In a case similar to the previous commit, an expired timer can remain
permanently readable if Curl does not remove the timeout itself. Since
that removal isn't guaranteed to happen in real-world situations,
implement drain_timer_events() to reset the timer before calling into
drive_request().
Moving to drain_timer_events() happens to fix a logic bug in the
previous caller of timer_expired(), which treated an error condition as
if the timer were expired instead of bailing out.
The previous implementation of timer_expired() gave differing results
for epoll and kqueue if the timer was reset. (For epoll, a reset timer
was considered to be expired, and for kqueue it was not.) This didn't
previously cause problems, since timer_expired() was only called while
the timer was known to be set, but both implementations now use the
kqueue logic.

If Curl needs to switch the direction of a socket's registration (e.g.
from CURL_POLL_IN to CURL_POLL_OUT), it expects the old registration to
be discarded. For epoll, this happened via EPOLL_CTL_MOD, but for
kqueue, the old registration would remain if it was not explicitly
removed by Curl.
Explicitly remove the opposite-direction event during registrations. (If
that event doesn't exist, we'll just get an ENOENT, which will be
ignored by the same code that handles CURL_POLL_REMOVE.) A few
assertions are also added to strengthen the relationship between the
number of events added, the number of events pulled off the queue, and
the lengths of the kevent arrays.

If a socket is added to the kqueue, becomes readable/writable, and
subsequently becomes non-readable/writable again, the kqueue itself will
remain readable until either the socket registration is removed, or the
stale event is cleared via a call to kevent().
In many simple cases, Curl itself will remove the socket registration
quickly, but in real-world usage, this is not guaranteed to happen. The
kqueue can then remain stuck in a permanently readable state until the
request ends, which results in pointless wakeups for the client and
wasted CPU time.
Implement comb_multiplexer() to call kevent() and unstick any stale
events that would cause unnecessary callbacks. This is called right
after drive_request(), before we return control to the client to wait.

The code used
return (Selectivity) 0.0;
where
PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(0.0);
would be correct.
On 64-bit systems, these are pretty much equivalent, but on 32-bit
systems, PG_RETURN_FLOAT8() correctly produces a pointer, but the old
wrong code would return a null pointer, possibly leading to a crash
elsewhere.
We think this code is actually not reachable because bqarr_in won't
accept an empty query, and there is no other function that will
create query_int values. But better be safe and not let such
incorrect code lie around.

Previously, pg_dump --filter could misinterpret invalid object types
in the filter file as valid ones. For example, the invalid object type
"table-data" (likely a typo for the valid "table_data") could be
mistakenly recognized as "table", causing pg_dump to succeed
when it should have failed.
This happened because pg_dump identified keywords as sequences of
ASCII alphabetic characters, treating non-alphabetic characters
(like hyphens) as keyword boundaries. As a result, "table-data" was
parsed as "table".
To fix this, pg_dump --filter now treats keywords as strings of
non-whitespace characters, ensuring invalid types like "table-data"
are correctly rejected.

Commit 9e6104c66 disallowed transition tables on foreign tables, but
failed to account for cases where a foreign table is a child table of a
partitioned/inherited table on which transition tables exist, leading to
incorrect transition tuples collected from such foreign tables for
queries on the parent table triggering transition capture. This
occurred not only for inherited UPDATE/DELETE but for partitioned INSERT
later supported by commit 3d956d956, which should have handled it at
least for the INSERT case, but didn't.
To fix, modify ExecAR*Triggers to throw an error if the given relation
is a foreign table requesting transition capture. Also, this commit
fixes make_modifytable so that in case of an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
triggering transition capture, FDWs choose normal operations to modify
child foreign tables, not DirectModify; which is needed because they
would otherwise skip the calls to ExecAR*Triggers at execution, causing
unexpected behavior.

The code used a PG_RETURN_TIMESTAMPTZ() where the return type is
TimestampTz and not a Datum.
On 64-bit systems, there is no effect since this just ends up casting
64-bit integers back and forth. On 32-bit systems, timestamptz is
pass-by-reference. PG_RETURN_TIMESTAMPTZ() allocates new memory and
returns the address, meaning that the caller could interpret this as a
timestamp value.
The effect is using "date_trunc(..., 'infinity'::timestamptz) will
return random values (instead of the correct return value 'infinity').

The result of "DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d)" is already in
Datum form, but the code was incorrectly applying PG_RETURN_FLOAT8()
to it. On machines where float8 is pass-by-reference, this would
result in complete garbage, since an unpredictable pointer value
would be treated as an integer and then converted to float. It's not
entirely clear how much of a problem would ensue on 64-bit hardware,
but certainly interpreting a float8 bitpattern as uint64 and then
converting that to float isn't the intended behavior.
As luck would have it, even the complete-garbage case doesn't break
BRIN indexes, since the results are only used to make choices about
how to merge values into ranges: at worst, we'd make poor choices
resulting in an inefficient index. Doubtless that explains the lack
of field complaints. However, users with BRIN indexes that use the
numeric_minmax_multi_ops opclass may wish to reindex in hopes of
making their indexes more efficient.

It's possible to use a CHECK (col IS NOT NULL) constraint to skip
scanning a table for nulls when adding a NOT NULL constraint on the same
column. However, if the CHECK constraint is dropped on the same command
that the NOT NULL is added, this fails, i.e., makes the NOT NULL addition
slow. The best we can do about it at this stage is to document this so
that users aren't taken by surprise.
(In Postgres 18 you can directly add the NOT NULL constraint as NOT
VALID instead, so there's no longer much use for the CHECK constraint,
therefore no point in building mechanism to support the case better.)

In ReorderBufferProcessTXN(), used to send the data of a transaction to
an output plugin, INSERT ON CONFLICT changes (INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT) are
delayed until a confirmation record arrives (INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM),
updating the change being processed.
8c58624df4 has added an extra step after processing a change to update
the progress of the transaction, by calling the callback
update_progress_txn() based on the LSN stored in a change after a
threshold of CHANGES_THRESHOLD (100) is reached. This logic has missed
the fact that for an INSERT ON CONFLICT change the data is freed once
processed, hence update_progress_txn() could be called pointing to a LSN
value that's already been freed. This could result in random crashes,
depending on the workload.
Per discussion, this issue is fixed by reusing in update_progress_txn()
the LSN from the change processed found at the beginning of the loop,
meaning that for a INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change the progress is updated
using the LSN of the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM change, and not the LSN from
its INTERNAL_SPEC_INSERT change. This is actually more correct, as we
want to update the progress to point to the INTERNAL_SPEC_CONFIRM
change.
Masahiko Sawada has found a nice trick to reproduce the issue: hardcode
CHANGES_THRESHOLD at 1 and run test_decoding (test "ddl" being enough)
on an instance running valgrind. The bug has been analyzed by Ethan
Mertz, who also originally suggested the solution used in this patch.

PostgreSQL always sends the BackendKeyData message at connection
startup, but there are some third party backend implementations out
there that don't support cancellation, and don't send the message
[1]. While the protocol docs left it up for interpretation if that is
valid behavior, libpq in PostgreSQL 17 and below accepted it. It does
not seem like the libpq behavior was intentional though, since it did
so by sending CancelRequest messages with all zeros to such servers
(instead of returning an error or making the cancel a no-op).
In version 18 the behavior was changed to return an error when trying
to create the cancel object with PGgetCancel() or PGcancelCreate().
This was done without any discussion, as part of supporting different
lengths of cancel packets for the new 3.2 version of the protocol.
This commit changes the behavior of PGgetCancel() / PGcancel() once
more to only return an error when the cancel object is actually used
to send a cancellation, instead of when merely creating the object.
The reason to do so is that some clients [2] create a cancel object as
part of their connection creation logic (thus having the cancel object
ready for later when they need it), so if creating the cancel object
returns an error, the whole connection attempt fails. By delaying the
error, such clients will still be able to connect to the third party
backend implementations in question, but when actually trying to
cancel a query, the user will be notified that that is not possible
for the server that they are connected to.
This commit only changes the behavior of the older PGgetCancel() /
PQcancel() functions, not the more modern PQcancelCreate() family of
functions. I.e. PQcancelCreate() returns a failed connection object
(CONNECTION_BAD) if the server didn't send a cancellation key. Unlike
the old PQgetCancel() function, we're not aware of any clients in the
field that use PQcancelCreate() during connection startup in a way
that would prevent connecting to such servers.

another.

pg_dump sorts objects by their logical names, e.g. (nspname, relname,
tgname), before dependency-driven reordering. That removes one source
of logically-identical databases differing in their schema-only dumps.
In other words, it helps with schema diffing. The logical name sort
ignored essential sort keys for constraints, operators, PUBLICATION
... FOR TABLE, PUBLICATION ... FOR TABLES IN SCHEMA, operator classes,
and operator families. pg_dump's sort then depended on object OID,
yielding spurious schema diffs. After this change, OIDs affect dump
order only in the event of catalog corruption. While pg_dump also
wrongly ignored pg_collation.collencoding, CREATE COLLATION restrictions
have been keeping that imperceptible in practical use.
Use techniques like we use for object types already having full sort key
coverage. Where the pertinent queries weren't fetching the ignored sort
keys, this adds columns to those queries and stores those keys in memory
for the long term.
The ignorance of sort keys became more problematic when commit
172259afb5 added a schema diff test
sensitive to it. Buildfarm member hippopotamus witnessed that.
However, dump order stability isn't a new goal, and this might avoid
other dump comparison failures. Hence, back-patch to v13 (all supported

The configure checks used two incorrect functions when checking the
presence of some routines in an environment:
- __get_cpuidex() for the check of __cpuidex().
- __get_cpuid() for the check of __cpuid().
This means that Postgres has never been able to detect the presence of
these functions, impacting environments where these exist, like Windows.
Simply fixing the function name does not work. For example, using
configure with MinGW on Windows causes the checks to detect all four of
__get_cpuid(), __get_cpuid_count(), __cpuidex() and __cpuid() to be
available, causing a compilation failure as this messes up with the
MinGW headers as we would include both <intrin.h> and <cpuid.h>.
The Postgres code expects only one in { __get_cpuid() , __cpuid() } and
one in { __get_cpuid_count() , __cpuidex() } to exist. This commit
reshapes the configure checks to do exactly what meson is doing, which
has been working well for us: check one, then the other, but never allow
both to be detected in a given build.
The logic is wrong since 3dc2d62d04 and 792752af4e where these
checks have been introduced (the second case is most likely a copy-pasto
coming from the first case), with meson documenting that the configure
checks were broken. As far as I can see, they are not once applied
consistently with what the code expects, but let's see if the buildfarm
has different something to say. The comment in meson.build is adjusted
as well, to reflect the new reality.

If the client sent a query cancel request with backend PID 0, it
tripped an assertion. With assertions disabled, you got this in the
log instead:
LOG: invalid cancel request with PID 0
LOG: wrong key in cancel request for process 0
Query cancellations don't even require authentication, so we better
tolerate bogus requests. Fix by turning the assertion into a regular
runtime check.
Spotted while testing libpq behavior with a modified server that
didn't send BackendKeyData to the client.

For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed
to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In
some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of
-L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking
the user's intention for --with-libraries.
It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a
directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a
library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib
that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the
user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard
build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from
happening since it will come before the user-specified directory.
To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during
configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will
still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches
coming from --with-libraries.
The same problem exists for -I switches: those coming from
--with-includes should appear before any coming from helper programs
such as llvm-config. We have not heard field complaints about this
case, but it seems certain that a user attempting to override a
standard library could have issues.
The changes for this go well beyond configure itself, however,
because many Makefiles have occasion to manipulate CPPFLAGS to
insert locally-desirable -I switches, and some of them got it wrong.
The correct ordering is any -I switches pointing at within-the-
source-tree-or-build-tree directories, then those from the tree-wide
CPPFLAGS, then those from helper programs. There were several places
that risked pulling in a system-supplied copy of libpq headers, for
example, instead of the in-tree files. (Commit cb36f8ec2 fixed one
instance of that a few months ago, but this exercise found more.)
The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problems,
but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.

When I prepared 71c0921b6 et al yesterday, I was thinking that the
logic involving explicitly freeing the node_list output was still
needed to dodge leakage bugs in libxml2. But I was misremembering:
we introduced that only because with early 2.13.x releases we could
not trust xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory's result code, so we had to
look to see if a node list was returned or not. There's no reason
to believe that xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory will fail to clean up
the node list when required, so simplify. (This essentially
completes reverting all the non-cosmetic changes in 6082b3d5d.)
