Tom Lane b72a44c51a Fix bogus tuple-slot management in logical replication UPDATE handling.
slot_modify_cstrings seriously abused the TupleTableSlot API by relying
on a slot's underlying data to stay valid across ExecClearTuple.  Since
this abuse was also quite undocumented, it's little surprise that the
case got broken during the v12 slot rewrites.  As reported in bug #16129
from Ondřej Jirman, this could lead to crashes or data corruption when
a logical replication subscriber processes a row update.  Problems would
only arise if the subscriber's table contained columns of pass-by-ref
types that were not being copied from the publisher.

Fix by explicitly copying the datum/isnull arrays from the source slot
that the old row was in already.  This ends up being about the same
thing that happened pre-v12, but hopefully in a less opaque and
fragile way.

We might've caught the problem sooner if there were any test cases
dealing with updates involving non-replicated or dropped columns.
Now there are.

Back-patch to v10 where this code came in.  Even though the failure
does not manifest before v12, IMO this code is too fragile to leave
as-is.  In any case we certainly want the additional test coverage.

Patch by me; thanks to Tomas Vondra for initial investigation.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
