If extensions of equal names were installed in different directories
in the path, the views pg_available_extensions and
pg_available_extension_versions would show all of them, even though
only the first one was actually reachable by CREATE EXTENSION. To
fix, have those views skip extensions found later in the path if they
have names already found earlier.
Also add a bit of documentation that only the first extension in the
path can be used.

The TimescaleDB extension expects to be able to change an nbtree scan's
keys across rescans. The issue arises in the extension's implementation
of loose index scan. This is arguably a misuse of the index AM API,
though apparently it worked until recently. It stopped working when the
skipScan flag was added to BTScanOpaqueData by commit 8a510275, though.
The flag wouldn't reliably track whether the scan (actually, the current
rescan) has any skip arrays, leading to confusion in _bt_set_startikey.
nbtree preprocessing will now defensively initialize the scan's skipScan
flag in all cases, including the case where _bt_preprocess_array_keys
returns early due to the (re)scan not using arrays. While nbtree isn't
obligated to support this use case (at least not according to my reading
of the index AM API), it still seems like a good idea to be consistent
here, on general robustness grounds.

Commit e3ffc3e91 fixed the translation of character classes in
SIMILAR TO regular expressions. Unfortunately the fix broke a corner
case: if there is an escape character right after the opening bracket
(for example in "[\q]"), a closing bracket right after the escape
sequence would not be seen as closing the character class.
There were two more oversights: a backslash or a nested opening bracket
right at the beginning of a character class should remove the special
meaning from any following caret or closing bracket.
This bug suggests that this code needs to be more readable, so also
rename the variables "charclass_depth" and "charclass_start" to
something more meaningful, rewrite an "if" cascade to be more
consistent, and improve the commentary.

A recently added nbtree preprocessing step failed to account for the
fact that DESC columns already had their B-Tree strategy number commuted
at this point in preprocessing. As a result, preprocessing could output
a set of scan keys where one or more keys had the correct strategy
number, but used the wrong comparison routine.
To fix, make the faulty code path that looks up a more restrictive
replacement operator/comparison routine commute its requested inequality
strategy (while outputting the transformed strategy number as before).
This makes the final transformed scan key comport with the approach
preprocessing has always used to deal with DESC columns (which is
described by comments above _bt_fix_scankey_strategy).
Oversight in commit commit b3f1a13f, which made nbtree preprocessing
perform transformations on skip array inequalities that can reduce the
total number of index searches.

pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects() would report a column default

of dropped-object reports for dependencies of temp tables.

If the hash functions used for hashing tuples leaked any memory,
we failed to clean that up, resulting in query-lifespan memory
leakage in queries using hashed subplans. One way that could
happen is if the values being hashed require de-toasting, since
most of our hash functions don't trouble to clean up de-toasted
inputs.
Prior to commit bf6c614a2, this leakage was largely masked
because TupleHashTableMatch would reset hashtable->tempcxt
(via execTuplesMatch). But it doesn't do that anymore, and
that's not really the right place for this anyway: doing it
there could reset the tempcxt many times per hash lookup,
or not at all. Instead put reset calls into ExecHashSubPlan
and buildSubPlanHash. Along the way to that, rearrange
ExecHashSubPlan so that there's just one place to call
MemoryContextReset instead of several.
This amounts to accepting the de-facto API spec that the caller
of the TupleHashTable routines is responsible for resetting the
tempcxt adequately often. Although the other callers seem to
get this right, it was not documented anywhere, so add a comment
about it.

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.

When executing a MERGE UPDATE action, if there is more than one
concurrent update of the target row, the lock-and-retry code would
sometimes incorrectly identify the latest version of the target tuple,
leading to incorrect results.
This was caused by using the ctid field from the TM_FailureData
returned by table_tuple_lock() in a case where the result was TM_Ok,
which is unsafe because the TM_FailureData struct is not guaranteed to
be fully populated in that case. Instead, it should use the tupleid
passed to (and updated by) table_tuple_lock().
To reduce the chances of similar errors in the future, improve the
commentary for table_tuple_lock() and TM_FailureData to make it
clearer that table_tuple_lock() updates the tid passed to it, and most
fields of TM_FailureData should not be relied on in non-failure cases.
An exception to this is the "traversed" field, which is set in both
success and failure cases.

Fix by adding such a check to CheckValidResultRel(), which requires

SubPlan nodes are typically built very early, before any RelOptInfos
have been constructed for the parent query level. As a result, the
simple_rel_array in the parent root has not yet been initialized.
Currently, during cost estimation of a SubPlan's testexpr, we may call
examine_variable() to look up statistical data about the expressions.
This can lead to "no relation entry for relid" errors.
To fix, pass root as NULL to cost_qual_eval() in cost_subplan(), since
the root does not yet contain enough information to safely consult
statistics.
One exception is SubPlan nodes built for the initplans of MIN/MAX
aggregates from indexes. In this case, having a NULL root is safe
because testexpr will be NULL. Additionally, an initplan will by
definition not consult anything from the parent plan.
Backpatch to all supported branches. Although the reported call path
that triggers this error is not reachable prior to v17, there's no
guarantee that other code paths -- especially in extensions -- could
not encounter the same issue when cost_qual_eval() is called with a
root that lacks a valid simple_rel_array. The test case is not
included in pre-v17 branches though.

Compression in pg_dump is abstracted using an API with multiple
implementations which can be selected at runtime by the user.
The API and its implementations have evolved over time, notable
commits include bf9aa490db, e9960732a9, 84adc8e20, and 0da243fed.
The errorhandling defined by the API was however problematic and
the implementations had a few bugs and/or were not following the
API specification. This commit modifies the API to ensure that
callers can perform errorhandling efficiently and fixes all the
implementations such that they all implement the API in the same
way. A full list of the changes can be seen below.
* write_func:
- Make write_func throw an error on all error conditions. All
callers of write_func were already checking for success and
calling pg_fatal on all errors, so we might as well make the
API support that case directly with simpler errorhandling as
a result.
* open_func:
- zstd: move stream initialization from the open function to
the read and write functions as they can have fatal errors.
Also ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
- lz4: Ensure to dup the file descriptor like none and gzip.
* close_func:
- zstd: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and clean up state allocation on
fclose failures. Make sure to capture errors set by fclose.
- lz4: Ensure to close the file descriptor even if closing
down the compressor fails, and instead of calling pg_fatal
log the failures using pg_log_error. Make sure to capture
errors set by fclose.
- none: Make sure to catch errors set by fclose.
* read_func / gets_func:
- Make read_func unconditionally return the number of read
bytes instead of making it optional per implementation.
- lz4: Make sure to call throw an error and not return -1
- gzip: gzread returning zero cannot be assumed to indicate
EOF as it is documented to return zero for some types of
errors.
- lz4, zstd: Convert the _read_internal helper functions to
not call pg_fatal on errors to be able to handle gets_func
returning NULL on error.
* getc_func:
- zstd: Use an unsigned char rather than an int to read char
into.
* LZ4Stream_init:
- Make sure to not switch to inited state until we know that
initialization succeeded and reset errno just in case.
On top of these changes there are minor comment cleanups and
improvements as well as an attempt to consistently reset errno
in codepaths where it is inspected.
This work was initiated by a report of API misuse, which turned
into a larger body of work. As this is an internal API these
changes can be backpatched into all affected branches.

the result back to the live_parts local variable, the while loop could

bms_del_member() didn't pfree when the set became empty prior to

For a child relation, we should not assume that its parent's
unique-ified relation (or unique-ified path in v18) always exists. In
cases where all RHS columns that need to be unique-ified are equated
to constants, the unique-ified relation/path for the parent table is
not built, as there are no columns left to unique-ify. Failing to
account for this can result in a SIGSEGV crash during planning.

One mechanism we have for implementing semi-joins is to de-duplicate
the output of the RHS and then treat the join as a plain inner join.
Initial construction of the join's SpecialJoinInfo identifies the
RHS columns that need to be de-duplicated, but later we may find that
some of those don't need to be handled explicitly, either because
they're known to be constant or because they are redundant with some
previous column.
Up to now, while sort-based de-duplication handled such cases well,
hash-based de-duplication didn't: we'd still hash on all of the
originally-identified columns. This is probably not a very big
deal performance-wise, but in the wake of commit a3179ab69 it can
cause planner errors. That happens when join elimination causes
recalculation of variables' attr_needed bitmapsets, and we decide
that a variable mentioned in a semijoin clause doesn't need to be
propagated up to the join level anymore.
There are a number of ways we could slice the blame for this, but the
only fix that doesn't result in pessimizing plans for loosely-related
cases is to be more careful about not hashing columns we don't
actually need to de-duplicate. We can install that consideration
into create_unique_paths in master, or the predecessor code in
create_unique_path in v18, without much refactoring.
(As follow-up work, it might be a good idea to look at more-invasive
refactoring, in hopes of preventing other bugs in this area. But
with v18 release so close, there's not time for that now, nor would
we be likely to want to put such refactoring into v18 anyway.)

During an investigation into rather odd aio related errors on macos, observed
by Alexander and Konstantin, we started to wonder if bitfield access is
related to the error. At the moment it looks like it is related, we cannot
reproduce the failures when replacing the bitfields. In addition, the problem
can only be reproduced with some compiler [versions] and not everyone has been
able to reproduce the issue.
The observed problem is that, very rarely, PgAioHandle->{state,target} are in
an inconsistent state, after having been checked to be in a valid state not
long before, triggering an assertion failure. Unfortunately, this could be
caused by wrong compiler code generation or somehow of missing memory barriers
- we don't really know. In theory there should not be any concurrent write
access to the handle in the state the bug is triggered, as the handle was idle
and is just being initialized.
Separately from the bug, we observed that at least gcc and clang generate
rather terrible code for the bitfield access. Even if it's not clear if the
observed assertion failure is actually caused by the bitfield somehow, the bad
code generation alone is sufficient reason to stop using bitfields.
Therefore, replace the enum bitfields with uint8s and instead cast in each
switch statement.

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.
