The TransactionIdInRecentPast() should return false for all the transactions
older than TransamVariables->oldestClogXid. However, the function contains
a bug in comparison FullTransactionId to TransactionID allowing full
transactions between nextXid - 2^32 and oldestClogXid - 2^31.

Commit b0f0a9432d0 backpatched some code from upstream DocBook XSL to
our customization layer. It turned out that this failed to work with
anything but the latest DocBook XSL upstream version (1.79.*), because
the backpatched code references an XSLT parameter (autolink.index.see)
that is not defined in earlier versions (because the feature it is
used for did not exist yet).
There is no way in XSLT to test whether a parameter is declared before
the stylesheet processor tries and fails to access it. So the
possibilities to fix this would be to either remove the code that uses
the parameter (and thus give up on the feature it is used for) or
declare the parameter in our customization layer. The latter seems
easier, and with a few more lines of code we can backport the entire
autolink.index.see feature, so let's do that. (If we didn't, then
with older stylesheets the parameter will appear as on, but it won't
actually do anything, because of the way the stylesheets are laid out,
so it's less confusing to just make it work.)
With this, the documentation build should work again with docbook-xsl
versions 1.77.*, 1.78.*, and 1.79.* (which already worked before).
Version 1.76.1 already didn't work before all this, so was not
considered here.

A comment in grouping_planner() claimed that the PlannerInfo
upper_targets array was not used in core code. However, the code that
generated the paths for the UPPERREL_PARTIAL_DISTINCT rel made that
comment untrue.
Here we adjust the create_distinct_paths() function signature to pass
down the PathTarget the same as is done for create_grouping_paths(),
thus making the aforementioned comment true again.
In passing adjust the order of the upper_targets[] assignments. These
seem to be following the reverse enum order apart from
UPPERREL_PARTIAL_DISTINCT.
Also, update the header comment for generate_gather_paths() to mention
the function is also used to create gather paths for partial distinct

The standalone functions fasthash{32,64} use length for two purposes:
how many bytes to hash, and how to perturb the internal seed.
Developers using the incremental interface may not know the length
ahead of time (e.g. for C strings). In this case, it's advised to
pass length to the finalizer, but initialization still needed some
length up front, in the form of a placeholder macro.
Separate the concerns by having the standalone functions perturb the
internal seed themselves from their own length parameter, allowing
to remove "len" from fasthash_init(), as well as the placeholder macro.

The internal commands in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY are
correctly executed in SECURITY_RESTRICTED_OPERATION mode, except for
creating the temporary "diff" table, because you cannot create
temporary tables in SRO mode. But creating the temporary "diff" table
is a pretty complex CTAS command that selects from another temporary
table created earlier in the command. If you can cajole that CTAS
command to execute code defined by the table owner, the table owner
can run code with the privileges of the user running the REFRESH
command.
The proof-of-concept reported to the security team relied on CREATE
RULE to convert the internally-built temp table to a view. That's not
possible since commit b23cd185fd, and I was not able to find a
different way to turn the SELECT on the temp table into code
execution, so as far as I know this is only exploitable in v15 and
below. That's a fiddly assumption though, so apply this patch to
master and all stable versions.

ERROR: ResourceOwnerRemember called but array was full

This bug was introduced in the large ResourceOwner rewrite commit

the subsequent PinLocalBuffer() will succeed, but after the rewrite,
releasing an old resource doesn't guarantee that there is space for a

Here we adjust the partial path generation for parallel DISTINCT queries
to add Sort nodes on top of any unsorted partial distinct paths.
This increases the likelihood of the planner pushing a Sort below a Gather
Merge which enables the final phase of the parallel distinct to be
implemented using a Unique node in more cases.
Sorting the partial distinct paths is particularly useful when the
DISTINCT query has an ORDER BY and LIMIT clause as this can allow cheaper
plans by having the workers Hash Aggregate then Sort before feeding the
results into the Gather Merge. The non-parallel portion of the plan then
becomes very cheap as it leaves only Unique and Limit to do in the leader
process.

Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile()
or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects. The symptom
was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or
pg_filenode.map. If missing the directory, recovery would fail. Either
missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database
unusable. Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action
first and then write a WAL entry" strategy. That has a side benefit of
moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways
to PANIC. Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so
it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.

Further fallout from commit 6ee26c6a4b. To keep code in sync and avoid

The latest buildfarm failures show that after the insert, we don't
actually wait long enough for WAL summarization to catch up, apparently
because the on disk state gets updated before the in-memory state, and
so by checking the on disk state to see whether we're caught up and then
the in-memory state to see where exactly how far we've progressed, we
can, if unlucky, derive an older value of summarized_lsn, messing up
the rest of the test.
Attempt to fix this by using pg_available_wal_summaries() everywhere in
the test and pg_get_wal_summarizer_state() nowhere.

This impacts the statistics retrieved in transactions for the following
views when updating the value of stats_fetch_consistency, leading to
behaviors contrary to what is documented since 605994651b6a as an update
of this parameter should discard all statistics snapshot data:
- pg_stat_archiver
- pg_stat_bgwriter
- pg_stat_checkpointer
- pg_stat_io
- pg_stat_slru
- pg_stat_wal
For example, updating stats_fetch_consistency from "snapshot" to "cache"
in a transaction did not re-fetch any fresh data, using data cached from
the time when "snapshot" was in use.

When building a MergeAppendPath which has child paths that are not
sorted correctly for the MergeAppend's sort order, we apply the cost of
sorting those paths to the MergeAppendPath costs.
Here we fix a bug where the number of tuples specified that needed to be
sorted was effectively pg_class.reltuples rather than the number of
expected row in the subpath. This effectively penalizes MergeAppend
plans any time any filter is present on the MergeAppend subpath as the
sort cost added is to sort all tuples in the table rather than just the
ones expected the path to return.
This did not affect UNION ALL type queries as the RelOptInfo tuples is
set from the subquery's path rows. It does affect MergeAppends uses for
inheritance and partitioned tables.
This is a long-standing bug introduced when MergeAppend was first added
in 11cad29c9. No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.
