Tom Lane 4d225ba0e6 Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.
Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures.  Aggregates
failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message.
Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference.
Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do
transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the
point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no
bugs lurk in that path.  Given the lack of testing of this area,
it seems safest to be conservative in what we support.

Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't
support returning a set.

Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID
isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves.

Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.
Back-patch to all supported branches.  (The procedure angle
only applies in v11+, of course.)

Tom Lane bbcfee0e56 Fix some more omissions in pg_upgrade's tests for non-upgradable types.
Commits 29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking
for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and
ranges.  However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that
there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c.  (The division
of responsibility between those files is less than clear...)

In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated
rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that
the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is
non-upgradable.  It seems unlikely that someone would have a user
column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another
PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks
to the type OID embedded in composite Datums.

To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive
query that does the search to allow any base query that returns
a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one
starting type.

As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

Attempting to use this function with event triggers failed, as, since
its introduction in a676201, this code has never associated an object

event trigger name to the set defining its object address.

Note that regression tests are added within event_trigger and not
object_address to avoid issues with concurrent connections in parallel

Fujii Masao 8019fcb00f doc: Fix obsolete description about pg_basebackup.
Previously it was documented that if using "-X none" option there was
no guarantee that all required WAL files were archived at the end of
pg_basebackup when taking a backup from the standby. But this limitation
was removed by commit 52f8a59dd9. Now, even when taking a backup
from the standby, pg_basebackup can wait for all required WAL files
to be archived. Therefore this commit removes such obsolete
description from the docs.

Also this commit adds new description about the limitation when
taking a backup from the standby, into the docs. The limitation is that
pg_basebackup cannot force the standbfy to switch to a new WAL file
at the end of backup, which may cause pg_basebackup to wait a long
time for the last required WAL file to be switched and archived,
especially when write activity on the primary is low.

Back-patch to v10 where the issue was introduced.

Tom Lane a71cfc56bf Fix bugs in RETURNING in cross-partition UPDATE cases.
If the source and destination partitions don't have identical
rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks),
then the planSlot contents will be different because of that.
If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk
columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that
were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers.
That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the
destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that
partition's subplan.

The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination
tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the
RETURNING list generated for the source partition.  This avoids making
fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans
generated all the resjunk columns in the same order.

This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE.
The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions
aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about
making the conversion efficient.

There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit 86dc90056 got rid of
per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot.
Hence, patch v11-v13 only.

Tom Lane 7bfba4f193 Fix planner failure in some cases of sorting by an aggregate.
An oversight introduced by the incremental-sort patches caused
"could not find pathkey item to sort" errors in some situations
where a sort key involves an aggregate or window function.

The basic problem here is that find_em_expr_usable_for_sorting_rel
isn't properly modeling what prepare_sort_from_pathkeys will do
later.  Rather than hoping we can keep those functions in sync,
let's refactor so that they actually share the code for
identifying a suitable sort expression.

With this refactoring, tlist.c's tlist_member_ignore_relabel
is unused.  I removed it in HEAD but left it in place in v13,
in case any extensions are using it.

Andrew Dunstan e480c6dd33 Allow TestLib::slurp_file to skip contents, and use as needed
In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

Tom Lane c39aa1e878 Fix some inappropriately-disallowed uses of ALTER ROLE/DATABASE SET.
Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks
that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues
when source == PGC_S_TEST.  This allows, for example,
"ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo"
configuration hasn't been created yet.  Without this, we have problems
during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about
possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore
ordering.

However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten
the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway.  It's not
entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y",
but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing
an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it.

Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks
with similar needs.  (But I did not change their insistence on
being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting
either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.)

Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease
of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST.
A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues
of this ilk.  (There are a lot of interdependencies among
PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but
they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be
set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

Tom Lane 97b7ad4688 Redesign the caching done by get_cached_rowtype().
Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree
using the tupdesc was destroyed.  This worked fine when it was designed,
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it.  The refcount
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first
commit) until the DO block is exited.  That results in a warning about
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.

To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry.  Those
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the
pointer becoming stale.  (For registered RECORD types, we can still
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the
life of the backend.)  This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql
and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well.

This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for
back-patching.  However, there seems no good reason for extensions
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.

Per report from Rohit Bhogate.  Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block
COMMITs became a thing.

Tom Lane 37e76546a2 Avoid improbable PANIC during heap_update.
heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on
the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different).
Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate
visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock;
which creates a race condition since someone else could set the
flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock.  The code is
supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring
buffer lock and retrying if it became set.  However, one code
path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine
RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this.  The end result,
in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag
while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring
"PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure.

This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM
changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag
while holding only exclusive buffer lock.  Previously, the flag
was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which
would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag
from becoming set partway through heap_update.  However, it's
clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here.

What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs
in released branches.  heap_update is certainly violating API
expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible
without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug.  That's not
100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions
or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths.

I chose to back-patch to v12.  Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple
before that would require also back-patching portions of older
fixes (notably 0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems
prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

newtup->t_self, which will be updated during the execution of the

Tom Lane 8a7bd1e6cb Fix old bug with coercing the result of a COLLATE expression.
There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion
to below any CollateExpr that may appear.  However, we did that even
if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid
expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable
type.  The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning
that it's useless.

This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of
COLLATE support.  The lack of field complaints suggests that there
aren't a lot of user-visible consequences.  We noticed the problem
because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if
the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however,
in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect)
complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type.  I found
that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could
make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added
regression test case.  But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time,
so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences.

Amit Kapila 48d4a8c88b Allocate access strategy in parallel VACUUM workers.
Currently, parallel vacuum workers don't use any buffer access strategy.
We can fix it either by propagating the access strategy from a leader or
allow each worker to use BAS_VACUUM access strategy type. We don't see
much use in propagating this information from leader as both leader and
workers are supposed to use the same strategy. We might want to use a
different access strategy for leader and workers but that would be a
separate optimization not suitable for back-branches. This has been fixed

Michael Paquier be79debd96 Fix out-of-bound memory access for interval -> char conversion
Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a

where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses.  The
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.

This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more
consistent behavior:
- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with
-1 meaning December, -2 November, etc.

Tomas Vondra 1aad1d181d Don't add non-existent pages to bitmap from BRIN
The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range
to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the
pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with
an error like this:

  ERROR:  could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block
          262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks

In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages),
but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd
segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is
incomplete, and fails.

Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because:

* Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges
  align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end).

* The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being
  almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the
  last page range actually crosses the segment boundary.

* Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that
  pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older
  releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first
  non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient
  to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue.
  Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch
  distance does not matter.

Fixed by not adding non-existent pages to the TID bitmap. Backpatch
all the way back to 9.6 (BRIN indexes were introduced in 9.5, but that
release is EOL).

and some locks the tracked transactions were holding could not be released.
At this situation, if other process was invoked and the PGPROC entry that

Tom Lane fd91fed3e8 Fix more confusion in SP-GiST.
spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf
datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that
value is of completely the wrong type.

In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did
nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit
2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would
unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype
parameters.  Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not
going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until
I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1.

Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're
actually going to return it later.  This saves cycles and dodges
the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right
type.  Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return
data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against
somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future.

It seems like a good idea to back-patch these two changes into
v12 and v13, although I'm afraid to change spgNewHeapItem's
mistaken idea of which datatype to use in those branches.

Per buildfarm results from ac9099fc1.

Fujii Masao 104164361c pg_checksums: Fix progress reporting.
pg_checksums uses two counters, total size and current size,
to calculate the progress. Previously the progress that
pg_checksums reported could not reach 100% at the end.
The cause of this issue was that the sizes of only pages excluding
new ones in each file were counted as the current size
while the size of each file is counted as the total size.
That is, the total size of all new pages could be reported
as the difference between the total size and current size.

This commit fixes this issue by making pg_checksums count
the sizes of all pages including new ones in each file as
the current size.

Back-patch to v12 where progress reporting was added to pg_checksums.

Michael Paquier f8c2d49123 doc: Clarify how to generate backup files with non-exclusive backups
The current instructions describing how to write the backup_label and
tablespace_map files are confusing.  For example, opening a file in text
mode on Windows and copy-pasting the file's contents would result in a
failure at recovery because of the extra CRLF characters generated.  The
documentation was not stating that clearly, and per discussion this is
not considered as a supported scenario.

This commit extends a bit the documentation to mention that it may be
required to open the file in binary mode before writing its data.

Michael Paquier 89937d0012 Improve stability of test with vacuum_truncate in reloptions.sql
This test has been using a simple VACUUM with pg_relation_size() to
check if a relation gets physically truncated or not, but forgot the
fact that some concurrent activity, like checkpoint buffer writes, could
cause some pages to be skipped.  The second test enabling
vacuum_truncate could fail, seeing a non-empty relation.  The first test
would not have failed, but could finish by testing a behavior different
than the one aimed for.  Both tests gain a FREEZE option, to make the
vacuums more aggressive and prevent page skips.

This is similar to the issues fixed in c2dc1a7.

Tom Lane 35421a470d Fix pg_restore's misdesigned code for detecting archive file format.
Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code
segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be
in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of
the sanity checks in the former.  We'd missed noticing this partly
because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily
test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both
segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to
autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source.  However,
in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying
to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable
stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would
likely dump core or otherwise misbehave.

The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason
to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the
file starts with "PGDMP".  There seems to have been an undocumented
assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require
separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen
fields of the custom-format header.  This seems unlikely, so let's
fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat().

Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of
the file after successful autodetection.  That wastes cycles and
it means we have four behaviors to verify not two.

Per bug #16951 from Sergey Koposov.  This has been broken for
decades, so back-patch to all supported versions.

Stephen Frost 89e383b30a Add a docs section for obsoleted and renamed functions and settings
The new appendix groups information on renamed or removed settings,
commands, etc into an out-of-the-way part of the docs.

The original id elements are retained in each subsection to ensure that
the same filenames are produced for HTML docs. This prevents /current/
links on the web from breaking, and allows users of the web docs
to follow links from old version pages to info on the changes in the
new version. Prior to this change, a link to /current/ for renamed
sections like the recovery.conf docs would just 404. Similarly if
someone searched for recovery.conf they would find the pg11 docs,
but there would be no /12/ or /current/ link, so they couldn't easily
find out that it was removed in pg12 or how to adapt.

Index entries are also added so that there's a breadcrumb trail for
users to follow when they know the old name, but not what we changed it
to. So a user who is trying to find out how to set standby_mode in
PostgreSQL 12+, or where pg_resetxlog went, now has more chance of
finding that information.

Tom Lane c6eac71a88 Fix psql's \connect command some more.
Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit
85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the
expected results.  The reason is that starting from the output of
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the
normal priority is the other way around.

Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix
it that way.  But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the
default values for just a couple more lines of code.

This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on
service=whatever".  That remains significantly different from before
85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus
not be possible for service entries to replace.  But I think this
is (mostly?) intentional.  In any case, since libpq does not report
where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently.

Per bug #16936 from Jasen Betts.  As with the previous patches,
back-patch to all supported branches.  (9.5 is unfortunately now
out of support, so this won't get fixed there.)

Tom Lane d4791ac35c Avoid possible crash while finishing up a heap rewrite.
end_heap_rewrite was not careful to ensure that the target relation
is open at the smgr level before performing its final smgrimmedsync.
In ordinary cases this is no problem, because it would have been
opened earlier during the rewrite.  However a crash can be reproduced
by re-clustering an empty table with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled.

Although that exact scenario does not crash in v13, I think that's
a chance result of unrelated planner changes, and the problem is
likely still reachable with other test cases.  The true proximate
cause of this failure is commit c6b92041d, which replaced a call to
heap_sync (which was careful about opening smgr) with a direct call
to smgrimmedsync.  Hence, back-patch to v13.

Amul Sul, per report from Neha Sharma; cosmetic changes
and test case by me.
