Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE failure with a partial exclusion constraint.
ATExecAlterColumnType failed to consider the possibility that an index
that needs to be rebuilt might be a child of a constraint that needs to be
rebuilt. We missed this so far because usually a constraint index doesn't
have a direct dependency on its table, just on the constraint object.
But if there's a WHERE clause, then dependency analysis of the WHERE
clause results in direct dependencies on the column(s) mentioned in WHERE.
This led to trying to drop and rebuild both the constraint and its
underlying index.
In v11/HEAD, we successfully drop both the index and the constraint,
and then try to rebuild both, and of course the second rebuild hits a
duplicate-index-name problem. Before v11, it fails with obscure messages
about a missing relation OID, due to trying to drop the index twice.
This is essentially the same kind of problem noted in commit
20bef2c31: the possible dependency linkages are broader than what
ATExecAlterColumnType was designed for. It was probably OK when
written, but it's certainly been broken since the introduction of
partial exclusion constraints. Fix by adding an explicit check
for whether any of the indexes-to-be-rebuilt belong to any of the
constraints-to-be-rebuilt, and ignoring any that do.
In passing, fix a latent bug introduced by commit
8b08f7d48: in
get_constraint_index() we must "continue" not "break" when rejecting
a relation of a wrong relkind. This is harmless today because we don't
expect that code path to be taken anyway; but if there ever were any
relations to be ignored, the existing coding would have an extremely
undesirable dependency on the order of pg_depend entries.
Also adjust a couple of obsolete comments.

Fix handling of COMMENT for domain constraints
For a non-superuser, changing a comment on a domain constraint was
leading to a cache lookup failure as the code tried to perform the
ownership lookup on the constraint OID itself, thinking that it was a
type, but this check needs to happen on the type the domain constraint
relies on. As the type a domain constraint relies on can be guessed
directly based on the constraint OID, first fetch its type OID and
perform the ownership on it.

Fix conversion of JSON strings to JSON output columns in json_to_record().
json_to_record(), when an output column is declared as type json or jsonb,
should emit the corresponding field of the input JSON object. But it got
this slightly wrong when the field is just a string literal: it failed to
escape the contents of the string. That typically resulted in syntax
errors if the string contained any double quotes or backslashes.
jsonb_to_record() handles such cases correctly, but I added corresponding
test cases for it too, to prevent future backsliding.

they feed the de-escaped contents of the string literal to json[b]_in.

Make pg_dump emit ATTACH PARTITION instead of PARTITION OF (reprise)
Using PARTITION OF can result in column ordering being changed from the
database being dumped, if the partition uses a column layout different
from the parent's. It's not pg_dump's job to editorialize on table
definitions, so this is not acceptable; back-patch all the way back to
pg10, where partitioned tables where introduced.
This change also ensures that partitions end up in the correct
tablespace, if different from the parent's; this is an oversight in
ca4103025dfe (in pg12 only). Partitioned indexes (in pg11) don't have
this problem, because they're already created as independent indexes and
attached to their parents afterwards.
This change also has the advantage that the partition is restorable from
the dump (as a standalone table) even if its parent table isn't
restored.
The original commits (
3b23552ad8bb in branch master) failed to cover
subsidiary column elements correctly, such as NOT NULL constraint and
CHECK constraints, as reported by Rushabh Lathia (initially as a failure
to restore serial columns). They were reverted. This recapitulation
commit fixes those problems.

tested originally. In branches 10 and 11, add a local constraint to the

The three cases in which we can still apply the optimization are
(a) no quantifier, or quantifier does not impose a preference;
(b) atom has no greediness property, implying it cannot match a
variable amount of text anyway; or
(c) quantifier's greediness is same as atom's.
Note that in most cases where one of these applies, we'd have exited
earlier in the "not a messy case" fast path. I think it's now only
possible to get to the optimization when the atom involves capturing
parentheses or a non-top-level backref.

Rearrange pgstat_bestart() to avoid failures within its critical section.
We long ago decided to design the shared PgBackendStatus data structure to
minimize the cost of writing status updates, which means that writers just
have to increment the st_changecount field twice. That isn't hooked into
any sort of resource management mechanism, which means that if something
were to throw error between the two increments, the st_changecount field
would be left odd indefinitely. That would cause readers to lock up.
Now, since it's also a bad idea to leave the field odd for longer than
absolutely necessary (because readers will spin while we have it set),
the expectation was that we'd treat these segments like spinlock critical
sections, with only short, more or less straight-line, code in them.
That was fine as originally designed, but commit
9029f4b37 broke it
by inserting a significant amount of non-straight-line code into
pgstat_bestart(), code that is very capable of throwing errors, not to
mention taking a significant amount of time during which readers will spin.
We have a report from Neeraj Kumar of readers actually locking up, which
I suspect was due to an encoding conversion error in X509_NAME_to_cstring,
though conceivably it was just a garden-variety OOM failure.
Subsequent commits have loaded even more dubious code into pgstat_bestart's
critical section (and commit
fc70a4b0d deserves some kind of booby prize
for managing to miss the critical section entirely, although the negative
consequences seem minimal given that the PgBackendStatus entry should be
seen by readers as inactive at that point).
The right way to fix this mess seems to be to compute all these values
into a local copy of the process' PgBackendStatus struct, and then just
copy the data back within the critical section proper. This plan can't
be implemented completely cleanly because of the struct's heavy reliance
on out-of-line strings, which we must initialize separately within the
critical section. But still, the critical section is far smaller and
safer than it was before.
In hopes of forestalling future errors of the same ilk, rename the
macros for st_changecount management to make it more apparent that
the writer-side macros create a critical section. And to prevent
the worst consequences if we nonetheless manage to mess it up anyway,
adjust those macros so that they really are a critical section, ie
they now bump CritSectionCount. That doesn't add much overhead, and
it guarantees that if we do somehow throw an error while the counter
is odd, it will lead to PANIC and a database restart to reset shared
memory.

Cope with EINVAL and EIDRM shmat() failures in PGSharedMemoryAttach.
There's a very old race condition in our code to see whether a pre-existing
shared memory segment is still in use by a conflicting postmaster: it's
possible for the other postmaster to remove the segment in between our
shmctl() and shmat() calls. It's a narrow window, and there's no risk
unless both postmasters are using the same port number, but that's possible
during parallelized "make check" tests. (Note that while the TAP tests
take some pains to choose a randomized port number, pg_regress doesn't.)
If it does happen, we treated that as an unexpected case and errored out.
To fix, allow EINVAL to be treated as segment-not-present, and the same
for EIDRM on Linux. AFAICS, the considerations here are basically
identical to the checks for acceptable shmctl() failures, so I documented
and coded it that way.
While at it, adjust PGSharedMemoryAttach's API to remove its undocumented
dependency on UsedShmemSegAddr in favor of passing the attach address
explicitly. This makes it easier to be sure we're using a null shmaddr
when probing for segment conflicts (thus avoiding questions about what
EINVAL means). I don't think there was a bug there, but it required
fragile assumptions about the state of UsedShmemSegAddr during
PGSharedMemoryIsInUse.

Repair issues with faulty generation of merge-append plans.
create_merge_append_plan failed to honor the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag:
it would generate the expected targetlist but then it felt free to
add resjunk sort targets to it. This demonstrably leads to assertion
failures in v11 and HEAD, and it's probably just accidental that we
don't see the same in older branches. I've not looked into whether
there would be any real-world consequences in non-assert builds.
In HEAD, create_append_plan has sprouted the same problem, so fix

reach that bug). This is an oversight in commit
3fc6e2d7f which
invented the CP_EXACT_TLIST flag, so back-patch to 9.6 where that
came in.
convert_subquery_pathkeys would create pathkeys for subquery output
values if they match any EquivalenceClass known in the outer query
and are available in the subquery's syntactic targetlist. However,
the second part of that condition is wrong, because such values might
not appear in the subquery relation's reltarget list, which would
mean that they couldn't be accessed above the level of the subquery
scan. We must check that they appear in the reltarget list, instead.
This can lead to dropping knowledge about the subquery's sort
ordering, but I believe it's okay, because any sort key that the
outer query actually has any interest in would appear in the
reltarget list.
This second issue is of very long standing, but right now there's no
evidence that it causes observable problems before 9.6, so I refrained
from back-patching further than that. We can revisit that choice if
somebody finds a way to make it cause problems in older branches.

fixing convert_subquery_pathkeys removes the only known way to exhibit
the create_merge_append_plan bug, and neither of the test cases added

Fix reindexing of pg_class indexes some more.
Commits
3dbb317d3 et al failed under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing.
Investigation showed that to reindex pg_class_oid_index, we must
suppress accesses to the index (via SetReindexProcessing) before we call
RelationSetNewRelfilenode, or at least before we do CommandCounterIncrement
therein; otherwise, relcache reloads happening within the CCI may try to
fetch pg_class rows using the index's new relfilenode value, which is as
yet an empty file.
Of course, the point of
3dbb317d3 was that that ordering didn't work
either, because then RelationSetNewRelfilenode's own update of the index's
pg_class row cannot access the index, should it need to.
There are various ways we might have got around that, but Andres Freund
came up with a brilliant solution: for a mapped index, we can really just
skip the pg_class update altogether. The only fields it was actually
changing were relpages etc, but it was just setting them to zeroes which
is useless make-work. (Correct new values will be installed at the end
of index build.) All pg_class indexes are mapped and probably always will
be, so this eliminates the problem by removing work rather than adding it,
always a pleasant outcome. Having taught RelationSetNewRelfilenode to do
it that way, we can revert the code reordering in reindex_index. (But
I left the moved setup code where it was; there seems no reason why it
has to run without use of the old index. If you're trying to fix a
busted pg_class index, you'll have had to disable system index use
altogether to get this far.)
Moreover, this means we don't need RelationSetIndexList at all, because
reindex_relation's hacking to make "REINDEX TABLE pg_class" work is
likewise now unnecessary. We'll leave that code in place in the back
branches, but a follow-on patch will remove it in HEAD.

Fix potential assertion failure when reindexing a pg_class index.
When reindexing individual indexes on pg_class it was possible to
either trigger an assertion failure:
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(!ReindexIsProcessingIndex(((index)->rd_id)))
That's because reindex_index() called SetReindexProcessing() - which
enables an asserts ensuring no index insertions happen into the index
- before calling RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). That not correct for
indexes on pg_class, because RelationSetNewRelfilenode() updates the
relevant pg_class row, which needs to update the indexes.
The are two reasons this wasn't noticed earlier. Firstly the bug
doesn't trigger when reindexing all of pg_class, as reindex_relation
has code "hiding" all yet-to-be-reindexed indexes. Secondly, the bug
only triggers when the the update to pg_class doesn't turn out to be a
HOT update - otherwise there's no index insertion to trigger the
bug. Most of the time there's enough space, making this bug hard to
trigger.
To fix, move RelationSetNewRelfilenode() to before the
SetReindexProcessing() (and, together with some other code, to outside
of the PG_TRY()).
To make sure the error checking intended by SetReindexProcessing() is
more robust, modify CatalogIndexInsert() to check
ReindexIsProcessingIndex() even when the update is a HOT update.
Also add a few regression tests for REINDEXing of system catalogs.

Avoid postgres_fdw crash for a targetlist entry that's just a Param.
foreign_grouping_ok() is willing to put fairly arbitrary expressions into
the targetlist of a remote SELECT that's doing grouping or aggregation on
the remote side, including expressions that have no foreign component to
them at all. This is possibly a bit dubious from an efficiency standpoint;
but it rises to the level of a crash-causing bug if the expression is just
a Param or non-foreign Var. In that case, the expression will necessarily
also appear in the fdw_exprs list of values we need to send to the remote
server, and then setrefs.c's set_foreignscan_references will mistakenly
replace the fdw_exprs entry with a Var referencing the targetlist result.
The root cause of this problem is bad design in commit
e7cb7ee14: it put
logic into set_foreignscan_references that IMV is postgres_fdw-specific,
and yet this bug shows that it isn't postgres_fdw-specific enough. The
transformation being done on fdw_exprs assumes that fdw_exprs is to be
evaluated with the fdw_scan_tlist as input, which is not how postgres_fdw
uses it; yet it could be the right thing for some other FDW. (In the
bigger picture, setrefs.c has no business assuming this for the other
expression fields of a ForeignScan either.)
The right fix therefore would be to expand the FDW API so that the
FDW could inform setrefs.c how it intends to evaluate these various
expressions. We can't change that in the back branches though, and we
also can't just summarily change setrefs.c's behavior there, or we're
likely to break external FDWs.
As a stopgap, therefore, hack up postgres_fdw so that it won't attempt
to send targetlist entries that look exactly like the fdw_exprs entries
they'd produce. In most cases this actually produces a superior plan,
IMO, with less data needing to be transmitted and returned; so we probably
ought to think harder about whether we should ship tlist expressions at
all when they don't contain any foreign Vars or Aggs. But that's an
optimization not a bug fix so I left it for later. One case where this
produces an inferior plan is where the expression in question is actually
a GROUP BY expression: then the restriction prevents us from using remote
grouping. It might be possible to work around that (since that would
reduce to group-by-a-constant on the remote side); but it seems like a
pretty unlikely corner case, so I'm not sure it's worth expending effort
solely to improve that. In any case the right long-term answer is to fix
the API as sketched above, and then revert this hack.

Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA release tzcode2019a.
This corrects a small bug in zic that caused it to output an incorrect
year-2440 transition in the Africa/Casablanca zone.
More interestingly, zic has grown a "-r" option that limits the range of
zone transitions that it will put into the output files. That might be
useful to people who don't like the weird GMT offsets that tzdb likes
to use for very old dates. It appears that for dates before the cutoff
time specified with -r, zic will use the zone's standard-time offset
as of the cutoff time. So for example one might do
make install ZIC_OPTIONS='-r @-
1893456000'
to cause all dates before 1910-01-01 to be treated as though 1910
standard time prevailed indefinitely far back. (Don't blame me for
the unfriendly way of specifying the cutoff time --- it's seconds
since or before the Unix epoch. You can use extract(epoch ...)
to calculate it.)

Make pg_dump emit ATTACH PARTITION instead of PARTITION OF

Fix some minor postmaster-state-machine issues.
In sigusr1_handler, don't ignore PMSIGNAL_ADVANCE_STATE_MACHINE based

should work in any state), not future-proof (since it makes too many
assumptions about why the signal might be sent), and broken even today

in PM_WAIT_READONLY state. The race condition seems unlikely, but
if it did happen, a hot-standby postmaster could fail to shut down
after receiving a smart-shutdown request.

Repair assorted issues in locale data extraction.
cache_locale_time (extraction of LC_TIME-related info) had never been
taught the lessons we previously learned about extraction of info related
to LC_MONETARY and LC_NUMERIC. Specifically, commit
95a777c61 taught
PGLC_localeconv() that data coming out of localeconv() was in an encoding
determined by the relevant locale, but we didn't realize that there's a
similar issue with strftime(). And commit
a4930e7ca hardened
PGLC_localeconv() against errors occurring partway through, but failed
to do likewise for cache_locale_time(). So, rearrange the latter
function to perform encoding conversion and not risk failure while
it's got the locales set to temporary values.
This time around I also changed PGLC_localeconv() to treat it as FATAL
if it can't restore the previous settings of the locale values. There
is no reason (except possibly OOM) for that to fail, and proceeding with
the wrong locale values seems like a seriously bad idea --- especially
on Windows where we have to also temporarily change LC_CTYPE. Also,
protect against the possibility that we can't identify the codeset
reported for LC_MONETARY or LC_NUMERIC; rather than just failing,
try to validate the data without conversion.
The user-visible symptom this fixes is that if LC_TIME is set to a locale
name that implies an encoding different from the database encoding,
non-ASCII localized day and month names would be retrieved in the wrong
encoding, leading to either unexpected encoding-conversion error reports
or wrong output from to_char(). The other possible failure modes are
unlikely enough that we've not seen reports of them, AFAIK.
The encoding conversion problems do not manifest on Windows, since
we'd already created special-case code to handle that issue there.

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

Handle USE_MODULE_DB for all tests able to use an installed postmaster.
When $(MODULES) and $(MODULE_big) are empty, derive the database name
from the first element of $(REGRESS) instead of using a constant string.
When deriving the database name from $(MODULES), use its first element
instead of the entire list; the earlier approach would fail if any
multi-module directory had $(REGRESS) tests. Treat isolation suites and
src/pl correspondingly. Under USE_MODULE_DB=1, installcheck-world and
check-world no longer reuse any database name in a given postmaster.
Buildfarm members axolotl, mandrill and frogfish saw spurious "is being
accessed by other users" failures that would not have happened without
database name reuse. (The CountOtherDBBackends() 5s deadline expired
during DROP DATABASE; a backend for an earlier test suite had used the
same database name and had not yet exited.) Back-patch to 9.4 (all
supported versions), except bits pertaining to isolation suites.

Consistently test for in-use shared memory.
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 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).

Perform RLS subquery checks as the right user when going via a view.
When accessing a table with RLS via a view, the RLS checks are
performed as the view owner. However, the code neglected to propagate
that to any subqueries in the RLS checks. Fix that by calling
setRuleCheckAsUser() for all RLS policy quals and withCheckOption
checks for RTEs with RLS.
Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was added.

Update HINT for pre-existing shared memory block.
One should almost always terminate an old process, not use a manual

Fix off-by-one error in txid_status().
The transaction ID returned by GetNextXidAndEpoch() is in the future,
so we can't attempt to access its status or we might try to read a
CLOG page that doesn't exist. The > vs >= confusion probably stemmed
from the choice of a variable name containing the word "last" instead
of "next", so fix that too.
Back-patch to 10 where the function arrived.

Track unowned relations in doubly-linked list
Relations dropped in a single transaction are tracked in a list of
unowned relations. With large number of dropped relations this resulted
in poor performance at the end of a transaction, when the relations are
removed from the singly linked list one by one.
Commit
b4166911 attempted to address this issue (particularly when it
happens during recovery) by removing the relations in a reverse order,
resulting in O(1) lookups in the list of unowned relations. This did
not work reliably, though, and it was possible to trigger the O(N^2)
behavior in various ways.
Instead of trying to remove the relations in a specific order with
respect to the linked list, which seems rather fragile, switch to a
regular doubly linked. That allows us to remove relations cheaply no
matter where in the list they are.
As
b4166911 was a bugfix, backpatched to all supported versions, do the
same thing here.
