit a0ffa885e doing this
outside a transaction can cause a crash, if we need to check permissions
while replacing a placeholder GUC. (Besides which, a preloaded library
could itself want to do database access within _PG_init.)
To avoid needing an additional transaction start/end in every session,
move the process_session_preload_libraries call to within InitPostgres's
transaction. That requires teaching the code not to call it when
InitPostgres is called from somewhere other than PostgresMain, since
we don't want session_preload_libraries to affect background workers.
The most future-proof solution here seems to be to add an additional
flag parameter to InitPostgres; fortunately, we're not yet very worried
about API stability for v15.
Doing this also exposed the fact that we're currently honoring
session_preload_libraries in walsenders, even those not connected to
any database. This seems, at minimum, a POLA violation: walsenders
are not interactive sessions. Let's stop doing that.

It incorrectly used GetBufferDescriptor instead of
GetLocalBufferDescriptor, causing it to not find the correct buffer in
most cases, and performing an out-of-bounds memory read in the corner
case that temp_buffers > shared_buffers.
It also bumped the usage-count on the buffer, even if it was
previously pinned. That won't lead to crashes or incorrect results,
but it's different from what the shared-buffer case does, and
different from the usual code in LocalBufferAlloc. Fix that too, and
make the code ordering match LocalBufferAlloc() more closely, so that
it's easier to verify that it's doing the same thing.
Currently, ReadRecentBuffer() is only used with non-temp relations, in

The dependency logic failed to register a column-level dependency
when a view or rule contains a reference to a specific column of
the result of a function-returning-composite. That meant you could
drop the column from the composite type, causing trouble for future
executions of the view. We've known about this for years, but never
summoned the energy to actually fix it, instead installing various
low-level defenses to prevent crashing on references to dropped columns.
We had to do that to plug the hole in stable branches, where there might
be pre-existing broken references; but let's fix the root cause today.
To do that, add some logic (borrowed from get_rte_attribute_is_dropped)
to find_expr_references_walker, to check whether a Var referencing an
RTE_FUNCTION RTE is referencing a column of a composite type, and if
so add the proper dependency.
However ... it seems mighty unwise to remove said low-level defenses,
since there could be other bugs now or in the future that allow
reaching them. By the same token, letting those defenses go untested
seems unwise. Hence, rather than just dropping the associated test
cases, hack them to continue working by the expedient of manually
dropping the pg_depend entries that this fix installs.

Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM
that return the composite type. There are "soft" references,
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,
that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't
address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.
We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the
underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not
print aliases for them.
Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.
If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name
to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.
Per report from Timo Stolz. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Most of these have been introduced in d2d3547 with the new pattern
validation logic, and would leak memory worth an amount of one
PQExpBuffer each time (as of 256 bytes at minimum, possibly more).
Most of the patch has been written by Tang Haiying, with a few tweaks
coming from Álvaro Herrera.

Without processing shared_preload_libraries, it's impossible to
recover if custom WAL resource managers are needed. It may also pose a
problem running VACUUM on a table with a custom AM, if the module
implementing the AM is expecting to be loaded by
shared_preload_libraries.
The reason this wasn't done before was just the general principle to
do fewer things in single-user mode. But it's easy enough to just set
shared_preload_libraries to empty, for the same effect.

When a non-exclusive backup is canceled, do_pg_abort_backup() is called
and resets some variables set by pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14
or before). But previously it forgot to reset the session state indicating
whether a non-exclusive backup is in progress or not in this session.
This issue could cause an assertion failure when the session running
BASE_BACKUP is terminated after it executed pg_backup_start and
pg_backup_stop (pg_stop_backup in v14 or before). Also it could cause
a segmentation fault when pg_backup_stop is called after BASE_BACKUP
in the same session is canceled.
This commit fixes the issue by making do_pg_abort_backup reset
that session state.

Multiple non-exclusive backups are able to be run conrrently in different
sessions. But, in the same session, only one non-exclusive backup can be
run at the same moment. If pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14 or before)
is called in the middle of another non-exclusive backup in the same session,
an error is thrown.
However, previously, in logical replication walsender mode, even if that
walsender session had already called pg_backup_start and started
a non-exclusive backup, it could execute BASE_BACKUP command and
start another non-exclusive backup. Which caused subsequent pg_backup_stop
to throw an error because BASE_BACKUP unexpectedly reset the session state
marked by pg_backup_start.
This commit prevents BASE_BACKUP command in the middle of another
non-exclusive backup in the same session.

Detail and hint messages should be full sentences and should end with a
period, but some of the messages newly-introduced in v15 did not follow
that.

We allow users to set the values of not-yet-loaded extension GUCs,
remembering those values in "placeholder" GUC entries. When/if
the extension is loaded later in the session, we need to verify that
the user had permissions to set the GUC. That was done correctly
before commit a0ffa885e, but as of that commit, we'd check the
permissions of the active role when the LOAD happens, not the role
that had set the value. (This'd be a security bug if it had made it
into a released version.)
In principle this is simple enough to fix: we just need to remember
the exact role OID that set each GUC value, and use that not
GetUserID() when verifying permissions. Maintaining that data in
the guc.c data structures is slightly tedious, but fortunately it's
all basically just copy-n-paste of the logic for tracking the
GucSource of each setting, as we were already doing.
Another oversight is that validate_option_array_item() hadn't
been taught to check for granted GUC privileges. This appears
to manifest only in that ALTER ROLE/DATABASE RESET ALL will
fail to reset settings that the user should be allowed to reset.
Patch by myself and Nathan Bossart, per report from Nathan Bossart.
Back-patch to v15 where the faulty code came in.
