Doc: Fix misleading statement about VACUUM memory limits

In ec34040af I added a mention that there was no point in setting  
maintenance_work_limit to anything higher than 1GB for vacuum, but that  
was incorrect as ginInsertCleanup() also looks at what  
maintenance_work_mem is set to during VACUUM and that's not limited to  
1GB.  
  
Here I attempt to make it more clear that the limitation is only around  
the number of dead tuple identifiers that we can collect during VACUUM.  
  
I've also added a note to autovacuum_work_mem to mention this limitation.  
I didn't do that in ec34040af as I'd had some wrong-headed ideas about  
just limiting the maximum value for that GUC to 1GB.

Rather than trying to pick table aliases that won't conflict with  
any possible user-defined matview column name, adjust the queries'  
syntax so that the aliases are only used in places where they can't be  
mistaken for column names.  Mostly this consists of writing "alias.*"  
not just "alias", which adds clarity for humans as well as machines.  
We do have the issue that "SELECT alias.*" acts differently from  
"SELECT alias", but we can use the same hack ruleutils.c uses for  
whole-row variables in SELECT lists: write "alias.*::compositetype".  
  
We might as well revert to the original aliases after doing this;  
they're a bit easier to read.

Formerly, the numeric code tested whether an integer value of a larger  
type would fit in a smaller type by casting it to the smaller type and  
then testing if the reverse conversion produced the original value.  
That's perfectly fine, except that it caused a test failure on  
buildfarm animal castoroides, most likely due to a compiler bug.  
  
Instead, do these tests by comparing against PG_INT16/32_MIN/MAX. That  
matches existing code in other places, such as int84(), which is more  
widely tested, and so is less likely to go wrong.  
  
While at it, add regression tests covering the numeric-to-int8/4/2  
conversions, and adjust the recently added tests to the style of  
434ddfb79a (on the v11 branch) to make failures easier to diagnose.

Fix division-by-zero error in to_char() with 'EEEE' format.

This fixes a long-standing bug when using to_char() to format a  
numeric value in scientific notation -- if the value's exponent is  
less than -NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE-1 (-1001), it produced a  
division-by-zero error.  
  
The reason for this error was that get_str_from_var_sci() divides its  
input by 10^exp, which it produced using power_var_int(). However, the  
underflow test in power_var_int() causes it to return zero if the  
result scale is too small. That's not a problem for power_var_int()'s  
only other caller, power_var(), since that limits the rscale to 1000,  
but in get_str_from_var_sci() the exponent can be much smaller,  
requiring a much larger rscale. Fix by introducing a new function to  
compute 10^exp directly, with no rscale limit. This also allows 10^exp  
to be computed more efficiently, without any numeric multiplication,  
division or rounding.

This fixes a couple of related problems that arise when raising  
numbers to very large powers.  
  
Firstly, when raising a negative number to a very large integer power,  
the result should be well-defined, but the previous code would only  
cope if the exponent was small enough to go through power_var_int().  
Otherwise it would throw an internal error, attempting to take the  
logarithm of a negative number. Fix this by adding suitable handling  
to the general case in power_var() to cope with negative bases,  
checking for integer powers there.  
  
Next, when raising a (positive or negative) number whose absolute  
value is slightly less than 1 to a very large power, the result should  
approach zero as the power is increased. However, in some cases, for  
sufficiently large powers, this would lose all precision and return 1  
instead of 0. This was due to the way that the local_rscale was being  
calculated for the final full-precision calculation:  
  
  local_rscale = rscale + (int) val - ln_dweight + 8  
  
The first two terms on the right hand side are meant to give the  
number of significant digits required in the result ("val" being the  
estimated result weight). However, this failed to account for the fact  
that rscale is clipped to a maximum of NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE  
(1000), and the result weight might be less then -1000, causing their  
sum to be negative, leading to a loss of precision. Fix this by  
forcing the number of significant digits calculated to be nonnegative.  
It's OK for it to be zero (when the result weight is less than -1000),  
since the local_rscale value then includes a few extra digits to  
ensure an accurate result.  
  
Finally, add additional underflow checks to exp_var() and power_var(),  
so that they consistently return zero for cases like this where the  
result is indistinguishable from zero. Some paths through this code  
already returned zero in such cases, but others were throwing overflow  
errors.

This changes the behavior of examining the pg_file_settings view after  
changing a config option that requires restart.  The user needs to know  
that any change of such options does not take effect until a restart,  
and this worked correctly if the line is edited without removing it.  
However, for the case where the line is removed altogether, the flag  
doesn't get set, because a flag was only set in set_config_option, but  
that's not called for lines removed.  Repair.

The error messages using the word "non-negative" are confusing  
because it's ambiguous about whether it accepts zero or not.  
This commit improves those error messages by replacing it with  
less ambiguous word like "greater than zero" or  
"greater than or equal to zero".  
  
Also this commit added the note about the word "non-negative" to  
the error message style guide, to help writing the new error messages.  
  
When postgres_fdw option fetch_size was set to zero, previously  
the error message "fetch_size requires a non-negative integer value"  
was reported. This error message was outright buggy. Therefore  
back-patch to all supported versions where such buggy error message  
could be thrown.

pg_resetxlog: add option to set oldest xid & use by pg_upgrade

Add pg_resetxlog -u option to set the oldest xid in pg_control.  
Previously -x set this value be -2 billion less than the -x value.  
However, this causes the server to immediately scan all relation's  
relfrozenxid so it can advance pg_control's oldest xid to be inside the  
autovacuum_freeze_max_age range, which is inefficient and might disrupt  
diagnostic recovery.  pg_upgrade will use this option to better create  
the new cluster to match the old cluster.

This commit changes the startup process in the standby server so that  
it handles the interrupt signals after waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval  
on the latch and resetting it, before entering another wait on the latch.  
This change causes the standby server to promptly handle interrupt signals.  
  
Otherwise, previously, there was the case where the standby needs to  
wait extra five seconds to shutdown when the shutdown request arrived  
while the startup process was waiting for wal_retrieve_retry_interval  
on the latch.

We have an implementation restriction that PREPARE TRANSACTION can't  
handle cases where both session-lifespan and transaction-lifespan locks  
are held on the same lockable object.  (That's because we'd otherwise  
need to acquire a new PROCLOCK entry during post-prepare cleanup, which  
is an operation that might fail.  The situation can only arise with odd  
usages of advisory locks, so removing the restriction is probably not  
worth the amount of effort it would take.)  AtPrepare_Locks attempted  
to enforce this, but its logic was many bricks shy of a load, because  
it only detected cases where the session and transaction locks had the  
same lockmode.  Locks of different modes on the same object would lead  
to the rather unhelpful message "PANIC: we seem to have dropped a bit  
somewhere".  
  
To fix, build a transient hashtable with one entry per locktag,  
not one per locktag + mode, and use that to detect conflicts.

We previously took a hard-line attitude that callers should never print  
a null string pointer, and doing so is worthy of an assertion failure  
or crash.  However, we've long since flushed out any easy-to-find bugs  
of that nature.  What remains is a lot of code that perhaps could fail  
that way in hard-to-reach corner cases.  For example, in something as  
simple as  
    ereport(ERROR,  
            (errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),  
             errmsg("constraint \"%s\" for table \"%s\" does not exist",  
                    conname, get_rel_name(relid))));  
one must wonder whether it's completely guaranteed that get_rel_name  
cannot return NULL in this context.  If such a situation did occur,  
the existing policy converts what might be a pretty minor bug into  
a server crash condition.  This is not good for robustness.  
  
Hence, let's follow the lead of glibc and print "(null)" instead  
of failing.  We should, of course, still consider it a bug if that  
behavior is reachable in ordinary use; but crashing seems less  
desirable than not crashing.  
  
This fix works across-the-board in v12 and up, where we always use  
src/port/snprintf.c.  Before that, on most platforms we're at the mercy  
of the local libc, but it appears that Solaris 10 is the only supported  
platform where we'd still get a crash.  Most other platforms such as  
*BSD, macOS, and Solaris 11 have adopted glibc's behavior at some  
point.  (AIX and HPUX just print "" not "(null)", but that's close  
enough.)  I've not checked what Windows' native printf would do, but  
it doesn't matter because we've long used snprintf.c on that platform.  
  
In v12 and up, also const-ify related code so that we're not casting  
away const on the constant string.  This is just neatnik-ism, since  
next to no compilers will warn about that.

If an error was raised during our initial attempt to check whether  
a successfully-compiled expression is "simple", subsequent calls of  
exec_stmt_execsql would suppose that stmt->mod_stmt was already computed  
when it had not been.  This could lead to assertion failures in debug  
builds; in production builds the effect would typically be to act as  
if INTO STRICT had been specified even when it had not been.  Of course  
that only matters if the subsequent attempt to execute the expression  
succeeds, so that the problem can only be reached by fixing a failure  
in some referenced, inline-able SQL function and then retrying the  
calling plpgsql function in the same session.  
  
(There might be even-more-obscure ways to change the expression's  
behavior without changing the plpgsql function, but that one seems  
like the only one people would be likely to hit in practice.)  
  
The most foolproof way to fix this would be to arrange for  
exec_prepare_plan to not set expr->plan until we've finished the  
subsidiary simple-expression check.  But it seems hard to do that  
without creating reference-count leak issues.  So settle for documenting  
the hazard in a comment and fixing exec_stmt_execsql to test separately  
for whether it's computed stmt->mod_stmt.  (That adds a test-and-branch  
per execution, but hopefully that's negligible in context.)  In v11 and  
up, also fix exec_stmt_call which had a variant of the same issue.

Fix some issues with WAL segment opening for pg_receivewal --compress

The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using  
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name  
existed in the repository storing those files.  In this case, using  
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the  
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new  
compressed, partial, segment.  The code was accidentally working  
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except  
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path.  It is wrong  
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new  
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.  
  
Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of  
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests  
introduced by ffc9dda.  
  
While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know  
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing  
a bit the introduction of new compression methods.  This addresses a  
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure  
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was  
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.

This fixes a theoretical bug in tuplesort.c which, if a bounded sort was  
used in combination with a byval Datum sort (tuplesort_begin_datum), when  
switching the sort to a bounded heap in make_bounded_heap(), we'd call  
free_sort_tuple().  The problem was that when sorting Datums of a byval  
type, the tuple is NULL and free_sort_tuple() would free the memory for it  
regardless of that.  This would result in a crash.  
  
Here we fix that simply by adding a check to see if the tuple is NULL  
before trying to disassociate and free any memory belonging to it.  
  
The reason this bug is only theoretical is that nowhere in the current  
code base do we do tuplesort_set_bound() when performing a Datum sort.  
However, let's backpatch a fix for this as if any extension uses the code  
in this way then it's likely to cause problems.

Although we were careful to lock the object being added or dropped,  
we failed to get any sort of lock on the extension itself.  This  
allowed the ALTER to proceed in parallel with a DROP EXTENSION,  
which is problematic for a couple of reasons.  If both commands  
succeeded we'd be left with a dangling link in pg_depend, which  
would cause problems later.  Also, if the ALTER failed for some  
reason, it might try to print the extension's name, and that could  
result in a crash or (in older branches) a silly error message  
complaining about extension "(null)".

The separate libldap_r is gone and libldap itself is now always  
thread-safe.  Unfortunately there seems no easy way to tell by  
inspection whether libldap is thread-safe, so we have to take  
it on faith that libldap is thread-safe if there's no libldap_r.  
That should be okay, as it appears that libldap_r was a standard  
part of the installation going back at least 20 years.

Since the executor can't cope with a utility statement appearing  
as a node of a plan tree, we can't support cases where a rewrite  
rule inserts a NOTIFY into an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE command appearing  
in a WITH clause of a larger query.  (One can imagine ways around  
that, but it'd be a new feature not a bug fix, and so far there's  
been no demand for it.)  RewriteQuery checked for this, but it  
missed the case where the DML command rewrites to *only* a NOTIFY.  
That'd lead to crashes later on in planning.  Add the missed check,  
and improve the level of testing of this area.  
  
Per bug #17094 from Yaoguang Chen.  It's been busted since WITH  
was introduced, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Fix incorrect return value in pg_size_pretty(bigint)

Due to how pg_size_pretty(bigint) was implemented, it's possible that when  
given a negative number of bytes that the returning value would not match  
the equivalent positive return value when given the equivalent positive  
number of bytes.  This was due to two separate issues.  
  
1. The function used bit shifting to convert the number of bytes into  
larger units.  The rounding performed by bit shifting is not the same as  
dividing.  For example -3 >> 1 = -2, but -3 / 2 = -1.  These two  
operations are only equivalent with positive numbers.  
  
2. The half_rounded() macro rounded towards positive infinity.  This meant  
that negative numbers rounded towards zero and positive numbers rounded  
away from zero.  
  
Here we fix #1 by dividing the values instead of bit shifting.  We fix #2  
by adjusting the half_rounded macro always to round away from zero.  
  
Additionally, adjust the pg_size_pretty(numeric) function to be more  
explicit that it's using division rather than bit shifting.  A casual  
observer might have believed bit shifting was used due to a static  
function being named numeric_shift_right.  However, that function was  
calculating the divisor from the number of bits and performed division.  
Here we make that more clear.  This change is just cosmetic and does not  
affect the return value of the numeric version of the function.  
  
Here we also add a set of regression tests both versions of  
pg_size_pretty() which test the values directly before and after the  
function switches to the next unit.  
  
This bug was introduced in 8a1fab36a. Prior to that negative values were  
always displayed in bytes.

Avoid doing catalog lookups in postgres_fdw's conversion_error_callback.

As in 50371df26, this is a bad idea since the callback can't really  
know what error is being thrown and thus whether or not it is safe  
to attempt catalog accesses.  Rather than pushing said accesses into  
the mainline code where they'd usually be a waste of cycles, we can  
look at the query's rangetable instead.  
  
This change does mean that we'll be printing query aliases (if any  
were used) rather than the table or column's true name.  But that  
doesn't seem like a bad thing: it's certainly a more useful definition  
in self-join cases, for instance.  In any case, it seems unlikely that  
any applications would be depending on this detail, so it seems safe  
to change.  
  
Patch by me.  Original complaint by Andres Freund; Bharath Rupireddy  
noted the connection to conversion_error_callback.

Commit 03ffc4d6d added logic to bypass all caching behavior in  
LookupOpclassInfo when CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is enabled.  It doesn't  
look like I stopped to think much about what that would cost, but  
recent investigation shows that the cost is enormous: it roughly  
doubles the time needed for cache-clobber test runs.  
  
There does seem to be value in this behavior when trying to test  
the opclass-cache loading logic itself, but for other purposes the  
cost is excessive.  Hence, let's back off to doing this only when  
debug_invalidate_system_caches_always is at least 3; or in older  
branches, when CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined.  
  
While here, clean up some other minor issues in LookupOpclassInfo.  
Re-order the code so we aren't left with broken cache entries (leading  
to later core dumps) in the unlikely case that we suffer OOM while  
trying to allocate space for a new entry.  (That seems to be my  
oversight in 03ffc4d6d.)  Also, in >= v13, stop allocating one array  
entry too many.  That's evidently left over from sloppy reversion in  
851b14b0c.

The existing code tried to do syscache lookups in an already-failed  
transaction, which is problematic to say the least.  After some  
consideration of alternatives, the best fix seems to be to just drop  
type names from the error message altogether.  The table and column  
names seem like sufficient localization.  If the user is unsure what  
types are involved, she can check the local and remote table  
definitions.  
  
Having done that, we can also discard the LogicalRepTypMap hash  
table, which had no other use.  Arguably, LOGICAL_REP_MSG_TYPE  
replication messages are now obsolete as well; but we should  
probably keep them in case some other use emerges.  (The complexity  
of removing something from the replication protocol would likely  
outweigh any savings anyhow.)

ICU 69 causes compile failures with PostgreSQL 10.  ICU 69 has  
switched to using stdbool.h, which conflicts with the home-made  
definitions that we used until PostgreSQL 10.  Newer PostgreSQL major  
versions are therefore not affected.  (Older PostgreSQL versions don't  
have ICU support.)  
  
The workaround is to undefine "bool" after including ICU headers,  
similar to the solution already in place for plperl for the same  
underlying reasons.

Causing a core dump on out-of-memory seems pretty unfriendly,  
and surely is far outside the expected behavior of a general-purpose  
library.  Just print an error message (as we did already) and return.  
These functions unfortunately don't have an error return convention,  
but code using them is probably just looking for a quick-n-dirty  
print method and wouldn't bother to check anyway.  
  
Although these functions are semi-deprecated, it still seems  
appropriate to back-patch this.  In passing, also back-patch  
b90e6cef1, just to reduce cosmetic differences between the  
branches.

83158f7 has improved index_set_state_flags() so as it is possible to use  
transactional updates when updating pg_index state flags, but there was  
not really a test case which stressed directly the possibility it fixed.  
This commit adds such a test, using a predicate that looks valid in  
appearance but calls a stable function.

3c84046 is the original commit that introduced index_set_state_flags(),  
where the presence of SnapshotNow made necessary the use of an in-place  
update.  SnapshotNow has been removed in 813fb03, so there is no actual  
reasons to not make this operation transactional.  
  
As reported by Andrey, it is possible to trigger the assertion of this  
routine expecting no transactional updates when switching the pg_index

specscanner.l leaked a kilobyte of memory per token of the spec file.  
Apparently somebody thought that the introductory code block would be  
executed once; but it's once per yylex() call.  
  
A couple of functions in isolationtester.c leaked small amounts of  
memory due to not bothering to free one-time allocations.  Might  
as well improve these so that valgrind gives this program a clean  
bill of health.  Also get rid of an ugly static variable.  
  
Coverity complained about one of the one-time leaks, which led me  
to try valgrind'ing isolationtester, which led to discovery of the  
larger leak.

It's not really necessary for this function to open or lock the  
relation associated with the pg_policy entry it's modifying.  The  
error checks it's making on the rel are if anything counterproductive  
(e.g., if we don't want to allow installation of policies on system  
catalogs, here is not the place to prevent that).  In particular, it  
seems just wrong to insist on an ownership check.  That has the net  
effect of forcing people to use superuser for DROP OWNED BY, which  
surely is not an effect we want.  Also there is no point in rebuilding  
the dependencies of the policy expressions, which aren't being  
changed.  Lastly, locking the table also seems counterproductive; it's  
not helping to prevent race conditions, since we failed to re-read the  
pg_policy row after acquiring the lock.  That means that concurrent  
DDL would likely result in "tuple concurrently updated/deleted"  
errors; which is the same behavior this code will produce, with less  
overhead.  
  
Per discussion of bug #17062.  Back-patch to all supported versions,  
as the failure cases this eliminates seem just as undesirable in 9.6  
as in HEAD.

A walsender process that has executed a SQL command left the text of  
that command in pg_stat_activity.query indefinitely, which is quite  
confusing if it's in RUNNING state but not doing that query.  An easy  
and useful fix is to treat replication commands as if they were SQL  
queries, and show them in pg_stat_activity according to the same rules  
as for regular queries.  While we're at it, it seems also sensible to  
set debug_query_string, allowing error logging and debugging to see  
the replication command.  
  
While here, clean up assorted silliness in exec_replication_command:  
* Clean up SQLCmd code path, and fix its only-accidentally-not-buggy  
  memory management.  
* Remove useless duplicate call of SnapBuildClearExportedSnapshot().  
* replication_scanner_finish() was never called.  
  
Back-patch of commit f560209c6 into v10-v13.  I'd originally felt  
that this didn't merit back-patching, but subsequent confusion  
while debugging walsender problems suggests that it'll be useful.  
Also, the original commit has now aged long enough to provide some  
comfort that it won't cause problems.

This back-branch test script was later absorbed into  
insert-conflict-specconflict.spec, which required some stabilization  
in commit 741d7f104, so perhaps it's not surprising that it needs a  
bit of love too.  
  
It's odd though that we hadn't seen it fail before now, because  
I thought that 741d7f104 did not change isolationtester's timing  
behavior for scripts without any annotation markers.  In any case,  
this script is racy on its face, so add an annotation to force stable  
reporting order.

For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that  
session and step names be written with double quotes.  This is  
fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially  
since the names that people actually choose almost always look  
like normal identifiers.  Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow  
SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.  
  
(They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any  
case-folding logic.  Also there's no provision for U&"..." names,  
not that anyone's likely to care.)  
  
There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write  
"foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers,  
but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark.  
  
I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove  
unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my  
eyes were glazing over already.  
  
Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this  
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

Our uses of gss_display_status() and gss_display_name() assumed  
that the gss_buffer_desc strings returned by those functions are  
null-terminated.  It appears that they generally are, given the  
lack of field complaints up to now.  However, the available  
documentation does not promise this, and some man pages  
for gss_display_status() show examples that rely on the  
gss_buffer_desc.length field instead of expecting null  
termination.  Also, we now have a report that on some  
implementations, clang's address sanitizer is of the opinion  
that the byte after the specified length is undefined.  
  
Hence, change the code to rely on the length field instead.  
  
This might well be cosmetic rather than fixing any real bug, but  
it's hard to be sure, so back-patch to all supported branches.  
While here, also back-patch the v12 changes that made pg_GSS_error  
deal honestly with multiple messages available from  
gss_display_status.

Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some  
ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it.  
Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from  
the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns  
too.  Also there was no visual separation of a query's result  
from subsequent isolationtester output.  This made test result  
files confusing and hard to read.  
  
To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function.  Although  
that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough  
for the purpose here.  
  
Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this  
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely  
stable.  Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable  
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure  
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures.  I've spent a  
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side  
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable  
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of  
messages from different server processes.  
  
We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating  
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order  
of events that might occur in different orders.  This patch adds  
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or  
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them  
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately  
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive  
before or after the completion of a step in another session.  We might  
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal  
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm.  It also lets us  
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more  
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.  
  
Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm  
instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable  
to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches  
to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.

Ordinarily, a pg_policy.polroles array wouldn't list the same role  
more than once; but CREATE POLICY does not prevent that.  If we  
perform DROP OWNED BY on a role that is listed more than once,  
RemoveRoleFromObjectPolicy either suffered an assertion failure  
or encountered a tuple-updated-by-self error.  Rewrite it to cope  
correctly with duplicate entries, and add a CommandCounterIncrement  
call to prevent the other problem.  
  
Per discussion, there's other cleanup that ought to happen here,  
but this seems like the minimum essential fix.  
  
Per bug #17062 from Alexander Lakhin.  It's been broken all along,  
so back-patch to all supported branches.

This works fine in the "simple Query" code path; but if the

One of the error paths left *members uninitialized. That's not a live  
bug, because most callers don't look at *members when the function  
returns -1, but let's be tidy. One caller, in heap_lock_tuple(), does  
"if (members != NULL) pfree(members)", but AFAICS it never passes an  
invalid 'multi' value so it should not reach that error case.  
  
The callers are also a bit inconsistent in their expectations.  
heap_lock_tuple() pfrees the 'members' array if it's not-NULL, others  
pfree() it if "nmembers >= 0", and others if "nmembers > 0". That's  
not a live bug either, because the function should never return 0, but  
add an Assert for that to make it more clear. I left the callers alone  
for now.  
  
I also moved the line where we set *nmembers. It wasn't wrong before,  
but I like to do that right next to the 'return' statement, to make it  
clear that it's always set on return.  
  
Also remove one unreachable return statement after ereport(ERROR), for  
brevity and for consistency with the similar if-block right after it.

In a synchronous logical setup, locking [user] catalog tables can cause  
deadlock. This is because logical decoding of transactions can lock  
catalog tables to access them so exclusively locking those in transactions  
can lead to deadlock. To avoid this users must refrain from having  
exclusive locks on catalog tables.

This is useful for developers to find out if an isolation spec is  
over-engineered or if it needs more work by warning at the end of a

The original purpose of the dry-run mode is to be able to print all the  
possible permutations from a spec file, but it has become less useful  
since isolation tests have improved regarding deadlock detection as one  
step not wanted by the author could block indefinitely now (originally  
the step blocked would have been detected rather quickly).  Per  
discussion, let's remove it.  
  
This is a backpatch of 9903338 for 9.6~12.  It is proving to become  
useful to have on those branches so as the code gets consistent across  
all supported versions, as a matter of improving the output generated by

When stuffing a plan from the plancache into a Portal, one is  
not supposed to risk throwing an error between GetCachedPlan and  
PortalDefineQuery; if that happens, the plan refcount incremented  
by GetCachedPlan will be leaked.  I managed to break this rule  
while refactoring code in 9dbf2b7d7.  There is no visible  
consequence other than some memory leakage, and since nobody is  
very likely to trigger the relevant error conditions many times  
in a row, it's not surprising we haven't noticed.  Nonetheless,  
it's a bug, so rearrange the order of operations to remove the  
hazard.  
  
Noted on the way to looking for a better fix for bug #17053.  
This mistake is pretty old, so back-patch to all supported  
branches.

During decoding for speculative inserts, we were relying for cleaning  
toast hash on confirmation records or next change records. But that  
could lead to multiple problems (a) memory leak if there is neither a  
confirmation record nor any other record after toast insertion for a  
speculative insert in the transaction, (b) error and assertion failures  
if the next operation is not an insert/update on the same table.  
  
The fix is to start queuing spec abort change and clean up toast hash  
and change record during its processing. Currently, we are queuing the  
spec aborts for both toast and main table even though we perform cleanup  
while processing the main table's spec abort record. Later, if we have a  
way to distinguish between the spec abort record of toast and the main  
table, we can avoid queuing the change for spec aborts of toast tables.

Recent glibc versions have made mktime() fail if tm_isdst is  
inconsistent with the prevailing timezone; in particular it fails for  
tm_isdst = 1 when the zone is UTC.  (This seems wildly inconsistent  
with the POSIX-mandated treatment of "incorrect" values for the other  
fields of struct tm, so if you ask me it's a bug, but I bet they'll  
say it's intentional.)  This has been observed to cause cosmetic  
problems when pg_restore'ing an archive created in a different  
timezone.  
  
To fix, do mktime() using the field values from the archive, and if  
that fails try again with tm_isdst = -1.  This will give a result  
that's off by the UTC-offset difference from the original zone, but  
that was true before, too.  It's not terribly critical since we don't  
do anything with the result except possibly print it.  (Someday we  
should flush this entire bit of logic and record a standard-format  
timestamp in the archive instead.  That's not okay for a back-patched  
bug fix, though.)  
  
Also, guard our only other use of mktime() by having initdb's  
build_time_t() set tm_isdst = -1 not 0.  This case could only have  
an issue in zones that are DST year-round; but I think some do exist,  
or could in future.  
  
Per report from Wells Oliver.  Back-patch to all supported  
versions, since any of them might need to run with a newer glibc.

Several TAP tests use poll_query_until() to wait for the postmaster  
to restart.  They were checking to see if a trivial query  
(e.g. "SELECT 1") succeeds.  However, that's problematic in the wake  
of commit 11e9caff8, because now that we feed said query to psql  
via stdin, we risk IPC::Run whining about a SIGPIPE failure if psql  
quits before reading the query.  Hence, we can't use a nonempty  
query in cases where we need to wait for connection failures to  
stop happening.  
  
Per the precedent of commits c757a3da0 and 6d41dd045, we can pass  
"undef" as the query in such cases to ensure that IPC::Run has  
nothing to write.  However, then we have to say that the expected  
output is empty, and this exposes a deficiency in poll_query_until:  
if psql fails altogether and returns empty stdout, poll_query_until  
will treat that as a success!  That's because, contrary to its  
documentation, it makes no actual check for psql failure, looking  
neither at the exit status nor at stderr.  
  
To fix that, adjust poll_query_until to insist on empty stderr as  
well as a stdout match.  (I experimented with checking exit status  
instead, but it seems that psql often does exit(1) in cases that we  
need to consider successes.  That might be something to fix someday,  
but it would be a non-back-patchable behavior change.)  
  
Back-patch to v10.  The test cases needing this exist only as far  
back as v11, but it seems wise to keep poll_query_until's behavior  
the same in v10, in case we back-patch another such test case in  
future.  (9.6 does not currently need this change, because in that  
branch poll_query_until can't be told to accept empty stdout as  
a success case.)  
  
Per assorted buildfarm failures, mostly on hoverfly.

This function returns NULL for other invalid relfilenode  
values, so zero should be treated likewise.

Using an Assert to check the validity of incoming messages is an  
extremely poor decision.  In a debug build, it should not be that easy  
for a broken or malicious remote client to crash the logrep worker.  
The consequences could be even worse in non-debug builds, which will  
fail to make such checks at all, leading to who-knows-what misbehavior.  
Hence, promote every Assert that could possibly be triggered by wrong  
or out-of-order replication messages to a full test-and-ereport.  
  
To avoid bloating the set of messages the translation team has to cope  
with, establish a policy that replication protocol violation error  
reports don't need to be translated.  Hence, all the new messages here  
use errmsg_internal().  A couple of old messages are changed likewise  
for consistency.  
  
Along the way, fix some non-idiomatic or outright wrong uses of  
hash_search().  
  
Most of these mistakes are new with the "streaming replication"  
patch (commit 464824323), but a couple go back a long way.  
Back-patch as appropriate.

Commit caba8f0d43 wasn't quite right for msys, as demonstrated by  
several buildfarm animals, including jacana and fairywren. We need to  
use the msys perl in the archive command, but call it in such a way that  
Windows will understand the path. Furthermore, inside the copy script we  
need to convert a Windows path to an msys path.

for the WAL segment that the cascading standby needs to be removed

This only happens if (1) the new standby has no WAL available locally,  
(2) the new standby is starting from the old timeline, (3) the promotion  
happened in the WAL segment from which the new standby is starting,  
(4) the timeline history file for the new timeline is available from  
the archive but the WAL files for are not (i.e. this is a race),  
(5) the WAL files for the new timeline are available via streaming,  
and (6) recovery_target_timeline='latest'.  
  
Commit ee994272ca50f70b53074f0febaec97e28f83c4e introduced this  
logic and was an improvement over the previous code, but it mishandled  
this case. If recovery_target_timeline='latest' and restore_command is  
set, validateRecoveryParameters() can change recoveryTargetTLI to be  
different from receiveTLI. If streaming is then tried afterward,  
expectedTLEs gets initialized with the history of the wrong timeline.  
It's supposed to be a list of entries explaining how to get to the  
target timeline, but in this case it ends up with a list of entries  
explaining how to get to the new standby's original timeline, which  
isn't right.

Fix incautious handling of possibly-miscoded strings in client code.

An incorrectly-encoded multibyte character near the end of a string  
could cause various processing loops to run past the string's  
terminating NUL, with results ranging from no detectable issue to  
a program crash, depending on what happens to be in the following  
memory.  
  
This isn't an issue in the server, because we take care to verify  
the encoding of strings before doing any interesting processing  
on them.  However, that lack of care leaked into client-side code  
which shouldn't assume that anyone has validated the encoding of  
its input.  
  
Although this is certainly a bug worth fixing, the PG security team  
elected not to regard it as a security issue, primarily because  
any untrusted text should be sanitized by PQescapeLiteral or  
the like before being incorporated into a SQL or psql command.  
(If an app fails to do so, the same technique can be used to  
cause SQL injection, with probably much more dire consequences  
than a mere client-program crash.)  Those functions were already  
made proof against this class of problem, cf CVE-2006-2313.  
  
To fix, invent PQmblenBounded() which is like PQmblen() except it  
won't return more than the number of bytes remaining in the string.  
In HEAD we can make this a new libpq function, as PQmblen() is.  
It seems imprudent to change libpq's API in stable branches though,  
so in the back branches define PQmblenBounded as a macro in the files  
that need it.  (Note that just changing PQmblen's behavior would not  
be a good idea; notably, it would completely break the escaping  
functions' defense against this exact problem.  So we just want a  
version for those callers that don't have any better way of handling  
this issue.)

Reduce risks of conflicts in internal queries of REFRESH MATVIEW CONCURRENTLY

The internal SQL queries used by REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY  
include some aliases for its diff and temporary relations with  
rather-generic names: diff, newdata, newdata2 and mv.  Depending on the  
queries used for the materialized view, using CONCURRENTLY could lead to  
some internal failures if the query and those internal aliases conflict.  
  
Those names have been chosen in 841c29c8.  This commit switches instead  
to a naming pattern which is less likely going to cause conflicts, based  
on an idea from Thomas Munro, by appending _$ to those aliases.  This is  
not perfect as those new names could still conflict, but at least it has  
the advantage to keep the code readable and simple while reducing the  
likelihood of conflicts to be close to zero.

variables involved.  For example, PGSSL{MAX,MIN}PROTOCOLVERSION could

This case should be disallowed, just as FOR UPDATE with a plain  
GROUP BY is disallowed; FOR UPDATE only makes sense when each row  
of the query result can be identified with a single table row.  
However, we missed teaching CheckSelectLocking() to check  
groupingSets as well as groupClause, so that it would allow  
degenerate grouping sets.  That resulted in a bad plan and  
a null-pointer dereference in the executor.  
  
Looking around for other instances of the same bug, the only one  
I found was in examine_simple_variable().  That'd just lead to  
silly estimates, but it should be fixed too.

Second, the build would fail with 64-bit environments as the libraries

Disallow SSL renegotiation

SSL renegotiation is already disabled as of 48d23c72, however this does  
not prevent the server to comply with a client willing to use  
renegotiation.  In the last couple of years, renegotiation had its set  
of security issues and flaws (like the recent CVE-2021-3449), and it  
could be possible to crash the backend with a client attempting  
renegotiation.  
  
This commit takes one extra step by disabling renegotiation in the  
backend in the same way as SSL compression (f9264d15) or tickets  
(97d3a0b0).  OpenSSL 1.1.0h has added an option named  
SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION able to achieve that.  In older versions  
there is an option called SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS that  
was undocumented, and could be set within the SSL object created when  
the TLS connection opens, but I have decided not to use it, as it feels  
trickier to rely on, and it is not official.  Note that this option is  
not usable in OpenSSL < 1.1.0h as the internal contents of the *SSL  
object are hidden to applications.  
  
SSL renegotiation concerns protocols up to TLSv1.2.

"typename" is a C++ keyword, so pg_upgrade.h fails to compile in C++.  
Fortunately, there seems no likely reason for somebody to need to  
do that.  Nonetheless, it's project policy that all .h files should  
pass cpluspluscheck, so rename the argument to fix that.  
  
Oversight in 57c081de0; back-patch as that was.  (The policy requiring  
pg_upgrade.h to pass cpluspluscheck only goes back to v12, but it  
seems best to keep this code looking the same in all branches.)

ForgetBackgroundWorker lacked any memory barrier at all, while  
BackgroundWorkerStateChange had one but unaccountably did  
additional manipulation of the slot after the barrier.  AFAICS,  
the rule must be that the barrier is immediately before setting  
or clearing slot->in_use.  
  
It looks like back in 9.6 when ForgetBackgroundWorker was first  
written, there might have been some case for not needing a  
barrier there, but I'm not very convinced of that --- the fact  
that the load of bgw_notify_pid is in the caller doesn't seem  
to guarantee no memory ordering problem.  So patch 9.6 too.  
  
It's likely that this doesn't fix any observable bug on Intel  
hardware, but machines with weaker memory ordering rules could  
have problems here.

Prevent infinite insertion loops in spgdoinsert().

Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK  
to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page.  
That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit  
09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more  
than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get  
the job done.  At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite  
loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able  
to shorten the leaf datum anymore.  
  
To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic  
to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing  
after each "choose" step.  Some opclasses might not decrease the  
size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff  
of the tuple size could obscure small gains.  Therefore, allow  
up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an  
error.  (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems  
quite generous right now.)  
  
As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it.  
The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but  
this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator  
classes.  We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty  
unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of  
breaking things.  (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only  
known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot  
for known non-core opclasses anyway.)  
  
Per report from Dilip Kumar.

Fix query-cancel handling in spgdoinsert().

Knowing that a buggy opclass could cause an infinite insertion loop,  
spgdoinsert() intended to allow its loop to be interrupted by query  
cancel.  However, that never actually worked, because in iterations  
after the first, we'd be holding buffer lock(s) which would cause  
InterruptHoldoffCount to be positive, preventing servicing of the  
interrupt.  
  
To fix, check if an interrupt is pending, and if so fall out of  
the insertion loop and service the interrupt after we've released  
the buffers.  If it was indeed a query cancel, that's the end of  
the matter.  If it was a non-canceling interrupt reason, make use  
of the existing provision to retry the whole insertion.  (This isn't  
as wasteful as it might seem, since any upper-level index tuples we  
already created should be usable in the next attempt.)  
  
While there's no known instance of such a bug in existing release  
branches, it still seems like a good idea to back-patch this to  
all supported branches, since the behavior is fairly nasty if a  
loop does happen --- not only is it uncancelable, but it will  
quickly consume memory to the point of an OOM failure.  In any  
case, this code is certainly not working as intended.

Split up CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to provide an additional macro  
INTERRUPTS_PENDING_CONDITION(), which just tests whether an  
interrupt is pending without attempting to service it.  This is  
useful in situations where the caller knows that interrupts are  
blocked, and would like to find out if it's worth the trouble  
to unblock them.  
  
Also add INTERRUPTS_CAN_BE_PROCESSED(), which indicates whether  
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() can be relied on to clear the pending interrupt.  
  
This commit doesn't actually add any uses of the new macros,  
but a follow-on bug fix will do so.  Back-patch to all supported  
branches to provide infrastructure for that fix.

Rename the logical replication global "wrconn"

The worker.c global wrconn is only meant to be used by logical apply/  
tablesync workers, but there are other variables with the same name. To  
reduce future confusion rename the global from "wrconn" to  
"LogRepWorkerWalRcvConn".  
  
While this is just cosmetic, it seems better to backpatch it all the way  
back to 10 where this code appeared, to avoid future backpatching  
issues.
