1b5bbe4bcc Fix EvalPlanQualStart to handle partitioned result rels correctly.
The es_root_result_relations array needs to be shallow-copied in the
same way as the main es_result_relations array, else EPQ rechecks on
partitioned result relations fail, as seen in bug #15677 from
Norbert Benkocs.

67999b3547 Clean up side-effects of commits ab5fcf2b0 et al.
Before those commits, partitioning-related code in the executor could
assume that ModifyTableState.resultRelInfo[] contains only leaf partitions.
However, now a fully-pruned update results in a dummy ModifyTable that
references the root partitioned table, and that breaks some stuff.

In v11, this led to an assertion or core dump in the tuple routing code.
Fix by disabling tuple routing, since we don't need that anyway.
(I chose to do that in HEAD as well for safety, even though the problem
doesn't manifest in HEAD as it stands.)

In v10, this confused ExecInitModifyTable's decision about whether it
needed to close the root table.  But we can get rid of that altogether
by being smarter about where to find the root table.

Note that since the referenced commits haven't shipped yet, this
isn't fixing any bug the field has seen.

8541304d5c Handle USE_MODULE_DB for all tests able to use an installed postmaster.
When $(MODULES) and $(MODULE_big) are empty, derive the database name
from the first element of $(REGRESS) instead of using a constant string.
When deriving the database name from $(MODULES), use its first element
instead of the entire list; the earlier approach would fail if any
multi-module directory had $(REGRESS) tests.  Treat isolation suites and
src/pl correspondingly.  Under USE_MODULE_DB=1, installcheck-world and
check-world no longer reuse any database name in a given postmaster.
Buildfarm members axolotl, mandrill and frogfish saw spurious "is being
accessed by other users" failures that would not have happened without
database name reuse.  (The CountOtherDBBackends() 5s deadline expired
during DROP DATABASE; a backend for an earlier test suite had used the
same database name and had not yet exited.)  Back-patch to 9.4 (all

7c414cdc39 Consistently test for in-use shared memory.
postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in
postmaster.pid, exiting if that segment matches the current data
directory and has an attached process.  When the postmaster.pid file was
missing, a starting postmaster used weaker checks.  Change to use the
same checks in both scenarios.  This increases the chance of a startup
failure, in lieu of data corruption, if the DBA does "kill -9 `head -n1
postmaster.pid` && rm postmaster.pid && pg_ctl -w start".  A postmaster
will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data directories.
That's good for production, but it's bad for integration tests that
crash a postmaster and immediately delete its data directory.  Such a
test now leaks a segment indefinitely.  No "make check-world" test does
that.  win32_shmem.c already avoided all these problems.  In 9.6 and
later, enhance PostgresNode to facilitate testing.  Back-patch to 9.4
(all supported versions).

5601f9fb97 Track unowned relations in doubly-linked list
Relations dropped in a single transaction are tracked in a list of
unowned relations.  With large number of dropped relations this resulted
in poor performance at the end of a transaction, when the relations are
removed from the singly linked list one by one.

Commit b4166911 attempted to address this issue (particularly when it
happens during recovery) by removing the relations in a reverse order,
resulting in O(1) lookups in the list of unowned relations.  This did
not work reliably, though, and it was possible to trigger the O(N^2)
behavior in various ways.

Instead of trying to remove the relations in a specific order with
respect to the linked list, which seems rather fragile, switch to a
regular doubly linked.  That allows us to remove relations cheaply no
matter where in the list they are.

As b4166911 was a bugfix, backpatched to all supported versions, do the
same thing here.

754ffcd420 Accept XML documents when xmloption = content, as required by SQL:2006+.
Previously we were using the SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow
this, but that creates a serious dump/restore gotcha: there is no
setting of xmloption that will allow all valid XML data.  Hence,
switch to the 2006 definition.

Since libxml doesn't accept <!DOCTYPE> directives in the mode we
use for CONTENT parsing, the implementation is to detect <!DOCTYPE>
in the input and switch to DOCUMENT parsing mode.  This should not
cost much, because <!DOCTYPE> should be close to the front of the
input if it's there at all.  It's possible that this causes the
error messages for malformed input to be slightly different than
they were before, if said input includes <!DOCTYPE>; but that does
not seem like a big problem.

In passing, buy back a few cycles in parsing of large XML documents
by not doing strlen() of the whole input in parse_xml_decl().

Back-patch because dump/restore failures are not nice.  This change
shouldn't break any cases that worked before, so it seems safe to
back-patch.

693e986d0b Make checkpoint requests more robust.
Commit 6f6a6d8b1 introduced a delay of up to 2 seconds if we're trying
to request a checkpoint but the checkpointer hasn't started yet (or,
much less likely, our kill() call fails).  However buildfarm experience
shows that that's not quite enough for slow or heavily-loaded machines.
There's no good reason to assume that the checkpointer won't start
eventually, so we may as well make the timeout much longer, say 60 sec.

However, if the caller didn't say CHECKPOINT_WAIT, it seems like a bad
idea to be waiting at all, much less for as long as 60 sec.  We can
remove the need for that, and make this whole thing more robust, by
adjusting the code so that the existence of a pending checkpoint
request is clear from the contents of shared memory, and making sure
that the checkpointer process will notice it at startup even if it did
not get a signal.  In this way there's no need for a non-CHECKPOINT_WAIT
call to wait at all; if it can't send the signal, it can nonetheless
assume that the checkpointer will eventually service the request.

A potential downside of this change is that "kill -INT" on the checkpointer
process is no longer enough to trigger a checkpoint, should anyone be
relying on something so hacky.  But there's no obvious reason to do it
like that rather than issuing a plain old CHECKPOINT command, so we'll
assume that nobody is.  There doesn't seem to be a way to preserve this
undocumented quasi-feature without introducing race conditions.

Since a principal reason for messing with this is to prevent intermittent
buildfarm failures, back-patch to all supported branches.

set_dummy_rel_pathlist and mark_dummy_rel were failing to label
the dummy paths they create with the correct outer_relids, in case

failure is a bad thing, so back-patch the fix.

I haven't attempted to analyze the exact consequences of setting any
of the float GUCs to NaN, but since they're quite unlikely to be good,
this seems like a back-patchable bug fix.

Note: we don't need an explicit test for +-Infinity because those will

that in HEAD, but not older branches because the spelling of the value
in the error message will be platform-dependent in branches where we

19ff710aaa Fix handling of targetlist SRFs when scan/join relation is known empty.
When we introduced separate ProjectSetPath nodes for application of
set-returning functions in v10, we inadvertently broke some cases where
we're supposed to recognize that the result of a subquery is known to be
empty (contain zero rows).  That's because IS_DUMMY_REL was just looking
for a childless AppendPath without allowing for a ProjectSetPath being
possibly stuck on top.  In itself, this didn't do anything much worse
than produce slightly worse plans for some corner cases.

Then in v11, commit 11cf92f6e rearranged things to allow the scan/join
targetlist to be applied directly to partial paths before they get
gathered.  But it inserted a short-circuit path for dummy relations
that was a little too short: it failed to insert a ProjectSetPath node
at all for a targetlist containing set-returning functions, resulting in
bogus "set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set"
errors, as reported in bug #15669 from Madelaine Thibaut.

The best way to fix this mess seems to be to reimplement IS_DUMMY_REL
so that it drills down through any ProjectSetPath nodes that might be
there (and it seems like we'd better allow for ProjectionPath as well).

While we're at it, make it look at rel->pathlist not cheapest_total_path,
so that it gives the right answer independently of whether set_cheapest
has been done lately.  That dependency looks pretty shaky in the context
of code like apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths, and even if it's not broken
today it'd certainly bite us at some point.  (Nastily, unsafe use of the
old coding would almost always work; the hazard comes down to possibly
looking through a dangling pointer, and only once in a blue moon would
you find something there that resulted in the wrong answer.)

It now looks like it was a mistake for IS_DUMMY_REL to be a macro: if
there are any extensions using it, they'll continue to use the old
inadequate logic until they're recompiled, after which they'll fail
to load into server versions predating this fix.  Hopefully there are
few such extensions.

Having fixed IS_DUMMY_REL, the special path for dummy rels in
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths is unnecessary as well as being wrong,
so we can just drop it.

Also change a few places that were testing for partitioned-ness of a
planner relation but not using IS_PARTITIONED_REL for the purpose; that
seems unsafe as well as inconsistent, plus it required an ugly hack in
apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths.

In passing, save a few cycles in apply_scanjoin_target_to_paths by
skipping processing of pre-existing paths for partitioned rels,
and do some cosmetic cleanup and comment adjustment in that function.

I renamed IS_DUMMY_PATH to IS_DUMMY_APPEND with the intention of breaking
any code that might be using it, since in almost every case that would
be wrong; IS_DUMMY_REL is what to be using instead.

In HEAD, also make set_dummy_rel_pathlist static (since it's no longer
used from outside allpaths.c), and delete is_dummy_plan, since it's no
longer used anywhere.

Back-patch as appropriate into v11 and v10.

9aa59e64ba Fix error handling of readdir() port implementation on first file lookup
The implementation of readdir() in src/port/ which gets used by MSVC has
been added in 399a36a, and since the beginning it considers all errors
on the first file lookup as ENOENT, setting errno accordingly and
letting the routine caller think that the directory is empty.  While
this is normally enough for the case of the backend, this can confuse
callers of this routine on Windows as all errors would map to the same
behavior.  So, for example, even permission errors would be thought as
having an empty directory, while there could be contents in it.

This commit changes the error handling so as readdir() gets a behavior
similar to native implementations: force errno=0 when seeing
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND as error and consider other errors as plain
failures.

While looking at the patch, I noticed that MinGW does not enforce
errno=0 when looking at the first file, but it gets enforced on the next
file lookups.  A comment related to that was incorrect in the code.

which expected them to contain the same number of entries as there are
columns in the VALUES RTE, and to be in the same order. That was fine
when the target relation was a table, but for an updatable view it
could be broken in at least three different ways ---
rewriteTargetListIU() could insert additional targetlist entries for
view columns with defaults, the view columns could be in a different
order from the columns of the underlying base relation, and targetlist
entries could be merged together when assigning to elements of an
array or composite type. As a result, when recursing to the base
relation, the list of attribute numbers generated from the rewritten
targetlist could no longer be relied upon to match the columns of the
VALUES RTE. We got away with that prior to 41531e42d3 because it used
to always be the case that rewriteValuesRTE() did nothing for the
underlying base relation, since all DEFAULTS had already been replaced
when it was initially invoked for the view, but that was incorrect
because it failed to apply defaults from the base relation.

Fix this by examining the targetlist entries more carefully and
picking out just those that are simple Vars referencing the VALUES
RTE. That's sufficient for the purposes of rewriteValuesRTE(), which
is only responsible for dealing with DEFAULT items in the VALUES
RTE. Any DEFAULT item in the VALUES RTE that doesn't have a matching
simple-Var-assignment in the targetlist is an error which we complain
about, but in theory that ought to be impossible.

Additionally, move this code into rewriteValuesRTE() to give a clearer
separation of concerns between the 2 functions. There is no need for
rewriteTargetListIU() to know about the details of the VALUES RTE.

While at it, fix the comment for rewriteValuesRTE() which claimed that
it doesn't support array element and field assignments --- that hasn't
been true since a3c7a993d5 (9.6 and later).

Back-patch to all supported versions, with minor differences for the
pre-9.6 branches, which don't support array element and field
assignments to the same column in multi-row VALUES lists.

406e937d12 Fix inconsistent out-of-memory error reporting in dsa.c.
Commit 16be2fd1 introduced the flag DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM to control whether
the DSA allocator would raise an error or return InvalidDsaPointer on
failure to allocate.  One edge case was not handled correctly: if we
fail to allocate an internal "span" object for a large allocation, we
would always return InvalidDsaPointer regardless of the flag; a caller
not expecting that could then dereference a null pointer.

This is a plausible explanation for a one-off report of a segfault.

Remove a redundant pair of braces so that all three stanzas that handle
DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM match in style, for visual consistency.

While fixing inconsistencies, if FreePageManagerGet() can't supply the
pages that our book-keeping says it should be able to supply, then we
should always report a FATAL error.  Previously we treated that as a
regular allocation failure in one code path, but as a FATAL condition
in another.

Back-patch to 10, where dsa.c landed.

8ec638e69c Fix ecpg bugs caused by missing semicolons in the backend grammar.
The Bison documentation clearly states that a semicolon is required
after every grammar rule, and our scripts that generate ecpg's
grammar from the backend's implicitly assumed this is true.  But it
turns out that only ancient versions of Bison actually enforce that.
There have been a couple of rules without trailing semicolons in
gram.y for some time, and as a consequence, ecpg's grammar was faulty
and produced wrong output for the affected statements.

To fix, add the missing semis, and add some cross-checks to ecpg's
scripts so that they'll bleat if we mess this up again.

The cases that were broken were:
* "SET variable = DEFAULT" (but not "SET variable TO DEFAULT"),
  as well as allied syntaxes such as ALTER SYSTEM SET ... DEFAULT.
  These produced syntactically invalid output that the server
  would reject.
* Multiple type names in DROP TYPE/DOMAIN commands.  Only the
  first type name would be listed in the emitted command.

Per report from Daisuke Higuchi.  Back-patch to all supported versions.

387483e89b Tolerate ENOSYS failure from sync_file_range().
One unintended consequence of commit 9ccdd7f6 was that Windows WSL
users started getting a panic whenever we tried to initiate data
flushing with sync_file_range(), because WSL does not implement that
system call.  Previously, they got a stream of periodic warnings,
which was also undesirable but at least ignorable.

Prevent the panic by handling ENOSYS specially and skipping the panic
promotion with data_sync_elevel().  Also suppress future attempts
after the first such failure so that the pre-existing problem of
noisy warnings is improved.

Back-patch to 9.6 (older branches were not affected in this way by
9ccdd7f6).

58947fbd56 Fix plan created for inherited UPDATE/DELETE with all tables excluded.
In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has
been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with
making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node.  While certainly
there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible
problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns
when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any
statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them.

Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to
stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more
effort here.

It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has
known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c),
so back-patch to all supported branches.

On a perhaps extreme, but still real-world, query in which
match_eclasses_to_foreign_key_col() accounts for the bulk of the

2b1971c031 Fix DEFAULT-handling in multi-row VALUES lists for updatable views.
INSERT ... VALUES for a single VALUES row is implemented differently
from a multi-row VALUES list, which causes inconsistent behaviour in
the way that DEFAULT items are handled. In particular, when inserting
into an auto-updatable view on top of a table with a column default, a
DEFAULT item in a single VALUES row gets correctly replaced with the
table column's default, but for a multi-row VALUES list it is replaced
with NULL.

Fix this by allowing rewriteValuesRTE() to leave DEFAULT items in the
VALUES list untouched if the target relation is an auto-updatable view
and has no column default, deferring DEFAULT-expansion until the query
against the base relation is rewritten. For all other types of target
relation, including tables and trigger- and rule-updatable views, we
must continue to replace DEFAULT items with NULL in the absence of a
column default.

This is somewhat complicated by the fact that if an auto-updatable
view has DO ALSO rules attached, the VALUES lists for the product
queries need to be handled differently from the original query, since
the product queries need to act like rule-updatable views whereas the
original query has auto-updatable view semantics.

Back-patch to all supported versions.

Teach dsm_unpin_segment() to skip segments that are in the process
of being destroyed by another backend, when searching for a handle.
Such a segment cannot possibly be the one we are looking for, even
if its handle matches.  Another slot might hold a recently created
segment that has the same handle value by coincidence, and we need
to keep searching for that one.

The bug caused rare "cannot unpin a segment that is not pinned"
errors on 10 and 11.  Similar to commit 6c0fb941 for dsm_attach().

b355be443b Fix CREATE VIEW to allow zero-column views.
We should logically have allowed this case when we allowed zero-column
tables, but it was overlooked.

Although this might be thought a feature addition, it's really a bug
fix, because it was possible to create a zero-column view via
the convert-table-to-view code path, and then you'd have a situation
where dump/reload would fail.  Hence, back-patch to all supported
branches.

Arrange the added test cases to provide coverage of the related
pg_dump code paths (since these views will be dumped and reloaded
during the pg_upgrade regression test).  I also made them test
the case where pg_dump has to postpone the view rule into post-data,
which disturbingly had no regression coverage before.
