The code for initializing the tapes on each merge iteration was skipped
in a parallel worker. I put the !WORKER(state) check in wrong place while
rebasing the patch.
That caused failures in the index build in 'multiple-row-versions'
isolation test, in multiple buildfarm members. On my laptop it was easier
to reproduce by building an index on a larger table, so that you got a
parallel sort more reliably.
The previous commit 65014000b3 changed the variable passed to elog
from an int64 to a size_t variable, but neglected to change the modifier
in the format string accordingly.
Per failure on buildfarm member lapwing.
The advantage of polyphase merge is that it can reuse the input tapes as
output tapes efficiently, but that is irrelevant on modern hardware, when
we can easily emulate any number of tape drives. The number of input tapes
we can/should use during merging is limited by work_mem, but output tapes
that we are not currently writing to only cost a little bit of memory, so
there is no need to skimp on them.
This makes sorts that need multiple merge passes faster.

All the tape functions, like LogicalTapeRead and LogicalTapeWrite, now
take a LogicalTape as argument, instead of LogicalTapeSet+tape number.
You can create any number of LogicalTapes in a single LogicalTapeSet, and
you don't need to decide the number upfront, when you create the tape set.
This makes the tape management in hash agg spilling in nodeAgg.c simpler.

During a replication slot creation, an ERROR generated in the same
transaction as the one creating a to-be-exported snapshot would have
left the backend in an inconsistent state, as the associated static
export snapshot state was not being reset on transaction abort, but only
on the follow-up command received by the WAL sender that created this
snapshot on replication slot creation. This would trigger inconsistency
failures if this session tried to export again a snapshot, like during
the creation of a replication slot.
Note that a snapshot export cannot happen in a transaction block, so
there is no need to worry resetting this state for subtransaction
aborts. Also, this inconsistent state would very unlikely show up to
users. For example, one case where this could happen is an
out-of-memory error when building the initial snapshot to-be-exported.

The tests added by c0280bc and d9ddc50 in 001_basic.pl have introduced
commands calling directly psql, making them sensitive to the
environment. One issue was that those commands forgot -X to not use a
local .psqlrc, causing all those tests to fail if psql cannot properly
parse this file.
TAP tests should be designed so as they run in an isolated fashion,
without any dependency on the environment where they are run. As
PostgresNode::psql gives already all the facilities those new tests
need, switch to that instead of calling plain psql commands where
interactions with a backend are needed. The test is slightly refactored
to be able to check after the expected patterns of stdout and stderr,
keeping the same amount of coverage as previously.

It was clearly the intent to do so all along, but the original coding
fat-fingered this by checking the wrong array element. We fixed it
in passing in 403a3d91c, but that later got reverted, and we forgot
to keep this bug fix.
Most of the time this'd be relatively harmless, since once we lock
any of the partitioned table's leaf partitions, that would suffice
to prevent major DDL on the partitioned table itself. However, a
childless partitioned table would get dumped with no relevant lock
whatsoever, possibly allowing dump failure or inconsistent output.
Unlike 403a3d91c, there are no versioning concerns, since every server
version that has partitioned tables will allow you to lock one.

CreateOverwriteContrecordRecord(), UpdateFullPageWrites(),
PerformRecoveryXLogAction(), and CleanupAfterArchiveRecovery()
are moved somewhat later in StartupXLOG(). This is preparatory
work for a future patch that wants to allow recovery to end at one
time and only later start to allow WAL writes. To do that, it's
necessary to separate code that has to do with allowing WAL writes
from other things that need to happen simply because recovery is
ending, such as initializing shared memory data structures that
depend on information that might not be accurate before redo is
complete.
This commit does not achieve that goal, but it is a step in that
direction. For example, there are a few different bits of code that
write things into WAL once we have finished recovery, and with this
change, those bits of code are closer to each other than previously,
with fewer unrelated bits of code interspersed.

Avoid calling contrib/amcheck functions with relations that are
unsuitable for checking. Specifically, don't attempt verification of
temporary relations, or indexes whose pg_index entry indicates that the
index is invalid, or not ready.
These relations are not supported by any of the contrib/amcheck
functions, for reasons that are pretty fundamental. For example, the
implementation of REINDEX CONCURRENTLY can add its own "transient"
pg_index entries, which has rather unclear implications for the B-Tree
verification functions, at least in the general case -- so they just
treat it as an error. It falls to the amcheck caller (in this case
pg_amcheck) to deal with the situation at a higher level.
pg_amcheck now simply treats these conditions as additional "visibility
concerns" when it queries system catalogs. This is a little arbitrary.
It seems to have the least problems among any of the available
alternatives.

This fixes a set of issues that cause different breakages or annoyances
when using pg_upgrade's test.sh to do upgrades across different major
versions:
- test.sh is completely broken when using v14 as new version because of
the removal of testtablespace/ as Makefile rule. Older versions of
pg_regress don't support --make-tablespacedir, blocking the creation of
the tablespace. In order to fix that, it is simple enough to create
those directories in the script itself, but only do that when an old
version is involved. This fix is needed on HEAD and REL_14_STABLE.
- The script would fail when using PG <= v11 as old version because of
WITH OIDS relations not supported in v12. In order to fix this, this
steals a method from the buildfarm that uses a DO block to change all
the relations marked as WITH OIDS, allowing pg_upgrade to pass. This is
more portable than using ALTER TABLE queries on the relations causing
issues. This is fixed down to v12, and authored originally by Andrew
Dunstan.
- Not using --extra-float-digits=0 with v11 as old version causes
a lot of diffs in the dumps, making the whole unreadable. This gets
only done when using v11 as old version. This is fixed down to v12.
The buildfarm code uses that already.
Note that the addition of --wal-segsize and --allow-group-access breaks
the script when using v10 or older at initdb time as these got added in
11. 10 would be EOL'd next year and nobody has complained about those
problems yet, so nothing is done about that. This means that this
commit fixes upgrade tests using test.sh with v11 as minimum older
version, up to HEAD, and that it is enough to apply this change down to
12. The old and new dumps still generate diffs, still require manual
checks, and more could be done to reduce the noise, but this allows the
tests to run with a rather minimal amount of them.
I have tested this commit and test.sh with v11 as minimum across all the
branches where this is applied. Note that this commit has no impact on
the normal pg_upgrade test run with a simple "make check".

Incrementing the level of the call stack reported is useful for

that call routines from Test::More.
This adds more incrementations of $Test::Builder::Level where debugging
gets improved (for example it does not make sense for some paths like
pg_rewind where long subroutines are used).

Now it's necessary to update the ancestors list *first*, because
set_deparse_plan consults it, and one call site got that wrong.
This error was masked in most cases because explain.c uses just one
List object for the ancestors list, updating it in-place as the plan

send_message_to_server_log() would force a redirection of a log entry to
stderr in some cases for csvlog, like the syslogger not being available
yet. If this happens, csvlog would fall back to stderr to log
some information rather than nothing. The code was organized so as
stderr is done before csvlog, with csvlog checking that stderr did not
happen yet with a reversed condition. With this code organization, it
could be possible to lose some messages if running Postgres as a service
on WIN32, as there is no usable stderr, and the handling of the
StringInfoData holding the message for stderr was rather confusing
because of that.
This commit moves the csvlog handling to be before stderr, as as we are
able to track down if it is necessary to log something to stderr. The
reduces the handling of stderr to be in a single code path, adding a
fallback to event logs for a WIN32 service. This also simplifies the
way we handle the StringInfoData for stderr, making easier the
integration of new file-based log destinations. I got to play with
services and event logs on Windows while checking this change.

stderr and csvlog have been using duplicated code when it came to the
rotation of their file by size, age or if forced by a user request
(pg_ctl logrotate or the SQL function pg_rotate_logfile). The main
difference between both is that stderr requires its file to always be
opened, so as it is possible to have a redirection route if the logging
collector is not ready yet to do its work if alternate destinations are
enabled.
Also, if csvlog gets disabled, we need to close properly its meta-data
stored in the logging collector (last file name for current_logfiles and
fd currently open for business). Except for those points, the code is
the same in terms of error handling and if a file should be created or
just continued.
This change makes the code simpler overall, and it will help in the
introduction of more file-based log destinations. This refactoring is
similar to the work done in 5b0b699. Most of the duplication originates
from fd801f4.
Some of the TAP tests of pg_ctl check the case of a forced log rotation,
but this is somewhat limited as there is no coverage for
log_rotation_age or log_rotation_size (these may not be worth the extra
resources to run either), and no coverage for reload of log_destination
with different combinations of stderr and csvlog. I have tested all
those cases separately for this refactoring.

This fixes a loss of precision that occurs when the first input is
very close to 1, so that its logarithm is very small.
Formerly, during the initial low-precision calculation to estimate the
result weight, the logarithm was computed to a local rscale that was
capped to NUMERIC_MAX_DISPLAY_SCALE (1000). However, the base may be
as close as 1e-16383 to 1, hence its logarithm may be as small as
1e-16383, and so the local rscale needs to be allowed to exceed 16383,
otherwise all precision is lost, leading to a poor choice of rscale
for the full-precision calculation.
Fix this by removing the cap on the local rscale during the initial
low-precision calculation, as we already do in the full-precision
calculation. This doesn't change the fact that the initial calculation
is a low-precision approximation, computing the logarithm to around 8
significant digits, which is very fast, especially when the base is
very close to 1.

hard to extend. Instead, adopt the same kind of syntax we've used for
SQL commands such as VACUUM, ANALYZE, COPY, and EXPLAIN, where it's
not necessary for all of the option names to be parser keywords.
In the new syntax, most of the options now take an optional Boolean
argument. To match our practice in other in places, the options which
the old syntax called NOWAIT and NOVERIFY_CHECKSUMS options are in the
new syntax called WAIT and VERIFY_CHECKUMS, and the default value is
false. In the new syntax, the FAST option has been replaced by a
CHECKSUM option whose value may be 'fast' or 'spread'.

Commit 0668719801 changed XLogPageRead() so that it validated the page
header, if invalid page header was found reset the error message and
retried reading the page, to fix the scenario where streaming standby
got stuck at a continuation record. This change hid the error message
about invalid page header, which would make it harder for users to
investigate what the actual issue was found in WAL.
To fix the issue, this commit makes XLogPageRead() report the error
message when invalid page header is found.
When not in standby mode, an invalid page header should cause recovery
to end, not retry reading the page, so XLogPageRead() doesn't need to
validate the page header for the retry. Instead, ReadPageInternal() should
be responsible for the validation in that case. Therefore this commit
changes XLogPageRead() so that if not in standby mode it doesn't validate
the page header for the retry.
