It's unusual to have any resjunk columns in an ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE  
list, but it can happen when MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK SubPlans are present.  
If it happens, the ON CONFLICT UPDATE code path would end up storing  
tuples that include the values of the extra resjunk columns.  That's  
fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are added to  
the table then the values would become accessible, possibly leading  
to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the new columns.  
  
This had escaped notice through a confluence of missing sanity checks,  
including  
  
* There's no cross-check that a tuple presented to heap_insert or  
heap_update matches the table rowtype.  While it's difficult to  
check that fully at reasonable cost, we can easily add assertions  
that there aren't too many columns.  
  
* The output-column-assignment cases in execExprInterp.c lacked  
any sanity checks on the output column numbers, which seems like  
an oversight considering there are plenty of assertion checks on  
input column numbers.  Add assertions there too.  
  
* We failed to apply nodeModifyTable's ExecCheckPlanOutput() to  
the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist.  That wouldn't have caught this  
specific error, since that function is chartered to ignore resjunk  
columns; but it sure seems like a bad omission now that we've seen  
this bug.  
  
In HEAD, the right way to fix this is to make the processing of  
ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlists work the same as regular UPDATE tlists  
now do, that is don't add "SET x = x" entries, and use  
ExecBuildUpdateProjection to evaluate the tlist and combine it with  
old values of the not-set columns.  This adds a little complication  
to ExecBuildUpdateProjection, but allows removal of a comparable  
amount of now-dead code from the planner.  
  
In the back branches, the most expedient solution seems to be to  
(a) use an output slot for the ON CONFLICT UPDATE projection that  
actually matches the target table, and then (b) invent a variant of  
ExecBuildProjectionInfo that can be told to not store values resulting  
from resjunk columns, so it doesn't try to store into nonexistent  
columns of the output slot.  (We can't simply ignore the resjunk columns  
altogether; they have to be evaluated for MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK to work.)  
This works back to v10.  In 9.6, projections work much differently and  
we can't cheaply give them such an option.  The 9.6 version of this  
patch works by inserting a JunkFilter when it's necessary to get rid  
of resjunk columns.  
  
In addition, v11 and up have the reverse problem when trying to  
perform ON CONFLICT UPDATE on a partitioned table.  Through a  
further oversight, adjust_partition_tlist() discarded resjunk columns  
when re-ordering the ON CONFLICT UPDATE tlist to match a partition.  
This accidentally prevented the storing-bogus-tuples problem, but  
at the cost that MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK cases didn't work, typically  
crashing if more than one row has to be updated.  Fix by preserving  
resjunk columns in that routine.  (I failed to resist the temptation  
to add more assertions there too, and to do some minor code  
beautification.)  
  
Per report from Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

While we were (mostly) careful about ensuring that the dimensions of  
arrays aren't large enough to cause integer overflow, the lower bound  
values were generally not checked.  This allows situations where  
lower_bound + dimension overflows an integer.  It seems that that's  
harmless so far as array reading is concerned, except that array  
elements with subscripts notionally exceeding INT_MAX are inaccessible.  
However, it confuses various array-assignment logic, resulting in a  
potential for memory stomps.  
  
Fix by adding checks that array lower bounds aren't large enough to  
cause lower_bound + dimension to overflow.  (Note: this results in  
disallowing cases where the last subscript position would be exactly  
INT_MAX.  In principle we could probably allow that, but there's a lot  
of code that computes lower_bound + dimension and would need adjustment.  
It seems doubtful that it's worth the trouble/risk to allow it.)  
  
Somewhat independently of that, array_set_element() was careless  
about possible overflow when checking the subscript of a fixed-length  
array, creating a different route to memory stomps.  Fix that too.

This patch replaces use of the global "wrconn" variable in  
AlterSubscription_refresh with a local variable of the same name, making  
it consistent with other functions in subscriptioncmds.c (e.g.  
DropSubscription).  
  
The global wrconn is only meant to be used for logical apply/tablesync worker.  
Abusing it this way is known to cause trouble if an apply worker  
manages to do a subscription refresh, such as reported by Jeremy Finzel  
and diagnosed by Andres Freund back in November 2020, at  
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected]  
  
Backpatch to 10.  In branch master, also move the connection establishment  
to occur outside the PG_TRY block; this way we can remove a test for NULL in  
PG_FINALLY, and it also makes the code more consistent with similar code in  
the same file.

When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT changes deferrability properties  
changed in a partitioned table, we failed to propagate those changes  
correctly to partitions and to triggers.  Repair by adding a recursion  
mechanism to affect all derived constraints and all derived triggers.  
(In particular, recurse to partitions even if their respective parents  
are already in the desired state: it is possible for the partitions to  
have been altered individually.)  Because foreign keys involve tables in  
two sides, we cannot use the standard ALTER TABLE recursion mechanism,  
so we invent our own by following pg_constraint.conparentid down.  
  
When ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT is invoked on the derived  
pg_constraint object that's automaticaly created in a partition as a  
result of a constraint added to its parent, raise an error instead of  
pretending to work and then failing to modify all the affected triggers.  
Before this commit such a command would be allowed but failed to affect  
all triggers, so it would silently misbehave.  (Restoring dumps of  
existing databases is not affected, because pg_dump does not produce  
anything for such a derived constraint anyway.)  
  
Add some tests for the case.  
  
Backpatch to 11, where foreign key support was added to partitioned  
tables by commit 3de241dba86f.  (A related change is commit f56f8f8da6af  
in pg12 which added support for FKs *referencing* partitioned tables;  
this is what forces us to use an ad-hoc recursion mechanism for this.)

The previous fix for dumping of inherited generated columns  
(0bf83648a52df96f7c8677edbbdf141bfa0cf32b) must not be applied to  
partitions, since, unlike normal inherited tables, they are always  
dumped separately and reattached.

When running ALTER TABLE t2 INHERIT t1, we must check that columns in  
t2 that correspond to a generated column in t1 are also generated and  
have the same generation expression.  Otherwise, this would allow  
creating setups that a normal CREATE TABLE sequence would not allow.

Mention specifically that you can't call aggregates, window functions,  
or procedures this way (the inability to call SRFs was already  
mentioned).  
  
Also, the claim that PQfn doesn't support NULL arguments or results  
has been a lie since we invented protocol 3.0.  Not sure why this  
text was never updated for that, but do it now.

Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures.  Aggregates  
failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message.  
Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference.  
Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do  
transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the  
point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no  
bugs lurk in that path.  Given the lack of testing of this area,  
it seems safest to be conservative in what we support.  
  
Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't  
support returning a set.  
  
Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID  
isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves.  
  
Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.  
Back-patch to all supported branches.  (The procedure angle  
only applies in v11+, of course.)

Commits 29aeda6e4 et al closed up some oversights involving not checking  
for non-upgradable types within container types, such as arrays and  
ranges.  However, I only looked at version.c, failing to notice that  
there were substantially-equivalent tests in check.c.  (The division  
of responsibility between those files is less than clear...)  
  
In addition, because genbki.pl does not guarantee that auto-generated  
rowtype OIDs will hold still across versions, we need to consider that  
the composite type associated with a system catalog or view is  
non-upgradable.  It seems unlikely that someone would have a user  
column declared that way, but if they did, trying to read it in another  
PG version would likely draw "no such pg_type OID" failures, thanks  
to the type OID embedded in composite Datums.  
  
To support the composite and reg*-type cases, extend the recursive  
query that does the search to allow any base query that returns  
a column of pg_type OIDs, rather than limiting it to exactly one  
starting type.  
  
As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

Attempting to use this function with event triggers failed, as, since  
its introduction in a676201, this code has never associated an object  
name with event triggers.  This addresses the failure by adding the  
event trigger name to the set defining its object address.  
  
Note that regression tests are added within event_trigger and not  
object_address to avoid issues with concurrent connections in parallel  
schedules.

For some reason, the "julian" option for extract()/date_part() has  
never gotten listed in the manual.  Also, while Appendix B mentioned  
in passing that we don't conform to the usual astronomical definition  
that a Julian date starts at noon UTC, it was kind of vague about what  
we do instead.  Clarify that, and add an example showing how to get

Previously it was documented that if using "-X none" option there was  
no guarantee that all required WAL files were archived at the end of  
pg_basebackup when taking a backup from the standby. But this limitation  
was removed by commit 52f8a59dd9. Now, even when taking a backup  
from the standby, pg_basebackup can wait for all required WAL files  
to be archived. Therefore this commit removes such obsolete  
description from the docs.  
  
Also this commit adds new description about the limitation when  
taking a backup from the standby, into the docs. The limitation is that  
pg_basebackup cannot force the standbfy to switch to a new WAL file  
at the end of backup, which may cause pg_basebackup to wait a long  
time for the last required WAL file to be switched and archived,  
especially when write activity on the primary is low.  
  
Back-patch to v10 where the issue was introduced.

Adopt a more consistent policy about what slot-type-specific  
getsysattr functions should do when system attributes are not  
available.  To wit, they should all throw the same user-oriented  
error, rather than variously crashing or emitting developer-oriented  
messages.  
  
This closes a identifiable problem in commits a71cfc56b and  
3fb93103a (in v13 and v12), so back-patch into those branches,  
along with a test case to try to ensure we don't break it again.  
It is not known that any of the former crash cases are reachable  
in HEAD, but this seems like a good safety improvement in any case.

If the source and destination partitions don't have identical  
rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks),  
then the planSlot contents will be different because of that.  
If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk  
columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that  
were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers.  
That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the  
destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that  
partition's subplan.  
  
The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination  
tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the  
RETURNING list generated for the source partition.  This avoids making  
fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans  
generated all the resjunk columns in the same order.  
  
This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE.  
The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions  
aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about  
making the conversion efficient.  
  
There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit 86dc90056 got rid of  
per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot.  
Hence, patch v11-v13 only.

In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in  
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the  
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log  
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which  
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and  
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating  
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the  
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,  
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before  
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks  
that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues  
when source == PGC_S_TEST.  This allows, for example,  
"ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo"  
configuration hasn't been created yet.  Without this, we have problems  
during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about  
possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore  
ordering.  
  
However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten  
the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway.  It's not  
entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y",  
but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing  
an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it.  
  
Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks  
with similar needs.  (But I did not change their insistence on  
being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting  
either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.)  
  
Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease  
of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST.  
A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues  
of this ilk.  (There are a lot of interdependencies among  
PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but  
they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be  
set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted  
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback  
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree  
using the tupdesc was destroyed.  This worked fine when it was designed,  
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it.  The refcount  
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't  
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first  
commit) until the DO block is exited.  That results in a warning about  
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource  
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a  
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.  
  
To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by  
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry.  Those  
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the  
pointer becoming stale.  (For registered RECORD types, we can still  
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the  
life of the backend.)  This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql  
and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well.  
  
This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the  
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for  
back-patching.  However, there seems no good reason for extensions  
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.  
  
Per report from Rohit Bhogate.  Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block  
COMMITs became a thing.

heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on  
the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different).  
Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate  
visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock;  
which creates a race condition since someone else could set the  
flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock.  The code is  
supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring  
buffer lock and retrying if it became set.  However, one code  
path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine  
RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this.  The end result,  
in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag  
while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring  
"PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure.  
  
This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM  
changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag  
while holding only exclusive buffer lock.  Previously, the flag  
was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which  
would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag  
from becoming set partway through heap_update.  However, it's  
clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here.  
  
What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs  
in released branches.  heap_update is certainly violating API  
expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible  
without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug.  That's not  
100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions  
or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths.  
  
I chose to back-patch to v12.  Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple  
before that would require also back-patching portions of older  
fixes (notably 0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems  
prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion  
to below any CollateExpr that may appear.  However, we did that even  
if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid  
expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable  
type.  The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning  
that it's useless.  
  
This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of  
COLLATE support.  The lack of field complaints suggests that there  
aren't a lot of user-visible consequences.  We noticed the problem  
because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if  
the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however,  
in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect)  
complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type.  I found  
that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could  
make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added  
regression test case.  But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time,  
so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences.

Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a  
number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers,  
where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses.  The  
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as  
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.  
  
This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more  
consistent behavior:  
- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.  
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.  
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with  
-1 meaning December, -2 November, etc.

The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range  
to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the  
pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with  
an error like this:  
  
  ERROR:  could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block  
          262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks  
  
In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages),  
but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd  
segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is  
incomplete, and fails.  
  
Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because:  
  
* Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges  
  align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end).  
  
* The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being  
  almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the  
  last page range actually crosses the segment boundary.  
  
* Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that  
  pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older  
  releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first  
  non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient  
  to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue.  
  Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch  
  distance does not matter.  
  
Fixed by not adding non-existent pages to the TID bitmap. Backpatch  
all the way back to 9.6 (BRIN indexes were introduced in 9.5, but that  
release is EOL).

Instead of writing a query to psql's stdin, which can cause a failure  
where psql exits before writing, reporting a write failure with a broken  
pipe, this changes the logic to use -c.  This was not seen in the

Maxim Orlov reported that the shutdown of standby server could result in  
the following assertion failure. The cause of this issue was that,  
when the shutdown caused the startup process to exit, recovery-time  
transaction tracking was not shut down even if it's already initialized,  
and some locks the tracked transactions were holding could not be released.  
At this situation, if other process was invoked and the PGPROC entry that  
the startup process used was assigned to it, it found such unreleased locks  
and caused the assertion failure, during the initialization of it.  
  
    TRAP: FailedAssertion("SHMQueueEmpty(&(MyProc->myProcLocks[i]))"  
  
This commit fixes this issue by making the startup process shut down  
transaction tracking and release all locks, at the exit of it.

spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf  
datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that  
value is of completely the wrong type.  
  
In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did  
nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit  
2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would  
unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype  
parameters.  Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not  
going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until  
I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1.  
  
Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're  
actually going to return it later.  This saves cycles and dodges  
the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right  
type.  Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return  
data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against  
somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future.  
  
It seems like a good idea to back-patch these two changes into  
v12 and v13, although I'm afraid to change spgNewHeapItem's  
mistaken idea of which datatype to use in those branches.  
  
Per buildfarm results from ac9099fc1.

Command-line options, or previous "ALTER (ROLE|DATABASE) ...  
SET ROLE ..." commands, can change the value of the default role  
for a session. In the presence of one of these, RESET ROLE will

pg_checksums uses two counters, total size and current size,  
to calculate the progress. Previously the progress that  
pg_checksums reported could not reach 100% at the end.  
The cause of this issue was that the sizes of only pages excluding  
new ones in each file were counted as the current size  
while the size of each file is counted as the total size.  
That is, the total size of all new pages could be reported  
as the difference between the total size and current size.  
  
This commit fixes this issue by making pg_checksums count  
the sizes of all pages including new ones in each file as  
the current size.  
  
Back-patch to v12 where progress reporting was added to pg_checksums.

The current instructions describing how to write the backup_label and  
tablespace_map files are confusing.  For example, opening a file in text  
mode on Windows and copy-pasting the file's contents would result in a  
failure at recovery because of the extra CRLF characters generated.  The  
documentation was not stating that clearly, and per discussion this is  
not considered as a supported scenario.  
  
This commit extends a bit the documentation to mention that it may be  
required to open the file in binary mode before writing its data.

This test has been using a simple VACUUM with pg_relation_size() to  
check if a relation gets physically truncated or not, but forgot the  
fact that some concurrent activity, like checkpoint buffer writes, could  
cause some pages to be skipped.  The second test enabling  
vacuum_truncate could fail, seeing a non-empty relation.  The first test  
would not have failed, but could finish by testing a behavior different  
than the one aimed for.  Both tests gain a FREEZE option, to make the  
vacuums more aggressive and prevent page skips.  
  
This is similar to the issues fixed in c2dc1a7.

Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code  
segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be  
in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of  
the sanity checks in the former.  We'd missed noticing this partly  
because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily  
test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both  
segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to  
autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source.  However,  
in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying  
to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable  
stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would  
likely dump core or otherwise misbehave.  
  
The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason  
to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the  
file starts with "PGDMP".  There seems to have been an undocumented  
assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require  
separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen  
fields of the custom-format header.  This seems unlikely, so let's  
fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat().  
  
Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of  
the file after successful autodetection.  That wastes cycles and  
it means we have four behaviors to verify not two.

Some sections of the documentation used "exclusive lock" to describe

The new appendix groups information on renamed or removed settings,  
commands, etc into an out-of-the-way part of the docs.  
  
The original id elements are retained in each subsection to ensure that  
the same filenames are produced for HTML docs. This prevents /current/  
links on the web from breaking, and allows users of the web docs  
to follow links from old version pages to info on the changes in the  
new version. Prior to this change, a link to /current/ for renamed  
sections like the recovery.conf docs would just 404. Similarly if  
someone searched for recovery.conf they would find the pg11 docs,  
but there would be no /12/ or /current/ link, so they couldn't easily  
find out that it was removed in pg12 or how to adapt.  
  
Index entries are also added so that there's a breadcrumb trail for  
users to follow when they know the old name, but not what we changed it  
to. So a user who is trying to find out how to set standby_mode in  
PostgreSQL 12+, or where pg_resetxlog went, now has more chance of  
finding that information.

situation that

with extended statistics on (a,b). Fixed by retaining information about

Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit  
85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the  
expected results.  The reason is that starting from the output of  
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such  
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the  
normal priority is the other way around.  
  
Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code  
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix  
it that way.  But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the  
default values for just a couple more lines of code.  
  
This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on  
service=whatever".  That remains significantly different from before  
85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus  
not be possible for service entries to replace.  But I think this  
is (mostly?) intentional.  In any case, since libpq does not report  
where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently.

pg_waldump --stats=record identifies a record by a combination  
of the RmgrId and the four bits of the xl_info field of the record.  
But XACT records use the first bit of those four bits for an optional  
flag variable, and the following three bits for the opcode to  
identify a record. So previously the same type of XACT record  
could have different four bits (three bits are the same but the  
first one bit is different), and which could cause  
pg_waldump --stats=record to show two lines of per-record statistics  
for the same XACT record. This is a bug.  
  
This commit changes pg_waldump --stats=record so that it processes  
only XACT record differently, i.e., filters the opcode out of xl_info  
and uses a combination of the RmgrId and those three bits as  
the identifier of a record, only for XACT record. For other records,  
the four bits of the xl_info field are still used.

Any transactions found as still prepared by a checkpoint have their  
state data read from the WAL records generated by PREPARE TRANSACTION  
before being moved into their new location within pg_twophase/.  While  
reading such records, the WAL reader uses the callback  
read_local_xlog_page() to read a page, that is shared across various  
parts of the system.  This callback, since 1148e22a, has introduced an  
update of ThisTimeLineID when reading a record while in recovery, which  
is potentially helpful in the context of cascading WAL senders.  
  
This update of ThisTimeLineID interacts badly with the checkpointer if a  
promotion happens while some 2PC data is read from its record, as, by  
changing ThisTimeLineID, any follow-up WAL records would be written to  
an timeline older than the promoted one.  This results in consistency  
issues.  For instance, a subsequent server restart would cause a failure  
in finding a valid checkpoint record, resulting in a PANIC, for  
instance.  
  
This commit changes the code reading the 2PC data to reset the timeline  
once the 2PC record has been read, to prevent messing up with the static  
state of the checkpointer.  It would be tempting to do the same thing  
directly in read_local_xlog_page().  However, based on the discussion  
that has led to 1148e22a, users may rely on the updates of  
ThisTimeLineID when a WAL record page is read in recovery, so changing  
this callback could break some cases that are working currently.  
  
A TAP test reproducing the issue is added, relying on a PITR to  
precisely trigger a promotion with a prepared transaction still  
tracked.

Back-patch to v10; the code looked different before c0a15e07c,

We leaked the error report from PQconninfoParse, when there was  
one.  It seems unlikely that real usage patterns would repeat  
the failure often enough to create serious bloat, but let's  
back-patch anyway to keep the code similar in all branches.

Because guc.c prefers to keep all its string values in malloc'd  
not palloc'd storage, it has to be more careful than usual to  
avoid leaks.  Error exits out of string GUC hook checks failed  
to clear the proposed value string, and error exits out of  
ProcessGUCArray() failed to clear the malloc'd results of  
ParseLongOption().

The text search cache mechanisms assume that we can clean up  
an invalidated dictionary cache entry simply by resetting the  
associated long-lived memory context.  However, that does not work  
for ispell affixes that make use of regular expressions, because  
the regex library deals in plain old malloc.  Hence, we leaked  
compiled regex(es) any time we dropped such a cache entry.  That  
could quickly add up, since even a fairly trivial regex can use up  
tens of kB, and a large one can eat megabytes.  Add a memory context  
callback to ensure that a regex gets freed when its owning cache  
entry is cleared.

Some code paths in this function perform syscache lookups, which  
can lead to table accesses and possibly leakage of cruft into  
the caller's context.  If said context is CacheMemoryContext,  
we eventually will have visible bloat.  But fixing this is no  
harder than moving one memory context switch step.  (The other  
callers don't have a problem.)

pg_read_file() is the function that's in core, pg_file_read() is in  
adminpack. But when using pg_file_read() in adminpack it calls the *C*  
level function pg_read_file() in core, which probably threw the original  
author off. But the error hint should be about the SQL function.

Robert Foggia of Trustwave reported that read_tablespace_map()  
fails to prevent an overrun of its on-stack input buffer.  
Since the tablespace map file is presumed trustworthy, this does  
not seem like an interesting security vulnerability, but still  
we should fix it just in the name of robustness.  
  
While here, document that pg_basebackup's --tablespace-mapping option  
doesn't work with tar-format output, because it doesn't.  To make it  
work, we'd have to modify the tablespace_map file within the tarball  
sent by the server, which might be possible but I'm not volunteering.  
(Less-painful solutions would require changing the basebackup protocol  
so that the source server could adjust the map.  That's not very  
appetizing either.)

With very unlucky timing and parallel_leader_participation off, PHJ  
could attempt to access per-batch state just as it was being freed.  
There was code intended to prevent that by checking for a cleared  
pointer, but it was buggy.  
  
Fix, by introducing an extra barrier phase.  The new phase  
PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING means that it's safe to access the per-batch state to  
find a batch to help with, and PHJ_BUILD_DONE means that it is too late.  
The last to detach will free the array of per-batch state as before, but  
now it will also atomically advance the phase at the same time, so that  
late attachers can avoid the hazard, without the data race.  This  
mirrors the way per-batch hash tables are freed (see phases  
PHJ_BATCH_PROBING and PHJ_BATCH_DONE).  
  
Revealed by a one-off build farm failure, where BarrierAttach() failed a  
sanity check assertion, because the memory had been clobbered by  
dsa_free().  
  
Back-patch to 11, where the code arrived.

After reading the root cert list from the ssl_ca_file, immediately  
install it as client CA list of the new SSL context.  That gives the  
SSL context ownership of the list, so that SSL_CTX_free will free it.  
This avoids a permanent memory leak if we fail further down in  
be_tls_init(), which could happen if bogus CRL data is offered.  
  
The leak could only amount to something if the CRL parameters get  
broken after server start (else we'd just quit) and then the server  
is SIGHUP'd many times without fixing the CRL data.  That's rather  
unlikely perhaps, but it seems worth fixing, if only because the  
code is clearer this way.  
  
While we're here, add some comments about the memory management  
aspects of this logic.

psql's editing commands decide whether the user has edited the file  
by checking for change of modification timestamp.  This is probably  
fine for a pre-existing file, but with a temporary file that is  
created within the command, it's possible for a fast typist to  
save-and-exit in less than the one-second granularity of stat(2)  
timestamps.  On Windows FAT filesystems the granularity is even  
worse, 2 seconds, making the race a bit easier to hit.  
  
To fix, try to set the temp file's mod time to be two seconds ago.  
It's unlikely this would fail, but then again the race condition  
itself is unlikely, so just ignore any error.  
  
Also, we might as well check the file size as well as its mod time.  
  
While this is a difficult bug to hit, it still seems worth  
back-patching, to ensure that users' edits aren't lost.

Commit 92785dac2 copied some logic related to advancement of inStart  
from pqParseInput3 into getRowDescriptions and getAnotherTuple,  
because it wanted to allow user-defined row processor callbacks to  
potentially longjmp out of the library, and inStart would have to be  
updated before that happened to avoid an infinite loop.  We later  
decided that that API was impossibly fragile and reverted it, but  
we didn't undo all of the related code changes, and this bit of  
messiness survived.  Undo it now so that there's just one place in  
pqParseInput3's processing where inStart is advanced; this will  
simplify addition of better tracing support.  
  
getParamDescriptions had grown similar processing somewhere along  
the way (not in 92785dac2; I didn't track down just when), but it's  
actually buggy because its handling of corrupt-message cases seems to  
have been copied from the v2 logic where we lacked a known message  
length.  The cases where we "goto not_enough_data" should not simply  
return EOF, because then we won't consume the message, potentially  
creating an infinite loop.  That situation now represents a  
definitively corrupt message, and we should report it as such.  
  
Although no field reports of getParamDescriptions getting stuck in  
a loop have been seen, it seems appropriate to back-patch that fix.  
I chose to back-patch all of this to keep the logic looking more alike  
in supported branches.

"SELECT pg_import_system_collations(0)" caused an assertion failure.  
With a random nonzero argument --- or indeed with zero, in non-assert  
builds --- it would happily make pg_collation entries with garbage  
values of collnamespace.  These are harmless as far as I can tell  
(unless maybe the OID happens to become used for a schema, later on?).  
In any case this isn't a security issue, since the function is  
superuser-only.  But it seems like a gotcha for unwary DBAs, so let's  
add a check that the given OID belongs to some schema.

Break the synopsis into named parts to make it less confusing.  
Make more than zero effort at applying SGML markup.  Do a bit  
of copy-editing of nearby text.  
  
The synopsis revision is by Alvaro Herrera and Paul Förster,  
the rest is my fault.  Back-patch to v10 where multi-host  
connection strings appeared.

Commit 866e24d47db1 added an assert that HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and  
HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED cannot appear together, on the faulty assumption that  
the latter necessarily referred to an update and not a tuple lock; but  
that's wrong, because SELECT FOR UPDATE can use precisely that  
combination, as evidenced by the amcheck test case added here.  
  
Remove the Assert(), and also patch amcheck's verify_heapam.c to not  
complain if the combination is found.  Also, out of overabundance of  
caution, update (across all branches) README.tuplock to be more explicit  
about this.

When ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK is enabled, psql releases a temporary savepoint  
if it's idle in a valid transaction block after executing a query. But psql  
doesn't do that after RELEASE or ROLLBACK is executed because a temporary  
savepoint has already been destroyed in that case.  
  
This commit changes psql's ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK so that it doesn't release  
a temporary savepoint also when COMMIT AND CHAIN is executed. A temporary  
savepoint doesn't need to be released in that case because  
COMMIT AND CHAIN also destroys any savepoints defined within the transaction  
to commit. Otherwise psql tries to release the savepoint that  
COMMIT AND CHAIN has already destroyed and cause an error  
"ERROR:  savepoint "pg_psql_temporary_savepoint" does not exist".  
  
Back-patch to v12 where transaction chaining was added.

This commit fixes COMMIT AND CHAIN command so that it starts new transaction  
immediately even if savepoints are defined within the transaction to commit.  
Previously COMMIT AND CHAIN command did not in that case because  
commit 280a408b48 forgot to make CommitTransactionCommand() handle  
a transaction chaining when the transaction state was TBLOCK_SUBCOMMIT.  
  
Also this commit adds the regression test for COMMIT AND CHAIN command  
when savepoints are defined.  
  
Back-patch to v12 where transaction chaining was added.

While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug  
squashed in commit afcc8772e had a sibling: next() failed to return  
a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}"  
quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode.  Again, this could result  
in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in  
basic mode.  For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that  
sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have  
accidentally been zero from the start.  The failure can be provoked  
repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0".  
  
Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.

If ExecGetInsertedCols(), ExecGetUpdatedCols() or ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols()  
were called with a ResultRelInfo that's not in the range table and isn't a  
partition routing target, the functions would dereference a NULL pointer,  
relinfo->ri_RootResultRelInfo. Such ResultRelInfos are created when firing  
RI triggers in tables that are not modified directly. None of the current  
callers of these functions pass such relations, so this isn't a live bug,  
but let's make them more robust.  
  
Also update comment in ResultRelInfo; after commit 6214e2b228,  
ri_RangeTableIndex is zero for ResultRelInfos created for partition tuple  
routing.  
  
Noted by Coverity. Backpatch down to v11, like commit 6214e2b228.

FreeBSD 13 gained O_DSYNC, which would normally cause wal_sync_method to  
choose open_datasync as its default value.  That may not be a good  
choice for all systems, and performs worse than fdatasync in some  
scenarios.  Let's preserve the existing default behavior for now.

While cleaning up after a parallel query or parallel index creation that  
created temporary files, we could be interrupted by a statement timeout.  
The error handling path would then fail to clean up the files when it  
ran dsm_detach() again, because the callback was already popped off the  
list.  Prevent this hazard by holding interrupts while the cleanup code  
runs.

Horiguchi, Masahiko Sawada, Justin Pryzby and Tom Lane for discussion of  
this and earlier ideas on how to fix the problem.

Modern gcc and clang compilers offer alignment sanitizers, which help to detect  
pointer misalignment.  However, our codebase already contains x86-specific  
crc32 computation code, which uses unalignment access.  Thankfully, those  
compilers also support the attribute, which disables alignment sanitizers at  
the function level.  This commit adds pg_attribute_no_sanitize_alignment(),  
which wraps this attribute, and applies it to pg_comp_crc32c_sse42() function.  
  
Back-patch of commits 993bdb9f9 and ad2ad698a, to enable doing  
alignment testing in all supported branches.

Given a regex pattern with a very long fixed prefix (approaching 500  
characters), the result of pow(FIXED_CHAR_SEL, fixed_prefix_len) can  
underflow to zero.  Typically the preceding selectivity calculation  
would have underflowed as well, so that we compute 0/0 and get NaN.  
In released branches this leads to an assertion failure later on.  
That doesn't happen in HEAD, for reasons I've not explored yet,  
but it's surely still a bug.  
  
To fix, just skip the division when the pow() result is zero, so  
that we'll (most likely) return a zero selectivity estimate.  In  
the edge cases where "sel" didn't yet underflow, perhaps this  
isn't desirable, but I'm not sure that the case is worth spending  
a lot of effort on.  The results of regex_selectivity_sub() are  
barely worth the electrons they're written on anyway :-(  
  
Per report from Alexander Lakhin.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

For an index, attstattarget can be updated using ALTER INDEX SET  
STATISTICS.  This data was lost on the new index after REINDEX  
CONCURRENTLY.  
  
The update of this field is done when the old and new indexes are  
swapped to make the fix back-patchable.  Another approach we could look  
after in the long-term is to change index_create() to pass the wanted  
values of attstattarget when creating the new relation, but, as this  
would cause an ABI breakage this can be done only on HEAD.
