A new pgstats entry is created as a two-step process:
- The entry is looked at in the shared hashtable of pgstats, and is
inserted if not found.
- When not found and inserted, its fields are then initialized. This
part include a DSA chunk allocation for the stats data of the new entry.
As currently coded, if the DSA chunk allocation fails due to an
out-of-memory failure, an ERROR is generated, leaving in the pgstats
shared hashtable an inconsistent entry due to the first step, as the
entry has already been inserted in the hashtable. These broken entries
can then be found by other backends, crashing them.
There are only two callers of pgstat_init_entry(), when loading the
pgstats file at startup and when creating a new pgstats entry. This
commit changes pgstat_init_entry() so as we use dsa_allocate_extended()
with DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM, making it return NULL on allocation failure
instead of failing. This way, a backend failing an entry creation can
take appropriate cleanup actions in the shared hashtable before throwing
an error. Currently, this means removing the entry from the shared
hashtable before throwing the error for the allocation failure.
Out-of-memory errors unlikely happen in the wild, and we do not bother
with back-patches when these are fixed, usually. However, the problem
dealt with here is a degree worse as it breaks the shared memory state
of pgstats, impacting other processes that may look at an inconsistent
entry that a different process has failed to create.

This commit changes some functions related to the data type numeric to
use the soft error reporting rather than a custom boolean flag (called
"have_error") that callers of these functions could rely on to bypass
the generation of ERROR reports, letting the callers do their own error
handling (timestamp, jsonpath and numeric_to_char() require them).
This results in the removal of some boilerplate code that was required
to handle both the ereport() and the "have_error" code paths bypassing
ereport(), unifying everything under the soft error reporting facility.
While on it, some duplicated error messages are removed. The function
upgraded in this commit were suffixed with "_opt_error" in their names.
They are renamed to "_safe" instead.
This change relies on d9f7f5d32f, that has introduced the soft error

This patch fixes a bug in how 'load_external_function' handles
'$libdir/ prefixes in module paths.
Previously, 'load_external_function' would unconditionally strip
'$libdir/' from the beginning of the 'filename' string. This caused
an issue when the path was nested, such as "$libdir/nested/my_lib".
Stripping the prefix resulted in a path of "nested/my_lib", which
would fail to be found by the expand_dynamic_library_name function
because the original '$libdir' macro was removed.
To fix this, the code now checks for the presence of an additional
directory separator ('/' or '\') after the '$libdir/' prefix. The
prefix is only stripped if the remaining string does not contain a
separator. This ensures that simple filenames like '"$libdir/my_lib"'
are correctly handled, while nested paths are left intact for
'expand_dynamic_library_name' to process correctly.

Commit 1585ff7387 changed GetTransactionSnapshot() to throw an error
if it's called during logical decoding, instead of returning the
historic snapshot. I made that change for extra protection, because a
historic snapshot can only be used to access catalog tables while
GetTransactionSnapshot() is usually called when you're executing
arbitrary queries. You might get very subtle visibility problems if
you tried to use the historic snapshot for arbitrary queries.
There's no built-in code in PostgreSQL that calls
GetTransactionSnapshot() during logical decoding, but it turns out
that the pglogical extension does just that, to evaluate row filter
expressions. You would get weird results if the row filter runs
arbitrary queries, but it is sane as long as you don't access any
non-catalog tables. Even though there are no checks to enforce that in
pglogical, a typical row filter expression does not access any tables
and works fine. Accessing tables marked with the user_catalog_table =
true option is also OK.
To fix pglogical with row filters, and any other extensions that might
do similar things, revert GetTransactionSnapshot() to return a
historic snapshot during logical decoding.
To try to still catch the unsafe usage of historic snapshots, add
checks in heap_beginscan() and index_beginscan() to complain if you
try to use a historic snapshot to scan a non-catalog table. We're very
close to the version 18 release however, so add those new checks only
in master.

Temporary relations may share the same RelFileNumber with a permanent
relation, or other temporary relations associated with other sessions.
Being able to uniquely identify a temporary relation would require
RelidByRelfilenumber() to know about the proc number of the temporary
relation it wants to identify, something it is not designed for since
its introduction in f01d1ae3a1.
There are currently three callers of RelidByRelfilenumber():
- autoprewarm.
- Logical decoding, reorder buffer.
- pg_filenode_relation(), that attempts to find a relation OID based on
a tablespace OID and a RelFileNumber.
This makes the situation problematic particularly for the first two
cases, leading to the possibility of random ERRORs due to
inconsistencies that temporary relations can create in the cache
maintained by RelidByRelfilenumber(). The third case should be less of
an issue, as I suspect that there are few direct callers of
pg_filenode_relation().
The window where the ERRORs are happen is very narrow, requiring an OID
wraparound to create a lookup conflict in RelidByRelfilenumber() with a
temporary table reusing the same OID as another relation already cached.
The problem is easier to reach in workloads with a high OID consumption
rate, especially with a higher number of temporary relations created.
We could get pg_filenode_relation() and RelidByRelfilenumber() to work
with temporary relations if provided the means to identify them with an
optional proc number given in input, but the years have also shown that
we do not have a use case for it, yet. Note that this could not be
backpatched if pg_filenode_relation() needs changes. It is simpler to
ignore temporary relations.

I also fixed up a few more places that were not using
DatumGetIntXX where they should, and made some cosmetic
adjustments such as using sizeof(int64) not sizeof(Datum)
in places where that fit better with the surrounding code.
One thing I remembered while preparing this part is that SP-GiST
stores pass-by-value prefix keys as Datums, so that the on-disk
representation depends on sizeof(Datum). That's even more
unfortunate than the existing commentary makes it out to be,
because now there is a hazard that the change of sizeof(Datum)
will break SP-GiST indexes on 32-bit machines. It appears that
there are no existing SP-GiST opclasses that are actually
affected; and if there are some that I didn't find, the number
of installations that are using them on 32-bit machines is
doubtless tiny. So I'm proceeding on the assumption that we
can get away with this, but it's something to worry about.
(gininsert.c looks like it has a similar problem, but it's okay
because the "tuples" it's constructing are just transient data

This patch makes sizeof(Datum) be 8 on all platforms including
32-bit ones. The objective is to allow USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL to be true
everywhere, and in consequence to remove a lot of code that is
specific to pass-by-reference handling of float8, int8, etc. The
code for abbreviated sort keys can be simplified similarly. In this
way we can reduce the maintenance effort involved in supporting 32-bit
platforms, without going so far as to actually desupport them. Since
Datum is strictly an in-memory concept, this has no impact on on-disk
storage, though an initdb or pg_upgrade will be needed to fix affected
catalog entries.
We have required platforms to support [u]int64 for ages, so this
breaks no supported platform. We can expect that this change will
make 32-bit builds a bit slower and more memory-hungry, although being
able to use pass-by-value handling of 8-byte types may buy back some
of that. But we stopped optimizing for 32-bit cases a long time ago,
and this seems like just another step on that path.
This initial patch simply forces the correct type definition and
USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL setting, and cleans up a couple of minor compiler
complaints that ensued. This is sufficient for testing purposes.
In the wake of a bunch of Datum-conversion cleanups by Peter
Eisentraut, this now compiles cleanly with gcc on a 32-bit platform.
(I'd only tested the previous version with clang, which it turns out
is less picky than gcc about width-changing coercions.)
There is a good deal of now-dead code that I'll remove in separate
follow-up patches.
A catversion bump is required because this affects initial catalog
contents (on 32-bit machines) in two ways: pg_type.typbyval changes
for some built-in types, and Const nodes in stored views/rules will
now have 8 bytes not 4 for pass-by-value types.

Commit e2d4ef8de8 (the fix for CVE-2017-7484) added security checks
to the selectivity estimation functions to prevent them from running
user-supplied operators on data obtained from pg_statistic if the user
lacks privileges to select from the underlying table. In cases
involving inheritance/partitioning, those checks were originally
performed against the child RTE (which for plain inheritance might
actually refer to the parent table). Commit 553d2ec271 then extended
that to also check the parent RTE, allowing access if the user had
permissions on either the parent or the child. It turns out, however,
that doing any checks using the child RTE is incorrect, since
securityQuals is set to NULL when creating an RTE for an inheritance
child (whether it refers to the parent table or the child table), and
therefore such checks do not correctly account for any RLS policies or
security barrier views. Therefore, do the security checks using only
the parent RTE. This is consistent with how RLS policies are applied,
and the executor's ACL checks, both of which use only the parent
table's permissions/policies. Similar checks are performed in the
extended stats code, so update that in the same way, centralizing all
the checks in a new function.
In addition, note that these checks by themselves are insufficient to
ensure that the user has access to the table's data because, in a
query that goes via a view, they only check that the view owner has
permissions on the underlying table, not that the current user has
permissions on the view itself. In the selectivity estimation
functions, there is no easy way to navigate from underlying tables to
views, so add permissions checks for all views mentioned in the query
to the planner startup code. If the user lacks permissions on a view,
a permissions error will now be reported at planner-startup, and the
selectivity estimation functions will not be run.
Checking view permissions at planner-startup in this way is a little
ugly, since the same checks will be repeated at executor-startup.
Longer-term, it might be better to move all the permissions checks
from the executor to the planner so that permissions errors can be
reported sooner, instead of creating a plan that won't ever be run.
However, such a change seems too far-reaching to be back-patched.
Back-patch to all supported versions. In v13, there is the added
complication that UPDATEs and DELETEs on inherited target tables are
planned using inheritance_planner(), which plans each inheritance
child table separately, so that the selectivity estimation functions
do not know that they are dealing with a child table accessed via its
parent. Handle that by checking access permissions on the top parent
table at planner-startup, in the same way as we do for views. Any
securityQuals on the top parent table are moved down to the child
tables by inheritance_planner(), so they continue to be checked by the
selectivity estimation functions.

In addition to improved performance on platforms lacking native

A couple of numeric functions (div_var_int64() and sqrt_var()) still

This enhancement builds upon the infrastructure introduced in commit
228c370868, which enables the preservation of deleted tuples and their
origin information on the subscriber. This capability is crucial for
handling concurrent transactions replicated from remote nodes.
The update introduces support for detecting update_deleted conflicts
during the application of update operations on the subscriber. When an
update operation fails to locate the target row-typically because it has
been concurrently deleted-we perform an additional table scan. This scan
uses the SnapshotAny mechanism and we do this additional scan only when
the retain_dead_tuples option is enabled for the relevant subscription.
The goal of this scan is to locate the most recently deleted tuple-matching
the old column values from the remote update-that has not yet been removed
by VACUUM and is still visible according to our slot (i.e., its deletion
is not older than conflict-detection-slot's xmin). If such a tuple is
found, the system reports an update_deleted conflict, including the origin
and transaction details responsible for the deletion.
This provides a groundwork for more robust and accurate conflict
resolution process, preventing unexpected behavior by correctly
identifying cases where a remote update clashes with a deletion from
another origin.

Coverity complained that the "errtrace" string is leaked if we return
early because backtrace_symbols fails. Another criticism that could
be leveled at this is that not providing any hint of what happened is
user-unfriendly. Fix that.
The odds of a leak here are small, and typically it wouldn't matter
anyway since the leak will be in ErrorContext which will soon get
reset. So I'm not feeling a need to back-patch.
CompleteCachedPlan intentionally doesn't worry about small
leaks from PlanCacheComputeResultDesc. However, Valgrind
knows nothing of engineering tradeoffs and complains anyway.
Silence it by doing things the hard way if USE_VALGRIND.
I don't really love this patch, because it makes the handling
of plansource->resultDesc different from the handling of query
dependencies and search_path just above, which likewise are willing
to accept small leaks into the cached plan's context. However,
those cases aren't provoking Valgrind complaints. (Perhaps in a
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, they would?) For the moment, this
makes the src/pl/plpgsql tests leak-free according to Valgrind.

Like the situation with function cache loading, text search
dictionary loading functions tend to leak some cruft into the
dictionary's long-lived cache context. To judge by the examples in
the core regression tests, not very many bytes are at stake.
Moreover, I don't see a way to prevent such leaks without changing the
API for TS template initialization functions: right now they do not
have to worry about making sure that their results are long-lived.
Hence, I think we should install a suppression rule rather than trying
to fix this completely. However, I did grab some low-hanging fruit:
several places were leaking the result of get_tsearch_config_filename.
This seems worth doing mostly because they are inconsistent with other
dictionaries that were freeing it already.

These changes don't actually fix any leaks. They just make sure that
Valgrind will find pointers to data structures that remain allocated
at process exit, and thus not falsely complain about leaks. In
particular, we are trying to avoid situations where there is no
pointer to the beginning of an allocated block (except possibly
within the block itself, which Valgrind won't count).
* Because dynahash.c never frees hashtable storage except by deleting
the whole hashtable context, it doesn't bother to track the individual
blocks of elements allocated by element_alloc(). This results in
"possibly lost" complaints from Valgrind except when the first element
of each block is actively in use. (Otherwise it'll be on a freelist,
but very likely only reachable via "interior pointers" within element
blocks, which doesn't satisfy Valgrind.)
To fix, if we're building with USE_VALGRIND, expend an extra pointer's
worth of space in each element block so that we can chain them all
together from the HTAB header. Skip this in shared hashtables though:
Valgrind doesn't track those, and we'd need additional locking to make
it safe to manipulate a shared chain.
While here, update a comment obsoleted by 9c911ec06.
* Put the dlist_node fields of catctup and catclist structs first.
This ensures that the dlist pointers point to the starts of these
palloc blocks, and thus that Valgrind won't consider them
"possibly lost".
* The postmaster's PMChild structs and the autovac launcher's
avl_dbase structs also have the dlist_node-is-not-first problem,
but putting it first still wouldn't silence the warning because we
bulk-allocate those structs in an array, so that Valgrind sees a
single allocation. Commonly the first array element will be pointed
to only from some later element, so that the reference would be an
interior pointer even if it pointed to the array start. (This is the
same issue as for dynahash elements.) Since these are pretty simple
data structures, I don't feel too bad about faking out Valgrind by
just keeping a static pointer to the array start.
(This is all quite hacky, and it's not hard to imagine usages where
we'd need some other idea in order to have reasonable leak tracking of
structures that are only accessible via dlist_node lists. But these
changes seem to be enough to silence this class of leakage complaints
for the moment.)
* Free a couple of data structures manually near the end of an
autovacuum worker's run when USE_VALGRIND, and ensure that the final
vac_update_datfrozenxid() call is done in a non-permanent context.
This doesn't have any real effect on the process's total memory
consumption, since we're going to exit as soon as that last
transaction is done. But it does pacify Valgrind.
* Valgrind complains about the postmaster's socket-files and
lock-files lists being leaked, which we can silence by just
not nulling out the static pointers to them.
* Valgrind seems not to consider the global "environ" variable as
a valid root pointer; so when we allocate a new environment array,
it claims that data is leaked. To fix that, keep our own
statically-allocated copy of the pointer, similarly to the previous
item.

In the current system architecture, none of these are worth obsessing
over; most are once-per-process leaks. However, Valgrind complains
about all of them, and if we get to using threads rather than
processes for backend sessions, it will become more interesting to
avoid per-session leaks.
* Fix leaks in StartupXLOG() and ShutdownWalRecovery().
* Fix leakage of pq_mq_handle in a parallel worker.
While at it, move mq_putmessage's "Assert(pq_mq_handle != NULL)"
to someplace where it's not trivially useless.
* Fix leak in logicalrep_worker_detach().
* Don't leak the startup-packet buffer in ProcessStartupPacket().
* Fix leak in evtcache.c's DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset().
If the presented array is toasted, this neglected to free the
detoasted copy, which was then leaked into EventTriggerCacheContext.
* I'm distressed by the amount of code that BuildEventTriggerCache
is willing to run while switched into a long-lived cache context.
Although the detoasted array is the only leak that Valgrind reports,
let's tighten things up while we're here. (DecodeTextArrayToBitmapset
is still run in the cache context, so doing this doesn't remove the
need for the detoast fix. But it reduces the surface area for other
leaks.)
* load_domaintype_info() intentionally leaked some intermediate cruft
into the long-lived DomainConstraintCache's memory context, reasoning
that the amount of leakage will typically not be much so it's not
worth doing a copyObject() of the final tree to avoid that. But
Valgrind knows nothing of engineering tradeoffs and complains anyway.
On the whole, the copyObject doesn't cost that much and this is surely
not a performance-critical code path, so let's do it the clean way.
* MarkGUCPrefixReserved didn't bother to clean up removed placeholder
GUCs at all, which shows up as a leak in one regression test.
It seems appropriate for it to do as much cleanup as
define_custom_variable does when replacing placeholders, so factor
that code out into a helper function. define_custom_variable's logic
was one brick shy of a load too: it forgot to free the separate
allocation for the placeholder's name.

Arrange that only the "aligned chunk" part of the allocated space is
included in a Valgrind vchunk. This suppresses complaints about that
vchunk being possibly lost because PG is retaining only pointers to
the aligned chunk. Also make sure that trailing wasted space is
marked NOACCESS.
As a tiny performance improvement, arrange that MCXT_ALLOC_ZERO zeroes
only the returned "aligned chunk", not the wasted padding space.
In passing, fix GetLocalBufferStorage to use MemoryContextAllocAligned
instead of rolling its own implementation, which was equally broken
according to Valgrind.

When determining whether an allocated chunk is still reachable,
Valgrind will consider only pointers within what it believes to be
allocated chunks. Normally, all of a block obtained from malloc()
would be considered "allocated" --- but it turns out that if we use
VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate sub-section(s) of a malloc'ed
block as allocated, all the rest of that malloc'ed block is ignored.
This leads to lots of false positives of course. In particular,
in any multi-malloc-block context, all but the primary block were
reported as leaked. We also had a problem with context "ident"
strings, which were reported as leaked unless there was some other
pointer to them besides the one in the context header.
To fix, we need to use VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC to designate
a context's management structs (the context struct itself and
any per-block headers) as allocated chunks. That forces moving
the VALGRIND_CREATE_MEMPOOL/VALGRIND_DESTROY_MEMPOOL calls into
the per-context-type code, so that the pool identifier can be
made as soon as we've allocated the initial block, but otherwise
it's fairly straightforward. Note that in Valgrind's eyes there
is no distinction between these allocations and the allocations
that the mmgr modules hand out to user code. That's fine for
now, but perhaps someday we'll want to do better yet.
When reading this patch, it's helpful to start with the comments
added at the head of mcxt.c.

Currently, ALTER DATABASE/ROLE/SYSTEM RESET [ALL] with an unknown
custom GUC with a prefix reserved by MarkGUCPrefixReserved() errors
(unless a superuser runs a RESET ALL variant). This is problematic
for cases such as an extension library upgrade that removes a GUC.
To fix, simply make sure the relevant code paths explicitly allow
it. Note that we require superuser or privileges on the parameter
to reset it. This is perhaps a bit more restrictive than is
necessary, but it's not clear whether further relaxing the
requirements is safe.
Oversight in commit 88103567cb. The ALTER SYSTEM fix is dependent
on commit 2d870b4aef, which first appeared in v17. Unfortunately,
back-patching that commit would introduce ABI breakage, and while
that breakage seems unlikely to bother anyone, it doesn't seem
worth the risk. Hence, the ALTER SYSTEM part of this commit is
omitted on v15 and v16.

Backpatch-through: 15
Commit 719dcf3c42 introduced a field called CachedPlanType in
PlannedStmt to allow extensions to determine whether a cached plan is
generic or custom.
After discussion, the concepts that we want to track are a bit wider
than initially anticipated, as it is closer to knowing from which
"source" or "origin" a PlannedStmt has been generated or retrieved.
Custom and generic cached plans are a subset of that.
Based on the state of HEAD, we have been able to define two more
origins:
- "standard", for the case where PlannedStmt is generated in
standard_planner(), the most common case.
- "internal", for the fake PlannedStmt generated internally by some
query patterns.
This could be tuned in the future depending on what is needed. This
looks like a good starting point, at least. The default value is called
"UNKNOWN", provided as fallback value. This value is not used in the
core code, the idea is to let extensions building their own PlannedStmts
know about this new field.
