The current implementation doesn't support it correctly, leading to
mysterious warnings and some worse problems. Have the combination throw

This is intended as a temporary stopgap until we can implement it in a

Since the retain_dead_tuples feature uses a single cluster-wide
replication slot across all subscriptions, adding a new subscription on a
database with an older active transaction can require
conflict_detection_slot.xmin to move backward to avoid missing dead tuples
needed for update_deleted conflict detection.
Previously, if a newly created subscription had an older active
transaction than the slot's current xmin, the slot update occurred during
worker apply, leading to an assertion failure.
Fix this by having the launcher track the set of databases with active
tuple-retaining subscriptions. When a database joins this set (either via
a new subscription or when retention restarts), the launcher resets the
slot's xmin to the cluster-wide safe decoding horizon before starting any
workers. Because this horizon accounts for all active transactions across
the entire cluster, it serves as a safe seed without requiring retroactive
backward movement by individual apply workers.
In passing, update the retain_dead_tuples documentation to clarify two
operational boundary cases:
(a) Conflict data continues to accumulate even when a subscription is
disabled or its apply worker is stopped.
(b) track_commit_timestamp must be enabled for conflict detection to
function properly.

Backpatch-through: 19, where it was introduced
When analyzing a foreign table pointing to a partitioned or inherited
table on the remote server, this method just imported relpages and
reltuples for the parent table from the remote pg_class, causing a
discrepancy or an error in results compared to the sampling method.
* In the partitioning case, while the sampling method sets relpages=0,
this method set relpages=-1. (For reltuples, the results of both
methods match.)
* In the inheritance case, while the sampling method sets
reltuples=(# of rows in the parent and child tables), this method set
reltuples=(# of rows in the parent table). (For relpages, the results
of both methods match.)
As relpages and reltuples are used for costing foreign paths, these
would lead to incorrect plans or plan changes depending on the method.
To fix, do the following:
* For the partitioning case, modify postgres_fdw to set relpages=0 to
match the sampling method.
* For the inheritance case, we could also modify it to set the correct
reltuples value by fetching reltuples for the child tables as well,
but 1) the change isn't small, and 2) table inheritance hasn't been
used that much these days, so fix by disabling this method.
While at it, adjust comments and docs slightly.

The VALUES reference page said that an AS clause was required when
VALUES is used in a FROM clause. This was imprecise because AS is
optional when specifying an alias.
In v14 and v15, a table alias is still required in this case, so state
that explicitly instead. In v16 and later, commit bcedd8f5fc made table
aliases for subqueries in FROM clauses optional, so state that the
table alias is optional there. In all branches, continue to recommend
explicit column aliases as good practice.

If SHMEM_CALLBACKS_ALLOW_AFTER_STARTUP is used to allocate shared
memory after startup, but the initialization fails half-way through,
the shmem area is left in an indeterminate state. Furthermore, if
multiple shmem areas are registered in one RegisterShmemCallbacks()
call, some might be allocated while others are not.
This commit adds an explicit 'initialized' flag to each shmem area.
We still leave behind an uninitialized area on error, but at least
they are now clearly marked, and you get a slightly nicer error
message if you try to re-register them. It'd be nice to clean up more
thoroughly and support actually retrying the allocations, but in
practice, the most likely reason for a shmem allocation or
initialization to fail is that you are out of shared memory and
retrying wouldn't help with that.
This isn't exactly a new problem, the old ShmemInitStruct() interface
had similar issues if the initialization code failed, or if you
allocated multiple structs and some allocations failed. It was just
left to the calling code to deal with it.

pg_control_checkpoint() still handle checkPointCopy.nextMultiOffset as
xid type and declared next_multi_offset column as xid. Since xid is 32

pg_controldata printed the full value of the same field.

Commit 42473b3b3 implemented SupportRequestSimplifyAggref, but failed
to think about what infrastructure would be required for an extension
to use that: there is no SQL-level mechanism for attaching a planner
support function to an aggregate. That seems pretty critical for a
feature that's primarily intended to be used by extensions.
To fix, add a SUPPORT clause to CREATE AGGREGATE, and teach pg_dump
(and thereby pg_upgrade) about dumping this aggregate property.
We don't need to touch ALTER AGGREGATE, because it's already the case
that you're supposed to use CREATE OR REPLACE AGGREGATE if you want
to alter any aggregate-specific properties set by CREATE AGGREGATE.
(Maybe at some point we'll think that that policy ought to change,
but I don't think this one feature moves the needle enough.)

Enabling data checksums in a running cluster changes the state to "on"
before the checkpoint which flushes the pages the worker rewrote. A
base backup which started before that transition absorbs the barrier
mid-run and starts verifying pages whose on-disk copies legitimately
lack checksums, and whose LSNs predate the backup start, so the LSN
check does not skip them either. The backup fails with bogus
corruption warnings. The same applies to checksums being disabled and
re-enabled while the backup runs: hint bits set while checksums were
off reach disk without a checksum update and without moving the page
LSN, tripping verification once the re-enabling completes.
To fix, verify checksums only while they have been continuously
enabled since the checkpoint the backup started from: track the
location of the last XLOG2_CHECKSUMS record inserted or replayed, and
verify only when the state is "on" and the last change predates the
backup start. The starting checkpoint then guarantees that every page
flushed before it has a checksum written, and any later change
disables verification for the rest of the backup.
A standby loses the tracked location when restarting, while pg_control
already carries the new state, so it could reach consistency below the
record and serve base backups with the location unknown. To prevent
this, replaying XLOG2_CHECKSUMS advances minRecoveryPoint to the
record, like XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE does.
The tests hold the enabling between the state change and its final
checkpoint with injection points, straddling it with backups on the
primary and across a standby crash-restart.

Previously, wal_compression=on was an alias for pglz, with the
assumption that users could make an informed choice to pick a better
option. But in practice, users rarely got to that second step.
Many users don't want to be choosing algorithms - they just want WAL
compression, and expect that to work well. The configuration parameter
is set by administrators, who do not control the workload, and so are
not in a position to evaluate the options anyway. Some users may not
even realize there are other options, as previously "on" was the only
choice available.
This change maps "on" to non-pglz options, supported by the build. Both
lz4 and zstd are faster, with a comparable (or better) compression
ratio. We prefer zstd over lz4 - per our testing the better compression
ratio pays for the lower (de)compression speed.
Like for TOAST compression, the value depends on algorithms supported by
the PostgreSQL build, with lz4 and zstd being optional. But most builds
will have at least one of these external libraries. If neither zstd or
lz4 is supported, we fallback to pglz.
This only affects what "on" means. Users can still make the informed
choice and explicitly select a compression algorithm if it works better
for their system. The default value for "wal_compression" remains "off."

The previous commit raises an ERROR during PGP operations if OpenSSL
does not support the cipher in use. However, any existing messages
created with faulty encryption will no longer be accessible via
pgp_[sym|pub]_decrypt().
To help users out of this situation, add a new ignore-cipher-failure
option which reverts to the broken behavior during decryption only. A
faulty encryption wrapper, created by an OpenSSL configuration that does
not support the cipher, can then be stripped back off by that same
OpenSSL in order to safely reencrypt it. (Note that when OpenSSL does
support the cipher, corrupted messages will not be decrypted regardless
of the ignore-cipher-failure setting; this is unchanged.)
The new tests add a corrupted Blowfish message for both public- and
symmetric-key decryption, resulting in the following test matrix:
- Blowfish supported, default behavior: fails to decrypt
- Blowfish supported, ignore-cipher-failure: fails to decrypt
- Blowfish unsupported, default behavior: fails to load cipher
- Blowfish unsupported, ignore-cipher-failure: strips faulty encryption
The previous commit's change to the pubkey tests is expanded similarly:
correctly encrypted messages cannot be decrypted by an OpenSSL that does
not support the cipher, regardless of the option's setting, though the
failure mode will change.

PGP encryption was using px_cipher_encrypt without checking if any
error was returned. When OpenSSL is running in FIPS mode, or when
the legacy provider hasn't been loaded, not all ciphers which are
supported by the PGP code are available and fail the init step in
px_cipher_encrypt. Since the PGP encryption failed to notice this
it XORed the non-encrypted block with the plaintext, effectively
disabling the encryption.
This was found due to a report of PGP encryption not respecting
the pgcrypto.builtin_crypto_enabled flag and allowing Blowfish
and DES. This however turned out to be a false positive, since
the PGP code only use ciphers from OpenSSL and not the built in
ciphers.

REPLICATION users were not previously subject to restrictions on output
plugin paths, so they were able to bypass LOAD-time protections during
logical decoding. Unfortunately, adding the standard LOAD restrictions
now would retroactively require all third-party output plugins to be
installed under the $libdir/plugins directory. This would prevent the
use of dynamic_library_path, introduce a wire incompatibility for
clients, and require all plugin authors to check that their libraries
are safe for use by any unprivileged user; we want to avoid that.
Instead, introduce an output_plugin_libraries GUC so that DBAs can
specify the output plugins that are trusted for use in logical decoding.
For simplicity, superusers are subject to the restriction as well
(though they're free to modify the GUC at will during a session, so no
power is actually lost).
The default setting is 'pgoutput, test_decoding'. If other third-party
plugins are in use, DBAs will need to modify this parameter after they
update. Some pointers have been added to the documentation to assist
with this.

The SELECT privilege can be granted on a property graph, and its
privileges can be examined with psql's \dp command, but property
graphs were missing from both summary tables in the "Privileges"
section: the applicable object types for SELECT in the privilege
abbreviations table, and the per-object-type row in the summary of
access privileges table. Add the missing entries so the tables match
the actual behavior described for the SELECT privilege and in GRANT.
While at it, also add a test for \dp on a property graph.

We do not allow a DROP SERVER ... CASCADE to implicitly drop a
subscription, because it's in a shared catalog and dropping a
subscription has side effects. Instead we throw an error and the user
must drop the subscription explicitly. Document this behavior and add
a HINT to the error message.
Generalize AcquireDeletionLock()/ReleaseDeletionLock() to use shared
object locks for all shared catalogs, which includes AuthMemRelationId
and now SubscriptionRelationId.
Move error message after AcquireDeletionLock() to avoid an unnecessary
error if there's a concurrent DROP SUBSCRIPTION.
Addresses finding 10 & 15 in report from linked discussion.

The glossary entry for data checksums workers incorrectly stated that
they were auxiliary processes, but they are implemented as background
workers. Fix, and while there, simplify the entry by combining the
worker and launcher into a single glossary term. Backpatch down to
v19 where online checksums were introduced.

Since 999dec9ec6, pg_stat_io can show read time with zero reads
for an IO Context: a foreign IO is counted as a read only in the
initiating backend, while other waiters record only the wait time. That
violates pgstat_bktype_io_stats_valid(). Relax the check to allow time
without a matching operation count, since we want to count read wait
time even in backends that did not initiate the read. This also enables
future accounting of waits on IO resources (e.g., AIO handles) in
backends that didn't start the IO.
