I noticed that we completely failed to document the restriction
that an "anyrange" result type has to be inferred from an "anyrange"
input. The docs also were less clear than they could be about the
relationship between "anyrange" and "anyarray".
It's been like this all along, so back-patch.
If pkg-config is installed and knows about libxml2, use its information
rather than asking xml2-config. Otherwise proceed as before. This
patch allows "configure --with-libxml" to succeed on platforms that
have pkg-config but not xml2-config, which is likely to soon become
a typical situation.
The old mechanism can be forced by setting XML2_CONFIG explicitly
(hence, build processes that were already doing so will certainly
not need adjustment). Also, it's now possible to set XML2_CFLAGS
and XML2_LIBS explicitly to override both programs.
There is a small risk of this breaking existing build processes,
if there are multiple libxml2 installations on the machine and
pkg-config disagrees with xml2-config about which to use. The
only case where that seems really likely is if a builder has tried
to select a non-default xml2-config by putting it early in his PATH
rather than setting XML2_CONFIG. Plan to warn against that in the
minor release notes.
Back-patch to v10; before that we had no pkg-config infrastructure,
and it doesn't seem worth adding it for this.

resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to
cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input.
The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or
output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed.
While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce
the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution. ISTM that
resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so
rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups
it requires for itself.
With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove
it in HEAD. In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug)
just in case any external code is using it.
While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c
with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types:
* Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result
flag. This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more
flags.
* Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and
resolve_polymorphic_argtypes().
* Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum;
the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing
"return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error
message. (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only
occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type
info from it.)
* For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if
we fail to resolve a polymorphic type.
The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to
all supported branches.

was lost when a table was rewritten by ALTER TABLE. Because this

RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() should never move
nextXid backwards. Before this commit, that could happen
if some other code path had advanced it without advancing
latestObservedXid.
One consequence is that a well timed XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE

vacuum to run too soon on the primary.

This coding technique is undesirable because (a) it leaks the FD for
the rest of the transaction if the SRF is not run to completion, and
(b) allocated FDs are a scarce resource, but multiple interleaved
uses of the relevant functions could eat many such FDs.
In v11 and later, a query such as "SELECT pg_ls_waldir() LIMIT 1"
yields a warning about the leaked FD, and the only reason there's
no warning in earlier branches is that fd.c didn't whine about such
leaks before commit 9cb7db3f0. Even disregarding the warning, it
wouldn't be too hard to run a backend out of FDs with careless use
of these SQL functions.
Hence, rewrite the function so that it reads the directory within
a single call, returning the results as a tuplestore rather than
via value-per-call mode.
There are half a dozen other built-in SRFs with similar problems,
but let's fix this one to start with, just to see if the buildfarm
finds anything wrong with the code.
In passing, fix bogus error report for stat() failure: it was
whining about the directory when it should be fingering the
individual file. Doubtless a copy-and-paste error.

If the command is attempted for an extension that the object already
depends on, silently do nothing.
In particular, this means that if a database containing multiple such

Previously, event triggers were restored just after regular triggers
(and FK constraints, which are basically triggers). This is risky
since an event trigger, once installed, could interfere with subsequent
restore commands. Worse, because event triggers don't have any
particular dependencies on any post-data objects, a parallel restore
would consider them eligible to be restored the moment the post-data
phase starts, allowing them to also interfere with restoration of a
whole bunch of objects that would have been restored before them in
a serial restore. There's no way to completely remove the risk of a
misguided event trigger breaking the restore, since if nothing else
it could break other event triggers. But we can certainly push them
to later in the process to minimize the hazard.
To fix, tweak the RestorePass mechanism introduced by commit 3eb9a5e7c
so that event triggers are handled as part of the post-ACL processing
pass (renaming the "REFRESH" pass to "POST_ACL" to reflect its more
general use). This will cause them to restore after everything except
matview refreshes, which seems OK since matview refreshes really ought
to run in the post-restore state of the database. In a parallel
restore, event triggers and matview refreshes might be intermixed,
but that seems all right as well.
Also update the code and comments in pg_dump_sort.c so that its idea
of how things are sorted agrees with what actually happens due to
the RestorePass mechanism. This is mostly cosmetic: it'll affect the
order of objects in a dump's TOC, but not the actual restore order.
But not changing that would be quite confusing to somebody reading
the code.

Previously "waiting" could appear twice via PS in case of lock conflict
in hot standby mode. Specifically this issue happend when the delay
in WAL application determined by max_standby_archive_delay and
max_standby_streaming_delay had passed but it took more than 500 msec
to cancel all the conflicting transactions. Especially we can observe this
easily by setting those delay parameters to -1.
The cause of this issue was that WaitOnLock() and
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() added "waiting" to
the process title in that case. This commit prevents

At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last
valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was
reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source
was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last
valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode.
This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that
WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true.
This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream
even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure.
This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion
disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not
in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file
from archive or pg_wal.

The function hash table keys made by compute_function_hashkey() failed
to distinguish event-trigger call context from regular call context.
This meant that once we'd successfully made a hash entry for an event
trigger (either by validation, or by normal use as an event trigger),
an attempt to call the trigger function as a plain function would
find this hash entry and thereby bypass the you-can't-do-that check in
do_compile(). Thus we'd attempt to execute the function, leading to
strange errors or even crashes, depending on function contents and
server version.
To fix, add an isEventTrigger field to PLpgSQL_func_hashkey,
paralleling the longstanding infrastructure for regular triggers.
This fits into what had been pad space, so there's no risk of an ABI
break, even assuming that any third-party code is looking at these
hash keys. (I considered replacing isTrigger with a PLpgSQL_trigtype
enum field, but felt that that carried some API/ABI risk. Maybe we
should change it in HEAD though.)

VACUUM may truncate heap in several batches. The activity report
is logged for each batch, and contains the number of pages in the table
before and after the truncation, and also the elapsed time during
the truncation. Previously the elapsed time reported in each batch was
the total elapsed time since starting the truncation until finishing
each batch. For example, if the truncation was processed dividing into
three batches, the second batch reported the accumulated time elapsed
during both first and second batches. This is strange and confusing
because the number of pages in the table reported together is not
total. Instead, each batch should report the time elapsed during
only that batch.
The cause of this issue was that the resource usage snapshot was
initialized only at the beginning of the truncation and was never
reset later. This commit fixes the issue by changing VACUUM so that
the resource usage snapshot is reset at each batch.

Manifested as
ERROR: subtransaction logged without previous top-level txn record

- After restart_lsn there is some change of a subxact.
- After that, there is second xl_xact_assignment (for another subxact)

Such a transaction won't be streamed anyway because we hadn't seen it in
full. Saying for sure whether xact of some record encountered after
the snapshot was deserialized can be streamed or not requires to know
whether it wrote something before deserialization point --if yes, it

Also, when we upgraded the syntax to allow CURRENT_USER/SESSION_USER
