With GB18030 as source encoding, applications could crash the server via
SQL functions convert() or convert_from(). Applications themselves
could crash after passing unterminated GB18030 input to libpq functions
PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeStringConn(), or
PQescapeString(). Extension code could crash by passing unterminated
GB18030 input to jsonapi.h functions. All those functions have been
intended to handle untrusted, unterminated input safely.
A crash required allocating the input such that the last byte of the
allocation was the last byte of a virtual memory page. Some malloc()
implementations take measures against that, making the SIGSEGV hard to
reach. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).

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.

"SET search_path = pg_temp, pg_catalog, "pg_catalog, pg_temp"" instead
of the intended "SET search_path = pg_catalog, pg_temp". (The intent
was a two-element search path. With the single quotes, it instead
specifies one element with a comma and a space in the middle of the

CREATE FUNCTION, ALTER ROLE, and ALTER DATABASE. It does not affect the

Add a documentation warning to ts_headline() pointing out that, when
working with untrusted input documents, the output is not guaranteed
to be safe for direct inclusion in web pages. This is because, while
it does remove some XML tags from the input, it doesn't remove all
HTML markup, and so the result may be unsafe (e.g., it might permit
XSS attacks).
To guard against that, all HTML markup should be removed from the
input, making it plain text, or the output should be passed through an
HTML sanitizer.
In addition, document precisely what the default text search parser
recognises as valid XML tags, since that's what determines which XML

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.

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.

Fortunately, there seems no need to do a DROP at all, since the
partition will go away silently when we drop either the parent index

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.

makeDependencyGraphWalker thought that only SelectStmt nodes could
contain a WithClause. Which was true in our original implementation
of WITH, but astonishingly we missed updating this code when we added
the ability to attach WITH to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (and later MERGE).
Moreover, since it was coded to deliberately block recursion to a
WithClause, even updating raw_expression_tree_walker didn't save it.
The upshot of this was that we didn't see references to outer CTE
names appearing within an inner WITH, and would neither complain about
disallowed recursion nor account for such references when sorting CTEs
into a usable order. The lack of complaints about this is perhaps not
so surprising, because typical usage of WITH wouldn't hit either case.
Still, it's pretty broken; failing to detect recursion here leads to
assert failures or worse later on.
Fix by factoring out the processing of sub-WITHs into a new function
WalkInnerWith, and invoking that for all the statement types that
can have WITH.

Since v15 we've had an option to apply a foreign key constraint's
ON DELETE SET DEFAULT or SET NULL action to just some of the
referencing columns. There was not a check for duplicate entries in
the list of columns-to-set, though. That caused a potential memory
stomp in CreateConstraintEntry(), which incautiously assumed that
the list of columns-to-set couldn't be longer than the number of key
columns. Even after fixing that, the case doesn't work because you
get an error like "multiple assignments to same column" from the SQL
command that is generated to do the update.
We could either raise an error for duplicate columns or silently
suppress the dups, and after a bit of thought I chose to do the
latter. This is motivated by the fact that duplicates in the FK
column list are legal, so it's not real clear why duplicates
in the columns-to-set list shouldn't be. Of course there's no
need to actually set the column more than once.
I left in the fix in CreateConstraintEntry() too, just because
it didn't seem like such low-level code ought to be making
assumptions about what it's handed.

Currently dblink and postgres_fdw don't process interrupts during connection
establishment. Besides preventing query cancellations etc, this can lead to
undetected deadlocks, as global barriers are not processed.
Libpqwalreceiver in contrast, processes interrupts during connection
establishment. The required code is not trivial, so duplicating it into
additional places does not seem like a good option.
These aforementioned undetected deadlocks are the reason for the spate of CI
test failures in the FreeBSD 'test_running' step.
For now the helper library is just a header, as it needs to be linked into
each extension using libpq, and it seems too small to be worth adding a
dedicated static library for.
The conversion to the helper are done in subsequent commits.

compareentry() is declared to work on WordEntryIN structs, but
tsvectorrecv() is using it in two places to work on WordEntry
structs. This is almost okay, since WordEntry is the first
field of WordEntryIN. But on machines with 8-byte pointers,
WordEntryIN will have a larger alignment spec than WordEntry,
and it's at least theoretically possible that the compiler
could generate code that depends on the larger alignment.
Given the lack of field reports, this may be just a hypothetical bug
that upsets nothing except sanitizer tools. Or it may be real on
certain hardware but nobody's tried to use tsvectorrecv() on such
hardware. In any case we should fix it, and the fix is trivial:
just change compareentry() so that it works on WordEntry without any

The optimization does not take the removal of TIDs by a concurrent vacuum into
account. The concurrent vacuum can remove dead TIDs and make pages ALL_VISIBLE
while those dead TIDs are referenced in the bitmap. This can lead to a
skip_fetch scan returning too many tuples.
It likely would be possible to implement this optimization safely, but we
don't have the necessary infrastructure in place. Nor is it clear that it's
worth building that infrastructure, given how limited the skip_fetch
optimization is.
In the backbranches we just disable the optimization by always passing
need_tuples=true to table_beginscan_bm(). We can't perform API/ABI changes in
the backbranches and we want to make the change as minimal as possible.

Without this, an additional change to the same pg_attribute row
within the same command will fail. This is possible at least with
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN on a multiple-inheritance-pathway structure.
(Another potential hazard is that immediately-following operations
might not see the missingval.)
Introduced by 95f650674, which split the former coding that
used a single pg_attribute update to change both atthasdef and
atthasmissing/attmissingval into two updates, but missed that
this should entail two CommandCounterIncrements as well. Like
that fix, back-patch through v13.

50e17ad28 (v14) and 29f45e299 (v15) made it so the planner could identify
IN and NOT IN clauses which have Const lists as right-hand arguments and
when an appropriate hash function is available for the data types, mark
the ScalarArrayOpExpr as hashable so the executor could execute it more
optimally by building and probing a hash table during expression
evaluation.
These commits both worked correctly when there was only a single
ScalarArrayOpExpr in the given expression being processed by the
planner, but when there were multiple, only the first was checked and any
subsequent ones were not identified, which resulted in less optimal
expression evaluation during query execution for all but the first found
ScalarArrayOpExpr.
Backpatch to 14, where 50e17ad28 was introduced.

As of 15.4, macOS has strchrnul(), but access to it is blocked behind
a check for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET >= 15.4. But our does-it-link
configure check finds it, so we try to use it, and fail with the
present default deployment target (namely 15.0). This accounts for
today's buildfarm failures on indri and sifaka.
This is the identical problem that we faced some years ago when Apple
introduced preadv and pwritev in the same way. We solved that in
commit f014b1b9b by using AC_CHECK_DECLS instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS
to check the functions' availability. So do the same now for
strchrnul(). Interestingly, we already had a workaround for
"the link check doesn't agree with <string.h>" cases with glibc,
which we no longer need since only the header declaration is being
checked.
Testing this revealed that the meson version of this check has never
worked, because it failed to use "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new".
(Apparently nobody's tried to build with meson on macOS versions that
lack preadv/pwritev as standard.) Adjust that while at it. Also,
we had never put support for "-Werror=unguarded-availability-new"
into v13, but we need that now.

The brin_bloom_union() function combines two BRIN summaries, by merging
one filter into the other. With bloom, we have to decompress the filters
first, but the function failed to update the summary to store the merged
filter. As a consequence, the index may be missing some of the data, and
return false negatives.
This issue exists since BRIN bloom indexes were introduced in Postgres
14, but at that point the union function was called only when two
sessions happened to summarize a range concurrently, which is rare. It
got much easier to hit in 17, as parallel builds use the union function
to merge summaries built by workers.
Fixed by storing a pointer to the decompressed filter, and freeing the
original one. Free the second filter too, if it was decompressed. The
freeing is not strictly necessary, because the union is called in
short-lived contexts, but it's tidy.
Backpatch to 14, where BRIN bloom indexes were introduced.

During hot standby, ExpireAllKnownAssignedTransactionIds() and
ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() functions mark old transactions
as no-longer running, but they failed to update xactCompletionCount
and latestCompletedXid. AFAICS it would not lead to incorrect query
results, because those functions effectively turn in-progress
transactions into aborted transactions and an MVCC snapshot considers
both as "not visible". But it could surprise GetSnapshotDataReuse()
and trigger the "TransactionIdPrecedesOrEquals(TransactionXmin,
RecentXmin))" assertion in it, if the apparent xmin in a backend would
move backwards. We saw this happen when GetCatalogSnapshot() would
reuse an older catalog snapshot, when GetTransactionSnapshot() had
already advanced TransactionXmin.
The bug goes back all the way to commit 623a9ba79b in v14 that
introduced the snapshot reuse mechanism, but it started to happen more
frequently with commit 952365cded which removed a
GetTransactionSnapshot() call from backend startup. That made it more
likely for ExpireOldKnownAssignedTransactionIds() to be called between
GetCatalogSnapshot() and the first GetTransactionSnapshot() in a
backend.
Andres Freund first spotted this assertion failure on buildfarm member
'skink'. Reproduction and analysis by Tomas Vondra.

exec_save_simple_expr did not account for the possibility that
standard_planner would stick a Materialize node atop the plan
of even a simple Result, if CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL is set. This led
to an "unexpected plan node type" error.
This is a very old bug, but it'd only be reached by declaring a
cursor for a "SELECT simple-expression" query and explicitly
marking it scrollable, which is an odd thing to do. So the lack
of prior reports isn't too surprising.

pg_drop_replication_slot() can drop replication slots created on
a different database than the one where it is executed. This behavior
has been in place since PostgreSQL 9.4, when pg_drop_replication_slot()
was introduced.
However, commit ff539d mistakenly added the following incorrect
description in the documentation:
For logical slots, this must be called when connected to
the same database the slot was created on.
This commit removes that incorrect statement. A similar mistake was
also present in the documentation for the DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT
command, which has now been corrected as well.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

If the given input_type yields valid results from both
get_element_type and get_array_type, initArrayResultAny believed the
former and treated the input as an array type. However this is
inconsistent with what get_promoted_array_type does, leading to
situations where the output of an ARRAY() subquery is labeled with
the wrong type: it's labeled as oidvector[] but is really a 2-D
array of OID. That at least results in strange output, and can
result in crashes if further processing such as unnest() is applied.
AFAIK this is only possible with the int2vector and oidvector
types, which are special-cased to be treated mostly as true arrays
even though they aren't quite.
Fix by switching the logic to match get_promoted_array_type by
testing get_array_type not get_element_type, and remove an Assert
thereby made pointless. (We need not introduce a symmetrical
check for get_element_type in the other if-branch, because
initArrayResultArr will check it.) This restores the behavior
that existed before bac27394a introduced initArrayResultAny:
the output really is int2vector[] or oidvector[].
Comparable confusion exists when an input of an ARRAY[] construct
is int2vector or oidvector: transformArrayExpr decides it's dealing
with a multidimensional array constructor, and we end up with
something that's a multidimensional OID array but is alleged to be
of type oidvector. I have not found a crashing case here, but it's
easy to demonstrate totally-wrong results. Adjust that code so
that what you get is an oidvector[] instead, for consistency with
ARRAY() subqueries. (This change also makes these types work like
domains-over-arrays in this context, which seems correct.)

Letting the rewriter keep RangeTblEntry.relid when expanding a view
RTE, without making the outfuncs/readfuncs changes that went along
with that originally, is more problematic than I realized. It causes
WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES testing to fail because outfuncs/readfuncs
don't think relid need be saved in an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE.
There doesn't seem to be any other good route to fixing the whole-row
Var problem solved at f4e7756ef, so we just have to deal with the
consequences. We can make the eventually-produced plan tree safe
for WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES by clearing the relid field at the
end of planning, as was already being done for the functions field.
(The functions field is not problematic here because our abuse of it
is strictly local to the planner.) However, there is no nice fix for
the post-rewrite WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES test.
The solution adopted here is to remove the post-rewrite test in the
affected branches. That's surely less than ideal, but a couple of
arguments can be made why it's not unacceptable. First, the behavior
of outfuncs/readfuncs for parsetrees in these branches is frozen no
matter what, because of catalog stability requirements. So we're not
testing anything that is going to change. Second, testing
WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES at this particular time doesn't correspond
to any direct system functionality requirement, neither rule storage
nor plan transmission.

makeWholeRowVar() has different rules for constructing a
whole-row Var depending on the kind of RTE it's representing.
This turns out to be problematic because the rewriter and planner
can convert view RTEs and set-returning-function RTEs into
subquery RTEs; so a whole-row Var made during planning might
look different from one made by the parser. In isolation this
doesn't cause any problem, but if a query contains Vars made
both ways for the same varno, there are cross-checks in the
executor that will complain. This manifests for UPDATE, DELETE,
and MERGE queries that use whole-row table references.
To fix, we need makeWholeRowVar() to produce the same result
from an inlined RTE as it would have for the original. For
an inlined view, we can use RangeTblEntry.relid to detect
that this had been a view RTE. For inlined SRFs, make a
data structure definition change akin to commit 47bb9db75,
and say that we won't clear RangeTblEntry.functions until
the end of planning. That allows makeWholeRowVar() to
repeat what it would have done with the unmodified RTE.
