Fix SHOW ALL command for non-superusers with replication connection
Since Postgres 10, SHOW commands can be triggered with replication
connections in a WAL sender context, however it missed that a
transaction context is needed for syscache lookups. This commit makes
sure that the syscache lookups can happen correctly by setting a
transaction context when running SHOW commands in a WAL sender.
Superuser-only parameters can be displayed using SHOW commands not only
to superusers, but also to members of system role pg_read_all_settings,
which requires a syscache lookup to check if the connected role is a
member of this system role or not, or the instance crashes. Superusers
do not need to check the syscache so it worked correctly in this case.

Prevent memory leaks associated with relcache rd_partcheck structures.
The original coding of generate_partition_qual() just copied the list
of predicate expressions into the global CacheMemoryContext, making it
effectively impossible to clean up when the owning relcache entry is
destroyed --- the relevant code in RelationDestroyRelation() only managed
to free the topmost List header :-(. This resulted in a session-lifespan
memory leak whenever a table partition's relcache entry is rebuilt.
Fortunately, that's not normally a large data structure, and rebuilds
shouldn't occur all that often in production situations; but this is
still a bug worth fixing back to v10 where the code was introduced.
To fix, put the cached expression tree into its own small memory context,
as we do with other complicated substructures of relcache entries.
Also, deal more honestly with the case that a partition has an empty
partcheck list; while that probably isn't a case that's very interesting
for production use, it's legal.
In passing, clarify comments about how partitioning-related relcache
data structures are managed, and add some Asserts that we're not leaking
old copies when we overwrite these data fields.
postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in
postmaster.pid, exiting if that segment matches the current data
directory and has an attached process. When the postmaster.pid file was
missing, a starting postmaster used weaker checks. Change to use the
same checks in both scenarios. This increases the chance of a startup
failure, in lieu of data corruption, if the DBA does "kill -9 `head -n1
postmaster.pid` && rm postmaster.pid && pg_ctl -w start". A postmaster
will no longer stop if shmat() of an old segment fails with EACCES. A
postmaster will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data
directories. That's good for production, but it's bad for integration
tests that crash a postmaster and immediately delete its data directory.
Such a test now leaks a segment indefinitely. No "make check-world"
test does that. win32_shmem.c already avoided all these problems. In
9.6 and later, enhance PostgresNode to facilitate testing. Back-patch
to 9.4 (all supported versions).

Speed up sort-order-comparison tests in create_index_spgist.
This test script verifies that KNN searches of an SP-GiST index
produce the same sort order as a seqscan-and-sort. The FULL JOINs
used for that are exceedingly slow, however. Investigation shows
that the problem is that the initial join is on the rank() values,
and we have a lot of duplicates due to the data set containing 1000
duplicate points. We're therefore going to produce 1000000 join
rows that have to be thrown away again by the join filter.
We can improve matters by using row_number() instead of rank(),
so that the initial join keys are unique. The catch is that
that makes the results sensitive to the sorting of rows with
equal distances from the reference point. That doesn't matter
for the actually-equal points, but as luck would have it, the
data set also contains two distinct points that have identical
distances to the origin. So those two rows could legitimately
appear in either order, causing unwanted output from the check
queries.
However, it doesn't seem like it's the job of this test to
check whether the <-> operator correctly computes distances;
its charter is just to verify that SP-GiST emits the values
in distance order. So we can dodge the indeterminacy problem
by having the check only compare row numbers and distances
not the actual point values.
This change reduces the run time of create_index_spgist by a good
three-quarters, on my machine, with ensuing beneficial effects on
the runtime of create_index (thanks to interactions with CREATE
INDEX CONCURRENTLY tests in the latter). I see a net improvement
of more than 2X in the runtime of their parallel test group.

Split up a couple of long-running regression test scripts.
The point of this change is to increase the potential for parallelism
while running the core regression tests. Most people these days are
using parallel testing modes on multi-core machines, so we might as
well try a bit harder to keep multiple cores busy. Hence, a test that
runs much longer than others in its parallel group is a candidate to
be sub-divided.
In this patch, create_index.sql and join.sql are split up.
I haven't changed the content of the tests in any way, just
moved them.
I moved create_index.sql's SP-GiST-related tests into a new script
create_index_spgist, and moved its btree multilevel page deletion test
over to the existing script btree_index. (btree_index is a more natural
home for that test, and it's shorter than others in its parallel group,
so this doesn't hurt total runtime of that group.) There might be
room for more aggressive splitting of create_index, but this is enough
to improve matters considerably.
Likewise, I moved join.sql's "exercises for the hash join code" into
a new file join_hash. Those exercises contributed three-quarters of
the script's runtime. Which might well be excessive ... but for the
moment, I'm satisfied with shoving them into a different parallel
group, where they can share runtime with the roughly-equally-lengthy
gist test.
(Note for anybody following along at home: there are interesting
interactions between the runtimes of create_index and anything running
in parallel with it, because the tests of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
in that file will repeatedly block waiting for concurrent transactions
to commit. As committed in this patch, create_index and
create_index_spgist have roughly equal runtimes, but that's mostly an
artifact of forced synchronization of the CONCURRENTLY tests; when run
serially, create_index is much faster. A followup patch will reduce
the runtime of create_index_spgist and thereby also create_index.)

Move plpgsql error-trapping tests to a new module-specific test file.
The test for statement timeout has a 2-second timeout, which was only
moderately annoying when it was written, but nowadays it contributes
a pretty significant chunk of the elapsed time needed to run the core
regression tests on a fast machine. We can improve this situation by
pushing the test into a plpgsql-specific test file instead of having
it in a core regression test. That's a clean win when considering
just the core tests. Even when considering check-world or a buildfarm
test run, we should come out ahead because the core tests get run
more times in those sequences.
Furthermore, since the plpgsql tests aren't currently parallelized,
it seems likely that the timing problems reflected in commit f1e671a0b
(which increased that timeout from 1 sec to 2) will be much less severe
in this context. Hence, let's try cutting the timeout back to 1 second
in hopes of a further win for check-world. We can undo that if
buildfarm experience proves it to be a bad idea.
To give the new test file some modicum of intellectual coherency,
I moved the surrounding tests related to error-trapping along with
the statement timeout test proper. Those other tests don't run long
enough to have any particular bearing on test-runtime considerations.
The tests are the same as before, except with minor adjustments to
not depend on an externally-created table.
Code coverage comparisons confirm that the tests using
quad_poly_tbl_ord_seq1/quad_poly_tbl_ord_idx1 hit no code
paths not also covered by the similar tests using
quad_poly_tbl_ord_seq2/quad_poly_tbl_ord_idx2. Since these
test cases are pretty expensive, they need to contribute more
than zero benefit.
In passing, make quad_poly_tbl_ord_seq2 a temp table, since
there seems little reason to keep it around after the test.

Fix a number of issues around modifying a previously updated row.
This commit fixes three, unfortunately related, issues:
1) Since 5db6df0c01, the introduction of DML via tableam, it was
possible to trigger "ERROR: unexpected table_lock_tuple status: 1"
when updating a row that was previously updated in the same
transaction - but only when the previously updated row was before
updated in a concurrent transaction (and READ COMMITTED was
used). The reason for that was that that case simply wasn't
expected. Fixing that lead to:
2) Even before the above commit, there were error checks (introduced
in 6868ed7491b7) preventing a row being updated by different
commands within the same statement (say in a function called by an
UPDATE) - but that check wasn't performed when the row was first
updated in a concurrent transaction - instead the second update was
silently skipped in that case. After this change we throw the same
error as we'd without the concurrent transaction.
3) The error messages (introduced in 6868ed7491b7) preventing such
updates emitted the same error message for both DELETE and
UPDATE ("tuple to be updated was already modified by an operation
triggered by the current command"). While that could be changed
separately, it made it hard to write tests that verify the correct
correct behavior of the code.
This commit changes heap's implementation of table_lock_tuple() to
return TM_SelfModified instead of TM_Invisible (previously loosely
modeled after EvalPlanQualFetch), and teaches nodeModifyTable.c to
handle that in response to table_lock_tuple() and not just in response
to table_(delete|update).
Additionally it fixes the wrong error message (see 3 above). The
comment for table_lock_tuple() is also adjusted to state that
TM_Deleted won't return information in TM_FailureData - it'll not
always be available.

Before those commits, partitioning-related code in the executor could
assume that ModifyTableState.resultRelInfo[] contains only leaf partitions.
However, now a fully-pruned update results in a dummy ModifyTable that
references the root partitioned table, and that breaks some stuff.
In v11, this led to an assertion or core dump in the tuple routing code.
Fix by disabling tuple routing, since we don't need that anyway.
(I chose to do that in HEAD as well for safety, even though the problem
doesn't manifest in HEAD as it stands.)
In v10, this confused ExecInitModifyTable's decision about whether it
needed to close the root table. But we can get rid of that altogether
by being smarter about where to find the root table.
Note that since the referenced commits haven't shipped yet, this
isn't fixing any bug the field has seen.
This uses the same infrastructure that the CREATE INDEX progress
reporting uses. Add a column to pg_stat_progress_create_index to
report the OID of the index being worked on. This was not necessary
for CREATE INDEX, but it's useful for REINDEX.
Also edit the phase descriptions a bit to be more consistent with the
source code comments.

Fix failures in validateForeignKeyConstraint's slow path.
The foreign-key-checking loop in ATRewriteTables failed to ignore

that failed, as for instance when there are permissions issues,

Add support TCP user timeout in libpq and the backend server
Similarly to the set of parameters for keepalive, a connection parameter
for libpq is added as well as a backend GUC, called tcp_user_timeout.
Increasing the TCP user timeout is useful to allow a connection to
survive extended periods without end-to-end connection, and decreasing
it allows application to fail faster. By default, the parameter is 0,
which makes the connection use the system default, and follows a logic
close to the keepalive parameters in its handling. When connecting
through a Unix-socket domain, the parameters have no effect.

Use Append rather than MergeAppend for scanning ordered partitions.
If we need ordered output from a scan of a partitioned table, but
the ordering matches the partition ordering, then we don't need to
use a MergeAppend to combine the pre-ordered per-partition scan
results: a plain Append will produce the same results. This
both saves useless comparison work inside the MergeAppend proper,
and allows us to start returning tuples after istarting up just
the first child node not all of them.
However, all is not peaches and cream, because if some of the
child nodes have high startup costs then there will be big
discontinuities in the tuples-returned-versus-elapsed-time curve.
The planner's cost model cannot handle that (yet, anyway).
If we model the Append's startup cost as being just the first
child's startup cost, we may drastically underestimate the cost
of fetching slightly more tuples than are available from the first
child. Since we've had bad experiences with over-optimistic choices
of "fast start" plans for ORDER BY LIMIT queries, that seems scary.
As a klugy workaround, set the startup cost estimate for an ordered
Append to be the sum of its children's startup costs (as MergeAppend
would). This doesn't really describe reality, but it's less likely
to cause a bad plan choice than an underestimated startup cost would.
In practice, the cases where we really care about this optimization
will have child plans that are IndexScans with zero startup cost,
so that the overly conservative estimate is still just zero.

This adds table_multi_insert(), and converts COPY FROM, the only user

A simple conversion of COPY FROM use slots would have yielded a
slowdown when inserting into a partitioned table for some
workloads. Different partitions might need different slots (both slot
types and their descriptors), and dropping / creating slots when
there's constant partition changes is measurable.
Thus instead revamp the COPY FROM buffering for partitioned tables to
allow to buffer inserts into multiple tables, flushing only when
limits are reached across all partition buffers. By only dropping
slots when there've been inserts into too many different partitions,
the aforementioned overhead is gone. By allowing larger batches, even
when there are frequent partition changes, we actuall speed such cases
up significantly.
By using slots COPY of very narrow rows into unlogged / temporary

Make queries' locking of indexes more consistent.
The assertions added by commit b04aeb0a0 exposed that there are some
code paths wherein the executor will try to open an index without
holding any lock on it. We do have some lock on the index's table,
so it seems likely that there's no fatal problem with this (for
instance, the index couldn't get dropped from under us). Still,
it's bad practice and we should fix it.
To do so, remove the optimizations in ExecInitIndexScan and friends
that tried to avoid taking a lock on an index belonging to a target
relation, and just take the lock always. In non-bug cases, this
will result in no additional shared-memory access, since we'll find
in the local lock table that we already have a lock of the desired
type; hence, no significant performance degradation should occur.
Also, adjust the planner and executor so that the type of lock taken
on an index is always identical to the type of lock taken for its table,
by relying on the recently added RangeTblEntry.rellockmode field.
This avoids some corner cases where that might not have been true
before (possibly resulting in extra locking overhead), and prevents
future maintenance issues from having multiple bits of logic that
all needed to be in sync. In addition, this change removes all core
calls to ExecRelationIsTargetRelation, which avoids a possible O(N^2)
startup penalty for queries with large numbers of target relations.
(We'd probably remove that function altogether, were it not that we
advertise it as something that FDWs might want to use.)
Also adjust some places in selfuncs.c to not take any lock on indexes
they are transiently opening, since we can assume that plancat.c
did that already.
In passing, change gin_clean_pending_list() to take RowExclusiveLock
not AccessShareLock on its target index. Although it's not clear that
that's actually a bug, it seemed very strange for a function that's
explicitly going to modify the index to use only AccessShareLock.

postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in

will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data directories.

Generate less WAL during GiST, GIN and SP-GiST index build.
Instead of WAL-logging every modification during the build separately,

significantly reduces the amount of WAL generated, and is usually also
faster, despite the extra I/O needed for the extra scan through the index.
WAL generated this way is also faster to replay.
For GiST, the LSN-NSN interlock makes this a little tricky. All pages must
be marked with a valid (i.e. non-zero) LSN, so that the parent-child
LSN-NSN interlock works correctly. We now use magic value 1 for that during
