An OS crash could leave PG_VERSION empty or missing. The same symptom
appeared in a backup by block device snapshot, taken after the next

snapshots are not a documented backup method, however. Back-patch to

Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile()
or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects. The symptom
was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or
pg_filenode.map. If missing the directory, recovery would fail. Either
missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database
unusable. Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action
first and then write a WAL entry" strategy. That has a side benefit of
moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways
to PANIC. Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so
it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.

updates for the Antarctic stations Casey and Vostok.
Historical corrections for Vietnam, Toronto, and Miquelon.
Further fallout from commit 6ee26c6a4b. To keep code in sync and avoid
issues on older releases with different package names, simply use the
unqualified name like many other places in our code.
The path we wish to reparameterize is not a standalone object:
in particular, it implicitly references baserestrictinfo clauses
in the associated RelOptInfo, and if it's a SampleScan path then
there is also the TableSampleClause in the RTE to worry about.
Both of those could contain lateral references to the join partner
relation, which would need to be modified to refer to its child.
Since we aren't doing that, affected queries can give wrong answers,
or odd failures such as "variable not found in subplan target list",
or executor crashes. But we can't just summarily modify those
expressions, because they are shared with other paths for the rel.
We'd break things if we modify them and then end up using some
non-partitioned-join path.
In HEAD, we plan to fix this by postponing reparameterization
until create_plan(), when we know that those other paths are
no longer of interest, and then adjusting those expressions along
with the ones in the path itself. That seems like too big a change
for stable branches however. In the back branches, let's just detect
whether any troublesome lateral references actually exist in those
expressions, and fail reparameterization if so. This will result in
not performing a partitioned join in such cases. Given the lack of
field complaints, nobody's likely to miss the optimization.
Report and patch by Richard Guo. Apply to 12-16 only, since
the intended fix for HEAD looks quite different. We're not quite
ready to push the HEAD fix, but with back-branch releases coming
up soon, it seems wise to get this stopgap fix in place there.

This impacts the statistics retrieved in transactions for the following
views when updating the value of stats_fetch_consistency, leading to
behaviors contrary to what is documented since 605994651b as an update
of this parameter should discard all statistics snapshot data:
- pg_stat_archiver
- pg_stat_bgwriter
- pg_stat_checkpointer
- pg_stat_io
- pg_stat_slru
- pg_stat_wal
For example, updating stats_fetch_consistency from "snapshot" to "cache"
in a transaction did not re-fetch any fresh data, using data cached from
the time when "snapshot" was in use.

This commit addresses a set of issues when changing token type mappings
in a text search configuration when using duplicated token names:
- ADD MAPPING would fail on insertion because of a constraint failure
after inserting the same mapping.
- ALTER MAPPING with an "overridden" configuration failed with "tuple
already updated by self" when the token mappings are removed.
- DROP MAPPING failed with "tuple already updated by self", like
previously, but in a different code path.
The code is refactored so the token names (with their numbers) are
handled as a List with unique members rather than an array with numbers,
ensuring that no duplicates mess up with the catalog inserts, updates
and deletes. The list is generated by getTokenTypes(), with the same
error handling as previously while duplicated tokens are discarded from
the list used to work on the catalogs.
Regression tests are expanded to cover much more ground for the cases
fixed by this commit, as there was no coverage for the code touched in
this commit. A bit more is done regarding the fact that a token name
not supported by a configuration's parser should result in an error even
if IF EXISTS is used in a DROP MAPPING clause. This is implied in the
code but there was no coverage for that, and it was very easy to miss.
These issues exist since at least their introduction in core with
140d4ebcb4, so backpatch all the way down.

This commit is back-patched for the benefit of the aforementioned

In commit 272248a0c, we fixed the catalog lookup due to the wrong snapshot
for transactions and subtransactions during decoding. We failed to
consider the case where top-level xact is already marked as containing
catalog change but its subtransaction is not yet marked as containing
catalog change even though it contained such a change.
This can happen when during decoding, none of the WAL records from the
subtransaction was decoded and top-level xact contains a DDL.
We fix it by marking the transaction and all its subtransactions as
containing catalog changes if the top-level xact contains any catalog
change and it is present in the initial running xacts array.
This fix is required only for 14 and 15 because in prior branches we
already always mark the transaction and all its subtransactions as
containing catalog changes in the same case. In 16 and above, we preserve
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 perform addition of the days field of an interval via
arithmetic on the Julian-date representation of the timestamp's date.
This step is subject to int32 overflow, and we also should not let
the Julian date become very negative, for fear of weird results from
j2date. (In the timestamptz case, allow a Julian date of -1 to pass,
since it might convert back to zero after timezone rotation.)
The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also
overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional
checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases.
The difficulty here is that j2date's magic modular arithmetic could
produce something that looks like it's in-range.

plpgsql fails on new-style CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE commands within
a routine or DO block, because make_execsql_stmt believes that a
semicolon token always terminates a SQL command. Now, that's actually
been wrong since the day it was written, because CREATE RULE has long
allowed multiple rule actions separated by semicolons. But there are
few enough people using multi-action rules that there was never an
attempt to fix it. New-style SQL functions, though, are popular.
psql has this same problem of "does this semicolon really terminate
the command?". It deals with CREATE RULE by counting parenthesis
nesting depth: a semicolon within parens doesn't end a command.
Commits e717a9a18 and 029c5ac03 created a similar heuristic to count
matching BEGIN/END pairs (but only within CREATEs, so as not to be
fooled by plain BEGIN). That's survived several releases now without

Until now LWLockDequeueSelf() sequentially searched the list of waiters to see
if the current proc is still is on the list of waiters, or has already been
removed. In extreme workloads, where the wait lists are very long, this leads
to a quadratic behavior. #backends iterating over a list #backends
long. Additionally, the likelihood of needing to call LWLockDequeueSelf() in
the first place also increases with the increased length of the wait queue, as
it becomes more likely that a lock is released while waiting for the wait list
lock, which is held for longer during lock release.
Due to the exponential back-off in perform_spin_delay() this is surprisingly
hard to detect. We should make that easier, e.g. by adding a wait event around
the pg_usleep() - but that's a separate patch.
The fix is simple - track whether a proc is currently waiting in the wait list
or already removed but waiting to be woken up in PGPROC->lwWaiting.
In some workloads with a lot of clients contending for a small number of
lwlocks (e.g. WALWriteLock), the fix can substantially increase throughput.
This has been originally fixed for 16~ with a4adc31f69 without a
backpatch, and we have heard complaints from users impacted by this
quadratic behavior in older versions as well.

return NULL (a statically-allocated result is returned if OOM). So in

harm done.
However, in branch 14, pqPrepareAsyncResult() can indeed return NULL if
it runs out of memory. Fix things there by adding a null pointer check

When ExecBRUpdateTriggers switches to a new target tuple as a result
of the EvalPlanQual logic, it must form a new proposed update tuple.
Since commit 86dc90056, that tuple (the result of
ExecGetUpdateNewTuple) has been a virtual tuple that might contain
pointers to by-ref fields of the new target tuple (in "oldslot").
However, immediately after that we materialize oldslot, causing it to
drop its buffer pin, whereupon the by-ref pointers are unsafe to use.
This is a live bug only when the new target tuple is in a different
page than the original target tuple, since we do still hold a pin on
the original one. (Before 86dc90056, there was no bug because the
EPQ plantree would hold a pin on the new target tuple; but now that's
not assured.) To fix, forcibly materialize the new tuple before we
materialize oldslot. This costs nothing since we would have done that
shortly anyway.
The real-world impact of this is probably minimal. A visible failure
could occur if the new target tuple's buffer were recycled for some
other page in the short interval before we materialize newslot within
the trigger-calling loop; but that's quite unlikely given that we'd
just touched that page. There's a larger hazard that some other
process could prune and repack that page within the window. We have
lock on the new target tuple, but that wouldn't prevent it being moved
on the page.

We've long had a policy that any toasted fields in a catalog tuple
should be pulled in-line before entering the tuple in a catalog cache.
However, that requires access to the catalog's toast table, and we'll
typically do AcceptInvalidationMessages while opening the toast table.
So it's possible that the catalog tuple is outdated by the time we
finish detoasting it. Since no cache entry exists yet, we can't
mark the entry stale during AcceptInvalidationMessages, and instead
we'll press forward and build an apparently-valid cache entry. The
upshot is that we have a race condition whereby an out-of-date entry
could be made in a backend's catalog cache, and persist there
indefinitely causing indeterminate misbehavior.
To fix, use the existing systable_recheck_tuple code to recheck
whether the catalog tuple is still up-to-date after we finish
detoasting it. If not, loop around and restart the process of
searching the catalog and constructing cache entries from the top.
The case is rare enough that this shouldn't create any meaningful
performance penalty, even in the SearchCatCacheList case where
we need to tear down and reconstruct the whole list.
Indeed, the case is so rare that AFAICT it doesn't occur during
our regression tests, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way
to build a test that would exercise it reliably. To allow
testing of the retry code paths, add logic (in USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
builds only) that randomly pretends that the recheck failed about
one time out of a thousand. This is enough to ensure that we'll
pass through the retry paths during most regression test runs.
By adding an extra level of looping, this commit creates a need
to reindent most of SearchCatCacheMiss and SearchCatCacheList.
I'll do that separately, to allow putting those changes in
.git-blame-ignore-revs.

The code for wrapping subquery output expressions in PlaceHolderVars
believed that if the expression already was a PlaceHolderVar, it was
never necessary to wrap that in another one. That's wrong if the
expression is underneath an outer join and involves a lateral
reference to outside that scope: failing to add an additional PHV
risks evaluating the expression at the wrong place and hence not
forcing it to null when the outer join should do so. This is an
oversight in commit 9e7e29c75, which added logic to forcibly wrap
lateral-reference Vars in PlaceHolderVars, but didn't see that the
adjacent case for PlaceHolderVars needed the same treatment.

bail out if it does. The lack of trouble reports suggests that
this is only a latent bug, i.e. parallel workers don't actually
reach here with elevel < ERROR. (Per the code coverage report,
we never reach here at all in the regression suite.) But we clearly
don't want to risk proceeding if that does happen.

Like commit 388e80132, use "#pragma GCC system_header" to silence
warnings appearing within the Python headers, since newer Python
versions no longer worry about some restrictions we still use like
-Wdeclaration-after-statement.
This patch improves on 388e80132 by inventing a separate wrapper
header file, allowing the pragma to be tightly scoped to just
the Python headers and not other stuff we have laying about in
plpython.h. I applied the same technique to plperl for the same
reason: the original patch suppressed warnings for a good deal
of our own code, not only the Perl headers.

This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned
index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as
well. The rest of what spgGetCache() does is perfectly sensible
for a partitioned index, so we should allow it to go through.
I think the main takeaway from this is that we lack sufficient test
coverage for non-btree partitioned indexes. Therefore, I added
simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and
gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql).
Per bug #18256 from Alexander Lakhin. Although the known test case

Fix a bug during MERGE if a cross-partition update is attempted on a
partitioned table with a BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger that returns NULL,
to prevent the update. This would cause an error to be thrown, or an
assert failure in an assert-enabled build.
This was an oversight in 9321c79c86, which failed to properly
distinguish a DELETE prevented by a trigger from one prevented by a
concurrent update. Fix by having ExecDelete() return the TM_Result
status to ExecCrossPartitionUpdate(), so that it can distinguish the
two cases, and make ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() return the TM_Result
status to ExecUpdateAct(), so that it can return the correct status
from a concurrent update.
In addition, ensure that the command tag is correctly updated by
having ExecMergeMatched() pass canSetTag to ExecUpdateAct(), rather
than passing false, so that it updates the command tag if it does a
cross-partition update, making this code path in ExecMergeMatched()
consistent with ExecUpdate().

In v16 and up (since commit afbfc0298), large object ownership
checking has been broken because object_ownercheck() didn't take care
of the discrepancy between our object-address representation of large
objects (classId == LargeObjectRelationId) and the catalog where their
ownership info is actually stored (LargeObjectMetadataRelationId).
This resulted in failures such as "unrecognized class ID: 2613"
when trying to update blob properties as a non-superuser.
Poking around for related bugs, I found that AlterObjectOwner_internal
would pass the wrong classId to the PostAlterHook in the no-op code
path where the large object already has the desired owner. Also,
recordExtObjInitPriv checked for the wrong classId; that bug is only
latent because the stanza is dead code anyway, but as long as we're
carrying it around it should be less wrong. These bugs are quite old.
In HEAD, we can reduce the scope for future bugs of this ilk by
changing AlterObjectOwner_internal's API to let the translation happen
inside that function, rather than requiring callers to know about it.
A more bulletproof fix, perhaps, would be to start using
LargeObjectMetadataRelationId as the dependency and object-address
classId for blobs. However that has substantial risk of breaking
third-party code; even within our own code, it'd create hassles
for pg_dump which would have to cope with a version-dependent
representation. For now, keep the status quo.

Dead tuples are ignored and are not marked as dead during recovery, as
it can lead to MVCC issues on a standby because its xmin may not match
with the primary. This information is tracked by a field called
"xactStartedInRecovery" in the transaction state data, switched on when
starting a transaction in recovery.
Unfortunately, this information was not correctly tracked when starting
a subtransaction, because the transaction state used for the
subtransaction did not update "xactStartedInRecovery" based on the state
of its parent. This would cause index scans done in subtransactions to
return inconsistent data, depending on how the xmin of the primary
and/or the standby evolved.
This is broken since the introduction of hot standby in efc16ea520, so

OpenSSL will sometimes return SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL without having set
errno; this is apparently a reflection of recv(2)'s habit of not
setting errno when reporting EOF. Ensure that we treat such cases
the same as read EOF. Previously, we'd frequently report them like
"could not accept SSL connection: Success" which is confusing, or
worse report them with an unrelated errno left over from some
previous syscall.
To fix, ensure that errno is zeroed immediately before the call,
and report its value only when it's not zero afterwards; otherwise
report EOF.
For consistency, I've applied the same coding pattern in libpq's
pqsecure_raw_read(). Bare recv(2) shouldn't really return -1 without
setting errno, but in case it does we might as well cope.

The apply worker needs to update the state of the subscription tables to
'READY' during the synchronization phase which requires locking the
corresponding subscription. The apply worker also waits for the
subscription tables to reach the 'SYNCDONE' state after holding the locks
on the subscription and the wait is done using WaitLatch. The 'SYNCDONE'
state is changed by tablesync workers again by locking the corresponding
subscription. Both the state updates use AccessShareLock mode to lock the
subscription, so they can't block each other. However, a backend can
simultaneously try to acquire a lock on the same subscription using
AccessExclusiveLock mode to alter the subscription. Now, the backend's
wait on a lock can sneak in between the apply worker and table sync worker
causing deadlock.
In other words, apply_worker waits for tablesync worker which waits for
backend, and backend waits for apply worker. This is not detected by the
deadlock detector because apply worker uses WaitLatch.
The fix is to release existing locks in apply worker before it starts to
wait for tablesync worker to change the state.

When creating a partitioned index, the partition key must be a subset
of the index's columns. But this currently doesn't check that the
collations between the partition key and the index definition match.
So you can construct a unique index that fails to enforce uniqueness.
(This would most likely involve a nondeterministic collation, so it
would have to be crafted explicitly and is not something that would
just happen by accident.)
This patch adds the required collation check. As a result, any
previously allowed unique index that has a collation mismatch would no

We should have done it this way all along, but we accidentally got

52e4f0cd4 introduced a bug in pgoutput in which missing values in tuples
were incorrectly filled in with NULL. The problem was the use of
CreateTupleDescCopy where CreateTupleDescCopyConstr was required, as the
former drops the constraints in the tuple description (specifically, the
default value constraint) on the floor.
The bug could result in incorrectness when a table replicated via
`REPLICA IDENTITY FULL` underwent a schema change that added a column
with a default value. The problem is that in such cases updates fill NULL
values in old tuples for missing columns for default values. Then on the
subscriber, we failed to find a matching tuple and missed updating the

When using GSSAPI encryption in non-blocking mode, libpq sometimes
failed with "GSSAPI caller failed to retransmit all data needing
to be retried". The cause is that pqPutMsgEnd rounds its transmit
request down to an even multiple of 8K, and sometimes that can lead
to not requesting a write of data that was requested to be written
(but reported as not written) earlier. That can upset pg_GSS_write's
logic for dealing with not-yet-written data, since it's possible
the data in question had already been incorporated into an encrypted
packet that we weren't able to send during the previous call.
We could fix this with a one-or-two-line hack to disable pqPutMsgEnd's
round-down behavior, but that seems like making the caller work around
a behavior that pg_GSS_write shouldn't expose in this way. Instead,
adjust pg_GSS_write to never report a partial write: it either
reports a complete write, or reflects the failure of the lower-level
pqsecure_raw_write call. The requirement still exists for the caller
to present at least as much data as on the previous call, but with
the caller-visible write start point not moving there is no temptation
for it to present less. We lose some ability to reclaim buffer space
early, but I doubt that that will make much difference in practice.
This also gets rid of a rather dubious assumption that "any
interesting failure condition (from pqsecure_raw_write) will recur
on the next try". We've not seen failure reports traceable to that,
but I've never trusted it particularly and am glad to remove it.
Make the same adjustments to the equivalent backend routine
be_gssapi_write(). It is probable that there's no bug on the backend
side, since we don't have a notion of nonblock mode there; but we
should keep the logic the same to ease future maintenance.

When performing inlining LLVM unfortunately "leaks" types (the

recreate new structurally equivalent types). This accumulation
will over time amount to a memory leak which for some queries

To avoid accumulation of types, all IR related data is stored
in an LLVMContextRef which is dropped and recreated in order
to release all types. Dropping and recreating incurs overhead,
so it will be done only after 100 queries. This is a heuristic
which might be revisited, but until we can get the size of the

contain_mutable_functions and contain_volatile_functions give
reliable answers only after expression preprocessing (specifically
eval_const_expressions). Some places understand this, but some did
not get the memo --- which is not entirely their fault, because the
problem is documented only in places far away from those functions.
Introduce wrapper functions that allow doing the right thing easily,
and add commentary in hopes of preventing future mistakes from
copy-and-paste of code that's only conditionally safe.
Two actual bugs of this ilk are fixed here. We failed to preprocess
column GENERATED expressions before checking mutability, so that the
code could fail to detect the use of a volatile function
default-argument expression, or it could reject a polymorphic function
that is actually immutable on the datatype of interest. Likewise,
column DEFAULT expressions weren't preprocessed before determining if
it's safe to apply the attmissingval mechanism. A false negative
would just result in an unnecessary table rewrite, but a false
positive could allow the attmissingval mechanism to be used in a case
where it should not be, resulting in unexpected initial values in a
new column.
In passing, re-order the steps in ComputePartitionAttrs so that its
checks for invalid column references are done before applying
expression_planner, rather than after. The previous coding would
not complain if a partition expression contains a disallowed column
reference that gets optimized away by constant folding, which seems
to me to be a behavior we do not want.

checkExtensionMembership() set the DUMP_COMPONENT_SECLABEL and
DUMP_COMPONENT_POLICY flags for extension member objects, even though
we lack any infrastructure for tracking extensions' initial settings
of these properties. This is not OK. The result was that a dump
would always include commands to set these properties for extension
objects that have them, with at least three negative consequences:
1. The restoring user might not have privilege to set these properties
on these objects.
2. The properties might be incorrect/irrelevant for the version of the
extension that's installed in the destination database.
3. The dump itself might fail, in the case of RLS properties attached
to extension tables that the dumping user lacks privilege to LOCK.
(That's because we must get at least AccessShareLock to ensure that
we don't fail while trying to decompile the RLS expressions.)

When PQsendFlushRequest() was added by commit 69cf1d5429, we argued
against adding a PQflush() call in it[1]. This is still the right
decision: if the user wants a flush to occur, they can just call that.
However, we failed to realize that the message bytes could still be
given to the kernel for transmitting when this can be made without
blocking. That's what pqPipelineFlush() does, and it is done for every
single other message type sent by libpq, so do that.
(When the socket is in blocking mode this may indeed block, but that's
what all the other libpq message-sending routines do, too.)

false_positive_rate is a parameter that can be set with the bloom
opclass in BRIN, and setting it to a value of exactly 0.25 would trigger
an assertion in the first INSERT done on the index with value set.
The assertion changed here relied on BLOOM_{MIN|MAX}_FALSE_POSITIVE_RATE
that are somewhat arbitrary values, and specifying an out-of-range value
would also trigger a failure when defining such an index. So, as-is,
the assertion was just doubling on the min-max check of the reloption.
This is now enlarged to check that it is a correct percentage value,
instead, based on a suggestion by Tom Lane.

array_set_element() and related functions allow an array to be
enlarged by assigning to subscripts outside the current array bounds.
While these places were careful to check that the new bounds are
allowable, they neglected to consider the risk of integer overflow
in computing the new bounds. In edge cases, we could compute new
bounds that are invalid but get past the subsequent checks,
allowing bad things to happen. Memory stomps that are potentially
exploitable for arbitrary code execution are possible, and so is
disclosure of server memory.
To fix, perform the hazardous computations using overflow-detecting
arithmetic routines, which fortunately exist in all still-supported
branches.
The test cases added for this generate (after patching) errors that
mention the value of MaxArraySize, which is platform-dependent.
Rather than introduce multiple expected-files, use psql's VERBOSITY
parameter to suppress the printing of the message text. v11 psql
lacks that parameter, so omit the tests in that branch.

transformAggregateCall() captures the datatypes of the aggregate's
arguments immediately to construct the Aggref.aggargtypes list.
This seems reasonable because the arguments have already been
transformed --- but there is an edge case where they haven't been.
Specifically, if we have an unknown-type literal in an ANY argument
position, nothing will have been done with it earlier. But if we
also have DISTINCT, then addTargetToGroupList() converts the literal
to "text" type, resulting in the aggargtypes list not matching the
actual runtime type of the argument. The end result is that the
aggregate tries to interpret a "text" value as being of type
"unknown", that is a zero-terminated C string. If the text value
contains no zero bytes, this could result in disclosure of server
memory following the text literal value.
To fix, move the collection of the aggargtypes list to the end
of transformAggregateCall(), after DISTINCT has been handled.
This requires slightly more code, but not a great deal.

On the contrary, it could signal background workers, including the

and those two launchers doesn't stall progress beyond what one could
achieve other ways. If a cluster uses a non-core extension with a

When looping around after finding that the set-returning function
returned zero rows for the current input tuple, ExecProjectSet
neglected to reset either of the two memory contexts it's
responsible for cleaning out. Typically this wouldn't cause much
problem, because once the SRF does return at least one row, the
contexts would get reset on the next call. However, if the SRF
returns no rows for many input tuples in succession, quite a lot
of memory could be transiently consumed.
To fix, make sure we reset both contexts while looping around.

Debian recently decided to split out a bunch of "obsolete" timezone
names into a new tzdata-legacy package, which isn't installed by
default. One of these zone names is Pacific/Enderbury, and that
breaks our regression tests (on --with-system-tzdata builds)
because our default timezone abbreviations list defines PHOT as
Pacific/Enderbury.
Pacific/Enderbury got renamed to Pacific/Kanton in tzdata 2021b,
so that in distros that still have this entry it's just a symlink
to Pacific/Kanton anyway. So one answer would be to redefine PHOT
as Pacific/Kanton. However, then things would fail if the
installed tzdata predates 2021b, which is recent enough that that
seems like a real problem.
Instead, let's just remove PHOT from the default list. That seems
likely to affect nobody in the real world, because (a) it was an
abbreviation that the tzdb crew made up in the first place, with
no evidence of real-world usage, and (b) the total human population
of the Phoenix Islands is less than two dozen persons, per Wikipedia.
If anyone does use this zone abbreviation they can easily put it back
via a custom abbreviations file.
We'll keep PHOT in the Pacific.txt reference file, but change it
to Pacific/Kanton there, as that definition seems more likely to
be useful to future readers of that file.

When calculating distance for interval values, the code mostly mimicked
interval_mi, i.e. it built a new interval value for the difference.
That however does not work for sufficiently distant interval values,
when the difference overflows the interval range.
Instead, we can calculate the distance directly, without constructing
the intermediate (and unnecessary) interval value.

Make sure that infinite values in date/timestamp columns are treated as
if in infinite distance. Infinite values should not be merged with other
values, leaving them as outliers. The code however returned distance 0
in this case, so that infinite values were merged first. While this does
not break the index (i.e. it still produces correct query results), it
may make it much less efficient.
We don't need explicit handling of infinite date/timestamp values when
calculating distances, because those values are represented as extreme
but regular values (e.g. INT64_MIN/MAX for the timestamp type).
We don't need an exact distance, just a value that is much larger than
distanced between regular values. With the added cast to double values,
we can simply subtract the values.
The regression test queries a value in the "gap" and checks the range
was properly eliminated by the BRIN index.
This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp/date columns with
infinite values, which is not very common in practice. The affected
indexes may need to be rebuilt.

When calculating the distance between date values, make sure to subtract
them in the right order, i.e. (larger - smaller).
The distance is used to determine which values to merge, and is expected
to be a positive value. The code unfortunately did the subtraction in
the opposite order, i.e. (smaller - larger), thus producing negative
values and merging values the most distant values first.
The resulting index is correct (i.e. produces correct results), but may
be significantly less efficient. This affects all minmax-multi indexes
on date columns.

When calculating distances for timestamp values for BRIN minmax-multi
indexes, we need to be careful about overflows for extreme values. If
the value overflows into a negative value, the index may be inefficient.
The new regression test checks this for the timestamp type by adding a
table with enough values to force range compaction/merging. The values
are close to min/max, which means a risk of overflow.
Fixed by converting the int64 values to double first, before calculating
the distance. This prevents the overflow. We may lose some precision, of
course, but that's good enough. In the worst case we build a slightly
less efficient index, but for large distances this won't matter.
This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp columns, with ranges
containing values sufficiently distant to cause an overflow. That seems
like a fairly rare case in practice.

When an UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE's target table is an old-style
inheritance tree, it's possible for the parent to get excluded
from the plan while some children are not. (I believe this is
only possible if we can prove that a CHECK ... NO INHERIT
constraint on the parent contradicts the query WHERE clause,
so it's a very unusual case.) In such a case, ExecInitModifyTable
mistakenly concluded that the first surviving child is the target
table, leading to at least two bugs:
1. The wrong table's statement-level triggers would get fired.
2. In v16 and up, it was possible to fail with "invalid perminfoindex
0 in RTE with relid nnnn" due to the child RTE not having permissions
data included in the query plan. This was hard to reproduce reliably
because it did not occur unless the update triggered some non-HOT
index updates.
In v14 and up, this is easy to fix by defining ModifyTable.rootRelation
to be the parent RTE in plain inheritance as well as partitioned cases.
While the wrong-triggers bug also appears in older branches, the
relevant code in both the planner and executor is quite a bit
different, so it would take a good deal of effort to develop and
test a suitable patch. Given the lack of field complaints about the
trigger issue, I'll desist for now. (Patching v11 for this seems
unwise anyway, given that it will have no more releases after next
month.)

Remove use of LLVMGetElementType() and provide the type of all pointers
to LLVMBuildXXX() functions when emitting IR, as required by modern LLVM
versions[1].
* For LLVM <= 14, we'll still use the old LLVMBuildXXX() functions.
* For LLVM == 15, we'll continue to do the same, explicitly opting
out of opaque pointer mode.
* For LLVM >= 16, we'll use the new LLVMBuildXXX2() functions that take
the extra type argument.
The difference is hidden behind some new IR emitting wrapper functions
l_load(), l_gep(), l_call() etc. The change is mostly mechanical,
except that at each site the correct type had to be provided.
In some places we needed to do some extra work to get functions types,
including some new wrappers for C++ APIs that are not yet exposed by in
LLVM's C API, and some new "example" functions in llvmjit_types.c
because it's no longer possible to start from the function pointer type
and ask for the function type.
Back-patch to 12, because it's a little tricker in 11 and we agreed not
to put the latest LLVM support into the upcoming final release of 11.
