pqsecure_open_gss() includes a code path handling error messages with  
v2-style protocol messages coming from the server.  The client-side  
buffer holding the error message does not force a NULL-termination, with  
the data of the server getting copied to the errorMessage of the  
connection.  Hence, it would be possible for a server to send an  
unterminated string and copy arbitrary bytes in the buffer receiving the  
error message in the client, opening the door to a crash or even data  
exposure.  
  
As at this stage of the authentication process the exchange has not been  
completed yet, this could be abused by an attacker without Kerberos  
credentials.  Clients that have a valid kerberos cache are vulnerable as  
libpq opportunistically requests for it except if gssencmode is  
disabled.

The prior coding of int64_div_fast_to_numeric() had a number of bugs  
that would cause it to fail under different circumstances, such as  
with log10val2 <= 0, or log10val2 a multiple of 4, or in the "slow"  
numeric path with log10val2 >= 10.  
  
None of those could be triggered by any of our current code, which  
only uses log10val2 = 3 or 6. However, they made it a hazard for any  
future code that might use it. Also, since this is exported by  
numeric.c, users writing their own C code might choose to use it.  
  
Therefore fix, and back-patch to v14, where it was introduced.

This test has been added as of 857ee8e that has introduced the SQL  
function txid_status(), with the purpose of checking that a transaction  
ID still in-progress during a crash is correctly marked as aborted after  
recovery finishes.  
  
This test is unstable, and some configuration scenarios may that easier  
to reproduce (wal_level=minimal, wal_compression=on) because the WAL  
holding the information about the in-progress transaction ID may not  
have made it to disk yet, hence a post-crash recovery may cause the same  
XID to be reused, triggering a test failure.  
  
We have discussed a few approaches, like making this function force a  
WAL flush to make it reliable across crashes, but we don't want to pay a  
performance penalty in some scenarios, as well.  The test could have  
been tweaked to enforce a checkpoint but that actually breaks the  
promise of the test to rely on a stable result of txid_status() after  
a crash.  
  
This issue has been reported a few times across the past years, with an  
original report from Kyotaro Horiguchi.  The buildfarm machines tanager,  
hachi and gokiburi enable wal_compression, and fail on this test  
periodically.

If the final chunk of an oversized tuple being written out to disk was  
exactly 32760 bytes, it would be corrupted due to a fencepost bug.  
  
Bug #17619.  Back-patch to 11 where the code arrived.  
  
While testing that (see test module in archives), I (tmunro) noticed  
that the per-participant page counter was not initialized to zero as it  
should have been; that wasn't a live bug when it was written since DSM  
memory was originally always zeroed, but since 14  
min_dynamic_shared_memory might be configured and it supplies non-zeroed  
memory, so that is also fixed here.

The drop database command waits for the logical replication sync worker to  
accept ProcSignalBarrier and the worker's slot creation waits for the drop  
database to finish which leads to a deadlock. This happens because the  
tablesync worker holds interrupts while creating a slot.  
  
We prevent cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot in the table sync  
worker because it is possible that before the server finishes this  
command, a concurrent drop subscription happens which would complete  
without removing this slot and that leads to the slot existing until the  
end of walsender. However, the slot will eventually get dropped at the  
walsender exit time, so there is no danger of the dangling slot.  
  
This patch reallows cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot and  
modifies the test to wait for slots to become zero to prevent finding an  
ephemeral slot.  
  
The reported hang doesn't happen in PG14 as the drop database starts to  
wait for ProcSignalBarrier with PG15 (commits 4eb2176318 and e2f65f4255)  
but it is good to backpatch this till PG14 as it is not a good idea to  
prevent interrupts during a network call that could block indefinitely.

When libpqrcv_connect (also known as walrcv_connect()) failed, it leaked the  
libpq connection. In most paths that's fairly harmless, as the calling process  
will exit soon after. But e.g. CREATE SUBSCRIPTION could lead to a somewhat  
longer lived leak.  
  
Fix by releasing resources, including the libpq connection, on error.  
  
Add a test exercising the error code path. To make it reliable and safe, the  
test tries to connect to port=-1, which happens to fail during connection  
establishment, rather than during connection string parsing.

b762fed64 recently changed this test to prevent subquery pullup to allow  
us to test Memoize with lateral_vars.  As pointed out by Tom Lane, OFFSET  
0 is our standard way of preventing subquery pullups, so do it that way  
instead.

The test in question was meant to be testing Memoize to ensure it worked  
correctly when the inner side of the join contained lateral vars, however,  
nothing in the lateral subquery stopped it from being pulled up into the  
main query, so the planner did that, and that meant no more lateral vars.  
  
Here we add a simple ORDER BY to stop the planner from being able to  
pullup the lateral subquery.

The motivation for this change is that when pg_dump dumps a  
partitioned index that's marked REPLICA IDENTITY, it generates a  
command sequence that applies REPLICA IDENTITY before the partitioned  
index has been marked valid, causing restore to fail.  We could  
perhaps change pg_dump to not do it like that, but that would be  
difficult and would not fix existing dump files with the problem.  
There seems to be very little reason for the backend to disallow  
this anyway --- the code ignores indisreplident when the index  
isn't valid --- so instead let's fix it by allowing the case.  
  
Commit 9511fb37a previously expressed a concern that allowing  
indisreplident to be set on invalid indexes might allow us to  
wind up in a situation where a table could have indisreplident  
set on multiple indexes.  I'm not sure I follow that concern  
exactly, but in any case the only way that could happen is because  
relation_mark_replica_identity is too trusting about the existing set  
of markings being valid.  Let's just rip out its early-exit code path  
(which sure looks like premature optimization anyway; what are we  
doing expending code to make redundant ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA  
IDENTITY commands marginally faster and not-redundant ones marginally  
slower?) and fix it to positively guarantee that no more than one  
index is marked indisreplident.  
  
The pg_dump failure can be demonstrated in all supported branches,  
so back-patch all the way.  I chose to back-patch 9511fb37a as well,  
just to keep indisreplident handling the same in all branches.

When the length was too short, the server read outside the allocation.  
That yielded the same log noise as sending the correct length with  
(backendPID,cancelAuthCode) matching nothing.  Change to a message about  
the unexpected length.  Given the attacker's lack of control over the  
memory layout and the general lack of diversity in memory layouts at the  
code in question, we doubt a would-be attacker could cause a segfault.  
Hence, while the report arrived via security@postgresql.org, this is not  
a vulnerability.  Back-patch to v11 (all supported versions).

When ending recovery based on recovery_target_xid matching with  
recovery_target_inclusive = off, we printed an incorrect timestamp  
(always 2000-01-01) in the "recovery stopping before ... transaction"  
log message.  This is a consequence of sloppy refactoring in  
c945af80c: the code to fetch recordXtime out of the commit/abort  
record used to be executed unconditionally, but it was changed  
to get called only in the RECOVERY_TARGET_TIME case.  We need only  
flip the order of operations to restore the intended behavior.

This is wrong since 88e9823, that has switched the WAL sizing  
configuration from checkpoint_segments to min_wal_size and  
max_wal_size.  This missed the recalculation of the internal value of  
the internal "CheckPointSegments", that works as a mapping of the old  
GUC checkpoint_segments, on reload, for example, and it controls the  
timing of checkpoints depending on the volume of WAL generated.  
  
Most users tend to leave checkpoint_completion_target at 0.9 to smooth  
the I/O workload, which is why I guess this has gone unnoticed for so  
long, still it can be useful to tweak and reload the value dynamically  
in some cases to control the timing of checkpoints.

test_extensions' test_ext_cine extension has the same upgrade hazard  
as test_ext7: the regression test leaves it in an updated state  
from which no downgrade path to default is provided.  This causes  
the update_extensions.sql script helpfully provided by pg_upgrade  
to fail.  So drop it in cross-version-upgrade testing.  
  
Not entirely sure how come I didn't hit this in testing yesterday;  
possibly I'd built the upgrade reference databases with  
testmodules-install-check disabled.  
  
Backpatch to v10 where this module was introduced.

To test pg_upgrade across major PG versions, we have to be able to  
modify or drop any old objects with no-longer-supported properties,  
and we have to be able to deal with cosmetic changes in pg_dump output.  
Up to now, the buildfarm and pg_upgrade's own test infrastructure had  
separate implementations of the former, and we had nothing but very  
ad-hoc rules for the latter (including an arbitrary threshold on how  
many lines of unchecked diff were okay!).  This patch creates a Perl  
module that can be shared by both those use-cases, and adds logic  
that deals with pg_dump output diffs in a much more tightly defined  
fashion.  
  
This largely supersedes previous efforts in commits 0df9641d3,  
9814ff550, and 62be9e4cd, which developed a SQL-script-based solution  
for the task of dropping old objects.  There was nothing fundamentally  
wrong with that work in itself, but it had no basis for solving the  
output-formatting problem.  The most plausible way to deal with  
formatting is to build a Perl module that can perform editing on the  
dump files; and once we commit to that, it makes more sense for the  
same module to also embed the knowledge of what has to be done for  
dropping old objects.  
  
Back-patch versions of the helper module as far as 9.2, to  
support buildfarm animals that still test that far back.  
It's also necessary to back-patch PostgreSQL/Version.pm,  
because the new code depends on that.  I fixed up pg_upgrade's  
002_pg_upgrade.pl in v15, but did not look into back-patching  
it further than that.

Remove "%m" from error messages where errno would be bogus.  Add short  
read byte counts where appropriate.  
  
This is equivalent to what was done in  
7897e3bb902c557412645b82120f4d95f7474906, but some code was apparently  
developed concurrently to that and not updated accordingly.

In commit 8bf6ec3ba I assumed that no code path could reach  
ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols without having gone through  
ExecInitStoredGenerated.  That turns out not to be the case in  
logical replication: if there's an ON UPDATE trigger on the target  
table, trigger.c will call this code before anybody has set up its  
generated columns.  Having seen that, I don't have a lot of faith in  
there not being other such paths.  ExecGetExtraUpdatedCols can call  
ExecInitStoredGenerated for itself, as long as we are willing to  
assume that it is only called in CMD_UPDATE operations, which on  
the whole seems like a safer leap of faith.

The WAIT_USE_EPOLL and WAIT_USE_KQUEUE implementations of  
WaitEventSetWaitBlock() confused the size of their internal buffer with  
the size of the caller's output buffer, and could ask the kernel for too  
many events.  In fact the set of events retrieved from the kernel needs  
to be able to fit in both buffers, so take the smaller of the two.  
  
The WAIT_USE_POLL and WAIT_USE WIN32 implementations didn't have this  
confusion.  
  
This probably didn't come up before because we always used the same  
number in both places, but commit 7389aad6 calculates a dynamic size at  
construction time, while using MAXLISTEN for its output event buffer on  
the stack.  That seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, so  
consider this to be a pre-existing bug worth fixing.  
  
As discovered by valgrind on skink.  
  
Back-patch to all supported releases for epoll, and to release 13 for  
the kqueue part, which copied the incorrect epoll code.

The current jsonpath code assumes that the referenced variable always exists.  
It could only throw an error at the value valuation time.  At the same time  
existence checking assumes variable is present without valuation, and error  
suppression doesn't work for missing variables.  
  
This commit makes existense checking trigger an error for missing variables.  
This makes the overall behavior consistent.  
  
Backpatch to 12 where jsonpath was introduced.

The ALTER DATABASE|FUNCTION|PROCEDURE|ROLE|ROUTINE|USER ... SET <name>  
case in psql tab completion failed to exclude <name> = "SCHEMA", which  
caused ALTER FUNCTION|PROCEDURE|ROUTINE ... SET SCHEMA to complete  
with "FROM CURRENT" and "TO", which won't work.  
  
Fix that, so that those cases now complete with the list of schemas,  
like other ALTER ... SET SCHEMA commands.

ALTER FUNCTION/PROCEDURE/ROUTINE, but this is not directly related to  
that patch. Rather, this is a long-standing bug, so back-patch to all

We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance  
children by transposing the calculation made for their parent.  
However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child  
can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that  
have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression.  
(At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning  
either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case  
clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.)  
  
Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field  
in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated  
columns during executor startup.  In HEAD we can remove  
extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but  
always empty.  Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch  
versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field  
to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches.  
Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead.  
  
Back-patch to v13.  The bogus calculation is also being made in v12,  
but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it  
to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of  
which the patch doesn't apply easily.  I think that there might still  
be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but  
that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it  
unfixed in v12.

New versions of perl trigger warnings within perl.h with our compiler  
flags. At least -Wdeclaration-after-statement, -Wshadow=compatible-local are  
known to be problematic.  
  
To avoid these warnings, conditionally use #pragma GCC system_header before  
including plperl.h.  
  
Alternatively, we could add the include paths for problematic headers with  
-isystem, but that is a larger hammer and is harder to search for.  
  
A more granular alternative would be to use #pragma GCC diagnostic  
push/ignored/pop, but gcc warns about unknown warnings being ignored, so every  
to-be-ignored-temporarily compiler warning would require its own pg_config.h  
symbol and #ifdef.  
  
As the warnings are voluminous, it makes sense to backpatch this change. But  
don't do so yet, we first want gather buildfarm coverage - it's e.g. possible  
that some compiler claiming to be gcc compatible has issues with the pragma.

When considering an empty grouping set, we fetched  
phasedata->eqfunctions[-1].  Because the eqfunctions array is  
palloc'd, that would always be an aset pointer in released versions,  
and thus the code accidentally failed to malfunction (since it would  
do nothing unless it found a null pointer).  Nonetheless this seems  
like trouble waiting to happen, so add a check for length == 0.  
  
It's depressing that our valgrind testing did not catch this.  
Maybe we should reconsider the choice to not mark that word NOACCESS?

When brin_minmax_multi_union merges summaries, we may end up with just a  
single range after merge_overlapping_ranges. The summaries may contain  
just one range each, and they may overlap (or be exactly the same).  
  
With a single range there's no distance to calculate, but we happen to  
call build_distances anyway - which is fine, we don't calculate the  
distance in this case, except that with asserts this failed due to a  
check there are at least two ranges.  
  
The assert is unnecessarily strict, so relax it a bit and bail out if  
there's just a single range. The relaxed assert would be enough, but  
this way we don't allocate unnecessary memory for distance.

Andrey Lepikhov demonstrated a case where we spend an unreasonable

interruptable by control-C.  Let's stick a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS  
there, along with sprinkling some stack depth checks.  
  
An actual fix for the excessive time consumption seems a bit  
risky to back-patch; but this isn't, so let's do so.

seg stores the number of significant digits in an input number  
in a "char" field.  If char is signed, and the input is more than  
127 digits long, the count can read out as negative causing  
seg_out() to print garbage (or, if you're really unlucky,  
even crash).  
  
To fix, clamp the digit count to be not more than FLT_DIG.  
(In theory this loses some information about what the original  
input was, but it doesn't seem like useful information; it would  
not survive dump/restore in any case.)  
  
Also, in case there are stored values of the seg type containing  
bad data, add a clamp in seg_out's restore() subroutine.  
  
Per bug #17725 from Robins Tharakan.  It's been like this  
forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Such references failed with "cache lookup failed for type 0"  
because we didn't resolve the type of the CYCLE column until after  
analyzing the CTE's query.  We can just move that processing  
to before the recursive parse_sub_analyze call, though.  
  
While here, invent a couple of local variables to make this  
code less egregiously wider-than-80-columns.  
  
Per bug #17723 from Vik Fearing.  Back-patch to v14 where  
the CYCLE feature was added.

It seems that drop-index-concurrently-1 has started to forget what it was  
originally meant to be testing.  d2d8a229b, which added incremental sorts  
changed the expected plan to be an Index Scan plan instead of a Seq Scan  
plan.  This occurred as the primary key index of the table in question  
provided presorted input and, because that index happened to be the  
cheapest input path due to enable_seqscan being disabled, the incremental  
sort changes just added a Sort on top of that.  It seems based on the name  
of the PREPAREd statement that the intention here is that the query  
produces a seqscan plan.  
  
The reason this test has become broken seems to be due to how the test was  
originally coded.  The test was trying to force a seqscan plan by  
performing some casting to make it so the test_dc index couldn't be used  
to perform the required filtering.  Trying to coax the planner into using  
a plan which has costed in a disable_cost seems like it's always going to  
be flakey as small changes in costs are drowned out by the large  
disable_cost combined with add_path's STD_FUZZ_FACTOR.  Here we get rid of  
the casts that we're using to try to trick the planner into a seqscan and  
instead toggle enable_seqscan as and when required to get the desired  
plan.  
  
Additionally, rename a few things in the test and add some additional  
wording to the comments to try and make it more clear in the future what  
we expect this test to be doing.

Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the  
XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false",  
on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of  
PreventInTransactionBlock().  This turns out to be a bad idea though,  
because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to  
cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected.  
  
Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue,  
which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal  
commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly  
committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline.  
  
To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag  
XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we  
have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a  
commit for it.  Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing  
InTransactionBlock() to return "false".  
  
Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT  
without fear of causing problems.  This means that the API guarantees  
of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock,  
which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage  
of IsInTransactionBlock.  (In any case, a caller preferring the old  
behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.)  
  
For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set  
in PreventInTransactionBlock.  This too is meant to prevent commands  
such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands  
in a pipeline.  
  
Per report from Peter Eisentraut.  As before, back-patch to all  
supported branches (which sadly no longer includes v10).

jsonb_get_element() was incautious enough to use VARDATA() and  
VARSIZE() directly on an arbitrary text Datum.  That of course  
fails if the Datum is short-header, compressed, or out-of-line.  
The typical result would be failing to match any element of a  
jsonb object, though matching the wrong one seems possible as well.  
  
setPathObject() was slightly brighter, in that it used VARDATA_ANY  
and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR, but that only kept it out of trouble for  
short-header Datums.  push_path() had the same issue.  This could  
result in faulty subscripted insertions, though keys long enough to  
cause a problem are likely rare in the wild.  
  
Having seen these, I looked around for unsafe usages in the rest  
of the adt/json* files.  There are a couple of places where it's not  
immediately obvious that the Datum can't be compressed or out-of-line,  
so I added pg_detoast_datum_packed() to cope if it is.  Also, remove  
some other usages of VARDATA/VARSIZE on Datums we just extracted from  
a text array.  Those aren't actively broken, but they will become so  
if we ever start allowing short-header array elements, which does not  
seem like a terribly unreasonable thing to do.  In any case they are  
not great coding examples, and they could also do with comments  
pointing out that we're assuming we don't need pg_detoast_datum_packed.

In commit ffbb7e65a, I added a ModifyTableState member to ResultRelInfo  
to save the owning ModifyTableState for use by nodeModifyTable.c when  
performing batch inserts, but as pointed out by Tom Lane, that changed  
the array stride of es_result_relations, and that would break any  
previously-compiled extension code that accesses that array.  Fix by  
removing that member from ResultRelInfo and instead adding a List member  
at the end of EState to save such ModifyTableStates.

A couple of places weren't up to speed for this.  By sheer good  
luck, we didn't fail but just selected a non-memoized join plan,  
at least in the test case we have.  Nonetheless, it's a bug,  
and I'm not quite sure that it couldn't have worse consequences  
in other examples.  So back-patch to v14 where Memoize came in.

It neglected to recurse to the subpath, meaning you'd get back  
a path identical to the input.  This could produce wrong query  
results if the omission meant that the subpath fails to enforce  
some join clause it should be enforcing.  We don't have a test  
case for this at the moment, but the code is obviously broken  
and the fix is equally obvious.  Back-patch to v14 where  
Memoize was introduced.

We might fail to generate a partitionwise join, because  
reparameterize_path_by_child() does not support all path types.  
This should not be a hard failure condition: we should just fall back  
to a non-partitioned join.  However, generate_partitionwise_join_paths  
did not consider this possibility and would emit the (misleading)  
error "could not devise a query plan for the given query" if we'd  
failed to make any paths for a child join.  Fix it to give up on  
partitionwise joining if so.  (The accepted technique for giving up  
appears to be to set rel->nparts = 0, which I find pretty bizarre,  
but there you have it.)  
  
I have not added a test case because there'd be little point:  
any omissions of this sort that we identify would soon get fixed  
by extending reparameterize_path_by_child(), so the test would stop  
proving anything.  However, right now there is a known test case based  
on failure to cover MaterialPath, and with that I've found that this  
is broken in all supported versions.  Hence, patch all the way back.  
  
Original report and patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for  
identifying a test case that works against committed versions.

When updating a relation with a rule whose action performed an INSERT  
from a multi-row VALUES list, the rewriter might skip processing the  
VALUES list, and therefore fail to replace any DEFAULTs in it. This  
would lead to an "unrecognized node type" error.  
  
The reason was that RewriteQuery() assumed that a query doing an  
INSERT from a multi-row VALUES list would necessarily only have one  
item in its fromlist, pointing to the VALUES RTE to read from. That  
assumption is correct for the original query, but not for product  
queries produced for rule actions. In such cases, there may be  
multiple items in the fromlist, possibly including multiple VALUES  
RTEs.  
  
What is required instead is for RewriteQuery() to skip any RTEs from  
the product query's originating query, which might include one or more  
already-processed VALUES RTEs. What's left should then include at most  
one VALUES RTE (from the rule action) to be processed.

When the relkind of a relache entry changes, because a table is converted into  
a view, pgstats can get confused in 15+, leading to crashes or assertion  
failures.  
  
For HEAD, Tom fixed this in b23cd185fd5, by removing support for converting a  
table to a view, removing the source of the inconsistency. This commit just  
adds an assertion that a relcache entry's relkind does not change, just in  
case we end up with another case of that in the future. As there's no cases of  
changing relkind anymore, we can't add a test that that's handled correctly.  
  
For 15, fix the problem by not maintaining the association with the old pgstat  
entry when the relkind changes during a relcache invalidation processing. In  
that case the pgstat entry needs to be unlinked first, to avoid  
PgStat_TableStatus->relation getting out of sync. Also add a test reproducing  
the issues.  
  
No known problem exists in 11-14, so just add the test there.

Some options of these commands need to be able to identify the start

In commit 40c24bfef, I forgot to use get_rule_expr_paren() for the  
arguments of AT TIME ZONE, resulting in possibly not printing parens  
for expressions that need it.  But get_rule_expr_paren() wouldn't have  
gotten it right anyway, because isSimpleNode() hadn't been taught that  
COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX parent nodes don't guarantee sufficient parentheses.  
Improve all that.  Also use this methodology for F_IS_NORMALIZED, so  
that we don't print useless parens for that.

The frontend-side routine in charge of building a SCRAM verifier  
mentioned that the restrictions applying to SASLprep on the password  
with the encoding are described at the top of fe-auth-scram.c, but this

Previously, we'd compress only when the active range of array entries  
reached Max(4 * PROCARRAY_MAXPROCS, 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids).  
If max_connections is large, the first term could result in not  
compressing for a long time, resulting in much wastage of cycles in  
hot-standby backends scanning the array to take snapshots.  Get rid  
of that term, and just bound it to 2 * pArray->numKnownAssignedXids.  
  
That however creates the opposite risk, that we might spend too much  
effort compressing.  Hence, consider compressing only once every 128  
commit records.  (This frequency was chosen by benchmarking.  While  
we only tried one benchmark scenario, the results seem stable over  
a fairly wide range of frequencies.)  
  
Also, force compression when processing RecoveryInfo WAL records  
(which should be infrequent); the old code could perform compression  
then, but would do so only after the same array-range check as for  
the transaction-commit path.  
  
Also, opportunistically run compression if the startup process is about  
to wait for WAL, though not oftener than once a second.  This should  
prevent cases where we waste lots of time by leaving the array  
not-compressed for long intervals due to low WAL traffic.  
  
Lastly, add a simple check to keep us from uselessly compressing  
when the array storage is already compact.  
  
Back-patch, as the performance problem is worse in pre-v14 branches  
than in HEAD.

This is an oversight in commit 7c337b6b5: I apparently didn't think  
about the possibility of a SQL function being executed multiple  
times within a query.  In that case, functions.c's primitive caching  
mechanism allows the same utility parse tree to be presented for  
execution more than once.  We have to tell ProcessUtility to make  
a working copy of the parse tree, or bad things happen.  
  
Normally I'd add a regression test, but I think the reported crasher  
is dependent on some rather random implementation choices that are  
nowhere near functions.c, so its usefulness as a long-lived test  
feels questionable.  In any case, this fix is clearly correct given  
the design choices of 7c337b6b5.  
  
Per bug #17702 from Xin Wen.  Thanks to Daniel Gustafsson for  
analysis.  Back-patch to v14 where the faulty commit came in  
(before that, the responsibility for copying scribble-able  
utility parse trees lay elsewhere).

The JOIN_SEMI case Assert'ed that there are no PlaceHolderVars that  
need to be evaluated at the semijoin's RHS, which is wrong because  
there could be some in the semijoin's qual condition.  However, there  
could not be any references further up than that, and within the qual  
there is not any way that such a PHV could have gone to null yet, so  
we don't really need the PHV and there is no need to avoid making the  
RHS-removal optimization.  The upshot is that there's no actual bug  
in production code, and we ought to just remove this misguided Assert.  
  
While we're here, also drop the JOIN_RIGHT case, which is dead code  
because reduce_outer_joins() already got rid of JOIN_RIGHT.  
  
Per bug #17700 from Xin Wen.  Uselessness of the JOIN_RIGHT case  
pointed out by Richard Guo.  Back-patch to v12 where this code  
was added.

When loading plperl built against Strawberry perl or the msys2 ucrt perl  
that have been built with gcc, a binary mismatch has been encountered  
which looks like this:  
  
loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0000000012800080, needed 0000000012900080)  
  
To cure this we bring the handshake keys into sync by adding  
NO_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE to the defines used to build plperl.

Commit b663a4136, which allowed FDWs to INSERT rows in bulk, added to  
nodeModifyTable.c code to flush pending inserts to the foreign-table  
result relation(s) before completing processing of the ModifyTable node,  
but the code failed to take into account the case where the INSERT query  
has modifying CTEs, leading to incorrect results.  
  
Also, that commit failed to flush pending inserts before firing BEFORE  
ROW triggers so that rows are visible to such triggers.  
  
In that commit we scanned through EState's  
es_tuple_routing_result_relations or es_opened_result_relations list to  
find the foreign-table result relations to which pending inserts are  
flushed, but that would be inefficient in some cases.  So to fix, 1) add  
a List member to EState to record the insert-pending result relations,  
and 2) modify nodeModifyTable.c so that it adds the foreign-table result  
relation to the list in ExecInsert() if appropriate, and flushes pending  
inserts properly using the list where needed.  
  
While here, fix a copy-and-pasteo in a comment in ExecBatchInsert(),  
which was added by that commit.  
  
Back-patch to v14 where that commit appeared.

In commit 272248a0c, we introduced an InitialRunningXacts array to  
remember transactions and subtransactions that were running when the  
xl_running_xacts record that we decoded was written. This array was  
allocated in the snapshot builder memory context after we restore  
serialized snapshot but we forgot to reset the array while freeing the  
builder memory context. So, the next time when we start decoding in the  
same session where we don't restore any serialized snapshot, we ended up  
using the uninitialized array and that can lead to unpredictable behavior.  
  
This problem doesn't exist in HEAD as instead of using  
InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and  
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during  
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

We've made multiple attempts at preventing get_actual_variable_range  
from taking an unreasonable amount of time (3ca930fc3, fccebe421).  
But there's still an issue for the very first planning attempt after  
deletion of a large number of extremal-valued tuples.  While that  
planning attempt will set "killed" bits on the tuples it visits and  
thereby reduce effort for next time, there's still a lot of work it  
has to do to visit the heap and then set those bits.  It's (usually?)  
not worth it to do that much work at plan time to have a slightly  
better estimate, especially in a context like this where the table  
contents are known to be mutating rapidly.  
  
Therefore, let's bound the amount of work to be done by giving up  
after we've visited 100 heap pages.  Giving up just means we'll  
fall back on the extremal value recorded in pg_statistic, so it  
shouldn't mean that planner estimates suddenly become worthless.  
  
Note that this means we'll still gradually whittle down the problem  
by setting a few more index "killed" bits in each planning attempt;  
so eventually we'll reach a good state (barring further deletions),  
even in the absence of VACUUM.

Currently there is a race condition where if concurrent TAP tests both  
test that they can open a port they will assume that it is free and use  
it, causing one of them to fail. To prevent this we record a reservation  
using an exclusive lock, and any TAP test that discovers a reservation  
checks to see if the reserving process is still alive, and looks for  
another free port if it is.  
  
Ports are reserved in a directory set by the environment setting  
PG_TEST_PORT_DIR, or if that doesn't exist a subdirectory of the top  
build directory as set by Makefile.global, or its own  
tmp_check directory.  
  
The prove_check recipe in Makefile.global.in is extended to export  
top_builddir to the TAP tests. This was already exported by the  
prove_installcheck recipes.

Once a logical slot has acquired a catalog_xmin, it doesn't let go of  
it, even when invalidated by exceeding the max_slot_wal_keep_size, which  
means that dead catalog tuples are not removed by vacuum anymore since  
the point is invalidated, until the slot is dropped.  This could be  
catastrophic if catalog churn is high.  
  
Change the computation of Xmin to ignore invalidated slots,  
to prevent dead rows from accumulating.

This reverts commit 5cda142bb9d2bd7e7ed1c22ae89afe58abfa8d7b  
(in v14 only).  
  
It turns out that that fails under force_parallel_mode = regress,  
because pageinspect's disk-access functions are marked parallel  
safe, which they are not if you try to use them on a temp table.  
The cost of fixing that pre-v15 seems to exceed the value of  
making this test case fully stable, so we will just leave things  
as-is in v14.

pageinspect has occasionally failed on slow buildfarm members,  
with symptoms indicating that the expected effects of VACUUM  
FREEZE didn't happen.  This is presumably because a background  
transaction such as auto-analyze was holding back global xmin.  
  
We can work around that by using a temp table in the test.  
Since commit a7212be8b, that will use an up-to-date cutoff xmin  
regardless of other processes.  And pageinspect itself shouldn't  
really care whether the table is temp.  
  
Back-patch to v14.  There would be no point in older branches  
without back-patching a7212be8b, which seems like more trouble  
than the problem is worth.

ProcSleep() used a PGPROC* variable to point to PROC_QUEUE->links.next,  
because that does "the right thing" with SHMQueueInsertBefore(). While that  
largely works, it's certainly not correct and unnecessary - we can just use  
SHM_QUEUE* to point to the insertion point.  
  
Noticed when testing a 32bit of postgres with undefined behavior  
sanitizer. UBSan noticed that sometimes the supposed PGPROC wasn't  
sufficiently aligned (required since 46d6e5f5679, ensured indirectly, via  
ShmemAllocRaw() guaranteeing cacheline alignment).  
  
For now fix this by using a SHM_QUEUE* for the insertion point. Subsequently  
we should replace all the use of PROC_QUEUE and SHM_QUEUE with ilist.h, but  
that's a larger change that we don't want to backpatch.  
  
Backpatch to all supported versions - it's useful to be able to run postgres  
under UBSan.

basics.source is supposed to be pretty closely in step with  
the examples in chapter 2 of the tutorial, but I forgot to  
update it in commit f05a5e000.  Fix that, and adjust a couple  
of other discrepancies that had crept in over time.  
  
(I notice that advanced.source is nowhere near being in sync  
with chapter 3, but I lack the ambition to do something  
about that right now.)

getPolicies() had the same disease I fixed in other places in  
commit e3fcbbd62, i.e., it was calling pg_get_expr() for  
expressions on tables that we don't necessarily have lock on.  
To fix, restrict the query to only collect interesting rows,  
rather than doing the filtering on the client side.

Avoid calling pg_get_partkeydef(), pg_get_expr(relpartbound),  
and regtypeout until we have lock on the relevant tables.  
The existing coding is at serious risk of failure if there  
are any concurrent DROP TABLE commands going on --- including

This is a back-patch of the v15-era commit f10f0ae42 into older  
supported branches.  The idea is to design out bugs in which an  
ill-timed relcache flush clears rel->rd_smgr partway through  
some code sequence that wasn't expecting that.  We had another  
report today of a corner case that reliably crashes v14 under  
debug_discard_caches (nee CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS), and therefore  
would crash once in a blue moon in the field.  We're unlikely  
to get rid of all such code paths unless we adopt the more  
rigorous coding rules instituted by f10f0ae42.  Therefore,  
even though this is a bit invasive, it's time to back-patch.  
Some comfort can be taken in the fact that f10f0ae42 has been  
in v15 for 16 months without problems.  
  
I left the RelationOpenSmgr macro present in the back branches,  
even though no core code should use it anymore, in order to not break  
third-party extensions in minor releases.  Such extensions might opt  
to start using RelationGetSmgr instead, to reduce their code  
differential between v15 and earlier branches.  This carries a hazard  
of failing to compile against headers from existing minor releases.  
However, once compiled the extension should work fine even with such  
releases, because RelationGetSmgr is a "static inline" function so  
it creates no link-time dependency.  So depending on distribution  
practices, that might be an OK tradeoff.  
  
Per report from Spyridon Dimitrios Agathos.  Original patch  
by Amul Sul.

During XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay, we were checking for a  
cleanup lock on the new bucket page after acquiring an exclusive lock on  
it and raising a PANIC error on failure. However, it is quite possible  
that checkpointer can acquire the pin on the same page before acquiring a  
lock on it, and then the replay will lead to an error. So instead, directly  
acquire the cleanup lock on the new bucket page during  
XLOG_HASH_SPLIT_ALLOCATE_PAGE replay operation.

The original report was concerned with a possible inconsistency  
between the heap and the visibility map, which I was unable to  
confirm. The concern has been retracted.  
  
However, there did seem to be a torn page hazard when using  
checksums. By not setting the heap page LSN during redo, the  
protections of minRecoveryPoint were bypassed. Fixed, along with a  
misleading comment.  
  
It may have been impossible to hit this problem in practice, because  
it would require a page tear between the checksum and the flags, so I  
am marking this as a theoretical risk. But, as discussed, it did  
violate expectations about the page LSN, so it may have other  
consequences.  
  
Backpatch to all supported versions.

The stanza "SET STORAGE may need to add a TOAST table" does not  
test what it's supposed to, and hasn't done so since we added  
the ability to store constant column default values as metadata.  
We need to use a non-constant default to get the expected table  
rewrite to actually happen.  
  
Fix that, and add the missing checks that would have exposed the  
problem to begin with.

In commit 450ee7012 I supposed that all platforms we now care about have  
snprintf(), since that's required by C99.  Turns out that Microsoft did  
not get around to adding that until VS2015.  We've dropped support for  
VS2013 as of HEAD (cf 6203583b7), but not in the back branches, so add  
a hack for this in the back branches only.  
  
There's no easy shortcut to an exact emulation of standard snprintf  
in VS2013, but fortunately we don't need one: this code was just fine  
with using sprintf before 450ee7012, so we can make it do so again  
on that platform (and any others where the problem might crop up).

Commit fede15417 introduced FILTER by jamming it into the existing  
example introducing HAVING, which seems pedagogically poor to me;  
and it added no information about what the keyword actually does.  
Not to mention that the claimed output didn't match the sample  
data being used in this running example.  
  
Revert that and instead make an independent example using FILTER.  
To help drive home the point that it's a per-aggregate filter,  
we need to use two aggregates not just one; for consistency  
expand all the examples in this segment to do that.  
  
Also adjust the example using WHERE ... LIKE so that it'd produce  
nonempty output with this sample data, and show that output.  
  
Back-patch, as the previous patch was.  (Sadly, v10 is now out  
of scope.)
