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.

During XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay, we were checking for a
cleanup lock on the new bucket page after acquiring an exclusive lock on
it and raising a PANIC error on failure. However, it is quite possible
that checkpointer can acquire the pin on the same page before acquiring a
lock on it, and then the replay will lead to an error. So instead, directly
acquire the cleanup lock on the new bucket page during
XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay operation.

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 The concern has been retracted.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.

The stanza "SET STORAGE may need to add a TOAST table" does not
test what it's supposed to, and hasn't done so since we added
the ability to store constant column default values as metadata.
We need to use a non-constant default to get the expected table
rewrite to actually happen.
Fix that, and add the missing checks that would have exposed the

In commit 450ee7012 I supposed that all platforms we now care about have
snprintf(), since that's required by C99. Turns out that Microsoft did
not get around to adding that until VS2015. We've dropped support for
VS2013 as of HEAD (cf 6203583b7), but not in the back branches, so add
a hack for this in the back branches only.
There's no easy shortcut to an exact emulation of standard snprintf
in VS2013, but fortunately we don't need one: this code was just fine
with using sprintf before 450ee7012, so we can make it do so again
on that platform (and any others where the problem might crop up).

Commit f56f8f8da6 added some code in CloneFkReferencing that's way too
lax about a Constraint node it manufactures, not initializing enough
struct members -- initially_valid in particular was forgotten. This
causes some FKs in partitions added by ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION to
be marked as not validated. Set initially_valid true, which fixes the

If a syntax error occurred in a SQL-language or PL/pgSQL-language
CREATE FUNCTION or DO command executed in a logical replication worker,
we'd suffer a null pointer dereference or assertion failure. That
seems like a rather contrived case, but nonetheless worth fixing.
The cause is that function_parse_error_transpose assumes it must be
executing within the context of a Portal, but logical/worker.c
doesn't create a Portal since it's not running the standard executor.
We can just back off the hard Assert check and make it fail gracefully
if there's not an ActivePortal. (I have a feeling that the aggressive
check here was my fault originally, probably because I wasn't sure if
the case would always hold and wanted to find out. Well, now we know.)

If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform,
but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of
failing. It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set

but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks.
This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit

Since partitions can be foreign tables not only plain tables, but
logical replication only supports plain tables, we'd better check the
relkind of a partition after we find it. (There was some discussion
of checking this when adding a partitioned table to a subscription;
but that would be inadequate since the troublesome partition could be
added later.) Without this, the situation leads to a segfault or
assertion failure.
In passing, add a separate variable for the target Relation of

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.

The executor will dump core if it's asked to execute a seqscan on

If the non-recursive term of a SEARCH BREADTH FIRST recursive

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

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

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.

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)

The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to

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.

annoying compiler warnings but changes no behavior. Hence,

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

while forming the function cache lookup key. This allows the specific

in AssertCheckRanges() too. It does not look like any of these problems

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

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
for a long time.) The threshold of 1000 bytes is arbitrary.

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.

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.

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.

Security: CVE-2022-2625
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
an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension.

src/test/recovery/t/033_replay_tsp_drops more reliable, but it wasn't
enough. Try to improve on that by making this use of a replication slot
to be more like others. Also, don't drop the slot.
Make a few other stylistic changes while at it. It's still quite slow,
which is another thing that we need to fix in this script.

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.
Per report from Danny Shemesh. Thanks to Justin Pryzby for
preliminary investigation.

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.
Backpatch all the way back to 11, like bbb927b4db. Care is taken not
to break ABI compatibility (and that no catversion bump is needed.)

Commit fac1b470a thought we could check for set-returning functions
by testing only the top-level node in an expression tree. This is
wrong in itself, and to make matters worse it encouraged others
to make the same mistake, by exporting tlist.c's special-purpose
IS_SRF_CALL() as a widely-visible macro. I can't find any evidence
that anyone's taken the bait, but it was only a matter of time.
Use expression_returns_set() instead, and stuff the IS_SRF_CALL()
genie back in its bottle, this time with a warning label. I also
added a couple of cross-reference comments.
After a fair amount of fooling around, I've despaired of making
a robust test case that exposes the bug reliably, so no test case
here. (Note that the test case added by fac1b470a is itself
broken, in that it doesn't notice if you remove the code change.
The repro given by the bug submitter currently doesn't fail either
in v15 or HEAD, though I suspect that may indicate an unrelated bug.)

The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise
every permutation of their test steps, but AFAICS there is no value in
exercising more than one. This matters because each permutation costs
about six seconds, thanks to the "pg_sleep(6)". Perhaps we could
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.
However, the buildfarm runs this as a serial step, which means we can
expect to shave ~40 seconds from every buildfarm run. That makes it
worth back-patching.

I thought commit fd96d14d9 had plugged all the holes of this sort,
but no, function RTEs could produce oversize tuples too, either
via long coldeflists or just from multiple functions in one RTE.
(I'm pretty sure the other variants of base RTEs aren't a problem,
because they ultimately refer to either a table or a sub-SELECT,
whose widths are enforced elsewhere. But we explicitly allow join
RTEs to be overwidth, as long as you don't try to form their
tuple result.)

Backpatch to all live branches like the original.
A RowExpr with more than MaxTupleAttributeNumber columns would fail at
execution anyway, since we cannot form a tuple datum with more than that
many columns. While heap_form_tuple() has a check for too many columns,
it emerges that there are some intermediate bits of code that don't
check and can be driven to failure with sufficiently many columns.
Checking this at parse time seems like the most appropriate place to
install a defense, since we already check SELECT list length there.
While at it, make the SELECT-list-length error use the same errcode
(TOO_MANY_COLUMNS) as heap_form_tuple does, rather than the generic
PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

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.

On Windows with MSVC, get_dirent_type() was recently made to return
DT_LNK for junction points by commit 9d3444dc, which fixed some
defective dirent.c code.
On Windows with Cygwin, get_dirent_type() already worked for symlinks,
as it does on POSIX systems, because Cygwin has its own fake symlinks
that behave like POSIX (on closer inspection, Cygwin's dirent has the
BSD d_type extension but it's probably always DT_UNKNOWN, so we fall
back to lstat(), which understands Cygwin symlinks with S_ISLNK()).
On Windows with MinGW/MSYS, we need extra code, because the MinGW
runtime has its own readdir() without d_type, and the lstat()-based
fallback has no knowledge of our convention for treating junctions as
symlinks.

We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block",
meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail
to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state.
However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for
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

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.

When a non-exclusive backup is canceled, do_pg_abort_backup() is called
and resets some variables set by pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14

This issue could cause an assertion failure when the session running

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.

Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering

every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which
seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions,
but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe.
Opt-in seems like a better way.)
For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection.

always change other call sites as we find problems.

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.
Backpatch all the way, except for the second part which only goes back
to 14, where JOIN USING aliases were added.

When we changed some built-in functions to use anycompatiblearray
instead of anyarray, we created a dump/restore hazard for user-defined
operators and aggregates relying on those functions: the user objects
have to be modified to change their signatures similarly. This causes
pg_upgrade to fail partway through if the source installation contains
such objects. We generally try to have pg_upgrade detect such hazards
and fail before it does anything exciting, so add logic to detect
this case too.

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
change. I'm betting against the importance of such an ECPG use case.
Most SQL execution (any using ECPGdo()) has long required newlocale()

Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in
IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL or O_CREAT | O_EXCL, as appropriate. Solaris's
shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't
ereport and then we blithely assumed the mapping was successful.
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
small number of parallel workers under one Gather node. You could
probably hit it if you tried hard enough though, and we should have been
more defensive in the first place. Therefore, back-patch to all

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
interpreter, which leaks Python stack entries at present and is reported
to crash Python 3.11 altogether. Add the missing logic to catch such
errors and convert them into Python exceptions.
This is a back-patch of commit 2e517818f. That's now aged long enough
to reduce the concerns about whether it will break something, and we
do need to ensure that supported branches will work with Python 3.11.

by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both

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

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.

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.

In order to estimate the cache hit ratio of a Memoize node, one of the
inputs we require is the estimated number of times the Memoize node will
be rescanned. The higher this number, the large the cache hit ratio is
likely to become. Unfortunately, the value being passed as the number of
"calls" to the Memoize was incorrectly using the Nested Loop's
outer_path->parent->rows instead of outer_path->rows. This failed to
account for the fact that the outer_path might be parameterized by some
upper-level Nested Loop.
This problem could lead to Memoize plans appearing more favorable than
they might actually be. It could also lead to extended executor startup
times when work_mem values were large due to the planner setting overly
large MemoizePath->est_entries resulting in the Memoize hash table being
initially made much larger than might be required.
Fix this simply by passing outer_path->rows rather than
outer_path->parent->rows. Also, adjust the expected regression test
output for a plan change.

Backpatch-through: 14, where Memoize was introduced
If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different
than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still
processing, this function could miss an update of the control file for
"checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or
removal of the past WAL segments, assuming that the to-be-updated LSN
values should be used as reference points for the cleanup. This causes
a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a
missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by
the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or
crashed before the completion of this checkpoint. The PANIC would be
caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a
segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with
"checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file.
This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so
as "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" are updated even if the cluster has
been promoted while a restartpoint is running, to be on par with the set
of WAL segments actually recycled in the end of CreateRestartPoint().
7863ee4 has fixed this problem already on master, but the release timing
of the latest point versions did not let me enough time to study and fix

The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always
exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment. However,
vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this
default setup to assume that a command should always be present would
cause failures. This commit improves the detection of such external
commands as follows:
* If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it.
* If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the
current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be
portable enough).
** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}.
** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command".
Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that
we assume will always exist. Those commands are set up in the
environment only when using bincheck and taptest. The CI includes all
those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there. I
have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of
those commands.
While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and

The tests added in 9f8a050f68 failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the

accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some
optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,
notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.
Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and
doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because
all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every

db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using

Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.

This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that
it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the
end of recovery. This standby uses the archives of the primary to
restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from
the first standby previously promoted. In slow environments, it was
possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file
generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on
the archives the second standby feeds on. So, it could be possible that
the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a
history file at all.
This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file
required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is
created. This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an
absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.
While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has
been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby. This
ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,
is created in the first place. This should make the test more robust.
This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an
effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command
calls made the test much slower.
