6f1a407731 Fix some more bugs in signal handlers and process shutdown logic.
WalSndKill was doing things exactly backwards: it should first clear
MyWalSnd (to stop signal handlers from touching MyWalSnd->latch),
then disown the latch, and only then mark the WalSnd struct unused by
clearing its pid field.

Also, WalRcvSigUsr1Handler and worker_spi_sighup failed to preserve
errno, which is surely a requirement for any signal handler.

Per discussion of recent buildfarm failures.  Back-patch as far
as the relevant code exists.

27942baf49 Don't use deprecated dllwrap on Cygwin.
The preferred method is to use "cc -shared", and this allows binaries
to be rebased if required, unlike dllwrap.

Backpatch to 9.0 where we have buildfarm coverage.

There are still some issues with Cygwin, especially modern Cygwin, but
this helps us get closer to good support.

will be they will find it.

5d807a74bf Clear MyProc and MyProcSignalState before they become invalid.
Evidence from buildfarm member crake suggests that the new test_shm_mq
module is routinely crashing the server due to the arrival of a SIGUSR1
after the shared memory segment has been unmapped.  Although processes
using the new dynamic background worker facilities are more likely to
receive a SIGUSR1 around this time, the problem is also possible on older
branches, so I'm back-patching the parts of this change that apply to
older branches as far as they apply.

It's already generally the case that code checks whether these pointers
are NULL before deferencing them, so the important thing is mostly to
make sure that they do get set to NULL before they become invalid.  But
in master, there's one case in procsignal_sigusr1_handler that lacks a
NULL guard, so add that.

Patch by me; review by Tom Lane.

a4aa854cad Fix bogus handling of "postponed" lateral quals.
When pulling a "postponed" qual from a LATERAL subquery up into the quals
of an outer join, we must make sure that the postponed qual is included
in those seen by make_outerjoininfo().  Otherwise we might compute a
too-small min_lefthand or min_righthand for the outer join, leading to
"JOIN qualification cannot refer to other relations" failures from
distribute_qual_to_rels.  Subtler errors in the created plan seem possible,
too, if the extra qual would only affect join ordering constraints.

bf8ee6f157 Fix unsafe references to errno within error messaging logic.
Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still
within an ereport() nest or similar contexts.  This isn't true necessarily,
though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the
compiler chanced to order the subexpressions.  This class of thinko
explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically
missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages.

Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this
commit is based on.  (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple
of additional places with the same disease.)

8cb90b21af Avoid minor leak in parallel pg_dump

d1e3070f04 Allow type_func_name_keywords in even more places
A while back, 2c92edad48796119c83d7dbe6c33425d1924626d allowed
type_func_name_keywords to be used in more places, including role
identifiers.  Unfortunately, that commit missed out on cases where
name_list was used for lists-of-roles, eg: for DROP ROLE.  This
resulted in the unfortunate situation that you could CREATE a role
with a type_func_name_keywords-allowed identifier, but not DROP it
(directly- ALTER could be used to rename it to something which
could be DROP'd).

This extends allowing type_func_name_keywords to places where role
lists can be used.

Back-patch to 9.0, as 2c92edad48796119c83d7dbe6c33425d1924626d was.

0950d67ee5 Tweak parse location assignment for CURRENT_DATE and related constructs.
All these constructs generate parse trees consisting of a Const and
a run-time type coercion (perhaps a FuncExpr or a CoerceViaIO).  Modify
the raw parse output so that we end up with the original token's location
attached to the type coercion node while the Const has location -1;
before, it was the other way around.  This makes no difference in terms
of what exprLocation() will say about the parse tree as a whole, so it
should not have any user-visible impact.  The point of changing it is that
we do not want contrib/pg_stat_statements to treat these constructs as
replaceable constants.  It will do the right thing if the Const has
location -1 rather than a valid location.

This is a pretty ugly hack, but then this code is ugly already; we should
someday replace this translation with special-purpose parse node(s) that
would allow ruleutils.c to reconstruct the original query text.

(See also commit 5d3fcc4c2e137417ef470d604fee5e452b22f6a7, which also
hacked location assignment rules for the benefit of pg_stat_statements.)

Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_stat_statements grew the ability to recognize
replaceable constants.

86e58ae023 Allow SET TABLESPACE to database default
We've always allowed CREATE TABLE to create tables in the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE permissions on that tablespace.
Unfortunately, the original implementation of ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE
didn't pick up on that exception.

This changes ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE to allow the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE rights on that tablespace, just as
CREATE TABLE works today.  Users could always do this through a series of
commands (CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT * FROM ...; DROP TABLE ...; etc), so
let's fix the oversight in SET TABLESPACE's original implementation.

Commit 6f60fdd7015b032bf49273c99f80913d57eac284 accidentally removed a
call to XLogWalRcvSendHSFeedback() after flushing received WAL to disk.
The consequence is that when walsender is busy streaming WAL, it doesn't
send HS feedback messages. One is sent if nothing is received from the
master for 100ms, but if there's a steady stream of WAL, it never happens.

ebde6c4014 Fix multiple bugs in index page locking during hot-standby WAL replay.
In ordinary operation, VACUUM must be careful to take a cleanup lock on
each leaf page of a btree index; this ensures that no indexscans could
still be "in flight" to heap tuples due to be deleted.  (Because of
possible index-tuple motion due to concurrent page splits, it's not enough
to lock only the pages we're deleting index tuples from.)  In Hot Standby,
the WAL replay process must likewise lock every leaf page.  There were
several bugs in the code for that:

* The replay scan might come across unused, all-zero pages in the index.
While btree_xlog_vacuum itself did the right thing (ie, nothing) with
such pages, xlogutils.c supposed that such pages must be corrupt and
would throw an error.  This accounts for various reports of replication
failures with "PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages".  To
fix, add a ReadBufferMode value that instructs XLogReadBufferExtended
not to complain when we're doing this.

* btree_xlog_vacuum performed the extra locking if standbyState ==
STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, but that's not the correct test: we won't open up
for hot standby queries until the database has reached consistency, and
we don't want to do the extra locking till then either, for fear of reading
corrupted pages (which bufmgr.c would complain about).  Fix by exporting a
new function from xlog.c that will report whether we're actually in hot
standby replay mode.

* To ensure full coverage of the index in the replay scan, btvacuumscan
would emit a dummy WAL record for the last page of the index, if no
vacuuming work had been done on that page.  However, if the last page
of the index is all-zero, that would result in corruption of said page,
since the functions called on it weren't prepared to handle that case.
There's no need to lock any such pages, so change the logic to target
the last normal leaf page instead.

The first two of these bugs were diagnosed by Andres Freund, the other one
by me.  Fixes based on ideas from Heikki Linnakangas and myself.

This has been wrong since Hot Standby was introduced, so back-patch to 9.0.

27ff4cfe76 Disallow LATERAL references to the target table of an UPDATE/DELETE.
On second thought, commit 0c051c90082da0b7e5bcaf9aabcbd4f361137cdc was
over-hasty: rather than allowing this case, we ought to reject it for now.
That leaves the field clear for a future feature that allows the target
table to be re-specified in the FROM (or USING) clause, which will enable
left-joining the target table to something else.  We can then also allow
LATERAL references to such an explicitly re-specified target table.
But allowing them right now will create ambiguities or worse for such a
feature, and it isn't something we documented 9.3 as supporting.

While at it, add a convenience subroutine to avoid having several copies
of the ereport for disalllowed-LATERAL-reference cases.

5bfcc9ec5e Fix possible crashes due to using elog/ereport too early in startup.
Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.

We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high.  Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today.  The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function.  I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.

I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made
it more likely to see a crash of this kind; but it sure looks like it's
broken all the way back.

36785a21ba Fix compute_scalar_stats() for case that all values exceed WIDTH_THRESHOLD.
The standard typanalyze functions skip over values whose detoasted size
exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE.  However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide.  While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all.  That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation.  Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").

Per complaint from Kadri Raudsepp.  This has been like this since roughly
neolithic times, so back-patch to all supported branches.

a25c2b7c4d Accept pg_upgraded tuples during multixact freezing
The new MultiXact freezing routines introduced by commit 8e9a16ab8f7
neglected to consider tuples that came from a pg_upgrade'd database; a
vacuum run that tried to freeze such tuples would die with an error such
as
ERROR: MultiXactId 11415437 does no longer exist -- apparent wraparound

To fix, ensure that GetMultiXactIdMembers is allowed to return empty
multis when the infomask bits are right, as is done in other callsites.

Per trouble report from F-Secure.

In passing, fix a copy&paste bug reported by Andrey Karpov from VIVA64
from their PVS-Studio static checked, that instead of setting relminmxid
to Invalid, we were setting relfrozenxid twice.  Not an important
mistake because that code branch is about relations for which we don't
use the frozenxid/minmxid values at all in the first place, but seems to
warrants a fix nonetheless.

47ac4473ac Fix "cannot accept a set" error when only some arms of a CASE return a set.
In commit c1352052ef1d4eeb2eb1d822a207ddc2d106cb13, I implemented an
optimization that assumed that a function's argument expressions would
either always return a set (ie multiple rows), or always not.  This is
wrong however: we allow CASE expressions in which some arms return a set
of some type and others just return a scalar of that type.  There may be
other examples as well.  To fix, replace the run-time test of whether an
argument returned a set with a static precheck (expression_returns_set).
This adds a little bit of query startup overhead, but it seems barely
measurable.

If pause_at_recovery_target is set, recovery pauses *before* applying the
target record, even if recovery_target_inclusive is set. If you then
continue with pg_xlog_replay_resume(), it will apply the target record
before ending recovery. In other words, if you log in while it's paused
and verify that the database looks OK, ending recovery changes its state
again, possibly destroying data that you were tring to salvage with PITR.

425bef6ee7 Fix bug in determining when recovery has reached consistency.
When starting WAL replay from an online checkpoint, the last replayed WAL
record variable was initialized using the checkpoint record's location, even
though the records between the REDO location and the checkpoint record had
not been replayed yet. That was noted as "slightly confusing" but harmless
in the comment, but in some cases, it fooled CheckRecoveryConsistency to
incorrectly conclude that we had already reached a consistent state
immediately at the beginning of WAL replay. That caused the system to accept
read-only connections in hot standby mode too early, and also PANICs with
message "WAL contains references to invalid pages".

Fix by initializing the variables to the REDO location instead.

In 9.2 and above, change CheckRecoveryConsistency() to use
lastReplayedEndRecPtr variable when checking if backup end location has
been reached. It was inconsistently using EndRecPtr for that check, but
lastReplayedEndRecPtr when checking min recovery point. It made no
difference before this patch, because in all the places where
CheckRecoveryConsistency was called the two variables were the same, but
it was always an accident waiting to happen, and would have been wrong
after this patch anyway.

341f0bc495 Fix translatability markings in psql, and add defenses against future bugs.
Several previous commits have added columns to various \d queries without
updating their translate_columns[] arrays, leading to potentially incorrect
translations in NLS-enabled builds.  Offenders include commit 893686762
(added prosecdef to \df+), c9ac00e6e (added description to \dc+) and
3b17efdfd (added description to \dC+).  Fix those cases back to 9.3 or

Since this is evidently more easily missed than one would like, in HEAD
also add an Assert that the supplied array is long enough.  This requires
an API change for printQuery(), so it seems inappropriate for back
branches, but presumably all future changes will be tested in HEAD anyway.

In HEAD and 9.3, also clean up a whole lot of sloppiness in the emitted
SQL for \dy (event triggers): lack of translatability due to failing to

qualification, and sloppy formatting resulting in unnecessarily ugly

948a3dfbb7 Handle 5-char filenames in SlruScanDirectory
Original users of slru.c were all producing 4-digit filenames, so that
was all that that code was prepared to handle.  Changes to multixact.c
in the course of commit 0ac5ad5134f made pg_multixact/members create
5-digit filenames once a certain threshold was reached, which
SlruScanDirectory wasn't prepared to deal with; in particular,
5-digit-name files were not removed during truncation.  Change that
routine to make it aware of those files, and have it process them just
like any others.

of 4-char and 5-char filenames.  A future commit is expected fix things
so that each slru.c user declares the correct maximum width for the

03db794596 Wrap multixact/members correctly during extension
In the 9.2 code for extending multixact/members, the logic was very
simple because the number of entries in a members page was a proper
divisor of 2^32, and thus at 2^32 wraparound the logic for page switch
was identical than at any other page boundary.  In commit 0ac5ad5134f I
failed to realize this and introduced code that was not able to go over
the 2^32 boundary.  Fix that by ensuring that when we reach the last
page of the last segment we correctly zero the initial page of the
initial segment, using correct uint32-wraparound-safe arithmetic.

f40e79173a Handle wraparound during truncation in multixact/members
In pg_multixact/members, relying on modulo-2^32 arithmetic for
wraparound handling doesn't work all that well.  Because we don't
explicitely track wraparound of the allocation counter for members, it
is possible that the "live" area exceeds 2^31 entries; trying to remove
SLRU segments that are "old" according to the original logic might lead
to removal of segments still in use.  To fix, have the truncation
routine use a tailored SlruScanDirectory callback that keeps track of
the live area in actual use; that way, when the live range exceeds 2^31
entries, the oldest segments still live will not get removed untimely.

This new SlruScanDir callback needs to take care not to remove segments
that are "in the future": if new SLRU segments appear while the
truncation is ongoing, make sure we don't remove them.  This requires
examination of shared memory state to recheck for false positives, but
testing suggests that this doesn't cause a problem.  The original coding
didn't suffer from this pitfall because segments created when truncation
is running are never considered to be removable.

was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
version numbers down to 2.87.36.  The lowest actual release above
that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.

Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
based on version number.  Allow a connection to any version.  Since
it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.

PVS-Studio static code analyzer.  Final patch based on analysis by
Tom Lane.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

7dfd9f6f54 Properly detect invalid JSON numbers when generating JSON.
Instead of looking for characters that aren't valid in JSON numbers, we
simply pass the output string through the JSON number parser, and if it
fails the string is quoted. This means among other things that money and
domains over money will be quoted correctly and generate valid JSON.

Fixes bug #8676 reported by Anderson Cristian da Silva.

Backpatched to 9.2 where JSON generation was introduced.

28b60aa231 Fix misplaced right paren bugs in pgstatfuncs.c.
The bug would only show up if the C sockaddr structure contained
zero in the first byte for a valid address; otherwise it would
fail to fail, which is probably why it went unnoticed for so long.

Patch submitted by Joel Jacobson after seeing an article by Andrey
Karpov in which he reports finding this through static code
analysis using PVS-Studio.  While I was at it I moved a definition
of a local variable referenced in the buggy code to a more local
context.

663f8419b6 Fix ANALYZE failure on a column that's a domain over a range.
Most other range operations seem to work all right on domains,
but this one not so much, at least not since commit 918eee0c.

fd995b3f4f Avoid useless palloc during transaction commit
We can allocate the initial relations-to-drop array when first needed,
instead of at function entry; this avoids allocating it when the
function is not going to do anything, which is most of the time.

Backpatch to 9.3, where this behavior was introduced by commit
279628a0a7cf5.

There's more that could be done here, such as possible reworking of the
code to avoid having to palloc anything, but that doesn't sound as
backpatchable as this relatively minor change.

85d3b3c3ac Optimize updating a row that's locked by same xid
Updating or locking a row that was already locked by the same
transaction under the same Xid caused a MultiXact to be created; but
this is unnecessary, because there's no usefulness in being able to
differentiate two locks by the same transaction.  In particular, if a
transaction executed SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE that didn't
modify columns of the key, we would dutifully represent the resulting
combination as a multixact -- even though a single key-update is
sufficient.

Optimize the case so that only the strongest of both locks/updates is
represented in Xmax.  This can save some Xmax's from becoming
MultiXacts, which can be a significant optimization.

This missed optimization opportunity was spotted by Andres Freund while
investigating a bug reported by Oliver Seemann in message
CANCipfpfzoYnOz5jj=UZ70_R=CwDHv36dqWSpwsi27vpm1z5sA@mail.gmail.com
and also directly as a performance regression reported by Dong Ye in
message
d54b8387.000012d8.00000010@YED-DEVD1.vmware.com
Reportedly, this patch fixes the performance regression.

Since the missing optimization was reported as a significant performance
regression from 9.2, backpatch to 9.3.

db1014bc46 Don't ignore tuple locks propagated by our updates
If a tuple was locked by transaction A, and transaction B updated it,
the new version of the tuple created by B would be locked by A, yet
visible only to B; due to an oversight in HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate, the
lock held by A wouldn't get checked if transaction B later deleted (or
key-updated) the new version of the tuple.  This might cause referential
integrity checks to give false positives (that is, allow deletes that
should have been rejected).

This is an easy oversight to have made, because prior to improved tuple
locks in commit 0ac5ad5134f it wasn't possible to have tuples created by
our own transaction that were also locked by remote transactions, and so
locks weren't even considered in that code path.

It is recommended that foreign keys be rechecked manually in bulk after
installing this update, in case some referenced rows are missing with
some referencing row remaining.

8e9a16ab8f Rework tuple freezing protocol
Tuple freezing was broken in connection to MultiXactIds; commit
8e53ae025de9 tried to fix it, but didn't go far enough.  As noted by
Noah Misch, freezing a tuple whose Xmax is a multi containing an aborted
update might cause locks in the multi to go ignored by later
transactions.  This is because the code depended on a multixact above
their cutoff point not having any lock-only member older than the cutoff
point for Xids, which is easily defeated in READ COMMITTED transactions.

The fix for this involves creating a new MultiXactId when necessary.
But this cannot be done during WAL replay, and moreover multixact
examination requires using CLOG access routines which are not supposed
to be used during WAL replay either; so tuple freezing cannot be done
with the old freeze WAL record.  Therefore, separate the freezing
computation from its execution, and change the WAL record to carry all
necessary information.  At WAL replay time, it's easy to re-execute
freezing because we don't need to re-compute the new infomask/Xmax
values but just take them from the WAL record.

While at it, restructure the coding to ensure all page changes occur in
a single critical section without much room for failures.  The previous
coding wasn't using a critical section, without any explanation as to
why this was acceptable.

In replication scenarios using the 9.3 branch, standby servers must be
upgraded before their master, so that they are prepared to deal with the
new WAL record once the master is upgraded; failure to do so will cause
WAL replay to die with a PANIC message.  Later upgrade of the standby
will allow the process to continue where it left off, so there's no
disruption of the data in the standby in any case.  Standbys know how to
deal with the old WAL record, so it's okay to keep the master running
the old code for a while.

In master, the old freeze WAL record is gone, for cleanliness' sake;
there's no compatibility concern there.

Backpatch to 9.3, where the original bug was introduced and where the
previous fix was backpatched.

8122e6f85a Add "SHIFT_JIS" as an accepted encoding name for locale checking.
When locale is "ja_JP.SJIS", nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns "SHIFT_JIS"
on some platforms, at least on RedHat Linux. So the encoding/locale
match table (encoding_match_list) needs the entry. Otherwise client
encoding is set to SQL_ASCII.

324577f39b Fix inherited UPDATE/DELETE with UNION ALL subqueries.
Fix an oversight in commit b3aaf9081a1a95c245fd605dcf02c91b3a5c3a29: we do
indeed need to process the planner's append_rel_list when copying RTE
subqueries, because if any of them were flattenable UNION ALL subqueries,
the append_rel_list shows which subquery RTEs were pulled up out of which
other ones.  Without this, UNION ALL subqueries aren't correctly inserted
into the update plans for inheritance child tables after the first one,
typically resulting in no update happening for those child table(s).
Per report from Victor Yegorov.

Experimentation with this case also exposed a fault in commit
a7b965382cf0cb30aeacb112572718045e6d4be7: if an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
was proven totally dummy by constraint exclusion, we might arrive at
add_rtes_to_flat_rtable with root->simple_rel_array being NULL.  This
should be interpreted as not having any RelOptInfos.  I chose to code
the guard as a check against simple_rel_array_size, so as to also
provide some protection against indexing off the end of the array.

Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was added.

0bc00363b9 Rework MultiXactId cache code
The original performs too poorly; in some scenarios it shows way too
high while profiling.  Try to make it a bit smarter to avoid excessive
cosst.  In particular, make it have a maximum size, and have entries be
sorted in LRU order; once the max size is reached, evict the oldest
entry to avoid it from growing too large.
