adf9808fa9 Allow adjusting session_authorization and role in parallel workers.
The code intends to allow GUCs to be set within parallel workers
via function SET clauses, but not otherwise.  However, doing so fails
for "session_authorization" and "role", because the assign hooks for
those attempt to set the subsidiary "is_superuser" GUC, and that call
falls foul of the "not otherwise" prohibition.  We can't switch to
using GUC_ACTION_SAVE for this, so instead add a new GUC variable
flag GUC_ALLOW_IN_PARALLEL to mark is_superuser as being safe to set
anyway.  (This is okay because is_superuser has context PGC_INTERNAL
and thus only hard-wired calls can change it.  We'd need more thought
before applying the flag to other GUCs; but maybe there are other
use-cases.)  This isn't the prettiest fix perhaps, but other
alternatives we thought of would be much more invasive.

While here, correct a thinko in commit 059de3ca4: when rejecting
a GUC setting within a parallel worker, we should return 0 not -1
if the ereport doesn't longjmp.  (This seems to have no consequences
right now because no caller cares, but it's inconsistent.)  Improve
the comments to try to forestall future confusion of the same kind.

Despite the lack of field complaints, this seems worth back-patching.
Thanks to Nathan Bossart for the idea to invent a new flag,
and for review.

3ad35d5022 Fix "failed to find plan for subquery/CTE" errors in EXPLAIN.
To deparse a reference to a field of a RECORD-type output of a
subquery, EXPLAIN normally digs down into the subquery's plan to try
to discover exactly which anonymous RECORD type is meant.  However,
this can fail if the subquery has been optimized out of the plan
altogether on the grounds that no rows could pass the WHERE quals,
which has been possible at least since 3fc6e2d7f.  There isn't
anything remaining in the plan tree that would help us, so fall back
to printing the field name as "fN" for the N'th column of the record.
(This will actually be the right thing some of the time, since it
matches the column names we assign to RowExprs.)

In passing, fix a comment typo in create_projection_plan, which
I noticed while experimenting with an alternative fix for this.

2ee02c98dd Refuse ATTACH of a table referenced by a foreign key
Trying to attach a table as a partition which is already on the
referenced side of a foreign key on the partitioned table that it is
being attached to, leads to strange behavior: we try to clone the
foreign key from the parent to the partition, but this new FK points to
the partition itself, and the mix of pg_constraint rows and triggers
doesn't behave well.

Rather than trying to untangle the mess (which might be possible given
sufficient time), I opted to forbid the ATTACH.  This doesn't seem a
problematic restriction, given that we already fail to create the
foreign key if you do it the other way around, that is, having the
partition first and the FK second.

bbc94abf66 Restrict accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during pg_dump.
When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.

This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.

To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.

33c5baff66 Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."
This reverts commit 216201027d.

Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change
"client_encoding" during a parallel operation".  It looks like
assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a
client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a
failure.  There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this
during local testing?  In any case, it's clear that moving the
RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought.
Given that the bug f5f30c22e intended to fix has gone unreported
for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not
willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our
next release wrap.

216201027d Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.
Parallel workers failed after a sequence like
	BEGIN;
	CREATE USER foo;
	SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo;
because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted
pg_authid row for "foo".  This is because we ran RestoreGUCState()
in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot.
The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups
and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing.

To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction
after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's.  This affects
check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which
think they should only run during transaction start.  Make them
act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should
silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker.

Also, document that "MOVE count IN cursor" only works if count
is a constant.  This is not the whole truth, because some other
cases such as a parenthesized expression will also work, but
we want to push people to use "MOVE FORWARD count" instead.

3554d841d2 Fix lost Windows socket EOF events.
Winsock only signals an FD_CLOSE event once if the other end of the
socket shuts down gracefully.  Because each WaitLatchOrSocket() call
constructs and destroys a new event handle every time, with unlucky
timing we can lose it and hang.  We get away with this only if the other
end disconnects non-gracefully, because FD_CLOSE is repeatedly signaled
in that case.

To fix this design flaw in our Windows socket support fundamentally,
we'd probably need to rearchitect it so that a single event handle
exists for the lifetime of a socket, or switch to completely different
multiplexing or async I/O APIs.  That's going to be a bigger job
and probably wouldn't be back-patchable.

This brute force kludge closes the race by explicitly polling with
MSG_PEEK before sleeping.

0574825693 Fix ALTER TABLE DETACH for inconsistent indexes
When a partitioned table has an index that doesn't support a constraint,
but a partition has an equivalent index that does, then a DETACH
operation would misbehave: a crash in assertion-enabled systems (because
we fail to find the constraint in the parent that we expect to), or a
broken coninhcount value (-1) in production systems (because we blindly
believe that we've successfully detached the parent).

While we should reject an ATTACH of a partition with such an index, we
have failed to do so in existing releases, so adding an error in stable
releases might break the (unlikely) existing applications that rely on
this behavior.  At this point I don't even want to reject them in
master, because it'd break pg_upgrade if such databases exist, and there
would be no easy way to fix existing databases without expensive index
rebuilds.

(Later on we could add ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX to
partitioned tables, which would allow the user to fix such patterns.  At
that point we could add more restrictions to prevent the problem from
its root.)

Also, add a test case that leaves one table in this condition, so that
we can verify that pg_upgrade continues to work if we later decide to
change the policy on the master branch.

cf2c69ec5a Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes.
When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set
to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on
standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to
find the start point for extracting changes in the
DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial
restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point
must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial
transactions.

Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots
were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even
while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn
and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This
could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there
were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and
assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded
without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit
record.

To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized
snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start
point.

On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be
skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION
has been bumpded.

On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext
instead, preserving on-disk compatibility.

48132587d9 Make our back branches compatible with libxml2 2.13.x.
This back-patches HEAD commits 066e8ac6e, 6082b3d5d, e7192486d,
and 896cd266f into supported branches.  Changes:

* Use xmlAddChildList not xmlAddChild in XMLSERIALIZE
(affects v16 and up only).  This was a flat-out coding mistake
that we got away with due to lax checking in previous versions
of xmlAddChild.

* Use xmlParseInNodeContext not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory.
This is to dodge a bug in xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory in libxm2
releases 2.13.0-2.13.2.  While that bug is now fixed upstream and
will probably never be seen in any production-oriented distro, it is
currently a problem on some more-bleeding-edge-friendly platforms.

* Suppress "chunk is not well balanced" errors from libxml2,
unless it is the only error.  This eliminates an error-reporting
discrepancy between 2.13 and older releases.  This error is
almost always redundant with previous errors, if not flat-out
inappropriate, which is why 2.13 changed the behavior and why
nobody's likely to miss it.

c774d31f84 Choose ports for test servers less likely to result in conflicts
If we choose ports in the range typically used for ephemeral ports there
is a danger of encountering a port conflict due to a race condition
between the time we choose the port in a range below that typically used
to allocate ephemeral ports, but higher than the range typically used by
well known services.

Currently they are started in unix socket mode in ost cases, and then
converted to run in TCP mode. This can result in port collisions, and
there is no virtue in startng in unix socket mode, so start as we will

ece2969266 Fix scale clamping in numeric round() and trunc().
The numeric round() and trunc() functions clamp the scale argument to
the range between +/- NUMERIC_MAX_RESULT_SCALE (2000), which is much
smaller than the actual allowed range of type numeric. As a result,
they return incorrect results when asked to round/truncate more than
2000 digits before or after the decimal point.

Fix by using the correct upper and lower scale limits based on the
actual allowed (and documented) range of type numeric.

While at it, use the new NUMERIC_WEIGHT_MAX constant instead of
SHRT_MAX in all other overflow checks, and fix a comment thinko in
power_var() introduced by e54a758d24 -- the minimum value of
ln_dweight is -NUMERIC_DSCALE_MAX (-16383), not -SHRT_MAX, though this
doesn't affect the point being made in the comment, that the resulting
local_rscale value may exceed NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000).

Back-patch to all supported branches.

440aedc0fb Cope with <regex.h> name clashes.
macOS 15's SDK pulls in headers related to <regex.h> when we include
<xlocale.h>.  This causes our own regex_t implementation to clash with
the OS's regex_t implementation.  Luckily our function names already had
pg_ prefixes, but the macros and typenames did not.

Include <regex.h> explicitly on all POSIX systems, and fix everything
that breaks.  Then we can prove that we are capable of fully hiding and
replacing the system regex API with our own.

1.  Deal with standard-clobbering macros by undefining them all first.
POSIX says they are "symbolic constants".  If they are macros, this
allows us to redefine them.  If they are enums or variables, our macros
will hide them.

2.  Deal with standard-clobbering types by giving our types pg_
prefixes, and then using macros to redirect xxx_t -> pg_xxx_t.

After including our "regex/regex.h", the system <regex.h> is hidden,
because we've replaced all the standard names.  The PostgreSQL source
tree and extensions can continue to use standard prefix-less type and
macro names, but reach our implementation, if they included our
"regex/regex.h" header.

Back-patch to all supported branches, so that macOS 15's tool chain can
build them.

cfac450378 Doc: small improvements in discussion of geometric data types.
State explicitly that the coordinates in our geometric data types are
float8.  Also explain that polygons store their bounding box.

While here, fix the table of geometric data types to show type
"line"'s size correctly: it's 24 bytes not 32.  This has somehow
escaped notice since that table was made in 1998.

Per suggestion from Sebastian Skałacki.  The size error seems
important enough to justify back-patching.

fbe039fa61 doc: Specify when ssl_prefer_server_ciphers was added
The ssl_prefer_server_ciphers setting is quite important from a
security point of view, so simply stating that older versions
doesn't have it isn't very helpful.  This adds the version when
the GUC was added to help readers.

Backpatch to all supported versions since this setting has been

5f86cd70d8 Preserve CurrentMemoryContext across notify and sinval interrupts.
ProcessIncomingNotify is called from the main processing loop that
normally runs in MessageContext.  That outer-loop code assumes that
whatever it allocates will be cleaned up when we're done processing
the current client message --- but if we service a notify interrupt,
then whatever gets allocated before the next switch into
MessageContext will be permanently leaked in TopMemoryContext,
because CommitTransactionCommand sets CurrentMemoryContext to
TopMemoryContext.  There are observable leaks associated with
(at least) encoding conversion of incoming queries and parameters
attached to Bind messages.

sinval catchup interrupts have a similar problem.  There might be
others, but I've not identified any other clear cases.

To fix, take care to save and restore CurrentMemoryContext across
the Start/CommitTransactionCommand calls in these functions.

Per bug #18512 from wizardbrony.  Commit to back branches only;
in HEAD, this was dealt with by the riskier but more thoroughgoing
approach in commit 1afe31f03.

7a21306aee Cope with inplace update making catcache stale during TOAST fetch.
This extends ad98fb1422 to invals of
inplace updates.  Trouble requires an inplace update of a catalog having
a TOAST table, so only pg_database was at risk.  (The other catalog on
which core code performs inplace updates, pg_class, has no TOAST table.)
Trouble would require something like the inplace-inval.spec test.
Consider GRANT ... ON DATABASE fetching a stale row from cache and
discarding a datfrozenxid update that vac_truncate_clog() has already
relied upon.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).

b899cde0b8 AccessExclusiveLock new relations just after assigning the OID.
This has no user-visible, important consequences, since other sessions'
catalog scans can't find the relation until we commit.  However, this
unblocks introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a
pg_class row.  CREATE TABLE has been acquiring this lock eventually, but
it can heap_update() pg_class.relchecks earlier.  create_toast_table()
has been acquiring only ShareLock.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported
versions), the plan for the commit relying on the new rule.

1a6d65b64e Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.
Commit 5b562644fe added a comment that
SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock.  When commit
17f206fbc8 extended use of this column to
partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock.  As the latter commit
message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to
relhassubclass=f.  That largely avoids harm from the lock omission.  The
cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks
required to heap_update() a pg_class row.  This might cause more
deadlocks.  It gives minor user-visible benefits:

- If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE
  ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks
  instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated".  (Many cases of
  DDL concurrency still fail that way.)

- Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index.

While not user-visible today, we'll need this if we ever make something
set the flag to false for a partitioned index, like ANALYZE does today
for tables.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions), the plan for
the commit relying on the new rule.  In back branches, add
LockOrStrongerHeldByMe() instead of adding a LockHeldByMe() parameter.
