Since rsync 3.0.0 (released in 2008), the default way to enumerate
changes was changed in a way that makes it less likely that the hardlink
sync mode works. Since the whole point of the documented procedure is
for the hardlinks to work, change our docs to suggest using the
backwards compatibility switch.
If we failed to get a background worker slot, the code just walked
away from the logicalrep-worker slot it already had, leaving that
looking like the worker is still starting up. This led to an indefinite
hang in subscription startup, as reported by Thomas Munro. We must
release the slot on failure.
Also fix a thinko: we must capture the worker slot's generation before
releasing LogicalRepWorkerLock the first time, else testing to see if
it's changed is pretty meaningless.
BTW, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in WaitForReplicationWorkerAttach is a
ticking time bomb, even without considering the possibility of elog(ERROR)
in one of the other functions it calls. Really, this entire business needs
a redesign with some actual thought about error recovery. But for now
I'm just band-aiding the case observed in testing.
Back-patch to v10 where this code was added.

When ALTER SUBSCRIPTION DISABLE is run in the same transaction before
DROP SUBSCRIPTION, the latter will hang because workers will still be
running, not having seen the DISABLE committed, and DROP SUBSCRIPTION
will wait until the workers have vacated the replication origin slots.
Previously, DROP SUBSCRIPTION killed the logical replication workers
immediately only if it was going to drop the replication slot, otherwise
it scheduled the worker killing for the end of the transaction, as a
result of 7e174fa793a2df89fe03d002a5087ef67abcdde8. This, however,
causes the present problem. To fix, kill the workers immediately in all
cases. This covers all cases: A subscription that doesn't have a
replication slot must be disabled. It was either disabled in the same
transaction, or it was already disabled before the current transaction,
but then there shouldn't be any workers left and this won't make a
difference.

Add item about number of times statement-level triggers will be fired.
Rearrange the compatibility items into (what seems to me) a less
random ordering.
AfterTriggerEndQuery correctly notes that the query_stack could get
repalloc'd during a trigger firing, but it nonetheless passes the address
of a query_stack entry to afterTriggerInvokeEvents, so that if such a
repalloc occurs, afterTriggerInvokeEvents is already working with an
obsolete dangling pointer while it scans the rest of the events. Oops.
The only code at risk is its "delete_ok" cleanup code, so we can
prevent unsafe behavior by passing delete_ok = false instead of true.
However, that could have a significant performance penalty, because the
point of passing delete_ok = true is to not have to re-scan possibly
a large number of dead trigger events on the next time through the loop.
There's more than one way to skin that cat, though. What we can do is
delete all the "chunks" in the event list except the last one, since
we know all events in them must be dead. Deleting the chunks is work
we'd have had to do later in AfterTriggerEndQuery anyway, and it ends
up saving rescanning of just about the same events we'd have gotten
rid of with delete_ok = true.
In v10 and HEAD, we also have to be careful to mop up any per-table
after_trig_events pointers that would become dangling. This is slightly
annoying, but I don't think that normal use-cases will traverse this code
path often enough for it to be a performance problem.
It's pretty hard to hit this in practice because of the unlikelihood
of the query_stack getting resized at just the wrong time. Nonetheless,
it's definitely a live bug of ancient standing, so back-patch to all
supported branches.

Commit 0f79440fb introduced mechanism to keep AFTER STATEMENT triggers
from firing more than once per statement, which was formerly possible
if more than one FK enforcement action had to be applied to a given
table. Add a similar mechanism for BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, so that
we don't have the unexpected situation of firing BEFORE STATEMENT
triggers more often than AFTER STATEMENT.
As with the previous patch, back-patch to v10.

I noticed that there were exactly no complete examples of use of
a transition table in a trigger function, and no clear description
of just how you'd do it either. Improve that.
The standard says that all changes of the same kind (insert, update, or
delete) caused in one table by a single SQL statement should be reported
in a single transition table; and by that, they mean to include foreign key
enforcement actions cascading from the statement's direct effects. It's
also reasonable to conclude that if the standard had wCTEs, they would say
that effects of wCTEs applying to the same table as each other or the outer
statement should be merged into one transition table. We weren't doing it
like that.
Hence, arrange to merge tuples from multiple update actions into a single
transition table as much as we can. There is a problem, which is that if
the firing of FK enforcement triggers and after-row triggers with
transition tables is interspersed, we might need to report more tuples
after some triggers have already seen the transition table. It seems like
a bad idea for the transition table to be mutable between trigger calls.
There's no good way around this without a major redesign of the FK logic,
so for now, resolve it by opening a new transition table each time this
happens.
Also, ensure that AFTER STATEMENT triggers fire just once per statement,
or once per transition table when we're forced to make more than one.
Previous versions of Postgres have allowed each FK enforcement query
to cause an additional firing of the AFTER STATEMENT triggers for the
referencing table, but that's certainly not per spec. (We're still
doing multiple firings of BEFORE STATEMENT triggers, though; is that
something worth changing?)
Also, forbid using transition tables with column-specific UPDATE triggers.
The spec requires such transition tables to show only the tuples for which
the UPDATE trigger would have fired, which means maintaining multiple
transition tables or else somehow filtering the contents at readout.
Maybe someday we'll bother to support that option, but it looks like a
lot of trouble for a marginal feature.
The transition tables are now managed by the AfterTriggers data structures,
rather than being directly the responsibility of ModifyTable nodes. This
removes a subtransaction-lifespan memory leak introduced by my previous
band-aid patch 3c4359521.
In passing, refactor the AfterTriggers data structures to reduce the
management overhead for them, by using arrays of structs rather than
several parallel arrays for per-query-level and per-subtransaction state.
I failed to resist the temptation to do some copy-editing on the SGML
docs about triggers, above and beyond merely documenting the effects
of this patch.
Back-patch to v10, because we don't want the semantics of transition
tables to change post-release.
Patch by me, with help and review from Thomas Munro.

Backpatch: 10, as d47cfef711
The order in which GRANTs are output is important as GRANTs which have
been GRANT'd by individuals via WITH GRANT OPTION GRANTs have to come
after the GRANT which included the WITH GRANT OPTION. This happens
naturally in the backend during normal operation as we only change
existing ACLs in-place, only add new ACLs to the end, and when removing
an ACL we remove any which depend on it also.
Also, adjust the comments in acl.h to make this clear.
Unfortunately, the updates to pg_dump to handle initial privileges
involved pulling apart ACLs and then combining them back together and
could end up putting them back together in an invalid order, leading to
dumps which wouldn't restore.
Fix this by adjusting the queries used by pg_dump to ensure that the
ACLs are rebuilt in the same order in which they were originally.
Back-patch to 9.6 where the changes for initial privileges were done.
The documentation claimed that one should send
"pg_same_as_startup_message" as the user name in the SCRAM messages, but
this did not match the actual implementation, so remove it.
This makes it clear that pg_upgrade standby upgrade instructions should
only be used in link mode, adds examples, and explains how rsync works
with links.

AFTER triggers using transition tables crashed if they were fired due
to a foreign key ON CASCADE update. This is because ExecEndModifyTable
flushes the transition tables, on the assumption that any trigger that
could need them was already fired during ExecutorFinish. Normally
that's true, because we don't allow transition-table-using triggers
to be deferred. However, foreign key CASCADE updates force any
triggers on the referencing table to be deferred to the outer query
level, by means of the EXEC_FLAG_SKIP_TRIGGERS flag. I don't recall
all the details of why it's like that and am pretty loath to redesign
it right now. Instead, just teach ExecEndModifyTable to skip destroying
the TransitionCaptureState when that flag is set. This will allow the
transition table data to survive until end of the current subtransaction.
This isn't a terribly satisfactory solution, because (1) we might be
leaking the transition tables for much longer than really necessary,
and (2) as things stand, an AFTER STATEMENT trigger will fire once per
RI updating query, ie once per row updated or deleted in the referenced
table. I suspect that is not per SQL spec. But redesigning this is a
research project that we're certainly not going to get done for v10.
So let's go with this hackish answer for now.
In passing, tweak AfterTriggerSaveEvent to not save the transition_capture
pointer into the event record for a deferrable trigger. This is not
necessary to fix the current bug, but it avoids letting dangling pointers
to long-gone transition tables persist in the trigger event queue. That's
at least a safety feature. It might also allow merging shared trigger
states in more cases than before.
I added a regression test that demonstrates the crash on unpatched code,
and also exposes the behavior of firing the AFTER STATEMENT triggers
once per row update.

This doesn't allow routing tuple to the foreign partitions themselves,

We already had a psql variable VERSION that shows the verbose form of
psql's own version. Add VERSION_NAME to show the short form (e.g.,
"11devel") and VERSION_NUM to show the numeric form (e.g., 110000).
Also add SERVER_VERSION_NAME and SERVER_VERSION_NUM to show the short and
numeric forms of the server's version. (We'd probably add SERVER_VERSION
with the verbose string if it were readily available; but adding another
network round trip to get it seems too expensive.)
The numeric forms, in particular, are expected to be useful for scripting
purposes, now that psql can do conditional tests.

Throttling for sending a base backup in walsender is broken for the case
where there is a lot of WAL traffic, because the latch used to put the
walsender to sleep is also signalled by regular WAL traffic (and each
signal causes an additional batch of data to be sent); the net effect is
that there is no or little actual throttling. This is undesirable, so
rewrite the sleep into a loop to achieve the desired effeect.
