The test table names gtest11s and gtest12s were way originally chosen
to signify "stored", when the idea was to have virtual columns in the
same test file. This is no longer the idea, so this naming is
irrelevant. (The upcoming feature of virtual generated columns will
have a test file that is initially a copy of generated_stored.sql, and
this random difference will be even more annoying then.) Clean this
up by dropping the suffix.

This commit refactors ExecScan() by moving its tuple-fetching,
filtering, and projection logic into an inline-able function,
ExecScanExtended(), defined in src/include/executor/execScan.h.
ExecScanExtended() accepts parameters for EvalPlanQual state,
qualifiers (ExprState), and projection (ProjectionInfo).
Specialized variants of the execution function of a given Scan node
(for example, ExecSeqScan() for SeqScan) can then pass const-NULL for
unused parameters. This allows the compiler to inline the logic and
eliminate unnecessary branches or checks. Each variant function thus
contains only the necessary code, optimizing execution for scans
where these features are not needed.
The variant function to be used is determined in the ExecInit*()
function of the node and assigned to the ExecProcNode function pointer
in the node's PlanState, effectively turning runtime checks and
conditional branches on the NULLness of epqstate, qual, and projInfo
into static ones, provided the compiler successfully eliminates
unnecessary checks from the inlined code of ExecScanExtended().
Currently, only ExecSeqScan() is modified to take advantage of this
inline-ability. Other Scan nodes might benefit from such specialized
variant functions but that is left as future work.
Benchmarks performed by Junwang Zhao, David Rowley and myself show up
to a 5% reduction in execution time for queries that rely heavily on
Seq Scans. The most significant improvements were observed in
scenarios where EvalPlanQual, qualifiers, and projection were not
required, but other cases also benefit from reduced runtime overhead
due to the inlining and removal of unnecessary code paths.
The idea for this patch first came from Andres Freund in an off-list
discussion. The refactoring approach implemented here is based on a
proposal by David Rowley, significantly improving upon the patch I
(amitlan) initially proposed.

9aea73fc61d4 has added support for backend statistics, relying on
PgStat_EntryRef->pending for its data pending for flush. This design
lacks in flexibility, because the pending list does some memory
allocation, making it unsuitable if incrementing counters in critical
sections.
Pending data of backend statistics is reworked so the implementation
does not depend on PgStat_EntryRef->pending anymore, relying on a static
area of memory to store the counters that are flushed when stats are
reported to the pgstats dshash. An advantage of this approach is to
allow the pending data to be manipulated in critical sections; some
patches are under discussion and require that.
The pending data is tracked by PendingBackendStats, local to
pgstat_backend.c. Two routines are introduced to allow IO statistics to
update the backend-side counters. have_static_pending_cb and
flush_static_cb are used for the flush, instead of flush_pending_cb.

restriction that these only apply to fixed-numbered stats is removed.
A follow-up patch will make use of them for backend statistics. This
stats kind is variable-numbered, and patches are under discussion to
track WAL data for IO and backend stats which cannot use
PgStat_EntryRef->pending as pending data would be touched in critical
sections, where no memory allocation can happen.

The freshly-released 2025a version of tzdata has a refined estimate
for the longitude of Manila, changing their value for LMT in
pre-standardized-timezone days. This changes the output of one of
our test cases. Since we need to be able to run with system tzdata
files that may or may not contain this update, we'd better stop
making that specific test.
I switched it to use Asia/Singapore, which has a roughly similar UTC
offset. That LMT value hasn't changed in tzdb since 2003, so we can
hope that it's well established.
I also noticed that this set of make_timestamptz tests only exercises
zones east of Greenwich, which seems rather sad, and was not the
original intent AFAICS. (We've already changed these tests once
to stabilize their results across tzdata updates, cf 66b737cd9;
it looks like I failed to consider the UTC-offset-sign aspect then.)
To improve that, add a test with Pacific/Honolulu. That LMT offset
is also quite old in tzdb, so we'll cross our fingers that it doesn't
get improved.

If a WaitEventSetWait() caller asks for multiple events, an already set
latch would previously prevent other events from being reported at the
same time. Now, we'll also poll the kernel for other events that would
fit in the caller's output buffer with a zero wait time. This policy
change doesn't affect callers that ask for only one event.
The main caller affected is the postmaster. If its latch is set
extremely frequently by backends launching workers and workers exiting,
we don't want it to handle only those jobs and ignore incoming client

XLogPageRead() checks immediately for an invalid WAL record header on a
standby, to be able to handle the case of continuation records that need
to be read across two different sources. As written, the check was too
generic, applying to any target LSN. Based on an analysis by Kyotaro
Horiguchi, what really matters is to make sure that the page header is
checked when attempting to read a LSN at the boundary of a segment, to
handle the case of a continuation record that spawns across multiple
pages when dealing with multiple segments, as WAL receivers are spawned
they request WAL from the beginning of a segment. This fix has been
proposed by Kyotaro Horiguchi.
This could cause standbys to loop infinitely when dealing with a
continuation record during a timeline jump, in the case where the
contents of the record in the follow-up page are invalid.
Some regression tests are added to check such scenarios, able to
reproduce the original problem. In the test, the contents of a
continuation record are overwritten with junk zeros on its follow-up
page, and replayed on standbys. This is inspired by 039_end_of_wal.pl,
and is enough to show how standbys should react on promotion by not
being stuck. Without the fix, the test would fail with a timeout. The
test to reproduce the problem has been written by Alexander Kukushkin.
The original check has been introduced in 066871980183, for a similar

The PG_UNICODE_FAST locale uses code point sort order (fast,
memcmp-based) combined with Unicode character semantics. The character
semantics are based on Unicode full case mapping.
Full case mapping can map a single codepoint to multiple codepoints,
such as "ß" uppercasing to "SS". Additionally, it handles
context-sensitive mappings like the "final sigma", and it uses
titlecase mappings such as "Dž" when titlecasing (rather than plain
uppercase mappings).
Importantly, the uppercasing of "ß" as "SS" is specifically mentioned
by the SQL standard. In Postgres, UCS_BASIC uses plain ASCII semantics
for case mapping and pattern matching, so if we changed it to use the
PG_UNICODE_FAST locale, it would offer better compliance with the
standard. For now, though, do not change the behavior of UCS_BASIC.

Remove the flex version checks from configure and meson. The cutoff
versions are all so ancient that this is no longer relevant, and what
the actual cutoff should be is a bit fuzzy.
This also removes the ancient behavior that configure would also
accept a "lex" program if it is actuall flex. This aligns the check
with meson in this respect.
For future reference, as of this commit, these are relevant flex
versions:
- The hard required minimum is flex 2.5.34 as of commit b1ef48980dd,
but this has not actually been tested.
- Prior to this, the minimum enforced by configure/meson was flex
2.5.35, which is the oldest present in the buildfarm right now.
- As of commit 6fdd5d95634, the oldest version that will compile
without warnings due to flex-generated code is flex 2.5.36.

is flex 2.5.37, which ships with CentOS/RHEL 7.

The protections added by commit 3b00fdba9f introduced race
conditions to this function that can lead to bogus return values.
Since nobody seems to inspect the return value, this is of little
consequence, but it would have been nice to convert it to a void
function to avoid any possibility of a bogus return value. I
originally thought that doing so would have required also modifying
legacy-pqsignal.c's version of the function (which would've
required an SONAME bump), but commit 9a45a89c38 gave
legacy-pqsignal.c its own dedicated extern for pqsignal(), thereby
decoupling it enough that libpgport's pqsignal() can be modified.
This commit also adds an assertion for the return value of
sigaction()/signal(). Since a failure most likely indicates a
coding error, and nobody has ever bothered to check pqsignal()'s
return value, it's probably not worth the effort to do anything
fancier.

As noted by the comment at the top of port/pqsignal.c, Windows
frontend programs can only use pqsignal() with the 6 signals
required by C. Most places avoid using invalid signals via #ifndef
WIN32, but initdb and pg_test_fsync check whether the signal itself
is defined, which doesn't work because win32_port.h defines many
extra signals for the signal emulation code. pg_regress seems to
have missed the memo completely. These issues aren't causing any
real problems today because nobody checks the return value of
pqsignal(), but a follow-up commit will add some error checking.
To fix, surround all frontend calls to pqsignal() that use signals
that are invalid on Windows with #ifndef WIN32. We cannot simply
skip defining the extra signals in win32_port.h for frontends
because they are needed in places such as pgkill().

If a time zone abbreviation used in datetime input is defined in
the currently active timezone, use that definition in preference
to looking in the timezone_abbreviations list. That allows us to
correctly handle abbreviations that have different meanings in
different timezones. Also, it eliminates an inconsistency between
datetime input and datetime output: the non-ISO datestyles for
timestamptz have always printed abbreviations taken from the IANA
data, not from timezone_abbreviations. Before this fix, it was
possible to demonstrate cases where casting a timestamp to text
and back fails or changes the value significantly because of that
inconsistency.
While this change removes the ability to override the IANA data about
an abbreviation known in the current zone, it's not clear that there's
any real use-case for doing so. But it is clear that this makes life
a lot easier for dealing with abbreviations that have conflicts across
different time zones.
Also update the pg_timezone_abbrevs view to report abbreviations
that are recognized via the IANA data, and *not* report any
timezone_abbreviations entries that are thereby overridden.
Under the hood, there are now two SRFs, one that pulls the IANA
data and one that pulls timezone_abbreviations entries. They're
combined by logic in the view. This approach was useful for
debugging (since the functions can be called on their own).
While I don't intend to document the functions explicitly,
they might be useful to call directly.
Also improve DecodeTimezoneAbbrev's caching logic so that it can
cache zone abbreviations found in the IANA data. Without that,
this patch would have caused a noticeable degradation of the
runtime of timestamptz_in.

This omission caused it to not recognize the furthest-back zone
abbreviation when working with timezone data compiled with relatively
recent zic (2018f or newer). Older versions of zic produced a dummy
DST transition at the Big Bang, so that the oldest abbreviation could
always be found in the sp->types[] array; but newer versions don't do
that, so that we must examine defaulttype as well as the types[] array
to be sure of seeing all the abbreviations.
While this has been broken for six or so years, we'd managed not
to notice for two reasons: (1) many platforms are still using
ancient zic for compatibility reasons, so that the issue did not
manifest in builds using --with-system-tzdata; (2) the oldest
zone abbreviation is almost always "LMT", which we weren't
supporting anyway (but an upcoming patch will accept that).
While at it, update pg_next_dst_boundary() to use sp->defaulttype
as the time type for non-DST zones and times before the oldest
DST transition. The existing code there predates upstream's
invention of the sp->defaulttype field, and its heuristic for
finding the oldest time type has now been subsumed into the
code that sets sp->defaulttype.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm not currently aware
of any visible consequences of this bug in released branches.

This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined,

For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE,
new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT
with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule

The "does not exist" errors in object_ownership() were written as

The one case that can reach this without first checking the object

objects are referred to by their OID directly.) In this one case, we
can add a line of code to check the object existence explicitly,

This removes all the various workarounds for avoiding compiler
warnings with Flex 2.5.35. Several recent patches have added
additional warnings that would either need to be fixed along the lines
of the existing workarounds, or we decide to no longer care about
this, which we do here.
Flex 2.5.35 is extremely outdated, and you can't even download it
anymore from any of the Flex project sites, so it's nearly impossible
to support.
After this, using Flex 2.5.35 will still work, but the generated code
will produce numerous compiler warnings.

This changes commit 7406ab623fe in that the gist strategy number
mapping support function is changed to use the CompareType enum as
input, instead of the "well-known" RT*StrategyNumber strategy numbers.
This is a bit cleaner, since you are not dealing with two sets of
strategy numbers. Also, this will enable us to subsume this system
into a more general system of using CompareType to define operator
semantics across index methods.
