This partially reverts 096bbf7 and 9d2d457, undoing the libpq changes as
it could cause breakages in distributions that share one single libpq
version across multiple major versions of Postgres for extensions and
applications linking to that.
Note that the backend is unchanged here, and it still disables SSL
compression while simplifying the underlying catalogs that tracked if
compression was enabled or not for a SSL connection.

Per buildfarm member crake, any servers including a postgres_fdw server
with this option set would fail to do a pg_upgrade properly as the
option got hidden in f9264d1 by becoming a debug option, making the
restore of the FDW server fail.
This changes back the option in libpq to be visible, but still inactive
to fix this upgrade issue.

PostgreSQL disabled compression as of e3bdb2d and the documentation
recommends against using it since. Additionally, SSL compression has
been disabled in OpenSSL since version 1.1.0, and was disabled in many
distributions long before that. The most recent TLS version, TLSv1.3,
disallows compression at the protocol level.
This commit removes the feature itself, removing support for the libpq
parameter sslcompression (parameter still listed for compatibility
reasons with existing connection strings, just ignored), and removes
the equivalent field in pg_stat_ssl and de facto PgBackendSSLStatus.
Note that, on top of removing the ability to activate compression by
configuration, compression is actively disabled in both frontend and
backend to avoid overrides from local configurations.
A TAP test is added for deprecated SSL parameters to check after
backwards compatibility.

Commit 0aa8a01d04 extends the output plugin API to allow decoding of
prepared xacts and allowed the user to enable/disable the two-phase option
via pg_logical_slot_get_changes(). This can lead to a problem such that
the first time when it gets changes via pg_logical_slot_get_changes()
without two_phase option enabled it will not get the prepared even though
prepare is after consistent snapshot. Now next time during getting changes,
if the two_phase option is enabled it can skip prepare because by that
time start decoding point has been moved. So the user will only get commit
prepared.

was decoded again if there is a restart after decoding it. It was done
that way because we can't distinguish between the cases where we have not
decoded the prepare because it was prior to consistent snapshot or we have
decoded it earlier but restarted. To distinguish between these two cases,
we have introduced an initial_consistent_point at the slot level which is
an LSN at which we found a consistent point at the time of slot creation.
This is also the point where we have exported a snapshot for the initial

Otherwise we risk "leaking" deleted pages by making them non-recyclable
indefinitely. Commit 6655a729 did the same thing for deleted pages in
GiST indexes. That work was used as a starting point here.
Stop storing an XID indicating the oldest bpto.xact across all deleted
though unrecycled pages in nbtree metapages. There is no longer any
reason to care about that condition/the oldest XID. It only ever made
sense when wraparound was something _bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup() had to
consider.
The btm_oldest_btpo_xact metapage field has been repurposed and renamed.
It is now btm_last_cleanup_num_delpages, which is used to remember how
many non-recycled deleted pages remain from the last VACUUM (in practice
its value is usually the precise number of pages that were _newly
deleted_ during the specific VACUUM operation that last set the field).
The general idea behind storing btm_last_cleanup_num_delpages is to use
it to give _some_ consideration to non-recycled deleted pages inside
_bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup() -- though never too much. We only really
need to avoid leaving a truly excessive number of deleted pages in an
unrecycled state forever. We only do this to cover certain narrow cases
where no other factor makes VACUUM do a full scan, and yet the index
continues to grow (and so actually misses out on recycling existing
deleted pages).
These metapage changes result in a clear user-visible benefit: We no
longer trigger full index scans during VACUUM operations solely due to
the presence of only 1 or 2 known deleted (though unrecycled) blocks
from a very large index. All that matters now is keeping the costs and
benefits in balance over time.
Fix an issue that has been around since commit 857f9c36, which added the
"skip full scan of index" mechanism (i.e. the _bt_vacuum_needs_cleanup()
logic). The accuracy of btm_last_cleanup_num_heap_tuples accidentally
hinged upon _when_ the source value gets stored. We now always store
btm_last_cleanup_num_heap_tuples in btvacuumcleanup(). This fixes the
issue because IndexVacuumInfo.num_heap_tuples (the source field) is
expected to accurately indicate the state of the table _after_ the
VACUUM completes inside btvacuumcleanup().
A backpatchable fix cannot easily be extracted from this commit. A
targeted fix for the issue will follow in a later commit, though that
won't happen today.
I (pgeoghegan) have chosen to remove any mention of deleted pages in the
documentation of the vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor GUC/param, since
the presence of deleted (though unrecycled) pages is no longer of much
concern to users. The vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor description in
the docs now seems rather unclear in any case, and it should probably be
rewritten in the near future. Perhaps some passing mention of page
deletion will be added back at the same time.

Brown-paper-bag bug in 08c0d6ad6: I missed one place that needed
to guard against RAINBOW arc colors. Remarkably, nothing noticed
the invalid array access except buildfarm member thorntail.
Thanks to Noah Misch for assistance with tracking this down.
Some regular expression constructs, most notably the "." match-anything
metacharacter, produce a sheaf of parallel NFA arcs covering all
possible colors (that is, character equivalence classes). We can make
a noticeable improvement in the space and time needed to process large
regexes by replacing such cases with a single arc bearing the special
color code "RAINBOW". This requires only minor additional complication
in places such as pull() and push().
Callers of pg_reg_getoutarcs() must now be prepared for the possibility
of seeing a RAINBOW arc. For the one known user, contrib/pg_trgm,
that's a net benefit since it cuts the number of arcs to be dealt with,
and the handling isn't any different than for other colors that contain
too many characters to be dealt with individually.
This is part of a patch series that in total reduces the regex engine's
runtime by about a factor of four on a large corpus of real-world regexes.

A cross-partition update on a partitioned table is implemented as a
delete followed by an insert. With foreign partitions, this was however
causing issues, because the FDW and core may disagree on when to enable
batching. postgres_fdw was only allowing batching for plain inserts
(CMD_INSERT) while core was trying to batch the insert component of the
cross-partition update. Fix by restricting core to apply batching only
to plain CMD_INSERT queries.

With its current design, a careless use of pg_cryptohash_final() could

checks, and implements such defenses.
The internals of SCRAM for HMAC could be tightened a bit more, but as
everything is based on SCRAM_KEY_LEN with uses particular to this code
there is no need to complicate its interface more than necessary, and
this comes back to the refactoring of HMAC in core. Except that, this
minimizes the uses of the existing DIGEST_LENGTH variables, relying
instead on sizeof() for the result sizes. In ossp-uuid, this also makes
the code more defensive, as it already relied on dce_uuid_t being at

If a cross-partition UPDATE violates a constraint on the target partition,
and the columns in the new partition are in different physical order than
in the parent, the error message can reveal columns that the user does not
have SELECT permission on. A similar bug was fixed earlier in commit
804b6b6db4.
The cause of the bug is that the callers of the
ExecBuildSlotValueDescription() function got confused when constructing
the list of modified columns. If the tuple was routed from a parent, we
converted the tuple to the parent's format, but the list of modified
columns was grabbed directly from the child's RTE entry.
ExecUpdateLockMode() had a similar issue. That lead to confusion on which
columns are key columns, leading to wrong tuple lock being taken on tables
referenced by foreign keys, when a row is updated with INSERT ON CONFLICT
UPDATE. A new isolation test is added for that corner case.
With this patch, the ri_RangeTableIndex field is no longer set for
partitions that don't have an entry in the range table. Previously, it was
set to the RTE entry of the parent relation, but that was confusing.
NOTE: This modifies the ResultRelInfo struct, replacing the
ri_PartitionRoot field with ri_RootResultRelInfo. That's a bit risky to
backpatch, because it breaks any extensions accessing the field. The
change that ri_RangeTableIndex is not set for partitions could potentially
break extensions, too. The ResultRelInfos are visible to FDWs at least,
and this patch required small changes to postgres_fdw. Nevertheless, this
seem like the least bad option. I don't think these fields widely used in
extensions; I don't think there are FDWs out there that uses the FDW
"direct update" API, other than postgres_fdw. If there is, you will get a
compilation error, so hopefully it is caught quickly.

To fix, just switch into the executor's context so that anything we

This commit stabilizes those tests.
The foreign server connections established by postgres_fdw behaves

If it's not enabled, those connections are cached. On the other hand,
if it's enabled, when the connections are established outside transaction
block, they are not cached (i.e., they are immediately closed at the end of
query that established them). So the subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections()
cannot list those connections and postgres_fdw_disconnect() cannot close them

When the connections are established inside transaction block, they are
cached whether CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS was enabled or not. But if it's enabled,
they are immediately marked as invalid, otherwise not. This causes the
subsequent postgres_fdw_get_connections() to return different result in

Previously, pull_varnos() took the relids of a PlaceHolderVar as being
equal to the relids in its contents, but that fails to account for the
possibility that we have to postpone evaluation of the PHV due to outer
joins. This could result in a malformed plan. The known cases end up
triggering the "failed to assign all NestLoopParams to plan nodes"
sanity check in createplan.c, but other symptoms may be possible.
The right value to use is the join level we actually intend to evaluate
the PHV at. We can get that from the ph_eval_at field of the associated
PlaceHolderInfo. However, there are some places that call pull_varnos()
before the PlaceHolderInfos have been created; in that case, fall back
to the conservative assumption that the PHV will be evaluated at its
syntactic level. (In principle this might result in missing some legal
optimization, but I'm not aware of any cases where it's an issue in
practice.) Things are also a bit ticklish for calls occurring during
deconstruct_jointree(), but AFAICS the ph_eval_at fields should have
reached their final values by the time we need them.
The main problem in making this work is that pull_varnos() has no
way to get at the PlaceHolderInfos. We can fix that easily, if a
bit tediously, in HEAD by passing it the planner "root" pointer.
In the back branches that'd cause an unacceptable API/ABI break for
extensions, so leave the existing entry points alone and add new ones
with the additional parameter. (If an old entry point is called and
encounters a PHV, it'll fall back to using the syntactic level,
again possibly missing some valid optimization.)
Back-patch to v12. The computation is surely also wrong before that,
but it appears that we cannot reach a bad plan thanks to join order
restrictions imposed on the subquery that the PlaceHolderVar came from.
The error only became reachable when commit 4be058fe9 allowed trivial
subqueries to be collapsed out completely, eliminating their join order
restrictions.

high latency for each round-trip to the foreign server.
It was possible to implement something similar in the regular FDW API,
but it was inconvenient and there were issues with reporting the number
of actually inserted rows etc. This extends the FDW API with two new
functions:
* GetForeignModifyBatchSize - allows the FDW picking optimal batch size
* ExecForeignBatchInsert - inserts a batch of rows at once
Currently, only INSERT queries support batching. Support for DELETE and
UPDATE may be added in the future.
This also implements batching for postgres_fdw. The batch size may be

(Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.)
Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in order
to not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension is
updated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similar
to how it's done in other extensions as well.

Previously since the connection cache entry did not have the server OID,
postgres_fdw had to get the server OID at first from user mapping before

Add an executor aminsert() hint mechanism that informs index AMs that
the incoming index tuple (the tuple that accompanies the hint) is not
being inserted by execution of an SQL statement that logically modifies
any of the index's key columns.
The hint is received by indexes when an UPDATE takes place that does not
apply an optimization like heapam's HOT (though only for indexes where
all key columns are logically unchanged). Any index tuple that receives
the hint on insert is expected to be a duplicate of at least one
existing older version that is needed for the same logical row. Related
versions will typically be stored on the same index page, at least
within index AMs that apply the hint.
Recognizing the difference between MVCC version churn duplicates and
true logical row duplicates at the index AM level can help with cleanup
of garbage index tuples. Cleanup can intelligently target tuples that
are likely to be garbage, without wasting too many cycles on less
promising tuples/pages (index pages with little or no version churn).
This is infrastructure for an upcoming commit that will teach nbtree to
perform bottom-up index deletion. No index AM actually applies the hint
just yet.

Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle
pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid
of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal
of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to
invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious)
historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away
from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of
the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago.
The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core
parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle
assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That
fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql
assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows
pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting
behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14.
There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a
pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing
"SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text.
Also, there seem to be some small speed gains.

Since at least 2001 we've used putenv() and avoided setenv(), on the
grounds that the latter was unportable and not in POSIX. However,
POSIX added it that same year, and by now the situation has reversed:
setenv() is probably more portable than putenv(), since POSIX now
treats the latter as not being a core function. And setenv() has
cleaner semantics too. So, let's reverse that old policy.
This commit adds a simple src/port/ implementation of setenv() for
any stragglers (we have one in the buildfarm, but I'd not be surprised
if that code is never used in the field). More importantly, extend
win32env.c to also support setenv(). Then, replace usages of putenv()
with setenv(), and get rid of some ad-hoc implementations of setenv()
wannabees.
Also, adjust our src/port/ implementation of unsetenv() to follow the
POSIX spec that it returns an error indicator, rather than returning
void as per the ancient BSD convention. I don't feel a need to make
all the call sites check for errors, but the portability stub ought
to match real-world practice.

This adds six methods to the output plugin API, adding support for
streaming changes of two-phase transactions at prepare time.
* begin_prepare
* filter_prepare
* prepare
* commit_prepared
* rollback_prepared
* stream_prepare
Most of this is a simple extension of the existing methods, with the
semantic difference that the transaction is not yet committed and maybe
aborted later.
Until now two-phase transactions were translated into regular transactions
on the subscriber, and the GID was not forwarded to it. None of the
two-phase commands were communicated to the subscriber.
This patch provides the infrastructure for logical decoding plugins to be
informed of two-phase commands Like PREPARE TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED
and ROLLBACK PREPARED commands with the corresponding GID.
This also extends the 'test_decoding' plugin, implementing these new
methods.
This commit simply adds these new APIs and the upcoming patch to "allow
the decoding at prepare time in ReorderBuffer" will use these APIs.

If a database shutdown (smart or fast) is commanded between the time
some process decides to request a new background worker and the time
that the postmaster can launch that worker, then nothing happens
because the postmaster won't launch any bgworkers once it's exited
PM_RUN state. This is fine ... unless the requesting process is
waiting for that worker to finish (or even for it to start); in that
case the requestor is stuck, and only manual intervention will get us
to the point of being able to shut down.
To fix, cancel pending requests for workers when the postmaster sends
shutdown (SIGTERM) signals, and similarly cancel any new requests that
arrive after that point. (We can optimize things slightly by only
doing the cancellation for workers that have waiters.) To fit within
the existing bgworker APIs, the "cancel" is made to look like the
worker was started and immediately stopped, causing deregistration of
the bgworker entry. Waiting processes would have to deal with
premature worker exit anyway, so this should introduce no bugs that
weren't there before. We do have a side effect that registration
records for restartable bgworkers might disappear when theoretically
they should have remained in place; but since we're shutting down,
that shouldn't matter.
Back-patch to v10. There might be value in putting this into 9.6
as well, but the management of bgworkers is a bit different there
(notably see 8ff518699) and I'm not convinced it's worth the effort
to validate the patch for that branch.

Bad things happen if the DBA issues "pg_ctl stop -m fast" before
autoprewarm finishes loading its list of blocks to prewarm.
The current worker process successfully terminates early, but
(if this wasn't the last database with blocks to prewarm) the
leader process will just try to launch another worker for the
next database. Since the postmaster is now in PM_WAIT_BACKENDS
state, it ignores the launch request, and the leader just sits
until it's killed manually.
This is mostly the fault of our half-baked design for launching
background workers, but a proper fix for that is likely to be
too invasive to be back-patchable. To ameliorate the situation,
fix apw_load_buffers() to check whether SIGTERM has arrived
just before trying to launch another worker. That leaves us with
only a very narrow window in each worker launch where SIGTERM
could occur between the launch request and successful worker start.
Another issue is that if the leader process does manage to exit,
it unconditionally rewrites autoprewarm.blocks with only the
blocks currently in shared buffers, thus forgetting any blocks
that we hadn't reached yet while prewarming. This seems quite
unhelpful, since the next database start will then not have the
expected prewarming benefit. Fix it to not modify the file if
we shut down before the initial load attempt is complete.
Per bug #16785 from John Thompson. Back-patch to v11 where

Invent a new flag bit HASH_STRINGS to specify C-string hashing, which
was formerly the default; and add assertions insisting that exactly
one of the bits HASH_STRINGS, HASH_BLOBS, and HASH_FUNCTION be set.
This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight
fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS).
Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be
more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch
accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys.
(Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or
more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should
be problematic.)
Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and
remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those
defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers
omitted HASH_ELEM anyway.
Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from
those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary,
and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that
some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few
cycles by standardizing on "not".
Also improve the documentation for hash_create().
In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing
the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's
a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for
neatness.

This commit heavily reorganizes the MD5 implementations that exist in
the tree in various aspects.
First, MD5 is added to the list of options available in cryptohash.c and
cryptohash_openssl.c. This means that if building with OpenSSL, EVP is
used for MD5 instead of the fallback implementation that Postgres had
for ages. With the recent refactoring work for cryptohash functions,
this change is straight-forward. If not building with OpenSSL, a
fallback implementation internal to src/common/ is used.
Second, this reduces the number of MD5 implementations present in the
tree from two to one, by moving the KAME implementation from pgcrypto to
src/common/, and by removing the implementation that existed in
src/common/. KAME was already structured with an init/update/final set
of routines by pgcrypto (see original pgcrypto/md5.h) for compatibility
with OpenSSL, so moving it to src/common/ has proved to be a
straight-forward move, requiring no actual manipulation of the internals
of each routine. Some benchmarking has not shown any performance gap
between both implementations.
Similarly to the fallback implementation used for SHA2, the fallback
implementation of MD5 is moved to src/common/md5.c with an internal
header called md5_int.h for the init, update and final routines. This
gets then consumed by cryptohash.c.
The original routines used for MD5-hashed passwords are moved to a
separate file called md5_common.c, also in src/common/, aimed at being
shared between all MD5 implementations as utility routines to keep
compatibility with any code relying on them.
Like the SHA2 changes, this commit had its round of tests on both Linux
and Windows, across all versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD, with and
even without OpenSSL.

This patch generalizes the subscripting infrastructure so that any
data type can be subscripted, if it provides a handler function to
define what that means. Traditional variable-length (varlena) arrays
all use array_subscript_handler(), while the existing fixed-length
types that support subscripting use raw_array_subscript_handler().
It's expected that other types that want to use subscripting notation
will define their own handlers. (This patch provides no such new
features, though; it only lays the foundation for them.)
To do this, move the parser's semantic processing of subscripts
(including coercion to whatever data type is required) into a
method callback supplied by the handler. On the execution side,
replace the ExecEvalSubscriptingRef* layer of functions with direct
calls to callback-supplied execution routines. (Thus, essentially
no new run-time overhead should be caused by this patch. Indeed,
there is room to remove some overhead by supplying specialized
execution routines. This patch does a little bit in that line,
but more could be done.)
Additional work is required here and there to remove formerly
hard-wired assumptions about the result type, collation, etc
of a SubscriptingRef expression node; and to remove assumptions
that the subscript values must be integers.
One useful side-effect of this is that we now have a less squishy
mechanism for identifying whether a data type is a "true" array:
instead of wiring in weird rules about typlen, we can look to see
if pg_type.typsubscript == F_ARRAY_SUBSCRIPT_HANDLER. For this
to be bulletproof, we have to forbid user-defined types from using
that handler directly; but there seems no good reason for them to
do so.
This patch also removes assumptions that the number of subscripts
is limited to MAXDIM (6), or indeed has any hard-wired limit.
That limit still applies to types handled by array_subscript_handler
or raw_array_subscript_handler, but to discourage other dependencies
on this constant, I've moved it from c.h to utils/array.h.

The following routines are called within pgcrypto when handling digests
but there were no checks for failures:

- EVP_MD_CTX_block_size (can fail with -1 as of 3.0.0)
- EVP_DigestInit_ex

A set of elog(ERROR) is added by this commit to detect such failures,

internal to OpenSSL.
Note that it would be possible to use ERR_reason_error_string() to get
more context about such errors, but these refer mainly to the internals
of OpenSSL, so it is not really obvious how useful that would be. This
is left out for simplicity.
Per report from Coverity. Thanks to Tom Lane for the discussion.
Backpatch-through: 9.5
Two new routines to allocate a hash context and to free it are created,
as these become necessary for the goal behind this refactoring: switch
the all cryptohash implementations for OpenSSL to use EVP (for FIPS and
also because upstream does not recommend the use of low-level cryptohash
functions for 20 years). Note that OpenSSL hides the internals of
cryptohash contexts since 1.1.0, so it is necessary to leave the
allocation to OpenSSL itself, explaining the need for those two new
routines. This part is going to require more work to properly track
hash contexts with resource owners, but this not introduced here.
Still, this refactoring makes the move possible.
This reduces the number of routines for all SHA2 implementations from
twelve (SHA{224,256,386,512} with init, update and final calls) to five
(create, free, init, update and final calls) by incorporating the hash
type directly into the hash context data.
The new cryptohash routines are moved to a new file, called cryptohash.c
for the fallback implementations, with SHA2 specifics becoming a part
internal to src/common/. OpenSSL specifics are part of
cryptohash_openssl.c. This infrastructure is usable for more hash
types, like MD5 or HMAC.
Any code paths using the internal SHA2 routines are adapted to report
correctly errors, which are most of the changes of this commit. The
zones mostly impacted are checksum manifests, libpq and SCRAM.
Note that e21cbb4 was a first attempt to switch SHA2 to EVP, but it
lacked the refactoring needed for libpq, as done here.
This patch has been tested on Linux and Windows, with and without
OpenSSL, and down to 1.0.1, the oldest version supported on HEAD.

Copy.c has grown really large. Split it into more manageable parts:
- copy.c now contains only a few functions that are common to COPY FROM
and COPY TO.
- copyto.c contains code for COPY TO.
- copyfrom.c contains code for initializing COPY FROM, and inserting the
tuples to the correct table.
- copyfromparse.c contains code for reading from the client/file/program,
and parsing the input text/CSV/binary format into tuples.
All of these parts are fairly complicated, and fairly independent of each
other. There is a patch being discussed to implement parallel COPY FROM,
which will add a lot of new code to the COPY FROM path, and another patch
which would allow INSERTs to use the same multi-insert machinery as COPY
FROM, both of which will require refactoring that code. With those two
patches, there's going to be a lot of code churn in copy.c anyway, so now
seems like a good time to do this refactoring.
The CopyStateData struct is also split. All the formatting options, like
FORMAT, QUOTE, ESCAPE, are put in a new CopyFormatOption struct, which
is used by both COPY FROM and TO. Other state data are kept in separate
CopyFromStateData and CopyToStateData structs.

In streaming mode, the transaction can be decoded in multiple streams and
those streams can be interleaved with streams of other transactions. So,
we can't remember the transaction's write status in the logical decoding
context because that might get changed due to some other transactions and
lead to wrong answers for 'skip-empty-xacts' option. We decided to keep
each transaction's write status in the ReorderBufferTxn to avoid
interleaved streams changing the status of some unrelated transactions.

Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers
that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of
the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets
rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates
some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic.
Two of these call sites were in fact wrong:
* pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds
by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended.
That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close.
* postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute
microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer
than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but
misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather
than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because
we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still,
it's wrong.
There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't
have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use
TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need
microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with
intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be
worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside
the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here.
Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood
that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this
new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

When allocating a EVP context, it would have been possible to leak some

equivalent implementations for older versions since ce9b75d (code
removed with 9b7cd59a as of 10~). However, in 9.5 and 9.6, the existing

According to buildfarm member sungazer, the behavior of VACUUM can be
unstable in these tests even if we prevent autovacuum from running on
the tables in question, apparently because even a manual vacuum can
behave differently depending on whether anything else is running that
holds back the global xmin. So use a temporary table instead, which
as of commit a7212be8b9 enables
vacuuming using a more aggressive cutoff.
This approach can't be used for the regression test that involves a

Sometimes it happens that the visibility information for a tuple
becomes corrupted, either due to bugs in the database software or
external factors. Provide a function heap_force_kill() that can
be used to truncate such dead tuples to dead line pointers, and
a function heap_force_freeze() that can be used to overwrite the
visibility information in such a way that the tuple becomes
all-visible.
These functions are unsafe, in that you can easily use them to
corrupt a database that was not previously corrupted, and you can
use them to further corrupt an already-corrupted database or to
destroy data. The documentation accordingly cautions against
casual use. However, in some cases they permit recovery of data
that would otherwise be very difficult to recover, or to allow a
system to continue to function when it would otherwise be difficult
to do so.
Because we may want to add other functions for performing other

Until now, REINDEX was not able to work with partitioned tables and
indexes, forcing users to reindex partitions one by one. This extends
REINDEX INDEX and REINDEX TABLE so as they can accept a partitioned
index and table in input, respectively, to reindex all the partitions
assigned to them with physical storage (foreign tables, partitioned
tables and indexes are then discarded).
This shares some logic with schema and database REINDEX as each
partition gets processed in its own transaction after building a list of
relations to work on. This choice has the advantage to minimize the
number of invalid indexes to one partition with REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in
the event a cancellation or failure in-flight, as the only indexes
handled at once in a single REINDEX CONCURRENTLY loop are the ones from
the partition being working on.
Isolation tests are added to emulate some cases I bumped into while
developing this feature, particularly with the concurrent drop of a
leaf partition reindexed. However, this is rather limited as LOCK would
cause REINDEX to block in the first transaction building the list of
partitions.
Per its multi-transaction nature, this new flavor cannot run in a
transaction block, similarly to REINDEX SCHEMA, SYSTEM and DATABASE.

This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.
recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)
Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().
The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)
I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.
This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

Historically, we've considered the state with relpages and reltuples
both zero as indicating that we do not know the table's tuple density.
This is problematic because it's impossible to distinguish "never yet
vacuumed" from "vacuumed and seen to be empty". In particular, a user
cannot use VACUUM or ANALYZE to override the planner's normal heuristic
that an empty table should not be believed to be empty because it is
probably about to get populated. That heuristic is a good safety
measure, so I don't care to abandon it, but there should be a way to
override it if the table is indeed intended to stay empty.
Hence, represent the initial state of ignorance by setting reltuples
to -1 (relpages is still set to zero), and apply the minimum-ten-pages
heuristic only when reltuples is still -1. If the table is empty,
VACUUM or ANALYZE (but not CREATE INDEX) will override that to
reltuples = relpages = 0, and then we'll plan on that basis.
This requires a bunch of fiddly little changes, but we can get rid of
some ugly kluges that were formerly needed to maintain the old definition.
One notable point is that FDWs' GetForeignRelSize methods will see
baserel->tuples = -1 when no ANALYZE has been done on the foreign table.
That seems like a net improvement, since those methods were formerly
also in the dark about what baserel->tuples = 0 really meant. Still,
it is an API change.
I bumped catversion because code predating this change would get confused
by seeing reltuples = -1.

To make GetSnapshotData() more scalable, it cannot not look at at each proc's
xmin: While snapshot contents do not need to change whenever a read-only
transaction commits or a snapshot is released, a proc's xmin is modified in
those cases. The frequency of xmin modifications leads to, particularly on
higher core count systems, many cache misses inside GetSnapshotData(), despite
the data underlying a snapshot not changing. That is the most
significant source of GetSnapshotData() scaling poorly on larger systems.
Without accessing xmins, GetSnapshotData() cannot calculate accurate horizons /
thresholds as it has so far. But we don't really have to: The horizons don't
actually change that much between GetSnapshotData() calls. Nor are the horizons
actually used every time a snapshot is built.
The trick this commit introduces is to delay computation of accurate horizons
until there use and using horizon boundaries to determine whether accurate
horizons need to be computed.
The use of RecentGlobal[Data]Xmin to decide whether a row version could be
removed has been replaces with new GlobalVisTest* functions. These use two
thresholds to determine whether a row can be pruned:
1) definitely_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs >= definitely_needed
are definitely still visible.
2) maybe_needed, indicating that rows deleted by XIDs < maybe_needed can
definitely be removed
GetSnapshotData() updates definitely_needed to be the xmin of the computed
snapshot.
When testing whether a row can be removed (with GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid())
and the tested XID falls in between the two (i.e. XID >= maybe_needed && XID <
definitely_needed) the boundaries can be recomputed to be more accurate. As it
is not cheap to compute accurate boundaries, we limit the number of times that
happens in short succession. As the boundaries used by
GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() are never reset (with maybe_needed updated by
GetSnapshotData()), it is likely that further test can benefit from an earlier
computation of accurate horizons.
To avoid regressing performance when old_snapshot_threshold is set (as that
requires an accurate horizon to be computed), heap_page_prune_opt() doesn't
unconditionally call TransactionIdLimitedForOldSnapshots() anymore. Both the
computation of the limited horizon, and the triggering of errors (with
SetOldSnapshotThresholdTimestamp()) is now only done when necessary to remove
tuples.
This commit just removes the accesses to PGXACT->xmin from
GetSnapshotData(), but other members of PGXACT residing in the same
cache line are accessed. Therefore this in itself does not result in a
significant improvement. Subsequent commits will take advantage of the
fact that GetSnapshotData() now does not need to access xmins anymore.
Note: This contains a workaround in heap_page_prune_opt() to keep the
snapshot_too_old tests working. While that workaround is ugly, the tests
currently are not meaningful, and it seems best to address them separately.

Hostile objects located within the installation-time search_path could
capture references in an extension's installation or upgrade script.
If the extension is being installed with superuser privileges, this
opens the door to privilege escalation. While such hazards have existed
all along, their urgency increases with the v13 "trusted extensions"
feature, because that lets a non-superuser control the installation path
for a superuser-privileged script. Therefore, make a number of changes
to make such situations more secure:
* Tweak the construction of the installation-time search_path to ensure
that references to objects in pg_catalog can't be subverted; and
explicitly add pg_temp to the end of the path to prevent attacks using
temporary objects.
* Disable check_function_bodies within installation/upgrade scripts,
so that any security gaps in SQL-language or PL-language function bodies
cannot create a risk of unwanted installation-time code execution.
* Adjust lookup of type input/receive functions and join estimator
functions to complain if there are multiple candidate functions. This
prevents capture of references to functions whose signature is not the
first one checked; and it's arguably more user-friendly anyway.
* Modify various contrib upgrade scripts to ensure that catalog
modification queries are executed with secure search paths. (These
are in-place modifications with no extension version changes, since
it is the update process itself that is at issue, not the end result.)
Extensions that depend on other extensions cannot be made fully secure
by these methods alone; therefore, revert the "trusted" marking that
commit eb67623c9 applied to earthdistance and hstore_plperl, pending
some better solution to that set of issues.
Also add documentation around these issues, to help extension authors
write secure installation scripts.

Teach contrib/amcheck's bt_index_check() function to check agreement
between siblings links. The left sibling's right link should point to a
right sibling page whose left link points back to the same original left
sibling. This extends a check that bt_index_parent_check() always
performed to bt_index_check().
This is the first time amcheck has been taught to perform buffer lock
coupling, which we have explicitly avoided up until now. The sibling
link check tends to catch a lot of real world index corruption with
little overhead, so it seems worth accepting the complexity. Note that
the new lock coupling logic would not work correctly on replica servers

Commit 7259736a6e added the capability to stream changes in ReorderBuffer
which has some tests to test the streaming mode. It is quite possible that
while this test is running a parallel transaction could be logged by
autovacuum. Such a transaction won't perform any insert/update/delete to
non-catalog tables so will be shown as an empty transaction. Fix it by
skipping the empty transactions during this test.
Per report by buildfarm.
Instead of serializing the transaction to disk after reaching the
logical_decoding_work_mem limit in memory, we consume the changes we have
in memory and invoke stream API methods added by commit 45fdc9738b.
However, sometimes if we have incomplete toast or speculative insert we
spill to the disk because we can't generate the complete tuple and stream.
And, as soon as we get the complete tuple we stream the transaction
including the serialized changes.
We can do this incremental processing thanks to having assignments
(associating subxact with toplevel xacts) in WAL right away, and
thanks to logging the invalidation messages at each command end. These
features are added by commits 0bead9af48 and c55040ccd0 respectively.
Now that we can stream in-progress transactions, the concurrent aborts
may cause failures when the output plugin consults catalogs (both system
and user-defined).
We handle such failures by returning ERRCODE_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK
sqlerrcode from system table scan APIs to the backend or WALSender
decoding a specific uncommitted transaction. The decoding logic on the
receipt of such a sqlerrcode aborts the decoding of the current
transaction and continue with the decoding of other transactions.
We have ReorderBufferTXN pointer in each ReorderBufferChange by which we
know which xact it belongs to. The output plugin can use this to decide
which changes to discard in case of stream_abort_cb (e.g. when a subxact
gets discarded).
We also provide a new option via SQL APIs to fetch the changes being
streamed.

Commit eba77534 fixed an amcheck false positive bug involving
inconsistencies in TOAST input state between table and index. A test
case was added that verified that such an inconsistency didn't result in
a spurious corruption related error.
Test coverage from the test was accidentally lost by commit 501e41dd,
which propagated ALTER TABLE ... SET STORAGE attstorage state to
indexes. This broke the test because the test specifically relied on
attstorage not being propagated. This artificially forced there to be
index tuples whose datums were equivalent to the datums in the heap
without the datums actually being bitwise equal.
Fix this by updating pg_attribute directly instead. Commit 501e41dd
made similar changes to a test_decoding TOAST-related test case which
made the same assumption, but overlooked the amcheck test case.
Backpatch: 11-, just like commit eba77534 (and commit 501e41dd).
Avoid repeatedly calling lseek(SEEK_END) during recovery by caching

streaming changes of large in-progress transactions.
* stream_start
* stream_stop
* stream_abort
* stream_commit
* stream_change
* stream_message
* stream_truncate
Most of this is a simple extension of the existing methods, with
the semantic difference that the transaction (or subtransaction)
is incomplete and may be aborted later (which is something the
regular API does not really need to deal with).
This also extends the 'test_decoding' plugin, implementing these
new stream methods.
The stream_start/start_stop are used to demarcate a chunk of changes
streamed for a particular toplevel transaction.

contrib/pgcrypto mishandled the case where deflate() does not consume
all of the offered input on the first try. It reset the next_in pointer
to the start of the input instead of leaving it alone, causing the wrong
data to be fed to the next deflate() call.
This has been broken since pgcrypto was committed. The reason for the
lack of complaints seems to be that it's fairly hard to get stock zlib
to not consume all the input, so long as the output buffer is big enough
(which it normally would be in pgcrypto's usage; AFAICT the input is
always going to be packetized into packets no larger than ZIP_OUT_BUF).
However, IBM's zlibNX implementation for AIX evidently will do it
in some cases.
I did not add a test case for this, because I couldn't find one that
would fail with stock zlib. When we put back the test case for
bug #16476, that will cover the zlibNX situation well enough.
While here, write deflate()'s second argument as Z_NO_FLUSH per its

Since %c only passes a C "char" to printf, it's incapable of dealing
with multibyte characters. Passing just the first byte of such a
character leads to an output string that is visibly not correctly
encoded, resulting in undesirable behavior such as encoding conversion
failures while sending error messages to clients.
We've lived with this issue for a long time because it was inconvenient
to avoid in a portable fashion. However, now that we always use our own
snprintf code, it's reasonable to use the %.*s format to print just one
possibly-multibyte character in a string. (We previously avoided that
obvious-looking answer in order to work around glibc's bug #6530, cf
commits 54cd4f045 and ed437e2b2.)
Hence, run around and fix a bunch of places that used %c to report
a character found in a user-supplied string. For simplicity, I did
not touch places that were emitting non-user-facing debug messages,
or reporting catalog data that should always be ASCII. (It's also
unclear how useful this approach could be in frontend code, where
it's less certain that we know what encoding we're dealing with.)
In passing, improve a couple of poorly-written error messages in

This is a longstanding issue, but I'm hesitant to back-patch because
of the impact on translatable message strings. In any case this fix

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.

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

Add a test case to contrib/amcheck that creates coverage of code paths
that are used to verify posting list tuples (tuples created when
deduplication merges together existing tuples to avoid a leaf page
split).
Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing,
because you almost always want to write a semicolon after each macro
call instead. (Even if there was some reason to prefer not to, pgindent
would probably make a hash of code formatted that way; so within PG the
rule should basically be "don't do it".) Thus, if we have a semi inside
the macro, the compiler sees "something;;". Much of the time the extra
empty statement is harmless, but it could lead to mysterious syntax
errors at call sites. In perhaps an overabundance of neatnik-ism, let's
run around and get rid of the excess semicolons whereever possible.
The only thing worse than a mysterious syntax error is a mysterious
syntax error that only happens in the back branches; therefore,
backpatch these changes where relevant, which is most of them because
most of these mistakes are old. (The lack of reported problems shows
that this is largely a hypothetical issue, but still, it could bite
us in some future patch.)

An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining
tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes
the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the
page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright
tuples.
The variables that represent split points contained a field called
firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the
original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple
from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple,
but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item
instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing.
Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by
_bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple
and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the
newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers
respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we
describe nbtree page split point state.
Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace
indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing
with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page
high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying
some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split().
Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix
truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is
completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place
during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer
attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated
in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.
We've had a mixture of the warnings pragma, the -w switch on the shebang
line, and no warnings at all. This patch removes the -w swicth and add
the warnings pragma to all perl sources missing it. It raises the
severity of the TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings perlcritic
policy to level 5, so that we catch any future violations.

Add a DEBUG1 message indicating that verification of the index structure
is underway. Also reduce the severity level of the existing "tree
level" debug message to DEBUG1. It should never have been made DEBUG2.
Any B-Tree index with more than a couple of levels will generally also
have so many pages that the per-page DEBUG2 messages will become
completely unmanageable.
In passing, add a new "Tip" to the docs that advises users that run into
corruption that the debug messages might provide useful additional
context.
Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered
only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There
are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from
considering Incremental Sort too.
This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern
is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds
Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting
planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative
approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries
that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not
benefit from Incremental Sort yet.

The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to
users as int8. Now that we have an SQL type xid8 for FullTransactionId,
define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and
pg_current_snapshot() based on that. Keep the old functions around too,
for now.
It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the
binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the
type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness,
and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period
of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally
and share the code for both.

Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a
given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged
operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See
src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New

To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an

wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload
that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try
adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may
need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis
will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY.

RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's

This commit makes pg_stat_statements support new GUC
pg_stat_statements.track_planning. If this option is enabled,
pg_stat_statements tracks the planning statistics of the statements,
e.g., the number of times the statement was planned, the total time
spent planning the statement, etc. This feature is useful to check
the statements that it takes a long time to plan. Previously since
pg_stat_statements tracked only the execution statistics, we could
not use that for the purpose.
The planning and execution statistics are stored at the end of
each phase separately. So there are not always one-to-one relationship
between them. For example, if the statement is successfully planned
but fails in the execution phase, only its planning statistics are stored.
This may cause the users to be able to see different pg_stat_statements
results from the previous version. To avoid this,
pg_stat_statements.track_planning needs to be disabled.
This commit bumps the version of pg_stat_statements to 1.8

Not much to say here --- does what it says on the tin. The "binary"
representation in each case is really just the same as the text format,
though we prefix a version-number byte in case anyone ever feels
motivated to change that. Thus, there's not any expectation of improved
speed or reduced space; the point here is just to allow clients to use
binary format for all columns of a query result or COPY data.
This makes use of the recently added ALTER TYPE support to add binary
I/O functions to an existing data type. As in commit a80818605,
we can piggy-back on there already being a new-for-v13 version of the
ltree extension, so we don't need a new update script file.

Quite a few matching operators such as JSONB's @> used "contsel" and
"contjoinsel" as their selectivity estimators. That was a bad idea,
because (a) contsel is only a stub, yielding a fixed default estimate,
and (b) that default is 0.001, meaning we estimate these operators as
five times more selective than equality, which is surely pretty silly.
There's a good model for improving this in ltree's ltreeparentsel():
for any "var OP constant" query, we can try applying the operator
to all of the column's MCV and histogram values, taking the latter
as being a random sample of the non-MCV values. That code is
actually 100% generic, except for the question of exactly what
default selectivity ought to be plugged in when we don't have stats.
Hence, migrate the guts of ltreeparentsel() into the core code, provide
wrappers "matchingsel" and "matchingjoinsel" with a more-appropriate
default estimate, and use those for the non-geometric operators that
formerly used contsel (mostly JSONB containment operators and tsquery
matching).
Also apply this code to some match-like operators in hstore, ltree, and
pg_trgm, including the former users of ltreeparentsel as well as ones
that improperly used contsel. Since commit 911e70207 just created new
versions of those extensions that we haven't released yet, we can sneak
this change into those new versions instead of having to create an
additional generation of update scripts.

The existing implementation of the ltree ~ lquery match operator is
sufficiently complex and undocumented that it's hard to tell exactly
what it does. But one thing it clearly gets wrong is the combination
of NOT symbols (!) and '*' symbols. A pattern such as '*.!foo.*'
should, by any ordinary understanding of regular expression behavior,
match any ltree that has at least one label that's not "foo". As best
we can tell by experimentation, what it's actually matching is any
ltree in which *no* label is "foo". That's surprising, and not at all
what the documentation says.
Now, that's arguably a useful behavior, so if we rewrite to fix the
bug we should provide some other way to get it. To do so, add the
ability to attach lquery quantifiers to non-'*' items as well as '*'s.
Then the pattern '!foo{,}' expresses "any ltree in which no label is
foo". For backwards compatibility, the default quantifier for non-'*'
items has to be "{1}", although the default for '*' items is '{,}'.
I wouldn't have done it like that in a green field, but it's not
totally horrible.
Armed with that, rewrite checkCond() from scratch. Treating '*' and
non-'*' items alike makes it simpler, not more complicated, so that
the function actually gets a lot shorter than it was.

Ensure that the type name is mentioned in all cases (bare "syntax error"
isn't that helpful). Avoid using the term "level", since that's not
used in the documentation. Phrase error position reports as "at
character N" not "in position N"; the latter seems ambiguous, and it's
certainly not how we say it elsewhere. For the same reason, make the
character position values be 1-based not 0-based. Provide a position
in more cases. (I continued to leave that out of messages complaining
about end-of-input, where it seemed pointless, as well as messages
complaining about overall input complexity, where fingering any one part
of the input would be arbitrary.)

PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.
This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.
In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.
This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize
signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.
Catversion is bumped.

Previously, this code just smashed all types of DefElem values to
strings, cavalierly reasoning that nobody would care. But in point of
fact, most of the defGetFoo functions do distinguish among different
input syntaxes; for instance defGetBoolean will accept 1 as an integer
but not "1" as a string. This led to CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY accepting 0 and 1 as values for boolean dictionary
properties, only to have the dictionary fail at runtime.
We can upgrade this behavior by teaching serialize_deflist that it
does not need to quote T_Integer or T_Float nodes' values on output,
and then teaching deserialize_deflist to restore unquoted integer or
float values as the appropriate node type. This should not break
anything using pg_ts_dict.dictinitoption, since that field is just
defined as being something valid to include in CREATE TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY.
deserialize_deflist is also used to parse the options arguments
for the ts_headline family of functions, but so far as I can see
this won't cause any problems there either: the only consumer of
that output is prsd_headline which always uses defGetString.
(Really that's a bad idea, but I won't risk changing it here.)
This is surely a bug fix, but given the lack of field complaints

example, the oldest_xact column (a TransactionId/xid field) was declared
integer/int4 within the pageinspect extension's sql file. This led to
errors when an oldest_xact value that exceeded 2^31-1 was encountered.
Some of the other columns were defined incorrectly ever since
pageinspect was first introduced, though they were far less likely to
produce problems in practice.
Fix these issues by changing the declaration of bt_metap() to
consistently use data types that can reliably represent all possible
values. This fixes things on HEAD only. No backpatch, since it doesn't
seem like there is a safe way to fix the issue without including a new
version of the pageinspect extension (HEAD/Postgres 13 already
introduced a new version of the extension). Besides, the oldest_xact
issue has been around since the release of Postgres 11, and we haven't
heard any complaints about it before now.
Also, throw an error when we detect a bt_metap() declaration that must
be from an old version of the pageinspect extension by examining the
number of attributes from the tuple descriptor for the return tuples.
It seems better to throw an error in a reliable and obvious way
following a Postgres upgrade, rather than letting bt_metap() fail
unpredictably. The problem is fundamentally with the CREATE FUNCTION
declared data types themselves, so I see no sensible alternative.

Bug: #16285
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16285-df8fc1000ab3d5fc@postgresql.org
plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
would be substantial. Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
jsonb_plperl.

Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define
macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants,
in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was
never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never
too late to make it better though, so let's do that.
The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate
some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch.
But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability,
so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation.
I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even
more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded
references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that
we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers
over time.

The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string
comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a
new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is
stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with
a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource
managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a
CommandTagBehavior struct.
Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a
QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information
about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in
EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string.
EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings
in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

field. Also add three new columns to contrib/pageinspect's
bt_page_items() function:
* Add a boolean column ("dead") that displays the LP_DEAD bit value for
each non-pivot tuple.
* Add a TID column ("htid") that displays a single heap TID value for
each tuple. This is the TID that is returned by BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(),
so comparable values are shown for pivot tuples, plain non-pivot tuples,
and posting list tuples.
* Add a TID array column ("tids") that displays TIDs from each tuple's
posting list, if any. This works just like the "tids" column from
pageinspect's gin_leafpage_items() function.

Deduplication reduces the storage overhead of duplicates in indexes that
use the standard nbtree index access method. The deduplication process
is applied lazily, after the point where opportunistic deletion of
LP_DEAD-marked index tuples occurs. Deduplication is only applied at
the point where a leaf page split would otherwise be required. New
posting list tuples are formed by merging together existing duplicate
tuples. The physical representation of the items on an nbtree leaf page
is made more space efficient by deduplication, but the logical contents
of the page are not changed. Even unique indexes make use of
deduplication as a way of controlling bloat from duplicates whose TIDs
point to different versions of the same logical table row.
The lazy approach taken by nbtree has significant advantages over a GIN
style eager approach. Most individual inserts of index tuples have
exactly the same overhead as before. The extra overhead of
deduplication is amortized across insertions, just like the overhead of
page splits. The key space of indexes works in the same way as it has
since commit dd299df8 (the commit that made heap TID a tiebreaker
column).
Testing has shown that nbtree deduplication can generally make indexes
with about 10 or 15 tuples for each distinct key value about 2.5X - 4X
smaller, even with single column integer indexes (e.g., an index on a
referencing column that accompanies a foreign key). The final size of
single column nbtree indexes comes close to the final size of a similar
contrib/btree_gin index, at least in cases where GIN's posting list
compression isn't very effective. This can significantly improve
transaction throughput, and significantly reduce the cost of vacuuming
indexes.
A new index storage parameter (deduplicate_items) controls the use of
deduplication. The default setting is 'on', so all new B-Tree indexes
automatically use deduplication where possible. This decision will be
reviewed at the end of the Postgres 13 beta period.
There is a regression of approximately 2% of transaction throughput with
synthetic workloads that consist of append-only inserts into a table
with several non-unique indexes, where all indexes have few or no
repeated values. The underlying issue is that cycles are wasted on
unsuccessful attempts at deduplicating items in non-unique indexes.
There doesn't seem to be a way around it short of disabling
deduplication entirely. Note that deduplication of items in unique
indexes is fairly well targeted in general, which avoids the problem
there (we can use a special heuristic to trigger deduplication passes in
unique indexes, since we're specifically targeting "version bloat").
Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_vacuum changed.
No bump in BTREE_VERSION, since the representation of posting list
tuples works in a way that's backwards compatible with version 4 indexes
(i.e. indexes built on PostgreSQL 12). However, users must still
REINDEX a pg_upgrade'd index to use deduplication, regardless of the
Postgres version they've upgraded from. This is the only way to set the
new nbtree metapage flag indicating that deduplication is generally
safe.

The comments in fd.c have long claimed that all file allocations should
go through that module, but in reality that's not always practical.
fd.c doesn't supply APIs for invoking some FD-producing syscalls like
pipe() or epoll_create(); and the APIs it does supply for non-virtual
FDs are mostly insistent on releasing those FDs at transaction end;
and in some cases the actual open() call is in code that can't be made
to use fd.c, such as libpq.
This has led to a situation where, in a modern server, there are likely
to be seven or so long-lived FDs per backend process that are not known
to fd.c. Since NUM_RESERVED_FDS is only 10, that meant we had *very*
few spare FDs if max_files_per_process is >= the system ulimit and
fd.c had opened all the files it thought it safely could. The
contrib/postgres_fdw regression test, in particular, could easily be
made to fall over by running it under a restrictive ulimit.
To improve matters, invent functions Acquire/Reserve/ReleaseExternalFD
that allow outside callers to tell fd.c that they have or want to allocate
a FD that's not directly managed by fd.c. Add calls to track all the
fixed FDs in a standard backend session, so that we are honestly
guaranteeing that NUM_RESERVED_FDS FDs remain unused below the EMFILE
limit in a backend's idle state. The coding rules for these functions say
that there's no need to call them in code that just allocates one FD over
a fairly short interval; we can dip into NUM_RESERVED_FDS for such cases.
That means that there aren't all that many places where we need to worry.
But postgres_fdw and dblink must use this facility to account for
long-lived FDs consumed by libpq connections. There may be other places
where it's worth doing such accounting, too, but this seems like enough
to solve the immediate problem.
Internally to fd.c, "external" FDs are limited to max_safe_fds/3 FDs.
(Callers can choose to ignore this limit, but of course it's unwise
to do so except for fixed file allocations.) I also reduced the limit
on "allocated" files to max_safe_fds/3 FDs (it had been max_safe_fds/2).
Conceivably a smarter rule could be used here --- but in practice,
on reasonable systems, max_safe_fds should be large enough that this
isn't much of an issue, so KISS for now. To avoid possible regression
in the number of external or allocated files that can be opened,
increase FD_MINFREE and the lower limit on max_files_per_process a
little bit; we now insist that the effective "ulimit -n" be at least 64.
This seems like pretty clearly a bug fix, but in view of the lack of
field complaints, I'll refrain from risking a back-patch.

Andres Freund pointed out that allowing non-superusers to run
"CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged" has security risks, since
the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts don't try to verify that the existing
objects they're modifying are what they expect. Just attaching such
objects to an extension doesn't seem too dangerous, but some of them
do more than that.
We could have resolved this, perhaps, by still requiring superuser
privilege to use the FROM option. However, it's fair to ask just what
we're accomplishing by continuing to lug the unpackaged-to-1.0 scripts
forward. None of them have received any real testing since 9.1 days,
so they may not even work anymore (even assuming that one could still
load the previous "loose" object definitions into a v13 database).
And an installation that's trying to go from pre-9.1 to v13 or later
in one jump is going to have worse compatibility problems than whether
there's a trivial way to convert their contrib modules into extension
style.
Hence, let's just drop both those scripts and the core-code support
for "CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM".

In a statement like "UPDATE remote_tab SET (x,y) = (SELECT ...)",
we'd conclude that the statement could be directly executed remotely,
because the sub-SELECT is in a resjunk tlist item that's not examined
for shippability. Currently that ends up crashing if the sub-SELECT
contains any remote Vars. Prevent the crash by deeming MULTIEXEC
Params to be unshippable.
This is a bit of a brute-force solution, since if the sub-SELECT
*doesn't* contain any remote Vars, the current execution technology
would work; but that's not a terribly common use-case for this syntax,
I think. In any case, we generally don't try to ship sub-SELECTs, so

The strategy of GIN index scan is driven by opclass-specific extract_query
method. This method that needed search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL. This
mode means that matching tuple may contain none of extracted entries. Simple
example is '!term' tsquery, which doesn't need any term to exist in matching
tsvector.
In order to handle such scan key GIN calculates virtual entry, which contains
all TIDs of all entries of attribute. In fact this is full scan of index
attribute. And typically this is very slow, but allows to handle some queries
correctly in GIN. However, current algorithm calculate such virtual entry for
each GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL scan key even if they are multiple for the same
attribute. This is clearly not optimal.
This commit improves the situation by introduction of "exclude only" scan keys.
Such scan keys are not capable to return set of matching TIDs. Instead, they
are capable only to filter TIDs produced by normal scan keys. Therefore,
each attribute should contain at least one normal scan key, while rest of them
may be "exclude only" if search mode is GIN_SEARCH_MODE_ALL.
The same optimization might be applied to the whole scan, not per-attribute.
But that leads to NULL values elimination problem. There is trade-off between
multiple possible ways to do this. We probably want to do this later using
some cost-based decision algorithm.

However, this doesn't make sense for all authentication methods. We
therefore allow a superuser to set "password_required 'false'" for user
mappings for the postgres_fdw. The superuser must ensure that the
foreign server won't try to rely solely on the server identity (e.g.
trust, peer, ident) or use an authentication mechanism that relies on the
password settings (e.g. md5, scram-sha-256).

This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the
parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs
were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan. Since the child RTEs
now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit 55a1954da),
the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or
implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N"
appended. (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases
in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original
RTEs will also have "_N" appended.)
This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than
we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias,
and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous
behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N".
The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned
by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that
refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or
MergeAppend that computes the appendrel. But below the append, Vars
refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way.
This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry
values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only
one of them.
While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN
deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees. This effectively reverts a
decision made in commit 1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at
the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c. However,
it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup
pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible,

AfterTriggerExecute() retrieves a fresh tuple or pair of tuples from a
tuplestore and then stores the tuple(s) in the passed-in slot(s) if
AFTER_TRIGGER_FDW_FETCH, while it uses the most-recently-retrieved
tuple(s) stored in the slot(s) if AFTER_TRIGGER_FDW_REUSE. This was
done correctly before 12, but commit ff11e7f4b broke it by mistakenly
clearing the tuple(s) stored in the slot(s) in that function, leading to
an assertion failure as reported in bug #16139 from Alexander Lakhin.

* For tg_newslot, which is a slot added to the TriggerData struct by the

The dict_int text search dictionary template accepts maxlen parameter,
which is then used to cap the length of input strings. The value was
not properly checked, and the code simply does

EXPLAIN generally only adds schema qualifications to table names when
VERBOSE is specified. In postgres_fdw's "Relations" output, table
names were always so qualified, but that was an implementation
restriction: in the original coding, we didn't have access to the
verbose flag at the time the string was generated. After the code
rearrangement of commit 4526951d5, we do have that info available
at the right time, so make this output follow the normal rule.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/12424.1575168015@sss.pgh.pa.us
If an inheritance/partitioning parent table is assigned some column
alias names in the query, EXPLAIN mapped those aliases onto the
child tables' columns by physical position, resulting in bogus output
if a child table's columns aren't one-for-one with the parent's.
To fix, make expand_single_inheritance_child() generate a correctly
re-mapped column alias list, rather than just copying the parent
RTE's alias node. (We have to fill the alias field, not just
adjust the eref field, because ruleutils.c will ignore eref in
favor of looking at the real column names.)
This means that child tables will now always have alias fields in
plan rtables, where before they might not have. That results in
a rather substantial set of regression test output changes:
EXPLAIN will now always show child tables with aliases that match
the parent table (usually with "_N" appended for uniqueness).
But that seems like a net positive for understandability, since
the parent alias corresponds to something that actually appeared
in the original query, while the child table names didn't.
(Note that this does not change anything for cases where an explicit
table alias was written in the query for the parent table; it
just makes cases without such aliases behave similarly to that.)
Hence, while we could avoid these subsidiary changes if we made
inherit.c more complicated, we choose not to.

The relation aliases shown in the "Relations" line for a foreign scan
didn't always agree with those used in the rest of EXPLAIN's output.
The regression test result changes appearing here provide examples.
It's really impossible for postgres_fdw to duplicate EXPLAIN's alias
assignment logic during postgresGetForeignRelSize(), because of the
de-duplication that EXPLAIN does on a global basis --- and anyway,
trying to duplicate that would be unmaintainable. Instead, just put
numeric rangetable indexes into the string, and convert those to
table names/aliases in postgresExplainForeignScan, which does have
access to the results of ruleutils.c's alias assignment logic.
Aside from being more reliable, this shifts some work from planning
to EXPLAIN, which is a good tradeoff for performance. (I also
changed from using StringInfo to using psprintf, which makes the
code slightly simpler and reduces its memory consumption.)
A kluge required by this solution is that we have to reverse-engineer
the rtoffset applied by setrefs.c. If that logic ever fails
(presumably because the member tables of a join got offset by
different amounts), we'll need some more cooperation with setrefs.c
to keep things straight. But for now, there's no need for that.
Arguably this is a back-patchable bug fix, but since this is a mostly
cosmetic issue and there have been no field complaints, I'll refrain
for now.

Instead of deciding to serialize a transaction merely based on the
number of changes in that xact (toplevel or subxact), this makes
the decisions based on amount of memory consumed by the changes.
The memory limit is defined by a new logical_decoding_work_mem GUC,
so for example we can do this
SET logical_decoding_work_mem = '128kB'
to reduce the memory usage of walsenders or set the higher value to
reduce disk writes. The minimum value is 64kB.
When adding a change to a transaction, we account for the size in
two places. Firstly, in the ReorderBuffer, which is then used to
decide if we reached the total memory limit. And secondly in the
transaction the change belongs to, so that we can pick the largest
transaction to evict (and serialize to disk).
We still use max_changes_in_memory when loading changes serialized
to disk. The trouble is we can't use the memory limit directly as
there might be multiple subxact serialized, we need to read all of
them but we don't know how many are there (and which subxact to
read first).
We do not serialize the ReorderBufferTXN entries, so if there is a
transaction with many subxacts, most memory may be in this type of
objects. Those records are not included in the memory accounting.
We also do not account for INTERNAL_TUPLECID changes, which are
kept in a separate list and not evicted from memory. Transactions
with many CTID changes may consume significant amounts of memory,
but we can't really do much about that.
The current eviction algorithm is very simple - the transaction is
picked merely by size, while it might be useful to also consider age
(LSN) of the changes for example. With the new Generational memory
allocator, evicting the oldest changes would make it more likely
the memory gets actually pfreed.
The logical_decoding_work_mem can be set in postgresql.conf, in which
case it serves as the default for all publishers on that instance.

it forgot to consider custom relation options. This causes failures

is not defined. The existing APIs to define a custom reloption does not
allow to define a custom lock mode, so enforce its initialization to
AccessExclusiveMode which should be safe enough in all cases. An

When a relation is truncated, shared_buffers needs to be scanned
so that any buffers for the relation forks are invalidated in it.
Previously, shared_buffers was scanned for each relation forks, i.e.,
MAIN, FSM and VM, when VACUUM truncated off any empty pages
at the end of relation or TRUNCATE truncated the relation in place.
Since shared_buffers needed to be scanned multiple times,
it could take a long time to finish those commands especially
when shared_buffers was large.
This commit changes the logic so that shared_buffers is scanned only
one time for those three relation forks.

Backpatch: 10-, where amcheck was introduced.
In the wake of commit 1cff1b95a, the result of list_concat no longer
shares the ListCells of the second input. Therefore, we can replace
"list_concat(x, list_copy(y))" with just "list_concat(x, y)".
To improve call sites that were list_copy'ing the first argument,
or both arguments, invent "list_concat_copy()" which produces a new
list sharing no ListCells with either input. (This is a bit faster
than "list_concat(list_copy(x), y)" because it makes the result list
the right size to start with.)
In call sites that were not list_copy'ing the second argument, the new
semantics mean that we are usually leaking the second List's storage,
since typically there is no remaining pointer to it. We considered
inventing another list_copy variant that would list_free the second
input, but concluded that for most call sites it isn't worth worrying
about, given the relative compactness of the new List representation.
(Note that in cases where such leakage would happen, the old code
already leaked the second List's header; so we're only discussing
the size of the leak not whether there is one. I did adjust two or
three places that had been troubling to free that header so that
they manually free the whole second List.)

contrib/intarray considers "arraycol <@ constant-array" to be indexable,
but its GiST opclass code fails to reliably find index entries for empty
array values (which of course should trivially match such queries).
This is because the test condition to see whether we should descend
through a non-leaf node is wrong.
Unfortunately, empty array entries could be anywhere in the index,
as these index opclasses are currently designed. So there's no way
to fix this except by lobotomizing <@ indexscans to scan the whole
index ... which is what this patch does. That's pretty unfortunate:
the performance is now actually worse than a seqscan, in most cases.
We'd be better off to remove <@ from the GiST opclasses entirely,
and perhaps a future non-back-patchable patch will do so.
In the meantime, applications whose performance is adversely impacted
have a couple of options. They could switch to a GIN index, which
doesn't have this bug, or they could replace "arraycol <@ constant-array"
with "arraycol <@ constant-array AND arraycol && constant-array".
That will provide about the same performance as before, and it will find
all non-empty subsets of the given constant-array, which is all that
could reliably be expected of the query before.
While at it, add some more regression test cases to improve code
coverage of contrib/intarray.
In passing, adjust resize_intArrayType so that when it's returning an
empty array, it uses construct_empty_array for that rather than
cowboy hacking on the input array. While the hack produces an array
that looks valid for most purposes, it isn't bitwise equal to empty
arrays produced by other code paths, which could have subtle odd
effects. I don't think this code path is performance-critical
enough to justify such shortcuts. (Back-patch this part only as far
