the replicated result.

Corruption of redirect item pointers often only becomes visible well after
being corrupted, as e.g. bug #17255 shows: In the original reproducer,
gigabyte of WAL were between the source of the corruption and the corruption
becoming visible.
To make it easier to find / prevent such bugs, verify whether redirect
pointers are sensible at the end of heap_page_prune_execute(). 5cd7eb1f1c
introduced related assertions while modifying the page, but they can't easily
detect marking the target of an existing redirect as unused. Sometimes the
corruption will be detected later, but that's harder to diagnose.

Since dc7420c2c9 the horizon used for pruning is determined "lazily". A more
accurate horizon is built on-demand, rather than in GetSnapshotData(). If a
horizon computation is triggered between two HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() calls
for the same tuple, the result can change from RECENTLY_DEAD to DEAD.
heap_page_prune() can process the same tid multiple times (once following an
update chain, once "directly"). When the result of HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum()
of a tuple changes from RECENTLY_DEAD during the first access, to DEAD in the
second, the "tuple is DEAD and doesn't chain to anything else" path in
heap_prune_chain() can end up marking the target of a LP_REDIRECT ItemId
unused.
Initially not easily visible,
Once the target of a LP_REDIRECT ItemId is marked unused, a new tuple version
can reuse it. At that point the corruption may become visible, as index
entries pointing to the "original" redirect item, now point to a unrelated
tuple.
To fix, compute HTSV for all tuples on a page only once. This fixes the entire
class of problems of HTSV changing inside heap_page_prune(). However,
visibility changes can obviously still occur between HTSV checks inside
heap_page_prune() and outside (e.g. in lazy_scan_prune()).
The computation of HTSV is now done in bulk, in heap_page_prune(), rather than
on-demand in heap_prune_chain(). Besides being a bit simpler, it also is
faster: Memory accesses can happen sequentially, rather than in the order of
HOT chains.
There are other causes of HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() results changing between
two visibility checks for the same tuple, even before dc7420c2c9. E.g.
HEAPTUPLE_INSERT_IN_PROGRESS can change to HEAPTUPLE_DEAD when a transaction
aborts between the two checks. None of the these other visibility status
changes are known to cause corruption, but heap_page_prune()'s approach makes
it hard to be confident.
A patch implementing a more fundamental redesign of heap_page_prune(), which
fixes this bug and simplifies pruning substantially, has been proposed by
Peter Geoghegan in
https://postgr.es/m/CAH2-WzmNk6V6tqzuuabxoxM8HJRaWU6h12toaS-bqYcLiht16A@mail.gmail.com
However, that redesign is larger change than desirable for backpatching. As
the new design still benefits from the batched visibility determination
introduced in this commit, it makes sense to commit this narrower fix to 14

This is similar to b69aba7, except that this completes the work for
HMAC with a new routine called pg_hmac_error() that would provide more
context about the type of error that happened during a HMAC computation:
- The fallback HMAC implementation in hmac.c relies on cryptohashes, so
in some code paths it is necessary to return back the error generated by
cryptohashes.
- For the OpenSSL implementation (hmac_openssl.c), the logic is very
similar to cryptohash_openssl.c, where the error context comes from
OpenSSL if one of its internal routines failed, with different error
codes if something internal to hmac_openssl.c failed or was incorrect.
Any in-core code paths that use the centralized HMAC interface are
related to SCRAM, for errors that are unlikely going to happen, with
only SHA-256. It would be possible to see errors when computing some
HMACs with MD5 for example and OpenSSL FIPS enabled, and this commit
would help in reporting the correct errors but nothing in core uses
that. So, at the end, no backpatch to v14 is done, at least for now.
Errors in SCRAM related to the computation of the server key, stored
key, etc. need to pass down the potential error context string across
more layers of their respective call stacks for the frontend and the
backend, so each surrounding routine is adapted for this purpose.

Commit 9dc718bd added a "logically unchanged by UPDATE" hinting
mechanism, which is currently used within nbtree indexes only (see
commit d168b666). This mechanism determined whether or not the incoming
item is a logically unchanged duplicate (a duplicate needed only for
MVCC versioning purposes) once per row updated per non-HOT update. This
approach led to memory leaks which were noticeable with an UPDATE
statement that updated sufficiently many rows, at least on tables that
happen to have an expression index.
On HEAD, fix the issue by adding a cache to the executor's per-index
IndexInfo struct.
Take a different approach on Postgres 14 to avoid an ABI break: simply
pass down the hint to all indexes unconditionally with non-HOT UPDATEs.
This is deemed acceptable because the hint is currently interpreted
within btinsert() as "perform a bottom-up index deletion pass if and
when the only alternative is splitting the leaf page -- prefer to delete
any LP_DEAD-set items first". nbtree must always treat the hint as a
noisy signal about what might work, as a strategy of last resort, with
costs imposed on non-HOT updaters. (The same thing might not be true
within another index AM that applies the hint, which is why the original
behavior is preserved on HEAD.)

When building append paths, we've been looking only at startup and total

the cheapest one, because it may be dominated by two separate paths (one

This extends generate_orderedappend_paths() to also consider which paths
have lowest fractional cost. Currently we only consider paths matching

The point of this patch is to reduce inclusion spam by not needing
to #include <netdb.h> or <pwd.h> in port.h (which is read by every
compile in our tree). To do that, we must remove port.h's
declarations of pqGetpwuid and pqGethostbyname.
pqGethostbyname is only used, and is only ever likely to be used,
in src/port/getaddrinfo.c --- which isn't even built on most
platforms, making pqGethostbyname dead code for most people.
Hence, deal with that by just moving it into getaddrinfo.c.
To clean up pqGetpwuid, invent a couple of simple wrapper
functions with less-messy APIs. This allows removing some
duplicate error-handling code, too.
In passing, remove thread.c from the MSVC build, since it
contains nothing we use on Windows.

The existing cryptohash facility was causing problems in some code paths
related to MD5 (frontend and backend) that relied on the fact that the
only type of error that could happen would be an OOM, as the MD5
implementation used in PostgreSQL ~13 (the in-core implementation is
used when compiling with or without OpenSSL in those older versions),
could fail only under this circumstance.
The new cryptohash facilities can fail for reasons other than OOMs, like
attempting MD5 when FIPS is enabled (upstream OpenSSL allows that up to
1.0.2, Fedora and Photon patch OpenSSL 1.1.1 to allow that), so this
would cause incorrect reports to show up.
This commit extends the cryptohash APIs so as callers of those routines
can fetch more context when an error happens, by using a new routine
called pg_cryptohash_error(). The error states are stored within each
implementation's internal context data, so as it is possible to extend
the logic depending on what's suited for an implementation. The default
implementation requires few error states, but OpenSSL could report
various issues depending on its internal state so more is needed in
cryptohash_openssl.c, and the code is shaped so as we are always able to
grab the necessary information.
The core code is changed to adapt to the new error routine, painting
more "const" across the call stack where the static errors are stored,
particularly in authentication code paths on variables that provide
log details. This way, any future changes would warn if attempting to
free these strings. The MD5 authentication code was also a bit blurry
about the handling of "logdetail" (LOG sent to the postmaster), so
improve the comments related that, while on it.
The origin of the problem is 87ae969, that introduced the centralized
cryptohash facility. Extra changes are done for pgcrypto in v14 for the
non-OpenSSL code path to cope with the improvements done by this
commit.

get applied to any nodetree that can appear in a cataloged pg_node_tree
column. Some such cases can't be supported --- for example, its API

we should try to throw a user-facing error rather than an internal

In support of this, extend expression_tree_walker/mutator to be sure
they'll work on any such node tree (which basically means adding
support for relpartbound node types). That allows us to run pull_varnos

If contrib/btree_gist is used to make a GIST index on a char(N)
(bpchar) column, and that column is retrieved via an index-only
scan, what came out had all trailing spaces removed. Since
that doesn't happen in any other kind of table scan, this is
clearly a bug. The cause is that gbt_bpchar_compress() strips
trailing spaces (using rtrim1) before a new index entry is made.
That was probably a good idea when this code was first written,
but since we invented index-only scans, it's not so good.
One answer could be to mark this opclass as incapable of index-only
scans. But to do so, we'd need an extension module version bump,
followed by manual action by DBAs to install the updated version
of btree_gist. And it's not really a desirable place to end up,
anyway.
Instead, let's fix the code by removing the unwanted space-stripping
action and adjusting the opclass's comparison logic to ignore
trailing spaces as bpchar normally does. This will not hinder
cases that work today, since index searches with this logic will
act the same whether trailing spaces are stored or not. It will
not by itself fix the problem of getting space-stripped results
from index-only scans, of course. Users who care about that can
REINDEX affected indexes after installing this update, to immediately
replace all improperly-truncated index entries. Otherwise, it can
be expected that the index's behavior will change incrementally as
old entries are replaced by new ones.

Commit db7d1a7b05 missed a couple of places that needed adjustment now
we are not building pgcrypto when openssl is not configured, causing
contrib installcheck to fail in such a case.
Commit 449ab63505 added postgres_fdw.application_name GUC that specifies
a value for application_name configuration parameter used when postgres_fdw
establishes a connection to a foreign server. Also commit 6e0cb3dec1
allowed it to include escape sequences. Both commits added the regression
tests for the GUC, but those tests were reverted by commits 98dbef90eb and
5e64ad3697 because they were unstable and caused some buildfarm members
to report the failure.
This is the third try to add the regression test for
postgres_fdw.application_name GUC.
One of issues to make the test unstable was to have used
postgres_fdw_disconnect_all() to close the existing remote connections.
The test expected that the remote connection and its corresponding backend
at the remote server disappeared just after postgres_fdw_disconnect_all()
was executed, but it could take a bit time for them to disappear.
To make sure that they exit, this commit makes the test use
pg_terminate_backend() with the timeout at the remote server, instead.
If the timeout is set to greater than zero, this function waits until
they are actually terminated (or until the given time has passed).
Another issue was that the test didn't take into consideration the case
where postgres_fdw.application_name containing some escape sequences was
converted to the string larger than NAMEDATALEN. In this case it was
truncated to less than NAMEDATALEN when it's passed to the remote server,
but the test expected wrongly that full string of application_name was
always viewable. This commit changes the test so that it can handle that case.

pg_basebackup is able to use gzip to compress the contents of backups
with the tar format, but there were no tests for that. This adds a
minimalistic set of tests to check the contents of such base backups,
including sanity checks on the contents generated with gzip commands.
The tests are skipped if Postgres is compiled --without-zlib, and the
checks based on the gzip command are skipped if nothing can be found,
following the same model as the existing tests for pg_receivewal.
