Introduce new postmaster_child_launch() function that deals with the
differences in EXEC_BACKEND mode.
Refactor the mechanism of passing information from the parent to child
process. Instead of using different command-line arguments when
launching the child process in EXEC_BACKEND mode, pass a
variable-length blob of startup data along with all the global
variables. The contents of that blob depend on the kind of child
process being launched. In !EXEC_BACKEND mode, we use the same blob,
but it's simply inherited from the parent to child process.

This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to
return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with
plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are
based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE
actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the
source relation may also be returned.
As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be
used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries
and COPY commands.
Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which
returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action
executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used
anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and
subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE

DDL code uses tuple descriptors to pass around pg_attribute values
during table and index creation. But tuple descriptors don't include
the variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute, so they have to
be handled separately. Right now, the attoptions field is handled in
a one-off way with a separate argument passed to
InsertPgAttributeTuples(). The other affected fields of pg_attribute
are right now not needed at relation creation time.
The goal of this patch is to generalize this to allow handling
additional variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute in a
similar manner. For that, create a new struct
FormExtraData_pg_attribute, which is to be passed around in parallel
to the tuple descriptor and optionally supplies the additional
columns. Right now, this struct only contains one field for
attoptions, so no functionality is actually changed by this.

Given a subplan in a MERGE query, EXPLAIN would sometimes fail to
properly display expressions involving Params referencing variables in
other parts of the plan tree.
This would affect subplans outside the topmost join plan node, for
which expansion of Params would go via the top-level ModifyTable plan
node. The problem was that "inner_tlist" for the ModifyTable node's
deparse_namespace was set to the join node's targetlist, but
"inner_plan" was set to the ModifyTable node itself, rather than the
join node, leading to incorrect results when descending to the

This introduces a new function equalRowTypes() that is effectively a
subset of equalTupleDescs() but only compares the number of attributes
and attribute name, type, typmod, and collation. This is enough for
most existing uses of equalTupleDescs(), which are changed to use the
new function. The only remaining callers of equalTupleDescs() are
those that really want to check the full tuple descriptor as such,
without concern about record or row or record type semantics.
The existing function hashTupleDesc() is renamed to hashRowType(),
because it now corresponds more to equalRowTypes().
The purpose of this change is to be clearer about the semantics of the
equality asked for by each caller. (At least one caller had a comment
that questioned whether equalTupleDescs() was too restrictive.) For
example, 4f622503d6 removed attstattarget from the tuple descriptor
structure. It was not fully clear at the time how this should affect
equalTupleDescs(). Now the answer is clear: By their own definitions,
equalRowTypes() does not care, and equalTupleDescs() just compares
whatever is in the tuple descriptor but does not care why it is in
there.

There are currently no tests for the low-level backup method where
pg_backup_start() and pg_backup_stop() are involved while taking a
file-system backup. The tests introduced in this commit rely on a
background psql process to make sure that the backup is taken while the
session doing the SQL start and stop calls remains alive.
Two cases are checked here with the backup taken:
- Recovery without a backup_label, leading to a corrupted state.
- Recovery with a backup_label, with a consistent state reached.
Both cases cross-check some patterns in the logs generated when running
recovery.
Compared to the first attempt in 99b4a63bef, this includes a couple of
fixes making the CI stable (5 runs succeeded here):
- Add the file to the list of tests in meson.build.
- Race condition with the first WAL segment that we expect in the
primary's archives, by adding a poll on pg_stat_archiver. The second
segment with the checkpoint record is archived thanks to pg_backup_stop
waiting for it.
- Fix failure of test where the backup_label does not exist. The
cluster inherits the configuration of the first node; it was attempting
to store segments in the first node's archives, triggering failures with
copy on Windows.
- Fix failure of test on Windows because of incorrect parsing of the
backup_file in the success case. The data of the backup_label file is
retrieved from the output pg_backup_stop() from a BackgroundPsql written
directly to the backup's data folder. This would include CRLFs (\r\n),
causing the startup process to fail at the beginning of recovery when
parsing the backup_label because only LFs (\n) are allowed.

Backpatch-through: 16, where 1349d2790 was added
Commit a3c7a993d fixed some cases involving target columns that are
arrays or composites by applying transformAssignedExpr to the VALUES
entries, and then stripping off any assignment ArrayRefs or
FieldStores that the transformation added. But I forgot about domains
over arrays or composites :-(. Such cases would either fail with
surprising complaints about mismatched datatypes, or insert unexpected
coercions that could lead to odd results. To fix, extend the
stripping logic to get rid of CoerceToDomain if it's atop an ArrayRef
or FieldStore.
While poking at this, I realized that there's a poorly documented and
not-at-all-tested behavior nearby: we coerce each VALUES column to
the domain type separately, and rely on the rewriter to merge those
operations so that the domain constraints are checked only once.
If that merging did not happen, it's entirely possible that we'd get
unexpected domain constraint failures due to checking a
partially-updated container value. There's no bug there, but while
we're here let's improve the commentary about it and add some test
cases that explicitly exercise that behavior.

The parallel query infrastructure copies the leader backend's active

bespoken code to pass the snapshot from leader to the worker. That was
redundant, so remove it.
The removed code was analogous to the snapshot serialization in
table_parallelscan_initialize(), but that was the wrong role model. A
parallel bitmap heap scan is more like an independent non-parallel
bitmap heap scan in each parallel worker as far as the table AM is
concerned, because the coordination is done in nodeBitmapHeapscan.c,
and the table AM doesn't need to know anything about it.
This relies on the assumption that es_snapshot ==
GetActiveSnapshot(). That's not a new assumption, things would get
weird if you used the QueryDesc's snapshot for visibility checks in
the scans, but the active snapshot for evaluating quals, for
example. This could use some refactoring and cleanup, but for now,

We don't determine the position at which a process waiting for a lock
should insert itself into the wait queue until we reach ProcSleep(),
and we may at that point discover that we must insert ourselves ahead
of everyone who wants a conflicting lock, in which case we obtain the

in such cases, erroneously claiming that the lock couldn't be obtained
immediately. Fix that by trying ProcSleep even in the no-wait case.
No back-patch for now, because I'm treating this as an improvement to
the existing no-wait feature. It could instead be argued that it's a
bug fix, on the theory that there should never be any case whatsoever

In order to fix that, this commit implements a new function
GetStrictOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). This function computes the xid
horizon, which would be guaranteed to be newer or equal to any xid horizon
computed before.
We have to do the following to achieve this.
1. Ignore processes xmin's, because they consider connection to other databases
that were ignored before.
2. Ignore KnownAssignedXids, because they are not database-aware. At the same
time, the primary could compute its horizons database-aware.
3. Ignore walsender xmin, because it could go backward if some replication
connections don't use replication slots.
As a result, we're using only currently running xids to compute the horizon.
Surely these would significantly sacrifice accuracy. But we have to do so to
avoid reporting false errors.

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.
