Add some additional defensive checks in the second phase of index
deletion to detect and report index corruption during VACUUM, and to
avoid having VACUUM become stuck in more cases.  The code is still not
robust in the presence of a circular chain of sibling links, though it's
not clear whether that really matters.  This is follow-up work to commit
3a01f68.

The new defensive checks rely on the assumption that there can be no
more than one VACUUM operation running for an index at any given time.
Remove an old comment suggesting that multiple concurrent VACUUMs need
to be considered here.  This concern now seems highly unlikely to have
any real validity, since we clearly rely on the same assumption in
several other places.  For example, there are much more recent comments
that appear in the same function (added by commit efada2b) that make
the same assumption.

Also add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the relevant code path.  Contrary
to comments added by commit 3a01f68, it is actually possible to handle
interrupts here, at least in the common case where processing takes
place at the leaf level.  We only hold a pin on leafbuf/target page when
stepping right at the leaf level.

No backpatch due to the lack of complaints following hardening added to
the same area by commit 3a01f68.
switchToPresortedPrefixMode() did the wrong thing if it detected
a batch boundary just at the last tuple of a fullsort group.

The initially-reported symptom was a "retrieved too many tuples in a
bounded sort" error, but the test case added here just silently gives
the wrong answer without this patch.

I (tgl) am not really happy about committing this patch without review
from the incremental-sort authors, but they seem AWOL and we are hard
against a release deadline.  This does demonstrably make some cases
better, anyway.

Per bug #16846 from Yoran Heling.  Back-patch to v13 where incremental
sort was introduced.

Commit 2302302 taught nodeAgg.c that, when spilling tuples from
memory in an oversized hash aggregation, it only needed to spill
input columns referenced in the node's tlist and quals.  Unfortunately,
that's wrong: we also have to save the grouping columns.  The error
is masked in common cases because the grouping columns also appear
in the tlist, but that's not necessarily true.  The main category
of plans where it's not true seem to come from semijoins ("WHERE
outercol IN (SELECT innercol FROM innertable)") where the innercol
needs an implicit promotion to make it comparable to the outercol.
The grouping column will be "innercol::promotedtype", but that
expression appears nowhere in the Agg node's own tlist and quals;
only the bare "innercol" is found in the tlist.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for a suitable regression test
case for this, without much success.  If the number of distinct
values of the innercol is large enough to make spilling happen,
the planner tends to prefer a non-HashAgg plan, at least for
problem sizes that are reasonable to use in the regression tests.
So, no new regression test.  However, this patch does demonstrably
fix the originally-reported test case.

Commit 08d2d58 added an assertion assuming that the retrieved_rows
estimate for a foreign relation, which is re-used to cost pre-sorted
foreign paths with local stats, is set to at least one row in
estimate_path_cost_size(), which isn't correct because if the relation
is a foreign table with tuples=0, the estimate would be set to 0 there
when not using remote estimates.

If a multi-byte character is escaped with a backslash in TEXT mode input,
and the encoding is one of the client-only encodings where the bytes after
the first one can have an ASCII byte "embedded" in the char, we didn't
skip the character correctly. After a backslash, we only skipped the first
byte of the next character, so if it was a multi-byte character, we would
try to process its second byte as if it was a separate character. If it
was one of the characters with special meaning, like '\n', '\r', or
another '\\', that would cause trouble.

One such exmple is the byte sequence '\x5ca45c2e666f6f' in Big5 encoding.
That's supposed to be [backslash][two-byte character][.][f][o][o], but
because the second byte of the two-byte character is 0x5c, we incorrectly
treat it as another backslash. And because the next character is a dot, we
parse it as end-of-copy marker, and throw an "end-of-copy marker corrupt"
error.

Generally, members of inheritance trees must be plain tables (or,
in more recent versions, foreign tables).  ALTER TABLE INHERIT
rejects creating an inheritance relationship that has a view at
either end.  When DefineQueryRewrite attempts to convert a relation
to a view, it already had checks prohibiting doing so for partitioning
parents or children as well as traditional-inheritance parents ...
but it neglected to check that a traditional-inheritance child wasn't
being converted.  Since the planner assumes that any inheritance
child is a table, this led to making plans that tried to do a physical
scan on a view, causing failures (or even crashes, in recent versions).

One could imagine trying to support such a case by expanding the view
normally, but since the rewriter runs before the planner does
inheritance expansion, it would take some very fundamental refactoring
to make that possible.  There are probably a lot of other parts of the
system that don't cope well with such a situation, too.  For now,
just forbid it.

(In versions before v10, this includes back-patching the portion of

rewriteRuleAction() neglected this step, although it was careful to
propagate other similar flags such as hasSubLinks or hasRowSecurity.
Omitting to transfer hasRecursive is just cosmetic at the moment,
but omitting hasModifyingCTE is a live bug, since the executor
certainly looks at that.

The proposed test case only fails back to v10, but since the executor
examines hasModifyingCTE in 9.x as well, I suspect that a test case
could be devised that fails in older branches.  Given the nearness
of the release deadline, though, I'm not going to spend time looking
for a better test.

If a cross-partition UPDATE violates a constraint on the target partition,
and the columns in the new partition are in different physical order than
in the parent, the error message can reveal columns that the user does not
have SELECT permission on. A similar bug was fixed earlier in commit
804b6b6.

The cause of the bug is that the callers of the
ExecBuildSlotValueDescription() function got confused when constructing
the list of modified columns. If the tuple was routed from a parent, we
converted the tuple to the parent's format, but the list of modified
columns was grabbed directly from the child's RTE entry.

ExecUpdateLockMode() had a similar issue. That lead to confusion on which
columns are key columns, leading to wrong tuple lock being taken on tables
referenced by foreign keys, when a row is updated with INSERT ON CONFLICT
UPDATE. A new isolation test is added for that corner case.

With this patch, the ri_RangeTableIndex field is no longer set for
partitions that don't have an entry in the range table. Previously, it was
set to the RTE entry of the parent relation, but that was confusing.

NOTE: This modifies the ResultRelInfo struct, replacing the
ri_PartitionRoot field with ri_RootResultRelInfo. That's a bit risky to
backpatch, because it breaks any extensions accessing the field. The
change that ri_RangeTableIndex is not set for partitions could potentially
break extensions, too. The ResultRelInfos are visible to FDWs at least,
and this patch required small changes to postgres_fdw. Nevertheless, this
seem like the least bad option. I don't think these fields widely used in
extensions; I don't think there are FDWs out there that uses the FDW
"direct update" API, other than postgres_fdw. If there is, you will get a
compilation error, so hopefully it is caught quickly.

Backpatch to 11, where support for both cross-partition UPDATEs, and unique
indexes on partitioned tables, were added.

scanNSItemForColumn, expandNSItemAttrs, and ExpandSingleTable would
pass the wrong RTE to markVarForSelectPriv when dealing with a join
ParseNamespaceItem: they'd pass the join RTE, when what we need to
mark is the base table that the join column came from.  The end
result was to not fill the base table's selectedCols bitmap correctly,
resulting in an understatement of the set of columns that are read
by the query.  The executor would still insist on there being at
least one selectable column; but with a correctly crafted query,
a user having SELECT privilege on just one column of a table would
nonetheless be allowed to read all its columns.

To fix, make markRTEForSelectPriv fetch the correct RTE for itself,
ignoring the possibly-mismatched RTE passed by the caller.  Later,
we'll get rid of some now-unused RTE arguments, but that risks
API breaks so we won't do it in released branches.

This option controls if toast tables associated with a relation are
vacuumed or not when running a manual VACUUM.  It was already possible
to trigger a manual VACUUM on a toast relation without processing its
main relation, but a manual vacuum on a main relation always forced a
vacuum on its toast table.  This is useful in scenarios where the level
of bloat or transaction age of the main and toast relations differs a
lot.

This option is an extension of the existing VACOPT_SKIPTOAST that was
used by autovacuum to control if toast relations should be skipped or
not.  This internal flag is renamed to VACOPT_PROCESS_TOAST for
consistency with the new option.

A new option switch, called --no-process-toast, is added to vacuumdb.

…_locks.

This commit adds new column "waitstart" into pg_locks view. This column
reports the time when the server process started waiting for the lock
if the lock is not held. This information is useful, for example, when
examining the amount of time to wait on a lock by subtracting
"waitstart" in pg_locks from the current time, and identify the lock
that the processes are waiting for very long.

This feature uses the current time obtained for the deadlock timeout
timer as "waitstart" (i.e., the time when this process started waiting
for the lock). Since getting the current time newly can cause overhead,
we reuse the already-obtained time to avoid that overhead.

Note that "waitstart" is updated without holding the lock table's
partition lock, to avoid the overhead by additional lock acquisition.
This can cause "waitstart" in pg_locks to become NULL for a very short
period of time after the wait started even though "granted" is false.
This is OK in practice because we can assume that users are likely to
look at "waitstart" when waiting for the lock for a long time.

This reverts commit 3b733fc.

Per buildfarm members prion and rorqual.
The free space map has used a dedicated relation fork rather than shared
memory segments for over a decade.
Currently, we get the origin id from the name and then drop the origin by
taking ExclusiveLock on ReplicationOriginRelationId. So, two concurrent
sessions can get the id from the name at the same time and then when they
try to drop the origin, one of the sessions will get the either
"tuple concurrently deleted" or "cache lookup failed for replication
origin ..".

To prevent this race condition we do the entire operation under lock. This
obviates the need for replorigin_drop() API and we have removed it so if
any extension authors are using it they need to instead use
replorigin_drop_by_name. See it's usage in pg_replication_origin_drop().

Commit 2f2007f did this partially, but there were two remaining
warts.  checkcondition_gin handled some uncertain cases by setting
the out-of-band recheck flag, some by returning TS_MAYBE, and some
by doing both.  Meanwhile, TS_execute arbitrarily converted a
TS_MAYBE result to TS_YES.  Thus, if checkcondition_gin chose to
only return TS_MAYBE, the outcome would be TS_YES with no recheck
flag, potentially resulting in wrong query outputs.

The case where this'd happen is if there were GIN_MAYBE entries
in the indexscan results passed to gin_tsquery_[tri]consistent,
which so far as I can see would only happen if the tidbitmap used
to accumulate indexscan results grew large enough to become lossy.

I initially thought of fixing this by ensuring we always set the
recheck flag as well as returning TS_MAYBE in uncertain cases.
But that errs in the other direction, potentially forcing rechecks
of rows that provably match the query (since the recheck flag
remains set even if TS_execute later finds that the answer must be
TS_YES).  Instead, let's get rid of the out-of-band recheck flag
altogether and rely on returning TS_MAYBE.  This requires exporting
a version of TS_execute that will actually return the full ternary
result of the evaluation ... but we likely should have done that
to start with.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem practical to add a regression test case
that covers this: the amount of data needed to cause the GIN bitmap to
become lossy results in a longer runtime than I think we want to have
in the tests.  (I'm wondering about allowing smaller work_mem settings

the faulty commit came in.

An inconsistent set of debug-level messages was not using
errmsg_internal(), thus uselessly exposing the messages to translation

Several information schema views track dependencies between
functions/procedures and objects used by them.  These had not been
implemented so far because PostgreSQL doesn't track objects used in a
function body.  However, formally, these also show dependencies used
in parameter default expressions, which PostgreSQL does support and
track.  So for the sake of completeness, we might as well add these.
If dependency tracking for function bodies is ever implemented, these
views will automatically work correctly.

Push some hopefully-uncontroversial bits extracted from an upcoming
patch series, to remove non-relevant clutter from the main patches.

In compact(), return immediately after setting REG_ASSERT error;
continuing the loop would just lead to assertion failure below.
(Ask me how I know.)

In parseqatom(), remove assertion that moresubs() did its job.
When moresubs actually did its job, this is redundant with that
function's final assert; but when it failed on OOM, this is an
assertion crash.  We could avoid the crash by adding a NOERR()
check before the assertion, but it seems better to subtract code
than add it.  (Note that there's a NOERR exit a few lines further
down, and nothing else between here and there requires moresubs
to have succeeded.  So we don't really need an extra error exit.)
This is a live bug in assert-enabled builds, but given the very
low likelihood of OOM in moresub's tiny allocation, I don't think
it's worth back-patching.

On the other hand, it seems worthwhile to add an assertion that
our intended v->subs[subno] target is still null by the time we
are ready to insert into it, since there's a recursion in between.

In pg_regexec, ensure we fflush any debug output on the way out,
and try to make MDEBUG messages more uniform and helpful.  (In
particular, ensure that all of them are prefixed with the subre's
id number, so one can match up entry and exit reports.)

Add some test cases in test_regex to improve coverage of lookahead
and lookbehind constraints.  Adding these now is mainly to establish
that this is indeed the existing behavior.

A cross-partition update on a partitioned table is implemented as a
delete followed by an insert. With foreign partitions, this was however
causing issues, because the FDW and core may disagree on when to enable
batching.  postgres_fdw was only allowing batching for plain inserts
(CMD_INSERT) while core was trying to batch the insert component of the
cross-partition update.  Fix by restricting core to apply batching only
to plain CMD_INSERT queries.

It's possible to allow batching for cross-partition updates, but that
will require more extensive changes, so better to leave that for a
separate patch.

Discuss VACUUM's linear scan after discussion of tuple deletion by
VACUUM, but before discussion of page deletion by VACUUM.  This
progression is a lot more natural.

Also tweak the wording a little.  It seems unnecessary to talk about how
it worked prior to PostgreSQL 8.2.
Add another method to specify CRLs, hashed directory method, for both
server and client side.  This offers a means for server or libpq to
load only CRLs that are required to verify a certificate.  The CRL
directory is specifed by separate GUC variables or connection options
ssl_crl_dir and sslcrldir, alongside the existing ssl_crl_file and
sslcrl, so both methods can be used at the same time.

Commit 2c8dd05 added the atomic variable writtenUpto into
walreceiver's shared memory information. It's initialized only
when walreceiver started up but could be read via pg_stat_wal_receiver
view anytime, i.e., even before it's initialized. In the server built
with --disable-atomics and --disable-spinlocks, this uninitialized
atomic variable read could cause "invalid spinlock number: 0" error.

This commit changed writtenUpto so that it's initialized at
the postmaster startup, to avoid the uninitialized variable read
via pg_stat_wal_receiver and fix the error.

Also this commit moved the read of writtenUpto after the release
of spinlock protecting walreceiver's shared variables. This is
necessary to prevent new spinlock from being taken by atomic
variable read while holding another spinlock, and to shorten
the spinlock duration. This change leads writtenUpto not to be
consistent with the other walreceiver's shared variables protected
by a spinlock. But this is OK because writtenUpto should not be
used for data integrity checks.

Back-patch to v13 where commit 2c8dd05 introduced the bug.

While poking at the regex code, I happened to notice that the bug
squashed in commit afcc877 had a sibling: next() failed to return
a specific value associated with the '}' token for a "\{m,n\}"
quantifier when parsing in basic RE mode.  Again, this could result
in treating the quantifier as non-greedy, which it never should be in
basic mode.  For that to happen, the last character before "\}" that
sets "nextvalue" would have to set it to zero, or it'd have to have
accidentally been zero from the start.  The failure can be provoked
repeatably with, for example, a bound ending in digit "0".

Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.
Consolidate discussion of how VACUUM places pages in the FSM for
recycling by adding a new section that comes after discussion of page
deletion.  This structure reflects the fact that page recycling is
explicitly decoupled from page deletion in Lanin & Shasha's paper.  Page
recycling in nbtree is an implementation of what the paper calls "the
drain technique".

This decoupling is an important concept for nbtree VACUUM.  Searchers
have to detect and recover from concurrent page deletions, but they will
never have to reason about concurrent page recycling.  Recycling can
almost always be thought of as a low level garbage collection operation
that asynchronously frees the physical space that backs a logical tree
node.  Almost all code need only concern itself with logical tree nodes.
(Note that "logical tree node" is not currently a term of art in the
nbtree code -- this all works implicitly.)

This is preparation for an upcoming patch that teaches nbtree VACUUM to
remember the details of pages that it deletes on the fly, in local
memory.  This enables the same VACUUM operation to consider placing its
own deleted pages in the FSM later on, when it reaches the end of
btvacuumscan().
Update to snowball tag v2.1.0.  Major changes are new stemmers for

This commit fixes COMMIT AND CHAIN command so that it starts new transaction
immediately even if savepoints are defined within the transaction to commit.
Previously COMMIT AND CHAIN command did not in that case because
commit 280a408 forgot to make CommitTransactionCommand() handle
a transaction chaining when the transaction state was TBLOCK_SUBCOMMIT.

Also this commit adds the regression test for COMMIT AND CHAIN command
when savepoints are defined.

Back-patch to v12 where transaction chaining was added.

When ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK is enabled, psql releases a temporary savepoint
if it's idle in a valid transaction block after executing a query. But psql
doesn't do that after RELEASE or ROLLBACK is executed because a temporary
savepoint has already been destroyed in that case.

This commit changes psql's ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK so that it doesn't release
a temporary savepoint also when COMMIT AND CHAIN is executed. A temporary
savepoint doesn't need to be released in that case because
COMMIT AND CHAIN also destroys any savepoints defined within the transaction
to commit. Otherwise psql tries to release the savepoint that
COMMIT AND CHAIN has already destroyed and cause an error
"ERROR:  savepoint "pg_psql_temporary_savepoint" does not exist".

Back-patch to v12 where transaction chaining was added.
