Values in a STATISTIC_KIND_RANGE_LENGTH_HISTOGRAM slot are float8,
not of the type of the column the statistics are for.
This bug is at least partly the fault of sloppy specification comments
for get_attstatsslot()/free_attstatsslot(): the type OID they want is that
of the stavalues entries, not of the underlying column. (I double-checked
other callers and they seem to get this right.) Adjust the comments to be

Some selectivity estimation functions run user-supplied operators over
data obtained from pg_statistic without security checks, which allows
those operators to leak pg_statistic data without having privileges on
the underlying tables. Fix by checking that one of the following is
satisfied: (1) the user has table or column privileges on the table
underlying the pg_statistic data, or (2) the function implementing the
user-supplied operator is leak-proof. If neither is satisfied, planning
will proceed as if there are no statistics available.
At least one of these is satisfied in most cases in practice. The only
situations that are negatively impacted are user-defined or
not-leak-proof operators on a security-barrier view.

Storing passwords in plaintext hasn't been a good idea for a very long
time, if ever. Now seems like a good time to finally forbid it, since we're
messing with this in PostgreSQL 10 anyway.
Remove the CREATE/ALTER USER UNENCRYPTED PASSSWORD 'foo' syntax, since
storing passwords unencrypted is no longer supported. ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'foo' is still accepted, but ENCRYPTED is now just a noise-word, it does
the same as just PASSWORD 'foo'.
Likewise, remove the --unencrypted option from createuser, but accept
--encrypted as a no-op for backward compatibility. AFAICS, --encrypted was
a no-op even before this patch, because createuser encrypted the password
before sending it to the server even if --encrypted was not specified. It
added the ENCRYPTED keyword to the SQL command, but since the password was
already in encrypted form, it didn't make any difference. The documentation
was not clear on whether that was intended or not, but it's moot now.
Also, while password_encryption='on' is still accepted as an alias for
'md5', it is now marked as hidden, so that it is not listed as an accepted
value in error hints, for example. That's not directly related to removing
'plain', but it seems better this way.

In the backend, this is just to silence coverity warnings, but in the
frontend, it's a genuine leak, even if extremely rare.
Spotted by Coverity, patch by Michael Paquier.
When we add the SELECT-privilege based policies to the RLS with check
options (such as for an UPDATE statement, or when we have INSERT ...
RETURNING), we need to be sure and use the 'USING' case if the policy is
actually an 'ALL' policy (which could have both a USING clause and an
independent WITH CHECK clause).
This could result in policies acting differently when built using ALL
(when the ALL had both USING and WITH CHECK clauses) and when building
the policies independently as SELECT and UPDATE policies.
Fix this by adding an explicit boolean to add_with_check_options() to
indicate when the USING policy should be used, even if the policy has
both USING and WITH CHECK policies on it.

Since 6ef2eba3f5 ("Skip checkpoints, archiving on idle systems."),
GetLastImportantRecPtr() is used to avoid performing superfluous
checkpoints, xlog switches, running-xact records when the system is
idle. Unfortunately the check concerning running-xact records had a
off-by-one error, leading to such records being potentially skipped
when only a single record has been inserted since the last
running-xact record.
An alternative approach would have been to change
GetLastImportantRecPtr()'s definition to point to the end of records,
but that would make the checkpoint code more complicated.

Backpatch: no, code only present in master
When the checkpointer writes the shutdown checkpoint, it checks
afterwards whether any WAL has been written since it started and throws
a PANIC if so. At that point, only walsenders are still active, so one
might think this could not happen, but walsenders can also generate WAL,
for instance in BASE_BACKUP and certain variants of
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT. So they can trigger this panic if such a
command is run while the shutdown checkpoint is being written.
To fix this, divide the walsender shutdown into two phases. First, the
postmaster sends a SIGUSR2 signal to all walsenders. The walsenders
then put themselves into the "stopping" state. In this state, they
reject any new commands. (For simplicity, we reject all new commands,
so that in the future we do not have to track meticulously which
commands might generate WAL.) The checkpointer waits for all walsenders
to reach this state before proceeding with the shutdown checkpoint.
After the shutdown checkpoint is done, the postmaster sends
SIGINT (previously unused) to the walsenders. This triggers the
existing shutdown behavior of sending out the shutdown checkpoint record
and then terminating.

Even before this patch, the server sent that FATAL message, after the
SCRAM-specific "e=invalid-proof" message. But libpq would stop at the
SCRAM error message, and not process the ErrorResponse that would come
after that. We could've taught libpq to check for an ErrorResponse after
failed authentication, but it's simpler to modify the server to send only
the ErrorResponse. The SCRAM specification allows for aborting the
authentication at any point, using an application-defined error mechanism,
like PostgreSQL's ErrorResponse. Using the e=invalid-proof message is
optional.

GiST's getNextNearest() function attempts to pfree the previously-returned
tuple if any (that is, scan->xs_hitup in HEAD, or scan->xs_itup in older
branches). However, if we are rescanning a plan node after ending a
previous scan early, those tuple pointers could be pointing to garbage,
because they would be pointing into the scan's pageDataCxt or queueCxt
which has been reset. In a debug build this reliably results in a crash,
although I think it might sometimes accidentally fail to fail in
production builds.
To fix, clear the pointer field anyplace we reset a context it might
be pointing into. This may be overkill --- I think probably only the
queueCxt case is involved in this bug, so that resetting in gistrescan()
would be sufficient --- but dangling pointers are generally bad news,
so let's avoid them.
Another plausible answer might be to just not bother with the pfree in
getNextNearest(). The reconstructed tuples would go away anyway in the
context resets, and I'm far from convinced that freeing them a bit earlier
really saves anything meaningful. I'll stick with the original logic in
this patch, but if we find more problems in the same area we should
consider that approach.

create_singleton_array() was not really as useful as we perhaps thought
when we added it. It had never accreted more than one call site, and is
only saving a dozen lines of code at that one, which is considerably less
bulk than the function itself. Moreover, because of its insistence on
using the caller's fn_extra cache space, it's arguably a coding hazard.
text_to_array_internal() does not currently use fn_extra in any other way,
but if it did it would be subtly broken, since the conflicting fn_extra
uses could be needed within a single query, in the seldom-tested case that
the field separator varies during the query. The same objection seems
likely to apply to any other potential caller.
The replacement code is a bit uglier, because it hardwires knowledge of
the storage parameters of type TEXT, but it's not like we haven't got
dozens or hundreds of other places that do the same. Uglier seems like
a good tradeoff for smaller, faster, and safer.

If the inner relation can be proven unique, that is it can have no more
than one matching row for any row of the outer query, then we might as
well implement the semijoin as a plain inner join, allowing substantially
more freedom to the planner. This is a form of outer join strength
reduction, but it can't be implemented in reduce_outer_joins() because
we don't have enough info about the individual relations at that stage.
Instead do it much like remove_useless_joins(): once we've built base
relations, we can make another pass over the SpecialJoinInfo list and
get rid of any entries representing reducible semijoins.
This is essentially a followon to the inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a)
and makes use of the proof machinery that that patch created. We need only
minor refactoring of innerrel_is_unique's API to support this usage.

The inner-unique patch (commit 9c7f5229a) supposed that if we're
considering a JOIN_UNIQUE_INNER join path, we can always set inner_unique
for the join, because the inner path produced by create_unique_path should
be unique relative to the outer relation. However, that's true only if
we're considering joining to the whole outer relation --- otherwise we may
be applying only some of the join quals, and so the inner path might be
non-unique from the perspective of this join. Adjust the test to only
believe that we can set inner_unique if we have the whole semijoin LHS on
the outer side.
There is more that can be done in this area, but this commit is only
intended to provide the minimal fix needed to get correct plans.

Before restarting a tablesync worker for the same relation, wait
wal_retrieve_retry_interval (currently 5s by default). This avoids
restarting failing workers in a tight loop.
We keep the last start times in a hash table last_start_times that is
separate from the table_states list, because that list is cleared out on
syscache invalidation, which happens whenever a table finishes syncing.
The hash table is kept until all tables have finished syncing.
A future project might be to unify these two and keep everything in one
data structure, but for now this is a less invasive change to accomplish
the original purpose.
For the test suite, set wal_retrieve_retry_interval to its minimum

Declarative partitioning duplicated the TypedTableElement productions,
evidently to remove the need to specify WITH OPTIONS when creating
partitions. Instead, simply make WITH OPTIONS optional in the
TypedTableElement production and remove all of the duplicate
PartitionElement-related productions. This change simplifies the
syntax and makes WITH OPTIONS optional when adding defaults, constraints
or storage parameters to columns when creating either typed tables or
partitions.
Also update pg_dump to no longer include WITH OPTIONS, since it's not
necessary, and update the documentation to reflect that WITH OPTIONS is
now optional.
Earlier commits (56e19d938d and 2bef06d516) make it cheaper to
create a logical slot if not exporting the initial snapshot. If
NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT is specified, we can skip the overhead, not just
when creating a slot via sql (which can't export snapshots). As
NOEXPORT_SNAPSHOT has only recently been introduced, this shouldn't be
backpatched.
Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical
decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from
scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present
anymore). These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a
new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full"
snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones).
The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for
catalogs and not for normal user tables. Thus the use of such a
serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being
exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data. This
would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical
slot already exists.

Backport: 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
Previously the logical replication launcher stored the last timestamp
when it started the worker, in the local variable "last_start_time",
in order to check whether wal_retrive_retry_interval elapsed since
the last startup of worker. If it has elapsed, the launcher sees
pg_subscription and starts new worker if necessary. This is for
limitting the startup of worker to once a wal_retrieve_retry_interval.
The bug was that the variable "last_start_time" was defined and
always initialized with 0 at the beginning of the launcher's main loop.
So even if it's set to the last timestamp in later phase of the loop,
it's always reset to 0. Therefore the launcher could not check
correctly whether wal_retrieve_retry_interval elapsed since
the last startup.
This patch moves the variable "last_start_time" outside the main loop
so that it will not be reset.

The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.
This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported. The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it. Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.
To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol. To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.
In a drive-by fix, fix handling of
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which

Although the postmaster doesn't currently create a self-pipe or any

conceivable that a shared_preload_libraries extension would try to

the self-pipe FDs would be inherited by forked child processes.
latch.c was entirely unprepared for such a case and could suffer an

called in the *current* process, and do the right thing if state has

Apply FD_CLOEXEC to file descriptors created in latch.c (the self-pipe,
as well as epoll event sets). This ensures that child processes spawned
in backends, the archiver, etc cannot accidentally or intentionally mess
with these FDs. It also ensures that we end up with the right state
for the self-pipe in EXEC_BACKEND processes, which otherwise wouldn't

Previously, maybe_start_bgworker() would launch at most one bgworker
process per call, on the grounds that the postmaster might otherwise
neglect its other duties for too long. However, that seems overly
conservative, especially since bad effects only become obvious when
many hundreds of bgworkers need to be launched at once. On the other
side of the coin is that the existing logic could result in substantial
delay of bgworker launches, because ServerLoop isn't guaranteed to
iterate immediately after a signal arrives. (My attempt to fix that
by using pselect(2) encountered too many portability question marks,
and in any case could not help on platforms without pselect().)
One could also question the wisdom of using an O(N^2) processing
method if the system is intended to support so many bgworkers.
As a compromise, allow that function to launch up to 100 bgworkers
per call (and in consequence, rename it to maybe_start_bgworkers).
This will allow any normal parallel-query request for workers
to be satisfied immediately during sigusr1_handler, avoiding the
question of whether ServerLoop will be able to launch more promptly.
There is talk of rewriting the postmaster to use a WaitEventSet to
avoid the signal-response-delay problem, but I'd argue that this change
should be kept even after that happens (if it ever does).

before that, but previous uses of bgworkers typically aren't as
