For years, our makefiles have correctly observed that "there is no correct
way to write a rule that generates two files". However, what we did is to
provide empty rules that "generate" the secondary output files from the
primary one, and that's not right either. Depending on the details of
the creating process, the primary file might end up timestamped later than
one or more secondary files, causing subsequent make runs to consider the
secondary file(s) out of date. That's harmless in a plain build, since
make will just re-execute the empty rule and nothing happens. But it's
fatal in a VPATH build, since make will expect the secondary file to be
rebuilt in the build directory. This would manifest as "file not found"
failures during VPATH builds from tarballs, if we were ever unlucky enough
to ship a tarball with apparently out-of-date secondary files. (It's not
clear whether that has ever actually happened, but it definitely could.)
To ensure that secondary output files have timestamps >= their primary's,
change our makefile convention to be that we provide a "touch $@" action
not an empty rule. Also, make sure that this rule actually gets invoked
during a distprep run, else the hazard remains.
It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
In HEAD, I skipped the changes in src/backend/catalog/Makefile, because
those rules are due to get replaced soon in the bootstrap data format
patch, and there seems no need to create a merge issue for that patch.
If for some reason we fail to land that patch in v11, we'll need to
back-fill the changes in that one makefile from v10.

Previously, FOR EACH ROW triggers were not allowed in partitioned
tables. Now we allow AFTER triggers on them, and on trigger creation we
cascade to create an identical trigger in each partition. We also clone
the triggers to each partition that is created or attached later.
This means that deferred unique keys are allowed on partitioned tables,
too.

The LLVM JIT provider uses clang to synchronize types between normal C
code and runtime generated code. Clang represents stdbool.h style
booleans in return values & parameters differently from booleans
stored in variables.
Thus the expression compilation code from 2a0faed9d needs to be
adapted to 9a95a77d9. Instead of hardcoding i8 as the type for
booleans (which already was wrong on some edge case platforms!), use
postgres' notion of a boolean as used for storage and for parameters.
Per buildfarm animal xenodermus.
Author: Andres Freund
Using the standard bool type provided by C allows some recent compilers
and debuggers to give better diagnostics. Also, some extension code and
third-party headers are increasingly pulling in stdbool.h, so it's
probably saner if everyone uses the same definition.
But PostgreSQL code is not prepared to handle bool of a size other than
1, so we keep our own old definition if we encounter a stdbool.h with a
bool of a different size. (Among current build farm members, this only
applies to old macOS versions on PowerPC.)
To check that the used bool is of the right size, add a static
assertions about size of GinTernaryValue vs bool. This is currently the
only place that assumes that bool and char are of the same size.

In addition to the interpretation of expressions (which back
evaluation of WHERE clauses, target list projection, aggregates
transition values etc) support compiling expressions to native code,
using the infrastructure added in earlier commits.
To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for
cases that are likely to be performance critical. For expression steps
that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter.
The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are
required to address that. But this already yields a significant
speedup for some analytics queries, particularly with WHERE clauses

VACUUM thought that reltuples represents the total number of tuples in
the relation, while ANALYZE counted only live tuples. This can cause
"flapping" in the value when background vacuums and analyzes happen
separately. The planner's use of reltuples essentially assumes that
it's the count of live (visible) tuples, so let's standardize on having
it mean live tuples.
Another issue is that the definition of "live tuple" isn't totally clear;
what should be done with INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples?
ANALYZE's choices in this regard are made on the assumption that if the
originating transaction commits at all, it will happen after ANALYZE
finishes, so we should ignore the effects of the in-progress transaction
--- unless it is our own transaction, and then we should count it.
Let's propagate this definition into VACUUM, too.
Likewise propagate this definition into CREATE INDEX, and into
contrib/pgstattuple's pgstattuple_approx() function.

This adds simple cost based plan time decision about whether JIT
should be performed. jit_above_cost, jit_optimize_above_cost are
compared with the total cost of a plan, and if the cost is above them
JIT is performed / optimization is performed respectively.
For that PlannedStmt and EState have a jitFlags (es_jit_flags) field
that stores information about what JIT operations should be performed.
EState now also has a new es_jit field, which can store a
JitContext. When there are no errors the context is released in
standard_ExecutorEnd().
It is likely that the default values for jit_[optimize_]above_cost
will need to be adapted further, but in my test these values seem to

This commit introduces the ability to actually generate code using
LLVM. In particular, this adds:
- Ability to emit code both in heavily optimized and largely
unoptimized fashion
- Batching facility to allow functions to be defined in small
increments, but optimized and emitted in executable form in larger
batches (for performance and memory efficiency)
- Type and function declaration synchronization between runtime
generated code and normal postgres code. This is critical to be able
to access struct fields etc.
- Developer oriented jit_dump_bitcode GUC, for inspecting / debugging
the generated code.
- per JitContext statistics of number of functions, time spent
generating code, optimizing, and emitting it. This will later be
employed for EXPLAIN support.
This commit doesn't yet contain any code actually generating
functions. That'll follow in later commits.

If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY
clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single
partition. This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition. This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.
If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results. This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Previously, a value was included in the MCV list if its frequency was
25% larger than the estimated average frequency of all nonnull values
in the table. For uniform distributions, that can lead to values
being included in the MCV list and significantly overestimated on the
basis of relatively few (sometimes just 2) instances being seen in the
sample. For non-uniform distributions, it can lead to too few values
being included in the MCV list, since the overall average frequency
may be dominated by a small number of very common values, while the
remaining values may still have a large spread of frequencies, causing
both substantial overestimation and underestimation of the remaining
values. Furthermore, increasing the statistics target may have little
effect because the overall average frequency will remain relatively
unchanged.
Instead, populate the MCV list with the largest set of common values
that are statistically significantly more common than the average
frequency of the remaining values. This takes into account the
variance of the sample counts, which depends on the counts themselves
and on the proportion of the table that was sampled. As a result, it
constrains the relative standard error of estimates based on the
frequencies of values in the list, reducing the chances of too many
values being included. At the same time, it allows more values to be
included, since the MCVs need only be more common than the remaining
non-MCVs, rather than the overall average. Thus it tends to produce
fewer MCVs than the previous code for uniform distributions, and more
for non-uniform distributions, reducing estimation errors in both
cases. In addition, the algorithm responds better to increasing the
statistics target, allowing more values to be included in the MCV list
when more of the table is sampled.

Pending some solution for the problems noted in commit 742869946,
disallow dynamic creation of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables.
If there are any extensions out there using this feature, they'd not
be happy for us to start enforcing this rule in minor releases, so
this is a HEAD-only change. The previous commit didn't make things
any worse than they already were for such cases.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180111064900.GA51030@paquier.xyz
Code that prints out the contents of setconfig or proconfig arrays in
SQL format needs to handle GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables differently from
other ones, because for those variables, flatten_set_variable_args()
already applied a layer of quoting. The value can therefore safely
be printed as-is, and indeed must be, or flatten_set_variable_args()
will muck it up completely on reload. For all other GUC variables,
it's necessary and sufficient to quote the value as a SQL literal.
We'd recognized the need for this long ago, but mis-analyzed the
need slightly, thinking that all GUC_LIST_INPUT variables needed
the special treatment. That's actually wrong, since a valid value
of a LIST variable might include characters that need quoting,
although no existing variables accept such values.
More to the point, we hadn't made any particular effort to keep the
various places that deal with this up-to-date with the set of variables
that actually need special treatment, meaning that we'd do the wrong
thing with, for example, temp_tablespaces values. This affects dumping
of SET clauses attached to functions, as well as ALTER DATABASE/ROLE SET
commands.
In ruleutils.c we can fix it reasonably honestly by exporting a guc.c
function that allows discovering the flags for a given GUC variable.
But pg_dump doesn't have easy access to that, so continue the old method
of having a hard-wired list of affected variable names. At least we can
fix it to have just one list not two, and update the list to match
current reality.
A remaining problem with this is that it only works for built-in
GUC variables. pg_dump's list obvious knows nothing of third-party
extensions, and even the "ask guc.c" method isn't bulletproof since
the relevant extension might not be loaded. There's no obvious
solution to that, so for now, we'll just have to discourage extension
authors from inventing custom GUCs that need GUC_LIST_QUOTE.
This has been busted for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Currently, if operator_predicate_proof() is given an operator clause like
"something op NULL", it just throws up its hands and reports it can't prove
anything. But we can often do better than that, if the operator is strict,
because then we know that the clause returns NULL overall. Depending on
whether we're trying to prove or refute something, and whether we need
weak or strong semantics for NULL, this may be enough to prove the
implication, especially when we rely on the standard rule that "false
implies anything". In particular, this lets us do something useful with
questions like "does X IN (1,3,5,NULL) imply X <= 5?" The null entry
in the IN list can effectively be ignored for this purpose, but the
proof rules were not previously smart enough to deduce that.
This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous work by
Amit Langote to try to solve problems of the form mentioned.

My commit 4dba331cb3 that moved around CommandCounterIncrement calls
in partitioning DDL code unearthed a problem with the relcache handling
for the 'default' partition: the construction of a correct relcache
entry for the partitioned table was at the mercy of lack of CCI calls in
non-trivial amounts of code. This was prone to creating problems later
on, as the code develops. This was visible as a test failure in a
compile with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELASE (buildfarm member prion).
The problem is that after the mentioned commit it was possible to create
a relcache entry that had incomplete information regarding the default
partition because I introduced a CCI between adding the catalog entries
for the default partition (StorePartitionBound) and the update of
pg_partitioned_table entry for its parent partitioned table
(update_default_partition_oid). It seems the best fix is to move the
latter so that it occurs inside the former; the purposeful lack of
intervening CCI should be more obvious, and harder to break.
I also remove a check in RelationBuildPartitionDesc that returns NULL if
the key is not set. I couldn't find any place that needs this hack
anymore; probably it was required because of bugs that have since been
fixed.

Logical decoding should not publish anything about tables created as
part of a heap rewrite during DDL. Those tables don't exist externally,
so consumers of logical decoding cannot do anything sensible with that
information. In ab28feae2b, we worked
around this for built-in logical replication, but that was hack.
This is a more proper fix: We mark such transient heaps using the new
field pg_class.relwrite, linking to the original relation OID. By
default, we ignore them in logical decoding before they get to the
output plugin. Optionally, a plugin can register their interest in
getting such changes, if they handle DDL specially, in which case the
new field will help them get information about the actual table.

simpler for this refactoring.
Along the way, adjust things so that add_paths_to_partial_grouping_rel,
now renamed create_partial_grouping_paths, does not perform the Gather
or Gather Merge steps to generate non-partial paths from partial
paths; have the caller do it instead. This is again for the
convenience of partition-wise aggregate, which wants to inject
additional partial paths are created and before we decide which ones
to Gather/Gather Merge. This might seem like a separate change, but
it's actually pretty closely entangled; I couldn't really see much
value in separating it and having to change some things twice.

The original coding of the SP-GiST scan traversalValue feature (commit

refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL
query to construct the "diff" table:
1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate.
2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced
by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column
datatype's default btree opclass.
3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees.
4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the
intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a
security bug before CVE-2018-1058.)
5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns.
The way to fix#4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c
for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move
that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be
exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c.
While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions,
and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses
with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth
back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch

Jeff Janes discovered that commit 7ca25b7de made one of the queries run by
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY perform badly. The root cause is
bad cardinality estimation for correlated quals, but a principled solution
to that problem is some way off, especially since the planner lacks any
statistics about whole-row variables. Moreover, in non-error cases this
query produces no rows, meaning it must be run to completion; but use of
LIMIT 1 encourages the planner to pick a fast-start, slow-completion plan,
exactly not what we want. Remove the LIMIT clause, and instead rely on
the count parameter we pass to SPI_execute() to prevent excess work if the
query does return some rows.
While we've heard no field reports of planner misbehavior with this query,
it could be that people are having performance issues that haven't reached
the level of pain needed to cause a bug report. In any case, that LIMIT
clause can't possibly do anything helpful with any existing version of the
planner, and it demonstrably can cause bad choices in some cases, so
back-patch to 9.4 where the code was introduced.

Commit 3fc6e2d7f5 made setop planning
stages return paths rather than plans, but all such paths were loosely
associated with a single RelOptInfo, and only the final path was added
to the RelOptInfo. Even at the time, it was foreseen that this should
be changed, because there is otherwise no good way for a single stage
of setop planning to return multiple paths. With this patch, each
stage of set operation planning now creates a separate RelOptInfo;
these are distinguished by using appropriate relid sets. Note that
this patch does nothing whatsoever about actually returning multiple
paths for the same set operation; it just makes it possible for a
future patch to do so.
Along the way, adjust things so that create_upper_paths_hook is called

"UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name" failed, with an error message
like "cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple", if the cursor

current TID out of the indexscan state.
It seems likely that the same failure could occur for CustomScan plans
and perhaps some FDW plan types, so that leaving this to be treated as an

seemed. Hence, add a bit of heaptuple.c infrastructure to let us deliver
a more on-topic message. I chose to make the message match what you get
for the case where execCurrentOf can't identify the target scan node at
all, "cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table "bar"".
Perhaps it should be different, but we can always adjust that later.
In the future, it might be nice to provide hooks that would let custom

Fix the warnings created by the compiler warning options
-Wformat-overflow=2 -Wformat-truncation=2, supported since GCC 7. This
is a more aggressive variant of the fixes in
6275f5d28a, which GCC 7 warned about by
default.
The issues are all harmless, but some dubious coding patterns are
cleaned up.
One issue that is of external interest is that BGW_MAXLEN is increased
from 64 to 96. Apparently, the old value would cause the bgw_name of
logical replication workers to be truncated in some circumstances.
But this doesn't actually add those warning options. It appears that
the warnings depend a bit on compilation and optimization options, so it

The logical replication type map seems to have been misused by its only
caller -- it would try to use the remote OID as input for local type
routines, which unsurprisingly could result in bogus "cache lookup
failed for type XYZ" errors, or random other type names being picked up
if they happened to use the right OID. Fix that, changing
Oid logicalrep_typmap_getid(Oid remoteid) to
char *logicalrep_typmap_gettypname(Oid remoteid)
which is more useful. If the remote type is not part of the typmap,
this simply prints "unrecognized type" instead of choking trying to
figure out -- a pointless exercise (because the only input for that
comes from replication messages, which are not under the local node's
control) and dangerous to boot, when called from within an error context
callback.
Once that is done, it comes to light that the local OID in the typmap
entry was not being used for anything; the type/schema names are what we
need, so remove local type OID from that struct.
Once you do that, it becomes pointless to attach a callback to regular
syscache invalidation. So remove that also.

A simple UNION ALL gets flattened into an appendrel of subquery
RTEs, but up until now it's been impossible for the appendrel to use
the partial paths for the subqueries, so we can implement the
appendrel as a Parallel Append but only one with non-partial paths
as children.
There are three separate obstacles to removing that limitation.
First, when planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths to the
final_rel so that they are potentially visible to outer query levels
(but not if they have initPlans attached, because that wouldn't be
safe). Second, after planning a subquery, propagate any partial paths
for the final_rel to the subquery RTE in the outer query level in the
same way we do for non-partial paths. Third, teach finalize_plan() to
account for the possibility that the fake parameter we use for rescan
signalling when the plan contains a Gather (Merge) node may be

The existing logic for updating pg_class.reltuples trusted the sampling
results only for the pages ANALYZE actually visited, preferring to
believe the previous tuple density estimate for all the unvisited pages.
While there's some rationale for doing that for VACUUM (first that
VACUUM is likely to visit a very nonrandom subset of pages, and second
that we know for sure that the unvisited pages did not change), there's
no such rationale for ANALYZE: by assumption, it's looked at an unbiased
random sample of the table's pages. Furthermore, in a very large table
ANALYZE will have examined only a tiny fraction of the table's pages,
meaning it cannot slew the overall density estimate very far at all.
In a table that is physically growing, this causes reltuples to increase
nearly proportionally to the change in relpages, regardless of what is
actually happening in the table. This has been observed to cause reltuples
to become so much larger than reality that it effectively shuts off
autovacuum, whose threshold for doing anything is a fraction of reltuples.
(Getting to the point where that would happen seems to require some
additional, not well understood, conditions. But it's undeniable that if
reltuples is seriously off in a large table, ANALYZE alone will not fix it
in any reasonable number of iterations, especially not if the table is
continuing to grow.)
Hence, restrict the use of vac_estimate_reltuples() to VACUUM alone,
and in ANALYZE, just extrapolate from the sample pages on the assumption
that they provide an accurate model of the whole table. If, by very bad
luck, they don't, at least another ANALYZE will fix it; in the old logic
a single bad estimate could cause problems indefinitely.
In HEAD, let's remove vac_estimate_reltuples' is_analyze argument
altogether; it was never used for anything and now it's totally pointless.

In databases with many tables, re-fetching the statistics takes some time,
so that this behavior seriously decreases the available concurrency for
multiple autovac workers. There's discussion afoot about more complete

and release the lock before rechecking stats. If we find out there's no
longer a reason to process the table, re-taking the lock to un-claim the
table is cheap enough.

One of the things canonicalize_qual() does is to remove constant-NULL
subexpressions of top-level AND/OR clauses. It does that on the assumption
that what it's given is a top-level WHERE clause, so that NULL can be
treated like FALSE. Although this is documented down inside a subroutine
of canonicalize_qual(), it wasn't mentioned in the documentation of that
function itself, and some callers hadn't gotten that memo.
Notably, commit d007a9505 caused get_relation_constraints() to apply
canonicalize_qual() to CHECK constraints. That allowed constraint
exclusion to misoptimize situations in which a CHECK constraint had a
provably-NULL subclause, as seen in the regression test case added here,
in which a child table that should be scanned is not. (Although this
thinko is ancient, the test case doesn't fail before 9.2, for reasons
I've not bothered to track down in detail. There may be related cases
that do fail before that.)
More recently, commit f0e44751d added an independent bug by applying
canonicalize_qual() to index expressions, which is even sillier since
those might not even be boolean. If they are, though, I think this
could lead to making incorrect index entries for affected index
expressions in v10. I haven't attempted to prove that though.
To fix, add an "is_check" parameter to canonicalize_qual() to specify
whether it should assume WHERE or CHECK semantics, and make it perform
NULL-elimination accordingly. Adjust the callers to apply the right
semantics, or remove the call entirely in cases where it's not known
that the expression has one or the other semantics. I also removed
the call in some cases involving partition expressions, where it should
be a no-op because such expressions should be canonical already ...
and was a no-op, independently of whether it could in principle have
done something, because it was being handed the qual in implicit-AND
format which isn't what it expects. In HEAD, add an Assert to catch
that type of mistake in future.
This represents an API break for external callers of canonicalize_qual().
While that's intentional in HEAD to make such callers think about which
case applies to them, it seems like something we probably wouldn't be
thanked for in released branches. Hence, in released branches, the
extra parameter is added to a new function canonicalize_qual_ext(),
and canonicalize_qual() is a wrapper that retains its old behavior.

Commit b08df9cab left things rather poorly documented as far as the
exact semantics of "clause_is_check" mode went. Also, that mode did
not really work correctly for predicate_refuted_by; although given the
lack of specification as to what it should do, as well as the lack
of any actual use-case, that's perhaps not surprising.
Rename "clause_is_check" to "weak" proof mode, and provide specifications
for what it should do. I defined weak refutation as meaning "truth of A
implies non-truth of B", which makes it possible to use the mode in the
part of relation_excluded_by_constraints that checks for mutually
contradictory WHERE clauses. Fix up several places that did things wrong
for that definition. (As far as I can see, these errors would only lead
to failure-to-prove, not incorrect claims of proof, making them not
serious bugs even aside from the fact that v10 contains no use of this
mode. So there seems no need for back-patching.)
In addition, teach predicate_refuted_by_recurse that it can use
predicate_implied_by_recurse after all when processing a strong NOT-clause,
so long as it asks for the correct proof strength. This is an optimization
that could have been included in commit b08df9cab, but wasn't.
Also, simplify and generalize the logic that checks for whether nullness of
the argument of IS [NOT] NULL would force overall nullness of the predicate
or clause. (This results in a change in the partition_prune test's output,
as it is now able to prune an all-nulls partition that it did not recognize
before.)
In passing, in PartConstraintImpliedByRelConstraint, remove bogus
conversion of the constraint list to explicit-AND form and then right back
again; that accomplished nothing except forcing a useless extra level of
recursion inside predicate_implied_by.

If convert_to_scalar is passed a pair of datatypes it can't cope with,
its former behavior was just to elog(ERROR). While this is OK so far as
the core code is concerned, there's extension code that would like to use
scalarltsel/scalargtsel/etc as selectivity estimators for operators that
work on non-core datatypes, and this behavior is a show-stopper for that
use-case. If we simply allow convert_to_scalar to return FALSE instead of
outright failing, then the main logic of scalarltsel/scalargtsel will work
fine for any operator that behaves like a scalar inequality comparison.
The lack of conversion capability will mean that we can't estimate to
better than histogram-bin-width precision, since the code will effectively
assume that the comparison constant falls at the middle of its bin. But
that's still a lot better than nothing. (Someday we should provide a way
for extension code to supply a custom version of convert_to_scalar, but
today is not that day.)
While poking at this issue, we noted that the existing code for handling
type bytea in convert_to_scalar is several bricks shy of a load.
It assumes without checking that if the comparison value is type bytea,
the bounds values are too; in the worst case this could lead to a crash.
It also fails to detoast the input values, so that the comparison result is
complete garbage if any input is toasted out-of-line, compressed, or even
just short-header. I'm not sure how often such cases actually occur ---
the bounds values, at least, are probably safe since they are elements of
an array and hence can't be toasted. But that doesn't make this code OK.
Back-patch to all supported branches, partly because author requested that,
but mostly because of the bytea bugs. The change in API for the exposed
routine convert_network_to_scalar() is theoretically a back-patch hazard,
but it seems pretty unlikely that any third-party code is calling that

Previously, mq_bytes_read and mq_bytes_written were protected by the
spinlock, but that turns out to cause pretty serious spinlock
contention on queries which send many tuples through a Gather or
Gather Merge node. This patches changes things so that we instead
read and write those values using 8-byte atomics. Since mq_bytes_read
can only be changed by the receiver and mq_bytes_written can only be
changed by the sender, the only purpose of the spinlock is to prevent
reads and writes of these values from being torn on platforms where
8-byte memory access is not atomic, making the conversion fairly
straightforward.
Testing shows that this produces some slowdown if we're using emulated
64-bit atomics, but since they should be available on any platform
where performance is a primary concern, that seems OK. It's faster,
sometimes a lot faster, on platforms where such atomics are available.

Previously, it just returned the heap tuple count, which might be only an
estimate, and would be completely the wrong thing if the index is partial.
Since this function scans every index page anyway to find free pages,
it's practically free to count the surviving index tuples. Let's do that
and return an accurate count.
This is easily visible as a wrong reltuples value for a partial GiST
index following VACUUM, so back-patch to all supported branches.

For consistency with other code that deals in numbers of buckets, the
macro BUCKETS_PER_PARTITION should produce a value of type size_t.
Also, fix a mention of an obsolete proposed name for dshash.c that
appeared in a comment.

These errors have been seen in the field in corrupted-data situations.
It seems worthwhile to report them with ERRCODE_DATA_CORRUPTED, rather
than the generic ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR, for the benefit of log monitoring
and tools like amcheck. However, use errmsg_internal so that the text
strings still aren't translated; it seems unlikely to be worth
translators' time to do so.
Back-patch to 9.3, like the predecessor commit d70cf811f that introduced
these elog calls originally (replacing Asserts).

Commit 4800f16a7a added some sanity checks to ensure we don't
accidentally corrupt data, but in one of them we failed to consider the
effects of a database upgraded from 9.2 or earlier, where a tuple
exclusively locked prior to the upgrade has a slightly different bit
pattern. Fix that by using the macro that we fixed in commit
74ebba84ae for similar situations.

Andres suspects that this bug may have wider ranging consequences, but I
couldn't find anything.
Since 9.5, it's possible that some but not all columns of an index
support returning the indexed value for index-only scans. If the
same indexed column appears in index columns that behave both ways,
check_index_only() supposed that it'd be OK to do an index-only scan
testing that column; but that fails if we have to recheck the indexed
condition on one of the columns that doesn't support this.
In principle we could make this work by remapping the recheck expressions
to pull the value from a column that does support returning the indexed
value. But such cases are so weird and rare that, at least for now,
it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Instead, just teach check_index_only
that a value is returnable only if all the index columns containing it
are returnable, rather than any of them.
Per report from David Pereiro Lagares. Back-patch to 9.5 where the
possibility of this situation appeared.

formrdesc's comment listed the specific catalogs it is called for,
but the list was out of date. Rather than jumping back onto that
maintenance treadmill, let's just remove the list. It tells the
reader nothing that can't be learned quickly and more reliably by
searching relcache.c for callers of formrdesc().

Commit a26116c6c accidentally changed the behavior of the SQL format_type()
function while refactoring. For the reasons explained in that function's
comment, a NULL typemod argument should behave differently from a -1
argument. Since we've managed to break this, add a regression test
memorializing the intended behavior.
In passing, be consistent about the type of the "flags" parameter.
Noted by Rushabh Lathia, though I revised the patch some more.
