Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation
of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function). That's not
such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the
Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that
anyway. However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions,
we have a bigger problem. In the first place, those functions are
likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet.
In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info
such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only. And in
the third place, this path allows code execution during function
validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential
for security exploits. Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions
until compilation is finished.
While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions
that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that. I think that perhaps
plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds
that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms
functionality changed that. The others are more recently added and
seem to be flat-out oversights.

Backpatch: 11-, the bug was introducedin fc49e24fa
Commit 49c9d9fc unified VACUUM VERBOSE and autovacuum logging. It
neglected to remove an old vacrel field that was only used by the old
VACUUM VERBOSE, so remove it now.
The previous num_tuples approach doesn't seem to have any real advantage
over the approach VACUUM VERBOSE takes now (also the approach used by
the autovacuum logging code), which is to show new_rel_tuples.
new_rel_tuples is the possibly-estimated total number of tuples left in
the table, whereas num_tuples meant the number of tuples encountered
during the VACUUM operation, after pruning, without regard for tuples
from pages skipped via the visibility map.
In passing, reorder a related vacrel field for consistency.
The buffer argument hasn't been used since the function was first added
by commit bbb6e559c4. The sibling heap_prepare_freeze_tuple function
doesn't have such an argument either. Remove it.
realloc() will return NULL on a failed reallocation, so the destination
pointer must be inspected to avoid null pointer dereference. Further,
assigning the return value to the source pointer leak the allocation in
the case of reallocation failure. Fix by using pg_realloc instead which
has full error handling.

This makes more consistent the SRF-related checks in the area of
PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, PL/Tcl, pageinspect and some of the JSON worker
functions, making it easier to grep for the same error patterns through
the code, reducing a bit the translation work.
It is worth noting that each_worker_jsonb()/each_worker() in jsonfuncs.c
and pageinspect's brin_page_items() were doing a check on expectedDesc
that is not required as they fetch their tuple descriptor directly from
get_call_result_type(). This looks like a set of copy-paste errors that
have spread over the years.
This commit is a continuation of the changes begun in 07daca5, for any

The following set-returning functions have their logic simplified, to be
more consistent with other in-core areas:
- pg_prepared_statement()'s tuple descriptor is now created with
get_call_result_type() instead of being created from scratch, saving
from some duplication with pg_proc.dat.
- show_all_file_settings(), similarly, now uses get_call_result_type()
to build its tuple descriptor instead of creating it from scratch.
- pg_options_to_table() made use of a static routine called only once.
This commit removes this internal routine to make the function easier to
follow.
- pg_config() was using a unique logic style, doing checks on the tuple
descriptor passed down in expectedDesc, but it has no need to do so.
This switches the function to use a tuplestore with a tuple descriptor
retrieved from get_call_result_type(), instead.
This simplifies an upcoming patch aimed at refactoring the way
tuplestores are created and checked in set-returning functions, this
change making sense as its own independent cleanup by shaving some
code.

This feature adds row filtering for publication tables. When a publication
is defined or modified, an optional WHERE clause can be specified. Rows
that don't satisfy this WHERE clause will be filtered out. This allows a
set of tables to be partially replicated. The row filter is per table. A
new row filter can be added simply by specifying a WHERE clause after the
table name. The WHERE clause must be enclosed by parentheses.
The row filter WHERE clause for a table added to a publication that
publishes UPDATE and/or DELETE operations must contain only columns that
are covered by REPLICA IDENTITY. The row filter WHERE clause for a table
added to a publication that publishes INSERT can use any column. If the
row filter evaluates to NULL, it is regarded as "false". The WHERE clause
only allows simple expressions that don't have user-defined functions,
user-defined operators, user-defined types, user-defined collations,
non-immutable built-in functions, or references to system columns. These
restrictions could be addressed in the future.
If you choose to do the initial table synchronization, only data that
satisfies the row filters is copied to the subscriber. If the subscription
has several publications in which a table has been published with
different WHERE clauses, rows that satisfy ANY of the expressions will be
copied. If a subscriber is a pre-15 version, the initial table
synchronization won't use row filters even if they are defined in the
publisher.
The row filters are applied before publishing the changes. If the
subscription has several publications in which the same table has been
published with different filters (for the same publish operation), those
expressions get OR'ed together so that rows satisfying any of the
expressions will be replicated.
This means all the other filters become redundant if (a) one of the
publications have no filter at all, (b) one of the publications was
created using FOR ALL TABLES, (c) one of the publications was created
using FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA and the table belongs to that same schema.
If your publication contains a partitioned table, the publication
parameter publish_via_partition_root determines if it uses the partition's
row filter (if the parameter is false, the default) or the root
partitioned table's row filter.
Psql commands \dRp+ and \d <table-name> will display any row filters.

"regress" is a new mode added to compute_query_id aimed at facilitating
regression testing when a module computing query IDs is loaded into the
backend, like pg_stat_statements. It works the same way as "auto",
meaning that query IDs are computed if a module enables it, except that
query IDs are hidden in EXPLAIN outputs to ensure regression output
stability.
Like any GUCs of the kind (force_parallel_mode, etc.), this new
configuration can be added to an instance's postgresql.conf, or just
passed down with PGOPTIONS at command level. compute_query_id uses an
enum for its set of option values, meaning that this addition ensures
ABI compatibility.
Using this new configuration mode allows installcheck-world to pass when
running the tests on an instance with pg_stat_statements enabled,
stabilizing the test output while checking the paths doing query ID
computations.

Backpatch-through: 14
Commit 75d22069e tried to throw a warning for setting a custom GUC whose
prefix belongs to a previously-loaded extension, if there is no such GUC
defined by the extension. But that caused unstable behavior with
parallel workers, because workers don't necessarily load extensions and
GUCs in the same order their leader did. To make that work safely, we
have to completely disallow the case. We now actually remove any such
GUCs at the time of initial extension load, and then throw an error not
just a warning if you try to add one later. While this might create a
compatibility issue for a few people, the improvement in error-detection
capability seems worth it; it's hard to believe that there's any good
use-case for choosing such GUC names.
This also un-reverts 5609cc01c (Rename EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() to

When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail
with:
FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot
The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a
snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up,
init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error.
Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog
snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can
cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are
necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum
deletion, the bug becomes visible.
It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients
disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log.
Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema
or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem.
Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add
isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted
catalog data.
A future HEAD only commit will add an assertion trying to make this more
visible.

Since commit ffa2e4670, libpq accumulates text in conn->errorMessage
across a whole query cycle. In some situations, we may report more
than one error event within a cycle: the easiest case to reach is
where we report a FATAL error message from the server, and then a
bit later we detect loss of connection. Since, historically, each
error PGresult bears the entire content of conn->errorMessage,
this results in duplication of the FATAL message in any output that
concatenates the contents of the PGresults.
Accumulation in errorMessage still seems like a good idea, especially
in view of the number of places that did ad-hoc error concatenation
before ffa2e4670. So to fix this, let's track how much of
conn->errorMessage has been read out into error PGresults, and only
include new text in later PGresults. The tricky part of that is
to be sure that we never discard an error PGresult once made (else
we'd risk dropping some text, a problem much worse than duplication).
While libpq formerly did that in some code paths, a little bit of
rearrangement lets us postpone making an error PGresult at all until
we are about to return it.
A side benefit of that postponement is that it now becomes practical
to return a dummy static PGresult in cases where we hit out-of-memory
while trying to manufacture an error PGresult. This eliminates the
admittedly-very-rare case where we'd return NULL from PQgetResult,
indicating successful query completion, even though what actually
happened was an OOM failure.

As currently implemented, failure of a PGEVT_CONNRESET callback
forces the PGconn into the CONNECTION_BAD state (without closing
the socket, which is inconsistent with other failure paths), and
prevents later callbacks from being called. This seems highly
questionable, and indeed is questioned by comments in the source.
Instead, let's just ignore the result value of PGEVT_CONNRESET
calls. Like the preceding commit, this converts event callbacks
into "pure observers" that cannot affect libpq's processing logic.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3185105.1644960083@sss.pgh.pa.us
As currently implemented, failure of a PGEVT_RESULTCREATE callback
causes the PGresult to be converted to an error result. This is
intellectually inconsistent (shouldn't a failing callback likewise
prevent creation of the error result? what about side-effects on the
behavior seen by other event procs? why does PQfireResultCreateEvents
act differently from PQgetResult?), but more importantly it destroys
any promises we might wish to make about the behavior of libpq in
nontrivial operating modes, such as pipeline mode. For example,
it's not possible to promise that PGRES_PIPELINE_SYNC results will
be returned if an event callback fails on those. With this
definition, expecting applications to behave sanely in the face of
possibly-failing callbacks seems like a very big lift.
Hence, redefine the result of a callback failure as being simply
that that event procedure won't be called any more for this PGresult
(which was true already). Event procedures can still signal failure
back to the application through out-of-band mechanisms, for example
via their passthrough arguments.
Similarly, don't let failure of a PGEVT_RESULTCOPY callback prevent
PQcopyResult from succeeding. That definition allowed a misbehaving
event proc to break single-row mode (our sole internal use of
PQcopyResult), and it probably had equally deleterious effects for
outside uses.

GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of

reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);
