Tom Lane f7873900f3 Revise RelationBuildRowSecurity() to avoid memory leaks.
This function leaked some memory while loading qual clauses for
an RLS policy.  While ordinarily negligible, that could build up
in some repeated-reload cases, as reported by Konstantin Knizhnik.
We can improve matters by borrowing the coding long used in
RelationBuildRuleLock: build stringToNode's result directly in
the target context, and remember to explicitly pfree the
input string.

This patch by no means completely guarantees zero leaks within
this function, since we have no real guarantee that the catalog-
reading subroutines it calls don't leak anything.  However,
practical tests suggest that this is enough to resolve the issue.
In any case, any remaining leaks are similar to those risked by
RelationBuildRuleLock and other relcache-loading subroutines.
If we need to fix them, we should adopt a more global approach
such as that used by the RECOVER_RELATION_BUILD_MEMORY hack.

While here, let's remove the need for an expensive PG_TRY block by
using MemoryContextSetParent to reparent an initially-short-lived
context for the RLS data.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

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:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

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.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
