Commit 0785d1b8b wrote
jsonapi_shlib.o: override CPPFLAGS += -DJSONAPI_USE_PQEXPBUFFER
forgetting that GNU make treats this change to CPPFLAGS as affecting
not only jsonapi_shlib.o, but anything that gets built in pursuit of
building jsonapi_shlib.o. Because of an even more ancient hack
(cf 7143b3e82), that will include jsonapi.o if it's not been built
already. If we do apply this -D switch to jsonapi.o, it gets built
with the wrong expansible-string infrastructure, which manifests
immediately as a link failure in pg_combinebackup and would misbehave
at runtime even if the build somehow completed.
Perhaps remarkably, we'd not seen field reports of build failures
till now, but it's pretty easy to reproduce a mis-build by trying
to build src/common/ with --shuffle and a high -j factor.
To fix, don't modify CPPFLAGS this way; instead make a dedicated
build rule for jsonapi_shlib.o that injects the additional switches.
There might be other places with similar problems, but some desultory
attempts with -j32 --shuffle on a 32-thread CPU didn't find any more
build failures. Also, it looks like the meson build infrastructure
lacks this problem (but I'm no meson expert).

The explanation of aggressive scans claimed that if the multixact
members grows to 2 billion entries, we launch autovacuum even if it's
nominally disabled. That's no longer true; anti-wraparound vacuum is
only triggered if we're in danger of running out of multixids, we no
longer launch it just to shrink the 'members' SLRU. There's no
wraparound danger with 'members' anymore, so it's no worse than if a
user table becomes very bloated.
We do still adjust the freeze threshold though, so that if autovacuum
runs, whether on schedule or as an emergency autovacuum to avoid
wraparound, it will freeze more aggressively if the members SLRU is
large.
I removed the mention of the 4 billion member threshold, even though
that still exists, because the explanation felt misleading. The
aggressiveness is scaled proportionally between 2 and 4 billion
members. At 4 billion it's as aggressive as it gets, but there's no
sudden cliff.
In the passing, fix some comments. Remove obsolete mention of safe
threshold for member storage triggering autovacuum. Secondly, the
freezing cutoff is adjusted to avoid the *members* SLRU from growing
too large.

ReplicationSlotRelease() copied MyProc->statusFlags unconditionally
when resetting PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING, using its pgxactoff to decide
which area to update.
Slot invalidations can be done by the checkpointer or the startup
process, and ReplicationSlotRelease() ignored the fact that pgxactoff is
only meaningful for processes in the proc array, that auxiliary
processes never join. pgxactoff would remain at 0 for these, meaning
that an incorrect set of status flags would be updated.
The consequences of this issue could be various, depending on the
statsFlags lost in the proc slot incorrectly overwritten. Losing
PROC_AFFECTS_ALL_HORIZONS has been mentioned as the worse case, causing
VACUUM to remove rows a standby may needs even if standby feedback is
enabled. Assertions failures are another possibility.
Let's skip the update of statusFlags unless PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING is
set. Nothing but StartupDecodingContext() sets it, and no auxiliary
processes call it.

SJE didn't consider the possibility that two RTEs referencing the
same table have different securityQuals, and might choose to merge
them anyway, thereby possibly losing quals that need to be enforced.
This is a regression introduced by 2ebf25e7d, since before that we
didn't re-generate baserestrictinfo lists from the RTEs' securityQuals
after performing SJE.
To defend against this, only consider SJE between RTEs with the same
checkAsUser values. That solves the problem because the set of
applicable RLS policies depends only on the role that is considered
to be accessing the table, so that the securityQuals must be equal
if the checkAsUser values are. It might also keep us from creating
similar bugs if we ever invent other features that depend on the
accessing role. And it's a lot cheaper than comparing securityQuals
trees themselves would be, not least because we can't sort them so
the preliminary sort step wouldn't help.
(The first proposed solution was to not perform SJE at all on RTEs
with nonempty securityQuals, but that seems rather sad, especially
since such cases worked before 2ebf25e7d. Making the restriction
depend on checkAsUser seems much less likely to interfere with SJE
unnecessarily, since in most cases that'll be the same for all
potentially-mergeable RTEs.)
The added test cases show that SJE is rejected when necessary, and
also demonstrate two quirks of this implementation. One is that if
a removed security qual includes an InitPlan, we'll still attach the
now-unused InitPlan to the plan. That's because SS_process_sublinks
runs before self-join elimination, so the extra InitPlan has already
been made. The other quirk is that we won't merge RTEs having zero
and nonzero checkAsUser fields, even if the calling user matches the
nonzero checkAsUser value so that there is no difference for this
user. That's intentional so that SJE doesn't require having to mark
the plan as caller-dependent.

Previously, pg_locks.waitstart could report the start time of a previous
lock wait for a new wait. For a regular backend, this could happen briefly
before the new start time was stored. On a standby, the startup process could
show the old time throughout the next wait, making it appear to have started
earlier than it did.
This happened because PGPROC->waitStart could remain set after a previous
wait in two cases. First, RemoveFromWaitQueue() did not clear it when a wait
was canceled due to a lock timeout, cancellation, or deadlock. Second, even
after a successful lock grant, ProcWakeup() could clear it before the waiter
stored its new start time.
Fix this by clearing waitStart in RemoveFromWaitQueue() when a failed wait
is removed, at the end of ProcSleep() to handle writes made after
ProcWakeup() cleared it, and in LockErrorCleanup() when an error bypasses
the ProcSleep() reset. This prevents pg_locks.waitstart from showing the
previous wait's time for a new wait.

When ANALYZE imports statistics from a remote server, it fetched/stored
the statistics while still running as the user executing ANALYZE, not as
the foreign table's owner. This is inconsistent with the sampling path,
and it causes a security issue: a role that owns a foreign table but has
no access to the underlying remote data (eg, no access privileges on the
remote server) could obtain that data by having a privileged user run
ANALYZE on the table; the imported statistics like most_common_vals then
expose sampled values from the remote data, as shown in the reproducer
on the discussion thread.
To fix, switch to the foreign table owner's userid in analyze_rel()
before calling the ImportForeignStatistics() routine, mirroring the
identity used by the sampling path. This not only makes the privilege
handling consistent between the sampling/import paths, but also prevents
statistics import from disclosing data the table owner couldn't
otherwise obtain.

ri_FastPathCheck() invokes two functions on the FK values: the
equality operator's function, via the ScanKey the index AM evaluates,
and, when the FK column's type differs from the PK column's, the

ExecInitFunc() when it initializes the generated query, as the
referenced table's owner, but the fast path performed neither check.
Add ri_CheckFunctionPermissions() and call it once the fast-path
metadata is populated, under the switch to the referenced table's
owner, so the checks happen at the same point as the existing relation
permission check. Add a regression test for each function, reaching
the fast path through per-row validation of a new constraint, and
repeat each against a partitioned referenced table, which takes the
SPI path, to show that the two behave identically.

pg_restore_attribute_stats() rejected range_length_histogram,
range_empty_frac and range_bounds_histogram for a column whose type is a
domain over a range or a multirange type. The same issue existed for
most_common_elems and elem_count_histogram for a domain over tsvector.
pg_restore_extended_stats() had the same set of problems for expressions
whose type is a domain over a range, a multirange type, or tsvector.
ANALYZE is able to generate such stats, incorporating the knowledge to
handle domains in the in-core typanalyze callbacks.
This problem is resolved by being more aggressive with the fetch of the
base type of a domain in the early phases of restore for attribute and
extended stats (special tip to Jian He for pointing out the unnecessary
typcache lookups), reflecting on the surrounding helper routines shared
by both code paths. The fix for v18 is local to attribute_stats.c, as
only attribute stats need to be touched.
Tests are included in a fashion consistent with the surroundings. The
consequence of this issue was the rejection of stats that ANALYZE was
able to build, which was not critical but annoying as it would lead to a
gap in the stats restored.

The header comment for this file says it assumes that "the CPU is not
picky about alignment", which we wouldn't really accept for Postgres.
The two functions that have alignment requirements have been hacked in
ways that are inconsistent and yet both ugly. des_setkey just casts
its "const char *" argument to "const uint32 *", relying on the caller
to ensure that that pointer is actually word-aligned, which the caller
does by declaring the buffer as uint32[] and then casting to "char *".
Meanwhile des_cipher carefully memcpy's to and from an internal
uint32[] buffer, which is pretty silly given that what it's passed
must be word-aligned for the benefit of des_setkey. And on top of
that we have a bunch of ugly casting and oddly-written pointer
arithmetic in the caller px_crypt_des. The odd pointer arithmetic
causes warnings about possible buffer overrun when using recent gcc
at -O3 or higher.
Let's clean this up by converting the buffer variable into a union
of a uint8 array and a uint32 array, so that we can remove all these
casts, and also replace the strange loop logic with a simple subscript
variable to satisfy gcc.

When applying the concurrent data changes, REPACK deformed the decoded
tuples with the descriptor of the transient relation. That descriptor
has no "missing" values, because make_new_heap() gives the transient
relation none of the defaults and constraints of the source relation. A
tuple written before an ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN that did not rewrite
the table has fewer attributes than the descriptor, so the missing
values came out as NULL, even in a column declared NOT NULL. If such a
value belongs to the replica identity, the key used to find the target
tuple was NULL too, so the tuple to modify cannot not be found. The
scan key does not remember that a value is NULL, so a pass-by-reference
key would even crash the comparison function. Such tuples will be rare,
because new row versions are normally formed with the current
descriptor. A BEFORE ROW UPDATE trigger returning OLD is one way to
produce one.
Fix by deforming the decoded tuples with the descriptor of the source
relation, which does have the missing values. Tuples formed with it are
still valid for the transient relation, whose attributes are a copy of
the source relation ones. Commit 20d3fe9009 took the same approach
for INSERT and UPDATE in the executor. Expanding the decoded tuple with
heap_expand_tuple() would be the other option, but that is the
workaround of commit ba9f18abd that 20d3fe9009 got rid of, so do not

The sequencesync worker asks the publisher about a batch of sequences,
tagging each one with its position in the worker's own list, and the
publisher returns that position alongside the sequence's data. The
received position is used to subscript the list using list_nth(),
which bounds-checks only on assert builds, so it was possible that an
index we never sent made the worker read a pointer from past the end
of the list and then store the remote last_value through it.
Check the position against the list before using it. No sane publisher
can trigger this, but we should not let a remote server steer a memory
access. An in-range position from another batch still gets through and
would attach one sequence's data to another, but that's a wrong value
rather than a corrupt process.
Also, receive the index as int4 rather than int8. Previously, an
out-of-range int8 value was silently truncated to its lower 32 bits by
DatumGetInt32(), which could turn it into a valid index and defeat the
check.

The fast path's ri_CheckPermissions() called ExecCheckOneRelPerms()
directly, so ExecutorCheckPerms_hook never saw the referenced-table
access that the SPI path's query exposed to it via ExecutorStart().
Modules such as sepgsql that rely on this hook therefore lost control
over FK checks against referenced tables that go through the fast
path.
So, build a one-entry range table and permission-info list and call
ExecCheckPermissions(). The hook now sees the same relation and
requiredPerms as before, once per check that goes through the fast
path. This also drops the shortcut that skipped the column-level
check when table-level privileges sufficed, since the hook must run
regardless. While at it, drop the explicit frees in the old code,
because both callers run ri_CheckPermissions() in a per-tuple context
that is reset after each check, so they were redundant.

SnapBuildInitialSnapshot() converts the snapshot builder's list of
committed transactions into a regular MVCC snapshot, which is then used
with HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC(). However, a snapshot produced that way
and used as an MVCC snapshot can potentially cause data corruption, if
it captures a transaction after it writes its commit WAL record but
before it has updated its CLOG entry: it will be incorrectly used to set
hint bits as if that transaction had aborted.
Fix by having SnapBuildInitialSnapshot() wait until such transactions
have removed themselves from procarray, which guarantees correct
visibility.

historical, so they don't need the waits, but add commentary in that

branch 19, so add a test case that tickles it using that feature in that
branch and master. However, the bug exists in all branches, and in
branch 18 we can add a test with regular logical decoding using
injection points that tickles it. Unfortunately that test cannot be
backpatched to earlier branches for lack of facilities.

Commit 7f25eccf41 added a cross-check between pg_database.datminmxid
and oldestMulti, but because PostgreSQL 9.2 doesn't have datminmxid,
it broke upgrade from version 9.2. Disable the check when upgrading
from 9.2 to fix.
This is for REL_19_STABLE only. Earlier versions don't have the check,
and on 'master' we no longer support upgrading from version 9.2.

MultiXactState->oldestOffset is not maintained during recovery, so
calling pg_get_multixact_stats() in this context would report misleading
information. We could try to work this out by adding this field to the
control file, for example, but such a change would be too invasive at
this stage of the v19 development cycle.
The information of pg_get_multixact_stats() is usually useful to control
the need of some VACUUM or some freezing, operations that cannot happen
on a standby, so the argument to make the function work while recovery
is in progress gets thinner with this point in the balance.
The function is updated to return an ERROR when called under
RecoveryInProgress().

The "initializing" phase was described as expected to be very brief,
but for REPACK (CONCURRENTLY), it also covers enabling and
initializing logical decoding, either of which can take a long
time. Also, the "catch-up" phase includes waiting for the ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE lock needed to swap the files, which was not mentioned.
Adding separate progress phases for these steps is left for v20; for
v19 we only clarify the description.

The heuristic to avoid setting the VM during on-access pruning when
doing so would emit an extra FPI missed a few cases. First it missed
temp and unlogged tables. Those will never emit an FPI, so they can
always set the VM if the page is all-visible. It also missed that if
hint bits are not WAL-logged, setting only the VM passes REGBUF_NO_IMAGE
for an already WAL-logged heap page, forbidding a heap FPI in the WAL
record. A page that has never been WAL-logged still requires a heap FPI.
The third is more subtle: If the page is all-visible, the new prune xid
will be InvalidTransactionId. On-access pruning only executes when the
current pd_prune_xid is valid and visible. So, when on-access pruning
finds the page all-visible, it will always clear pd_prune_xid, modifying
the page.
Knowing this means we can set the VM without emitting an extra heap FPI
in more cases. When hint bits are WAL-logged, if the heap buffer is
clean, modifying pd_prune_xid will emit an FPI if one is required. There
is no reason to try to avoid an FPI by not setting the VM. So, set the
VM in this case. However, when the heap buffer is already dirty,
modifying pd_prune_xid can avoid an FPI; so if the page hasn't been
logged since the last checkpoint, setting it all-visible will emit an
extra heap page FPI. We will still avoid setting the VM in this case.
This is being backpatched to 19 because since 378a216187 pd_prune_xid
is set on insert, and if we execute a prune cycle and skip setting the
VM because of an incorrect heuristic, we have added new wasted work in
PG 19.
This commit adds some tests covering these cases. It also updates one of
the existing temp table tests to avoid exceeding the pin limit. Setting
the VM and FSM on-access when querying temp tables takes more local pins
and can run into the limit with fewer heap buffers pinned.

heapgettup_advance_block() (or heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() in
versions before v16) would incorrectly decrement rs_numblocks when
advancing to the next block. Ordinarily this was fine, but if the TID
Range scan plan was used by a scrollable cursor and the cursor was fetched
backwards enough to result in another block being required, then
rs_numblocks may have reached 0 prematurely resulting in the scan ending
prematurely.

When executing a WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE action in MERGE, if the
tuple from the target table was concurrently deleted, the retry code
would incorrectly execute a WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET action for the
row instead, giving incorrect results.
Fix in ExecMergeMatched() -- when handling a TM_Deleted failure
status, it should only set *matched to false (telling the caller to
execute any WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET actions) if the failed action
was a WHEN MATCHED action. For a failed WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
action, the source tuple did not exist, and the target tuple has just
been deleted, so it should do nothing.
Back-patch to v17, where support for WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
actions was introduced.

Commit 05c4b10fc5 added an alignas specifier, and placed it in the
middle of the declaration, unlike most existing uses, possibly to
avoid the indentation problem recently fixed in commit 884f82ae26.
This placement is valid in C but not in C++, which requires it to be
at the beginning. This results in a warning in g++ and an error in
clang++. Fix by moving it accordingly. The fix for the indentation
problem has been backpatched to support this patch.
pg_bsd_indent doesn't know about alignas(), so a struct member
declared with it is misindented unless it's the first member.
Disguise each alignas(...) call as a plain identifier while
indenting, restoring it afterward. Stash the call's original text
by index rather than embedding it in the placeholder: embedding only
works for a single-token argument, and fails to match at all against
nested parens (e.g. alignas(sizeof(x))) or a line break, silently
skipping the disguise.
This is backpatched to PostgreSQL 19 because it is by coincidence
needed for a bug fix.

A sequencesync worker builds its list of sequences and then processes them
in batches. If ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION removes one of
those sequences in the meantime, the worker updated the local sequence and
then failed while marking it READY, because its catalog row was gone. That
rolled back the batch, and with disable_on_error the entire subscription
was disabled.
The worker now checks that the sequence is still part of the subscription
before updating it, and skips it if not. The check is done under the lock
on the subscription that the refresh also takes, so the row cannot go away
in between.

Backpatch-through: 19, where it was introduced
6dbb490261 combined pruning and freezing in a single WAL record but
unconditionally requested a cleanup lock during replay. Prior to version
17, freeze-only records were replayed under an ordinary exclusive lock.
1252a4ee28 subsequently folded visibility map updates into the same
records, extending the unnecessary cleanup-lock requirement to VM-only
updates starting in version 19.
Request a cleanup lock in redo only when the record actually prunes.
Freezing and visibility updates do not move or remove tuple storage, so
they need not wait for other buffer pins to be released. This avoids
unnecessary replay delays and cancellation of standby queries holding
buffer pins.
The fix is the same for all versions, though it addresses two oversights
in master/19 and one in 18/17.

Before pruning a heap page, we get the current status of the
corresponding VM page. If the passed in vmbuffer isn't the right one,
visibilitymap_get_status() will silently unpin it and pin the correct
page. Pruning assumes the caller manages the vmbuffer lifecycle, so this
would leave the caller with a stale VM reference and would leak the new
VM pin. To avoid mistakes in development, assert that the correct VM
page is pinned before beginning.

Similar to commit "Remove unused global variables", silence
-Wunused-but-set-global warnings from clang 23 (included in -Wall).
These are variables that are used in assert-enabled builds only, so
annotate them with PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY.
The test added by c62b330912 creates a btree opfamily whose members
include built-in integer operators, which get_mergejoin_opfamilies()
finds regardless of schema. So any concurrently running test that
planned an integer join or sort could pick the family up while it
existed. That's the likely cause of the intermittent plan-shape
changes seen in window.sql and equivclass.sql on the buildfarm after
that commit.
Run the test inside a transaction that is rolled back, so the family
is never committed and never visible to other backends.
