exec_parse_message() wants to create a cached plan in all cases,
including for empty input. The empty-input path does not have
a test for being in an aborted transaction, making it possible
that plancache.c will fail due to trying to do database lookups
even though there's no real work to do.
One solution would be to throw an aborted-transaction error in
this path too, but it's not entirely clear whether the lack of
such an error was intentional or whether some clients might be
relying on non-error behavior. Instead, let's hack plancache.c
so that it treats empty statements with the same logic it
already had for transaction control commands, ensuring that it
can soldier through even in an already-aborted transaction.

Previously stats in the startup process would only get reported during
shutdown of the startup process. It has been that way for a long time, but
became a lot more noticeable with the new pg_stat_io view, which separates out
IO done by different backend types...
While replaying after every XLOG_RUNNING_XACTS isn't the prettiest approach,
it has the advantage of being quite easy. Given that we're well past feature
freeze...
It's not a problem that we don't report stats more frequently with
wal_level=minimal, in that case stats can't be read before the stats process
has shut down.
Besides the above, this commit also changes pgstat_report_stat() to acquire
the timestamp with GetCurrentTimestamp() instead of
GetCurrentTransactionStopTimestamp().

Commit 927d9abb6 purported to make datetime() accept any string
that could be output for a datetime value by to_jsonb(). But it
overlooked the possibility of fractional seconds being present,
so that cases as simple as to_jsonb(now()) would defeat it.
Fix by adding formats that include ".US" to the list in
executeDateTimeMethod(). (Note that while this is nominally
microseconds, it'll do the right thing for fractions with
fewer than six digits.)
In passing, re-order the list to restore the datatype ordering
specified in its comment. The violation accidentally did not
break anything; but the next edit might be less lucky, so add
more comments.

- Commit 3eb77eba5a, which moved the pending ops queue from md.c to
sync.c, introduced a duplicate, unused 'pendingOpsCxt'
variable. (I'm surprised none of the compilers or static analysis
tools have complained about that.)
- Commit c2fe139c20 moved the 'synchronize_seqscans' variable and
introduced an extern declaration in tableam.h, making the one in
guc_tables.c unnecessary.
- Commit 6f0cf87872 removed the 'pgstat_temp_directory' GUC, but
forgot to remove the corresponding global variable.
- Commit 1b4e729eaa removed the 'pg_krb_realm' GUC, and its global
variable, but forgot the declaration in auth.h.
Spotted all these by reading the code.
Split nbtree's _bt_getbuf function is two: code that read locks or write
locks existing pages remains in _bt_getbuf, while code that deals with
allocating new pages is moved to a new, dedicated function called
_bt_allocbuf. This simplifies most _bt_getbuf callers, since it is no
longer necessary for them to pass a heaprel argument. Many of the
changes to nbtree from commit 61b313e4 can be reverted. This minimizes
the divergence between HEAD/PostgreSQL 16 and earlier release branches.
_bt_allocbuf replaces the previous nbtree idiom of passing P_NEW to
_bt_getbuf. There are only 3 affected call sites, all of which continue
to pass a heaprel for recovery conflict purposes. Note that nbtree's
use of P_NEW was superficial; nbtree never actually relied on the P_NEW
code paths in bufmgr.c, so this change is strictly mechanical.
GiST already took the same approach; it has a dedicated function for
allocating new pages called gistNewBuffer(). That factor allowed commit
61b313e4 to make much more targeted changes to GiST.

The GUC settings lc_collate and lc_ctype are from a time when those
locale settings were cluster-global. When those locale settings were
made per-database (PG 8.4), the settings were kept as read-only. As
of PG 15, you can use ICU as the per-database locale provider, so
examining these settings is already less meaningful and possibly
confusing, since you need to look into pg_database to find out what is
really happening, and they would likely become fully obsolete in the

Should a hash join exceed memory limit, the hashtable is split up into
multiple batches. The number of batches is doubled each time a given
batch is determined not to fit in memory. Each batch file is allocated
with a block-sized buffer for buffering tuples and parallel hash join
has additional sharedtuplestore accessor buffers.
In some pathological cases requiring a lot of batches, often with skewed
data, bad stats, or very large datasets, users can run out-of-memory
solely from the memory overhead of all the batch files' buffers.
Batch files were allocated in the ExecutorState memory context, making
it very hard to identify when this batch explosion was the source of an
OOM. This commit allocates the batch files in a dedicated memory
context, making it easier to identify the cause of an OOM and work to
avoid it.

Non-leaf pages of GiST indexes contain key attributes, leaf pages
contain both key and non-key attributes, and gist_page_items() ignored
the handling of non-key attributes. This caused a few problems when
using gist_page_items() on a GiST index with INCLUDE:
- On a non-leaf page, the function would crash.
- On a leaf page, the function would work, but miss to display all the
values for included attributes.
This commit fixes gist_page_items() to handle such cases in a more
appropriate way, and now displays the values of key and non-key
attributes for each item separately in a style consistent with what
ruleutils.c would generate for the attribute list, depending on the page
type dealt with. In a way similar to how a record is displayed, values
would be double-quoted for key or non-key attributes if required.
ruleutils.c did not provide a routine able to control if non-key
attributes should be displayed, so an extended() routine for index
definitions is added to work around the leaf and non-leaf page
differences.
While on it, this commit fixes a third problem related to the amount of
data reported for key attributes. The code originally relied on
BuildIndexValueDescription() (used for error reports on constraints)
that would not print all the data stored in the index but the index
opclass's input type, so this limited the amount of information
available. This switch makes gist_page_items() much cheaper as there is
no need to run ACL checks for each item printed, which is not an issue
anyway as superuser rights are required to execute the functions of
pageinspect. Opclasses whose data cannot be displayed can rely on
gist_page_items_bytea().
The documentation of this function was slightly incorrect for the
output results generated on HEAD and v15, so adjust it on these
branches.

This is equivalent to a revert of f193883 and fb32748, with the addition
that the declaration of the SQLValueFunction node needs to gain a couple
of node_attr for query jumbling. The performance impact of removing the
function call inlining is proving to be too huge for some workloads
where these are used. A worst-case test case of involving only simple
SELECT queries with a SQL keyword is proving to lead to a reduction of
10% in TPS via pgbench and prepared queries on a high-end machine.
None of the tests I ran back for this set of changes saw such a huge
gap, but Alexander Lakhin and Andres Freund have found that this can be
noticeable. Keeping the older performance would mean to do more
inlining in the executor when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX for a function
expression, similarly to what SQLValueFunction does. This requires more
redesign work and there is little time until 16beta1 is released, so for
now reverting the change is the best way forward, bringing back the
previous performance.

An update of the GUC stats_fetch_consistency in a transaction would be
able to trigger an assertion when doing cache->snapshot. In this case,
when retrieving a pgstat entry after the switch, a new snapshot would be
rebuilt, confusing pgstat_build_snapshot() because a snapshot is already
cached with an unexpected mode ("cache").
In order to fix this problem, this commit adds a flag to force a
snapshot clear each time this GUC is changed. Some tests are added to
check, while on it.
Some optimizations in avoiding the snapshot clear should be possible
depending on what is cached and the current GUC value, I guess, but this
solution is simple, and ensures that the state of the cache is updated
each time a new pgstat entry is fetched, hence being consistent with the
level wanted by the client that has set the GUC.
Note that cache->none and snapshot->none would not cause issues, as
fetching a pgstat entry would be retrieved from shared memory on the
second attempt, however a snapshot would still be cached. Similarly,
none->snapshot and none->cache would build a new snapshot on the second
fetch attempt. Finally, snapshot->cache would cache a new snapshot on
the second attempt.

Previously, a PostgreSQL-specific callback checked by the regex engine
had a way to trigger a special error code REG_CANCEL if it detected that
the next call to CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would certainly throw via
ereport().
A later proposed bugfix aims to move some complex logic out of signal
handlers, so that it won't run until the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(),
which makes the above design impossible unless we split
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() into two phases, one to run logic and another to
ereport(). We may develop such a system in the future, but for the
regex code it is no longer necessary.
An earlier commit moved regex memory management over to our
MemoryContext system. Given that the purpose of the two-phase interrupt
checking was to free memory before throwing, something we don't need to
worry about anymore, it seems simpler to inject CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()
directly into cancelation points, and just let it throw.
Since the plan is to keep PostgreSQL-specific concerns separate from the
main regex engine code (with a view to bein able to stay in sync with
other projects), do this with a new macro INTERRUPT(), customizable in
regcustom.h and defaulting to nothing.

Previously, regex_t objects' memory was managed with malloc() and free()
directly. Switch to palloc()-based memory management instead.
Advantages:
* memory used by cached regexes is now visible with MemoryContext
observability tools
* cleanup can be done automatically in certain failure modes
(something that later commits will take advantage of)
* cleanup can be done in bulk
On the downside, there may be more fragmentation (wasted memory) due to
per-regex MemoryContext objects. This is a problem shared with other
cached objects in PostgreSQL and can probably be improved with later
tuning.

In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a
later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well
aligned. The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically
sectors and/or memory pages). The address alignment size is set to
4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern
sectors and common memory page size. There is no standard governing
O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this

Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular
buffered I/O performance.
Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted:
(1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or
MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175.
(2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler. (3) The buffer
pool is also aligned in shared memory.
WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ. It's possible for
XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus
for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a
pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit.
BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT
for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even
in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment).
If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions
we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to
0. This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but
can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory
be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such
machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support
instead. That's an existing and tested class of system.
Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and
smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack
alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too
small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

Support GSSAPI/Kerberos credentials being delegated to the server by a
client. With this, a user authenticating to PostgreSQL using Kerberos
(GSSAPI) credentials can choose to delegate their credentials to the
PostgreSQL server (which can choose to accept them, or not), allowing
the server to then use those delegated credentials to connect to
another service, such as with postgres_fdw or dblink or theoretically
any other service which is able to be authenticated using Kerberos.
Both postgres_fdw and dblink are changed to allow non-superuser
password-less connections but only when GSSAPI credentials have been
delegated to the server by the client and GSSAPI is used to
authenticate to the remote system.

We now create pg_constaint rows for NOT NULL constraints with
contype='n'.
We propagate these constraints during operations such as adding
inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions, creating
tables LIKE other tables. We mostly follow the well-known rules of
conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some
adaptations; for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't
match NOT NULL ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it;
instead we match by column number. This means we don't require the
constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy.
For now, we omit them from system catalogs. Maybe this is worth
reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses
either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is
already large and complicated enough.)
This has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by
Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'),
which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was
killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead:
manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard
development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design
(mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as
well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK
expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current
implementation uses contype='n' again.
In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no
consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to
the letter of the standard, requiring additional pg_attribute columns to
track the OID of the NOT NULL constraint for that column.

The old wording described these as being multiplied by max_connections

some time thanks to the addition of various auxiliary processes.
Moreover, exactness here is a bit pointless given that the lock tables

Add new options to the VACUUM and ANALYZE commands called
BUFFER_USAGE_LIMIT to allow users more control over how large to make the
buffer access strategy that is used to limit the usage of buffers in
shared buffers. Larger rings can allow VACUUM to run more quickly but
have the drawback of VACUUM possibly evicting more buffers from shared
buffers that might be useful for other queries running on the database.
Here we also add a new GUC named vacuum_buffer_usage_limit which controls
how large to make the access strategy when it's not specified in the
VACUUM/ANALYZE command. This defaults to 256KB, which is the same size as
the access strategy was prior to this change. This setting also
controls how large to make the buffer access strategy for autovacuum.

The primary bottlenecks for relation extension are:
1) The extension lock is held while acquiring a victim buffer for the new
page. Acquiring a victim buffer can require writing out the old page
contents including possibly needing to flush WAL.
2) When extending via ReadBuffer() et al, we write a zero page during the
extension, and then later write out the actual page contents. This can
nearly double the write rate.
3) The existing bulk relation extension infrastructure in hio.c just amortized
the cost of acquiring the relation extension lock, but none of the other
costs.
Unfortunately 1) cannot currently be addressed in a central manner as the
callers to ReadBuffer() need to acquire the extension lock. To address that,
this this commit moves the responsibility for acquiring the extension lock
into bufmgr.c functions. That allows to acquire the relation extension lock
for just the required time. This will also allow us to improve relation
extension further, without changing callers.
The reason we write all-zeroes pages during relation extension is that we hope
to get ENOSPC errors earlier that way (largely works, except for CoW
filesystems). It is easier to handle out-of-space errors gracefully if the
page doesn't yet contain actual tuples. This commit addresses 2), by using the
recently introduced smgrzeroextend(), which extends the relation, without
dirtying the kernel page cache for all the extended pages.
To address 3), this commit introduces a function to extend a relation by
multiple blocks at a time.
There are three new exposed functions: ExtendBufferedRel() for extending the
relation by a single block, ExtendBufferedRelBy() to extend a relation by
multiple blocks at once, and ExtendBufferedRelTo() for extending a relation up
to a certain size.
To avoid duplicating code between ReadBuffer(P_NEW) and the new functions,
ReadBuffer(P_NEW) now implements relation extension with
ExtendBufferedRel(), using a flag to tell ExtendBufferedRel() that the
relation lock is already held.
Note that this commit does not yet lead to a meaningful performance or
scalability improvement - for that uses of ReadBuffer(P_NEW) will need to be
converted to ExtendBuffered*(), which will be done in subsequent commits.

This commit increases the size of the ResourceOwnerData struct, which appears

Convert to BCP47 language tags before storing in the catalog, except
during binary upgrade or when the locale comes from an existing
collation or template database.
The resulting language tags can vary slightly between ICU
versions. For instance, "@colBackwards=yes" is converted to
"und-u-kb-true" in older versions of ICU, and to the simpler (but
equivalent) "und-u-kb" in newer versions.
The process of canonicalizing to a language tag also understands more
input locale string formats than ucol_open(). For instance,
"fr_CA.UTF-8" is misinterpreted by ucol_open() and the region is
ignored; effectively treating it the same as the locale "fr" and
opening the wrong collator. Canonicalization properly interprets the
language and region, resulting in the language tag "fr-CA", which can
then be understood by ucol_open().
This commit fixes a problem in prior versions due to ucol_open()
misinterpreting locale strings as described above. For instance,
creating an ICU collation with locale "fr_CA.UTF-8" would store that
string directly in the catalog, which would later be passed to (and
misinterpreted by) ucol_open(). After this commit, the locale string
will be canonicalized to language tag "fr-CA" in the catalog, which
will be properly understood by ucol_open(). Because this fix affects
the resulting collator, we cannot change the locale string stored in
the catalog for existing databases or collations; otherwise we'd risk
corrupting indexes. Therefore, only canonicalize locales for
newly-created (not upgraded) collations/databases. For similar
reasons, do not backport.

Up until now, logical replication actions have been performed as the
subscription owner, who will generally be a superuser. Commit
cec57b1a0f documented hazards
associated with that situation, namely, that any user who owns a
table on the subscriber side could assume the privileges of the
subscription owner by attaching a trigger, expression index, or
some other kind of executable code to it. As a remedy, it suggested
not creating configurations where users who are not fully trusted
own tables on the subscriber.
Although that will work, it basically precludes using logical
replication in the way that people typically want to use it,
namely, to replicate a database from one node to another
without necessarily having any restrictions on which database
users can own tables. So, instead, change logical replication to
execute INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and TRUNCATE operations as the
table owner when they are replicated.
Since this involves switching the active user frequently within
a session that is authenticated as the subscription user, also
impose SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION restrictions on logical
replication code. As an exception, if the table owner can SET
ROLE to the subscription owner, these restrictions have no
security value, so don't impose them in that case.
Subscription owners are now required to have the ability to
SET ROLE to every role that owns a table that the subscription
is replicating. If they don't, replication will fail. Superusers,
who normally own subscriptions, satisfy this property by default.
Non-superusers users who own subscriptions will need to be
granted the roles that own relevant tables.

I realized that the third overflow case I posited in commit b0e9e4d76
actually should be handled in a different way: rather than tolerating
the idea that the quotient could round to 1, we should clamp so that
the output cannot be more than "count" when we know that the operand is
less than bound2. That being the case, we don't need an overflow-aware
increment in that code path, which leads me to revert the movement of
the pg_add_s32_overflow() call. (The diff in width_bucket_float8
might be easier to read by comparing against b0e9e4d76^.)
What's more, width_bucket_numeric also has this problem of the quotient
potentially rounding to 1, so add a clamp there too.
As before, I'm not quite convinced that a back-patch is warranted.

The original coding of this function paid little attention to the
possibility of overflow. There were actually three different hazards:
1. The range from bound1 to bound2 could exceed DBL_MAX, which on
IEEE-compliant machines produces +Infinity in the subtraction.
At best we'd lose all precision in the result, and at worst
produce NaN due to dividing Inf/Inf. The range can't exceed
twice DBL_MAX though, so we can fix this case by scaling all the
inputs by 0.5.
2. We computed count * (operand - bound1), which is also at risk of
float overflow, before dividing. Safer is to do the division first,
producing a quotient that should be in [0,1), and even after allowing
for roundoff error can't be outside [0,1]; then multiplying by count
can't produce a result overflowing an int. (width_bucket_numeric does
the multiplication first on the grounds that that improves accuracy of
its result, but I don't think that a similar argument can be made in
float arithmetic.)
3. If the division result does round to 1, and count is INT_MAX,
the final addition of 1 would overflow an int. We took care
of that in the operand >= bound2 case but did not consider that
it could be possible in the main path. Fix that by moving the
overflow-aware addition of 1 so it is done that way in all cases.
The fix for point 2 creates a possibility that values very close to
a bucket boundary will be rounded differently than they were before.
I'm not troubled by that for HEAD, but it is an argument against
putting this into the stable branches. Given that the cases being
fixed here are fairly extreme and unlikely to be hit in normal use,
it seems best not to back-patch.

For ICU collations, ensure that the locale's language exists in ICU,

Basic validation helps avoid minor mistakes and misspellings, which

Replace the hardcoded value with a GUC such that the iteration
count can be raised in order to increase protection against
brute-force attacks. The hardcoded value for SCRAM iteration
count was defined to be 4096, which is taken from RFC 7677, so
set the default for the GUC to 4096 to match. In RFC 7677 the
recommendation is at least 15000 iterations but 4096 is listed
as a SHOULD requirement given that it's estimated to yield a
0.5s processing time on a mobile handset of the time of RFC
writing (late 2015).
Raising the iteration count of SCRAM will make stored passwords
more resilient to brute-force attacks at a higher computational
cost during connection establishment. Lowering the count will
reduce computational overhead during connections at the tradeoff
of reducing strength against brute-force attacks.
There are however platforms where even a modest iteration count
yields a too high computational overhead, with weaker password
encryption schemes chosen as a result. In these situations,
SCRAM with a very low iteration count still gives benefits over
weaker schemes like md5, so we allow the iteration count to be
set to one at the low end.
The new GUC is intentionally generically named such that it can
be made to support future SCRAM standards should they emerge.
At that point the value can be made into key:value pairs with
an undefined key as a default which will be backwards compatible
with this.

The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to
allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function
has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits
past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes
valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could
cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very
good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case,
so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/.
While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow
of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays,
potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation.
For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of
checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last
addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check,
since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.)
For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all,
since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of

When extracting an attr from a cached tuple in the syscache with
SysCacheGetAttr the isnull parameter must be checked in case the
attr cannot be NULL. For cases when this is known beforehand, a
wrapper is introduced which perform the errorhandling internally
on behalf of the caller, invoking an elog in case of a NULL attr.

The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated
as though the current level of partitioning was the only one.
In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change
over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go
backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total.
Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct
and indirect children once at command start, and then just
incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent
a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param"
to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the
former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already
enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count
down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in
ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just
eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

The fields of NLSVERSIONINFOEX are of type DWORD, which is unsigned
long, so the results of the computations being printed are also of

This commit renames the members of a few pgstat structures related to

"t_". The statistics for functions and relations and handled in their

variable named based on the object type handled, so no information is
lost with this rename.
This will help with some of the refactoring aimed for pgstatfuncs.c, as
this makes more consistent the field names with the SQL functions

The "und" locale is an alternative spelling of the root locale, but it
was not recognized until ICU 55. To maintain common behavior across
all supported ICU versions, check for "und" and replace with "root"
before opening.
Previously, the lack of support for "und" was dangerous, because
versions 54 and older fall back to the environment when a locale is
not found. If the user specified "und" for the language (which is
expected and documented), it could not only resolve to the wrong
collator, but it could unexpectedly change (which could lead to
corrupt indexes).
This effectively reverts commit d72900bded, which worked around the
problem for the built-in "unicode" collation, and is no longer

DecodeDateTime and DecodeTimeOnly had support for date input in the
style "Y2023M03D16", which the comments claimed to be an "ISO" format.
However, so far as I can find there is no such format in ISO 8601;
they write units before numbers in intervals, but not in datetimes.
Furthermore, the lesser-known ISO 8601-2 spec actually defines an
incompatible format "2023Y03M16D". None of our documentation mentions
such a format either. So let's just drop it.
That leaves us with only two cases for a prefix unit specifier in
datetimes: Julian dates written as Jnnnn, and the "T" separator
defined by ISO 8601. Add checks to catch misuse of these specifiers,
that is consecutive specifiers or a dangling specifier at the end of
the string. We do not however disallow a specifier that is separated
from the field that it disambiguates (by noise words or unrelated
fields). That being the case, remove some overly-aggressive error
checks from the ISOTIME cases.

Since these functions are defined in the POSIX and C99 standards, they

turns out not to be the case, more work will be needed.
On all platforms tested so far, using extra_float_digits = -1 in the

The majority of error exit cases in json_lex_string() failed to
set lex->token_terminator, causing problems for the error context
reporting code: it would see token_terminator less than token_start

could be as bad as a crash in report_json_context(). Older
versions accidentally avoided that fate; but all versions produce
error context lines that are far less useful than intended,
because they'd stop at the end of the prior token instead of
continuing to where the actually-bad input is.
To fix, invent some macros that make it less notationally painful
to do the right thing. Also add documentation about what the

Open long-lived data and WAL file descriptors with O_CLOEXEC. This flag
was introduced by SUSv4 (POSIX.1-2008), and by now all of our target
Unix systems have it. Our open() implementation for Windows already had
that behavior, so provide a dummy O_CLOEXEC flag on that platform.
For now, callers of open() and the "thin" wrappers in fd.c that deal in
raw descriptors need to pass in O_CLOEXEC explicitly if desired. This
commit does that for WAL files, and automatically for everything
accessed via VFDs including SMgrRelation and BufFile. (With more
discussion we might decide to turn it on automatically for the thin
open()-wrappers too to avoid risk of missing places that need it, but
these are typically used for short-lived descriptors where we don't
expect to fork/exec, and it's remotely possible that extensions could be
using these APIs and passing descriptors to subprograms deliberately, so
that hasn't been done here.)
Do the same for sockets and the postmaster pipe with FD_CLOEXEC. (Later
commits might use modern interfaces to remove these extra fcntl() calls
and more where possible, but we'll need them as a fallback for a couple
of systems, so do it that way in this initial commit.)
With this change, subprograms executed for archiving, copying etc will
no longer have access to the server's descriptors, other than the ones
that we decide to pass down.

Some clang versions whine about comparing an enum variable to
a value outside the range of the enum, on the grounds that the
result must be constant. In the cases we fix here, the loops
will terminate only if the enum variable can in fact hold a
value one beyond its declared range. While that's very likely
to always be true for these enum types, it still seems like a
poor coding practice to assume it; so use "int" loop variables
instead to silence the warnings. (This matches what we've done
in other places, for example loops over the range of ForkNumber.)
While at it, let's drop the XXX_FIRST macros for these enums and just
write zeroes for the loop start values. The apparent flexibility
seems rather illusory given that iterating up to one-less-than-
the-number-of-values is only correct for a zero-based range.

If asked to decrease the size of a large (>8K) palloc chunk,
AllocSetRealloc could improperly change the Valgrind state of memory
beyond the new end of the chunk: it would mark data UNDEFINED as far
as the old end of the chunk after having done the realloc(3) call,
thus tromping on the state of memory that no longer belongs to it.
One would normally expect that memory to now be marked NOACCESS,
so that this mislabeling might prevent detection of later errors.
If realloc() had chosen to move the chunk someplace else (unlikely,
but well within its rights) we could also mismark perfectly-valid
DEFINED data as UNDEFINED, causing false-positive valgrind reports
later. Also, any malloc bookkeeping data placed within this area
might now be wrongly marked, causing additional problems.
Fix by replacing relevant uses of "oldsize" with "Min(size, oldsize)".
It's sufficient to mark as far as "size" when that's smaller, because
whatever remains in the new chunk size will be marked NOACCESS below,
and we expect realloc() to have taken care of marking the memory
beyond the new official end of the chunk.
While we're here, also rename the function's "oldsize" variable
to "oldchksize" to more clearly explain what it actually holds,
namely the distance to the end of the chunk (that is, requested size
plus trailing padding). This is more consistent with the use of
"size" and "chksize" to hold the new requested size and chunk size.
Add a new variable "oldsize" in the one stanza where we're actually
talking about the old requested size.

Historically we've accepted interval input like 'P.1e10D'. This
is probably an accident of having used strtod() to do the parsing,
rather than something anyone intended, but it's been that way for
a long time. Commit e39f99046 broke this by trying to parse the
integer and fractional parts separately, without accounting for
the possibility of an exponent. In principle that coding allowed
for precise conversions of field values wider than 15 decimal
digits, but that does not seem like a goal worth sweating bullets
for. So, rather than trying to manage an exponent on top of the
existing complexity, let's just revert to the previous coding that
used strtod() by itself. We can still improve on the old code to
the extent of allowing the value to range up to 1.0e15 rather than
only INT_MAX. (Allowing more than that risks creating problems
due to precision loss: the converted fractional part might have
absolute value more than 1. Perhaps that could be dealt with in
some way, but it really does not seem worth additional effort.)

The setting of the process title could be seen on profiles of very
fast-to-execute queries. In many locations where we call
set_ps_display() we pass along a string constant, the length of which is
known during compilation. Here we effectively rename set_ps_display() to
set_ps_display_with_len() and then add a static inline function named
set_ps_display() which calls strlen() on the given string. This allows
the compiler to optimize away the strlen() call when dealing with
call sites passing a string constant. We can then also use memcpy()
instead of strlcpy() to copy the string into the destination buffer.
That's significantly faster than strlcpy's byte-at-a-time way of
copying.
Here we also take measures to improve some code which was adjusting the
process title to add a " waiting" suffix to it. Call sites which require
this can now just call set_ps_display_suffix() to add or adjust the suffix
and call set_ps_display_remove_suffix() to remove it again.

ruleutils.c blindly printed the user-given alias (or nothing if there
hadn't been one) for the target table of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries.
That works a large percentage of the time, but not always: for queries
appearing in WITH, it's possible that we chose a different alias to
avoid conflict with outer-scope names. Since the chosen alias would
be used in any Var references to the target table, this'd lead to an
inconsistent printout with consequences such as dump/restore failures.
The correct logic for printing (or not) a relation alias was embedded
in get_from_clause_item. Factor it out to a separate function so that
we don't need a jointree node to use it. (Only a limited part of that

A new callback named startup_cb, called shortly after a module is
loaded, is added. This makes possible the initialization of any
additional state data required by a module. This initial state data can
be saved in a ArchiveModuleState, that is now passed down to all the
callbacks that can be defined in a module. With this design, it is
possible to have a per-module state, aimed at opening the door to the
support of more than one archive module.
The initialization of the callbacks is changed so as
_PG_archive_module_init() does not anymore give in input a
ArchiveModuleCallbacks that a module has to fill in with callback
definitions. Instead, a module now needs to return a const
ArchiveModuleCallbacks.
All the structure and callback definitions of archive modules are moved
into their own header, named archive_module.h, from pgarch.h.
Command-based archiving follows the same line, with a new set of files
named shell_archive.{c,h}.
There are a few more items that are under discussion to improve the
design of archive modules, like the fact that basic_archive calls
sigsetjmp() by itself to define its own error handling flow. These will
be adjusted later, the changes done here cover already a good portion
of what has been discussed.
Any modules created for v15 will need to be adjusted to this new
design.

force_parallel_mode is meant to be used to allow us to exercise the
parallel query infrastructure to ensure that it's working as we expect.
It seems some users think this GUC is for forcing the query planner into
picking a parallel plan regardless of the costs. A quick look at the
documentation would have made them realize that they were wrong, but the
GUC is likely too conveniently named which, evidently, seems to often
result in users expecting that it forces the planner into usefully
parallelizing queries.
Here we rename the GUC to something which casual users are less likely to
mistakenly think is what they need to make their query run more quickly.
For now, the old name can still be used. We'll revisit if the old name
mapping can be removed once the buildfarm configs are all updated.

Builds on 28e626bde0 and f30d62c2fc. See the former for motivation.
Rows of the view show IO operations for a particular backend type, IO target
object, IO context combination (e.g. a client backend's operations on
permanent relations in shared buffers) and each column in the view is the
total number of IO Operations done (e.g. writes). So a cell in the view would
be, for example, the number of blocks of relation data written from shared
buffers by client backends since the last stats reset.
In anticipation of tracking WAL IO and non-block-oriented IO (such as
temporary file IO), the "op_bytes" column specifies the unit of the "reads",
"writes", and "extends" columns for a given row.
Rows for combinations of IO operation, backend type, target object and context
that never occur, are ommitted entirely. For example, checkpointer will never
operate on temporary relations.
Similarly, if an IO operation never occurs for such a combination, the IO
operation's cell will be null, to distinguish from 0 observed IO
operations. For example, bgwriter should not perform reads.
Note that some of the cells in the view are redundant with fields in
pg_stat_bgwriter (e.g. buffers_backend). For now, these have been kept for
backwards compatibility.

This commit adds the infrastructure for more detailed IO statistics. The calls
to actually count IOs, a system view to access the new statistics,
documentation and tests will be added in subsequent commits, to make review
easier.
While we already had some IO statistics, e.g. in pg_stat_bgwriter and
pg_stat_database, they did not provide sufficient detail to understand what
the main sources of IO are, or whether configuration changes could avoid
IO. E.g., pg_stat_bgwriter.buffers_backend does contain the number of buffers
written out by a backend, but as that includes extending relations (always
done by backends) and writes triggered by the use of buffer access strategies,
it cannot easily be used to tune background writer or checkpointer. Similarly,
pg_stat_database.blks_read cannot easily be used to tune shared_buffers /
compute a cache hit ratio, as the use of buffer access strategies will often
prevent a large fraction of the read blocks to end up in shared_buffers.
The new IO statistics count IO operations (evict, extend, fsync, read, reuse,
and write), and are aggregated for each combination of backend type (backend,
autovacuum worker, bgwriter, etc), target object of the IO (relations, temp
relations) and context of the IO (normal, vacuum, bulkread, bulkwrite).
What is tracked in this series of patches, is sufficient to perform the
aforementioned analyses. Further details, e.g. tracking the number of buffer
hits, would make that even easier, but was left out for now, to keep the scope
of the already large patchset manageable.

Note that GUCs marked with GUC_NO_SHOW_ALL are not listed under
pg_settings or SHOW ALL (still they can be queried individually), making
them unfit for checks via SQL queries in the regression tests that do a

incorrect about that, and will be cleaned up in a separate commit. We
have also discussed the possibility to extend the SQL functions for GUCs

that would cause it to fail under different circumstances, such as
with log10val2 <= 0, or log10val2 a multiple of 4, or in the "slow"

None of those could be triggered by any of our current code, which
only uses log10val2 = 3 or 6. However, they made it a hazard for any

Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value
of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice
predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty
bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on
where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join.
So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not
represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for
the planner.
To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing
which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled
them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears.
This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value.
A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases
where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it
work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars
receive similar decoration for the same reason.
In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids
that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also
add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows
us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above
or below a particular outer join.
This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must*
follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the
core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide)
they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join.
To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as
base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by
the core planner.
Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to
install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again.
Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions
and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.)

read and apply them at the end of the transaction.
We discussed exposing this parameter as a subscription option but
it did not seem advisable since it is primarily used for testing/debugging

We'd like to use TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds with the stop_time

than LONG_MAX seems appropriate, because the function is already
described as being intended for calculating wait times for WaitLatch

Also, this choice gets rid of cross-platform behavioral differences.)
Having done that, we can replace some ad-hoc code in walreceiver.c

While at it, fix some buglets in existing callers of

Eager freezing strategy avoids large build-ups of all-visible pages. It
makes VACUUM trigger page-level freezing whenever doing so will enable
the page to become all-frozen in the visibility map. This is useful for
tables that experience continual growth, particularly strict append-only
tables such as pgbench's history table. Eager freezing significantly
improves performance stability by spreading out the cost of freezing
over time, rather than doing most freezing during aggressive VACUUMs.
It complements the insert autovacuum mechanism added by commit b07642db.
VACUUM determines its freezing strategy based on the value of the new
vacuum_freeze_strategy_threshold GUC (or reloption) with logged tables.
Tables that exceed the size threshold use the eager freezing strategy.
Unlogged tables and temp tables always use eager freezing strategy,
since the added cost is negligible there. Non-permanent relations won't
incur any extra overhead in WAL written (for the obvious reason), nor in
pages dirtied (since any extra freezing will only take place on pages
whose PD_ALL_VISIBLE bit needed to be set either way).
VACUUM uses lazy freezing strategy for logged tables that fall under the
GUC size threshold. Page-level freezing triggers based on the criteria
established in commit 1de58df4, which added basic page-level freezing.
Eager freezing is strictly more aggressive than lazy freezing. Settings
like vacuum_freeze_min_age still get applied in just the same way in
every VACUUM, independent of the strategy in use. The only mechanical
difference between eager and lazy freezing strategies is that only the
former applies its own additional criteria to trigger freezing pages.
Note that even lazy freezing strategy will trigger freezing whenever a
page happens to have required that an FPI be written during pruning,
provided that the page will thereby become all-frozen in the visibility
map afterwards (due to the FPI optimization from commit 1de58df4).
The vacuum_freeze_strategy_threshold default setting is 4GB. This is a
relatively low setting that prioritizes performance stability. It will
be reviewed at the end of the Postgres 16 beta period.

This adjusts a few places which were appending a string constant
containing spaces onto a StringInfo. We have appendStringInfoSpaces for
that job, so let's use that instead.
For the change to jsonb.c's add_indent() function, appendStringInfoString
was being called inside a loop to append 4 spaces on each loop. This
meant that enlargeStringInfo would get called once per loop. Here it
should be much more efficient to get rid of the loop and just calculate
the number of spaces with "level * 4" and just append all the spaces in
one go.
Here we additionally adjust the appendStringInfoSpaces function so it
makes use of memset rather than a while loop to apply the required spaces
to the StringInfo. One of the problems with the while loop was that it
was incrementing one variable and decrementing another variable once per
loop. That's more work than what's required to get the job done. We may
as well use memset for this rather than trying to optimize the existing
loop. Some testing has shown memset is faster even for very small sizes.

This patch largely reverts what I did in commits c9b0c678d and
78e73e875. The maximum cover length limit that I added in 78e73e875
(to band-aid over c9b0c678d's performance issues) creates too many
user-visible behavior discrepancies, as complained of for example in
bug #17691. The real problem with hlCover() is not what I thought
at the time, but more that it seems to have been designed with only
AND tsquery semantics in mind. It doesn't work quite right for OR,
and even less so for NOT or phrase queries. However, we can improve
that situation by building a variant of TS_execute() that returns a
list of match locations. We already get an ExecPhraseData struct
representing match locations for the primitive case of a simple match,
as well as one for a phrase match; we just need to add some logic to
combine these for AND and OR operators. The result is a list of
ExecPhraseDatas, which hlCover can regard as having simple AND
semantics, so that its old algorithm works correctly.
There's still a lot not to like about ts_headline's behavior, but
I think the remaining issues have to do with the heuristics used
in mark_hl_words and mark_hl_fragments (which, likewise, were not
revisited when phrase search was added). Improving those is a task
for another day.

timing of checkpoints depending on the volume of WAL generated.
Most users tend to leave checkpoint_completion_target at 0.9 to smooth
the I/O workload, which is why I guess this has gone unnoticed for so
long, still it can be useful to tweak and reload the value dynamically
in some cases to control the timing of checkpoints.

The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions
that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries
into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite
vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the
view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can
re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan)
and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time
permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain
these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we
convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of
extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on
the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from
one place to another.
The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small
saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs
no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable
names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results
in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs,
which are all to the good IMO.
Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of
RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in
stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite)
they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make
sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel
workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields
after startup, but someday it might.
This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference
from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to
AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass
despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

Add leader_pid to pg_stat_subscription. leader_pid is the process ID of
the leader apply worker if this process is a parallel apply worker. If
this field is NULL, it indicates that the process is a leader apply
worker or a synchronization worker. The new column makes it easier to
distinguish parallel apply workers from other kinds of workers and helps
to identify the leader for the parallel workers corresponding to a
particular subscription.
Additionally, update the leader_pid column in pg_stat_activity as well to
display the PID of the leader apply worker for parallel apply workers.

Most callers of BufFileRead() want to check whether they read the full
specified length. Checking this at every call site is very tedious.
This patch provides additional variants BufFileReadExact() and
BufFileReadMaybeEOF() that include the length checks.
I considered changing BufFileRead() itself, but this function is also
used in extensions, and so changing the behavior like this would
create a lot of problems there. The new names are analogous to the
existing LogicalTapeReadExact().

While system_user was stored as an AuthToken in IdentLine, pg_user was
stored as a plain string. This commit changes the code as we start
storing pg_user as an AuthToken too.
This does not have any functional changes, as all the operations on
pg_user only use the string from the AuthToken. There is no regexp
compiled and no check based on its quoting, yet. This is in preparation
of more features that intend to extend its capabilities, like support
for regexps and group membership.

int2vectorin limited the number of array elements it'd take to
FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which is probably fine for the traditional use-cases.
But now that pg_publication_rel.prattrs is an int2vector, it's not
fine at all: it's easy to construct cases where that can have up to
about MaxTupleAttributeNumber entries. Trying to replicate such
tables leads to logical-replication failures.
As long as we have to touch this code anyway, let's just remove
the a-priori limit altogether, and let it accept any size that'll
be allowed by repalloc. (Note that since int2vector isn't toastable,
we cannot store arrays longer than about BLCKSZ/2; but there is no
good excuse for letting int2vectorin depend on that. Perhaps we
will lift the no-toast restriction someday.)
While at it, also improve the equivalent logic in oidvectorin.
I don't know of any practical use-case for long oidvectors right
now, but doing it right actually makes the code shorter.

The current jsonpath code assumes that the referenced variable always exists.
It could only throw an error at the value valuation time. At the same time
existence checking assumes variable is present without valuation, and error
suppression doesn't work for missing variables.
This commit makes existense checking trigger an error for missing variables.
This makes the overall behavior consistent.

The code that handles authentication for user maps was pretty confusing
with its choice of variable names. It involves two types of users: a
system user and a Postgres user (well, role), and these were not named
consistently throughout the code that processes the user maps loaded
from pg_ident.conf at authentication.
This commit changes the following things to improve the situation:
- Rename "pg_role" to "pg_user" and "token" to "system_user" in
IndetLine. These choices are more consistent with the pg_ident.conf
example in the docs, as well. "token" has been introduced recently in
fc579e1, and it is way worse than the choice before that, "ident_user".
- Switch the order of the fields in IdentLine to map with the order of
the items in the ident files, as of map name, system user and PG user.
- In check_ident_usermap(), rename "regexp_pgrole" to "expanded_pg_user"
when processing a regexp for the system user entry in a user map. This
variable does not store a regular expression at all: it would be either
a string or a substitution to \1 if the Postgres role is specified as
such.

This reverts commit 1b4d280ea1.
It's broken the buildfarm members that run cross-version-upgrade tests,
because they're not prepared to deal with cosmetic differences between
CREATE VIEW commands emitted by older servers and HEAD. Even if we had
a solution to that, which we don't, it'd take some time to roll it out
to the affected animals. This improvement isn't valuable enough to
justify addressing that problem on an emergency basis, so revert it
for now.
Switch to a design similar to regular backends, instead of the previous
arrangement where signal handlers did non-trivial state management and
called fork(). The main changes are:
* The postmaster now has its own local latch to wait on. (For now, we
don't want other backends setting its latch directly, but that could
probably be made to work with more research on robustness.)
* The existing signal handlers are cut in two: a handle_pm_XXX() part
that just sets pending_pm_XXX flags and the latch, and a
process_pm_XXX() part that runs later when the latch is seen.
* Signal handlers are now installed with the regular pqsignal()
function rather than the special pqsignal_pm() function; historical
portability concerns about the effect of SA_RESTART on select() are no
longer relevant, and we don't need to block signals anymore.

Can be set to the empty string, or to either or both of "set" or
"inherit". If set to a non-empty value, a non-superuser who creates
a role (necessarily by relying up the CREATEROLE privilege) will
grant that role back to themselves with the specified options.
This isn't a security feature, because the grant that this feature
triggers can also be performed explicitly. Instead, it's a user experience
feature. A superuser would necessarily inherit the privileges of any
created role and be able to access all such roles via SET ROLE;
with this patch, you can configure createrole_self_grant = 'set, inherit'
to provide a similar experience for a user who has CREATEROLE but not
SUPERUSER.

This allows left join removals and unique joins to work with partitioned

Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in
multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon
logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply
worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the
commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To
improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to
be applied via parallel workers.
In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as
soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker
will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply
worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary
files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to
send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to
"partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all
remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking
way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel
apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the
transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at
commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading
from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker
available.
This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the
user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel
apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming
parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means
the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available.
The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled
to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour).
In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT
message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be
used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the
streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed
to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for
publications on servers < PG16.

GIN index scans were not taking any descent CPU-based cost into account. That
made them look cheaper than other types of indexes when they shouldn't be.
We use the same heuristic as for btree indexes, but multiply it by the number
of searched entries.
Additionally, the CPU cost for the tree was based largely on a
genericcostestimate. For a GIN index, we should not charge index quals per
tuple, but per entry. On top of this, charge cpu_index_tuple_cost per actual
tuple.
This should fix the cases where a GIN index is preferred over a btree and
the ones where a memoize node is not added on top of the GIN index scan
because it seemed too cheap.
We don't packpatch this to evade unexpected plan changes in stable versions.
