677989cc01 Avoid unnecessary out-of-memory errors during encoding conversion.
Encoding conversion uses the very simplistic rule that the output
can't be more than 4X longer than the input, and palloc's a buffer
of that size.  This results in failure to convert any string longer
than 1/4 GB, which is becoming an annoying limitation.

As a band-aid to improve matters, allow the allocated output buffer
size to exceed 1GB.  We still insist that the final result fit into
MaxAllocSize (1GB), though.  Perhaps it'd be safe to relax that
restriction, but it'd require close analysis of all callers, which
is daunting (not least because external modules might call these
functions).  For the moment, this should allow a 2X to 4X improvement
in the longest string we can convert, which is a useful gain in
return for quite a simple patch.

Also, once we have successfully converted a long string, repalloc
the output down to the actual string length, returning the excess
to the malloc pool.  This seems worth doing since we can usually
expect to give back several MB if we take this path at all.

This still leaves much to be desired, most notably that the assumption
that MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH == 4 is very fragile, and yet we have no
guard code verifying that the output buffer isn't overrun.  Fixing
that would require significant changes in the encoding conversion
APIs, so it'll have to wait for some other day.

The present patch seems safely back-patchable, so patch all supported
branches.

e5e4f12a5f Allow repalloc() to give back space when a large chunk is downsized.
Up to now, if you resized a large (>8K) palloc chunk down to a smaller
size, aset.c made no attempt to return any space to the malloc pool.
That's unpleasant if a really large allocation is resized to a
significantly smaller size.  I think no such cases existed when this
code was designed, and I'm not sure whether they're common even yet,
but an upcoming fix to encoding conversion will certainly create such
cases.  Therefore, fix AllocSetRealloc so that it gives realloc()
a chance to do something with the block.  This doesn't noticeably
increase complexity, we mostly just have to change the order in which
the cases are considered.

Back-patch to all supported branches.

6db0d7f359 Selectively include window frames in expression walks/mutates.
query_tree_walker and query_tree_mutator were skipping the
windowClause of the query, without regard for the fact that the
startOffset and endOffset in a WindowClause node are expression trees
that need to be processed. This was an oversight in commit ec4be2ee6
from 2010 which added the expression fields; the main symptom is that
function parameters in window frame clauses don't work in inlined
functions.

Fix (as conservatively as possible since this needs to not break
existing out-of-tree callers) and add tests.

Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken since 9.0.

Per report from Alastair McKinley; fix by me with kibitzing and review
from Tom Lane.

The test name and the following test cases suggest the index created
should be hash index, but it forgot to add 'using hash' in the test case.
This in itself won't improve code coverage as there were some other tests
which were covering the corresponding code.  However, it is better if the
added tests serve their actual purpose.

98b5c37852 Fix failure with lock mode used for custom relation options
In-core relation options can use a custom lock mode since 47167b7, that
has lowered the lock available for some autovacuum parameters.  However
it forgot to consider custom relation options.  This causes failures
with ALTER TABLE SET when changing a custom relation option, as its lock
is not defined.  The existing APIs to define a custom reloption does not
allow to define a custom lock mode, so enforce its initialization to
AccessExclusiveMode which should be safe enough in all cases.  An
upcoming patch will extend the existing APIs to allow a custom lock mode
to be defined.

The problem can be reproduced with bloom indexes, so add a test there.

6ddd164aaa Fix failure to zero-pad the result of bitshiftright().
If the bitstring length is not a multiple of 8, we'd shift the
rightmost bits into the pad space, which must be zeroes --- bit_cmp,
for one, depends on that.  This'd lead to the result failing to
compare equal to what it should compare equal to, as reported in
bug #16013 from Daryl Waycott.

This is, if memory serves, not the first such bug in the bitstring
functions.  In hopes of making it the last one, do a bit more work
than minimally necessary to fix the bug:

* Add assertion checks to bit_out() and varbit_out() to complain if
they are given incorrectly-padded input.  This will improve the
odds that manual testing of any new patch finds problems.

* Encapsulate the padding-related logic in macros to make it
easier to use.

Also, remove unnecessary padding logic from bit_or() and bitxor().
Somebody had already noted that we need not re-pad the result of
bit_and() since the inputs are required to be the same length,
but failed to extrapolate that to the other two.

Also, move a comment block that once was near the head of varbit.c
(but people kept putting other stuff in front of it), to put it in
the header block.

Note for the release notes: if anyone has inconsistent data as a
result of saving the output of bitshiftright() in a table, it's
possible to fix it with something like
UPDATE mytab SET bitcol = ~(~bitcol) WHERE bitcol != ~(~bitcol);

This has been broken since day one, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

53d9cf2db5 Improve handling of NULLs in KNN-GiST and KNN-SP-GiST
This commit improves subject in two ways:

 * It removes ugliness of 02f90879e7, which stores distance values and null
   flags in two separate arrays after GISTSearchItem struct.  Instead we pack
   both distance value and null flag in IndexOrderByDistance struct.  Alignment
   overhead should be negligible, because we typically deal with at most few
   "col op const" expressions in ORDER BY clause.
 * It fixes handling of "col op NULL" expression in KNN-SP-GiST.  Now, these
   expression are not passed to support functions, which can't deal with them.
   Instead, NULL result is implicitly assumed.  It future we may decide to
   teach support functions to deal with NULL arguments, but current solution is
   bugfix suitable for backpatch.

b00132b9a2 Fix usage of whole-row variables in WCO and RLS policy expressions.
Since WITH CHECK OPTION was introduced, ExecInitModifyTable has
initialized WCO expressions with the wrong plan node as parent -- that is,
it passed its input subplan not the ModifyTable node itself.  Up to now
we thought this was harmless, but bug #16006 from Vinay Banakar shows it's
not: if the input node is a SubqueryScan then ExecInitWholeRowVar can get
confused into doing the wrong thing.  (The fact that ExecInitWholeRowVar
contains such logic is certainly a horrid kluge that doesn't deserve to
live, but figuring out another way to do that is a task for some other day.)

Andres had already noticed the wrong-parent mistake and fixed it in commit
148e632c0, but not being aware of any user-visible consequences, he quite
reasonably didn't back-patch.  This patch is simply a back-patch of
148e632c0, plus addition of a test case based on bug #16006.  I also added
the test case to v12/HEAD, even though the bug is already fixed there.

Back-patch to all supported branches.  9.4 lacks RLS policies so the
new test case doesn't work there, but I'm pretty sure a test could be
devised based on using a whole-row Var in a plain WITH CHECK OPTION
condition.  (I lack the cycles to do so myself, though.)

The old code didn't differentiate between a read error and a

you have to use feof() or ferror() to distinguish between them,
which this code did not do.

It might be a better idea to use read() rather than fread() here,
so that we can display a less-generic error message, but I'm not
sure that would qualify as a back-patchable bug fix, so just do
this much for now.

f4b91a50e9 Fix thinko when ending progress report for a backend
The logic ending progress reporting for a backend entry introduced by
b6fb647 causes callers of pgstat_progress_end_command() to do some extra
work when track_activities is enabled as the process fields are reset in
the backend entry even if no command were started for reporting.

This resets the fields only if a command is registered for progress
reporting, and only if track_activities is enabled.

b0b2ef25e3 Handle corner cases correctly in psql's reconnection logic.
After an unexpected connection loss and successful reconnection,
psql neglected to resynchronize its internal state about the server,
such as server version.  Ordinarily we'd be reconnecting to the same
server and so this isn't really necessary, but there are scenarios
where we do need to update --- one example is where we have a list
of possible connection targets and they're not all alike.

Define "resynchronize" as including connection_warnings(), so that
this case acts the same as \connect.  This seems useful; for example,
if the server version did change, the user might wish to know that.
An attuned user might also notice that the new connection isn't
SSL-encrypted, for example, though this approach isn't especially
in-your-face about such changes.  Although this part is a behavioral
change, it only affects interactive sessions, so it should not break
any applications.

Also, in do_connect, make sure that we desynchronize correctly when
abandoning an old connection in non-interactive mode.

These problems evidently are the result of people patching only one
of the two places where psql deals with connection changes, so insert
some cross-referencing comments in hopes of forestalling future bugs
of the same ilk.

Lastly, in Windows builds, issue codepage mismatch warnings only at
startup, not during reconnections.  psql's codepage can't change
during a reconnect, so complaining about it again seems like useless
noise.

e2e616579a Fix overflow check and comment in GIN posting list encoding.
The comment did not match what the code actually did for integers with
the 43rd bit set. You get an integer like that, if you have a posting
list with two adjacent TIDs that are more than 2^31 blocks apart.
According to the comment, we would store that in 6 bytes, with no
continuation bit on the 6th byte, but in reality, the code encodes it
using 7 bytes, with a continuation bit on the 6th byte as normal.

The decoding routine also handled these 7-byte integers correctly, except
for an overflow check that assumed that one integer needs at most 6 bytes.
Fix the overflow check, and fix the comment to match what the code
actually does. Also fix the comment that claimed that there are 17 unused
bits in the 64-bit representation of an item pointer. In reality, there
are 64-32-11=21.

Fitting any item pointer into max 6 bytes was an important property when
this was written, because in the old pre-9.4 format, item pointers were
stored as plain arrays, with 6 bytes for every item pointer. The maximum
of 6 bytes per integer in the new format guaranteed that we could convert
any page from the old format to the new format after upgrade, so that the
new format was never larger than the old format. But we hardly need to
worry about that anymore, and running into that problem during upgrade,
where an item pointer is expanded from 6 to 7 bytes such that the data
doesn't fit on a page anymore, is implausible in practice anyway.

Backpatch to all supported versions.

This also includes a little test module to test these large distances
between item pointers, without requiring a 16 TB table. It is not
backpatched, I'm including it more for the benefit of future development
of new posting list formats.

d64789e97c Disable timeouts when running pg_rewind with online source cluster
In this case, the transfer uses a libpq connection, which is subject to
the timeout parameters set at system level, and this can make the rewind
operation suddenly canceled which is not good for automation.  One
workaround to such issues would be to use PGOPTIONS to enforce the
wanted timeout parameters, but that's annoying, and for example pg_dump,
which can run potentially long-running queries disables all types of
timeouts.

lock_timeout and statement_timeout are the ones which can cause problems
now.  Note that pg_rewind does not use transactions, so disabling
idle_in_transaction_session_timeout is optional, but it feels safer to
do so for the future.

This is back-patched down to 9.5.  idle_in_transaction_session_timeout
is only present since 9.6.

5efa4a3e70 Doc: clarify behavior of standard aggregates for null inputs.
Section 4.2.7 says that unless otherwise specified, built-in
aggregates ignore rows in which any input is null.  This is
not true of the JSON aggregates, but it wasn't documented.
Fix that.

Of the other entries in table 9.55, some were explicit about
ignoring nulls, and some weren't; for consistency and
self-contained-ness, make them all say it explicitly.

465f4dddae Reject empty names and recursion in config-file include directives.
An empty file name or subdirectory name leads join_path_components() to
just produce the parent directory name, which leads to weird failures or
recursive inclusions.  Let's throw a specific error for that.  It takes
only slightly more code to detect all-blank names, so do so.

Also, detect direct recursion, ie a file calling itself.  As coded
this will also detect recursion via "include_dir '.'", which is
perhaps more likely than explicitly including the file itself.

Detecting indirect recursion would require API changes for guc-file.l
functions, which seems not worth it since extensions might call them.
The nesting depth limit will catch such cases eventually, just not
with such an on-point error message.

In passing, adjust the example usages in postgresql.conf.sample
to perhaps eliminate the problem at the source: there's no reason
for the examples to suggest that an empty value is valid.

Per a trouble report from Brent Bates.  Back-patch to 9.5; the
issue is old, but the code in 9.4 is enough different that the
patch doesn't apply easily, and it doesn't seem worth the trouble
to fix there.

c4d75313ee Fix failure of --jobs with vacuumdb on Windows
FD_SETSIZE needs to be declared before winsock2.h, or it is possible to
run into buffer overflow issues when using --jobs.  This is similar to
pgbench's solution done in a23c641.

This has been introduced by 71d84ef, and older versions have been using
the default value of FD_SETSIZE, defined at 64.  While on it, add a
missing newline to the previously-added error message.

Per buildfarm member jacana, but this impacts all Windows animals
running the TAP tests.  I have reproduced the failure locally to check
the patch.

eb91b8ee65 Fix error handling of vacuumdb when running out of fds
When trying to use a high number of jobs, vacuumdb has only checked for
a maximum number of jobs used, causing confusing failures when running
out of file descriptors when the jobs open connections to Postgres.
This commit changes the error handling so as we do not check anymore for
a maximum number of allowed jobs when parsing the option value with
FD_SETSIZE, but check instead if a file descriptor is within the
supported range when opening the connections for the jobs so as this is
detected at the earliest time possible.

Also, improve the error message to give a hint about the number of jobs
recommended, using a wording given by the reviewers of the patch.

28d2ce3c7c Avoid platform-specific null pointer dereference in psql.
POSIX permits getopt() to advance optind beyond argc when the last
argv entry is an option that requires an argument and hasn't got one.
It seems that no major platforms actually do that, but musl does,
so that something like "psql -f" would crash with that libc.
Add a check that optind is in range before trying to look at the
possibly-bogus option.
