Tom Lane 1518d07842 Fix crash when logical decoding is invoked from a PL function.
The logical decoding functions do BeginInternalSubTransaction and
RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction to clean up after themselves.
It turns out that AtEOSubXact_SPI has an unrecognized assumption that
we always need to cancel the active SPI operation in the SPI context
that surrounds the subtransaction (if there is one).  That's true
when the RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction call is coming from
the SPI-using function itself, but not when it's happening inside
some unrelated function invoked by a SPI query.  In practice the
affected callers are the various PLs.

To fix, record the current subtransaction ID when we begin a SPI
operation, and clean up only if that ID is the subtransaction being
canceled.

Also, remove AtEOSubXact_SPI's assertion that it must have cleaned
up the surrounding SPI context's active tuptable.  That's proven
wrong by the same test case.

Also clarify (or, if you prefer, reinterpret) the calling conventions
for _SPI_begin_call and _SPI_end_call.  The memory context cleanup
in the latter means that these have always had the flavor of a matched
resource-management pair, but they weren't documented that way before.

Per report from Ben Chobot.

Back-patch to 9.4 where logical decoding came in.  In principle,
the SPI changes should go all the way back, since the problem dates
back to commit 7ec1c5a86.  But given the lack of field complaints
it seems few people are using internal subtransactions in this way.
So I don't feel a need to take any risks in 9.2/9.3.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
