The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always
exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment. However,
vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this
default setup to assume that a command should always be present would
cause failures. This commit improves the detection of such external
commands as follows:
* If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it.
* If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the
current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be
portable enough).
** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}.
** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command".
Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that
we assume will always exist. Those commands are set up in the
environment only when using bincheck and taptest. The CI includes all
those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there. I
have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of
those commands.
While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and
vcregress.pl in ~v13. --with-lz4 has been added in v14~ so there is no
point to have this information in these older branches.

In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and
there's never a libldap_r. Our existing coding dealt with that
by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe.
But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions
visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular. We'd
end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r
in libpq.
Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by
probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking
for libldap_r if so. While one can imagine library setups that
this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to
occur in practice.

This reverts commit eafdf9de06

we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it,
on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT
where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used. Perhaps that
argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before
our back-branch releases. To keep our options open, restore the
status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting
one more quarter won't hurt anything.
Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case
demonstrating the usage with LIMIT. That'll at least remind us of
the issue if we forget again.

The tests added in 9f8a050f68 failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to
determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into
account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might
include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or
ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created
from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing
ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type

inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the
target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be
accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some
optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,
notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.
Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and
doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because
all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every
referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to
regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem,

Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace
structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch
improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty
by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly
by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a

CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering
against an index whose leading key is an expression. This makes it
unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the
logic that sets up SortSupport state. Affected tuplesorts output tuples
in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based
comparator was used for the leading attribute).
This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent

psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name
patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in
'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14,
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0, we
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named
'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin
Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form
db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using
them as arguments to \d.
Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so

This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that
it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the
end of recovery. This standby uses the archives of the primary to
restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from
the first standby previously promoted. In slow environments, it was
possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file
generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on
the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that
the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a
history file at all.
This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file
required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is
created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an
absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.
While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has
been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This
ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,
is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust.
This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an
effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command
calls made the test much slower.

Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid
case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a
corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages
to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation
file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a
vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup).
However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except
hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page
header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes
when going through the page internals.
This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with
all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for
SRFs when finding a new page. get_raw_page() still works the same way,
returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved. A hard
error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when
scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single
relation in one query. Tests are added for all the code paths
impacted.

heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return
ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the
requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot.
This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c0, which broke
heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function
needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible. The net
effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or
two after releasing pin on the buffer. Usually no harm would result;
but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently,
we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer
tuple version to chain up to. (It's hard to say whether this has
happened in the field. The bug was actually found thanks to a later
change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.)
The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf,
although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership
is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID.
In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch().
To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional
function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches.
In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data
will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned,
in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and
!keep_buf). This is to defend against any other callers attempting to
access non-pinned buffers. We concluded that making that change in back
branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any.
In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by
9a8ee1dc6.
