Attempting to use commit timestamps during bootstrapping leads to an
assertion failure, that can be reached for example with an initdb -c
that enables track_commit_timestamp. It makes little sense to register
a commit timestamp for a BootstrapTransactionId, so let's disable the
activation of the module in this case.
This problem has been independently reported once by each author of this
commit. Each author has proposed basically the same patch, relying on
IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to skip the use of commit_ts during
bootstrap. The test addition is a suggestion by me, and is applied down
to v16.

Commits 8319e5cb5 et al missed the fact that ATPostAlterTypeCleanup
contains three calls to ATPostAlterTypeParse, and the other two
also need protection against passing a relid that we don't yet
have lock on. Add similar logic to those code paths, and add
some test cases demonstrating the need for it.
In v18 and master, the test cases demonstrate that there's a
behavioral discrepancy between stored generated columns and virtual
generated columns: we disallow changing the expression of a stored
column if it's used in any composite-type columns, but not that of
a virtual column. Since the expression isn't actually relevant to
either sort of composite-type usage, this prohibition seems
unnecessary; but changing it is a matter for separate discussion.
For now we are just documenting the existing behavior.

Commit c120550edb optimized the vacuuming of relations without
indexes (a.k.a. one-pass strategy) by directly marking dead item IDs
as LP_UNUSED. However, the periodic FSM vacuum was still checking if
dead item IDs had been marked as LP_DEAD when attempting to vacuum the
FSM every VACUUM_FSM_EVERY_PAGES blocks. This condition was never met
due to the optimization, resulting in missed FSM vacuum
opportunities.
This commit modifies the periodic FSM vacuum condition to use the
number of tuples deleted during HOT pruning. This count includes items
marked as either LP_UNUSED or LP_REDIRECT, both of which are expected
to result in new free space to report.
Back-patch to v17 where the vacuum optimization for tables with no
indexes was introduced.

Sometimes a table's constraint may depend on a column of another
table, so that we have to update the constraint when changing the
referenced column's type. We need to have lock on the constraint's
table to do that. ATPostAlterTypeCleanup believed that this case
was only possible for FOREIGN KEY constraints, but it's wrong at
least for CHECK and EXCLUDE constraints; and in general, we'd
probably need exclusive lock to alter any sort of constraint.
So just remove the contype check and acquire lock for any other
table. This prevents a "you don't have lock" assertion failure,
though no ill effect is observed in production builds.
We'll error out later anyway because we don't presently support
physically altering column types within stored composite columns.
But the catalog-munging is basically all there, so we may as well
make that part work.

This fixes two issues with the handling of VacuumParams in vacuum_rel().
This code path has the idea to change the passed-in pointer of
VacuumParams for the "truncate" and "index_cleanup" options for the
relation worked on, impacting the two following scenarios where
incorrect options may be used because a VacuumParams pointer is shared
across multiple relations:
- Multiple relations in a single VACUUM command.
- TOAST relations vacuumed with their main relation.
The problem is avoided by providing to the two callers of vacuum_rel()
copies of VacuumParams, before the pointer is updated for the "truncate"
and "index_cleanup" options.
The refactoring of the VACUUM option and parameters done in 0d83138974
did not introduce an issue, but it has encouraged the problem we are
dealing with in this commit, with b84dbc8eb8 for "truncate" and
a96c41feec for "index_cleanup" that have been added a couple of years
after the initial refactoring. HEAD will be improved with a different
patch that hardens the uses of VacuumParams across the tree. This
cannot be backpatched as it introduces an ABI breakage.
The backend portion of the patch has been authored by Nathan, while I
have implemented the tests. The tests rely on injection points to check
the option values, making them faster, more reliable than the tests
originally proposed by Shihao, and they also provide more coverage.
This part can only be backpatched down to v17.

The logical replication launcher process would sometimes sleep
for as much as 3 minutes before noticing that it is supposed
to launch a new worker. This could happen if
(1) WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach absorbed a process latch wakeup
that was meant to cause ApplyLauncherMain to do work, or
(2) logicalrep_worker_launch reported failure, either because of
resource limits or because the new worker terminated immediately.
In case (2), the expected behavior is that we retry the launch after
wal_retrieve_retry_interval, but that didn't reliably happen.
It's not clear how often such conditions would occur in the field,
but in our subscription test suite they are somewhat common,
especially in tests that exercise cases that cause quick worker
failure. That causes the tests to take substantially longer than
they ought to do on typical setups.
To fix (1), make WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach re-set the latch
before returning if it cleared it while looping. To fix (2), ensure
that we reduce wait_time to no more than wal_retrieve_retry_interval
when logicalrep_worker_launch reports failure. In passing, fix a
couple of perhaps-hypothetical race conditions, e.g. examining
worker->in_use without a lock.
Backpatch to v16. Problem (2) didn't exist before commit 5a3a95385
because the previous code always set wait_time to
wal_retrieve_retry_interval when launching a worker, regardless of
success or failure of the launch. That behavior also greatly
mitigated problem (1), so I'm not excited about adapting the remainder
of the patch to the substantially-different code in older branches.

While choosing an autogenerated name for an index, look for
pre-existing relations using a SnapshotDirty snapshot, instead of the
previous behavior that considered only committed-good pg_class rows.
This allows us to detect and avoid conflicts against indexes that are
still being built.
It's still possible to fail due to a race condition, but the window
is now just the amount of time that it takes DefineIndex to validate
all its parameters, call smgrcreate(), and enter the index's pg_class
row. Formerly the race window covered the entire time needed to
create and fill an index, which could be very long if the table is
large. Worse, if the conflicting index creation is part of a larger
transaction, it wouldn't be visible till COMMIT.
So this isn't a complete solution, but it should greatly ameliorate
the problem, and the patch is simple enough to be back-patchable.
It might at some point be useful to do the same for pg_constraint
entries (cf. ChooseConstraintName, ConstraintNameExists, and related
functions). However, in the absence of field complaints, I'll leave
that alone for now. The relation-name test should be good enough for
index-based constraints, while foreign-key constraints seem to be okay
since they require exclusive locks to create.

Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages
from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress
transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its
original invalidation messages but also previously distributed
messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase
in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately
causing memory allocation failure.
This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation
messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing
these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of
distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is
limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the
distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we
invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation
messages need to be executed.
Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by
commit 4909b38af0.
Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store
the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in
back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the
size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems
unlikely.
Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of
ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message
overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is
unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags
field.

The patch fixes the issue with the unexpected removal of old WAL segments
after checkpoint, followed by an immediate restart. The issue occurs when
a slot is advanced after the start of the checkpoint and before old WAL
segments are removed at the end of the checkpoint.
The idea of the patch is to get the minimal restart_lsn at the beginning
of checkpoint (or restart point) creation and use this value when calculating
the oldest LSN for WAL segments removal at the end of checkpoint. This idea
was proposed by Tomas Vondra in the discussion. Unlike 291221c46575, this
fix doesn't affect ABI and is intended for back branches.

Teach nbtree's _bt_killitems to leave the so->currPos page that it sets
LP_DEAD items on in whatever state it was in when _bt_killitems was
called. In particular, make sure that so->dropPin scans don't acquire a
pin whose reference is saved in so->currPos.buf.
Allowing _bt_killitems to change so->currPos.buf like this is wrong.
The immediate consequence of allowing it is that code in _bt_steppage
(that copies so->currPos into so->markPos) will behave as if the scan is
a !so->dropPin scan. so->markPos will therefore retain the buffer pin
indefinitely, even though _bt_killitems only needs to acquire a pin
(along with a lock) for long enough to mark known-dead items LP_DEAD.
This issue came to light following a report of a failure of an assertion
from recent commit e6eed40e. The test case in question involves the use
of mark and restore. An initial call to _bt_killitems takes place that
leaves so->currPos.buf in a state that is inconsistent with the scan
being so->dropPin. A subsequent call to _bt_killitems for the same
position (following so->currPos being saved in so->markPos, and then
restored as so->currPos) resulted in the failure of an assertion that
tests that so->currPos.buf is InvalidBuffer when the scan is so->dropPin
(non-assert builds got a "resource was not closed" WARNING instead).
The same problem exists on earlier releases, though the issue is far
more subtle there. Recent commit e6eed40e introduced the so->dropPin
field as a partial replacement for testing so->currPos.buf directly.
Earlier releases won't get an assertion failure (or buffer pin leak),
but they will allow the second _bt_killitems call from the test case to
behave as if a buffer pin was consistently held since the original call
to _bt_readpage. This is wrong; there will have been an initial window
during which no pin was held on the so->currPos page, and yet the second
_bt_killitems call will neglect to check if so->currPos.lsn continues to
match the page's now-current LSN.
As a result of all this, it's just about possible that _bt_killitems
will set the wrong items LP_DEAD (on release branches). This could only
happen with merge joins (the sole user of nbtree mark/restore support),
when a concurrently inserted index tuple used a recently-recycled TID
(and only when the new tuple was inserted onto the same page as a
distinct concurrently-removed tuple with the same TID). This is exactly
the scenario that _bt_killitems' check of the page's now-current LSN
against the LSN stashed in currPos was supposed to prevent.
A follow-up commit will make nbtree completely stop conditioning whether
or not a position's pin needs to be dropped on whether the 'buf' field
is set. All call sites that might need to drop a still-held pin will be
taught to rely on the scan-level so->dropPin field recently introduced
by commit e6eed40e. That will make bugs of the same general nature as
this one impossible (or make them much easier to detect, at least).

Traditionally, libpq's pqPutMsgEnd has rounded down the amount-to-send
to be a multiple of 8K when it is eagerly writing some data. This
still seems like a good idea when sending through a Unix socket, as
pipes typically have a buffer size of 8K or some fraction/multiple of
that. But there's not much argument for it on a TCP connection, since
(a) standard MTU values are not commensurate with that, and (b) the
kernel typically applies its own packet splitting/merging logic.
Worse, our SSL and GSSAPI code paths both have API stipulations that
if they fail to send all the data that was offered in the previous
write attempt, we mustn't offer less data in the next attempt; else
we may get "SSL error: bad length" or "GSSAPI caller failed to
retransmit all data needing to be retried". The previous write
attempt might've been pqFlush attempting to send everything in the
buffer, so pqPutMsgEnd can't safely write less than the full buffer
contents. (Well, we could add some more state to track exactly how
much the previous write attempt was, but there's little value evident
in such extra complication.) Hence, apply the round-down only on
AF_UNIX sockets, where we never use SSL or GSSAPI.
Interestingly, we had a very closely related bug report before,
which I attempted to fix in commit d053a879b. But the test case
we had then seemingly didn't trigger this pqFlush-then-pqPutMsgEnd
scenario, or at least we failed to recognize this variant of the bug.

A cascading WAL sender doing logical decoding (as known as doing its
work on a standby) has been using as flush LSN the value returned by
GetStandbyFlushRecPtr() (last position safely flushed to disk). This is
incorrect as such processes are only able to decode changes up to the
LSN that has been replayed by the startup process.
This commit changes cascading logical WAL senders to use the replay LSN,
as returned by GetXLogReplayRecPtr(). This distinction is important
particularly during shutdown, when WAL senders need to send any
remaining available data to their clients, switching WAL senders to a
caught-up state. Using the latest flush LSN rather than the replay LSN
could cause the WAL senders to be stuck in an infinite loop preventing
them to shut down, as the startup process does not run when WAL senders
attempt to catch up, so they could keep waiting for work that would
never happen.

When a MERGE's target table is the parent of an inheritance tree, any
INSERT actions insert into the parent table using ModifyTableState's
rootResultRelInfo. However, there are two bugs in the way this is
initialized:
1. ExecInitMerge() incorrectly uses a different ResultRelInfo entry
from ModifyTableState's resultRelInfo array to build the insert
projection, which may not be compatible with rootResultRelInfo.
2. ExecInitModifyTable() does not fully initialize rootResultRelInfo.
Specifically, ri_WithCheckOptions, ri_WithCheckOptionExprs,
ri_returningList, and ri_projectReturning are not initialized.
This can lead to crashes, or incorrect query results due to failing to
check WCO's or process the RETURNING list for INSERT actions.
Fix both these bugs in ExecInitMerge(), noting that it is only
necessary to fully initialize rootResultRelInfo if the MERGE has
INSERT actions and the target table is a plain inheritance parent.

A few places that access system catalogs don't set up an active
snapshot before potentially accessing their TOAST tables. To fix,
push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might
require accessing one of these TOAST tables, and pop it shortly
afterwards. While at it, this commit adds some rather strict
assertions in an attempt to prevent such issues in the future.
Commit 16bf24e0e4 recently removed pg_replication_origin's TOAST
table in order to fix the same problem for that catalog. On the
back-branches, those bugs are left in place. We cannot easily
remove a catalog's TOAST table on released major versions, and only
replication origins with extremely long names are affected. Given
the low severity of the issue, fixing older versions doesn't seem
worth the trouble of significantly modifying the patch.
Also, on v13 and v14, the aforementioned strict assertions have
been omitted because commit 2776922201, which added
HaveRegisteredOrActiveSnapshot(), was not back-patched. While we
could probably back-patch it now, I've opted against it because it

Our GSSAPI code only allows packet sizes up to 16kB. However it
emerges that during authentication, larger packets might be needed;
various authorities suggest 48kB or 64kB as the maximum packet size.
This limitation caused login failure for AD users who belong to many
AD groups. To add insult to injury, we gave an unintelligible error
message, typically "GSSAPI context establishment error: The routine
must be called again to complete its function: Unknown error".
As noted in code comments, the 16kB packet limit is effectively a
protocol constant once we are doing normal data transmission: the
GSSAPI code splits the data stream at those points, and if we change
the limit then we will have cross-version compatibility problems
due to the receiver's buffer being too small in some combinations.
However, during the authentication exchange the packet sizes are
not determined by us, but by the underlying GSSAPI library. So we
might as well just try to send what the library tells us to.
An unpatched recipient will fail on a packet larger than 16kB,
but that's not worse than the sender failing without even trying.
So this doesn't introduce any meaningful compatibility problem.
We still need a buffer size limit, but we can easily make it be
64kB rather than 16kB until transport negotiation is complete.
(Larger values were discussed, but don't seem likely to add
anything.)

Previously, XactLockTableWait() and ConditionalXactLockTableWait() could enter
a non-interruptible loop when they successfully acquired a lock on a transaction
but the transaction still appeared to be running. Since this loop continued
until the transaction completed, it could result in long, uninterruptible waits.
Although this scenario is generally unlikely since XactLockTableWait() and
ConditionalXactLockTableWait() can basically acquire a transaction lock
only when the transaction is not running, it can occur in a hot standby.
In such cases, the transaction may still appear active due to
the KnownAssignedXids list, even while no lock on the transaction exists.
For example, this situation can happen when creating a logical replication
slot on a standby.
The cause of the non-interruptible loop was the absence of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()
within it. This commit adds CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the loop in both functions,
ensuring they can be interrupted safely.

The code that translates SIMILAR TO pattern matching expressions to
POSIX-style regular expressions did not consider that square brackets
can be nested. For example, in an expression like [[:alpha:]%_], the
logic replaced the placeholders '_' and '%' but it should not.
This commit fixes the conversion logic by tracking the nesting level of
square brackets marking character class areas, while considering that
in expressions like []] or [^]] the first closing square bracket is a
regular character. Multiple tests are added to show how the conversions
should or should not apply applied while in a character class area, with
specific cases added for all the characters converted outside character
classes like an opening parenthesis '(', dollar sign '$', etc.

PgStat_StatTabEntry and AutoVacOpts structs were leaked until
the end of the autovacuum worker's run, which is bad news if
there are a lot of relations in the database.
Note: pfree'ing the PgStat_StatTabEntry structs here seems a bit
risky, because pgstat_fetch_stat_tabentry_ext does not guarantee
anything about whether its result is long-lived. It appears okay
so long as autovacuum forces PGSTAT_FETCH_CONSISTENCY_NONE, but
I think that API could use a re-think.
Also ensure that the VacuumRelation structure passed to
vacuum() is in recoverable storage.
Back-patch to v15 where we started to manage table statistics
this way. (The AutoVacOpts leakage is probably older, but
I'm not excited enough to worry about just that part.)

If the inner allocation call returns NULL, we should restore the
previous state and return NULL. Previously this code pfree'd
the old chunk anyway, which is surely wrong.
Also, make it call MemoryContextAllocationFailure rather than
summarily returning NULL. The fact that we got control back from the
inner call proves that MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM was passed, so this change
is just cosmetic, but someday it might be less so.
This is just a latent bug at present: AFAICT no in-core callers use
this function at all, let alone call it with MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM.
Still, it's the kind of bug that might bite back-patched code pretty
hard someday, so let's back-patch to v17 where the bug was introduced

Since commit 8b1dccd37c, the PREPARE TRANSACTION WAL record includes
information about dropped statistics entries. However, the WAL resource
manager description function for PREPARE TRANSACTION record failed to
parse this information correctly and always assumed there were
no such entries.
As a result, for example, pg_waldump could not display the dropped
statistics entries stored in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.
The root cause was that ParsePrepareRecord() did not set the number of
statistics entries to drop on commit or abort. These values remained
zero-initialized and were never updated from the parsed record.
This commit fixes the issue by properly setting those values during parsing.
With this fix, pg_waldump can now correctly report dropped statistics
entries in PREPARE TRANSACTION records.

In the grammar, <expr> is a c_expr, which accepts only a limited set
of integer literals and simple expressions without parens. The
deparsing logic didn't quite match the grammar rule, and failed to use
parens e.g. for "5::bigint".
To fix, always surround the expression with parens. Would be nice to
omit the parens in simple cases, but unfortunately it's non-trivial to
detect such simple cases. Even if the expression is a simple literal
123 in the original query, after parse analysis it becomes a FuncExpr
with COERCE_IMPLICIT_CAST rather than a simple Const.

In an XMLTABLE expression, columns can be marked NOT NULL, and the
parser internally fabricates an option named "is_not_null" to
represent this. However, the parser also allows users to specify
arbitrary option names. This creates a conflict: a user can
explicitly use "is_not_null" as an option name and assign it a
non-Boolean value, which violates internal assumptions and triggers an
assertion failure.
To fix, this patch checks whether a user-supplied name collides with
the internally reserved option name and raises an error if so.
Additionally, the internal name is renamed to "__pg__is_not_null" to
further reduce the risk of collision with user-defined names.

This must be "return MemoryContextAllocationFailure(context, size, flags)"

failure right here, the code would act as though MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM

For self-referencing foreign keys in partitioned tables, we weren't
handling creation of pg_constraint rows during CREATE TABLE PARTITION AS
as well as ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION. This is an old bug -- mostly,
we broke this in 614a406b4f while trying to fix it (so 12.13, 13.9,
14.6 and 15.0 and up all behave incorrectly). This commit reverts part
of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more
tests to verify the parts we broke, not just the catalog contents but
also the user-visible behavior.
Backpatch to all live branches. In branches 13 and 14, commit
46a8c27a72 changed the behavior during DETACH to drop a FK
constraint rather than trying to repair it, because the complete fix of
repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous
fixes. For this reason, the test behavior in those branches is a bit
different. However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly
there.
In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign
keys on partitioned tables be recreated if partitions have been created
or attached after the FK was created, keeping in mind that violating
rows might already be present on the referencing side.

During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in
fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by
vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing
the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an
incorrect value.
Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's
catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward
mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing
the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the
xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for
not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as
running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen
during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in
that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss
seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts.
This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to
prevent the early advancement of xmin.

One place in hash_create() used DynaHashAlloc() as a convenient

DynaHashAlloc() to use MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM (mea culpa). Change

I think that this bug may be unreachable in practice, since we now
always create AllocSets with some space already allocated, so that
an OOM failure here for a non-shared hash table should be impossible
(with a hash table name of reasonable length anyway). And there
aren't enough shared hash tables to make a crash for one of those
probable. Nonetheless it's clearly not operating as designed, so

This assertion, based on pending_since (timestamp used to prevent stats
reports to be too frequent or should a partial flush happen), is reached
when it is found that no data can be flushed but a previous call of
pgstat_report_stat() determined that some stats data has been found as
in need of a flush. So pending_since is set when some stats data is
pending (in non-force mode) or if report attempts are too frequent, and
reset to 0 once all stats have been flushed.
Since 5cbbe70a9c, WAL senders have begun to report their stats on a
periodic basis for IO stats in v16~ and backend stats on HEAD, creating
some friction with the concurrent pgstat_report_stat() calls that can
happen in the context of a WAL sender (shutdown callback doing a final
report or backend-related code paths). This problem is the cause of
spurious failures in the TAP tests.
In theory, this assertion can be also reached in v15, even if that's
very unlikely. For example, a process, say a background worker, could
do periodic and direct stats flushes with concurrent calls of
pgstat_report_stat() that could cause conflicting values of
pending_since. This can be done with WAL or SLRU stats flushes using
pgstat_flush_wal() or pgstat_slru_flush(). HEAD makes this situation
easier to happen with custom cumulative stats.
This commit removes the assertion altogether, per discussion, as it is
more useful to keep the state of things as they are for the WAL sender.
The assertion could use a special state based on for example
am_walsender, but I doubt that this would be meaningful in the long run
based on the other arguments raised while discussing this issue.

1349d2790 added support so that aggregate functions with an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause could make use of presorted inputs to avoid an implicit
sort within nodeAgg.c. That commit failed to consider that a FILTER
clause may exist that filters rows before the aggregate function
arguments are evaluated. That can be problematic if an aggregate
argument contains an expression which could error out during evaluation.
It's perfectly valid to want to have a FILTER clause which eliminates
such values, and with the pre-sorted path added in 1349d2790, it was
possible that the planner would produce a plan with a Sort node above
the Aggregate to perform the sort on the aggregate's arguments long before
the Aggregate node would filter out the non-matching values.
Here we fix this by inspecting ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions
which have a FILTER clause to see if the aggregate's arguments are
anything more complex than a Var or a Const. Evaluating these isn't
going to cause an error. If we find any non-Var, non-Const parameters
then the planner will now opt to perform the sort in the Aggregate node
for these aggregates, i.e. disable the presorted aggregate optimization.
An alternative fix would have been to completely disallow the presorted
optimization for Aggrefs with any FILTER clause, but that wasn't done as
that could cause large performance regressions for queries that see
significant gains from 1349d2790 due to presorted results coming in from
an Index Scan.

If a GENERATED column is declared to have a domain data type where
the domain's constraints disallow null values, INSERT commands failed
because we built a targetlist that included coercing a null constant
to the domain's type. The failure occurred even when the generated
value would have been perfectly OK. This is adjacent to the issues
fixed in 0da39aa76, but we didn't notice for lack of testing a domain
with such a constraint.
We aren't going to use the result of the targetlist entry for the
generated column --- ExecComputeStoredGenerated will overwrite it.
So it's not really necessary that it have the exact datatype of
the generated column. This patch fixes the problem by changing
the targetlist entry to be a null Const of the domain's base type,
which should be sufficiently legal. (We do have to tweak
ExecCheckPlanOutput to accept the situation, though.)
This has been broken since we implemented generated columns.
However, this patch only applies easily as far back as v14, partly
because I (tgl) only carried 0da39aa76 back that far, but mostly
because v14 significantly refactored the handling of INSERT/UPDATE
targetlists. Given the lack of field complaints and the short
remaining support lifetime of v13, I judge the cost-benefit ratio
not good for devising a version that would work in v13.

Commit 0f21db36d made an assumption that GIN triConsistentFns
would not modify their input entryRes[] arrays. But in fact,
the "shim" triConsistentFn that we use for opclasses that don't
supply their own did exactly that, potentially leading to wrong
answers from a GIN index search. Through bad luck, none of the
test cases that we have for such opclasses exposed the bug.
One response to this could be that the assumption of consistency check
functions not modifying entryRes[] arrays is a bad one, but it still
seems reasonable to me. Notably, shimTriConsistentFn is itself
assuming that with respect to the underlying boolean consistentFn,
so it's sure being self-centered in supposing that it gets to do so.
Fortunately, it's quite simple to fix shimTriConsistentFn to restore
the entry-time state of entryRes[], so let's do that instead.
This issue doesn't affect any core GIN opclasses, since they all
supply their own triConsistentFns. It does affect contrib modules
btree_gin, hstore, and intarray.
Along the way, I (tgl) noticed that shimTriConsistentFn failed to
pick up on a "recheck" flag returned by its first call to the boolean
consistentFn. This may be only a latent problem, since it would be
unlikely for a consistentFn to set recheck for the all-false case
and not any other cases. (Indeed, none of our contrib modules do
that.) Nonetheless, it's formally wrong.

synchronous_standby_names cannot be reloaded safely by backends, and the
checkpointer is in charge of updating a state in shared memory if the
GUC is enabled in WalSndCtl, to let the backends know if they should
wait or not for a given LSN. This provides a strict control on the
timing of the waiting queues if the GUC is enabled or disabled, then
reloaded. The checkpointer is also in charge of waking up the backends
that could be waiting for a LSN when the GUC is disabled.
This logic had a race condition at startup, where it would be possible
for backends to not wait for a LSN even if synchronous_standby_names is
enabled. This would cause visibility issues with transactions that we
should be waiting for but they were not. The problem lasts until the
checkpointer does its initial update of the shared memory state when it
loads synchronous_standby_names.
In order to take care of this problem, the shared memory state in
WalSndCtl is extended to detect if it has been initialized by the
checkpointer, and not only check if synchronous_standby_names is
defined. In WalSndCtlData, sync_standbys_defined is renamed to
sync_standbys_status, a bits8 able to know about two states:
- If the shared memory state has been initialized. This flag is set by
the checkpointer at startup once, and never removed.
- If synchronous_standby_names is known as defined in the shared memory
state. This is the same as the previous sync_standbys_defined in
WalSndCtl.
This method gives a way for backends to decide what they should do until
the shared memory area is initialized, and they now ultimately fall back
to a check on the GUC value in this case, which is the best thing that
can be done.
Fortunately, SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined() is called immediately by
the checkpointer when this process starts, so the window is very narrow.
It is possible to enlarge the problematic window by making the
checkpointer wait at the beginning of SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined()
with a hardcoded sleep for example, and doing so has showed that a 2PC
visibility test is indeed failing. On machines slow enough, this bug
would cause spurious failures.
In 17~, we have looked at the possibility of adding an injection point
to have a reproducible test, but as the problematic window happens at
early startup, we would need to invent a way to make an injection point
optionally persistent across restarts when attached, something that
would be fine for this case as it would involve the checkpointer. This
issue is quite old, and can be reproduced on all the stable branches.

Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ...
or ALTER TYPE ... that don't take a strong lock on table happens
concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens
because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent
transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the
changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache
even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the
changes required to be sent to the client.
This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from
catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions.
This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new
changes after concurrent DDL.
We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of
*publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The
regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the
published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to
resolve a longstanding data loss issue.
An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each
affected table during publication modification. However, this would only
address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...)
and require locking every relation in the database for publications
created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical.
The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14.
The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix
for that branch is still under discussion.

WAL senders do not flush their statistics until they exit, limiting the
monitoring possible for live processes. This is penalizing when WAL
senders are running for a long time, like in streaming or logical
replication setups, because it is not possible to know the amount of IO
they generate while running.
This commit makes WAL senders more aggressive with their statistics
flush, using an internal of 1 second, with the flush timing calculated
based on the existing GetCurrentTimestamp() done before the sleeps done
to wait for some activity. Note that the sleep done for logical and
physical WAL senders happens in two different code paths, so the stats
flushes need to happen in these two places.
One test is added for the physical WAL sender case, and one for the
logical WAL sender case. This can be done in a stable fashion by
relying on the WAL generated by the TAP tests in combination with a
stats reset while a server is running, but only on HEAD as WAL data has
been added to pg_stat_io in a051e71e28.
This issue exists since a9c70b46db and the introduction of pg_stat_io,
