351d7e2441 Keep all_frozen updated in heap_page_prune_and_freeze
Previously, we relied on all_visible and all_frozen being used together
to ensure that all_frozen was correct, but it is better to keep both
fields updated.

Future changes will separate their usage, so we should not depend on
all_visible for the validity of all_frozen.

1937ed7062 Refactor heap_page_prune_and_freeze() parameters into a struct
heap_page_prune_and_freeze() had accumulated an unwieldy number of input
parameters and upcoming work to handle VM updates in this function will
add even more.

Introduce a new PruneFreezeParams struct to group the function’s input

599336c64f Handle EPERM in pg_numa_init
When running in Docker, the container may not have privileges needed by
get_mempolicy(). This is called by numa_available() in libnuma, but
versions prior to 2.0.19 did not expect that. The numa_available() call
seemingly succeeds, but then we get unexpected failures when trying to
query status of pages:

  postgres =# select * from pg_shmem_allocations_numa;
  ERROR:  XX000: failed NUMA pages inquiry status: Operation not
          permitted
  LOCATION:  pg_get_shmem_allocations_numa, shmem.c:691

The best solution is to call get_mempolicy() first, and proceed to
numa_available() only when it does not fail with EPERM. Otherwise we'd
need to treat older libnuma versions as insufficient, which seems a bit
too harsh, as this only affects containerized systems.

Fix by me, based on suggestions by Christoph. Backpatch to 18, where the
NUMA functions were introduced.

b5623cc5e4 Remove obsolete cast
The upstream timezone code uses a bool variable as an array subscript.
Back when PostgreSQL's bool was char, this would have caused a warning
from gcc -Wchar-subscripts, which is included in -Wall.  But this has
been obsolete since probably commit d26a810ebf, but certainly since
bool is now the C standard bool.  So we can remove this deviation from
the upstream code, to make future code merges simpler.

6b46669883 Drop support for MSVCRT's float formatting quirk.
Commit f1885386 added code to remove an unnecessary leading zero from
the exponent in a float formatted by the system snprintf().  The C
standard doesn't allow unnecessary digits beyond two, and the tests pass
without this on Windows' modern UCRT (required since commit 1758d424).

7ab9b34614 Drop support for MSVCRT's %I64 format strings.
MSVCRT predated C99 and invented non-standard placeholders for 64-bit
numbers, and then later used them in standard macros when C99
<inttypes.h> arrived.  The macros just use %lld etc when building with
UCRT, so there should be no way for our interposed sprintf.c code to
receive the pre-standard kind these days.  Time to drop the code that
parses them.

That code was in fact already dead when commit 962da900 landed, as we'd
disclaimed MSVCRT support a couple of weeks earlier in commit 1758d424,
but patch development overlapped and the history of these macros hadn't
been investigated.

057012b205 Speed up eqjoinsel() with lots of MCV entries.
If both sides of the operator have most-common-value statistics,
eqjoinsel wants to check which MCVs have matches on the other side.
Formerly it did this with a dumb compare-all-the-entries loop,
which had O(N^2) behavior for long MCV lists.  When that code was
written, twenty-plus years ago, that seemed tolerable; but nowadays
people frequently use much larger statistics targets, so that the
O(N^2) behavior can hurt quite a bit.

To add insult to injury, when asked for semijoin semantics, the
entire comparison loop was done over, even though we frequently
know that it will yield exactly the same results.

To improve matters, switch to using a hash table to perform the
matching.  Testing suggests that depending on the data type, we may
need up to about 100 MCVs on each side to amortize the extra costs
of setting up the hash table and performing hash-value computations;
so continue to use the old looping method when there are fewer MCVs
than that.

Also, refactor so that we don't repeat the matching work unless
we really need to, which occurs only in the uncommon case where
eqjoinsel_semi decides to truncate the set of inner MCVs it
considers.  The refactoring also got rid of the need to use the
presented operator's commutator.  Real-world operators that are
using eqjoinsel should pretty much always have commutators, but
at the very least this saves a few syscache lookups.

35b5c62c3a Don't allow CTEs to determine semantic levels of aggregates.
The fix for bug #19055 (commit b0cc0a71e) allowed CTE references in
sub-selects within aggregate functions to affect the semantic levels
assigned to such aggregates.  It turns out this broke some related
cases, leading to assertion failures or strange planner errors such
as "unexpected outer reference in CTE query".  After experimenting
with some alternative rules for assigning the semantic level in
such cases, we've come to the conclusion that changing the level
is more likely to break things than be helpful.

Therefore, this patch undoes what b0cc0a71e changed, and instead
installs logic to throw an error if there is any reference to a
CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would
assign to the aggregate based on its contained Var and Aggref nodes.
(The SQL standard disallows sub-selects within aggregate functions,
so it can't reach the troublesome case and hence has no rule for
what to do.)

Perhaps someone will come along with a legitimate query that this
logic rejects, and if so probably the example will help us craft
a level-adjustment rule that works better than what b0cc0a71e did.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, because the previous
logic had been there for a very long time before bug #19055 without
complaints, and that bug report sure looks to have originated from
fuzzing not from real usage.

Like b0cc0a71e, back-patch to all supported branches, though
sadly that no longer includes v13.

ed931377ab Clean up match_orclause_to_indexcol().
Remove bogus stripping of RelabelTypes: that can result in building
an output SAOP tree with incorrect exposed exprType for the operands,
which might confuse polymorphic operators.  Moreover it demonstrably
prevents folding some OR-trees to SAOPs when the RHS expressions
have different base types that were coerced to the same type by
RelabelTypes.

Reduce prohibition on type_is_rowtype to just disallow type RECORD.
We need that because otherwise we would happily fold multiple RECORD
Consts into a RECORDARRAY Const even if they aren't the same record
type.  (We could allow that perhaps, if we checked that they all have
the same typmod, but the case doesn't seem worth that much effort.)
However, there is no reason at all to disallow the transformation
for named composite types, nor domains over them: as long as we can
find a suitable array type we're good.

Remove some assertions that seem rather out of place (it's not
this code's duty to verify that the RestrictInfo structure is
sane).  Rewrite some comments.

The issues with RelabelType stripping seem severe enough to
back-patch this into v18 where the code was introduced.

e76defbcf0 Rework output format of pg_dependencies
The existing format of pg_dependencies uses a single-object JSON
structure, with each key value embedding all the knowledge about the
set attributes tracked, like:
{"1 => 5": 1.000000, "5 => 1": 0.423130}

While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object, particularly when
tracking multiple attributes.

The new output format introduced in this commit is a JSON array of
objects, with:
- A key named "degree", with a float value.
- A key named "attributes", with an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "dependency", with an attribute number.

The values use the same underlying type as previously when printed, with
a new output format that shows now as follows:
[{"degree": 1.000000, "attributes": [1], "dependency": 5},
 {"degree": 0.423130, "attributes": [5], "dependency": 1}]

This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.

This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra.  The key names are
defined in the header introduced by 1f927cce44, to ease the
integration of frontend-specific changes that are still under
discussion.  (Again a personal note: if anybody comes up with better
name for the keys, of course feel free.)

The bulk of the changes come from the regression tests, where
jsonb_pretty() is now used to make the outputs generated easier to
parse.

1f927cce44 Rework output format of pg_ndistinct
The existing format of pg_ndistinct uses a single-object JSON structure
where each key is itself a comma-separated list of attnums, like:
{"3, 4": 11, "3, 6": 11, "4, 6": 11, "3, 4, 6": 11}

While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object.

The new output format introduced in this commit is an array of objects,
with:
- A key named "attributes", that contains an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "ndistinct", represented as an integer.

The values use the same underlying type as previously when printed, with
a new output format that shows now as follows:
[{"ndistinct": 11, "attributes": [3,4]},
 {"ndistinct": 11, "attributes": [3,6]},
 {"ndistinct": 11, "attributes": [4,6]},
 {"ndistinct": 11, "attributes": [3,4,6]}]

This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as

This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra.  The key names are

note: I am not specifically wedded to these key names, but if there are
better name suggestions for this release, feel free.)

32b236644d Define PS_USE_CLOBBER_ARGV on GNU/Hurd.
Until d2ea2d310d, the PS_USE_PS_STRINGS
option was used on the GNU/Hurd. As this option got removed and
PS_USE_CLOBBER_ARGV appears to work fine nowadays on the Hurd, define
this one to re-enable process title changes on this platform.

In the 14 and 15 branches, the existing test for __hurd__ (added 25
years ago by commit 209aa77d, removed in 16 by the above commit) is left
unchanged for now as it was activating slightly different code paths and
would need investigation by a Hurd user.

586d63214e Adjust MemSet macro to use size_t rather than long
Likewise for MemSetAligned.

"long" wasn't the most suitable type for these macros as with MSVC in
64-bit builds, sizeof(long) == 4, which is narrower than the processor's
word size, therefore these macros had to perform twice as many loops as
they otherwise might.

"long" is 32 bits on Windows 64-bit.  Switch to a datatype that's 64-bit
on all platforms.  While we're there, use an unsigned type as these
fields count things that have occurred, of which it's not possible to
have negative numbers of.

This new test, added in 009_log_temp_files, checks that the temporary
files created by a WITH HOLD cursor are dropped at the end of the
transaction where the transaction has been created.

The portal's executor is shutdown in PersistHoldablePortal(), after for
example some forced detoast, so as the cursor data can be accessed
without requiring a snapshot.

1b92fe7bb9 Fix Assert failure in EXPLAIN ANALYZE MERGE with a concurrent update.
When instrumenting a MERGE command containing both WHEN NOT MATCHED BY
SOURCE and WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET actions using EXPLAIN ANALYZE, a
concurrent update of the target relation could lead to an Assert
failure in show_modifytable_info(). In a non-assert build, this would
lead to an incorrect value for "skipped" tuples in the EXPLAIN output,
rather than a crash.

This could happen if the concurrent update caused a matched row to no
longer match, in which case ExecMerge() treats the single originally
matched row as a pair of not matched rows, and potentially executes 2
not-matched actions for the single source row. This could then lead to
a state where the number of rows processed by the ModifyTable node
exceeds the number of rows produced by its source node, causing
"skipped_path" in show_modifytable_info() to be negative, triggering
the Assert.

Fix this in ExecMergeMatched() by incrementing the instrumentation
tuple count on the source node whenever a concurrent update of this
kind is detected, if both kinds of merge actions exist, so that the
number of source rows matches the number of actions potentially
executed, and the "skipped" tuple count is correct.

Back-patch to v17, where support for WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
actions was introduced.

ede6acef49 Fix WaitLSNWakeup() fast-path check for InvalidXLogRecPtr
WaitLSNWakeup() incorrectly returned early when called with
InvalidXLogRecPtr (meaning "wake all waiters"), because the fast-path
check compared minWaitedLSN > 0 without validating currentLSN first.
This caused WAIT FOR LSN commands to wait indefinitely during standby
promotion until random signals woke them.

Add an XLogRecPtrIsValid() check before the comparison so that
InvalidXLogRecPtr bypasses the fast-path and wakes all waiters immediately.

7506bdbbf4 Add note about CreateStatistics()'s selective use of check_rights.
Commit 5e4fcbe531 added a check_rights parameter to this function
for use by ALTER TABLE commands that re-create statistics objects.
However, we intentionally ignore check_rights when verifying
relation ownership because this function's lookup could return a
different answer than the caller's.  This commit adds a note to
this effect so that we remember it down the road.
