Since database connections can be used with WAL senders in 9.4, it is
possible to use physical replication. This commit fixes a crash when
starting physical replication with a WAL sender using a database
connection, caused by the refactoring done in 850196b.
There have been discussions about forbidding the use of physical
replication in a database connection, but this is left for later,
taking care only of the crash new to 13.
While on it, add a test to check for a failure when attempting logical
replication if the WAL sender does not have a database connection. This
part is extracted from a larger patch by Kyotaro Horiguchi.

Commit 24d85952 made a change that indirectly caused a performance
regression by triggering a change in the way GCC optimizes memcpy() on
some platforms.
The behavior seemed to contradict a GCC document, so I filed a report:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=95556
This patch implements a narrow workaround which eliminates the
regression I observed. The workaround is benign enough that it seems
unlikely to cause a different regression on another platform.

ineq_histogram_selectivity() can be invoked in situations where the
ordering we care about is not that of the column's histogram. We could
be considering some other collation, or even more drastically, the
query operator might not agree at all with what was used to construct
the histogram. (We'll get here for anything using scalarineqsel-based
estimators, so that's quite likely to happen for extension operators.)
Up to now we just ignored this issue and assumed we were dealing with
an operator/collation whose sort order exactly matches the histogram,
possibly resulting in junk estimates if the binary search gets confused.
It's past time to improve that, since the use of nondefault collations
is increasing. What we can do is verify that the given operator and
collation match what's recorded in pg_statistic, and use the existing
code only if so. When they don't match, instead execute the operator
against each histogram entry, and take the fraction of successes as our
selectivity estimate. This gives an estimate that is probably good to
about 1/histogram_size, with no assumptions about ordering. (The quality
of the estimate is likely to degrade near the ends of the value range,
since the two orderings probably don't agree on what is an extremal value;
but this is surely going to be more reliable than what we did before.)
At some point we might further improve matters by storing more than one
histogram calculated according to different orderings. But this code
would still be good fallback logic when no matches exist, so that is
not an argument for not doing this.
While here, also improve get_variable_range() to deal more honestly
with non-default collations.
This isn't back-patchable, because it requires adding another argument
to ineq_histogram_selectivity, and because it might have significant
impact on the estimation results for extension operators relying on
scalarineqsel --- mostly for the better, one hopes, but in any case
destabilizing plan choices in back branches is best avoided.
Per investigation of a report from James Lucas.

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.
Back-patch to v10. The bug is far older, but to change this pre-v10
we'd need to ensure that the logic behaves sanely with float timestamps,
which is possibly nontrivial due to roundoff considerations.
Doesn't really seem worth troubling with.

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
seem important enough to adapt the patch further back.

Previously UpdateSpillStats() called elog(DEBUG2) while holding
the spinlock even though the local variables that the elog() accesses
don't need to be protected by the lock. Since spinlocks are intended
for very short-term locks, they should not be used when calling
elog(DEBUG2). So this commit moves that elog() out of spinlock period.

A relation that has no storage initializes rd_tableam to NULL, which
caused those two functions to crash because of a pointer dereference.
Note that in 11 and older versions, this has always failed with a
confusing error "could not open file".
These two functions are used by the Postgres ODBC driver, which requires
them only when connecting to a backend strictly older than 8.1. When
connected to 8.2 or a newer version, the driver uses a RETURNING clause
instead whose support has been added in 8.2, so it should be possible to
just remove both functions in the future. This is left as an issue to
address later.
While on it, add more regression tests for those functions as we never
really had coverage for them, and for aggregates of TIDs.

Commit 1f39bce021 added disk-based hash aggregation, which may spill
incoming tuples to disk. It however did not request projection to make
the tuples as narrow as possible, which may mean having to spill much
more data than necessary (increasing I/O, pushing other stuff from page
cache, etc.).
This adds CP_SMALL_TLIST in places that may use hash aggregation - we do
that only for AGG_HASHED. It's unnecessary for AGG_SORTED, because that
either uses explicit Sort (which already does projection) or pre-sorted
input (which does not need spilling to disk).

This should be plain old ColId. Making it so makes the grammar less
complicated, and makes the compiled tables a kilobyte or so smaller
(likely because they don't have to deal with a keyword classification
that's not used anyplace else).
Commit 624686abcf added an assertion that verified that _bt_search
successfully relocated the leaf page undergoing deletion. Page deletion
cannot deal with the case where the descent stack is to the right of the
page, so this seemed critical (deletion can only handle the case where
the descent stack is to the left of the leaf/target page). However, the
assertion went a bit too far.
Since only a buffer pin is held on the leaf page throughout the call to
_bt_search, nothing guarantees that it can't have split during this
small window. And if does actually split, _bt_search may end up
"relocating" a page to the right of the original target leaf page. This
scenario seems extremely unlikely, but it must still be considered.
Remove the assertion, and document how we cope in this scenario.

The previous coding zeroed out offsetof(ReplicationStateCtl, states)
more bytes than it was entitled to, as a consequence of starting the
zeroing from the wrong pointer (or, if you prefer, using the wrong
calculation of how much to zero).
It's unsurprising that this has not caused any reported problems,
since it can be expected that the newly-allocated block is at the end
of what we've used in shared memory, and we always make the shmem
block substantially bigger than minimally necessary. Nonetheless,
this is wrong and it could bite us someday; plus it's a dangerous
model for somebody to copy.
