This commit implements the automatic conversion of 'x IN (VALUES ...)' into
ScalarArrayOpExpr. That simplifies the query tree, eliminating the appearance
of an unnecessary join.
Since VALUES describes a relational table, and the value of such a list is
a table row, the optimizer will likely face an underestimation problem due to
the inability to estimate cardinality through MCV statistics. The cardinality
evaluation mechanism can work with the array inclusion check operation.
If the array is small enough (< 100 elements), it will perform a statistical
evaluation element by element.
We perform the transformation in the convert_ANY_sublink_to_join() if VALUES
RTE is proper and the transformation is convertible. The conversion is only
possible for operations on scalar values, not rows. Also, we currently
support the transformation only when it ends up with a constant array.
Otherwise, the evaluation of non-hashed SAOP might be slower than the
corresponding Hash Join with VALUES.

This commit extracts the code to generate ScalarArrayOpExpr on top of the list
of expressions from match_orclause_to_indexcol() into a separate function
make_SAOP_expr(). This function was extracted to be used in optimization for
conversion of 'x IN (VALUES ...)' to 'x = ANY ...'. make_SAOP_expr() is
placed in clauses.c file as only two additional headers were needed there
compared with other places.

Fix for commit 9ef1851685b: We have to skip indexes where sortopfamily
is NULL. This takes the place of the previous btree check. Detected
by valgrind on the buildfarm.
Commit 28d3c2ddcf introduced an assertion that if the memorized
downlink location in the insertion stack isn't valid, the parent's
LSN should've changed too. Turns out that was too strict. In
gistFindCorrectParent(), if we walk right, we update the parent's
block number and clear its memorized 'downlinkoffnum'. That triggered
the assertion on next call to gistFindCorrectParent(), if the parent
needed to be split too. Relax the assertion, so that it's OK if
downlinkOffnum is InvalidOffsetNumber.
Backpatch to v13-, all supported versions. The assertion was added in
commit 28d3c2ddcf in v12.

Previously, "COPY table TO" command worked only with plain tables and

"COPY (query) TO" command had to be used, instead.
This commit extends "COPY table TO" to support populated materialized
views directly, improving usability and performance, as "COPY table TO"
is generally faster than "COPY (query) TO". Note that copying from
unpopulated materialized views will still result in an error.

Derived clauses are stored in ec_derives, a List of RestrictInfos.
These clauses are later looked up by matching the left and right
EquivalenceMembers along with the clause's parent EC.
This linear search becomes expensive in queries with many joins or
partitions, where ec_derives may contain thousands of entries. In
particular, create_join_clause() can spend significant time scanning
this list.
To improve performance, introduce a hash table (ec_derives_hash) that
is built when the list reaches 32 entries -- the same threshold used
for join_rel_hash. The original list is retained alongside the hash
table to support EC merging and serialization
(_outEquivalenceClass()).
Each clause is stored in the hash table using a canonicalized key: the
EquivalenceMember with the lower memory address is placed in the key
before the one with the higher memory address. This avoids storing or
searching for both permutations of the same clause. For clauses
involving a constant EM, the key places NULL in the first slot and the
non-constant EM in the second.
The hash table is initialized using list_length(ec_derives_list) as
the size hint. simplehash internally adjusts this to the next power of
two after dividing by the fillfactor, so this typically results in at
least 64 buckets near the threshold -- avoiding immediate resizing
while adapting to the actual number of entries.
The lookup logic for derived clauses is now centralized in
ec_search_derived_clause_for_ems(), which consults the hash table when
available and falls back to the list otherwise.
The new ec_clear_derived_clauses() always frees ec_derives_list, even
though some of the original code paths that cleared the old
ec_derives field did not. This ensures consistent cleanup and avoids
leaking memory when large lists are discarded.
An assertion originally placed in find_derived_clause_for_ec_member()
is moved into ec_search_derived_clause_for_ems() so that it is
enforced consistently, regardless of whether the hash table or list is
used for lookup.
This design incorporates suggestions by David Rowley, who proposed
both the key canonicalization and the initial sizing approach to
balance memory usage and CPU efficiency.

The addition of SpecialCasing.txt by commit 286a365b9c2 was not added
to the make target dependencies, so the invoked script would fail
because the required file wasn't downloaded first. (The meson version
appears to work correctly.)
The issue is that the transactions prepared before two-phase decoding is
enabled can fail to replicate to the subscriber after being committed on a
promoted standby following a failover. This is because the two_phase_at
field of a slot, which tracks the LSN from which two-phase decoding
starts, is not synchronized to standby servers. Without two_phase_at, the
logical decoding might incorrectly identify prepared transaction as
already replicated to the subscriber after promotion of standby server,
causing them to be skipped.
To address the issue on HEAD, the two_phase_at field of the slot is
exposed by the pg_replication_slots view and allows the slot
synchronization to copy this value to the corresponding synced slot on the
standby server.
This bug is likely to occur if the user toggles the two_phase option to
true after initial slot creation. Given that altering the two_phase option
of a replication slot is not allowed in PostgreSQL 17, this bug is less
likely to occur. We can't change the view/function definition in
backbranch so we can't push the same fix but we are brainstorming an
appropriate solution for PG17.

compareentry() is declared to work on WordEntryIN structs, but
tsvectorrecv() is using it in two places to work on WordEntry

field of WordEntryIN. But on machines with 8-byte pointers,
WordEntryIN will have a larger alignment spec than WordEntry,
and it's at least theoretically possible that the compiler
could generate code that depends on the larger alignment.
Given the lack of field reports, this may be just a hypothetical bug
that upsets nothing except sanitizer tools. Or it may be real on
certain hardware but nobody's tried to use tsvectorrecv() on such

The optimization does not take the removal of TIDs by a concurrent vacuum into
account. The concurrent vacuum can remove dead TIDs and make pages ALL_VISIBLE
while those dead TIDs are referenced in the bitmap. This can lead to a
skip_fetch scan returning too many tuples.
It likely would be possible to implement this optimization safely, but we
don't have the necessary infrastructure in place. Nor is it clear that it's
worth building that infrastructure, given how limited the skip_fetch
optimization is.
In the backbranches we just disable the optimization by always passing
need_tuples=true to table_beginscan_bm(). We can't perform API/ABI changes in
the backbranches and we want to make the change as minimal as possible.

In the historical implementation of SQL functions (if they don't get
inlined), we built plans for all the contained queries at first call
within an outer query, and then re-used those plans for the duration
of the outer query, and then forgot everything. This was not ideal,
not least because the plans could not be customized to specific values
of the function's parameters. Our plancache infrastructure seems
mature enough to be used here. That will solve both the problem with
not being able to build custom plans and the problem with not being
able to share work across successive outer queries.
Aside from those performance concerns, this change fixes a
longstanding bugaboo with SQL functions: you could not write DDL that
would affect later statements in the same function. That's mostly
still true with new-style SQL functions, since the results of parse
analysis are baked into the stored query trees (and protected by
dependency records). But for old-style SQL functions, it will now
work much as it does with PL/pgSQL functions, because we delay parse
analysis and planning of each query until we're ready to run it.
Some edge cases that require replanning are now handled better too;
see for example the new rowsecurity test, where we now detect an RLS
context change that was previously missed.
One other edge-case change that might be worthy of a release note
is that we now insist that a SQL function's result be generated
by the physically-last query within it. Previously, if the last
original query was deleted by a DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule, we'd be
willing to take the result from the preceding query instead.
This behavior was undocumented except in source-code comments,
and it seems hard to believe that anyone's relying on it.
Along the way to this feature, we needed a few infrastructure changes:
* The plancache can now take either a raw parse tree or an
analyzed-but-not-rewritten Query as the starting point for a
CachedPlanSource. If given a Query, it is caller's responsibility
that nothing will happen to invalidate that form of the query.
We use this for new-style SQL functions, where what's in pg_proc is
serialized Query(s) and we trust the dependency mechanism to disallow
DDL that would break those.
* The plancache now offers a way to invoke a post-rewrite callback
to examine/modify the rewritten parse tree when it is rebuilding
the parse trees after a cache invalidation. We need this because
SQL functions sometimes adjust the parse tree to make its output
exactly match the declared result type; if the plan gets rebuilt,
that has to be re-done.
* There is a new backend module utils/cache/funccache.c that
abstracts the idea of caching data about a specific function
usage (a particular function and set of input data types).
The code in it is moved almost verbatim from PL/pgSQL, which
has done that for a long time. We use that logic now for
SQL-language functions too, and maybe other PLs will have use
for it in the future.

For b-tree, the sortsupport routine doesn't give any new
functionality, but speeds up sorting a tiny bit. The difference is not
very significant, about 2% in cursory testing on my laptop, because
the range type comparison function has quite a lot of overhead from
detoasting. In any case, since we have the function for GiST anyway,
we might as well register it for the btree opfamily too.

Various places allocated shared memory by first allocating a small chunk
using ShmemInitStruct(), followed by ShmemAlloc() calls to allocate more
memory. Unfortunately, ShmemAlloc() does not update ShmemIndex, so this
affected pg_shmem_allocations - it only shown the initial chunk.
This commit modifies the following allocations, to allocate everything
as a single chunk, and then split it internally.
- PredXactList
- RWConflictPool
- PGPROC structures
- Fast-Path Lock Array
The fast-path lock array is allocated separately, not as a part of the
PGPROC structures allocation.

pg_shmem_allocations tracks the memory allocated by ShmemInitStruct(),
but for shared hash tables that covered only the header and hash
directory. The remaining parts (segments and buckets) were allocated
later using ShmemAlloc(), which does not update the shmem accounting.
Thus, these allocations were not shown in pg_shmem_allocations.
This commit improves the situation by allocating all the hash table
parts at once, using a single ShmemInitStruct() call. This way the
ShmemIndex entries (and thus pg_shmem_allocations) better reflect the
proper size of the hash table.
This affects allocations for private (non-shared) hash tables too, as
the hash_create() code is shared. For non-shared tables this however
makes no practical difference.
This changes the alignment a bit. ShmemAlloc() aligns the chunks using
CACHELINEALIGN(), which means some parts (header, directory, segments)
were aligned this way. Allocating all parts as a single chunk removes
this (implicit) alignment. We've considered adding explicit alignment,
but we've decided not to - it seems to be merely a coincidence due to
using the ShmemAlloc() API, not due to necessity.
