When compiling Postgres with OpenSSL 1.0.1 or older versions, SCRAM's
channel binding cannot be supported as X509_get_signature_nid() is
needed, which causes a regression test with channel_binding='require' to
fail as the server cannot publish SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS as SASL mechanism
over an SSL connection.
Fix the issue by using a method similar to c3d41cc, making the test
result conditional. The test passes if X509_get_signature_nid() is
present, and when missing we test for a connection failure. Testing a
connection failure is more useful than skipping the test as we should
fail the connection if channel binding is required by the client but the
server does not support it.

In v11 or before, recovery target settings could not take effect in
crash recovery because they are specified in recovery.conf and
crash recovery always starts without recovery.conf. But commit
2dedf4d9a8 integrated recovery.conf into postgresql.conf and
which unexpectedly allowed recovery target settings to take effect
even in crash recovery. This is definitely not good behavior.

In the course of 5567d12ce0, 356687bd8 and 317ffdfeaa, I changed
BuildTupleHashTable[Ext]'s call to ExecBuildGroupingEqual to not pass
in the parent node, but NULL. Which in turn prevents the tuple
equality comparator from being JIT compiled. While that fixes
bug #15486, it is not actually necessary after all of the above commits,
as we don't re-build the comparator when using the new
BuildTupleHashTableExt() interface (as the content of the hashtable
are reset, but the TupleHashTable itself is not).
Therefore re-allow jit compilation for callers that use
BuildTupleHashTableExt with a separate context for "metadata" and
content.
As in the previous commit, there's ongoing work to make this easier to
test to prevent such regressions in the future, but that
infrastructure is not going to be backpatchable.
The performance impact of not JIT compiling hashtable equality
comparators can be substantial e.g. for aggregation queries that
aggregate a lot of input rows to few output rows (when there are a lot
of output groups, there will be fewer comparisons).

Backpatch: 11, just as 5567d12ce0
For many queries the fact that the tuple descriptor from the lower
node was not taken into account when determining whether the type of a
slot is fixed, lead to tuple deforming for such upper nodes not to be
JIT accelerated.
I broke this in 675af5c01e.
There is ongoing work to enable writing regression tests for related
behavior (including a patch that would have detected this
regression), by optionally showing such details in EXPLAIN. But as it
seems unlikely that that will be suitable for stable branches, just
merge the fix for now.
While it's fairly close to the 12 release window, the fact that 11
continues to perform JITed tuple deforming in these cases, that
there's still cases where we do so in 12, and the fact that the
performance regression can be sizable, weigh in favor of fixing it

This commit implements jsonpath .datetime() method as it's specified in
SQL/JSON standard. There are no-argument and single-argument versions of
this method. No-argument version selects first of ISO datetime formats
matching input string. Single-argument version accepts template string as
its argument.
Additionally to .datetime() method itself this commit also implements
comparison ability of resulting date and time values. There is some difficulty
because exising jsonb_path_*() functions are immutable, while comparison of
timezoned and non-timezoned types involves current timezone. At first, current
timezone could be changes in session. Moreover, timezones themselves are not
immutable and could be updated. This is why we let existing immutable functions
throw errors on such non-immutable comparison. In the same time this commit
provides jsonb_path_*_tz() functions which are stable and support operations
involving timezones. As new functions are added to the system catalog,
catversion is bumped.
Support of .datetime() method was the only blocker prevents T832 from being

Since shared_buffers needed to be scanned multiple times,

If the bitstring length is not a multiple of 8, we'd shift the
rightmost bits into the pad space, which must be zeroes --- bit_cmp,
for one, depends on that. This'd lead to the result failing to
compare equal to what it should compare equal to, as reported in
bug #16013 from Daryl Waycott.
This is, if memory serves, not the first such bug in the bitstring
functions. In hopes of making it the last one, do a bit more work
than minimally necessary to fix the bug:
* Add assertion checks to bit_out() and varbit_out() to complain if
they are given incorrectly-padded input. This will improve the
odds that manual testing of any new patch finds problems.
* Encapsulate the padding-related logic in macros to make it
easier to use.
Also, remove unnecessary padding logic from bit_or() and bitxor().
Somebody had already noted that we need not re-pad the result of
bit_and() since the inputs are required to be the same length,
but failed to extrapolate that to the other two.
Also, move a comment block that once was near the head of varbit.c
(but people kept putting other stuff in front of it), to put it in
the header block.
Note for the release notes: if anyone has inconsistent data as a
result of saving the output of bitshiftright() in a table, it's
possible to fix it with something like
UPDATE mytab SET bitcol = ~(~bitcol) WHERE bitcol != ~(~bitcol);

Move the responsibility for advancing the NOTIFY queue tail pointer
from the listener(s) to the notification sender, and only have the
sender do it once every few queue pages, rather than after every batch
of notifications as at present. This reduces the number of times we
execute asyncQueueAdvanceTail, and reduces contention when there are
multiple listeners (since that function requires exclusive lock).
This change relies on the observation that we don't really need the tail
pointer to be exactly up-to-date. It's certainly not necessary to
attempt to release disk space more often than once per SLRU segment.
The only other usage of the tail pointer is that an incoming listener,
if it's the only listener in its database, will need to scan the queue
forward from the tail; but that's surely a less performance-critical
path than routine sending and receiving of notifies. We compromise by
advancing the tail pointer after every 4 pages of output, so that it
shouldn't get more than a few pages behind.
Also, when sending signals to other backends after adding notify
message(s) to the queue, recognize that only backends in our own
database are going to care about those messages, so only such
backends really need to be awakened promptly. Backends in other
databases should get kicked if they're well behind on reading the
queue, else they'll hold back the global tail pointer; but wakening
them for every single message is pointless. This change can
substantially reduce signal traffic if listeners are spread among
many databases. It won't help for the common case of only a single
active database, but the extra check costs very little.

Since we introduced the idea of leakproof functions, texteq and textne
were marked leakproof but their sibling text comparison functions were
not. This inconsistency seemed justified because texteq/textne just
relied on memcmp() and so could easily be seen to be leakproof, while
the other comparison functions are far more complex and indeed can
throw input-dependent errors.
However, that argument crashed and burned with the addition of
nondeterministic collations, because now texteq/textne may invoke
the exact same varstr_cmp() infrastructure as the rest. It makes no
sense whatever to give them different leakproofness markings.
After a certain amount of angst we've concluded that it's all right
to consider varstr_cmp() to be leakproof, mostly because the other
choice would be disastrous for performance of many queries where
leakproofness matters. The input-dependent errors should only be
reachable for corrupt input data, or so we hope anyway; certainly,
if they are reachable in practice, we've got problems with requirements
as basic as maintaining a btree index on a text column.
Hence, run around to all the SQL functions that derive from varstr_cmp()
and mark them leakproof. This should result in a useful gain in
flexibility/performance for queries in which non-leakproofness degrades
the efficiency of the query plan.
Back-patch to v12 where nondeterministic collations were added.
While this isn't an essential bug fix given the determination
that varstr_cmp() is leakproof, we might as well apply it now that
we've been forced into a post-beta4 catversion bump.

text_pattern_ops and its siblings can't be used with nondeterministic
collations, because they use the text_eq operator which will not behave
as bitwise equality if applied with a nondeterministic collation. The
initial implementation of that restriction was to insert a run-time test
in the related comparison functions, but that is inefficient, may throw
misleading errors, and will throw errors in some cases that would work.
It seems sufficient to just prevent the combination during CREATE INDEX,
so do that instead.
Lacking any better way to identify the opclasses involved, we need to
hard-wire tests for them, which requires hand-assigned values for their
OIDs, which forces a catversion bump because they previously had OIDs
that would be assigned automatically. That's slightly annoying in the
v12 branch, but fortunately we're not at rc1 yet, so just do it.

Although the SQL/JSON tech report makes reference to ECMAScript which
allows both single- and double-quoted strings, all the rest of the
report speaks only of double-quoted string literals in jsonpaths.
That's more compatible with JSON itself; moreover single-quoted strings
are hard to use inside a jsonpath that is itself a single-quoted SQL
literal. So guess that the intent is to allow only double-quoted
literals, and remove lexer support for single-quoted literals.
It'll be less painful to add this again later if we're wrong, than to
remove a shipped feature.
Also, adjust the lexer so that unrecognized backslash sequences are
treated as just meaning the escaped character, not as errors. This

This commit improves subject in two ways:
* It removes ugliness of 02f90879e7, which stores distance values and null
flags in two separate arrays after GISTSearchItem struct. Instead we pack
both distance value and null flag in IndexOrderByDistance struct. Alignment
overhead should be negligible, because we typically deal with at most few
"col op const" expressions in ORDER BY clause.
* It fixes handling of "col op NULL" expression in KNN-SP-GiST. Now, these
expression are not passed to support functions, which can't deal with them.
Instead, NULL result is implicitly assumed. It future we may decide to
teach support functions to deal with NULL arguments, but current solution is
bugfix suitable for backpatch.

Make the error messages around GSSAPI encryption a bit clearer. Tweak
some messages to avoid plural problems.
Also make a code change for clarity. Using "conf" for "confidential"
is quite confusing. Using "conf_state" is perhaps not much better but
that's what the GSSAPI documentation uses, so there is at least some
hope of understanding it.
The sample output assumes non-standard-conforming interpretation of
backslashes in input literals, so the actual output didn't match.
Noticed while perusing another patch that touches this file.
Evidently this code is seldom checked, so I'm not going to bother
backpatching this fix.
The SQL spec defers to XQuery to define what the option flags are
for LIKE_REGEX patterns. XQuery says that:
* 's' allows the dot character to match newlines, which by
default it will not;
* 'm' allows ^ and $ to match at newlines, not only at the
start/end of the whole string.
Thus, these are *not* inverses as they are for the similarly-named
POSIX options, and neither one corresponds to the POSIX 'n' option.
Fortunately, Spencer's library does expose these two behaviors as
separately twiddlable flags, so we just have to fix the mapping from
JSP flag bits to REG flag bits. I also chose to rename the symbol
for 's' to DOTALL, to make it clearer that it's not the inverse
of MLINE.
Also, XQuery says that if the 'q' flag "is used together with the m, s,
or x flag, that flag has no effect". I read this as saying that 'q'
overrides the other flags; whoever wrote our code seems to have read
it backwards.
Lastly, while XQuery's 'x' flag is related to what Spencer's code
does for REG_EXPANDED, it's not the same or a subset. It seems best
to treat XQuery's 'x' as unimplemented for now. Maybe later we can
expand our regex code to offer 'x'-style parsing as a separate option.
While at it, refactor the jsonpath code so that (a) there's only
one copy of the flag transformation logic not two, and (b) the
processing of flags is independent of the order in which the flags
are written.
We need some documentation updates to go with this, but I'll
tackle that separately.

This is a second try at what commit 57431a911 tried to do, namely,
launch the syslogger before we open postmaster sockets so that our
messages about the sockets end up in the syslogger files. That
commit fell foul of a bunch of subtle issues caused by trying to
launch a postmaster child process before creating shared memory.
Rather than messing with that interaction, let's postpone opening
the sockets till after we launch the syslogger.
This would not have been terribly safe before commit 7de19fbc0,
because we relied on socket opening to detect whether any competing
postmasters were using the same port number. But now that we choose
IPC keys without regard to the port number, there's no interaction
to worry about.
Also delay creation of the external PID file (if requested) till after
the sockets are open, since external code could plausibly be relying
on that ordering of events. And postpone most of the work of
RemovePgTempFiles() so that that potentially-slow processing still
happens after we make the external PID file. We have to be a bit
careful about that last though: as noted in the discussion subsequent to
bug #15804, EXEC_BACKEND builds still have to clear the parameter-file
temp dir before launching the syslogger.

When building statistics, we need to decide how many rows to sample and
how accurate the resulting statistics should be. Until now, it was not
possible to explicitly define statistics target for extended statistics
objects, the value was always computed from the per-attribute targets
with a fallback to the system-wide default statistics target.
That's a bit inconvenient, as it ties together the statistics target set
for per-column and extended statistics. In some cases it may be useful
to require larger sample / higher accuracy for extended statics (or the
other way around), but with this approach that's not possible.
So this commit introduces a new command, allowing to specify statistics
target for individual extended statistics objects, overriding the value
derived from per-attribute targets (and the system default).
ALTER STATISTICS stat_name SET STATISTICS target_value;
When determining statistics target for an extended statistics object we
first look at this explicitly set value. When this value is -1, we fall
back to the old formula, looking at the per-attribute targets first and
then the system default. This means the behavior is backwards compatible
with older PostgreSQL releases.

Up to now, async.c scanned its whole array of per-backend state
whenever it needed to find listening backends. That's expensive
if MaxBackends is large, so extend the data structure with list
links that thread the active entries together.
A downside of this change is that asyncQueueUnregister (unregister
a listening backend at backend exit) now requires exclusive not shared
lock, and it can take awhile if there are many other listening
backends. We could improve the latter issue by using a doubly- not
singly-linked list, but it's probably not worth the storage space;
typical usage patterns for LISTEN/NOTIFY have fairly long-lived
listeners.
In return for that, Exec_ListenPreCommit (initially register a
listening backend), SignalBackends, and asyncQueueAdvanceTail
get significantly faster when MaxBackends is much larger than
the number of listening backends. If most of the potential
backend slots are listening, we don't win, but that's a case
where the actual interprocess-signal overhead is going to swamp
these considerations anyway.

Backpatch to all live branches.
In ad0bda5d24 I changed the EvalPlanQual machinery to store
substitution tuples in slot, instead of using plain HeapTuples. The
main motivation for that was that using HeapTuples will be inefficient
for future tableams. But it turns out that that conversion was buggy
for non-locking rowmarks - the wrong tuple descriptor was used to
create the slot.
As a secondary issue 5db6df0c0 changed ExecLockRows() to begin EPQ
earlier, to allow to fetch the locked rows directly into the EPQ
slots, instead of having to copy tuples around. Unfortunately, as Tom
complained, that forces some expensive initialization to happen
earlier.
As a third issue, the test coverage for EPQ was clearly insufficient.
Fixing the first issue is unfortunately not trivial: Non-locked row
marks were fetched at the start of EPQ, and we don't have the type
information for the rowmarks available at that point. While we could
change that, it's not easy. It might be worthwhile to change that at
some point, but to fix this bug, it seems better to delay fetching
non-locking rowmarks when they're actually needed, rather than
eagerly. They're referenced at most once, and in cases where EPQ
fails, might never be referenced. Fetching them when needed also
increases locality a bit.
To be able to fetch rowmarks during execution, rather than
initialization, we need to be able to access the active EPQState, as
that contains necessary data. To do so move EPQ related data from
EState to EPQState, and, only for EStates creates as part of EPQ,
reference the associated EPQState from EState.
To fix the second issue, change EPQ initialization to allow use of
EvalPlanQualSlot() to be used before EvalPlanQualBegin() (but
obviously still requiring EvalPlanQualInit() to have been done).
As these changes made struct EState harder to understand, e.g. by
adding multiple EStates, significantly reorder the members, and add a
lot more comments.
Also add a few more EPQ tests, including one that fails for the first
issue above. More is needed.

increasing the unsuppressable-chatter level from ALTER TABLE

drop these messages down to DEBUG1 where they belong. So as
not to have a loss of test coverage, create a TAP test that

and greps for the expected messages.
This testing method is a bit brute-force --- in particular,
it duplicates the execution of a fair amount of the core
create_table and alter_table tests. We experimented with
other solutions, but running any significant amount of

As a result of some long-ago quick hacks, the SIMILAR TO operator
and the corresponding flavor of substring() interpreted "ESCAPE NULL"
as selecting the default escape character '\'. This is both
surprising and not per spec: the standard is clear that these
functions should return NULL for NULL input.
Additionally, because of inconsistency of the strictness markings
of 3-argument substring() and similar_escape(), the planner could not
inline the SQL definition of substring(), resulting in a substantial
performance penalty compared to the underlying POSIX substring()
function.
The simplest fix for this would be to change the strictness marking
of similar_escape(), but if we do that we risk breaking existing views
that depend on that function. Hence, leave similar_escape() as-is
as a compatibility function, and instead invent a new function
similar_to_escape() that comes in two strict variants.
There are a couple of other behaviors in this area that are also
not per spec, but they are documented and seem generally at least
as sane as the spec's definition, so leave them alone. But improve
the documentation to describe them fully.

This approach provides a much tighter binding between a data directory
and the associated SysV shared memory block (and SysV or named-POSIX
semaphores, if we're using those). Key collisions are still possible,
but only between data directories stored on different filesystems,
so the situation should be negligible in practice. More importantly,
restarting the postmaster with a different port number no longer
risks failing to identify a relevant shared memory block, even when
postmaster.pid has been removed. A standalone backend is likewise
much more certain to detect conflicting leftover backends.
(In the longer term, we might now think about deprecating the port as
a cluster-wide value, so that one postmaster could support sockets
with varying port numbers. But that's for another day.)
The hazards fixed here apply only on Unix systems; our Windows code
paths already use identifiers derived from the data directory path
name rather than the port.
src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl, which intends to test key-collision
cases, has been substantially rewritten since it can no longer use
two postmasters with identical port numbers to trigger the case.
Instead, use Perl's IPC::SharedMem module to create a conflicting
shmem segment directly. The test script will be skipped if that
module is not available. (This means that some older buildfarm

toast_internals.c/h contain functions that are used internally to the

heaptoast.c/h contains code that is intrinsically specific to the

Use the explicit_bzero() function in places where it is important that
security information such as passwords is cleared from memory. There
might be other places where it could be useful; this is just an
initial collection.
For platforms that don't have explicit_bzero(), provide various
fallback implementations. (explicit_bzero() itself isn't standard,
but as Linux/glibc, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD have it, it's the most common
spelling, so it makes sense to make that the invocation point.)

The logic ending progress reporting for a backend entry introduced by
b6fb647 causes callers of pgstat_progress_end_command() to do some extra
work when track_activities is enabled as the process fields are reset in
the backend entry even if no command were started for reporting.
This resets the fields only if a command is registered for progress
reporting, and only if track_activities is enabled.

Backpatch-through: 9.6
Since the addition of fsync requests in bc34223 to make base backup data
consistent on disk once pg_basebackup finishes, each tablespace tar file
is individually flushed once completed, with an additional flush of the
parent directory when the base backup finishes. While holding a
connection to the server, a fsync request taking a long time may cause a
failure of the base backup, which is annoying for any integration. A
recent example of breakage can involve tcp_user_timeout, but
wal_sender_timeout can cause similar problems.
While reviewing the code, there was a second issue causing too many
fsync requests to be done for the same WAL data. As recursive fsyncs
are done at the end of the backup for both the plain and tar formats
from the base target directory where everything is written, it is fine
to disable fsyncs when fetching or streaming WAL.

In what seems like a fit of misplaced optimization,
ExtractReplicaIdentity() accessed the relation's replica-identity
index without taking any lock on it. Usually, the surrounding query
already holds some lock so this is safe enough ... but in the case
of a previously-planned delete, there might be no existing lock.
Given a suitable test case, this is exposed in v12 and HEAD by an
assertion added by commit b04aeb0a0.
The whole thing's rather poorly thought out anyway; rather than
looking directly at the index, we should use the index-attributes
bitmap that's held by the parent table's relcache entry, as the
caller functions do. This is more consistent and likely a bit
faster, since it avoids a cache lookup. Hence, change to doing it
that way.
While at it, rather than blithely assuming that the identity
columns are non-null (with catastrophic results if that's wrong),
add assertion checks that they aren't null. Possibly those should
be actual test-and-elog, but I'll leave it like this for now.
In principle, this is a bug that's been there since this code was
introduced (in 9.4). In practice, the risk seems quite low, since
we do have a lock on the index's parent table, so concurrent
changes to the index's catalog entries seem unlikely. Given the
precedent that commit 9c703c169 wasn't back-patched, I won't risk
back-patching this further than v12.

After an unexpected connection loss and successful reconnection,
psql neglected to resynchronize its internal state about the server,
such as server version. Ordinarily we'd be reconnecting to the same
server and so this isn't really necessary, but there are scenarios
where we do need to update --- one example is where we have a list
of possible connection targets and they're not all alike.
Define "resynchronize" as including connection_warnings(), so that
this case acts the same as \connect. This seems useful; for example,
if the server version did change, the user might wish to know that.
An attuned user might also notice that the new connection isn't
SSL-encrypted, for example, though this approach isn't especially
in-your-face about such changes. Although this part is a behavioral
change, it only affects interactive sessions, so it should not break
any applications.
Also, in do_connect, make sure that we desynchronize correctly when
abandoning an old connection in non-interactive mode.
These problems evidently are the result of people patching only one
of the two places where psql deals with connection changes, so insert
some cross-referencing comments in hopes of forestalling future bugs
of the same ilk.
Lastly, in Windows builds, issue codepage mismatch warnings only at
startup, not during reconnections. psql's codepage can't change
during a reconnect, so complaining about it again seems like useless
noise.

Similarly to the signed versions added in 4d6ad31, this adds a set of
inline functions for overflow checks with unsigned integers, including
uint16, uint32 and uint64. This relies on compiler built-in overflow
checks by default if available. The behavior of unsigned integers is
well-defined so the fallback implementations checks are simple for
additions and subtractions. Multiplications avoid division-based checks
which are expensive if possible, still this can happen for uint64 if
128-bit integers are not available.

The comment did not match what the code actually did for integers with
the 43rd bit set. You get an integer like that, if you have a posting
list with two adjacent TIDs that are more than 2^31 blocks apart.
According to the comment, we would store that in 6 bytes, with no
continuation bit on the 6th byte, but in reality, the code encodes it
using 7 bytes, with a continuation bit on the 6th byte as normal.
The decoding routine also handled these 7-byte integers correctly, except
for an overflow check that assumed that one integer needs at most 6 bytes.
Fix the overflow check, and fix the comment to match what the code
actually does. Also fix the comment that claimed that there are 17 unused
bits in the 64-bit representation of an item pointer. In reality, there
are 64-32-11=21.
Fitting any item pointer into max 6 bytes was an important property when
this was written, because in the old pre-9.4 format, item pointers were
stored as plain arrays, with 6 bytes for every item pointer. The maximum
of 6 bytes per integer in the new format guaranteed that we could convert
any page from the old format to the new format after upgrade, so that the
new format was never larger than the old format. But we hardly need to
worry about that anymore, and running into that problem during upgrade,
where an item pointer is expanded from 6 to 7 bytes such that the data
doesn't fit on a page anymore, is implausible in practice anyway.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
This also includes a little test module to test these large distances
between item pointers, without requiring a 16 TB table. It is not

RelationAllowsEarlyPruning() performed a catalog scan, but is used

The check was introduced in commit 2cc41acd8 and defended against a

robust, removed the concept of a half-dead internal page. Remove a
comment about half dead parent pages that was overlooked.
An empty file name or subdirectory name leads join_path_components() to
just produce the parent directory name, which leads to weird failures or
recursive inclusions. Let's throw a specific error for that. It takes
only slightly more code to detect all-blank names, so do so.
Also, detect direct recursion, ie a file calling itself. As coded
this will also detect recursion via "include_dir '.'", which is
perhaps more likely than explicitly including the file itself.
Detecting indirect recursion would require API changes for guc-file.l
functions, which seems not worth it since extensions might call them.
The nesting depth limit will catch such cases eventually, just not
with such an on-point error message.

If a test case tried to set an invalid value of synchronous_standby_names,
the test script didn't detect that, which seems like a bad idea.
Noticed while testing a proposed patch that broke some of these
test cases.
A report from Alvaro Herrera shows that if we're in PM_STARTUP
state, and we spawn a dead_end child to reject some incoming
connection request, and that child dies with an unexpected exit
code, the postmaster does not respond well. We correctly send
SIGQUIT to the startup process, but then:
* if the startup process exits with nonzero exit code, as expected,
we thought that that indicated a crash and aborted startup.
* if the startup process exits with zero exit code, which is possible
due to the inherent race condition, we'd advance to PM_RUN state
which is fine --- but the code forgot that AbortStartTime would be
nonzero in this situation. We'd either die on the Asserts saying
that it was zero, or perhaps misbehave later on. (A quick look
suggests that the only misbehavior might be busy-waiting due to
DetermineSleepTime doing the wrong thing.)
To fix the first point, adjust the state-machine logic to recognize
that a nonzero exit code is expected after sending SIGQUIT, and have
it transition to a state where we can restart the startup process.
To fix the second point, change the Asserts to clear the variable
rather than just claiming it should be clear already.
Perhaps we could improve this further by not treating a crash of
a dead_end child as a reason for panic'ing the database. However,
since those child processes are connected to shared memory, that
seems a bit risky. There are few good reasons for a dead_end child
to report failure anyway (the cause of this in Alvaro's report is
quite unclear). On balance, therefore, a minimal fix seems best.
This is an oversight in commit 45811be94. While that was back-patched,
I'm hesitant to back-patch this change. The lack of reasons for a
dead_end child to fail suggests that the case should be very rare in
the field, which squares with the lack of reports; so it seems like
this might not be worth the risk of introducing new issues. In any
case we can let it bake awhile in HEAD before considering a back-patch.

If the record argument is NULL and has no declared type more concrete
than RECORD, we can't extract useful information about the desired
rowtype from it. In this case, see if we're in FROM with an AS clause,
and if so extract the needed rowtype info from AS.
It worked like this before v11, but commit 37a795a60 removed the
behavior, reasoning that it was undocumented, inefficient, and utterly
not self-consistent. If you want to take type info from an AS clause,
you should be using the json_to_record() family of functions not the
json_populate_record() family. Also, it was already the case that
the "populate" functions would fail for a null-valued RECORD input
(with an unfriendly "record type has not been registered" error)
when there wasn't an AS clause at hand, and it wasn't obvious that
that behavior wasn't OK when there was one. However, it emerges
that some people were depending on this to work, and indeed the
rather off-point error message you got if you left off AS encouraged
slapping on AS without switching to the json_to_record() family.
Hence, put back the fallback behavior of looking for AS. While at it,
improve the run-time error you get when there's no place to obtain type
info; we can do a lot better than "record type has not been registered".
(We can't, unfortunately, easily improve the parse-time error message
that leads people down this path in the first place.)

IANA tzcode release 2019b adds an option that tells zic not to emit
the old 32-bit section of the timezone files, and to skip some other
space-wasting hacks needed for compatibility with old timezone client
libraries. Since we only expect our own code to use the timezone data
we install, and our code is up-to-date with 2019b, there's no apparent
reason not to generate the smallest possible files.
Unfortunately, while the individual zone files do get significantly
smaller in many cases, they were not that big to begin with; which
means that no real space savings ensues on filesystems that don't
optimize small files. (For instance, on ext4 with 4K block size,
"du" says the installed timezone tree is the same size as before.)
Still, it seems worth making the change, if only because this is
presumably the wave of the future. At the very least, we'll save
some cycles while reading a zone file.
But given the marginal value and the fact that this is a new code

Remove use of "register" keyword in hashfn.c. It's obsolescent

much attention to it either.
Also fix one cosmetic warning about signed vs unsigned comparison.

This has to have <time.h>, or the references to "struct tm" don't
mean what they should.
We have some other recently-introduced issues of the same ilk,
but this one seems old. No backpatch though, as it's only a
latent problem for most purposes.
If a table inherits from multiple unrelated parents, we must disallow
changing the type of a column inherited from multiple such parents, else
it would be out of step with the other parents. However, it's possible
for the column to ultimately be inherited from just one common ancestor,
in which case a change starting from that ancestor should still be
allowed. (I would not be excited about preserving that option, were
it not that we have regression test cases exercising it already ...)
It's slightly annoying that this patch looks different from the logic
with the same end goal in renameatt(), and more annoying that it
requires an extra syscache lookup to make the test. However, the
recursion logic is quite different in the two functions, and a
back-patched bug fix is no place to be trying to unify them.
Per report from Manuel Rigger. Back-patch to 9.5. The bug exists in
9.4 too (and doubtless much further back); but the way the recursion
is done in 9.4 is a good bit different, so that substantial refactoring
would be needed to fix it in 9.4. I'm disinclined to do that, or risk
introducing new bugs, for a bug that has escaped notice for this long.

This test failed fairly reproducibly on some CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS
buildfarm animals. The cause seems to be that if a parallel worker
is slow enough to reach its lock wait, it may not be released by
the first deadlock check run, and then later deadlock checks might
decide to unblock the d2 session instead of the d1 session, leaving
us in an undetected deadlock state (since the isolationtester client
is waiting for d1 to complete first).
Fix by introducing an additional lock wait at the end of the d2a1
step, ensuring that the deadlock checker will recognize that d1
has to be unblocked before d2a1 completes.
Also reduce max_parallel_workers_per_gather to 3 in this test. With the
default max_worker_processes value, we were only getting one parallel
worker for the d2a1 step, which is not the case I hoped to test. We
should get 3 for d1a2 and 2 for d2a1, as the code stands; and maybe 3
for d2a1 if somebody figures out why the last parallel worker slot isn't
free already.

If an assertion expression contained a macro, the failed assertion
message would print the expanded macro, which is usually unhelpful and
confusing. Restructure the Assert macros to not expand any macros
when constructing the failure message.
This also fixes that the existing output for Assert et al. shows
the *inverted* condition, which is also confusing and not how
assertions usually work.

For most uses of acl.h the details of how "Acl" internally looks like
are irrelevant. It might make sense to move a lot of the
implementation details into a separate header at a later point.
The main motivation of this change is to avoid including fmgr.h (via
array.h, which needs it for exposed structs) in a lot of files that
otherwise don't need it. A subsequent commit will remove the fmgr.h
include from a lot of files.
Directly include utils/array.h and utils/expandeddatum.h from the
files that need them, but previously included them indirectly, via
acl.h.

This is a variant of the problem fixed in commit 25b692568, which
unfortunately we failed to detect at the time. If an update trigger
returns the "old" tuple, as it's entitled to do, then a subsequent
iteration of the loop in ExecBRUpdateTriggers would have "oldtuple"
equal to "trigtuple" and would fail to notice that it shouldn't
free that.
In addition to fixing the code, extend the test case added by
25b692568 so that it covers multiple-trigger-iterations cases.
This problem does not manifest in v12/HEAD, as a result of the
relevant code having been largely rewritten for slotification.
However, include the test case into v12/HEAD anyway, since this
is clearly an area that someone could break again in future.

Commit 4b93f5799 rearranged things in plpgsql to make it cope better with
composite types changing underneath it intra-session. However, I failed to
consider the case of a composite type being dropped and recreated entirely.
In my defense, the previous coding didn't consider that possibility at all
either --- but it would accidentally work so long as you didn't change the
type's field list, because the built-at-compile-time list of component
variables would then still match the type's new definition. The new
coding, however, occasionally tries to re-look-up the type by OID, and
then fails to find the dropped type.
To fix this, we need to save the TypeName struct, and then redo the type
OID lookup from that. Of course that's expensive, so we don't want to do
it every time we need the type OID. This can be fixed in the same way that
4b93f5799 dealt with changes to composite types' definitions: keep an eye
on the type's typcache entry to see if its tupledesc has been invalidated.
(Perhaps, at some point, this mechanism should be generalized so it can
work for non-composite types too; but for now, plpgsql only tries to
cope with intra-session redefinitions of composites.)
I'm slightly hesitant to back-patch this into v11, because it changes
the contents of struct PLpgSQL_type as well as the signature of
plpgsql_build_datatype(), so in principle it could break code that is
poking into the innards of plpgsql. However, the only popular extension
of that ilk is pldebugger, and it doesn't seem to be affected. Since
this is a regression for people who were relying on the old behavior,
it seems worth taking the small risk of causing compatibility issues.
Per bug #15913 from Daniel Fiori. Back-patch to v11 where 4b93f5799
came in.

Previously, async.c got rid of duplicate notifications by scanning
the list of pending events to compare each one to the proposed new
event. This works okay for very small numbers of distinct events,
but degrades as O(N^2) for many events. We can improve matters by
using a hash table to probe for duplicates. So as not to add a
lot of overhead for the simple cases that the code did handle well
before, create the hash table only once a (sub)transaction has
queued more than 16 distinct notify events.
A downside is that we now have to do per-event work to propagate
a successful subtransaction's notify events up to its parent.
(But this isn't significant unless the subtransaction had many
events, in which case the O(N^2) behavior would have been in
play already, so we still come out ahead.)
We can make some lemonade out of this lemon, though: since we must
examine each event anyway, it's now possible to de-duplicate events
fully, rather than skipping that for events merged up from
subtransactions. Hence, remove the old weasel wording in notify.sgml
about whether de-duplication happens or not, and adjust the test
case in async-notify.spec that exhibited the old behavior.
While at it, rearrange the definition of struct Notification to make
it more compact and require just one palloc per event, rather than
two or three. This saves space when there are a lot of events,
in fact more than enough to buy back the space needed for the hash
table.
Patch by me, based on discussions around a different patch
submitted by Filip Rembiałkowski.

ALTER SYSTEM itself normally won't make duplicate entries (although
up till this patch, it was possible to confuse it by writing case
variants of a GUC's name). However, if some external tool has appended
entries to the file, that could result in duplicate entries for a single
GUC name. In such a situation, ALTER SYSTEM did exactly the wrong thing,
because it replaced or removed only the first matching entry, leaving
the later one(s) still there and hence still determining the active value.
This patch fixes that by making ALTER SYSTEM sweep through the file and
remove all matching entries, then (if not ALTER SYSTEM RESET) append the
new setting to the end. This means entries will be in order of last
setting rather than first setting, but that shouldn't hurt anything.
Also, make the comparisons case-insensitive so that the right things
happen if you do, say, ALTER SYSTEM SET "TimeZone" = 'whatever'.
This has been broken since ALTER SYSTEM was invented, so back-patch
to all supported branches.

The initial value of the nbtree stack downlink block number field
recorded during an initial descent of the tree wasn't actually used.
Both _bt_getstackbuf() callers overwrote the value with their own value.
Remove the block number field from the stack struct, and add a child
block number argument to _bt_getstackbuf() in its place. This makes the
overall design of _bt_getstackbuf() clearer.

This is a fix similar to 2d7d67cc, where slight plan alteration can
cause a random failure of this regression test because of an incorect
tuple ordering, except that this one involves lookups of pg_type.
Similarly to the other case, add ORDER BY clauses to ensure the output
order.
The failure has been seen at least once on buildfarm member skink.

Commit d2086b08b0 removed almost all cases where nbtree must release a
read buffer lock and acquire a write buffer lock instead, so remaining
cases in which that's still necessary are not notable enough to appear
in the nbtree README.
More importantly, holding on to a buffer pin in cases where nbtree must
trade a read lock for a write lock is very unlikely to save any I/O.
This seems to have been a long overlooked throwback to a time when
nbtree cared about write-ordering dependencies, and performed
synchronous buffer writes. It hasn't worked that way in many years.
Commit 07b39083c inserted an unconditional reference to pg_opfamily,
which of course fails on servers predating that catalog. Fortunately,
the case it's trying to solve can't occur on such old servers (AFAIK).
Hence, just skip the additional code when the source predates 8.3.

Use the PageIndexTupleOverwrite() bufpage.c routine within nbtree
instead of deleting a tuple and re-inserting its replacement. This
makes the intent of affected code slightly clearer. It also makes
CREATE INDEX slightly faster, since there is no longer a need to shift
every leaf page's line pointer array back and forth during index builds.

We only need to invoke constraint exclusion on partitioned tables when
they are a partition, and they themselves contain a default partition;
it's not necessary otherwise, and it's expensive, so avoid it. Also, we
were trying once for each clause separately, but we can do it for all
the clauses at once.
While at it, centralize setting of RelOptInfo->partition_qual instead of
computing it in slightly different ways in different places.

This test case could fail because of an incorrect result ordering when
looking up at pg_class entries. This commit adds an ORDER BY to the
culprit query. The cause of the failure was likely caused by a plan
switch. By default, the planner would likely choose an index-only scan
or an index scan, but even a small change in the startup cost could have
caused a bitmap heap scan to be chosen, causing the failure.
While on it, switch some filtering quals to a regular expression as per
an idea of Tom Lane. As previously shaped, the quals would have
selected any relations whose name begins with "temp". And that could
cause failures if another test running in parallel began to use similar
relation names.
Per report from buildfarm member anole, though the failure was very
rare. This test has been introduced by 319a810, so backpatch down to
v10.

As coded, the ICU-collation path in pattern_char_isalpha() failed
to consider regular ASCII letters to be case-varying. This led to
like_fixed_prefix treating too much of an ILIKE pattern as being a

miss entries that they should find.
