This patch reverts all the code changes of commit e76de8861, which turns
out to have been seriously misguided. We can't wait till later to compute
the definition string for an index; we must capture that before applying
the data type change for any column it depends on, else ruleutils.c will
deliverr wrong/misleading results. (This fine point was documented
nowhere, of course.)
I'd also managed to forget that ATExecAlterColumnType executes once per
ALTER COLUMN TYPE clause, not once per statement; which resulted in the
code being basically completely broken for any case in which multiple ALTER
COLUMN TYPE clauses are applied to a table having non-constraint indexes
that must be rebuilt. Through very bad luck, none of the existing test
cases nor the ones added by e76de8861 caught that, but of course it was
soon found in the field.
The previous patch also had an implicit assumption that if a constraint's
index had a dependency on a table column, so would the constraint --- but
that isn't actually true, so it didn't fix such cases.
Instead of trying to delete unneeded index dependencies later, do the
is-there-a-constraint lookup immediately on seeing an index dependency,
and switch to remembering the constraint if so. In the unusual case of
multiple column dependencies for a constraint index, this will result in
duplicate constraint lookups, but that's not that horrible compared to all
the other work that happens here. Besides, such cases did not work at all
before, so it's hard to argue that they're performance-critical for anyone.

Commit d7f8d26d9 added a test case that created a user, but forgot
to drop it again. This is no good; for one thing, it causes repeated
"make installcheck" runs to fail.
As part of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, this formerly internal-only error
message becomes potentially user-visible (see regression tests), so
change from errmsg_internal() to errmsg(), and update comment.
The multivariate MCV estimation code may run user-defined operators on
the values in the MCV list, which means that those operators may
potentially leak the values from the MCV list. Guard against leaking
data to unprivileged users by checking that the user has SELECT
privileges on the table or all of the columns referred to by the
statistics.
Additionally, if there are any securityQuals on the RTE (either due to
RLS policies on the table, or accessing the table via a security
barrier view), not all rows may be visible to the current user, even
if they have table or column privileges. Thus we further insist that
the operator be leakproof in this case.

Original MIPS-I processors didn't have the LL/SC instructions (nor any
other userland synchronization primitive). If the build toolchain
targets that ISA variant by default, as an astonishingly large fraction
of MIPS platforms still do, the assembler won't take LL/SC without
coercion in the form of a ".set mips2" instruction. But we issued that
unconditionally, making it an ISA downgrade for chips later than MIPS2.
That breaks things for the latest MIPS r6 ISA, which encodes these
instructions differently. Adjust the code so we don't change ISA level
if it's >= 2.
Note that this patch doesn't change what happens on an actual MIPS-I
processor: either the kernel will emulate these instructions
transparently, or you'll get a SIGILL failure. That tradeoff seemed
fine in 2002 when this code was added (cf 3cbe6b247), and it's even
more so today when MIPS-I is basically extinct. But let's add a
comment about that.

This puts back reverted commit de87a084c0, with some bug fixes.
When two (or more) transactions are waiting for transaction T1 to release a
tuple-level lock, and transaction T1 upgrades its lock to a higher level, a
spurious deadlock can be reported among the waiting transactions when T1
finishes. The simplest example case seems to be:
T1: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
Y: select id from job where name = 'a' for update; -- starts waiting for T1
Z: select id from job where name = 'a' for key share;
T1: update job set name = 'b' where id = 1;
Z: update job set name = 'c' where id = 1; -- starts waiting for T1
T1: rollback;
At this point, transaction Y is rolled back on account of a deadlock: Y
holds the heavyweight tuple lock and is waiting for the Xmax to be released,
while Z holds part of the multixact and tries to acquire the heavyweight
lock (per protocol) and goes to sleep; once T1 releases its part of the
multixact, Z is awakened only to be put back to sleep on the heavyweight
lock that Y is holding while sleeping. Kaboom.
This can be avoided by having Z skip the heavyweight lock acquisition. As
far as I can see, the biggest downside is that if there are multiple Z
transactions, the order in which they resume after T1 finishes is not
guaranteed.
Backpatch to 9.6. The patch applies cleanly on 9.5, but the new tests don't

Regular per-column statistics are stored in pg_statistics catalog, which
is however rather difficult to read, so we also have pg_stats view with
a human-reablable version of the data.
For extended statistic the catalog was fairly easy to read, so we did
not have such human-readable view so far. Commit 9b6babfa2d however did
split the catalog into two, which makes querying harder. Furthermore,
we want to show the multi-column MCV list in a way similar to per-column
stats (and not as a bytea value).
This commit introduces pg_stats_ext view, joining the two catalogs and
massaging the data to produce human-readable output similar to pg_stats.
It also considers RLS and access privileges - the data is shown only when
the user has access to all columns the extended statistic is defined on.

Since extended statistic got introduced in PostgreSQL 10, there was a
single catalog pg_statistic_ext storing both the definitions and built
statistic. That's however problematic when a user is supposed to have
access only to the definitions, but not to user data.
Consider for example pg_dump on a database with RLS enabled - if the
pg_statistic_ext catalog respects RLS (which it should, if it contains
user data), pg_dump would not see any records and the result would not
define any extended statistics. That would be a surprising behavior.
Until now this was not a pressing issue, because the existing types of
extended statistic (functional dependencies and ndistinct coefficients)
do not include any user data directly. This changed with introduction
of MCV lists, which do include most common combinations of values.
The easiest way to fix this is to split the pg_statistic_ext catalog
into two - one for definitions, one for the built statistic values.
The new catalog is called pg_statistic_ext_data, and we're maintaining
a 1:1 relationship with the old catalog - either there are matching
records in both catalogs, or neither of them.

tzdb 2019a made "UCT" a link to the "UTC" zone rather than a separate
zone with its own abbreviation. Unfortunately, our code for choosing a
timezone in initdb has an arbitrary preference for names earlier in
the alphabet, and so it would choose the spelling "UCT" over "UTC"
when the system is running on a UTC zone.
Commit 23bd3cec6 was backpatched in order to address this issue, but
that code helps only when /etc/localtime exists as a symlink, and does
nothing to help on systems where /etc/localtime is a copy of a zone
file (as is the standard setup on FreeBSD and probably some other
platforms too) or when /etc/localtime is simply absent (giving UTC as
the default).
Accordingly, add a preference for the spelling "UTC", such that if
multiple zone names have equally good content matches, we prefer that
name before applying the existing arbitrary rules. Also add a slightly
lower preference for "Etc/UTC"; lower because that preserves the
previous behaviour of choosing the shorter name, but letting us still
choose "Etc/UTC" over "Etc/UCT" when both exist but "UTC" does
not (not common, but I've seen it happen).
Backpatch all the way, because the tzdb change that sparked this issue
is in those branches too.
Fixes some problems introduced by 6e5f8d489a:
* When reusing conninfo data from the previous connection in \connect,
the host address should only be reused if it was specified as
hostaddr; if it wasn't, then 'host' is resolved afresh. We were
reusing the same IP address, which ignores a possible DNS change
as well as any other addresses that the name resolves to than the
one that was used in the original connection.
* PQhost, PQhostaddr: Don't present user-specified hostaddr when we have
an inet_net_ntop-produced equivalent address. The latter has been
put in canonical format, which is cleaner (so it produces "127.0.0.1"
when given "host=2130706433", for example).

If an EquivalenceClass member expression includes variables from
multiple appendrels, then instead of producing one substituted
expression per child relation as intended, we'd create additional
child expressions for combinations of children of different appendrels.
This happened because the child expressions generated while considering
the first appendrel were taken as sources during substitution of the
second appendrel, and so on. The extra expressions are useless, and are
harmless unless there are too many of them --- but if you have several
appendrels with a thousand or so members each, it gets bad fast.
To fix, consider only original (non-em_is_child) EC members as candidates
to be expanded. This requires the ability to substitute directly from a
top parent relation's Vars to those of an indirect descendant relation,
but we already have that in adjust_appendrel_attrs_multilevel().
Per bug #15847 from Feike Steenbergen. This is a longstanding misbehavior,
but it's only worth worrying about when there are more appendrel children
than we've historically considered wise to use. So I'm not going to take
the risk of back-patching this.

ATExecAlterColumnType failed to consider the possibility that an index
that needs to be rebuilt might be a child of a constraint that needs to be
rebuilt. We missed this so far because usually a constraint index doesn't
have a direct dependency on its table, just on the constraint object.
But if there's a WHERE clause, then dependency analysis of the WHERE
clause results in direct dependencies on the column(s) mentioned in WHERE.
This led to trying to drop and rebuild both the constraint and its
underlying index.
In v11/HEAD, we successfully drop both the index and the constraint,
and then try to rebuild both, and of course the second rebuild hits a
duplicate-index-name problem. Before v11, it fails with obscure messages
about a missing relation OID, due to trying to drop the index twice.
This is essentially the same kind of problem noted in commit
20bef2c31: the possible dependency linkages are broader than what
ATExecAlterColumnType was designed for. It was probably OK when
written, but it's certainly been broken since the introduction of
partial exclusion constraints. Fix by adding an explicit check
for whether any of the indexes-to-be-rebuilt belong to any of the
constraints-to-be-rebuilt, and ignoring any that do.
In passing, fix a latent bug introduced by commit 8b08f7d48: in
get_constraint_index() we must "continue" not "break" when rejecting
a relation of a wrong relkind. This is harmless today because we don't
expect that code path to be taken anyway; but if there ever were any
relations to be ignored, the existing coding would have an extremely
undesirable dependency on the order of pg_depend entries.
Also adjust a couple of obsolete comments.

For a non-superuser, changing a comment on a domain constraint was
leading to a cache lookup failure as the code tried to perform the
ownership lookup on the constraint OID itself, thinking that it was a

directly based on the constraint OID, first fetch its type OID and

Backpatch: 9.4-
Using PARTITION OF can result in column ordering being changed from the
database being dumped, if the partition uses a column layout different
from the parent's. It's not pg_dump's job to editorialize on table
definitions, so this is not acceptable; back-patch all the way back to
pg10, where partitioned tables where introduced.
This change also ensures that partitions end up in the correct
tablespace, if different from the parent's; this is an oversight in
ca4103025d (in pg12 only). Partitioned indexes (in pg11) don't have
this problem, because they're already created as independent indexes and
attached to their parents afterwards.
This change also has the advantage that the partition is restorable from
the dump (as a standalone table) even if its parent table isn't
restored.
The original commits (3b23552ad8 in branch master) failed to cover
subsidiary column elements correctly, such as NOT NULL constraint and
CHECK constraints, as reported by Rushabh Lathia (initially as a failure
to restore serial columns). They were reverted. This recapitulation

including constraints with legacy-inheritance tables, which were not
tested originally. In branches 10 and 11, add a local constraint to the
