In a cluster having used CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY while having enabled
prepared transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently
fail to find rows. Fix this for future CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY by
making it wait for prepared transactions like it waits for ordinary
transactions. This expands the VirtualTransactionId structure domain to
admit prepared transactions. It may be necessary to reindex to recover
from past occurrences. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).

Per buildfarm and local experimentation, bleeding-edge gcc isn't
convinced that the MemSet in reorder_function_arguments() is safe.
Shut it up by adding an explicit check that pronargs isn't negative,
and by changing MemSet to memset. (It appears that either change is
enough to quiet the warning at -O2, but let's do both to be sure.)
We had "short *mdy" in the extern declarations, but "short mdy[3]"
in the actual function definitions. Per C99 these are equivalent,
but recent versions of gcc have started to issue warnings about
the inconsistency. Clean it up before the warnings get any more
widespread.

The loops to identify word boundaries could access past the end of
the input string. Likely that would never result in an actual
crash, but it makes valgrind unhappy.
The logic to try different numbers of words didn't work when the
input has two words but we only have a match to the first, eg
"\h with select". (We must "continue" the pass loop, not "break".)
The logic to compute nl_count was bizarrely managed, and in at
least two code paths could end up calling PageOutput with
nl_count = 0, resulting in failing to paginate output that should
have been fed to the pager. Also, in v12 and up, the nl_count
calculation hadn't been updated to account for the addition of a URL.
The PQExpBuffer holding the command syntax details wasn't freed,
resulting in a session-lifespan memory leak.
While here, improve some comments, choose a more descriptive name
for a variable, fix inconsistent datatype choice for another variable.

Both heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() incorrectly set the first page
to scan in a backward scan in which the number of pages to scan was
specified by heap_setscanlimits(). The code incorrectly started the scan
at the end of the relation when startBlk was 0, or otherwise at
startBlk - 1, neither of which is correct when only scanning a subset of
pages.
The fix here checks if heap_setscanlimits() has changed the number of
pages to scan and if so we set the first page to scan as the final page in
the specified range during backward scans.
Proper adjustment of this code was forgotten when heap_setscanlimits() was
added in 7516f5259 back in 9.5. However, practice, nowhere in core code
performs backward scans after having used heap_setscanlimits(), yet, it is
possible an extension uses the heap functions in this way, hence
backpatch.
An upcoming patch does use heap_setscanlimits() with backward scans, so
this must be fixed before that can go in.

It emerges that in some phases of the moon (perhaps to do with

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk

Our heuristic to skip non-version-numbered pathnames was rejecting

Somebody extended search_plan_tree() to treat MergeAppend exactly
like Append, which is 100% wrong, because unlike Append we can't
assume that only one input node is actively returning tuples.
Hence a cursor using a MergeAppend across a UNION ALL or inheritance
tree could falsely match a WHERE CURRENT OF query at a row that
isn't actually the cursor's current output row, but coincidentally
has the same TID (in a different table) as the current output row.
Delete the faulty code; this means that such a case will now return
an error like 'cursor "foo" is not a simply updatable scan of table
"bar"', instead of silently misbehaving. Users should not find that
surprising though, as the same cursor query could have failed that way
already depending on the chosen plan. (It would fail like that if the
sort were done with an explicit Sort node instead of MergeAppend.)

execCurrent.c's search_plan_tree() assumed that ForeignScanStates
and CustomScanStates necessarily have a valid ss_currentRelation.
This is demonstrably untrue for postgres_fdw's remote join and
remote aggregation plans, and non-leaf custom scans might not have
an identifiable scan relation either. Avoid crashing by ignoring
such nodes when the field is null.
This solution will lead to errors like 'cursor "foo" is not a
simply updatable scan of table "bar"' in cases where maybe we
could have allowed WHERE CURRENT OF to work. That's not an issue
for postgres_fdw's usages, since joins or aggregations would render
WHERE CURRENT OF invalid anyway. But an otherwise-transparent
upper level custom scan node might find this annoying. When and if
someone cares to expend work on such a scenario, we could invent a
custom-scan-provider callback to determine what's safe.

The context is an object that no longer bears some aclitem that it bore
initially. (A user issued REVOKE or GRANT statements upon the object.)
pg_dump is forming SQL to reproduce the object ACL. Since initdb
creates no ACL bearing GRANT OPTION, reaching this bug requires an
extension where the creation script establishes such an ACL. No PGXN
extension does that. If an installation did reach the bug, pg_dump
would have omitted a semicolon, causing a REVOKE and the next SQL

In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version,
asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the
SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does
not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in
such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default
behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's
"command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version
in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will
default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented,
but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives
the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least
in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild
if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the
--show-sdk-path switch).
Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks
any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most
of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all
is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against
the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on
a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name
before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun
call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually
more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.)
The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases
like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls
does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think
that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building
on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to
have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt
to fix that.

brenext(), when parsing a '*' quantifier, forgot to return any "value"
for the token; per the equivalent case in next(), it should return
value 1 to indicate that greedy rather than non-greedy behavior is
wanted. The result is that the compiled regexp could behave like 'x*?'
rather than the intended 'x*', if we were unlucky enough to have
a zero in v->nextvalue at this point. That seems to happen with some
reliability if we have '.*' at the beginning of a BRE-mode regexp,
although that depends on the initial contents of a stack-allocated
struct, so it's not guaranteed to fail.

On reflection, the order of operations in PostgresMain() is wrong.
These timeouts ought to be shut down before, not after, we do the
post-command-read CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, to guarantee that any

This is really an error in the original idle_in_transaction_timeout

The documentation of pg_rewind mentioned the use of restore_command and
primary_conninfo as options available at startup to fetch missing WAL

the target cluster is offline, so this option is not available.

The deadlocks that the recovery conflict on lock is involved in can
happen between hot-standby backends and the startup process.
If a backend takes an access exclusive lock on the table and which
finally triggers the deadlock, that deadlock can be detected
as expected. On the other hand, previously, if the startup process
took an access exclusive lock and which finally triggered the deadlock,
that deadlock could not be detected and could remain even after
deadlock_timeout passed. This is a bug.
The cause of this bug was that the code for handling the recovery
conflict on lock didn't take care of deadlock case at all. It assumed
that deadlocks involving the startup process and backends were able
to be detected by the deadlock detector invoked within backends.
But this assumption was incorrect. The startup process also should
have invoked the deadlock detector if necessary.
To fix this bug, this commit makes the startup process invoke
the deadlock detector if deadlock_timeout is reached while handling
the recovery conflict on lock. Specifically, in that case, the startup
process requests all the backends holding the conflicting locks to
check themselves for deadlocks.
Back-patch to v9.6. v9.5 has also this bug, but per discussion we decided
not to back-patch the fix to v9.5. Because v9.5 doesn't have some
infrastructure codes (e.g., 37c54863cf) that this bug fix patch depends on.
We can apply those codes for the back-patch, but since the next minor
version release is the final one for v9.5, it's risky to do that. If we
unexpectedly introduce new bug to v9.5 by the back-patch, there is no
chance to fix that. We determined that the back-patch to v9.5 would give
more risk than gain.

The parsing of this parameter has been using strtoul(), which is not
portable across platforms. On most Unix platforms, unsigned long has a
size of 64 bits, while on Windows it is 32 bits. It is common in
recovery scenarios to rely on the output of txid_current() or even the
newer pg_current_xact_id() to get a transaction ID for setting up
recovery_target_xid. The value returned by those functions includes the
epoch in the computed result, which would cause strtoul() to fail where
unsigned long has a size of 32 bits once the epoch is incremented.
WAL records and 2PC data include only information about 32-bit XIDs and
it is not possible to have XIDs across more than one epoch, so
discarding the high bits from the transaction ID set has no impact on
recovery. On the contrary, the use of strtoul() prevents a consistent
behavior across platforms depending on the size of unsigned long.
This commit changes the parsing of recovery_target_xid to use
pg_strtouint64() instead, available down to 9.6. There is one TAP test
stressing recovery with recovery_target_xid, where a tweak based on
pg_reset{xlog,wal} is added to bump the XID epoch so as this change gets
tested, as per an idea from Alexander Lakhin.

array_get_element and array_get_slice qualify as leakproof, since
they will silently return NULL for bogus subscripts. But
array_set_element and array_set_slice throw errors for such cases,
making them clearly not leakproof. contain_leaked_vars was evidently
written with only the former case in mind, as it gave the wrong answer
for assignment SubscriptingRefs (nee ArrayRefs).
This would be a live security bug, were it not that assignment
SubscriptingRefs can only occur in INSERT and UPDATE target lists,
while we only care about leakproofness for qual expressions; so the
wrong answer can't occur in practice. Still, that's a rather shaky
answer for a security-related question; and maybe in future somebody
will want to ask about leakproofness of a tlist. So it seems wise to
fix and even back-patch this correction.
(We would need some change here anyway for the upcoming
generic-subscripting patch, since extensions might make different
tradeoffs about whether to throw errors. Commit 558d77f20 attempted
to lay groundwork for that by asking check_functions_in_node whether a
SubscriptingRef contains leaky functions; but that idea fails now that
the implementation methods of a SubscriptingRef are not SQL-visible
