When partitioned tables were introduced, we failed to realize that by
copying the tablespace handling for other relation kinds with no
physical storage we were causing the secondary effect that their
partitions would not automatically inherit the tablespace setting. This
is surprising and unhelpful, so change it to adopt the behavior
introduced in pg11 (commit 33e6c34c32) for partitioned indexes: the
parent relation remembers the tablespace specification, which is then
used for any new partitions that don't declare one.
Because this commit changes behavior of the TABLESPACE clause for
partitioned tables (it's no longer a no-op), it is not backpatched.

the previous test with a better name for the renamed primary key.
Detected by buildfarm member prion which forces relation cache release
with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. Back-patch down to 9.4 as the previous

When a constraint gets renamed, it may have associated with it a target
relation (for example domain constraints don't have one). Not
invalidating the target relation cache when issuing the renaming can
result in issues with subsequent commands that refer to the old
constraint name using the relation cache, causing various failures. One
pattern spotted was using CREATE TABLE LIKE after a constraint
renaming.

At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3)
for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers. We hadn't gotten
the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array,
which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it.
Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.
To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric
signal number too, so no need to work harder than that.
Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting
to match the rest of the system.

reap_child() basically ignored the possibility of either an error in
waitpid() itself or a child process failure on signal. We don't really
need to do more than report and crash hard, but proceeding as though
nothing is wrong is definitely Not Acceptable. The error report for
nonzero child exit status was pretty off-point, as well.
Noted while fooling around with child-process failure detection
logic elsewhere. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to
all supported branches.
Commit ffa4cbd62 added logic to detect SIGPIPE failure of a COPY child
process, but it only worked correctly if the SIGPIPE occurred in the
immediate child process. Depending on the shell in use and the
complexity of the shell command string, we might instead get back
an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit
reporting SIGPIPE in the child process.
We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case,
but it seems like this is a fairly general issue deserving a more
general and better-documented solution. I chose to add a couple
of functions in src/common/wait_error.c, which is a natural place
to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a
specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure.
Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type
to use the common functions.
In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether
the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before,
that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself
or reported a child process failing on SIGTERM.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to v10; we could go further
but there seems no real need to.

When we first put in collations support, we basically punted on teaching
pg_statistic, ANALYZE, and the planner selectivity functions about that.
They've just used DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID independently of the actual
collation of the data. It's time to improve that, so:
* Add columns to pg_statistic that record the specific collation associated
with each statistics slot.
* Teach ANALYZE to use the column's actual collation when comparing values
for statistical purposes, and record this in the appropriate slot. (Note
that type-specific typanalyze functions are now expected to fill
stats->stacoll with the appropriate collation, too.)
* Teach assorted selectivity functions to use the actual collation of
the stats they are looking at, instead of just assuming it's
DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID.
This should give noticeably better results in selectivity estimates for
columns with nondefault collations, at least for query clauses that use
that same collation (which would be the default behavior in most cases).
It's still true that comparisons with explicit COLLATE clauses different
from the stored data's collation won't be well-estimated, but that's no
worse than before. Also, this patch does make the first step towards
doing better with that, which is that it's now theoretically possible to
collect stats for a collation other than the column's own collation.
Patch by me; thanks to Peter Eisentraut for review.

The changes I made in 578b229718 assigned oids below
FirstBootstrapObjectId to objects in include/catalog/*.dat files that
did not have an oid assigned, starting at the max oid explicitly
assigned. Tom criticized that for mainly two reasons:
1) It's not clear which values are manually and which explicitly
assigned.
2) The space below FirstBootstrapObjectId gets pretty crowded, and
some PostgreSQL forks have used oids >= 9000 for their own objects,
to avoid conflicting.
Thus create a new range for objects not assigned explicit oids, but
assigned by genbki.pl. For now 1-9999 is for explicitly assigned oids,
FirstGenbkiObjectId (10000) to FirstBootstrapObjectId (1200) -1 is for
genbki.pl assigned oids, and < FirstNormalObjectId (16384) is for oids
assigned during bootstrap. It's possible that we'll have to adjust
these boundaries, but there's some headroom for now.

The idea here is to not call recordDependencyOn for the default collation,
since we know that's pinned. But what the code actually did was to record
the partition key's dependency on the opclass twice, instead.
Evidently introduced by sloppy coding in commit 2186b608b. Back-patch
to v10 where that came in.
If a domain has no constraints, then CoerceToDomain doesn't really do
anything and can be simplified to a RelabelType. This not only
eliminates cycles at execution, but allows the planner to optimize better
(for instance, match the coerced expression to an index on the underlying
column). However, we do have to support invalidating the plan later if
a constraint gets added to the domain. That's comparable to the case of
a change to a SQL function that had been inlined into a plan, so all the
necessary logic already exists for plans depending on functions. We
need only duplicate or share that logic for domains.
ALTER DOMAIN ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT need to be taught to send out sinval
messages for the domain's pg_type entry, since those operations don't
update that row. (ALTER DOMAIN SET/DROP NOT NULL do update that row,
so no code change is needed for them.)
Testing this revealed what's really a pre-existing bug in plpgsql:
it caches the SQL-expression-tree expansion of type coercions and
had no provision for invalidating entries in that cache. Up to now
that was only a problem if such an expression had inlined a SQL
function that got changed, which is unlikely though not impossible.
But failing to track changes of domain constraints breaks an existing
regression test case and would likely cause practical problems too.
We could fix that locally in plpgsql, but what seems like a better
idea is to build some generic infrastructure in plancache.c to store
standalone expressions and track invalidation events for them.
(It's tempting to wonder whether plpgsql's "simple expression" stuff
could use this code with lower overhead than its current use of the
heavyweight plancache APIs. But I've left that idea for later.)
Other stuff fixed in passing:
* Allow estimate_expression_value() to drop CoerceToDomain
unconditionally, effectively assuming that the coercion will succeed.
This will improve planner selectivity estimates for cases involving
estimatable expressions that are coerced to domains. We could have
done this independently of everything else here, but there wasn't
previously any need for eval_const_expressions_mutator to know about
CoerceToDomain at all.
* Use a dlist for plancache.c's list of cached plans, rather than a
manually threaded singly-linked list. That eliminates a potential
performance problem in DropCachedPlan.
* Fix a couple of inconsistencies in typecmds.c about whether
operations on domains drop RowExclusiveLock on pg_type. Our common
practice is that DDL operations do drop catalog locks, so standardize
on that choice.

When GIN vacuum deletes a posting tree page, it assumes that no concurrent
searchers can access it, thanks to ginStepRight() locking two pages at once.
However, since 9.4 searches can skip parts of posting trees descending from the
root. That leads to the risk that page is deleted and reclaimed before
concurrent search can access it.
This commit prevents the risk of above by waiting for every transaction, which
might wait to reference this page, to finish. Due to binary compatibility
we can't change GinPageOpaqueData to store corresponding transaction id.

Original lock order was: page, parent, left sibling. That lock order can

postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the

Our support for multiple-set-clauses in UPDATE assumes that the Params
referencing a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlan will appear before that SubPlan
in the targetlist of the plan node that calculates the updated row.
(Yeah, it's a hack...) In some PG branches it's possible that a Result
node gets inserted between the primary calculation of the update tlist
and the ModifyTable node. setrefs.c did the wrong thing in this case
and left the upper-level Params as Params, causing a crash at runtime.
What it should do is replace them with "outer" Vars referencing the child
plan node's output. That's a result of careless ordering of operations
in fix_upper_expr_mutator, so we can fix it just by reordering the code.
Fix fix_join_expr_mutator similarly for consistency, even though join
nodes could never appear in such a context. (In general, it seems
likely to be a bit cheaper to use Vars than Params in such situations
anyway, so this patch might offer a tiny performance improvement.)
The hazard extends back to 9.5 where the MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK stuff
was introduced, so back-patch that far. However, this may be a live
bug only in 9.6.x and 10.x, as the other branches don't seem to want
to calculate the final tlist below the Result node. (That plan shape
change between branches might be a mini-bug in itself, but I'm not
really interested in digging into the reasons for that right now.
Still, add a regression test memorializing what we expect there,
so we'll notice if it changes again.)

In toast_fetch_datum_slice(), we Assert() that what is passed in isn't

what was passed in is compressed. That later check is rather confusing
since toast_fetch_datum_slice() is only ever called with non-compressed

passing in compressed datums.
Add a comment to make it clear that toast_fetch_datum_slice() is just

When a WAL segment is recycled, its ".ready" and ".done" status files
get also automatically removed, however this is not done in a durable
manner. Hence, in a subsequent crash, it could be possible that a
".ready" status file is still around with its corresponding segment
already gone.
If the backend reaches such a state, the archive command would most
likely complain about a segment non-existing and would keep retrying,
causing WAL segments to bloat pg_wal/, potentially making Postgres crash
hard when running out of space.
As status files are removed after each individual segment, using
durable_unlink() does not completely close the window either, as a crash
could happen between the moment the WAL segment is recycled and the
moment its status files are removed. This has also some performance
impact with the additional fsync() calls needed to make the removal in a
durable manner. Doing the cleanup at recovery is not cost-free either
as this makes crash recovery potentially take longer than necessary.
So, instead, as per an idea of Stephen Frost, make the archiver aware of
orphan status files and remove them on-the-fly if the corresponding
segment goes missing. Removal failures follow a model close to what
happens for WAL segments, where multiple attempts are done before giving
up temporarily, and where a successful orphan removal makes the archiver
move immediately to the next WAL segment thought as ready to be
archived.

This was safe enough when written, but commit d42358efb added code below
that that supposed "rel" still pointed to the parent table. Therefore,
the stats counter update was applied to the wrong relcache entry (the
toast rel not the user rel); and if we were unlucky and that relcache
entry had been flushed during reindex_relation, very bad things could
ensue.

When an indexes is created on a partitioned table using ONLY (don't

are attached for each table partition. But there's no reason to do this
if there are no partitions ... and moreover, there's no way to get the
index to become valid afterwards, because all partitions that get
created/attached get their own index partition already attached to the
parent index, so there's no chance to do ALTER INDEX ... ATTACH PARTITION
that would make the parent index valid.
Fix by not marking the index as invalid to begin with.

since estimate_path_cost_size factors in these to estimate the result size

- ISOLATION, to define a list of isolation tests.
- ISOLATION_OPTS, to pass custom options to isolation_tester.
A couple of custom Makefile rules have been accumulated across the tree
to cover the lack of facility in PGXS for a couple of releases when
using those test suites, which are all now replaced with the new flags,
without reducing the test coverage. Note that tests of contrib/bloom/
are not enabled yet, as those are proving unstable in the buildfarm.

Re-making ecpglib's typename.o is dangerous because another make thread
could be doing that at the same time. While we've not heard field
complaints traceable to this, it seems inevitable that it'd bite someone
eventually. Instead, symlink typename.c into the preproc directory and
recompile it there. That file is small enough that compiling it twice
isn't much of a penalty. Furthermore, this way we get a .o file that's
made without shlib CFLAGS, which seems cleaner.
This requires adding more stuff to the module's -I list. The MSVC
aspect of that is untested, but I'm sure the buildfarm will tell me
if I got it wrong.
Per a suggestion from Peter Eisentraut. Although this is theoretically
a bug fix, the lack of field reports makes me feel we needn't back-patch.
