The parser code that transformed VALUES from row-oriented to  
column-oriented lists failed if there were zero columns.  
You can't write that straightforwardly (though probably you  
should be able to), but the case can be reached by expanding  
a "tab.*" reference to a zero-column table.  
  
Per bug #17477 from Wang Ke.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

This reverts commit eafdf9de06e9b60168f5e47cedcfceecdc6d4b5f  
and its back-branch counterparts.  Corey Huinker pointed out that  
we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it,  
on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT  
where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used.  Perhaps that  
argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before  
our back-branch releases.  To keep our options open, restore the  
status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting  
one more quarter won't hurt anything.  
  
Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case  
demonstrating the usage with LIMIT.  That'll at least remind us of  
the issue if we forget again.

When a feature enumerates relations and runs functions associated with  
all found relations, the feature's user shall not need to trust every  
user having permission to create objects.  BRIN-specific functionality  
in autovacuum neglected to account for this, as did pg_amcheck and  
CLUSTER.  An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at  
least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under the  
identity of the bootstrap superuser.  CREATE INDEX (not a  
relation-enumerating operation) and REINDEX protected themselves too  
late.  This change extends to the non-enumerating amcheck interface.

f40d362a667 disabled part of 031_recovery_conflict.pl due to instability  
that's not trivial to fix in the back branches. That fixed most of the  
issues. But there was one more failure (on lapwing / REL_10_STABLE).  
  
That failure looks like it might be caused by a genuine problem. Disable the  
test until after the set of releases, to avoid packagers etc potentially  
having to fight with a test failure they can't do anything about.

The recovery deadlock test has a timing issue that was fixed in 5136967f1eb in  
HEAD. Unfortunately the same fix doesn't quite work in the back branches: 1)  
adjust_conf() doesn't exist, which is easy enough to work around 2) a restart  
cleares the recovery conflict stats < 15.  
  
These issues can be worked around, but given the upcoming set of minor  
releases, skip the problematic test for now. The buildfarm doesn't show  
failures in other parts of 031_recovery_conflict.pl.

In a2ab9c06ea1 I just backpatched the introduction of pump_until(), without  
changing the existing local definitions (as 6da65a3f9a9). The necessary  
changes seemed more verbose than desirable. However, that leads to warnings,  
as I failed to realize...  
  
Backpatch to all versions containing pump_until() calls before

The prior commit showed that the introduction of recovery conflict tests was a  
good idea. Without these tests it's hard to know that the fix didn't break  
something...  
  
031_recovery_conflict.pl was introduced in 9f8a050f68d and extended in  
21e184403bf.

The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and  
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the  
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.  
  
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),  
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad  
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could  
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a  
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in  
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().  
  
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in  
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().  
  
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to  
determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into  
account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might  
include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or  
ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created  
from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing  
ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type  
when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node,  
because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally  
considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing  
Result nodes asynchronously.  Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan()  
to disable asynchronous execution in such cases.  Also, adjust code in  
the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency  
with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there.  
  
is_async_capable_path() added in commit 27e1f1456, which was rewritten  
to mark_async_capable_plan() in a later commit, has the same issue,  
causing the error at execution mentioned above, so back-patch to v14  
where the aforesaid commit went in.

For some reason by default the mingw C Runtime takes it upon itself to  
expand program arguments that look like shell globbing characters. That  
has caused much scratching of heads and mis-attribution of the causes of  
some TAP test failures, so stop doing that.  
  
This removes an inconsistency with Windows binaries built with MSVC,

Commit d2d35479796c3510e249d6fc72adbd5df918efbf included a pretty  
extensive set of test cases, and some of them don't work on all  
of our Windows machines. This happens because IPC::Run expands  
its arguments as shell globs on a few machines, but doesn't on most  
of the buildfarm. It might be good to fix that problem systematically  
somehow, but in the meantime, there are enough test cases for this  
commit that it seems OK to just remove the ones that are failing.

This function looks for a reference to the recursive WITH CTE,  
but it checked only the CTE name not ctelevelsup, so that it could  
seize on a lower CTE that happened to have the same name.  This  
would result in planner failures later, either weird errors such as  
"could not find attribute 2 in subquery targetlist", or crashes  
or assertion failures.  The code also merely Assert'ed that it found  
a matching entry, which is not guaranteed at all by the parser.

inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the  
target CTE as its cterefcount indicates.  While that should be  
accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some  
optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,  
notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.  
  
Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and  
doomed to future breakage.  It's not really worth it, because  
all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every  
referenced CTE has a plan.  Let's convert those assertions to  
regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem,  
and then drop the failing assertion.  
  
Per report from Tomas Vondra (thanks also to Richard Guo for  
analysis).  Back-patch to v12 where the faulty code came in.

Commit b3b4d8e68a moved our perl test modules to a better namespace  
structure, but this has made life hard for people wishing to backpatch  
improvements in the TAP tests. Here we alleviate much of that difficulty  
by implementing the new module names on top of the old modules, mostly  
by using a little perl typeglob aliasing magic, so that we don't have a  
dual maintenance burden. This should work both for the case where a new  
test is backpatched and the case where a fix to an existing test that  
uses the new namespace is backpatched.

CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering  
against an index whose leading key is an expression.  This makes it  
unsafe to use the abbreviated keys optimization, which was missed by the  
logic that sets up SortSupport state.  Affected tuplesorts output tuples  
in a completely bogus order as a result (the wrong SortSupport based  
comparator was used for the leading attribute).  
  
This issue is similar to the bug fixed on the master branch by recent  
commit cc58eecc5d.  But it's a far older issue, that dates back to the  
introduction of the abbreviated keys optimization by commit 4ea51cdfe8.

psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name  
patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in  
'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number  
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d  
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'.  In v14,  
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0a496608919d1f78a5abc8c9b6e0868, we  
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named  
'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin  
Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form  
db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using  
them as arguments to \d.  
  
Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains  
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's  
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.  
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just  
myschema.mytable, but otherdb.myschema.mytable is an error, and so  
is some.random.garbage.myschema.mytable.

fail if there are additional changes like invalidation messages by  
background activity like auto analyze. Avoid such failures by increasing  
autovacuum_naptime to a reasonably high value (1d).

An ALTER FUNCTION command that tried to update both the function's  
proparallel property and its proconfig list failed to do the former,  
because it stored the new proparallel value into a tuple that was  
no longer the interesting one.  Carelessness in 7aea8e4f2.  
  
(I did not bother with a regression test, because the only likely  
future breakage would be for someone to ignore the comment I added  
and add some other field update after the heap_modify_tuple step.  
A test using existing function properties could not catch that.)

The new numeric code for extract epoch from interval accidentally  
truncated the DAYS_PER_YEAR value to an integer, leading to results  
that mismatched the floating-point interval_part calculations.  
  
The commit a2da77cdb4661826482ebf2ddba1f953bc74afe4 that introduced  
this actually contains the regression test change that this reverts.  
I suppose this was missed at the time.

worker limit per subscription. But the check to enforce this also doesn't  
allow to launch an apply worker if it gets restarted.

Don't try to look at the attidentity field of system attributes,  
because they're not there in the TupleDescAttr array.  Sometimes  
this is harmless because we accidentally pick up a zero, but  
otherwise we'll report "no owned sequence found" from an attempt  
to alter a system attribute.  (It seems possible that a SIGSEGV  
could occur, too, though I've not seen it in testing.)  
  
It's not in this function's charter to complain that you can't  
alter a system column, so instead just hard-wire an assumption  
that system attributes aren't identities.  I didn't bother with  
a regression test because the appearance of the bug is very  
erratic.  
  
Per bug #17465 from Roman Zharkov.  Back-patch to all supported  
branches.  (There's not actually a live bug before v12, because  
before that get_attidentity() did the right thing anyway.  
But for consistency I changed the test in the older branches too.)

This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that  
it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the  
end of recovery.  This standby uses the archives of the primary to  
restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from  
the first standby previously promoted.  In slow environments, it was  
possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file  
generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on  
the archives the second standby feeds on.  So, it could be possible that  
the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a  
history file at all.  
  
This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file  
required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is  
created.  This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an  
absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.  
  
While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has  
been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby.  This  
ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,  
is created in the first place.  This should make the test more robust.  
  
This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an  
effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command  
calls made the test much slower.

The back-patch of commit bbace5697df12398e87ffd9879171c39d27f5b33 had  
the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the  
back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it  
changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back,  
and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead. The new field should  
fall within what used to be padding space within the struct, and so  
hopefully won't cause any extensions to break.

Getting from get_raw_page() an all-zero page is considered as a valid  
case by the buffer manager and it can happen for example when finding a  
corrupted page with zero_damaged_pages enabled (using zero_damaged_pages  
to look at corrupted pages happens), or after a crash when a relation  
file is extended before any WAL for its new data is generated (before a  
vacuum or autovacuum job comes in to do some cleanup).  
  
However, all the functions of pageinspect, as of the index AMs (except  
hash that has its own idea of new pages), heap, the FSM or the page  
header have never worked with all-zero pages, causing various crashes  
when going through the page internals.  
  
This commit changes all the pageinspect functions to be compliant with  
all-zero pages, where the choice is made to return NULL or no rows for  
SRFs when finding a new page.  get_raw_page() still works the same way,  
returning a batch of zeros in the bytea of the page retrieved.  A hard  
error could be used but NULL, while more invasive, is useful when  
scanning relation files in full to get a batch of results for a single  
relation in one query.  Tests are added for all the code paths  
impacted.

heap_fetch() used to have a "keep_buf" parameter that told it to return  
ownership of the buffer pin to the caller after finding that the  
requested tuple TID exists but is invisible to the specified snapshot.  
This was thoughtlessly removed in commit 5db6df0c0, which broke  
heapam_tuple_lock() (formerly EvalPlanQualFetch) because that function  
needs to do more accesses to the tuple even if it's invisible.  The net  
effect is that we would continue to touch the page for a microsecond or  
two after releasing pin on the buffer.  Usually no harm would result;  
but if a different session decided to defragment the page concurrently,  
we could see garbage data and mistakenly conclude that there's no newer  
tuple version to chain up to.  (It's hard to say whether this has  
happened in the field.  The bug was actually found thanks to a later  
change that allowed valgrind to detect accesses to non-pinned buffers.)  
  
The most reasonable way to fix this is to reintroduce keep_buf,  
although I made it behave slightly differently: buffer ownership  
is passed back only if there is a valid tuple at the requested TID.  
In HEAD, we can just add the parameter back to heap_fetch().  
To avoid an API break in the back branches, introduce an additional  
function heap_fetch_extended() in those branches.  
  
In HEAD there is an additional, less obvious API change: tuple->t_data  
will be set to NULL in all cases where buffer ownership is not returned,  
in particular when the tuple exists but fails the time qual (and  
!keep_buf).  This is to defend against any other callers attempting to  
access non-pinned buffers.  We concluded that making that change in back  
branches would be more likely to introduce problems than cure any.  
  
In passing, remove a comment about heap_fetch that was obsoleted by  
9a8ee1dc6.

Google seems to like to return textsearch.html for queries about

not a very apposite title for this material anyway, rename the

postgres_fdw would push ORDER BY clauses to the remote side without  
verifying that the sort operator is safe to ship.  Moreover, it failed  
to print a suitable USING clause if the sort operator isn't default  
for the sort expression's type.  The net result of this is that the  
remote sort might not have anywhere near the semantics we expect,  
which'd be disastrous for locally-performed merge joins in particular.  
  
We addressed similar issues in the context of ORDER BY within an  
aggregate function call in commit 7012b132d, but failed to notice  
that query-level ORDER BY was broken.  Thus, much of the necessary  
logic already existed, but it requires refactoring to be usable  
in both cases.  
  
Back-patch to all supported branches.  In HEAD only, remove the

When dealing with partitioned tables, counters for partitioned tables  
are not updated when modifying child tables. This means autoanalyze may  
not update optimizer statistics for the parent relations, which can  
result in poor plans for some queries.  
  
It's worth documenting this limitation, so that people are aware of it  
and can take steps to mitigate it (e.g. by setting up a script executing  
ANALYZE regularly).  
  
Backpatch to v10. Older branches are affected too, of couse, but we no  
longer maintain those.

Commit 8c6d30f21 caused this function to fail to set *displen  
in the PS_USE_NONE code path.  If the variable's previous value  
had been negative, that'd lead to a memory clobber at some call  
sites.  We'd managed not to notice due to very thin test coverage  
of such configurations, but this appears to explain buildfarm member  
lorikeet's recent struggles.

A couple of code paths use the special area on the page passed by the  
function caller, expecting to find some data in it.  However, feeding  
an incorrect page can lead to out-of-bound reads when trying to access  
the page special area (like a heap page that has no special area,  
leading PageGetSpecialPointer() to grab a pointer outside the allocated  
page).  
  
The functions used for hash and btree indexes have some protection  
already against that, while some other functions using a relation OID  
as argument would make sure that the access method involved is correct,  
but functions taking in input a raw page without knowing the relation  
the page is attached to would run into problems.  
  
This commit improves the set of checks used in the code paths of BRIN,  
btree (including one check if a leaf page is found with a non-zero  
level), GIN and GiST to verify that the page given in input has a  
special area size that fits with each access method, which is done  
though PageGetSpecialSize(), becore calling PageGetSpecialPointer().  
  
The scope of the checks done is limited to work with pages that one  
would pass after getting a block with get_raw_page(), as it is possible  
to craft byteas that could bypass existing code paths.  Having too many  
checks would also impact the usability of pageinspect, as the existing  
code is very useful to look at the content details in a corrupted page,  
so the focus is really to avoid out-of-bound reads as this is never a  
good thing even with functions whose execution is limited to  
superusers.  
  
The safest approach could be to rework the functions so as these fetch a  
block using a relation OID and a block number, but there are also cases  
where using a raw page is useful.  
  
Tests are added to cover all the code paths that needed such checks, and  
an error message for hash indexes is reworded to fit better with what  
this commit adds.

clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with  
a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c  
tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL.  This appears to be  
a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly.  Fortunately,  
we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which  
seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing  
double-evaluation hazard.

The previous method for doing that was to write zeroes into a  
predetermined set of page locations.  However, there's a roughly  
1-in-64K chance that the existing checksum will match by chance,  
and yesterday several buildfarm animals started to reproducibly  
see that, resulting in test failures because no checksum mismatch  
was reported.  
  
Since the checksum includes the page LSN, test success depends on  
the length of the installation's WAL history, which is affected by  
(at least) the initial catalog contents, the set of locales installed  
on the system, and the length of the pathname of the test directory.  
Sooner or later we were going to hit a chance match, and today is  
that day.  
  
Harden these tests by specifically inverting the checksum field and  
leaving all else alone, thereby guaranteeing that the checksum is  
incorrect.  
  
In passing, fix places that were using seek() to set up for syswrite(),  
a combination that the Perl docs very explicitly warn against.  We've  
probably escaped problems because no regular buffered I/O is done on  
these filehandles; but if it ever breaks, we wouldn't deserve or get  
much sympathy.  
  
Although we've only seen problems in HEAD, now that we recognize the  
environmental dependencies it seems like it might be just a matter  
of time until someone manages to hit this in back-branch testing.  
Hence, back-patch to v11 where we started doing this kind of test.

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when  
replaying create database WAL records.  Prior to this patch, the standby  
would fail to recover in such a case.  However, the directories could be  
legitimately missing.  Consider a sequence of WAL records as follows:  
  
    CREATE DATABASE  
    DROP DATABASE  
    DROP TABLESPACE  
  
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace  
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database  
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.  
  
This patch adds a mechanism similar to invalid-page tracking, to keep a  
tally of missing directories during crash recovery.  If all the missing  
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at the  
end of crash recovery, the standby can safely continue following the  
primary.  
  
Backpatch to 13, at least for now.  The bug is older, but fixing it in  
older branches requires more careful study of the interactions with  
commit e6d8069522c8, which appeared in 13.  
  
A new TAP test file is added to verify the condition.  However, because  
it depends on commit d6d317dbf615, it can only be added to branch  
master.  I (Álvaro) manually verified that the code behaves as expected  
in branch 14.  It's a bit nervous-making to leave the code uncovered by  
tests in older branches, but leaving the bug unfixed is even worse.  
Also, the main reason this fix took so long is precisely that we  
couldn't agree on a good strategy to approach testing for the bug, so  
perhaps this is the best we can do.

If TRUNCATE causes some buffers to be invalidated and thus the  
checkpoint does not flush them, TRUNCATE must also ensure that the  
corresponding files are truncated on disk. Otherwise, a replay  
from the checkpoint might find that the buffers exist but have  
the wrong contents, which may cause replay to fail.

This issue is environment-sensitive, where the SSL tests could fail in  
various way by feeding on defaults provided by sslcert, sslkey,  
sslrootkey, sslrootcert, sslcrl and sslcrldir coming from a local setup,  
as of ~/.postgresql/ by default.  Horiguchi-san has reported two  
failures, but more advanced testing from me (aka inclusion of garbage  
SSL configuration in ~/.postgresql/ for all the configuration  
parameters) has showed dozens of failures that can be triggered in the  
whole test suite.  
  
History has showed that we are not good when it comes to address such  
issues, fixing them locally like in dd87799, and such problems keep  
appearing.  This commit strengthens the entire test suite to put an end  
to this set of problems by embedding invalid default values in all the  
connection strings used in the tests.  The invalid values are prefixed  
in each connection string, relying on the follow-up values passed in the  
connection string to enforce any invalid value previously set.  Note  
that two tests related to CRLs are required to fail with certain pre-set  
configurations, but we can rely on enforcing an empty value instead  
after the invalid set of values.

The planner needs to treat GroupingFunc like Aggref for many purposes,  
in particular with respect to processing of the argument expressions,  
which are not to be evaluated at runtime.  A few places hadn't gotten  
that memo, notably including subselect.c's processing of outer-level  
aggregates.  This resulted in assertion failures or wrong plans for  
cases in which a GROUPING() construct references an outer aggregation  
level.  
  
Also fix missing special cases for GroupingFunc in cost_qual_eval  
(resulting in wrong cost estimates for GROUPING(), although it's  
not clear that that would affect plan shapes in practice) and in  
ruleutils.c (resulting in excess parentheses in pretty-print mode).

DROP INDEX needs to lock the index's table before the index itself,  
else it will deadlock against ordinary queries that acquire the  
relation locks in that order.  This is correctly mechanized for  
plain indexes by RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation; but in the case of  
a partitioned index, we neglected to lock the child tables in advance  
of locking the child indexes.  We can fix that by traversing the  
inheritance tree and acquiring the needed locks in RemoveRelations,  
after we have acquired our locks on the parent partitioned table and  
index.  
  
While at it, do some refactoring to eliminate confusion between  
the actual and expected relkind in RangeVarCallbackForDropRelation.  
We can save a couple of syscache lookups too, by having that function  
pass back info that RemoveRelations will need.  
  
Back-patch to v11 where partitioned indexes were added.

In commit bf7ca1587, I had the bright idea that we could make the  
result of a whole-row Var (that is, foo.*) track any column aliases  
that had been applied to the FROM entry the Var refers to.  However,  
that's not terribly logically consistent, because now the output of  
the Var is no longer of the named composite type that the Var claims  
to emit.  bf7ca1587 tried to handle that by changing the output  
tuple values to be labeled with a blessed RECORD type, but that's  
really pretty disastrous: we can wind up storing such tuples onto  
disk, whereupon they're not readable by other sessions.  
  
The only practical fix I can see is to give up on what bf7ca1587  
tried to do, and say that the column names of tuples produced by  
a whole-row Var are always those of the underlying named composite  
type, query aliases or no.  While this introduces some inconsistencies,  
it removes others, so it's not that awful in the abstract.  What *is*  
kind of awful is to make such a behavioral change in a back-patched  
bug fix.  But corrupt data is worse, so back-patched it will be.  
  
(A workaround available to anyone who's unhappy about this is to  
introduce an extra level of sub-SELECT, so that the whole-row Var is  
referring to the sub-SELECT's output and not to a named table type.  
Then the Var is of type RECORD to begin with and there's no issue.)

Commit 83fd4532a7 allowed publishing of changes via ancestors, for  
publications defined with publish_via_partition_root. But the way  
the ancestor was determined in get_rel_sync_entry() was incorrect,  
simply updating the same variable. So with multiple publications,  
replicating different ancestors, the outcome depended on the order  
of publications in the list - the value from the last loop was used,  
even if it wasn't the top-most ancestor.  
  
This is a probably rare situation, as in most cases publications do  
not overlap, so each partition has exactly one candidate ancestor  
to replicate as and there's no ambiguity.  
  
Fixed by tracking the "ancestor level" for each publication, and  
picking the top-most ancestor. Adds a test case, verifying the  
correct ancestor is used for publishing the changes and that this  
does not depend on order of publications in the list.  
  
Older releases have another bug in this loop - once all actions are  
replicated, the loop is terminated, on the assumption that inspecting  
additional publications is unecessary. But that misses the fact that  
those additional applications may replicate different ancestors.  
  
Fixed by removal of this break condition. We might still terminate the  
loop in some cases (e.g. when replicating all actions and the ancestor  
is the partition root).  
  
Backpatch to 13, where publish_via_partition_root was introduced.

911e702077 implemented operator class parameters including the signature length  
in ltree.  Previously, the signature length for gist_ltree_ops was 8.  Because  
of bug 911e702077 the default signature length for gist_ltree_ops became 28 for  
ltree 1.1 (where options method is NOT provided) and 8 for ltree 1.2 (where  
options method is provided).  This commit changes the default signature length  
for ltree 1.1 to 8.  
  
Existing gist_ltree_ops indexes might be corrupted in various scenarios.  
Thus, we have to recommend reindexing all the gist_ltree_ops indexes after  
the upgrade.

Commands like ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE may leave files for the next  
checkpoint to clean up.  If such files are not removed by the time DROP  
TABLESPACE is called, we request a checkpoint so that they are deleted.  
However, there is presently a window before checkpoint start where new  
unlink requests won't be scheduled until the following checkpoint.  This  
means that the checkpoint forced by DROP TABLESPACE might not remove the  
files we expect it to remove, and the following ERROR will be emitted:  
  
	ERROR:  tablespace "mytblspc" is not empty  
  
To fix, add a call to AbsorbSyncRequests() just before advancing the  
unlink cycle counter.  This ensures that any unlink requests forwarded  
prior to checkpoint start (i.e., when ckpt_started is incremented) will  
be processed by the current checkpoint.  Since AbsorbSyncRequests()  
performs memory allocations, it cannot be called within a critical  
section, so we also need to move SyncPreCheckpoint() to before  
CreateCheckPoint()'s critical section.  
  
This is an old bug, so back-patch to all supported versions.

If we run out of space in the checkpointer sync request queue (which is  
hopefully rare on real systems, but common with very small buffer pool),  
we wait for it to drain.  While waiting, we should report that as a wait  
event so that users know what is going on, and also handle postmaster  
death, since otherwise the loop might never terminate if the  
checkpointer has exited.

This commit fixes a set of issues related to the use of the SQL  
functions in this module when the caller is able to pass down raw page  
data as input argument:  
- The page size check was fuzzy in a couple of places, sometimes  
looking after only a sub-range, but what we are looking for is an exact  
match on BLCKSZ.  After considering a few options here, I have settled  
down to do a generalization of get_page_from_raw().  Most of the SQL  
functions already used that, and this is not strictly required if not  
accessing an 8-byte-wide value from a raw page, but this feels safer in  
the long run for alignment-picky environment, particularly if a code  
path begins to access such values.  This also reduces the number of  
strings that need to be translated.  
- The BRIN function brin_page_items() uses a Relation but it did not  
check the access method of the opened index, potentially leading to  
crashes.  All the other functions in need of a Relation already did  
that.  
- Some code paths could fail on elog(), but we should to use ereport()  
for failures that can be triggered by the user.  
  
Tests are added to stress all the cases that are fixed as of this  
commit, with some junk raw pages (\set VERBOSITY ensures that this works  
across all page sizes) and unexpected index types when functions open  
relations.

The checkpointer shouldn't ignore its latch.  Other backends may be  
waiting for it to drain the request queue.  Hopefully real systems don't  
have a full queue often, but the condition is reached easily when  
shared_buffers is small.  
  
This involves defining a new wait event, which will appear in the  
pg_stat_activity view often due to spread checkpoints.  
  
Back-patch only to 14.  Even though the problem exists in earlier  
branches too, it's hard to hit there.  In 14 we stopped using signal  
handlers for latches on Linux, *BSD and macOS, which were previously  
hiding this problem by interrupting the sleep (though not reliably, as  
the signal could arrive before the sleep begins; precisely the problem  
latches address).

Commit 8b069ef5d changed this function to look at pg_constraint.conindid  
rather than searching pg_depend.  That was a good performance improvement,  
but it failed to preserve the exact semantics.  The old code would only  
return an index that was "owned by" (internally dependent on) the  
specified constraint, whereas the new code will also return indexes that  
are just referenced by foreign key constraints.  This confuses ALTER  
TABLE, which was implicitly expecting the previous semantics, into  
failing with errors like  
    ERROR:  relation 146621 has multiple clustered indexes  
or  
    ERROR:  "pk_attbl" is not an index for table "atref"  
  
We can fix this without reverting the performance improvement by adding  
a contype check in get_constraint_index().  Another way could be to  
make ALTER TABLE check it, but I'm worried that extension code could  
also have subtle dependencies on the old semantics.

on Windows since 8f3ec75de.  Update this logic to match what libpq  
actually does now.  
  
This is just cosmetic, but still it's potentially misleading.

This macro cast the result to BlockNumber after shifting, not before,  
which is the wrong thing.  Per the C spec, the uint16 fields would  
promote to int not unsigned int, so that (for 32-bit int) the shift  
potentially shifts a nonzero bit into the sign position.  I doubt  
there are any production systems where this would actually end with  
the wrong answer, but it is undefined behavior per the C spec, and  
clang's -fsanitize=undefined option reputedly warns about it on some  
platforms.  (I can't reproduce that right now, but the code is  
undeniably wrong per spec.)  It's easy to fix by casting to  
BlockNumber (uint32) in the proper places.  
  
It's been wrong for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Most of these are cases where we could call memcpy() or other libc  
functions with a NULL pointer and a zero count, which is forbidden  
by POSIX even though every production version of libc allows it.  
We've fixed such things before in a piecemeal way, but apparently  
never made an effort to try to get them all.  I don't claim that  
this patch does so either, but it gets every failure I observe in  
check-world, using clang 12.0.1 on current RHEL8.  
  
numeric.c has a different issue that the sanitizer doesn't like:  
"ln(-1.0)" will compute log10(0) and then try to assign the  
resulting -Inf to an integer variable.  We don't actually use the  
result in such a case, so there's no live bug.  
  
Back-patch to all supported branches, with the idea that we might  
start running a buildfarm member that tests this case.  This includes  
back-patching c1132aae3 (Check the size in COPY_POINTER_FIELD),  
which previously silenced some of these issues in copyfuncs.c.

This change makes libpq apply the same private-key-file ownership  
and permissions checks that we have used in the backend since commit  
9a83564c5.  Namely, that the private key can be owned by either the  
current user or root (with different file permissions allowed in the  
two cases).  This allows system-wide management of key files, which  
is just as sensible on the client side as the server, particularly  
when the client is itself some application daemon.  
  
Sync the comments about this between libpq and the backend, too.

Perl can be convinced to execute user-defined code during compilation  
of a plperl function (or at least a plperlu function).  That's not  
such a big problem as long as the activity is confined within the  
Perl interpreter, and it's not clear we could do anything about that  
anyway.  However, if such code tries to use plperl's SPI functions,  
we have a bigger problem.  In the first place, those functions are  
likely to crash because current_call_data->prodesc isn't set up yet.  
In the second place, because it isn't set up, we lack critical info  
such as whether the function is supposed to be read-only.  And in  
the third place, this path allows code execution during function  
validation, which is strongly discouraged because of the potential  
for security exploits.  Hence, reject execution of the SPI functions  
until compilation is finished.  
  
While here, add check_spi_usage_allowed() calls to various functions  
that hadn't gotten the memo about checking that.  I think that perhaps  
plperl_sv_to_literal may have been intentionally omitted on the grounds  
that it was safe at the time; but if so, the addition of transforms  
functionality changed that.  The others are more recently added and  
seem to be flat-out oversights.

If a checkpoint happens during the index build, and the system crashes  
after the checkpoint and the index build have finished, the data written  
to the index before the checkpoint started could be lost. The checkpoint  
won't have fsync'd it, and it won't be replayed at crash recovery either.  
Fix by calling smgrimmedsync() after the index build, just like in B-tree

"regress" is a new mode added to compute_query_id aimed at facilitating  
regression testing when a module computing query IDs is loaded into the  
backend, like pg_stat_statements.  It works the same way as "auto",  
meaning that query IDs are computed if a module enables it, except that  
query IDs are hidden in EXPLAIN outputs to ensure regression output  
stability.  
  
Like any GUCs of the kind (force_parallel_mode, etc.), this new  
configuration can be added to an instance's postgresql.conf, or just  
passed down with PGOPTIONS at command level.  compute_query_id uses an  
enum for its set of option values, meaning that this addition ensures  
ABI compatibility.  
  
Using this new configuration mode allows installcheck-world to pass when  
running the tests on an instance with pg_stat_statements enabled,  
stabilizing the test output while checking the paths doing query ID  
computations.

When cleaning up temporary objects during process exit the cleanup could fail  
with:  
  FATAL: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot  
  
The bug is caused by RemoveTempRelationsCallback() not setting up a  
snapshot. If an object with toasted catalog data needs to be cleaned up,  
init_toast_snapshot() could fail with the above error.  
  
Most of the time however the the problem is masked due to cached catalog  
snapshots being returned by GetOldestSnapshot(). But dropping an object can  
cause catalog invalidations to be emitted. If no further catalog accesses are  
necessary between the invalidation processing and the next toast datum  
deletion, the bug becomes visible.  
  
It's easy to miss this bug because it typically happens after clients  
disconnect and the FATAL error just ends up in the log.  
  
Luckily temporary table cleanup at the next use of the same temporary schema  
or during DISCARD ALL does not have the same problem.  
  
Fix the bug by pushing a snapshot in RemoveTempRelationsCallback(). Also add  
isolation tests for temporary object cleanup, including objects with toasted  
catalog data.  
  
A future HEAD only commit will add more assertions.

GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of  
a local variable in a long-lived pointer.  This is an entirely  
reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug);  
but that behavior is intentional here.  We can work around it  
by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local  
variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different,  
in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference.  
Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue  
a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens.  
  
Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund.  Back-patch to  
v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain.  
(Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as  
far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12  
is much more widespread.)

Currently, during UPDATE, the unchanged replica identity key attributes  
are not logged separately because they are getting logged as part of the  
new tuple. But if they are stored externally then the untoasted values are  
not getting logged as part of the new tuple and logical replication won't  
be able to replicate such UPDATEs. So we need to log such attributes as  
part of the old_key_tuple during UPDATE.

In commit 1f39a1c06 I made PQisBusy consider conn->write_failed, but  
that is now looking like complete brain fade.  In the first place, the  
logic is quite wrong: it ought to be like "and not" rather than "or".  
This meant that once we'd gotten into a write_failed state, PQisBusy  
would always return true, probably causing the calling application to  
iterate its loop until PQconsumeInput returns a hard failure thanks  
to connection loss.  That's not what we want: the intended behavior  
is to return an error PGresult, which the application probably has  
much cleaner support for.  
  
But in the second place, checking write_failed here seems like the  
wrong thing anyway.  The idea of the write_failed mechanism is to  
postpone handling of a write failure until we've read all we can from  
the server; so that flag should not interfere with input-processing  
behavior.  (Compare 7247e243a.)  What we *should* check for is  
status = CONNECTION_BAD, ie, socket already closed.  (Most places that  
close the socket don't touch asyncStatus, but they do reset status.)  
This primarily ensures that if PQisBusy() returns true then there is  
an open socket, which is assumed by several call sites in our own  
code, and probably other applications too.  
  
While at it, fix a nearby thinko in libpq's my_sock_write: we should  
only consult errno for res < 0, not res == 0.  This is harmless since  
pqsecure_raw_write would force errno to zero in such a case, but it  
still could confuse readers.

createplan.c tries to save a runtime projection step by specifying  
a scan plan node's output as being exactly the table's columns, or  
index's columns in the case of an index-only scan, if there is not a  
reason to do otherwise.  This logic did not previously pay attention  
to whether an index's columns are returnable.  That worked, sort of  
accidentally, until commit 9a3ddeb51 taught setrefs.c to reject plans  
that try to read a non-returnable column.  I have no desire to loosen  
setrefs.c's new check, so instead adjust use_physical_tlist() to not  
try to optimize this way when there are non-returnable column(s).

"pg_ctl stop/restart" checked that the postmaster PID is valid just  
once, as a side-effect of sending the stop signal, and then would  
wait-till-timeout for the postmaster.pid file to go away.  This  
neglects the case wherein the postmaster dies uncleanly after we  
signal it.  Similarly, once "pg_ctl promote" has sent the signal,  
it'd wait for the corresponding on-disk state change to occur  
even if the postmaster dies.  
  
I'm not sure how we've managed not to notice this problem, but it  
seems to explain slow execution of the 017_shm.pl test script on AIX  
since commit 4fdbf9af5, which added a speculative "pg_ctl stop" with  
the idea of making real sure that the postmaster isn't there.  In the  
test steps that kill-9 and then restart the postmaster, it's possible  
to get past the initial signal attempt before kill() stops working  
for the doomed postmaster.  If that happens, pg_ctl waited till  
PGCTLTIMEOUT before giving up ... and the buildfarm's AIX members  
have that set very high.  
  
To fix, include a "kill(pid, 0)" test (similar to what  
postmaster_is_alive uses) in these wait loops, so that we'll  
give up immediately if the postmaster PID disappears.  
  
While here, I chose to refactor those loops out of where they were.  
do_stop() and do_restart() can perfectly well share one copy of the  
wait-for-stop loop, and it seems desirable to put a similar function  
beside that for wait-for-promote.  
  
Back-patch to all supported versions, since pg_ctl's wait logic  
is substantially identical in all, and we're seeing the slow test  
behavior in all branches.

to not do anything indefinitely, even after the "next interrupt" time  
is obviously in the past.  Thus, one missed interrupt can break  
timeout scheduling for the life of the session.  Michael Harris  
reported a scenario where a bug in a user-defined function caused this  
to happen, so you don't even need to assume kernel bugs exist to think  
this is worth fixing.  We can make things more robust at little cost  
by detecting the case where signal_due_at is before "now" and forcing  
a new setitimer call to occur.  This isn't a completely bulletproof  
fix of course; but in our typical usage pattern where we frequently set  
timeouts and clear them before they are reached, the interrupt will  
get re-enabled after at most one timeout interval, which with a little  
luck will be before we really need it.  
  
While here, let's mark signal_due_at as volatile, since the signal  
handler can both examine and set it.  I'm not sure there's any  
actual risk given that signal_pending is already volatile, but  
it's surely questionable.  
  
Backpatch to v14 where this logic came in.

The connection strings in the SSL client tests were using the host  
set up from Cluster.pm which is a temporary pathname. When SNI is  
enabled we pass the host to OpenSSL in order to set the server name  
indication ClientHello extension via SSL_set_tlsext_host_name.  
  
OpenSSL doesn't validate the hostname apart from checking the max  
length, but LibreSSL checks for RFC 5890 conformance which results  
in errors during testing as the pathname from Cluster.pm is not a  
valid hostname.  
  
Fix by setting the host explicitly to localhost, as that's closer  
to the intent of the test.  
  
Backpatch through 14 where SNI support came in.

Some pre-2017 Test::More versions need perfect $Test::Builder::Level  
maintenance to find the variable.  Buildfarm member snapper reported an  
overall failure that the file intended to hide via the TODO construct.  
That trouble was reachable in v11 and v10.  For later branches, this  
serves as defense in depth.  Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Commit 6a2a70a02 supposed that any platform having <sys/epoll.h>  
would also have <sys/signalfd.h>.  It turns out there are still a  
few people using platforms where that's not so, so we'd better make  
a separate configure probe for it.  But since it took this long to  
notice, I'm content with the decision to not have a separate code  
path for epoll-only machines; we'll just fall back to using poll()  
for these stragglers.  
  
Per gripe from Gabriela Serventi.  Back-patch to v14 where this  
code came in.

Recent versions of Devel::PPPort try to redefine eval_pv() to  
dodge a bug in pre-5.31 Perl versions.  Unfortunately the redefinition  
fails on compilers that don't support statements nested within  
expressions.  However, we aren't actually interested in this bug fix,  
since we always call eval_pv() with croak_on_error = FALSE.  
So, until there's an upstream fix for this breakage, just comment  
out the macro to revert to the older behavior.  
  
Per report from Wei Sun, as well as previous buildfarm failure  
on pademelon (which I'd unfortunately not looked at carefully  
enough to understand the cause).  Back-patch to all supported  
versions, since we're using the same ppport.h in all.
