~> (cube, int) operator was especially designed for knn-gist search.
However, it appears that knn-gist search can't work correctly with current
behavior of this operator when dataset contains cubes of variable
dimensionality. In this case, the same value of second operator argument
can point to different dimension depending on dimensionality of particular cube.
Such behavior is incompatible with gist indexing of cubes, and knn-gist doesn't
work correctly for it.
This patch changes behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator by introducing dimension
numbering where value of second argument unambiguously identifies number of
dimension. With new behavior, this operator can be correctly supported by
knn-gist. Relevant changes to cube operator class are also included.
Backpatch to v9.6 where operator was introduced.
Since behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator is changed, depending entities
must be refreshed after upgrade. Such as, expression indexes using this
operator must be reindexed, materialized views must be rebuilt, stored
procedures and client code must be revised to correctly use new behavior.
That should be mentioned in release notes.

These functions are stated to be Oracle-compatible, but they weren't.
Yugo Nagata noticed that while our code returns zero for a zero or
negative fourth parameter (occur_index), Oracle throws an error.
Further testing by me showed that there was also a discrepancy in the
interpretation of a negative third parameter (beg_index): Oracle thinks
that a negative beg_index indicates the last place where the target
substring can *begin*, whereas our code thinks it is the last place
where the target can *end*.
Adjust the sample code to behave like Oracle in both these respects.
Also change it to be a CDATA[] section, simplifying copying-and-pasting
out of the documentation source file. And fix minor problems in the
introductory comment, which wasn't very complete or accurate.

documentation, we should probably call it out as a bug fix in the next

It seems incorrect to assume that the list of CkptSortItems can never
contain duplicate page numbers: concurrent activity could result in some
page getting dropped from a low-numbered buffer and later loaded into a
high-numbered buffer while BufferSync is scanning the buffer pool.
If that happened, the comparator would give self-inconsistent results,
potentially confusing qsort(). Saving one comparison step is not worth
possibly getting the sort wrong.
So far as I can tell, nothing would actually go wrong given our current
implementation of qsort(). It might get a bit slower than expected
if there were a large number of duplicates of one value, but that's
surely a probability-epsilon case. Still, the comment is wrong,
and if we ever switched to another sort implementation it might be
less forgiving.
In passing, avoid casting away const-ness of the argument pointers;
I've not seen any compiler complaints from that, but it seems likely
that some compilers would not like it.

As src/backend/access/transam/README says, PageGetLSN may only be called
by processes holding either exclusive lock on buffer, or a shared lock
on buffer plus buffer header lock. Therefore any place that only holds
a shared buffer lock must use BufferGetLSNAtomic instead of PageGetLSN,
which internally obtains buffer header lock prior to reading the LSN.
A few callsites failed to comply with this rule. This was detected by
running all tests under a new (not committed) assertion that verifies
PageGetLSN locking contract. All but one of the callsites that failed
the assertion are fixed by this patch. Remaining callsites were
inspected manually and determined not to need any change.
The exception (unfixed callsite) is in TestForOldSnapshot, which only
has a Page argument, making it impossible to access the corresponding
Buffer from it. Fixing that seems a much larger patch that will have to
be done separately; and that's just as well, since it was only
introduced in 9.6 and other bugs are much older.
Some of these bugs are ancient; backpatch all the way back to 9.3.

Logical decoding's reorderbuffer.c may spill transaction files to disk
when transactions are large. These are supposed to be removed when they
become "too old" by xid; but file removal requires the boundary LSNs of
the transaction to be known. The final_lsn is only set when we see the
commit or abort record for the transaction, but nothing sets the value
for transactions that crash, so the removal code misbehaves -- in
assertion-enabled builds, it crashes by a failed assertion.
To fix, modify the final_lsn of transactions that don't have a value
set, to the LSN of the very latest change in the transaction. This
causes the spilled files to be removed appropriately.

XactLockTableWait assumed that its xid argument has already added itself
to the lock table. That assumption led to another assumption that if
locking the xid has succeeded but the xid is reported as still in
progress, then the input xid must have been a subtransaction.
These assumptions hold true for the original uses of this code in
locking related to on-disk tuples, but they break down in logical
replication slot snapshot building -- in particular, when a standby
snapshot logged contains an xid that's already in ProcArray but not yet
in the lock table. This leads to assertion failures that can be
reproduced all the way back to 9.4, when logical decoding was
introduced.
To fix, change SubTransGetParent to SubTransGetTopmostTransaction which
has a slightly different API: it returns the argument Xid if there is no
parent, and it goes all the way to the top instead of moving up the
levels one by one. Also, to avoid busy-waiting, add a 1ms sleep to give
the other process time to register itself in the lock table.
For consistency, change ConditionalXactLockTableWait the same way.

Previously an assertion failure occurred when pg_stop_backup() for
non-exclusive backup was aborted while it's waiting for WAL files to
be archived. This assertion failure happened in do_pg_abort_backup()
which was called when a non-exclusive backup was canceled.
do_pg_abort_backup() assumes that there is at least one non-exclusive
backup running when it's called. But pg_stop_backup() can be canceled
even after it marks the end of non-exclusive backup (e.g.,
during waiting for WAL archiving). This broke the assumption that
do_pg_abort_backup() relies on, and which caused an assertion failure.
This commit changes do_pg_abort_backup() so that it does nothing

Backpatch: 9.3-
Previously it was possible that a tuple was not pruned during vacuum,
even though its update xmax (i.e. the updating xid in a multixact with
both key share lockers and an updater) was below the cutoff horizon.
As the freezing code assumed, rightly so, that that's not supposed to
happen, xmax would be preserved (as a member of a new multixact or
xmax directly). That causes two problems: For one the tuple is below
the xmin horizon, which can cause problems if the clog is truncated or
once there's an xid wraparound. The bigger problem is that that will
break HOT chains, which in turn can lead two to breakages: First,
failing index lookups, which in turn can e.g lead to constraints being
violated. Second, future hot prunes / vacuums can end up making
invisible tuples visible again. There's other harmful scenarios.
Fix the problem by recognizing that tuples can be DEAD instead of
RECENTLY_DEAD, even if the multixactid has alive members, if the
update_xid is below the xmin horizon. That's safe because newer
versions of the tuple will contain the locking xids.
A followup commit will harden the code somewhat against future similar
bugs and already corrupted data.

The logical slots have a fast code path for sending data so as not to
impose too high a per message overhead. The fast path skips checks for
interrupts and timeouts. However, the existing coding failed to consider
the fact that a transaction with a large number of changes may take a
very long time to be processed and sent to the client. This causes the
walsender to ignore interrupts for potentially a long time and more
importantly it will result in the walsender being killed due to
timeout at the end of such a transaction.
This commit changes the fast path to also check for interrupts and only
allows calling the fast path when the last keepalive check happened less
than half the walsender timeout ago. Otherwise the slower code path will
be taken.

I noticed that _SPI_execute_plan initially sets spierrcontext.arg = NULL,

between, _SPI_error_callback would try to dereference the null pointer.

Notably, this permits linking to the 32-bit Perl binaries advertised on

of permitting linking to binaries built with obsolete MSVC versions.
By default, MSVC 2012 and later require a "safe exception handler table"

handler metadata, so linking to them failed with error LNK2026. Restore

When a worker is flagged as BGW_NEVER_RESTART and we fail to start it,
or if it is not marked BGW_NEVER_RESTART but is terminated before
startup succeeds, what BgwHandleStatus should be reported? The
previous code really hadn't considered this possibility (as indicated
by the comments which ignore it completely) and would typically return
BGWH_NOT_YET_STARTED, but that's not a good answer, because then
there's no way for code using GetBackgroundWorkerPid() to tell the
difference between a worker that has not started but will start
later and a worker that has not started and will never be started.
So, when this case happens, return BGWH_STOPPED instead. Update the
comments to reflect this.
The preceding fix by itself is insufficient to fix the problem,
because the old code also didn't send a notification to the process
identified in bgw_notify_pid when startup failed. That might've
been technically correct under the theory that the status of the
worker was BGWH_NOT_YET_STARTED, because the status would indeed not
change when the worker failed to start, but now that we're more
usefully reporting BGWH_STOPPED, a notification is needed.
Without these fixes, code which starts background workers and then
uses the recommended APIs to wait for those background workers to
start would hang indefinitely if the postmaster failed to fork a
worker.

This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to
reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE)
concerning directory-open or file-open failures. It also fixes places
where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog
instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an
errcode. And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling
code.
In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function
ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding
pattern
dir = AllocateDir(path);
while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL)
if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions
rather than errors. Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it
with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause.
Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log
message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle
that job just fine. Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of
a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above. (In some
places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as
"could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not
open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as
long as we report the directory name.) In some other call sites where we
can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully
project-style-compliant.
Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock
between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not
impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures
would be misreported. There is no great value in opening the directory
before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order.
Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno,
as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming. (Again,
it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change
during a SpinLockAcquire. If so, this function was broken for its
own purposes as well as breaking callers.)
And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages,
such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is
more correct.
Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion
to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now
but surely making it global is pretty harmless. Also back-patch the
restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes. The rest of this is
essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

Invoking the Makefile without an explicit target was building every
possible target instead of just the "all" target. Back-patch to 9.3
(all supported versions).
rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's
target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even
for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree
would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition
allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the
assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all
child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to
visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would
also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods
other than CTID for row identification.
To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has
expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already
mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from
preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the
need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during
preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around
the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't.
But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs,
which is more pain than it's worth.)
Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when
we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's
really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.)
Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which
was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right.

Originally, we palloc'd this buffer just barely big enough to hold the
largest xlog record seen so far. It turns out that that can result in
valgrind complaints, because some compilers will emit code that assumes
it can safely fetch padding bytes at the end of a struct, and those
padding bytes were unallocated so far as aset.c was concerned. We can
fix that by MAXALIGN'ing the palloc request size, ensuring that it is big
enough to include any possible padding that might've been omitted from
the on-disk record.
An additional objection to the original coding is that it could result in
many repeated palloc cycles, in the worst case where we see a series of
gradually larger xlog records. We can ameliorate that cheaply by
imposing a minimum buffer size that's large enough for most xlog records.

When nodeValuesscan.c was written, it was impossible to have a SubPlan in
VALUES --- any sub-SELECT there would have to be uncorrelated and thereby
would produce an InitPlan instead. We therefore took a shortcut in the
logic that throws away a ValuesScan's per-row expression evaluation data
structures. This was broken by the introduction of LATERAL however; a
sub-SELECT containing a lateral reference produces a correlated SubPlan.
The cleanest fix for this would be to give up the optimization of
discarding the expression eval state. But that still seems pretty
unappetizing for long VALUES lists. It seems to work to just prevent
the subexpressions from hooking into the ValuesScan node's subPlan
list, so let's do that and see how well it works. (If this breaks,
due to additional connections between the subexpressions and the outer
query structures, we might consider compromises like throwing away data
only for VALUES rows not containing SubPlans.)

client requests a 3.x protocol version where x is greater than 0, send
the new NegotiateProtocolVersion message to convey that we support
only 3.0. This makes it possible to introduce new minor protocol
versions without requiring a connection retry when the server is
older.
In addition, if the startup packet includes name/value pairs where
the name starts with "_pq_.", assume that those are protocol options,
not GUCs. Include those we don't support (i.e. all of them, at
present) in the NegotiateProtocolVersion message so that the client
knows they were not understood. This makes it possible for the
client to request previously-unsupported features without bumping
the protocol version at all; the client can tell from the server's
response whether the option was understood.
It will take some time before servers that support these new
facilities become common in the wild; to speed things up and make
things easier for a future 3.1 protocol version, back-patch to all
supported releases.

The scripts in contrib/start-scripts/osx don't work at all on macOS
10.10 (Yosemite) or later, because they depend on SystemStarter which
Apple deprecated long ago and removed in 10.10. Add a new subdirectory
contrib/start-scripts/macos with scripts that use the newer launchd
infrastructure.
Since this problem is independent of which Postgres version you're using,
back-patch to all supported branches.

The pending list must (for correctness) always be cleaned up by vacuum, and
should (for the avoidance of surprising behavior) always be cleaned up
by an explicit call to gin_clean_pending_list, but cleanup is optional
when inserting. The old logic got this backward: cleanup was forced
if (stats == NULL), but that's going to be *false* when vacuuming and
*true* for inserts.
