818119afcc has introduced the "generation" concept in pgstats entries,
incremented a counter when a pgstats entry is reinitialized, but it did
not count on the fact that backends still holding local references to
such entries need to be refreshed if the cache age is outdated. The
previous logic only updated local references when an entry was dropped,
but it needs also to consider entries that are reinitialized.
This matters for replication slot stats (as well as custom pgstats kinds
in 18~), where concurrent drops and creates of a slot could cause
incorrect stats to be locally referenced. This would lead to an
assertion failure at shutdown when writing out the stats file, as the
backend holding an outdated local reference would not be able to drop
during its shutdown sequence the stats entry that should be dropped, as
the last process holding a reference to the stats entry. The
checkpointer was then complaining about such an entry late in the
shutdown sequence, after the shutdown checkpoint is finished with the
control file updated, causing the stats file to not be generated. In
non-assert builds, the entry would just be skipped with the stats file
written.
Note that only logical replication slots use statistics.
A test case based on TAP is added to test_decoding, where a persistent
connection peeking at a slot's data is kept with concurrent drops and
creates of the same slot. This is based on the isolation test case that
Anton has sent. As it requires a node shutdown with a check to make
sure that the stats file is written with this specific sequence of
events, TAP is used instead.

When short-circuiting WindowAgg node evaluation on the top-level
WindowAgg node using quals on monotonic window functions, because the
WindowAgg run condition can mean there's no need to evaluate subsequent
window function results in the same partition once the run condition
becomes false, it was possible that the executor would use stale results
from the previous invocation of the window function in some cases.
A fix for this was partially done by a5832722, but that commit only
fixed the issue for non-top-level WindowAgg nodes. I mistakenly thought
that the top-level WindowAgg didn't have this issue, but Jayesh's example
case clearly shows that's incorrect. At the time, I also thought that
this only affected 32-bit systems as all window functions which then
supported run conditions returned BIGINT, however, that's wrong as
ExecProject is still called and that could cause evaluation of any other
window function belonging to the same WindowAgg node, one of which may
return a byref type.
The only queries affected by this are WindowAggs with a "Run Condition"
which contains at least one window function with a byref result type,
such as lead() or lag() on a byref column. The window clause must also
contain a PARTITION BY clause (without a PARTITION BY, execution of the
WindowAgg stops immediately when the run condition becomes false and
there's no risk of using the stale results).

Backpatch-through: 15, where WindowAgg run conditions were added
Usually an entry in pg_amop or pg_amproc does not need a dependency on
its amoplefttype/amoprighttype/amproclefttype/amprocrighttype types,
because there is an indirect dependency via the argument types of its
referenced operator or procedure, or via the opclass it belongs to.
However, for some support procedures in some index AMs, the argument
types of the support procedure might not mention the column data type
at all. Also, the amop/amproc entry might be treated as "loose" in
the opfamily, in which case it lacks a dependency on any particular
opclass; or it might be a cross-type entry having a reference to a
datatype that is not its opclass' opcintype.
The upshot of all this is that there are cases where a datatype can
be dropped while leaving behind amop/amproc entries that mention it,
because there is no path in pg_depend showing that those entries
depend on that type. Such entries are harmless in normal activity,
because they won't get used, but they cause problems for maintenance
actions such as dropping the operator family. They also cause pg_dump
to produce bogus output. The previous commit put a band-aid on the
DROP OPERATOR FAMILY failure, but a real fix is needed.
To fix, add pg_depend entries showing that a pg_amop/pg_amproc entry
depends on its lefttype/righttype. To avoid bloating pg_depend too
much, skip this if the referenced operator or function has that type
as an input type. (I did not bother with considering the possible
indirect dependency via the opclass' opcintype; at least in the
reported case, that wouldn't help anyway.)
Probably, the reason this has escaped notice for so long is that
add-on datatypes and relevant opclasses/opfamilies are usually
packaged as extensions nowadays, so that there's no way to drop
a type without dropping the referencing opclasses/opfamilies too.
Still, in the absence of pg_depend entries there's nothing that
constrains DROP EXTENSION to drop the opfamily entries before the
datatype, so it seems possible for a DROP failure to occur anyway.
The specific case that was reported doesn't fail in v13, because
v13 prefers to attach the support procedure to the opclass not the
opfamily. But it's surely possible to construct other edge cases
that do fail in v13, so patch that too.
Per report from Yoran Heling. Back-patch to all supported branches.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/Z1MVCOh1hprjK5Sf@gmai021
Yoran Heling reported a case where a data type could be dropped
while references to its OID remain behind in pg_amproc. This
causes getObjectDescription to fail, which blocks dropping the
operator family (since our DROP code likes to construct descriptions
of everything it's dropping). The proper fix for this requires
adding more pg_depend entries. But to allow DROP to go through with
already-corrupt catalogs, tweak getObjectDescription to print "???"
for the type instead of failing when it processes such an entry.
I changed the logic for pg_amop similarly, for consistency,
although it is not known that the problem can manifest in pg_amop.

These format codes produce or consume strings of digits, so they
should be labeled with is_digit = true, but they were not.
This has effect in only one place, where is_next_separator()
is checked to see if the preceding format code should slurp up
all the available digits. Thus, with a format such as '...SSFF3'
with remaining input '12345', the 'SS' code would consume all
five digits (and then complain about seconds being out of range)

Before this patch, misplacing a special must-be-first option for
dispatching to a subprogram (e.g., postgres -D . --single) would
fail with an error like
FATAL: --single requires a value
This patch adjusts this error to more accurately complain that the
special option wasn't listed first. The aforementioned error
message now looks like
FATAL: --single must be first argument
The dispatch option parsing code has been refactored for use
wherever ParseLongOption() is called. Beyond the obvious advantage
of avoiding code duplication, this should prevent similar problems
when new dispatch options are added. Note that we assume that none
of the dispatch option names match another valid command-line
argument, such as the name of a configuration parameter.
Ideally, we'd remove this must-be-first requirement for these
options, but after some investigation, we decided that wasn't worth
the added complexity and behavior changes.

parallel_vacuum_reset_dead_items used a local variable to hold a
pointer from the passed vacrel, purely as a shorthand. This pointer
was later freed and a new allocation was made and stored to the
struct. Then the local pointer was mistakenly referenced again.
This apparently happened not to break anything since the freed chunk
would have been put on the context's freelist, so it was accidentally
the same pointer anyway, in which case the DSA handle was correctly
updated. The minimal fix is to change two places so they access
dead_items through the vacrel. This coding style is a maintenance
hazard, so while at it get rid of most other similar usages, which
were inconsistently used anyway.

Ensure stored generated columns that are part of REPLICA IDENTITY must be

can publish generated columns by listing them in the column list or by
enabling the publish_generated_columns option.
This commit changes the behavior of the test added in commit adedf54e65 by
giving an ERROR for the UPDATE operation in such cases. There is no way to
trigger the bug reported in commit adedf54e65 but we didn't remove the
corresponding code change because it is still relevant when replicating
changes from a publisher with version less than 18.
We decided not to backpatch this behavior change to avoid the risk of
breaking existing output plugins that may be sending generated columns by

any reports related to this on STABLE branches which is another reason not

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses. With this
change, NAMEDATALEN could be increased with a much smaller negative impact
on performance.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4
bytes.

for the frontend.
- In psql's describe.c, substream can be switched to use CppAsString2()
with its three LOGICALREP_STREAM_* values, with pg_subscription_d.h
included.
- pg_dump.c included pg_subscription.h, which is a header that should
only be used in the backend code. The code is updated to use

- pg_dump stored all the data from pg_subscription in SubscriptionInfo
with only strings, and a good chunk of them are boolean and char values.
Using strings is not necessary, complicates the code (see for example
two_phase_disabled[] removed here), and is inconsistent with the way
other catalogs' data is handled. The fields of SubscriptionInfo are
reordered to match with the order in its catalog, while on it.

because it meant that if the XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE record preceded a
XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record in the WAL, then the truncation would also
happen on disk before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was

However, it didn't guarantee that the sync request for the truncation
was processed before the XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE record was written. By
setting DELAY_CHKPT_START, we guarantee that if an XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE

PostgreSQL are vulnerable to pass-the-hash attacks, i.e., knowing

The loops over cursor argument variables neglected to ever advance
"prevvar". The code would accidentally do the right thing anyway
when removing the first or second list entry, but if it had to
remove the third or later entry then it would also remove all
entries between there and the first entry. AFAICS this would
only matter for cursors that reference out-of-scope variables,
which is a weird Informix compatibility hack; between that and
the lack of impact for short lists, it's not so surprising that
nobody has complained. Nonetheless it's a pretty obvious bug.
It would have been more obvious if these loops used a more standard
coding style for chasing the linked lists --- this business with the
"prev" pointer sometimes pointing at the current list entry is
confusing and overcomplicated. So rather than just add a minimal
band-aid, I chose to rewrite the loops in the same style we use
elsewhere, where the "prev" pointer is NULL until we are dealing with
a non-first entry and we save the "next" pointer at the top of the
loop. (Two of the four loops touched here are not actually buggy,
but it seems better to make them all look alike.)
Coverity discovered this problem, but not until 2b41de4a5 added code
to free no-longer-needed arguments structs. With that, the incorrect
link updates are possibly touching freed memory, and it complained
about that. Nonetheless the list corruption hazard is ancient, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
As I'd feared, commit 5c9d8636d was still a few bricks shy of a load.
We can't just leave pulled-up lateral-reference Vars with no new

"wrong varnullingrels" errors. This is a bit tedious, but it looks
like we can use the nullingrel data this patch computes for other
purposes, enabling better optimization. We don't want to inject
unnecessary plan changes into stable branches though, so leave that
idea for a later HEAD-only patch.
