The COPY documentation is quite clear that "COPY relation TO" copies
rows from only the named table, not any inheritance children it may
have. However, if you enabled row-level security on the table then
this stopped being true, because the code forgot to apply the ONLY
modifier in the "SELECT ... FROM relation" query that it constructs
in order to allow RLS predicates to be attached. Fix that.

Commit bdaabb9b started skipping doomed transactions when building the
list of possible conflicts for SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY. That makes
sense, because doomed transactions won't commit, but a couple of subtle
things broke:
1. If all uncommitted r/w transactions are doomed, a READ ONLY
transaction would arbitrarily not benefit from the safe snapshot
optimization. It would not be taken immediately, and yet no other
transaction would set SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE later.
2. In the same circumstances but with DEFERRABLE, GetSafeSnapshot()
would correctly exit its wait loop without sleeping and then take the
optimization in non-assert builds, but assert builds would fail a sanity
check that SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE had been set by another transaction.
This is similar to the case for PredXact->WritableSxactCount == 0. We
should opt out immediately if our possibleUnsafeConflicts list is empty
after filtering.
The code to maintain the serializable global xmin is moved down below
the new opt out site, because otherwise we'd have to reverse its effects
before returning.

When vacuum_defer_cleanup_age is bigger than the current xid, including the
epoch, the subtraction of vacuum_defer_cleanup_age would lead to a wrapped
around xid. While that normally is not a problem, the subsequent conversion to
a 64bit xid results in a 64bit-xid very far into the future. As that xid is
used as a horizon to detect whether rows versions are old enough to be
removed, that allows removal of rows that are still visible (i.e. corruption).
If vacuum_defer_cleanup_age was never changed from the default, there is no
chance of this bug occurring.
This bug was introduced in dc7420c2c9. A lesser version of it exists in
12-13, introduced by fb5344c969, affecting only GiST.
The 12-13 version of the issue can, in rare cases, lead to pages in a gist
index getting recycled too early, potentially causing index entries to be
found multiple times.
The fix is fairly simple - don't allow vacuum_defer_cleanup_age to retreat
further than FirstNormalTransactionId.
Patches to make similar bugs easier to find, by adding asserts to the 64bit
xid infrastructure, have been proposed, but are not suitable for backpatching.
Currently there are no tests for vacuum_defer_cleanup_age. A patch introducing
infrastructure to make writing a test easier has been posted to the list.

If a view is defined atop another view, and then CREATE OR REPLACE
VIEW is used to add columns to the lower view, then when the upper
view's referencing RTE is expanded by ApplyRetrieveRule we will have
a subquery RTE with fewer eref->colnames than output columns. This
confuses various code that assumes those lists are always in sync,
as they are in plain parser output.
We have seen such problems before (cf commit d5b760ecb), and now
I think the time has come to do what was speculated about in that
commit: let's make ApplyRetrieveRule synthesize some column names to
preserve the invariant that holds in parser output. Otherwise we'll
be chasing this class of bugs indefinitely. Moreover, it appears from
testing that this actually gives us better results in the test case
d5b760ecb added, and likely in other corner cases that we lack
coverage for.
In HEAD, I replaced d5b760ecb's hack to make expandRTE exit early with
an elog(ERROR) call, since the case is now presumably unreachable.
But it seems like changing that in back branches would bring more risk
than benefit, so there I just updated the comment.

If UPDATE is forced to retry after an EvalPlanQual check, it neglected
to repeat GENERATED-column computations, even though those might well
have changed since we're dealing with a different tuple than before.
Fixing this is mostly a matter of looping back a bit further when
we retry. In v15 and HEAD that's most easily done by altering the API
of ExecUpdateAct so that it includes computing GENERATED expressions.
Also, if an UPDATE in a partitioned table turns into a cross-partition
INSERT operation, we failed to recompute GENERATED columns. That's a
bug since 8bf6ec3ba allowed partitions to have different generation
expressions; although it seems to have no ill effects before that.
Fixing this is messier because we can now have situations where the same
query needs both the UPDATE-aligned set of GENERATED columns and the
INSERT-aligned set, and it's unclear which set will be generated first
(else we could hack things by forcing the INSERT-aligned set to be
generated, which is indeed how fe9e658f4 made it work for MERGE).
The best fix seems to be to build and store separate sets of expressions
for the INSERT and UPDATE cases. That would create ABI issues in the
back branches, but so far it seems we can leave this alone in the back
branches.
Per bug #17823 from Hisahiro Kauchi. The first part of this affects all
branches back to v12 where GENERATED columns were added.

1. Make sure that we don't decrement SxactGlobalXminCount twice when
the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE optimization is reached in a parallel query.
This could trigger a sanity check failure in assert builds. Non-assert
builds recompute the count in SetNewSxactGlobalXmin(), so the problem
was hidden, explaining the lack of field reports. Add a new isolation
test to exercise that case.
2. Remove an assertion that the DOOMED flag can't be set on a partially
released SERIALIZABLEXACT. Instead, ignore the flag (our transaction
was already determined to be read-only safe, and DOOMED is in fact set
during partial release, and there was already an assertion that it
wasn't set sooner). Improve an existing isolation test so that it
reaches that case (previously it wasn't quite testing what it was
supposed to be testing; see discussion).

This is usually harmless, but if you were very unlucky it could
provoke a segfault due to the "to" string being right up against
the end of memory. Found via valgrind testing (so we might've
found it earlier, except that our regression tests lacked any
exercise of translate()'s deletion feature).
Fix by switching the order of the test-for-end-of-string and
advance-pointer steps. While here, compute "to_ptr + tolen"
just once. (Smarter compilers might figure that out for
themselves, but let's just make sure.)

Backpatch to all live branches.
We already tried to fix this in commits 3f7323cbb et al (and follow-on
fixes), but now it emerges that there are still unfixed cases;
moreover, these cases affect all branches not only pre-v14. I thought
we had eliminated all cases of making multiple clones of an UPDATE's
target list when we nuked inheritance_planner. But it turns out we
still do that in some partitioned-UPDATE cases, notably including
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE, because ExecInitPartitionInfo thinks
it's okay to clone and modify the parent's targetlist.
This fix is based on a suggestion from Andres Freund: let's stop
abusing the ParamExecData.execPlan mechanism, which was only ever
meant to handle initplans, and instead solve the execution timing
problem by having the expression compiler move MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK steps
to the front of their expression step lists. This is feasible because
(a) all branches still in support compile the entire targetlist of
an UPDATE into a single ExprState, and (b) we know that all
MULTIEXPR_SUBLINKs do need to be evaluated --- none could be buried
inside a CASE, for example. There is a minor semantics change
concerning the order of execution of the MULTIEXPR's subquery versus
other parts of the parent targetlist, but that seems like something
we can get away with. By doing that, we no longer need to worry
about whether different clones of a MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK share output
Params; their usage of that data structure won't overlap.

If a rule action contains a subquery that refers to columns from OLD

complain if it sees such things in a subquery that isn't marked as
lateral. However, at rule-definition time, the user isn't required to
mark the subquery with LATERAL, and so it can fail when the rule is

Given an updatable view with a DO ALSO INSERT ... SELECT rule, a
multi-row INSERT ... VALUES query on the view fails if the VALUES list
contains any DEFAULTs that are not replaced by view defaults. This
manifests as an "unrecognized node type" error, or an Assert failure,
in an assert-enabled build.
The reason is that when RewriteQuery() attempts to replace the
remaining DEFAULT items with NULLs in any product queries, using
rewriteValuesRTEToNulls(), it assumes that the VALUES RTE is located
at the same rangetable index in each product query. However, if the
product query is an INSERT ... SELECT, then the VALUES RTE is actually
in the SELECT part of that query (at the same index), rather than the
top-level product query itself.
Fix, by descending to the SELECT in such cases. Note that we can't
simply use getInsertSelectQuery() for this, since that expects to be
given a raw rule action with OLD and NEW placeholder entries, so we
duplicate its logic instead.
While at it, beef up the checks in getInsertSelectQuery() by checking
that the jointree->fromlist node is indeed a RangeTblRef, and that the
RTE it points to has rtekind == RTE_SUBQUERY.

If asked to decrease the size of a large (>8K) palloc chunk,
AllocSetRealloc could improperly change the Valgrind state of memory
beyond the new end of the chunk: it would mark data UNDEFINED as far
as the old end of the chunk after having done the realloc(3) call,
thus tromping on the state of memory that no longer belongs to it.
One would normally expect that memory to now be marked NOACCESS,
so that this mislabeling might prevent detection of later errors.
If realloc() had chosen to move the chunk someplace else (unlikely,
but well within its rights) we could also mismark perfectly-valid
DEFINED data as UNDEFINED, causing false-positive valgrind reports
later. Also, any malloc bookkeeping data placed within this area
might now be wrongly marked, causing additional problems.
Fix by replacing relevant uses of "oldsize" with "Min(size, oldsize)".
It's sufficient to mark as far as "size" when that's smaller, because
whatever remains in the new chunk size will be marked NOACCESS below,
and we expect realloc() to have taken care of marking the memory
beyond the new official end of the chunk.
While we're here, also rename the function's "oldsize" variable
to "oldchksize" to more clearly explain what it actually holds,
namely the distance to the end of the chunk (that is, requested size
plus trailing padding). This is more consistent with the use of
"size" and "chksize" to hold the new requested size and chunk size.
Add a new variable "oldsize" in the one stanza where we're actually
talking about the old requested size.

Failing to do so results in an error when a pgbench script tries to
start a serializable transaction inside a pipeline, because by the time
BEGIN ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE is executed, we're already in a
transaction that has acquired a snapshot, so the server rightfully
complains.
We can work around that by preparing all commands in the pipeline before
actually starting the pipeline. This changes the existing code in two
aspects: first, we now prepare each command individually at the point
where that command is about to be executed; previously, we would prepare
all commands in a script as soon as the first command of that script
would be executed. It's hard to see that this would make much of a
difference (particularly since it only affects the first time to execute
each script in a client), but I didn't actually try to measure it.
Secondly, we no longer use PQsendPrepare() in pipeline mode, but only
PQprepare. There's no specific reason for this change other than no
longer needing to do differently in pipeline mode. (Previously we had
no choice, because in pipeline mode PQprepare could not be used.)

ruleutils.c blindly printed the user-given alias (or nothing if there
hadn't been one) for the target table of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries.
That works a large percentage of the time, but not always: for queries
appearing in WITH, it's possible that we chose a different alias to
avoid conflict with outer-scope names. Since the chosen alias would
be used in any Var references to the target table, this'd lead to an
inconsistent printout with consequences such as dump/restore failures.
The correct logic for printing (or not) a relation alias was embedded
in get_from_clause_item. Factor it out to a separate function so that
we don't need a jointree node to use it. (Only a limited part of that
function can be reached from these new call sites, but this seems like
the cleanest non-duplicative factorization.)

OpenSSL 1.1.1 and newer versions have added support for RSA-PSS
certificates, which requires the use of a specific routine in OpenSSL to
determine which hash function to use when compiling it when using
channel binding in SCRAM-SHA-256. X509_get_signature_nid(), that is the
original routine the channel binding code has relied on, is not able to
determine which hash algorithm to use for such certificates. However,
X509_get_signature_info(), new to OpenSSL 1.1.1, is able to do it. This
commit switches the channel binding logic to rely on
X509_get_signature_info() over X509_get_signature_nid(), which would be
the choice when building with 1.1.1 or newer.
The error could have been triggered on the client or the server, hence
libpq and the backend need to have their related code paths patched.
Note that attempting to load an RSA-PSS certificate with OpenSSL 1.1.0
or older leads to a failure due to an unsupported algorithm.
The discovery of relying on X509_get_signature_info() comes from Jacob,
the tests have been written by Heikki (with few tweaks from me), while I
have bundled the whole together while adding the bits needed for MSVC
and meson.
This issue exists since channel binding exists, so backpatch all the way
down. Some tests are added in 15~, triggered if compiling with OpenSSL
1.1.1 or newer, where the certificate and key files can easily be

When an aggregate function is used as a WindowFunc and a tuple transitions
out of the window frame, we ordinarily try to make use of the aggregate
function's inverse transition function to "unaggregate" the exiting tuple.
This optimization is disabled for various cases, including when the
aggregate contains a volatile function. In such a case we'd be unable to
ensure that the transition value was calculated to the same value during
transitions and inverse transitions. Unfortunately, we did this check by
calling contain_volatile_functions() which does not recursively search
SubPlans for volatile functions. If the aggregate function's arguments or
its FILTER clause contained a subplan with volatile functions then we'd
fail to notice this.
Here we fix this by just disabling the optimization when the WindowFunc
contains any subplans. Volatile functions are not the only reason that a
subplan may have nonrepeatable results.

As at this stage of the authentication process the exchange has not been

This test has been added as of 857ee8e that has introduced the SQL

This test is unstable, and some configuration scenarios may that easier
to reproduce (wal_level=minimal, wal_compression=on) because the WAL
holding the information about the in-progress transaction ID may not
have made it to disk yet, hence a post-crash recovery may cause the same

The drop database command waits for the logical replication sync worker to
accept ProcSignalBarrier and the worker's slot creation waits for the drop
database to finish which leads to a deadlock. This happens because the
tablesync worker holds interrupts while creating a slot.
We prevent cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot in the table sync
worker because it is possible that before the server finishes this
command, a concurrent drop subscription happens which would complete
without removing this slot and that leads to the slot existing until the
end of walsender. However, the slot will eventually get dropped at the
walsender exit time, so there is no danger of the dangling slot.
This patch reallows cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot and
modifies the test to wait for slots to become zero to prevent finding an
ephemeral slot.
The reported hang doesn't happen in PG14 as the drop database starts to
wait for ProcSignalBarrier with PG15 (commits 4eb2176318 and e2f65f4255)

The motivation for this change is that when pg_dump dumps a
partitioned index that's marked REPLICA IDENTITY, it generates a
command sequence that applies REPLICA IDENTITY before the partitioned
index has been marked valid, causing restore to fail. We could
perhaps change pg_dump to not do it like that, but that would be
difficult and would not fix existing dump files with the problem.
There seems to be very little reason for the backend to disallow
this anyway --- the code ignores indisreplident when the index
isn't valid --- so instead let's fix it by allowing the case.
Commit 9511fb37a previously expressed a concern that allowing
indisreplident to be set on invalid indexes might allow us to
wind up in a situation where a table could have indisreplident
set on multiple indexes. I'm not sure I follow that concern
exactly, but in any case the only way that could happen is because
relation_mark_replica_identity is too trusting about the existing set
of markings being valid. Let's just rip out its early-exit code path
(which sure looks like premature optimization anyway; what are we
doing expending code to make redundant ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA
IDENTITY commands marginally faster and not-redundant ones marginally
slower?) and fix it to positively guarantee that no more than one
index is marked indisreplident.
The pg_dump failure can be demonstrated in all supported branches,
so back-patch all the way. I chose to back-patch 9511fb37a as well,
just to keep indisreplident handling the same in all branches.

When the length was too short, the server read outside the allocation.
That yielded the same log noise as sending the correct length with
(backendPID,cancelAuthCode) matching nothing. Change to a message about
the unexpected length. Given the attacker's lack of control over the
memory layout and the general lack of diversity in memory layouts at the
code in question, we doubt a would-be attacker could cause a segfault.

This is wrong since 88e9823, that has switched the WAL sizing
configuration from checkpoint_segments to min_wal_size and
max_wal_size. This missed the recalculation of the internal value of
the internal "CheckPointSegments", that works as a mapping of the old
GUC checkpoint_segments, on reload, for example, and it controls the
timing of checkpoints depending on the volume of WAL generated.
Most users tend to leave checkpoint_completion_target at 0.9 to smooth
the I/O workload, which is why I guess this has gone unnoticed for so
long, still it can be useful to tweak and reload the value dynamically
in some cases to control the timing of checkpoints.

test_extensions' test_ext_cine extension has the same upgrade hazard
as test_ext7: the regression test leaves it in an updated state
from which no downgrade path to default is provided. This causes
the update_extensions.sql script helpfully provided by pg_upgrade
to fail. So drop it in cross-version-upgrade testing.
Not entirely sure how come I didn't hit this in testing yesterday;
possibly I'd built the upgrade reference databases with
testmodules-install-check disabled.
Backpatch to v10 where this module was introduced.
To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to
modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties,
and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output.
Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had
separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very
ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how
many lines of unchecked diff were okay!). This patch creates a Perl
module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic
that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined
fashion.
This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits 0df9641d3,
9814ff550, and 62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution
for the task of dropping old objects. There was nothing fundamentally
wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the
output-formatting problem. The most plausible way to deal with
formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the
dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the
same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for
dropping old objects.
Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to
support buildfarm animals that still test that far back.
It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm,
because the new code depends on that. I fixed up pg_upgrade's
002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching
it further than that.

In commit 8bf6ec3ba I assumed that no code path could reach
ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols without having gone through
ExecInitStoredGenerated. That turns out not to be the case in
logical replication: if there's an ON UPDATE trigger on the target
table, trigger.c will call this code before anybody has set up its
generated columns. Having seen that, I don't have a lot of faith in
there not being other such paths. ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols can call
ExecInitStoredGenerated for itself, as long as we are willing to
assume that it is only called in CMD_UPDATE operations, which on
the whole seems like a safer leap of faith.

The WAIT_USE_EPOLL and WAIT_USE_KQUEUE implementations of
WaitEventSetWaitBlock() confused the size of their internal buffer with
the size of the caller's output buffer, and could ask the kernel for too
many events. In fact the set of events retrieved from the kernel needs
to be able to fit in both buffers, so take the smaller of the two.
The WAIT_USE_POLL and WAIT_USE WIN32 implementations didn't have this
confusion.
This probably didn't come up before because we always used the same
number in both places, but commit 7389aad6 calculates a dynamic size at
construction time, while using MAXLISTEN for its output event buffer on
the stack. That seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, so
consider this to be a pre-existing bug worth fixing.

We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance
children by transposing the calculation made for their parent.
However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child
can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that
have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression.
(At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning
either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case
clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.)
Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field
in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated
columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove
extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but
always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch
versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field
to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches.
Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead.
Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12,
but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it
to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of
which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still
be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but
that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it
unfixed in v12.

New versions of perl trigger warnings within perl.h with our compiler
flags. At least -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wshadow=compatible-local are
known to be problematic.
To avoid these warnings, conditionally use #pragma GCC system_header before
including plperl.h.
Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with
-isystem, but that is a larger hammer and is harder to search for.
A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic
push/ignored/pop, but gcc warns about unknown warnings being ignored, so every
to-be-ignored-temporarily compiler warning would require its own pg_config.h
symbol and #ifdef.
As the warnings are voluminous, it makes sense to backpatch this change. But

It seems that drop-index-concurrently-1 has started to forget what it was
originally meant to be testing. d2d8a229b, which added incremental sorts
changed the expected plan to be an Index Scan plan instead of a Seq Scan
plan. This occurred as the primary key index of the table in question
provided presorted input and, because that index happened to be the
cheapest input path due to enable_seqscan being disabled, the incremental
sort changes just added a Sort on top of that. It seems based on the name
of the PREPAREd statement that the intention here is that the query
produces a seqscan plan.
The reason this test has become broken seems to be due to how the test was
originally coded. The test was trying to force a seqscan plan by
performing some casting to make it so the test_dc index couldn't be used
to perform the required filtering. Trying to coax the planner into using
a plan which has costed in a disable_cost seems like it's always going to
be flakey as small changes in costs are drowned out by the large
disable_cost combined with add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR. Here we get rid of
the casts that we're using to try to trick the planner into a seqscan and
instead toggle enable_seqscan as and when required to get the desired
plan.
Additionally, rename a few things in the test and add some additional
wording to the comments to try and make it more clear in the future what
we expect this test to be doing.

Backpatch-through: 13, where d2d8a229b changed the expected test output
Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the
XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false",
on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of
PreventInTransactionBlock(). This turns out to be a bad idea though,
because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to
cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected.
Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue,
which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal
commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly
committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline.
To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag
XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we
have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a
commit for it. Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing
InTransactionBlock() to return "false".
Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT
without fear of causing problems. This means that the API guarantees
of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock,
which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage
of IsInTransactionBlock. (In any case, a caller preferring the old
behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.)
For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set
in PreventInTransactionBlock. This too is meant to prevent commands
such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands
in a pipeline.

jsonb_get_element() was incautious enough to use VARDATA() and
VARSIZE() directly on an arbitrary text Datum. That of course
fails if the Datum is short-header, compressed, or out-of-line.
The typical result would be failing to match any element of a
jsonb object, though matching the wrong one seems possible as well.
setPathObject() was slightly brighter, in that it used VARDATA_ANY
and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR, but that only kept it out of trouble for
short-header Datums. push_path() had the same issue. This could
result in faulty subscripted insertions, though keys long enough to
cause a problem are likely rare in the wild.
Having seen these, I looked around for unsafe usages in the rest
of the adt/json* files. There are a couple of places where it's not
immediately obvious that the Datum can't be compressed or out-of-line,
so I added pg_detoast_datum_packed() to cope if it is. Also, remove
some other usages of VARDATA/VARSIZE on Datums we just extracted from
a text array. Those aren't actively broken, but they will become so
if we ever start allowing short-header array elements, which does not
seem like a terribly unreasonable thing to do. In any case they are
not great coding examples, and they could also do with comments
pointing out that we're assuming we don't need pg_detoast_datum_packed.

We might fail to generate a partitionwise join, because
reparameterize_path_by_child() does not support all path types.
This should not be a hard failure condition: we should just fall back
to a non-partitioned join. However, generate_partitionwise_join_paths
did not consider this possibility and would emit the (misleading)
error "could not devise a query plan for the given query" if we'd
failed to make any paths for a child join. Fix it to give up on
partitionwise joining if so. (The accepted technique for giving up
appears to be to set rel->nparts = 0, which I find pretty bizarre,
but there you have it.)
I have not added a test case because there'd be little point:
any omissions of this sort that we identify would soon get fixed
by extending reparameterize_path_by_child(), so the test would stop
proving anything. However, right now there is a known test case based
on failure to cover MaterialPath, and with that I've found that this
is broken in all supported versions. Hence, patch all the way back.

When updating a relation with a rule whose action performed an INSERT
from a multi-row VALUES list, the rewriter might skip processing the
VALUES list, and therefore fail to replace any DEFAULTs in it. This
would lead to an "unrecognized node type" error.
The reason was that RewriteQuery() assumed that a query doing an
INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list would necessarily only have one
item in its fromlist, pointing to the VALUES RTE to read from. That
assumption is correct for the original query, but not for product
queries produced for rule actions. In such cases, there may be
multiple items in the fromlist, possibly including multiple VALUES
RTEs.
What is required instead is for RewriteQuery() to skip any RTEs from
the product query's originating query, which might include one or more
already-processed VALUES RTEs. What's left should then include at most
one VALUES RTE (from the rule action) to be processed.

When the relkind of a relache entry changes, because a table is converted into
a view, pgstats can get confused in 15+, leading to crashes or assertion
failures.
For HEAD, Tom fixed this in b23cd185fd, by removing support for converting a
table to a view, removing the source of the inconsistency. This commit just
adds an assertion that a relcache entry's relkind does not change, just in
case we end up with another case of that in the future. As there's no cases of
changing relkind anymore, we can't add a test that that's handled correctly.
For 15, fix the problem by not maintaining the association with the old pgstat
entry when the relkind changes during a relcache invalidation processing. In
that case the pgstat entry needs to be unlinked first, to avoid
PgStat_TableStatus->relation getting out of sync. Also add a test reproducing
the issues.
No known problem exists in 11-14, so just add the test there.

Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries
reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids).
If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not
compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in
hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots. Get rid
of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids.
That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much
effort compressing. Hence, consider compressing only once every 128
commit records. (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking. While
we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over
a fairly wide range of frequencies.)
Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records
(which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression
then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for
the transaction-commit path.
Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about
to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second. This should
prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array
not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic.
Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing
when the array storage is already compact.
Back-patch, as the performance problem is worse in pre-v14 branches
than in HEAD.

This is an oversight in commit 7c337b6b5: I apparently didn't think
about the possibility of a SQL function being executed multiple
times within a query. In that case, functions.c's primitive caching
mechanism allows the same utility parse tree to be presented for
execution more than once. We have to tell ProcessUtility to make
a working copy of the parse tree, or bad things happen.
Normally I'd add a regression test, but I think the reported crasher
is dependent on some rather random implementation choices that are
nowhere near functions.c, so its usefulness as a long-lived test
feels questionable. In any case, this fix is clearly correct given
the design choices of 7c337b6b5.

The JOIN_SEMI case Assert'ed that there are no PlaceHolderVars that
need to be evaluated at the semijoin's RHS, which is wrong because
there could be some in the semijoin's qual condition. However, there
could not be any references further up than that, and within the qual
there is not any way that such a PHV could have gone to null yet, so
we don't really need the PHV and there is no need to avoid making the
RHS-removal optimization. The upshot is that there's no actual bug
in production code, and we ought to just remove this misguided Assert.
While we're here, also drop the JOIN_RIGHT case, which is dead code

Commit b663a4136, which allowed FDWs to INSERT rows in bulk, added to
nodeModifyTable.c code to flush pending inserts to the foreign-table
result relation(s) before completing processing of the ModifyTable node,
but the code failed to take into account the case where the INSERT query
has modifying CTEs, leading to incorrect results.
Also, that commit failed to flush pending inserts before firing BEFORE
ROW triggers so that rows are visible to such triggers.
In that commit we scanned through EState's
es_tuple_routing_result_relations or es_opened_result_relations list to
find the foreign-table result relations to which pending inserts are
flushed, but that would be inefficient in some cases. So to fix, 1) add
a List member to EState to record the insert-pending result relations,
and 2) modify nodeModifyTable.c so that it adds the foreign-table result
relation to the list in ExecInsert() if appropriate, and flushes pending
inserts properly using the list where needed.

In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to
remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the
xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was
allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore
serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the
builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the
same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up
using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior.
This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using
InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range
from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421).
But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after
deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples. While that
planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and
thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it
has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits. It's (usually?)
not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly
better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table
contents are known to be mutating rapidly.
Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up
after we've visited 100 heap pages. Giving up just means we'll
fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it
shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless.
Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem
by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt;
so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions),
even in the absence of VACUUM.

adjustments by me). Back-patch to all supported branches.

Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both
test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use
it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation
using an exclusive lock, and any TAP test that discovers a reservation
checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for
another free port if it is.
Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting
PG_TEST_PORT_DIR, or if that doesn't exist a subdirectory of the top
build directory as set by Makefile.global, or its own
tmp_check directory.
The prove_check recipe in Makefile.global.in is extended to export

Once a logical slot has acquired a catalog_xmin, it doesn't let go of
it, even when invalidated by exceeding the max_slot_wal_keep_size, which

ProcSleep() used a PGPROC* variable to point to PROC_QUEUE->links.next,

Noticed when testing a 32bit of postgres with undefined behavior
sanitizer. UBSan noticed that sometimes the supposed PGPROC wasn't
sufficiently aligned (required since 46d6e5f567, ensured indirectly, via
ShmemAllocRaw() guaranteeing cacheline alignment).

Backpatch to release 14 where this code was introduced.
This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older
supported branches. The idea is to design out bugs in which an
ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through
some code sequence that wasn't expecting that. We had another
report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under
debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore
would crash once in a blue moon in the field. We're unlikely
to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more
rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42. Therefore,
even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch.
Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been
in v15 for 16 months without problems.
I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches,
even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break
third-party extensions in minor releases. Such extensions might opt
to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code
differential between v15 and earlier branches. This carries a hazard
of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases.
However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such
releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so
it creates no link-time dependency. So depending on distribution
practices, that might be an OK tradeoff.

The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency
between the heap and the visibility map, which I was unable to
confirm. The concern has been retracted.
However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using
checksums. By not setting the heap page LSN during redo, the
protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a
misleading comment.
It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because
it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I
am marking this as a theoretical risk. But, as discussed, it did
violate expectations about the page LSN, so it may have other
consequences.

If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language

The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be

We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully

logical replication only supports plain tables, we'd better check the

DST law changes in Chile, Fiji, Iran, Jordan, Mexico, Palestine,
and Syria. Historical corrections for Chile, Crimea, Iran, and
Mexico.
Also, the Europe/Kiev zone has been renamed to Europe/Kyiv
(retaining the old name as a link).
The following zones have been merged into nearby, more-populous zones
whose clocks have agreed since 1970: Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Brunei,
Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Atlantic/Reykjavik, Europe/Amsterdam,
Europe/Copenhagen, Europe/Luxembourg, Europe/Monaco, Europe/Oslo,
Europe/Stockholm, Indian/Christmas, Indian/Cocos, Indian/Kerguelen,
Indian/Mahe, Indian/Reunion, Pacific/Chuuk, Pacific/Funafuti,
Pacific/Majuro, Pacific/Pohnpei, Pacific/Wake and Pacific/Wallis.
(This indirectly affects zones that were already links to one of
these: Arctic/Longyearbyen, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Iceland,
Pacific/Ponape, Pacific/Truk, and Pacific/Yap.) America/Nipigon,
America/Rainy_River, America/Thunder_Bay, Europe/Uzhgorod, and
Europe/Zaporozhye were also merged into nearby zones after discovering
that their claimed post-1970 differences from those zones seem to have
been errors.
While the IANA crew have been working on merging zones that have no
post-1970 differences for some time, this batch of changes affects
some zones that are significantly more populous than those merged
in the past, notably parts of Europe. The loss of pre-1970 timezone
history for those zones may be troublesome for applications
expecting consistency of timestamptz display. As an example, the
stored value '1944-06-01 12:00 UTC' would previously display as
'1944-06-01 13:00:00+01' if the Europe/Stockholm zone is selected,
but now it will read out as '1944-06-01 14:00:00+02'.
There exists a "packrat" option that will build the timezone data
files with this old data preserved, but the problem is that it also
resurrects a bunch of other, far less well-attested data; so much so
that actually more zones' contents change from 2022a with that option
than without it. I have chosen not to do that here, for that reason
and because it appears that no major OS distributions are using the
"packrat" option, so that doing so would cause Postgres' behavior
to diverge significantly depending on whether it was built with
--with-system-tzdata. However, for anyone for whom these changes pose
significant problems, there is a solution: build a set of timezone
files with the "packrat" option and use those with Postgres.
Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README,
ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does
its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path.
First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always
called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was
wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail
page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert(). Finally, when inserting items
into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and
START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed. This commit addresses all these
issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages
logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.
This has been applied first only on HEAD as of 56b6625, but as per
discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera, a backpatch is preferred to
keep all the branches consistent and to respect the transam's README
where we can.

This problem has been introduced by commit 272248a0c1 where we started
assigning the subtransactions to the top-level transaction when we mark
both the top-level transaction and its subtransactions as containing
catalog changes. After we assign subtransactions to the top-level
transaction, we were not allowed to execute any invalidations associated
with it when we decide to skip the transaction.
The reason to assign the subtransactions to the top-level transaction was
to avoid the assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder() as they have the
same LSN when we sometimes start accumulating transaction changes for
partial transactions after the restart. Now that with commit 64ff0fe4e8,
we skip this assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we start
decoding the contents of the transaction, so, there is no reason for such
an assignment anymore.
The assignment change was introduced in 15 and prior versions but this bug
doesn't exist in branches prior to 14 since we don't add invalidation
messages to subtransactions. We decided to backpatch through 11 for
consistency but not for 10 since its final release is near.

When the logical decoding restarts from NEW_CID, since there is no
association between the top transaction and its subtransaction, both are
created as top transactions and have the same LSN. This caused the
assertion failure in AssertTXNLsnOrder().
This patch skips the assertion check until we reach the LSN at which we
start decoding the contents of the transaction, specifically
start_decoding_at LSN in SnapBuild. This is okay because we don't
guarantee to make the association between top transaction and
subtransaction until we try to decode the actual contents of transaction.
The ordering of the records prior to the start_decoding_at LSN should have
been checked before the restart.
The other assertion failure is due to the reason that we forgot to track
that we have considered top-level transaction id in the list of catalog
changing transactions that were committed when one of its subtransactions
is marked as containing catalog change.

DefineQueryRewrite() has long required that ON SELECT rules be named
"_RETURN". But we overlooked the converse case: we should forbid
non-ON-SELECT rules that are named "_RETURN". In particular this
prevents using CREATE OR REPLACE RULE to overwrite a view's _RETURN
rule with some other kind of rule, thereby breaking the view.

The executor will dump core if it's asked to execute a seqscan on
a relation having no table AM, such as a view. While that shouldn't
really happen, it's possible to get there via catalog corruption,
such as a missing ON SELECT rule. It seems worth installing a defense
against that. There are multiple plausible places for such a defense,
but I picked the planner's get_relation_info().

If the non-recursive term of a SEARCH BREADTH FIRST recursive
query has only constants in its target list, the planner will
fold the starting RowExpr added by rewrite into a simple Const
of type RECORD. The executor doesn't have any problem with
that --- but EXPLAIN VERBOSE will encounter the Const as the
ultimate source of truth about what the field names of the
SET column are, and it didn't know what to do with that.
Fortunately, we can pull the identifying typmod out of the
Const, in much the same way that record_out would.
For reasons that remain a bit obscure to me, this only fails
with SEARCH BREADTH FIRST, not SEARCH DEPTH FIRST or CYCLE.
But I added regression test cases for both of those options
too, just to make sure we don't break it in future.

In the latest version of Apple's macOS SDK, <sys/socket.h>
fails to compile if "REF" is #define'd as something.
Apple may or may not agree that this is a bug, and even if
they do accept the bug report I filed, they probably won't
fix it very quickly. In the meantime, our back branches will all
fail to compile gram.y. v15 and HEAD currently escape the problem
thanks to the refactoring done in 98e93a1fc, but that's purely
accidental. Moreover, since that patch removed a widely-visible
inclusion of <netdb.h>, back-patching it seems too likely to break
third-party code.
Instead, change the token's code name to REF_P, following our usual
convention for naming parser tokens that are likely to have symbol
conflicts. The effects of that should be localized to the grammar

snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation
when printing pointers (%p) and floats. When this code originated,
we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf,
so we used sprintf for that. That's not actually unsafe in our usage,
but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf
being unconditionally deprecated; and I wouldn't be surprised if other
platforms follow suit. There seems little reason to believe that any
platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf,
so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings.
Back-patch to v12, which is where we started to require C99. It's
also where we started to use our snprintf.c everywhere, so this
wouldn't be enough to suppress the warning in older branches anyway
--- that is, in older branches these aren't necessarily all our
usages of libc's sprintf. It is enough in v12+ because any
deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to
pg_sprintf. (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately
safe is not a matter I intend to address here, but perhaps it could
do with some review.)

The postmaster is not supposed to do anything that depends
fundamentally on shared memory contents, because that creates
the risk that a backend crash that trashes shared memory will
take the postmaster down with it, preventing automatic recovery.
In commit 969d7cd43 I lost sight of this principle and coded
AssignPostmasterChildSlot() in such a way that it could fail
or even crash if the shared PMSignalState structure became
corrupted. Remarkably, we've not seen field reports of such
crashes; but I managed to induce one while testing the recent
changes around palloc chunk headers.
To fix, make a semi-duplicative state array inside the postmaster
so that we need consult only local state while choosing a "child
slot" for a new backend. Ensure that other postmaster-executed
routines in pmsignal.c don't have critical dependencies on the
shared state, either. Corruption of PMSignalState might now
lead ReleasePostmasterChildSlot() to conclude that backend X
failed, when actually backend Y was the one that trashed things.
But that doesn't matter, because we'll force a cluster-wide reset
regardless.

DEFAULT markers appearing in an INSERT on an updatable view
could be mis-processed if they were in a multi-row VALUES clause.
This would lead to strange errors such as "cache lookup failed
for type NNNN", or in older branches even to crashes.
The cause is that commit 41531e42d tried to re-use rewriteValuesRTE()
to remove any SetToDefault nodes (that hadn't previously been replaced
by the view's own default values) appearing in "product" queries,
that is DO ALSO queries. That's fundamentally wrong because the
DO ALSO queries might not even be INSERTs; and even if they are,
their targetlists don't necessarily match the view's column list,
so that almost all the logic in rewriteValuesRTE() is inapplicable.
What we want is a narrow focus on replacing any such nodes with NULL
constants. (That is, in this context we are interpreting the defaults
as being strictly those of the view itself; and we already replaced
any that aren't NULL.) We could add still more !force_nulls tests
to further lobotomize rewriteValuesRTE(); but it seems cleaner to
split out this case to a new function, restoring rewriteValuesRTE()
to the charter it had before.

There are a number of bugs in this area. Two of them are fixed here,
namely:
1. get_relation_idx_constraint_oid does not restrict the type of
constraint that's returned, so with sufficient bad luck it can
return the OID of a foreign key constraint. This has the effect that
a primary key in a partition can end up as a child of a foreign key,
which makes no sense (it needs to be the child of the equivalent
primary key.)
Change the API contract so that only index-backed constraints are
returned, mimicking get_constraint_index().
2. Both CloneFkReferenced and CloneFkReferencing clone a
self-referencing foreign key, so the partition ends up with
a duplicate foreign key. Change the former function to ignore such
constraints.
Add some tests to verify that things are better now. (However, these
new tests show some additional misbehavior that will be fixed later --
namely that there's a constraint marked NOT VALID.)

Commit 34f581c39 intended to ensure that RelationGetBufferForTuple
would acquire a visibility-map page pin in case the otherBuffer's
all-visible bit had become set since we last had lock on that page.
But I missed a case: when we're extending the relation, VM concerns
were dealt with only in the relatively-less-likely case that we
fail to conditionally lock the otherBuffer. I think I'd believed
that we couldn't need to worry about it if the conditional lock
succeeds, which is true for the target buffer; but the otherBuffer
was unlocked for awhile so its bit might be set anyway. So we need
to do the GetVisibilityMapPins dance, and then also recheck the
page's free space, in both cases.

This prevents marking the argument string for translation for gettext,
and it also prevents the given string (which is already translated) from
being translated at runtime.
Also, mark the strings used as arguments to check_rolespec_name for
translation.
Backpatch all the way back as appropriate. None of this is caught by
any tests (necessarily so), so I verified it manually.
Commit 25936fd46 adjusted things so that the "storeslot" we use
for remapping trigger tuples would have adequate lifespan, but it
neglected to consider the lifespan of the tuple descriptor that
the slot depends on. It turns out that in at least some cases, the
tupdesc we are passing is a refcounted tupdesc, and the refcount for
the slot's reference can get assigned to a resource owner having
different lifespan than the slot does. That leads to an error like
"tupdesc reference 0x7fdef236a1b8 is not owned by resource owner
SubTransaction". Worse, because of a second oversight in the same
commit, we'd try to free the same tupdesc refcount again while
cleaning up after that error, leading to recursive errors and an
"ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded" PANIC.
To fix the initial problem, let's just make a non-refcounted copy
of the tupdesc we're supposed to use. That seems likely to guard
against additional problems, since there's no strong reason for
this code to assume that what it's given is a refcounted tupdesc;
in which case there's an independent hazard of the tupdesc having
shorter lifespan than the slot does. (I didn't bother trying to
free said copy, since it should go away anyway when the (sub)
transaction context is cleaned up.)
The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to
AfterTriggerFreeQuery work like the rest of that function, ie be
sure that it doesn't try to free the same slot twice in the event
of recursive error cleanup.
While here, also clean up minor stylistic issues in the test case
added by 25936fd46: don't use "create or replace function", as any
name collision within the tests is likely to have ill effects
that that won't mask; and don't use function names as generic as
trigger_function1, especially if you're not going to drop them
at the end of the test stanza.

clang 15+ will issue a set-but-not-used warning when the only
use of a variable is in autoincrements (e.g., "foo++;").
That's perfectly sensible, but it detects a few more cases that
we'd not noticed before. Silence the warnings with our usual
methods, such as PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, or in one case by
actually removing a useless variable.
One thing that we can't nicely get rid of is that with %pure-parser,
Bison emits "yynerrs" as a local variable that falls foul of this
warning. To silence those, I inserted "(void) yynerrs;" in the
top-level productions of affected grammars.

The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer. Somebody figured
they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
argument. Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
likely won't be far behind. So spend the extra few lines of code
to do it honestly with a separate walker function.
In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's
useless return value. I left that as-is in back branches though,
to forestall complaints about ABI breakage.
Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical
importance before our stable branches are all out of service.

Treat arguments declared as RECORD as if that were a polymorphic type

Primarily, this fixes an incorrect calculation in SlabCheck which was
looking in the wrong byte for the sentinel check. The reason that we've
never noticed this before in the form of a failing sentinel check is
because the pre-check to this always fails because all current core users
of slab contexts have a chunk size which is already MAXALIGNed, therefore
there's never any space for the sentinel byte. It is possible that an
extension needs to use a slab context and if they do with a chunk size
that's not MAXALIGNed, then they'll likely get errors about overwritten
sentinel bytes.
Additionally, this patch changes various calculations which are being done
based on the sizeof(SlabBlock). Currently, sizeof(SlabBlock) is a
multiple of 8, therefore sizeof(SlabBlock) is the same as
MAXALIGN(sizeof(SlabBlock)), however, if we were to ever have to add any
fields to that struct as part of a bug fix, then SlabAlloc could end up
returning a non-MAXALIGNed pointer. To be safe, let's ensure we always
MAXALIGN sizeof(SlabBlock) before using it in any calculations.

get_database_list() failed to restore the caller's memory context,
instead leaving current context set to TopMemoryContext which is
how CommitTransactionCommand() leaves it. The callers both think
they are using short-lived contexts, for the express purpose of
not having to worry about cleaning up individual allocations.
The net effect therefore is that supposedly short-lived allocations
could accumulate indefinitely in the launcher's TopMemoryContext.
Although this has been broken for a long time, it seems we didn't
have any obvious memory leak here until v15's rearrangement of the
stats logic. I (tgl) am not entirely convinced that there's no
other leak at all, though, and we're surely at risk of adding one

If the input word exceeds 1000 bytes, don't pass it to the stemmer;
just return it as-is after case folding. Such an input is surely
not a word in any human language, so whatever the stemmer might
do to it would be pretty dubious in the first place. Adding this
restriction protects us against a known recursion-to-stack-overflow
problem in the Turkish stemmer, and it seems like good insurance
against any other safety or performance issues that may exist in
the Snowball stemmers. (I note, for example, that they contain no
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, so we really don't want them running

The default of lazy symbol resolution means that when the postmaster
first reaches the select() call in ServerLoop, it'll need to resolve
the link to that libc entry point. NetBSD's dynamic loader takes
an internal lock while doing that, and if a signal interrupts the
operation then there is a risk of self-deadlock should the signal
handler do anything that requires that lock, as several of the
postmaster signal handlers do. The window for this is pretty narrow,
and timing considerations make it unlikely that a signal would arrive
right then anyway. But it's semi-repeatable on slow single-CPU
machines, and in principle the race could happen with any hardware.
The least messy solution to this is to force binding of dynamic
symbols at postmaster start, using the "-z now" linker option.
While we're at it, also use "-z relro" so as to provide a small
security gain.
It's not entirely clear whether any other platforms share this
issue, but for now we'll assume it's NetBSD-specific. (We might
later try to use "-z now" on more platforms for performance
reasons, but that would not likely be something to back-patch.)

When a PostgreSQL instance performing archive recovery but not using
standby mode is promoted, and the last WAL segment that it attempted
to read ended in a partial record, the previous code would create
invalid WAL on the new timeline. The WAL from the previously timeline
would be copied to the new timeline up until the end of the last valid
record, but instead of beginning to write WAL at immediately
afterwards, the promoted server would write an overwrite contrecord at
the beginning of the next segment. The end of the previous segment
would be left as all-zeroes, resulting in failures if anything tried
to read WAL from that file.
The root of the issue is that ReadRecord() decides whether to set
abortedRecPtr and missingContrecPtr based on the value of StandbyMode,
but ReadRecord() switches to a new timeline based on the value of
ArchiveRecoveryRequested. We shouldn't try to write an overwrite
contrecord if we're switching to a new timeline, so change the test in
ReadRecod() to check ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead.

While waiting for slots to become available in wait_on_slots() in
parallel_slot.c, the cancellation always relied on the first connection
in the set to do the job. This could cause problems when this slot's
socket is gone as PQgetCancel() would return NULL in this case. Rather
than always using the first connection, this changes the logic to use
the first valid connection for the cancellation.

SplitToVariants() in the ispell code, lseg_inside_poly() in geo_ops.c,
and regex_selectivity_sub() in selectivity estimation could recurse
until stack overflow; fix by adding check_stack_depth() calls.
So could next() in the regex compiler, but that case is better fixed by
converting its tail recursion to a loop. (We probably get better code
that way too, since next() can now be inlined into its sole caller.)

When creating a partitioned index, DefineIndex tries to identify
any existing indexes on the partitions that match the partitioned
index, so that it can absorb those as child indexes instead of
building new ones. Part of the matching is to compare IndexInfo
structs --- but that wasn't done quite right. We're comparing
the IndexInfo built within DefineIndex itself to one made from
existing catalog contents by BuildIndexInfo. Notably, while
BuildIndexInfo will run index expressions and predicates through
expression preprocessing, that has not happened to DefineIndex's
struct. The result is failure to match and subsequent creation
of duplicate indexes.
The easiest and most bulletproof fix is to build a new IndexInfo
using BuildIndexInfo, thereby guaranteeing that the processing done
is identical.
While here, let's also extract the opfamily and collation data
from the new partitioned index, removing ad-hoc logic that
duplicated knowledge about how those are constructed.

When enlarging the work buffers of a VarStringSortSupport object,
varstrfastcmp_locale was careful to keep them in the ssup_cxt
memory context; but varstr_abbrev_convert just used palloc().
The latter creates a hazard that the buffers could be freed out
from under the VarStringSortSupport object, resulting in stomping
on whatever gets allocated in that memory later.
In practice, because we only use this code for ICU collations
(cf. 3df9c374e), the problem is confined to use of ICU collations.
I believe it may have been unreachable before the introduction
of incremental sort, too, as traditional sorting usually just
uses one context for the duration of the sort.
We could fix this by making the broken stanzas in varstr_abbrev_convert
match the non-broken ones in varstrfastcmp_locale. However, it seems
like a better idea to dodge the issue altogether by replacing the
pfree-and-allocate-anew coding with repalloc, which automatically
preserves the chunk's memory context. This fix does add a few cycles
because repalloc will copy the chunk's content, which the existing
coding assumes is useless. However, we don't expect that these buffer
enlargement operations are performance-critical. Besides that, it's
far from obvious that copying the buffer contents isn't required, since
these stanzas make no effort to mark the buffers invalid by resetting
last_returned, cache_blob, etc. That seems to be safe upon examination,
but it's fragile and could easily get broken in future, which wouldn't
get revealed in testing with short-to-moderate-size strings.
Per bug #17584 from James Inform. Whether or not the issue is
reachable in the older branches, this code has been broken on its
own terms from its introduction, so patch all the way back.

As of 897795240c, check constraints can
be declared invalid. But that patch didn't update _outConstraint() to
also show the relevant struct fields (which were only applicable to
foreign keys before that). This currently only affects debugging
output, so no impact in practice.
96ef3b8ff1 accidentally copied a not
applicable comment from the float8_pass_by_value code to the
data_checksums code. Remove that.
87d3b35a1c changed pg_upgrade to
checking the checksum version rather than just the Boolean presence of
checksums, but didn't change the field type in its ControlData struct
from bool. So this would not work correctly if there ever is a
checksum version larger than 1.
The set of fields printed by _outConstraint() in the CONSTR_IDENTITY
case didn't match the set of fields actually used in that case. (The
code was probably uncarefully copied from the CONSTR_DEFAULT case.)
Fix that by using the right set of fields. Since there is no read
support for this node type, this is really just for debugging output
right now, so it doesn't affect anything important.
Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION
records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that
information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart,
if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction
that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the
snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong
snapshot.
To fix this problem, this changes the snapshot builder so that it
remembers the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS record
after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark the
transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of initial
running transactions and its commit record has XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. To
avoid ABI breakage, we store the array of the initial running transactions
in the static variables InitialRunningXacts and NInitialRunningXacts,
instead of storing those in SnapBuild or ReorderBuffer.
This approach has a false positive; we could end up adding the transaction
that didn't change catalog to the snapshot since we cannot distinguish
whether the transaction has catalog changes only by checking the COMMIT
record. It doesn't have the information on which (sub) transaction has
catalog changes, and XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS doesn't necessarily indicate
that the transaction has catalog change. But that won't be a problem since
we use snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs.
On the master branch, we took a more future-proof approach by writing
catalog modifying transactions to the serialized snapshot which avoids the
above false positive. But we cannot backpatch it because of a change in
the SnapBuild.

Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was
an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite
the object and adopt it into the extension. This is problematic, first
because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we
didn't change the object's ownership. Thus a hostile user could create
an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would
then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be
modified for trojan-horse-type attacks.
Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already
belongs to the extension. (Note that we've always forbidden replacing
an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for
previously-free-standing objects changes here.)
For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is

On closer inspection, mcv.c isn't as broken for ScalarArrayOpExpr
as I thought. The Var-on-right issue is real enough, but actually
it does cope fine with a NULL array constant --- I was misled by
an XXX comment suggesting it didn't. Undo that part of the code
change, and replace the XXX comment with something less misleading.
Since v14, the extended stats machinery will try to estimate for
otherwise-unsupported boolean expressions if they match an expression
available from an extended stats object. mcv.c did not get the memo
about this, and would spit up with "unknown clause type". Fortunately
the case is easy to handle, since we can expect the expression yields
boolean.
While here, replace some not-terribly-on-point assertions with
simpler runtime tests for lookup failure. That seems appropriate
so that we get an elog not a crash if we somehow get to the new
it-should-be-a-bool-expression code with a subexpression that
doesn't match any stats column.

statext_is_compatible_clause_internal() checked that the arguments
of a ScalarArrayOpExpr are one Var and one Const, but it would allow
cases where the Const was on the left. Subsequent uses of the clause
are not expecting that and would suffer assertion failures or core
dumps. mcv.c also had not bothered to cope with the case of a NULL
array constant, which seems really unacceptably sloppy of somebody.
(Although our tools failed us there too, since AFAIK neither Coverity
nor any compiler warned of the obvious use-of-uninitialized-variable
condition.) It seems best to handle that by having
statext_is_compatible_clause_internal() reject it.
Noted while fixing bug #17570. Back-patch to v13 where the
extended stats code grew some awareness of ScalarArrayOpExpr.
Commit a4d75c86b improved the extended-stats logic to allow extended
stats to be collected on expressions not just bare Vars. To apply
such stats, we first verify that the user has permissions to read all
columns used in the stats. (If not, the query will likely fail at
runtime, but the planner ought not do so.) That had to get extended
to check permissions of columns appearing within such expressions,
but the code for that was completely wrong: it applied pull_varattnos
to the wrong pointer, leading to "unrecognized node type" failures.
Furthermore, although you couldn't get to this because of that bug,
it failed to account for the attnum offset applied by pull_varattnos.
This escaped recognition so far because the code in question is not
reached when the user has whole-table SELECT privilege (which is the
common case), and because only subexpressions not specially handled
by statext_is_compatible_clause_internal() are at risk.
I think a large part of the reason for this bug is under-documentation
of what statext_is_compatible_clause() is doing and what its arguments
are, so do some work on the comments to try to improve that.

Having additional triggers in a test table made the ORDER BY clauses in
old queries underspecified. Add another column there for stability.
Per sporadic buildfarm pink.
Using ATSimpleRecursion() in ATPrepCmd() to do so as bbb927b4db did is
not correct, because ATPrepCmd() can't distinguish between triggers that
may be cloned and those that may not, so would wrongly try to recurse
for the latter category of triggers.
So this commit restores the code in EnableDisableTrigger() that
86f575948c had added to do the recursion, which would do it only for
triggers that may be cloned, that is, row-level triggers. This also
changes tablecmds.c such that ATExecCmd() is able to pass the value of
ONLY flag down to EnableDisableTrigger() using its new 'recurse'
parameter.
This also fixes what seems like an oversight of 86f575948c that the
recursion to partition triggers would only occur if EnableDisableTrigger()
had actually changed the trigger. It is more apt to recurse to inspect
partition triggers even if the parent's trigger didn't need to be
changed: only then can we be certain that all descendants share the same
state afterwards.

Commit fac1b470a thought we could check for set-returning functions

wrong in itself, and to make matters worse it encouraged others

Use expression_returns_set() instead, and stuff the IS_SRF_CALL()

added a couple of cross-reference comments.
After a fair amount of fooling around, I've despaired of making

The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise

reduce that, but the useless permutations seem worth getting rid of
in any case. (Note that sto_using_hash_index got it right already.)
While here, clean up some other sloppiness such as an unused table.
This doesn't make too much difference in interactive testing, since the
wasted time is typically masked by parallelization with other tests.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories
when replaying database-creation WAL records. Prior to this
patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case;
however, the directories could be legitimately missing.
Consider the following sequence of commands:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the
tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the
create database record again, crash recovery must be able to continue.
A fix for this problem was already attempted in 49d9cfc68b, but it
was reverted because of design issues. This new version is based
on Robert Haas' proposal: any missing tablespaces are created
during recovery before reaching consistency. Tablespaces
are created as real directories, and should be deleted
by later replay. CheckRecoveryConsistency ensures
they have disappeared.
The problems detected by this new code are reported as PANIC,
except when allow_in_place_tablespaces is set to ON, in which
case they are WARNING. Apart from making tests possible, this
gives users an escape hatch in case things don't go as planned.

simple query protocol. In extended protocol, we didn't commit
until receiving a Sync message. Since the client is allowed to
issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that
command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK. In any case, sitting
in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message
that might not come seems pretty risky.
This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline
mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query
protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it
before.
To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells
exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit. This seems
to be the approach that does least damage to existing working
cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes.
While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly
says how to use pipelining. That's latent in the existing docs if
you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it
provides a place to document this new behavior.

It incorrectly used GetBufferDescriptor instead of
GetLocalBufferDescriptor, causing it to not find the correct buffer in
most cases, and performing an out-of-bounds memory read in the corner
case that temp_buffers > shared_buffers.
It also bumped the usage-count on the buffer, even if it was
previously pinned. That won't lead to crashes or incorrect results,
but it's different from what the shared-buffer case does, and
different from the usual code in LocalBufferAlloc. Fix that too, and
make the code ordering match LocalBufferAlloc() more closely, so that
it's easier to verify that it's doing the same thing.
Currently, ReadRecentBuffer() is only used with non-temp relations, in
WAL redo, so the broken code is currently dead code. However, it could
be used by extensions.

Commit 87e6ed7c8 added code that intended to report Windows "junction
points" as DT_LNK (the same way we report symlinks on Unix). Windows
junction points are *also* directories according to the Windows
attributes API, and we were reporting them as as DT_DIR. Change the
order we check the attribute flags, to prioritize DT_LNK.
If at some point we start using Windows' recently added real symlinks
and need to distinguish them from junction points, we may need to
rethink this, but for now this continues the tradition of wrapper
functions that treat junction points as symlinks.

Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM
that return the composite type. There are "soft" references,
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,
that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't
address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.
We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the
underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not
print aliases for them.
Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.
If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name
to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.

save-and-restore the caller's signal mask.

On Linux, we call posix_fallocate() on shm_open()'d memory to avoid
later potential SIGBUS (see commit 899bd785).
Based on field reports of systems stuck in an EINTR retry loop there,
there, we made it possible to break out of that loop via slightly odd
coding where the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call was somewhat removed from
the loop (see commit 422952ee).
On further reflection, that was not a great choice for at least two
reasons:
1. If interrupts were held, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would do nothing
and the EINTR error would be surfaced to the user.
2. If EINTR was reported but neither QueryCancelPending nor
ProcDiePending was set, then we'd dutifully retry, but with a bit more
understanding of how posix_fallocate() works, it's now clear that you
can get into a loop that never terminates. posix_fallocate() is not a
function that can do some of the job and tell you about progress if it's
interrupted, it has to undo what it's done so far and report EINTR, and
if signals keep arriving faster than it can complete (cf recovery
conflict signals), you're stuck.
Therefore, for now, we'll simply block most signals to guarantee
progress. SIGQUIT is not blocked (see InitPostmasterChild()), because
its expected handler doesn't return, and unblockable signals like
SIGCONT are not expected to arrive at a high rate. For good measure,
we'll include the ftruncate() call in the blocked region, and add a
retry loop.

When locking a specific named relation for a FOR [KEY] UPDATE/SHARE
clause, transformLockingClause() finds the relation to lock by
scanning the rangetable for an RTE with a matching eref->aliasname.
However, it failed to account for the visibility rules of a join RTE.
If a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, it will have a
generated eref->aliasname of "unnamed_join" that is not visible as a
relation name in the parse namespace. Such an RTE needs to be skipped,
otherwise it might be found in preference to a regular base relation
with a user-supplied alias of "unnamed_join", preventing it from being
locked.
In addition, if a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, but
does have a join_using_alias, then the RTE needs to be matched using
that alias rather than the generated eref->aliasname, otherwise a
misleading "relation not found" error will be reported rather than a
"join cannot be locked" error.

We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via
PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in
different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a
warning message is produced by libpq:
message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle
But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in
lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult
to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more
serious).
Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element
PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server
response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the
application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to
consume it is a bit hackish.
The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE
state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from
merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the
server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully
IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we
only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response
to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases
it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by
PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is
what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.)
This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular
we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering
IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries.
A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related
problematic cases.

ecpglib has been calling it once per SQL query and once per EXEC SQL GET
DESCRIPTOR. Instead, if newlocale() has not succeeded before, call it
while establishing a connection. This mitigates three problems:
- If newlocale() failed in EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR, the command silently
proceeded without the intended locale change.
- On AIX, each newlocale()+freelocale() cycle leaked memory.
- newlocale() CPU usage may have been nontrivial.
Fail the connection attempt if newlocale() fails. Rearrange
ecpg_do_prologue() to validate the connection before its uselocale().
The sort of program that may regress is one running in an environment
where newlocale() fails. If that program establishes connections
without running SQL statements, it will stop working in response to this

Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in

shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't

Let's treat EEXIST just like any other error, unless we're actually
trying to create a new segment. This applies to shm_open(), where this
behavior has been seen, and also to the equivalent operations for our
sysv and mmap modes just on principle.
Based on the underlying reason for the error, namely contention on a
lock file managed by Solaris librt for each distinct name, this problem
is only likely to happen on 15 and later, because the new shared memory
stats system produces shm_open() calls for the same path from
potentially large numbers of backends concurrently during
authentication. Earlier releases only shared memory segments between a

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

SPI_commit previously left it up to the caller to recover from any error
occurring during commit. Since that's complicated and requires use of
low-level xact.c facilities, it's not too surprising that no caller got
it right. Let's move the responsibility for cleanup into spi.c. Doing
that requires redefining SPI_commit as starting a new transaction, so
that it becomes equivalent to SPI_commit_and_chain except that you get
default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior
transaction's characteristics. We can make this pretty transparent
API-wise by redefining SPI_start_transaction() as a no-op. Callers
that expect to do something in between might be surprised, but
available evidence is that no callers do so.
Having made that API redefinition, we can fix this mess by having
SPI_commit[_and_chain] trap errors and start a new, clean transaction
before re-throwing the error. Likewise for SPI_rollback[_and_chain].
Some cleanup is also needed in AtEOXact_SPI, which was nowhere near
smart enough to deal with SPI contexts nested inside a committing
context.
While plperl and pltcl need no changes beyond removing their now-useless
SPI_start_transaction() calls, plpython needs some more work because it
hadn't gotten the memo about catching commit/rollback errors in the
first place. Such an error resulted in longjmp'ing out of the Python

entry is closed after its use so we need to update it on successive use of
cache entries.
This problem was there since the original commit f1ac27bfda that
introduced this code but we didn't notice it till the recent commit
26b3455afa started to use the component relation of partition map cache
entry.

In logical replication, we will check if the target table on the
subscriber is updatable by comparing the replica identity of the table on
the publisher with the table on the subscriber. When the target table is a
partitioned table, we only check its replica identity but not for the
partition tables. This leads to assertion failure while applying changes
for update/delete as we expect those to succeed only when the
corresponding partition table has a primary key or has a replica
identity defined.
Fix it by checking the replica identity of the partition table while
applying changes.

We were not updating the partition map cache in the subscriber even when
the corresponding remote rel is changed. Due to this data was getting

Fix it by resetting the required entries in the partition map cache after

While building a new attrmap which maps partition attribute numbers to
remoterel's, we incorrectly update the map for dropped column attributes.
Later, it caused cache look-up failure when we tried to use the map to
fetch the information about attributes.
This also fixes the partition map cache invalidation which was using the
wrong type cast to fetch the entry. We were using stale partition map
entry after invalidation which leads to the assertion or cache look-up
failure.

If an application executed operations like EXEC SQL PREPARE
without having first established a database connection, it could
get a core dump instead of the expected clean failure. This
occurred because we did "pthread_getspecific(actual_connection_key)"
without ever having initialized the TSD key actual_connection_key.
The results of that are probably platform-specific, but at least
on Linux it often leads to a crash.
To fix, add calls to ecpg_pthreads_init() in the code paths that
might use actual_connection_key uninitialized. It's harmless
(and hopefully inexpensive) to do that more than once.

In commit ec62cb0aa, I foolishly replaced ExecEvalWholeRowVar's
lookup_rowtype_tupdesc_domain call with just lookup_rowtype_tupdesc,
because I didn't see how a domain could be involved there, and
there were no regression test cases to jog my memory. But the
existing code was correct, so revert that change and add a test
case showing why it's necessary. (Note: per comment in struct
DatumTupleFields, it is correct to produce an output tuple that's
labeled with the base composite type, not the domain; hence just
blindly looking through the domain is correct here.)

Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the
backend to crash if either the hash function or equality function were in
someway non-deterministic based on their input values. Such a data type
could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that
we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the
Memoize LRU list.
Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry
corresponding to the given LRU list item and add run-time checks to verify
we have found the given item in the cache.
This is not a fix for bug #17512, but it will turn the crash reported by
that bug report into an internal ERROR.

pg_stat_get_subscription scanned one more LogicalRepWorker array entry

That seems quite unlikely though (thanks to the ordering of calls in

A more likely misbehavior is one row of garbage data in the function's

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

This reverts commit d9d076222f "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations
with CONCURRENTLY".
These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to
miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index
creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented
by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this
change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that
backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is
not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely
occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of
corrupting the resulting index.
Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on
very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes
away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for
now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy
fix.

We hadn't noticed this because (a) few people feed invalid

abort handling would silently clean up the leaked file reference.
However, it was possible to observe file leakage warnings if one

Commits a59c79564 et al. tried to sync libpq's SSL key file
permissions checks with what we've used for years in the backend.
We did not intend to create any new failure cases, but it turns out
we did: restricting the key file's ownership breaks cases where the
client is allowed to read a key file despite not having the identical
UID. In particular a client running as root used to be able to read
someone else's key file; and having seen that I suspect that there are
other, less-dubious use cases that this restriction breaks on some
platforms.
We don't really need an ownership check, since if we can read the key
file despite its having restricted permissions, it must have the right
ownership --- under normal conditions anyway, and the point of this
patch is that any additional corner cases where that works should be
deemed allowable, as they have been historically. Hence, just drop
the ownership check, and rearrange the permissions check to get rid
of its faulty assumption that geteuid() can't be zero. (Note that the
comparable backend-side code doesn't have to cater for geteuid() == 0,
since the server rejects that very early on.)
This does have the end result that the permissions safety check used
for a root user's private key file is weaker than that used for
anyone else's. While odd, root really ought to know what she's doing
with file permissions, so I think this is acceptable.

ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output
expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's
fallback if it can't think of something better. This is fine, and
avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse
tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be
assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded. Unfortunately
(2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the
expression in a different form from how it was originally written
and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases.
So we shouldn't rely on that.
Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT
column name would be rather expensive. This patch takes the simpler
approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could*
be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink
are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed
by the right-hand side of a setop. This is sufficient to suppress
unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests. That
seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users'
faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix.
