According to Microsoft's documentation, 2.2 has been the current
version since Windows 98 or so. Moreover, that's what the Postgres
backend has been requesting since 2004 (cf commit 4cdf51e64).
So there seems no reason for libpq to keep asking for 1.1.
Bring thread_test along, too, so that we're uniformly asking for 2.2
in all our WSAStartup calls.
It's not clear whether there's any point in back-patching this,
so for now I didn't.

Failure to write data to a large object during restore led to an ugly
and uninformative error message. To add insult to injury, it then
fatal'd out, where other SQL-level errors usually result in pressing on.
Report the underlying error condition, rather than just giving not-very-
useful byte counts, and use warn_or_exit_horribly() so as to adhere to
pg_restore's general policy about whether to continue or not.
Also recognize that lo_write() returns int not size_t.
Per report from Justin Pryzby, though I didn't use his patch.
Given the lack of comparable complaints, I'm not sure this is
worth back-patching.

The Windows documentation insists that every WSAStartup call should
have a matching WSACleanup call. However, if that ever had actual
relevance, it wasn't in this century. Every remotely-modern Windows
kernel is capable of cleaning up when a process exits without doing
that, and must be so to avoid resource leaks in case of a process
crash. Moreover, Postgres backends have done WSAStartup without
WSACleanup since commit 4cdf51e64 in 2004, and we've never seen any
indication of a problem with that.
libpq's habit of doing WSAStartup during connection start and
WSACleanup during shutdown is also rather inefficient, since a
series of non-overlapping connection requests leads to repeated,
quite expensive DLL unload/reload cycles. We document a workaround
for that (having the application call WSAStartup for itself), but
that's just a kluge. It's also worth noting that it's far from
uncommon for applications to exit without doing PQfinish, and
we've not heard reports of trouble from that either.
However, the real reason for acting on this is that recent
experiments by Alexander Lakhin suggest that calling WSACleanup
during PQfinish might be triggering the symptom we occasionally see
that a process using libpq fails to emit expected stdio output.
Therefore, let's change libpq so that it calls WSAStartup only
once per process, during the first connection attempt, and never
calls WSACleanup at all.
While at it, get rid of the only other WSACleanup call in our code
tree, in pg_dump/parallel.c; that presumably is equally useless.
If this proves to suppress the fairly-common ecpg test failures
we see on Windows, I'll back-patch, but for now let's just do it
in HEAD and see what happens.

This changes zic's default output format from "-b fat" to "-b slim".
We were already using "slim" in v13/HEAD, so those branches drop
the explicit -b switch in the Makefiles. Instead, add an explicit
"-b fat" in v12 and before, so that we don't change the output file
format in those branches. (This is perhaps excessively conservative,
but we decided not to do so in a12079109, and I'll stick with that.)
Other non-cosmetic changes are to drop support for zic's long-obsolete
"-y" switch, and to ensure that strftime() does not change errno
unless it fails.
As usual with tzcode changes, back-patch to all supported branches.
In theory, the second px_find_digest call in px_crypt_md5 could fail
even though the first one succeeded, since resource allocation is
required. Don't skip testing for a failure. (If one did happen,

an OOM failure.)

Commit 32a9c0bdf introduced connection retry logic into postgres_fdw.
Previously it used goto statement for retry. This commit gets rid of that
goto from the logic to make the code simpler and easier-to-read.
When getting out of PG_CATCH() for the retry, the error state should be
cleaned up and the memory context should be reset. But commit 32a9c0bdf
forgot to do that. This commit also fixes this bug.
Previously only PQstatus()==CONNECTION_BAD was verified to detect
connection failure. But this could cause false detection in the case where
any error other than connection failure (e.g., out-of-memory) was thrown
after a broken connection was detected in libpq and CONNECTION_BAD is set.
To fix this issue, this commit changes the logic so that it also checks
the error's sqlstate is ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE.

Previously we only copied the function attributes. That caused problems at
least on s390x: Because we didn't copy the 'zeroext' attribute for
ExecAggTransReparent()'s *IsNull parameters, expressions invoking it didn't
ensure that the upper bytes of the registers were zeroed. In the - relatively
rare - cases where not, ExecAggTransReparent() wrongly ended up in the
newValueIsNull branch due to the register not being zero. Subsequently causing
a crash.
It's quite possible that this would cause problems on other platforms, and in
other places than just ExecAggTransReparent() on s390x.

Pavan Deolasee recently noted that a few of the

5db6df0c01 are useless, since they are done after comparing t_self

second test will also fail.

Prior to commit c55040ccd0 we have no way of knowing the invalidations
before commit. So, while decoding we use to execute all the invalidations
at each command end as we had no way of knowing which invalidations
happened before that command. Due to this, transactions involving large
amounts of DDLs use to take more time and also lead to high CPU usage. But
now we know specific invalidations at each command end so we execute only

Our infinite_recurse() test to verify sane stack-overrun behavior
is affected by a bug of the Linux kernel on PPC64: it will get SIGSEGV
if it receives a signal when the stack depth is (a) over 1MB and
(b) within a few kB of filling the current physical stack allocation.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205183.
Since this test is a bit time-consuming and we run it in parallel with
test scripts that do a lot of DDL, it can be expected to get an sinval
catchup interrupt at some point, leading to failure if the timing is
wrong. This has caused more than 100 buildfarm failures over the
past year or so.
While a fix exists for the kernel bug, it might be years before that
propagates into all production kernels, particularly in some of the
older distros we have in the buildfarm. For now, let's just back off
and not run this test on Linux PPC64; that loses nothing in test
coverage so far as our own code is concerned.
To do that, split this test into a new script infinite_recurse.sql
and skip the test when the platform name is powerpc64...-linux-gnu.
Back-patch to v12. Branches before that have not been seen to get
this failure. No doubt that's because the "errors" test was not

reducing the odds of an sinval catchup being necessary.

Instead of allocating all the ResultRelInfos upfront in one big array,
allocate them in ExecInitModifyTable(). es_result_relations is now an
array of ResultRelInfo pointers, rather than an array of structs, and it
is indexed by the RT index.
This simplifies things: we get rid of the separate concept of a "result
rel index", and don't need to set it in setrefs.c anymore. This also
allows follow-up optimizations (not included in this commit yet) to skip
initializing ResultRelInfos for target relations that were not needed at
runtime, and removal of the es_result_relation_info pointer.
The EState arrays of regular result rels and root result rels are merged
into one array. Similarly, the resultRelations and rootResultRelations
lists in PlannedStmt are merged into one. It's not actually clear to me
why they were kept separate in the first place, but now that the
es_result_relations array is indexed by RT index, it certainly seems
pointless.
The PlannedStmt->resultRelations list is now only needed for
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation(). One visible effect of this change is that
ExecRelationIsTargetRelation() will now return 'true' also for the
partition root, if a partitioned table is updated. That seems like a good
thing, although the function isn't used in core code, and I don't see any
reason for an FDW to call it on a partition root.

Commit 16fa9b2b3 broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds,
because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is

no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment
someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function.

The prohibitValueChange code paths in set_config_option(), which

we'd leak the proposed new value of a PGC_STRING variable, as noted

These are malloc not palloc chunks, so there is no mechanism for
recovering the leaks before process exit. Fortunately, the values
are typically not very large, meaning you'd have to go through an
awful lot of SIGHUP configuration-reload cycles to make the leakage
