Robert Haas f81a91db4d Use a real RT index when setting up partition tuple routing.
Before, we always used a dummy value of 1, but that's not right when
the partitioned table being modified is inside of a WITH clause
rather than part of the main query.

Tom Lane a570feaf92 Merge large_object.sql test into largeobject.source.
It seems pretty confusing to have tests named both largeobject and
large_object.  The latter is of very recent vintage (commit ff992c074),
so get rid of it in favor of merging into the former.

Also, enable the LO comment test that was added by commit 70ad7ed4e,
since the later commit added the then-missing pg_upgrade functionality.
The large_object.sql test case is almost completely redundant with that,
but not quite: it seems like creating a user-defined LO with an OID in
the system range might be an interesting case for pg_upgrade, so let's
keep it.

Like the earlier patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

Robert Haas 09c2e7cd2f hash: Fix write-ahead logging bugs related to init forks.
One, logging for CREATE INDEX was oblivious to the fact that when
an unlogged table is created, *only* operations on the init fork
should be logged.

Two, init fork buffers need to be flushed after they are written;
otherwise, a filesystem-level copy following recovery may do the
wrong thing.  (There may be a better fix for this issue than the
one used here, but this is transposed from the similar logic already
present in XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended, and a broader refactoring
after beta2 seems inadvisable.)

Tom Lane de2af6e001 Improve comments for execExpr.c's handling of FieldStore subexpressions.
Given this code's general eagerness to use subexpressions' output variables
as temporary workspace, it's not exactly clear that it is safe for
FieldStore to tell a newval subexpression that it can write into the same
variable that is being supplied as a potential input.  Document the chain

Tom Lane decb08ebdf Code review for NextValueExpr expression node type.
Add missing infrastructure for this node type, notably in ruleutils.c where
its lack could demonstrably cause EXPLAIN to fail.  Add outfuncs/readfuncs
support.  (outfuncs support is useful today for debugging purposes.  The
readfuncs support may never be needed, since at present it would only
matter for parallel query and NextValueExpr should never appear in a
parallelizable query; but it seems like a bad idea to have a primnode type
that isn't fully supported here.)  Teach planner infrastructure that
NextValueExpr is a volatile, parallel-unsafe, non-leaky expression node
with cost cpu_operator_cost.  Given its limited scope of usage, there
*might* be no live bug today from the lack of that knowledge, but it's
certainly going to bite us on the rear someday.  Teach pg_stat_statements
about the new node type, too.

While at it, also teach cost_qual_eval() that MinMaxExpr, SQLValueFunction,
XmlExpr, and CoerceToDomain should be charged as cpu_operator_cost.
Failing to do this for SQLValueFunction was an oversight in my commit
0bb51aa96.  The others are longer-standing oversights, but no time like the
present to fix them.  (In principle, CoerceToDomain could have cost much
higher than this, but it doesn't presently seem worth trying to examine the
domain's constraints here.)

Modify execExprInterp.c to execute NextValueExpr as an out-of-line
function; it seems quite unlikely to me that it's worth insisting that
it be inlined in all expression eval methods.  Besides, providing the
out-of-line function doesn't stop anyone from inlining if they want to.

Adjust some places where NextValueExpr support had been inserted with the
aid of a dartboard rather than keeping it in the same order as elsewhere.

Tom Lane c95275fc20 Fix broken link-command-line ordering for libpgfeutils.
In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:

LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)

That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already.  That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils.  Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.

The correct way to do it is like this:

override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)

so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.

In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:

LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq

which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended.  This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.

In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:

override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)

even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture.  This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.

In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line.  This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.

It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.

Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced.  In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior
installation's copy of libpgfeutils.a and thereby fail to absorb a
minor-version bug fix.

When writing a backup to stdout with pg_basebackup on Windows, put stdout

In the passing, standardize on using "_setmode" instead of "setmode", for

Tom Lane a3ca72ae9a Fix dumping of FUNCTION RTEs that contain non-function-call expressions.
The grammar will only accept something syntactically similar to a function
call in a function-in-FROM expression.  However, there are various ways
to input something that ruleutils.c won't deparse that way, potentially
leading to a view or rule that fails dump/reload.  Fix by inserting a
dummy CAST around anything that isn't going to deparse as a function
(which is one of the ways to get something like that in there in the
first place).

In HEAD, also make use of the infrastructure added by this to avoid
emitting unnecessary parentheses in CREATE INDEX deparsing.  I did
not change that in back branches, thinking that people might find it
to be unexpected/unnecessary behavioral change.

In HEAD, also fix incorrect logic for when to add extra parens to
partition key expressions.  Somebody apparently thought they could
get away with simpler logic than pg_get_indexdef_worker has, but
they were wrong --- a counterexample is PARTITION BY LIST ((a[1])).
Ignoring the prettyprint flag for partition expressions isn't exactly
a nice solution anyway.

This has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Heikki Linnakangas 74fc83869e Fix race between GetNewTransactionId and GetOldestActiveTransactionId.
The race condition goes like this:

1. GetNewTransactionId advances nextXid e.g. from 100 to 101
2. GetOldestActiveTransactionId reads the new nextXid, 101
3. GetOldestActiveTransactionId loops through the proc array. There are no
   active XIDs there, so it returns 101 as the oldest active XID.
4. GetNewTransactionid stores XID 100 to MyPgXact->xid

So, GetOldestActiveTransactionId returned XID 101, even though 100 only
just started and is surely still running.

This would be hard to hit in practice, and even harder to spot any ill
effect if it happens. GetOldestActiveTransactionId is only used when
creating a checkpoint in a master server, and the race condition can only
happen on an online checkpoint, as there are no backends running during a
shutdown checkpoint. The oldestActiveXid value of an online checkpoint is
only used when starting up a hot standby server, to determine the starting
point where pg_subtrans is initialized from. For the race condition to
happen, there must be no other XIDs in the proc array that would hold back
the oldest-active XID value, which means that the missed XID must be a top
transaction's XID. However, pg_subtrans is not used for top XIDs, so I
believe an off-by-one error is in fact inconsequential. Nevertheless, let's
fix it, as it's clearly wrong and the fix is simple.

This has been wrong ever since hot standby was introduced, so backport to
all supported versions.

Tom Lane bc2d716ad0 Fix ruleutils.c for domain-over-array cases, too.
Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either
for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to
look past a CoerceToDomain at the top level of field and element
assignments, else it decompiles them incorrectly.  Potentially this would
result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the
new test case.  (I also added a test for EXPLAIN; that output isn't broken,
but clearly we need more test coverage here.)

Like commit b1cb32fb6, this bug is reachable in cases we already support,
so back-patch all the way.

Heikki Linnakangas da11977de9 Reduce memory usage of tsvector type analyze function.
compute_tsvector_stats() detoasted and kept in memory every tsvector value
in the sample, but that can be a lot of memory. The original bug report
described a case using over 10 gigabytes, with statistics target of 10000
(the maximum).

To fix, allocate a separate copy of just the lexemes that we keep around,
and free the detoasted tsvector values as we go. This adds some palloc/pfree
overhead, when you have a lot of distinct lexemes in the sample, but it's
better than running out of memory.

Commit 14e8803f1 removed the locking in SyncRepWaitForLSN, but that
introduced a race condition, where SyncRepWaitForLSN might see
syncRepState already set to SYNC_REP_WAIT_COMPLETE, but the process was
not yet removed from the queue. That tripped the assertion, that the
process should no longer be in the uqeue. Reorder the operations in
SyncRepWakeQueue to remove the process from the queue first, and update
syncRepState only after that, and add a memory barrier in between to make
sure the operations are made visible to other processes in that order.

Tom Lane b1cb32fb62 Fix multiple assignments to a column of a domain type.
We allow INSERT and UPDATE commands to assign to the same column more than
once, as long as the assignments are to subfields or elements rather than
the whole column.  However, this failed when the target column was a domain
over array rather than plain array.  Fix by teaching process_matched_tle()
to look through CoerceToDomain nodes, and add relevant test cases.

Also add a group of test cases exercising domains over array of composite.
It's doubtless accidental that CREATE DOMAIN allows this case while not
allowing straight domain over composite; but it does, so we'd better make
sure we don't break it.  (I could not find any documentation mentioning
either side of that, so no doc changes.)

Dean Rasheed f1dae097f2 Clarify the contract of partition_rbound_cmp().
partition_rbound_cmp() is intended to compare range partition bounds
in a way such that if all the bound values are equal but one is an
upper bound and one is a lower bound, the upper bound is treated as
smaller than the lower bound. This particular ordering is required by
RelationBuildPartitionDesc() when building the PartitionBoundInfoData,
so that it can consistently keep only the upper bounds when upper and
lower bounds coincide.

Update the function comment to make that clearer.

Also, fix a (currently unreachable) corner-case bug -- if the bound
values coincide and they contain unbounded values, fall through to the
lower-vs-upper comparison code, rather than immediately returning
0. Currently it is not possible to define coincident upper and lower
bounds containing unbounded columns, but that may change in the
future, so code defensively.

Dean Rasheed c03911d945 Simplify the logic checking new range partition bounds.
The previous logic, whilst not actually wrong, was overly complex and
involved doing two binary searches, where only one was really
necessary. This simplifies that logic and improves the comments.

One visible change is that if the new partition overlaps multiple
existing partitions, the error message now always reports the overlap
with the first existing partition (the one with the lowest
bounds). The old code would sometimes report the clash with the first
partition and sometimes with the last one.

Original patch idea from Amit Langote, substantially rewritten by me.

Tom Lane ec86af9175 Fix another race-condition-ish issue in recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl.
Buildfarm members hornet and sungazer have shown multiple instances of
"Failed test 'xmin of non-cascaded slot with hs feedback has changed'".
The reason seems to be that the test is checking the current xmin of the
master server's replication slot against a past xmin of the first slave
server's replication slot.  Even though the latter slot is downstream of
the former, it's possible for its reported xmin to be ahead of the former's
reported xmin, because those numbers are updated whenever the respective
downstream walreceiver feels like it (see logic in WalReceiverMain).
Instrumenting this test shows that indeed the slave slot's xmin does often
advance before the master's does, especially if an autovacuum transaction
manages to occur during the relevant window.  If we happen to capture such
an advanced xmin as $xmin, then the subsequent wait_slot_xmins call can
fall through before the master's xmin has advanced at all, and then if it
advances before the get_slot_xmins call, we can get the observed failure.
Yeah, that's a bit of a long chain of deduction, but it's hard to explain
any other way how the test can get past an "xmin <> '$xmin'" check only
to have the next query find that xmin does equal $xmin.

Fix by keeping separate images of the master and slave slots' xmins
and testing their has-xmin-advanced conditions independently.

Since pg_ctl promote already waits for recovery to end, these calls are
obsolete.
