Commit 964d01ae9 marked a lot of fields as read_write_ignore
to stay consistent with what was dumped by the manually-maintained
outfuncs.c code. However, it seems that a pretty fair number
of those omissions were either flat-out oversights, or a shortcut
taken because hand-written code seemed like it'd be too much trouble.
Let's upgrade things where it seems to make sense to dump.
To do this, we need to add support to gen_node_support.pl and
outfuncs.c for variable-length arrays of Node pointers. That's
pretty straightforward given the model of the existing code
for arrays of scalars, but I found I needed to tighten the
type-recognizing regexes in gen_node_support.pl. (As they
stood, they mistook "foo **" for "foo *". Make sure they're
all fully anchored to prevent additional problems.)
The main thing left un-done here is that a lot of partitioning-related
structs are still not dumped, because they are bare structs not Nodes.
I'm not sure about the wisdom of that choice ... but changing it would
be fairly invasive, so it probably requires more justification than
just making planner node dumps more complete.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1295668.1658258637@sss.pgh.pa.us
When the ability to print variable-length-array fields was first
added to outfuncs.c, there was no corresponding read capability,
as it was used only for debug dumps of planner-internal Nodes.
Not a lot of thought seems to have been put into the output format:
it's just the space-separated array elements and nothing else.
Later such fields appeared in Plan nodes, and still later we grew
read support so that Plans could be transferred to parallel workers,
but the original text format wasn't rethought. It seems inadequate
to me because (a) no cross-check is possible that we got the right
number of array entries, (b) we can't tell the difference between
a NULL pointer and a zero-length array, and (c) except for
WRITE_INDEX_ARRAY, we'd crash if a non-zero length is specified
when the pointer is NULL, a situation that can arise in some fields
that we currently conveniently avoid printing.
Since we're currently in a campaign to make the Node infrastructure
generally more it-just-works-without-thinking-about-it, now seems
like a good time to improve this.
Let's adopt a format similar to that used for Lists, that is "<>"
for a NULL pointer or "(item item item)" otherwise. Also retool
the code to not have so many copies of the identical logic.
I bumped catversion out of an abundance of caution, although I think
that we don't use any such array fields in Nodes that can get into
the catalogs.

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.

setrefs.c contains logic to discard no-op SubqueryScan nodes, that is,
ones that have no qual to check and copy the input targetlist unchanged.
(Formally it's not very nice to be applying such optimizations so late
in the planner, but there are practical reasons for it; mostly that we
can't unify relids between the subquery and the parent query until we
flatten the rangetable during setrefs.c.) This behavior falsifies our
previous cost estimates, since we would've charged cpu_tuple_cost per
row just to pass data through the node. Most of the time that's little
enough to not matter, but there are cases where this effect visibly
changes the plan compared to what you would've gotten with no
sub-select.
To improve the situation, make the callers of cost_subqueryscan tell
it whether they think the targetlist is trivial. cost_subqueryscan
already has the qual list, so it can check the other half of the
condition easily. It could make its own determination of tlist
triviality too, but doing so would be repetitive (for callers that
may call it several times) or unnecessarily expensive (for callers
that can determine this more cheaply than a general test would do).
This isn't a 100% solution, because createplan.c also does things
that can falsify any earlier estimate of whether the tlist is
trivial. However, it fixes nearly all cases in practice, if results
for the regression tests are anything to go by.
setrefs.c also contains logic to discard no-op Append and MergeAppend
nodes. We did have knowledge of that behavior at costing time, but
somebody failed to update it when a check on parallel-awareness was
added to the setrefs.c logic. Fix that while we're here.
These changes result in two minor changes in query plans shown in
our regression tests. Neither is relevant to the purposes of its
test case AFAICT.
Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

Until now postgres built extension libraries with global visibility, i.e.
exporting all symbols. On the one platform where that behavior is not
natively available, namely windows, we emulate it by analyzing the input files
to the shared library and exporting all the symbols therein.
Not exporting all symbols is actually desirable, as it can improve loading
speed, reduces the likelihood of symbol conflicts and can improve intra
extension library function call performance. It also makes the non-windows
builds more similar to windows builds.
Additionally, with meson implementing the export-all-symbols behavior for
windows, turns out to be more verbose than desirable.
This patch adds support for hiding symbols by default and, to counteract that,
explicit symbol visibility annotation for compilers that support
__attribute__((visibility("default"))) and -fvisibility=hidden. That is
expected to be most, if not all, compilers except msvc (for which we already
support explicit symbol export annotations).
Now that extension library symbols are explicitly exported, we don't need to
export all symbols on windows anymore, hence remove that behavior from
src/tools/msvc. The supporting code can't be removed, as we still need to
export all symbols from the main postgres binary.

Teach this script to handle function pointer fields honestly.
Previously they were just silently ignored, but that's not likely to
be a behavior we can accept indefinitely. This mostly entails fixing
it so that a field declaration spanning multiple lines can be parsed,
because we have a bunch of such fields that're laid out that way.
But that's a good improvement in its own right.
With that change and a minor regex adjustment, the only struct it
fails to parse in the node-defining headers is A_Const, because
of the embedded union. The path of least resistance is to move
that union declaration outside the struct.
Having done those things, we can make it error out if it finds
any within-struct syntax it doesn't understand, which seems like
a pretty important property for robustness.
This commit doesn't change the output files at all; it's just in

Commit 9c727360b neglected the lesson we've learned before:
protect references to backend global variables with #ifndef FRONTEND.
Since there's already a place for static inlines in this file,
move the just-converted functions to that stanza. Undo the
entirely gratuitous de-macroization of RelationGetNumberOfBlocks
(that one may be okay, since it has no global variable references,
but it's also pointless).
Per buildfarm.
The initial version of gen_node_support.pl manually excluded most
utility statement node types from having out/read support, and
also some raw-parse-tree-only node types. That was mostly to keep
the output comparable to the old hand-maintained code. We'd like
to have out/read support for utility statements, for debugging
purposes and so that they can be included in new-style SQL functions;
so it's time to lift that restriction.
Most if not all of the previously-excluded raw-parse-tree-only node
types can appear in expression subtrees of utility statements, so
they have to be handled too.
We don't quite have full read support yet; certain custom_read_write
node types need to have their handwritten read functions implemented
before that will work.
Doing this allows us to drop the previous hack in _outQuery to not
dump the utilityStmt field in most cases, which means we no longer
need manually-maintained out/read functions for Query, so get rid
of those in favor of auto-generating them.
Fix a couple of omissions in gen_node_support.pl that are exposed

There are a few things that we could do a little better within
get_cheapest_group_keys_order():
1. We should be using list_free() rather than pfree() on a List.
2. We should use for_each_from() instead of manually coding a for loop to
skip the first n elements of a List
3. list_truncate(list_copy(...), n) is not a great way to copy the first n
elements of a list. Let's invent list_copy_head() for that. That way we
don't need to copy the entire list just to truncate it directly
afterwards.

variable to DBL_MAX. That allows us to skip special-casing the initial

Backpatch-through: 15, where get_cheapest_group_keys_order was added.
Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering
of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable
qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is
just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS
every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which
seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions,
but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe.
Opt-in seems like a better way.)
For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection.
There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can
always change other call sites as we find problems.

Having different build systems producing different contents of the
NodeTag enum would be catastrophic for extension ABI stability.
But that ordering depends on the order in which gen_node_support.pl
processes its input files. It seems too fragile to let the Makefiles,
MSVC build scripts, and soon meson build scripts all set this order
independently. As a klugy but serviceable solution, put a canonical
copy of the file list into gen_node_support.pl itself, and check that
against the files given on the command line.
Also, while it's fine to add and delete node tags during development,
we must not let the assigned NodeTag values change unexpectedly in
stable branches. Add a cross-check that can be enabled when a branch
is forked off (or later, but that is a time when we're unlikely to
miss doing it). It just checks that the last auto-assigned number
doesn't change, which is simplistic but will catch the most likely
sorts of mistakes.
From time to time we do need to add a node tag in a stable branch.
To support doing that without changing the branch's auto-assigned
tag numbers, invent pg_node_attr(nodetag_number(VALUE)) which can
be used to give such a node a hand-assigned tag above the last
auto-assigned one.

For each of the four node support files, it creates two include files,

file. All the scaffolding of the main file stays in place.
I have tried to mostly make the coverage of the output match what is
currently there. For example, one could now do out/read coverage of
utility statement nodes, but I have manually excluded those for now.
The reason is mainly that it's easier to diff the before and after,
and adding a bunch of stuff like this might require a separate
analysis and review.
Subtyping (TidScan -> Scan) is supported.
For the hard cases, you can just write a manual function and exclude

annotating struct fields to get special behaviors. For example,
pg_node_attr(equal_ignore) has the field ignored in equal functions.

40af10b57 changed things so we make use of a generation memory context for
storing tuples to be sorted by tuplesort.c. That change does not play
nicely with the changes made in 9f03ca915 (back in 2014). That commit
changed things so that index_form_tuple() is called while switched into
the tuplestore's tuplecontext. In order to fetch the tuple from the index,
index_form_tuple() must do various memory allocations which are unrelated
to the storage of the final returned tuple. Although all of these
allocations are pfree'd, the fact that we now use a generation context
means that the memory for these pfree'd allocations won't be used again by
any other allocation due to generation.c's lack of freelists. This could
result in sorts used for building indexes exceeding maintenance_work_mem
by a very large amount.
Here we fix it so we no longer allocate anything apart from the tuple
itself into the generation context by adding a new version of
index_form_tuple named index_form_tuple_context, which can be called to
specify the MemoryContext to allocate the tuple into.

Backpatch-through: 15, where 40af10b57 was added.
We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

50e17ad28 increased the size of ExprEvalStep from 64 bytes up to 88 bytes.
Lots of effort was spent during the development of the current expression
evaluation code to make an instance of this struct as small as possible.
Making this struct larger than needed reduces CPU cache efficiency during
expression evaluation which causes noticeable slowdowns during query
execution.
In order to reduce the size of the struct, here we remove the fn_addr
field. The values from this field can be obtained via fcinfo, just with
some extra pointer dereferencing. The extra indirection does not seem to
cause any noticeable slowdowns.
Various other fields have been moved into the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable
struct. These fields are only used when the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable
pointer has already been dereferenced, so no additional pointer
dereferences occur for these. Here we also make hash_fcinfo_data the last
field in ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable so that we can avoid a further pointer
dereference to get the FunctionCallInfoBaseData. This also saves a call to
palloc().
50e17ad28 was added in 14, but it's too late to adjust the size of the
ExprEvalStep in that version, so here we just backpatch to 15, which is
currently in beta.

pg_attribute_nonnull(...) can be used to generate compiler warnings

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

This reverts commits 5753d4ee32 and fe60b67250 that modified HOT to
ignore BRIN indexes. The commit message for 5753d4ee32 claims that:
When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using
HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There
are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page
range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility
info.
This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to
individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity
info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily
result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread.
This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost
cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and
updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a
major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle.

The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.
Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.
In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting

Commit 1a36bc9db (SQL/JSON query functions) introduced STRING as a
type_func_name_keyword, thereby breaking applications that use
"string" as a table name, column name, function parameter name, etc.
That seems like a pretty bad thing, not least because the SQL spec
says that STRING is an unreserved keyword.
This is easy enough to fix so far as the core grammar is concerned.
However, doing so causes some ECPG test cases to fail, specifically
those that use "string" as a typedef name. It turns out this is
because portions of the ECPG grammar allow type_func_name_keywords
but not unreserved_keywords as typedef names. That's pretty horrid,
and it's mildly astonishing that we've not heard complaints about it
before. We can fix two of those uses trivially, but the ones in the
var_type production are less easy. As a stopgap, hard-code STRING as
an allowed alternative in var_type.

Several places in the planner tried to clamp a double value to fit
in a "long" by doing
(long) Min(x, (double) LONG_MAX);
This is subtly incorrect, because it casts LONG_MAX to double and
potentially back again. If long is 64 bits then the double value
is inexact, and the platform might round it up to LONG_MAX+1
resulting in an overflow and an undesirably negative output.
While it's not hard to rewrite the expression into a safe form,
let's put it into a common function to reduce the risk of someone
doing it wrong in future.
In principle this is a bug fix, but since the problem could only
manifest with group count estimates exceeding 2^63, it seems unlikely
that anyone has actually hit this or will do so anytime soon. We're
fixing it mainly to satisfy fuzzer-type tools. That being the case,
a HEAD-only fix seems sufficient.

copyfuncs.c erroneously treated it as a scalar, while equalfuncs,

it might be cosmetic at the moment because the field is always NULL

Currently, preloaded libraries are expected to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks in _PG_init(). However, it is not unusal
for such requests to depend on MaxBackends, which won't be

that other modules might change. This introduces a new hook where
modules can safely use MaxBackends and GUCs to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks.
Furthermore, this change restricts requests for shared memory and
LWLocks to this hook. Previously, libraries could make requests
until the size of the main shared memory segment was calculated.
Unlike before, we no longer silently ignore requests received at

That commit was not very consistent in how it would determine if we're

It also seems that ssup_datum_signed_cmp is just never used on 32-bit

use that comparison function on such machines. This also allows us to
ifdef out 1 of the 3 new specialization quicksort functions in 32-bit

The test for lz4.h used AC_CHECK_HEADERS, but nothing was using the

similar tests do this correctly.
Instability in the test for pg_walinspect revealed that
pg_get_wal_records_info_till_end_of_wal(x) would try to decode all the
records with a start LSN earlier than the flush LSN, even though that
might include a partial record at the end of the range. In that case,
read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() would return NULL when it tried to read
past the flush LSN, which would be interpreted as an error by the
caller. That caused a test failure only on a BF animal that had been
restarted recently, but could be expected to happen in the wild quite
easily depending on the alignment of various parameters.
Fix by using private data in read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() to signal
end-of-wal to the caller, so that it can be properly distinguished
from a real error.

inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the
target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be
accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some
optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,
notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.
Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and
doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because
all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every
referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to
regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem,
and then drop the failing assertion.
Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for

Commit aa0105141 assigned fixed OIDs to template0 and postgres
in a very ad-hoc way. Notably, instead of teaching Catalog.pm
about these OIDs, the unused_oids script was just hacked to
not show them as unused. That's problematic since, for example,
duplicate_oids wouldn't report any future conflict. Hence,
invent a macro DECLARE_OID_DEFINING_MACRO() that can be used to
define an OID that is known to Catalog.pm and will participate
in duplicate-detection as well as renumbering by renumber_oids.pl.
(We don't anticipate renumbering these particular OIDs, but we
might as well build out all the Catalog.pm infrastructure while
we're here.)
Another issue is that aa0105141 neglected to touch IsPinnedObject,
with the result that it now claimed template0 and postgres are
pinned. The right thing to do there seems to be to teach it that
no database is pinned, since in fact DROP DATABASE doesn't check
for pinned-ness (and at least for these cases, that is an
intentional choice). It's not clear whether this wrong answer
had any visible effect, but perhaps it could have resulted in
erroneous management of dependency entries.
In passing, rename the TemplateDbOid macro to Template1DbOid
to reduce confusion (likely we should have done that way back
when we invented template0, but we didn't), and rename the
OID macros for template0 and postgres to have a similar style.
There are no changes to postgres.bki here, so no need for a

This is needed so that renumber_oids.pl can handle renumbering
shared catalog declarations, which need to provide C macros for
the OIDs of the shared toast table and index. The previous
method of writing a C macro separately was error-prone anyway.

psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name
patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in
'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14,
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0, we
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named
'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin
Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form
db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using
them as arguments to \d.
Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so
is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

ComputeXidHorizons (nee GetOldestXmin) thought that it could identify
walsenders by checking for proc->databaseId == 0. Perhaps that was
safe when the code was written, but it's been wrong at least since
autovacuum was invented. Background processes that aren't connected
to any particular database, such as the autovacuum launcher and
logical replication launcher, look like that too.
This imprecision is harmful because when such a process advertises an
xmin, the result is to hold back dead-tuple cleanup in all databases,
though it'd be sufficient to hold it back in shared catalogs (which
are the only relations such a process can access). Aside from being
generally inefficient, this has recently been seen to cause regression
test failures in the buildfarm, as a consequence of the logical
replication launcher's startup transaction preventing VACUUM from
marking pages of a user table as all-visible.
We only want that global hold-back effect for the case where a
walsender is advertising a hot standby feedback xmin. Therefore,
invent a new PGPROC flag that says that a process' xmin should be
considered globally, and check that instead of using the incorrect
databaseId == 0 test. Currently only a walsender sets that flag,
and only if it is not connected to any particular database. (This is
for bug-compatibility with the undocumented behavior of the existing
code, namely that feedback sent by a client who has connected to a
particular database would not be applied globally. I'm not sure this
is a great definition; however, such a client is capable of issuing
plain SQL commands, and I don't think we want xmins advertised for
such commands to be applied globally. Perhaps this could do with
refinement later.)
While at it, I rewrote the comment in ComputeXidHorizons, and
re-ordered the commented-upon if-tests, to make them match up
for intelligibility's sake.
This is arguably a back-patchable bug fix, but given the lack of
complaints I think it prudent to let it age awhile in HEAD first.

Only 1 of 3 of these changes appear to be handled by pgindent. That change

exact reason for that is not 100% clear to me. It seems related to the
fact that it's a line that contains *only* a single line comment and no

heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return
ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the
requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot.
This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c0, which broke
heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function
needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible. The net
effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or
two after releasing pin on the buffer. Usually no harm would result;
but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently,
we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer
tuple version to chain up to. (It's hard to say whether this has
happened in the field. The bug was actually found thanks to a later
change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.)
The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf,
although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership
is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID.
In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch().
To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional
function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches.
In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data
will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned,
in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and
!keep_buf). This is to defend against any other callers attempting to
access non-pinned buffers. We concluded that making that change in back
branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any.
In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by
9a8ee1dc6.
Per bug #17462 from Daniil Anisimov. Back-patch to v12 where the bug

Enforce __pg_log_level message filtering centrally in logging.c,
instead of relying on the calling macros to do it. This is more
reliable (e.g. it works correctly for direct calls to pg_log_generic)
and it saves a percent or so of total code size because we get rid of
so many duplicate checks of __pg_log_level.
This does mean that argument expressions in a logging macro will be
evaluated even if we end up not printing anything. That seems of
little concern for INFO and higher levels as those messages are printed
by default, and most of our frontend programs don't even offer a way to
turn them off. I left the unlikely() checks in place for DEBUG
messages, though.

All but a few existing callers assume without checking that this
function succeeds. While it probably will, that's a poor excuse for
not checking. Let's make it return void and instead throw an error
if it doesn't find the block reference. Callers that actually need
to handle the no-such-block case must now use the underlying function
XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended.
In addition to being a bit less error-prone, this should also serve
to suppress some Coverity complaints about XLogRecGetBlockRefInfo.
While at it, clean up some inconsistency about use of the
XLogRecHasBlockRef macro: make XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended use
that instead of open-coding the same condition, and avoid calling
XLogRecHasBlockRef twice in relevant code paths. (That is,
calling XLogRecHasBlockRef followed by XLogRecGetBlockTag is now
deprecated: use XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended instead.)

Previously, the output of EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) option showed only the I/O
timing spent reading and writing shared and local buffers. This commit
adds on top of that the I/O timing for temporary buffers in the output
of EXPLAIN (for spilled external sorts, hashes, materialization. etc).
This can be helpful for users in cases where the I/O related to
temporary buffers is the bottleneck.
Like its cousin, this information is available only when track_io_timing
is enabled. Playing the patch, this is showing an extra overhead of up
to 1% even when using gettimeofday() as implementation for interval
timings, which is slightly within the usual range noise still that's
measurable.

Window functions such as row_number() always return a value higher than
the previously returned value for tuples in any given window partition.
Traditionally queries such as;
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *, row_number() over (order by c) rn
FROM t
) t WHERE rn <= 10;
were executed fairly inefficiently. Neither the query planner nor the
executor knew that once rn made it to 11 that nothing further would match
the outer query's WHERE clause. It would blindly continue until all
tuples were exhausted from the subquery.
Here we implement means to make the above execute more efficiently.
This is done by way of adding a pg_proc.prosupport function to various of
the built-in window functions and adding supporting code to allow the
support function to inform the planner if the window function is
monotonically increasing, monotonically decreasing, both or neither. The
planner is then able to make use of that information and possibly allow
the executor to short-circuit execution by way of adding a "run condition"
to the WindowAgg to allow it to determine if some of its execution work
can be skipped.
This "run condition" is not like a normal filter. These run conditions
are only built using quals comparing values to monotonic window functions.
For monotonic increasing functions, quals making use of the btree
operators for <, <= and = can be used (assuming the window function column
is on the left). You can see here that once such a condition becomes false
that a monotonic increasing function could never make it subsequently true
again. For monotonically decreasing functions the >, >= and = btree
operators for the given type can be used for run conditions.
The best-case situation for this is when there is a single WindowAgg node
without a PARTITION BY clause. Here when the run condition becomes false
the WindowAgg node can simply return NULL. No more tuples will ever match
the run condition. It's a little more complex when there is a PARTITION
BY clause. In this case, we cannot return NULL as we must still process
other partitions. To speed this case up we pull tuples from the outer
plan to check if they're from the same partition and simply discard them
if they are. When we find a tuple belonging to another partition we start
processing as normal again until the run condition becomes false or we run
out of tuples to process.
When there are multiple WindowAgg nodes to evaluate then this complicates
the situation. For intermediate WindowAggs we must ensure we always
return all tuples to the calling node. Any filtering done could lead to
incorrect results in WindowAgg nodes above. For all intermediate nodes,
we can still save some work when the run condition becomes false. We've
no need to evaluate the WindowFuncs anymore. Other WindowAgg nodes cannot
reference the value of these and these tuples will not appear in the final
result anyway. The savings here are small in comparison to what can be
saved in the top-level WingowAgg, but still worthwhile.
Intermediate WindowAgg nodes never filter out tuples, but here we change
WindowAgg so that the top-level WindowAgg filters out tuples that don't
match the intermediate WindowAgg node's run condition. Such filters
appear in the "Filter" clause in EXPLAIN for the top-level WindowAgg node.
Here we add prosupport functions to allow the above to work for;
row_number(), rank(), dense_rank(), count(*) and count(expr). It appears
technically possible to do the same for min() and max(), however, it seems
unlikely to be useful enough, so that's not done here.

Modify the subroutines called by RI trigger functions that want to check
if a given referenced value exists in the referenced relation to simply
scan the foreign key constraint's unique index, instead of using SPI to
execute

This saves a lot of work, especially when inserting into or updating a

This rewrite allows to fix a PK row visibility bug caused by a partition
descriptor hack which requires ActiveSnapshot to be set to come up with
the correct set of partitions for the RI query running under REPEATABLE
READ isolation. We now set that snapshot indepedently of the snapshot
to be used by the PK index scan, so the two no longer interfere. The

Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and
shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These
files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a
second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful
statistics.
Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered
objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared
memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory.
The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture.
The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it.
By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a
prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked
statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On
systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite
expensive.
Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not
necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down
replica.

Most of pgstat uses pgstat_<verb>_<subject>() or just <verb>_<subject>(). But
not all (some introduced fairly recently by me). Rename ones that aren't
intentionally following a different scheme (e.g. AtEOXact_*).
The column 'subskiplsn' uses TYPALIGN_DOUBLE (which has 4 bytes alignment
on AIX) for storage. But the C Struct (Form_pg_subscription) has 8-byte
alignment for this field, so retrieving it from storage causes an
unaligned read.
To fix this, we rearranged the 'subskiplsn' column in the catalog so that
it naturally comes at an 8-byte boundary.

pgstat_vacuum_stat() (called by [auto-]vacuum) matches all stats for the
current database with the catalog contents and tries to drop now-superfluous
entries. That's quite expensive. What's worse, it doesn't work on physical
replicas, despite physical replicas collection statistics entries.
This commit introduces infrastructure to create / drop statistics entries
transactionally, together with the underlying catalog objects (functions,
relations, subscriptions). pgstat_xact.c maintains a list of stats entries
created / dropped transactionally in the current transaction. To ensure the
removal of statistics entries is durable dropped statistics entries are
included in commit / abort (and prepare) records, which also ensures that
stats entries are dropped on standbys.
Statistics entries created separately from creating the underlying catalog
object (e.g. when stats were previously lost due to an immediate restart)
are *not* WAL logged. However that can only happen outside of the transaction
creating the catalog object, so it does not lead to "leaked" statistics
entries.
For this to work, functions creating / dropping functions / relations /
subscriptions need to call into pgstat. For subscriptions this was already
done when dropping subscriptions, via pgstat_report_subscription_drop() (now
renamed to pgstat_drop_subscription()).
This commit does not actually drop stats yet, it just provides the
infrastructure. It is however a largely independent piece of infrastructure,
so committing it separately makes sense.

With the introduction of PgStat_Kind PgStat_Single_Reset_Type,
PgStat_Shared_Reset_Target don't make sense anymore. Replace them with
PgStat_Kind.
Instead of having dedicated reset functions for different kinds of stats, use
two generic helper routines (one to reset all stats of a kind, one to reset
one stats entry).
A number of reset functions were named pgstat_reset_*_counter(), despite
affecting multiple counters. The generic helper routines get rid of
pgstat_reset_single_counter(), pgstat_reset_subscription_counter().
Rename pgstat_reset_slru_counter(), pgstat_reset_replslot_counter() to
pgstat_reset_slru(), pgstat_reset_replslot() respectively, and have them only
deal with a single SLRU/slot. Resetting all SLRUs/slots goes through the
generic pgstat_reset_of_kind().
Previously pg_stat_reset_replication_slot() used SearchNamedReplicationSlot()
to check if a slot exists. API wise it seems better to move that to
pgstat_replslot.c.

This seems beneficial on high-core-count machines, and not harmful
on lesser hardware. However, older ARM32 gear doesn't have this
instruction, so restrict the patch to ARM64.

Until now index_concurrently_swap() directly modified pgstat internal
datastructures. That will break with the introduction of shared memory
statistics and seems off architecturally.

Soon the stats collector will be no more, with statistics instead getting
stored in shared memory. There are a lot of references to the stats collector
in comments. This commit replaces most of these references with "cumulative
statistics system", with the remaining ones getting replaced as part of
subsequent commits.

Exclusive-mode backups have been deprecated since 9.6 (when
non-exclusive backups were introduced) due to the issues
they can cause should the system crash while one is running and
generally because non-exclusive provides a much better interface.
Further, exclusive backup mode wasn't really being tested (nor was most
of the related code- like being able to log in just to stop an exclusive
backup and the bits of the state machine related to that) and having to
possibly deal with an exclusive backup and the backup_label file
existing during pg_basebackup, pg_rewind, etc, added other complexities
that we are better off without.
This patch removes the exclusive backup mode, the various special cases
for dealing with it, and greatly simplifies the online backup code and
documentation.

This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers
if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so.
The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter
can also be granted.
Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked
in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl.
Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect.
One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege
--- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to
PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough
for GUCs defined by extensions.

In commit 27e1f1456, create_append_plan() only allowed the subplan
created from a given subpath to be executed asynchronously when it was
an async-capable ForeignPath. To extend coverage, this patch handles
cases when the given subpath includes some other Path types as well that
can be omitted in the plan processing, such as a ProjectionPath directly
atop an async-capable ForeignPath, allowing asynchronous execution in
partitioned-scan/partitioned-join queries with non-Var tlist expressions
and more UNION queries.

These clauses allow the user to specify how data from nested paths are
joined, allowing considerable freedom in shaping the tabular output of
JSON_TABLE.
PLAN DEFAULT allows the user to specify the global strategies when
dealing with sibling or child nested paths. The is often sufficient to
achieve the necessary goal, and is considerably simpler than the full
PLAN clause, which allows the user to specify the strategy to be used
for each named nested path.

* Move the execution pruning initialization steps that are common
between both ExecInitAppend() and ExecInitMergeAppend() into a new
function ExecInitPartitionPruning() defined in execPartition.c.
Those steps include creation of a PartitionPruneState to be used for
all instances of pruning and determining the minimal set of child
subplans that need to be initialized by performing initial pruning if
needed, and finally adjusting the subplan_map arrays in the
PartitionPruneState to reflect the new set of subplans remaining
after initial pruning if it was indeed performed.
ExecCreatePartitionPruneState() is no longer exported out of
execPartition.c and has been renamed to CreatePartitionPruneState()
as a local sub-routine of ExecInitPartitionPruning().
* Likewise, ExecFindInitialMatchingSubPlans() that was in charge of
performing initial pruning no longer needs to be exported. In fact,
since it would now have the same body as the more generally named
ExecFindMatchingSubPlans(), except differing in the value of
initial_prune passed to the common subroutine
find_matching_subplans_recurse(), it seems better to remove it and add
an initial_prune argument to ExecFindMatchingSubPlans().
* Add an ExprContext field to PartitionPruneContext to remove the
implicit assumption in the runtime pruning code that the ExprContext to
use to compute pruning expressions that need one can always rely on the
PlanState providing it. A future patch will allow runtime pruning (at
least the initial pruning steps) to be performed without the
corresponding PlanState yet having been created, so this will help.
