This is an oversight from recent commit b13fd344. While on it, tweak

Detected by buildfarm member prion which forces relation cache release
with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE. Back-patch down to 9.4 as the previous

When a constraint gets renamed, it may have associated with it a target
relation (for example domain constraints don't have one). Not
invalidating the target relation cache when issuing the renaming can
result in issues with subsequent commands that refer to the old
constraint name using the relation cache, causing various failures. One
pattern spotted was using CREATE TABLE LIKE after a constraint
renaming.

reap_child() basically ignored the possibility of either an error in
waitpid() itself or a child process failure on signal. We don't really
need to do more than report and crash hard, but proceeding as though
nothing is wrong is definitely Not Acceptable. The error report for
nonzero child exit status was pretty off-point, as well.
Noted while fooling around with child-process failure detection
logic elsewhere. It's been like this a long time, so back-patch to
all supported branches.
Commit ffa4cbd62 added logic to detect SIGPIPE failure of a COPY child
process, but it only worked correctly if the SIGPIPE occurred in the
immediate child process. Depending on the shell in use and the
complexity of the shell command string, we might instead get back
an exit code of 128 + SIGPIPE, representing a shell error exit
reporting SIGPIPE in the child process.
We could just hack up ClosePipeToProgram() to add the extra case,
but it seems like this is a fairly general issue deserving a more
general and better-documented solution. I chose to add a couple
of functions in src/common/wait_error.c, which is a natural place
to know about wait-result encodings, that will test for either a
specific child-process signal type or any child-process signal failure.
Then, adjust other places that were doing ad-hoc tests of this type
to use the common functions.
In RestoreArchivedFile, this fixes a race condition affecting whether
the process will report an error or just silently proc_exit(1): before,
that depended on whether the intermediate shell got SIGTERM'd itself
or reported a child process failing on SIGTERM.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to v10; we could go further

The idea here is to not call recordDependencyOn for the default collation,
since we know that's pinned. But what the code actually did was to record
the partition key's dependency on the opclass twice, instead.
Evidently introduced by sloppy coding in commit 2186b608b. Back-patch

When GIN vacuum deletes a posting tree page, it assumes that no concurrent
searchers can access it, thanks to ginStepRight() locking two pages at once.
However, since 9.4 searches can skip parts of posting trees descending from the
root. That leads to the risk that page is deleted and reclaimed before
concurrent search can access it.
This commit prevents the risk of above by waiting for every transaction, which
might wait to reference this page, to finish. Due to binary compatibility
we can't change GinPageOpaqueData to store corresponding transaction id.
Instead we reuse page header pd_prune_xid field, which is unused in index pages.

On standby ginRedoDeletePage() can work concurrently with read-only queries.
Those queries can traverse posting tree in two ways.
1) Using rightlinks by ginStepRight(), which locks the next page before
unlocking its left sibling.
2) Using downlinks by ginFindLeafPage(), which locks at most one page at time.
Original lock order was: page, parent, left sibling. That lock order can
deadlock with ginStepRight(). In order to prevent deadlock this commit changes
lock order to: left sibling, page, parent. Note, that position of parent in
locking order seems insignificant, because we only lock one page at time while

page to be deleted. However, due to concurrent parent split, inserter doesn't
always holds pins on all the pages constituting path from root to the target

postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the

Our support for multiple-set-clauses in UPDATE assumes that the Params
referencing a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlan will appear before that SubPlan
in the targetlist of the plan node that calculates the updated row.
(Yeah, it's a hack...) In some PG branches it's possible that a Result
node gets inserted between the primary calculation of the update tlist
and the ModifyTable node. setrefs.c did the wrong thing in this case
and left the upper-level Params as Params, causing a crash at runtime.
What it should do is replace them with "outer" Vars referencing the child
plan node's output. That's a result of careless ordering of operations
in fix_upper_expr_mutator, so we can fix it just by reordering the code.
Fix fix_join_expr_mutator similarly for consistency, even though join
nodes could never appear in such a context. (In general, it seems
likely to be a bit cheaper to use Vars than Params in such situations
anyway, so this patch might offer a tiny performance improvement.)
The hazard extends back to 9.5 where the MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK stuff
was introduced, so back-patch that far. However, this may be a live
bug only in 9.6.x and 10.x, as the other branches don't seem to want
to calculate the final tlist below the Result node. (That plan shape

This was safe enough when written, but commit d42358efb added code below

the stats counter update was applied to the wrong relcache entry (the

When an indexes is created on a partitioned table using ONLY (don't
recurse to partitions), it gets marked invalid until index partitions
are attached for each table partition. But there's no reason to do this
if there are no partitions ... and moreover, there's no way to get the
index to become valid afterwards, because all partitions that get
created/attached get their own index partition already attached to the
parent index, so there's no chance to do ALTER INDEX ... ATTACH PARTITION
that would make the parent index valid.
Fix by not marking the index as invalid to begin with.
This is very similar to 9139aa1942, but the pg_dump aspect does not
appear to be relevant until we add FKs that can point to PKs on
partitioned tables. (I tried to cause the pg_upgrade test to break by
leaving some of these bogus tables around, but wasn't able to.)
Making this change means that an index that was supposed to be invalid
in the insert_conflict regression test is no longer invalid; reorder the
DDL so that the test continues to verify the behavior we want it to.

In at least Apple's version of ranlib, the output file is updated to have
a mod time equal to the max of the timestamps of its components, and that
data only has seconds precision. On a filesystem with sub-second file
timestamp precision --- say, APFS --- this can result in the finished
static library appearing older than its input files, which causes useless
rebuilds and possible outright failures in parallel makes.
We've only seen this reported in the field from people using Apple's
ranlib with a non-Apple make, because Apple's make doesn't know about
sub-second timestamps either so it doesn't decide rebuilds are needed.
But Apple's ranlib presumably shares code with at least some BSDen,
so it's not that unlikely that the same problem could arise elsewhere.
To fix, just "touch" the output file after ranlib finishes.
We seem to need this in only one place. There are other calls of
ranlib in our makefiles, but they are working on intermediate files
whose timestamps are not actually important, or else on an installed
static library for which sub-second timestamp precision is unlikely
to matter either. (Also, so far as I can tell, Apple's ranlib doesn't
mess up the file timestamp in the latter usage anyhow.)

Move the responsibility for checking for and reporting a failure from
the only current BufFileSize() caller, logtape.c, to BufFileSize()
itself. Code within buffile.c is generally responsible for interfacing
with fd.c to report irrecoverable failures. This seems like a
convention that's worth sticking to.
Reorganizing things this way makes it easy to make the error message
raised in the event of BufFileSize() failure descriptive of the
underlying problem. We're now clear on the distinction between
temporary file name and BufFile name, and can show errno, confident that
its value actually relates to the error being reported. In passing, an
existing, similar buffile.c ereport() + errcode_for_file_access() site
is changed to follow the same conventions.
The API of the function BufFileSize() is changed by this commit, despite
already being in a stable release (Postgres 11). This seems acceptable,
since the BufFileSize() ABI was changed by commit aa55183042, which
hasn't made it into a point release yet. Besides, it's difficult to
imagine a third party BufFileSize() caller not just raising an error
anyway, since BufFile state should be considered corrupt when

During table rewrites (VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), the main heap is logged
using XLOG / FPI records, and thus (correctly) ignored in decoding.
But the associated TOAST table is WAL-logged as plain INSERT records,
and so was logically decoded and passed to reorder buffer.
That has severe consequences with TOAST tables of non-trivial size.
Firstly, reorder buffer has to keep all those changes, possibly spilling
them to a file, incurring I/O costs and disk space.
Secondly, ReoderBufferCommit() was stashing all those TOAST chunks into
a hash table, which got discarded only after processing the row from the
main heap. But as the main heap is not decoded for rewrites, this never
happened, so all the TOAST data accumulated in memory, resulting either
in excessive memory consumption or OOM.
The fix is simple, as commit e9edc1ba already introduced infrastructure
(namely HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL flag) to skip logical decoding of TOAST
tables, but it only applied it to system tables. So simply use it for
all TOAST data in raw_heap_insert().
That would however solve only the memory consumption issue - the TOAST
changes would still be decoded and added to the reorder buffer, and
spilled to disk (although without TOAST tuple data, so much smaller).
But we can solve that by tweaking DecodeInsert() to just ignore such
INSERT records altogether, using XLH_INSERT_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE flag,
instead of skipping them later in ReorderBufferCommit().

be wrongly converted (to negative values) when they need to be rejected.
Also, because we compared before rounding off the fractional part,
the other three functions threw errors for values that really ought
to get rounded to the min or max integer value.
Fix by doing rint() first (requiring an assumption that it handles
NaN and Inf correctly; but dtoi8 and ftoi8 were assuming that already),

Per buildfarm.
Previously, any program launched by COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM inherited the
server's setting of SIGPIPE handling, i.e. SIG_IGN. Hence, if we were
doing COPY FROM PROGRAM and closed the pipe early, the child process
would see EPIPE on its output file and typically would treat that as
a fatal error, in turn causing the COPY to report error. Similarly,
one could get a failure report from a query that didn't read all of
the output from a contrib/file_fdw foreign table that uses file_fdw's
PROGRAM option.
To fix, ensure that child programs inherit SIG_DFL not SIG_IGN processing
of SIGPIPE. This seems like an all-around better situation since if
the called program wants some non-default treatment of SIGPIPE, it would
expect to have to set that up for itself. Then in COPY, if it's COPY
FROM PROGRAM and we stop reading short of detecting EOF, treat a SIGPIPE
exit from the called program as a non-error condition. This still allows
us to report an error for any case where the called program gets SIGPIPE
on some other file descriptor.
As coded, we won't report a SIGPIPE if we stop reading as a result of
seeing an in-band EOF marker (e.g. COPY BINARY EOF marker). It's
somewhat debatable whether we should complain if the called program
continues to transmit data after an EOF marker. However, it seems like
we should avoid throwing error in any questionable cases, especially in a
back-patched fix, and anyway it would take additional code to make such
an error get reported consistently.
Back-patch to v10. We could go further back, since COPY FROM PROGRAM
has been around awhile, but AFAICS the only way to reach this situation
using core or contrib is via file_fdw, which has only supported PROGRAM
sources since v10. The COPY statement per se has no feature whereby
it'd stop reading without having hit EOF or an error already. Therefore,
I don't see any upside to back-patching further that'd outweigh the
risk of complaints about behavioral change.

On some operating systems, it doesn't make sense to retry fsync(),
because dirty data cached by the kernel may have been dropped on
write-back failure. In that case the only remaining copy of the

but not have flushed the data. That means that a future checkpoint

Therefore, violently prevent any future checkpoint attempts by
panicking on the first fsync() failure. Note that we already
did the same for WAL data; this change extends that behavior to
non-temporary data files.
Provide a GUC data_sync_retry to control this new behavior, for
users of operating systems that don't eject dirty data, and possibly
forensic/testing uses. If it is set to on and the write-back error
was transient, a later checkpoint might genuinely succeed (on a
system that does not throw away buffers on failure); if the error is
permanent, later checkpoints will continue to fail. The GUC defaults
to off, meaning that we panic.
Back-patch to all supported releases.
There is still a narrow window for error-loss on some operating
systems: if the file is closed and later reopened and a write-back
error occurs in the intervening time, but the inode has the bad
luck to be evicted due to memory pressure before we reopen, we could
miss the error. A later patch will address that with a scheme
for keeping files with dirty data open at all times, but we judge
that to be too complicated to back-patch.

wcsrtombs (called through wchar2char from common functions like lower,
upper, etc.) uses various optimizations that may look like access to
uninitialized data, triggering valgrind reports.
For example AVX2 instructions load data in 256-bit chunks, and gconv
does something similar with 32-bit chunks. This is faster than accessing
the bytes one by one, and the uninitialized part of the buffer is not
actually used. So suppress the bogus reports.
The exact stack depends on possible optimizations - it might be AVX, SSE
(as in the report by Aleksander Alekseev) or something else. Hence the
last frame is wildcarded, to deal with this.
Backpatch all the way back to 9.4.

BufFileSize() can't use off_t, because it's only 32 bits wide on
some systems. BufFile objects can have many 1GB segments so the
total size can exceed 2^31. The only known client of the function
is parallel CREATE INDEX, which was reported to fail when building
large indexes on Windows.
Though this is technically an ABI break on platforms with a 32 bit
off_t and we might normally avoid back-patching it, the function is
brand new and thus unlikely to have been discovered by extension
authors yet, and it's fairly thoroughly broken on those platforms
anyway, so just fix it.
Defect in 9da0cc35. Bug #15460. Back-patch to 11, where this

In commit ecfd55795, I removed sqlda.c's checks for ndigits != 0 on the
grounds that we should duplicate the state of the numeric value's digit
buffer even when all the digits are zeroes. However, that still isn't
quite right, because another possible state of the digit buffer is
buf == digits == NULL (this occurs for a NaN). As the code now stands,
it'll invoke memcpy with a NULL source address and zero bytecount,
which we know a few platforms crash on. Hence, reinstate the no-copy
short-circuit, but make it test specifically for buf != NULL rather than
some other condition. In hindsight, the ndigits test (added by commit
f2ae9f9c3) was almost certainly meant to fix the NaN case not the
all-zeroes case as the associated thread alleged.
As before, back-patch to all supported versions.

If a failure happens when a transaction is starting between the moment
the transaction status is changed from TRANS_DEFAULT to TRANS_START and
the moment the current user ID and security context flags are fetched
via GetUserIdAndSecContext(), or before initializing its basic fields,
then those may get reset to incorrect values when the transaction
aborts, leaving the session in an inconsistent state.
One problem reported is that failing a starting transaction at the first
query of a session could cause several kinds of system crashes on the
follow-up queries.
In order to solve that, move the initialization of the transaction state
fields and the call of GetUserIdAndSecContext() in charge of fetching
the current user ID close to the point where the transaction status is
switched to TRANS_START, where there cannot be any error triggered
in-between, per an idea of Tom Lane. This properly ensures that the
current user ID, the security context flags and that the basic fields of
TransactionState remain consistent even if the transaction fails while
starting.

A table with OIDs that was the first in the dump output would not get
dumped with OIDs enabled. Fix that.
The reason was that the currWithOids flag was declared to be bool but
actually also takes a -1 value for "don't know yet". But under
stdbool.h semantics, that is coerced to true, so the required SET
default_with_oids command is not output again. Change the variable
type to char to fix that.
