Split create_foreignscan_path() into three functions.
Up to now postgres_fdw has been using create_foreignscan_path() to
generate not only base-relation paths, but also paths for foreign joins
and foreign upperrels. This is wrong, because create_foreignscan_path()
calls get_baserel_parampathinfo() which will only do the right thing for
baserels. It accidentally fails to fail for unparameterized paths, which
are the only ones postgres_fdw (thought it) was handling, but we really
need different APIs for the baserel and join cases.
In HEAD, the best thing to do seems to be to split up the baserel,
joinrel, and upperrel cases into three functions so that they can
have different APIs. I haven't actually given create_foreign_join_path
a different API in this commit: we should spend a bit of time thinking
about just what we want to do there, since perhaps FDWs would want to
do something different from the build-up-a-join-pairwise approach that
get_joinrel_parampathinfo expects. In the meantime, since postgres_fdw
isn't prepared to generate parameterized joins anyway, just give it a
defense against trying to plan joins with lateral refs.
In addition (and this is what triggered this whole mess) fix bug #15613
from Srinivasan S A, by teaching file_fdw and postgres_fdw that plain
baserel foreign paths still have outer refs if the relation has
lateral_relids. Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future
occurrences of the same error --- in particular, to catch other FDWs
doing that, but also as backstop against core-code mistakes like the
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.

Avoid amcheck inline compression false positives.
The previous tacit assumption that index_form_tuple() hides differences
in the TOAST state of its input datums was wrong. Normalize input
varlena datums by decompressing compressed values, and forming a new
index tuple for fingerprinting using uncompressed inputs. The final
normalized representation may actually be compressed once again within
index_form_tuple(), though that shouldn't matter. When the original
tuple is found to have no datums that are compressed inline, fingerprint
the original tuple directly.
Normalization avoids false positive reports of corruption in certain
cases. For example, the executor can apply toasting with some inline
compression to an entire heap tuple because its input has a single
external TOAST pointer. Varlena datums for other attributes that are
not particularly good candidates for inline compression can be
compressed in the heap tuple in passing, without the representation of
the same values in index tuples ever receiving concomitant inline
compression.
Add a test case to recreate the issue in a simpler though less realistic
way: by exploiting differences in pg_attribute.attstorage between heap

Propagate lateral-reference information to indirect descendant relations.
create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral
references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those
markings to appendrel children of the original base relations. But the
original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants
(grandchildren etc). During v11 development we noticed that this was
wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just
as wrong for any appendrel. While the case can't arise for appendrels
derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat
appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL
subqueries. Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral
references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether
unparameterized paths can be built. It's not very clear whether that
leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests
that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation. Still,
it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add
later.
To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents,
not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs. We can still do it in one
pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor
relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that.
While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by
traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for
each appendrel parent relation.
Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix
that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet).

Avoid creation of the free space map for small heap relations, take 2.
Previously, all heaps had FSMs. For very small tables, this means that the
FSM took up more space than the heap did. This is wasteful, so now we
refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last
known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some
other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing
otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page
penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page.
This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space
become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat.
As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than
consulting the FSM would have been.
Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody
deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is
a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow
to the same size.

Move page initialization from RelationAddExtraBlocks() to use, take 2.
Previously we initialized pages when bulk extending in
RelationAddExtraBlocks(). That has a major disadvantage: It ties
RelationAddExtraBlocks() to heap, as other types of storage are likely
to need different amounts of special space, have different amount of
free space (previously determined by PageGetHeapFreeSpace()).
That we're relying on initializing pages, but not WAL logging the
initialization, also means the risk for getting
"WARNING: relation \"%s\" page %u is uninitialized --- fixing"
style warnings in vacuums after crashes/immediate shutdowns, is
considerably higher. The warning sounds much more serious than what
they are.
Fix those two issues together by not initializing pages in
RelationAddExtraPages() (but continue to do so in
RelationGetBufferForTuple(), which is linked much more closely to
heap), and accepting uninitialized pages as normal in
vacuumlazy.c. When vacuumlazy encounters an empty page it now adds it
to the FSM, but does nothing else. We chose to not issue a debug
message, much less a warning in that case - it seems rarely useful,
and quite likely to scare people unnecessarily.
For now empty pages aren't added to the VM, because standbys would not
re-discover such pages after a promotion. In contrast to other sources
for empty pages, there's no corresponding WAL records triggering FSM
updates during replay.
Previously when extending the relation, there was a moment between
extending the relation, and acquiring an exclusive lock on the new
page, in which another backend could lock the page. To avoid new
content being put on that new page, vacuumlazy needed to acquire the
extension lock for a brief moment when encountering a new page. A
second corner case, only working somewhat by accident, was that
RelationGetBufferForTuple() sometimes checks the last page in a
relation for free space, without consulting the FSM; that only worked
because PageGetHeapFreeSpace() interprets the zero page header in a
new page as no free space. The lack of handling this properly
required reverting the previous attempt in 684200543b.
This issue can be solved by using RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK when extending the
relation, thereby avoiding this window. There's some added complexity
when RelationGetBufferForTuple() is called with another buffer (for
updates), to avoid deadlocks, but that's rarely hit at runtime.

causes messages of level LOG to be written routinely, so those don't
go to the syslogger now.

that the syslogger is started early enough to capture those messages.

Fix a crash in logical replication
The bug was that determining which columns are part of the replica
identity index using RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() would run
eval_const_expressions() on index expressions and predicates across
all indexes of the table, which in turn might require a snapshot, but
there wasn't one set, so it crashes. There were actually two separate
bugs, one on the publisher and one on the subscriber.
To trigger the bug, a table that is part of a publication or
subscription needs to have an index with a predicate or expression
that lends itself to constant expressions simplification.
The fix is to avoid the constant expressions simplification in
RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap(), so that it becomes safe to call in these
contexts. The constant expressions simplification comes from the
calls to RelationGetIndexExpressions()/RelationGetIndexPredicate() via
BuildIndexInfo(). But RelationGetIndexAttrBitmap() calling
BuildIndexInfo() is overkill. The latter just takes pg_index catalog
information, packs it into the IndexInfo structure, which former then
just unpacks again and throws away. We can just do this directly with
less overhead and skip the troublesome calls to
eval_const_expressions(). This also removes the awkward
cross-dependency between relcache.c and index.c.

Separate per-batch and per-tuple memory contexts in COPY
In batching mode, COPY was using the same (per-tuple) memory context for
allocations with longer lifetime. This was confusing but harmless, until
commit 31f3817402 added COPY FROM ... WHERE feature, introducing a risk
of memory leak.
The "per-tuple" memory context was reset only when starting new batch,
but as the rows may be filtered out by the WHERE clauses, that may not
happen at all. The WHERE clause however has to be evaluated for all
rows, before filtering them out.
This commit separates the per-tuple and per-batch contexts, removing the
ambiguity. Expressions (both defaults and WHERE clause) are evaluated
in the per-tuple context, while tuples are formed in the batch context.
This allows resetting the contexts at appropriate times.
The main complexity is related to partitioning, in which case we need to
reset the batch context after forming the tuple (which happens before
routing to leaf partition). Instead of switching between two contexts
as before, we simply copy the last tuple aside, reset the context and
then copy the tuple back. The performance impact is negligible, and
juggling with two contexts is not free either.

In the planner, replace an empty FROM clause with a dummy RTE.
The fact that "SELECT expression" has no base relations has long been a
thorn in the side of the planner. It makes it hard to flatten a sub-query
that looks like that, or is a trivial VALUES() item, because the planner
generally uses relid sets to identify sub-relations, and such a sub-query
would have an empty relid set if we flattened it. prepjointree.c contains
some baroque logic that works around this in certain special cases --- but
there is a much better answer. We can replace an empty FROM clause with a
dummy RTE that acts like a table of one row and no columns, and then there
are no such corner cases to worry about. Instead we need some logic to
get rid of useless dummy RTEs, but that's simpler and covers more cases
than what was there before.
For really trivial cases, where the query is just "SELECT expression" and
nothing else, there's a hazard that adding the extra RTE makes for a
noticeable slowdown; even though it's not much processing, there's not
that much for the planner to do overall. However testing says that the
penalty is very small, close to the noise level. In more complex queries,
this is able to find optimizations that we could not find before.
The new RTE type is called RTE_RESULT, since the "scan" plan type it
gives rise to is a Result node (the same plan we produced for a "SELECT
expression" query before). To avoid confusion, rename the old ResultPath
path type to GroupResultPath, reflecting that it's only used in degenerate
grouping cases where we know the query produces just one grouped row.
(It wouldn't work to unify the two cases, because there are different
rules about where the associated quals live during query_planner.)
Note: although this touches readfuncs.c, I don't think a catversion
bump is required, because the added case can't occur in stored rules,
only plans.

Move page initialization from RelationAddExtraBlocks() to use.
Previously we initialized pages when bulk extending in

RelationAddExtraBlocks() to heap, as other types of storage are likely
to need different amounts of special space, have different amount of
free space (previously determined by PageGetHeapFreeSpace()).
That we're relying on initializing pages, but not WAL logging the
initialization, also means the risk for getting
"WARNING: relation \"%s\" page %u is uninitialized --- fixing"
style warnings in vacuums after crashes/immediate shutdowns, is
considerably higher. The warning sounds much more serious than what
they are.
Fix those two issues together by not initializing pages in
RelationAddExtraPages() (but continue to do so in
RelationGetBufferForTuple(), which is linked much more closely to
heap), and accepting uninitialized pages as normal in

Avoid creation of the free space map for small heap relations.
Previously, all heaps had FSMs. For very small tables, this means that the
FSM took up more space than the heap did. This is wasteful, so now we
refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last
known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some
other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing
otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page
penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page.
This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space
become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat.
As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than
consulting the FSM would have been.
Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody
deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is
a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow

Change function call information to be variable length.
Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for
V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for
FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two
arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than
needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate
arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two
cachelines have to be touched.
Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs
of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for
most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses
64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument
value and its nullness are on the same cacheline.
Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to
padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually
far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper
to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other
places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense,
e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit.
Because the function call information is now variable-length
allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For
heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(),
for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro
that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable.
Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know
the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized
stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for
FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for
now that seems acceptable.
Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate
size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle
breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to
FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo,
so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage.
This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT
compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack,
allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call
information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

Teach nulltestsel() that system columns are never NULL.
While it's perhaps unlikely that users would write an explicit test

Anyway it's not much code so we might as well do it.
Use single-byte Boyer-Moore-Horspool search even with multibyte encodings.
The old implementation first converted the input strings to arrays of
wchars, and performed the conversion on those. However, the conversion is
expensive, and for a large input string, consumes a lot of memory.
Allocating the large arrays also meant that these functions could not be
used on strings larger 1 GB / pg_encoding_max_length() (256 MB for UTF-8).
Avoid the conversion, and instead use the single-byte algorithm even with
multibyte encodings. That can get fooled, if there is a matching byte
sequence in the middle of a multi-byte character, so to eliminate false
positives like that, we verify any matches by walking the string character
by character with pg_mblen(). Also, if the caller needs the position of
the match, as a character-offset, we also need to walk the string to count
the characters.
Performance testing shows that walking the whole string with pg_mblen() is
somewhat slower than converting the whole string to wchars. It's still
often a win, though, because we don't need to do it if there is no match,
and even when there is, we only need to walk up to the point where the
match is, not the whole string. Even in the worst case, there would be
room for optimization: Much of the CPU time in the current loop with
pg_mblen() is function call overhead, and could be improved by inlining
pg_mblen() and/or the encoding-specific mblen() functions. But I didn't
attempt to do that as part of this patch.
Most of the callers of text_position_setup/next functions were actually
not interested in the position of the match, counted in characters. To
cater for them, refactor the text_position_next() interface into two
parts: searching for the next match (text_position_next()), and returning
the current match's position as a pointer (text_position_get_match_ptr())
or as a character offset (text_position_get_match_pos()). Getting the
pointer to the match is a more convenient API for many callers, and with
UTF-8, it allows skipping the character-walking step altogether, because
UTF-8 can't have false matches even when treated like raw byte strings.

To fix, just change all those while(1) loops to exit after at most
100 iterations (which is more than any of them expect to iterate).
This seems sufficient since we'd see discrepancies in the test output
if any loop executed the wrong number of times.
I tested this by dint of intentionally breaking ecpg_do_prologue
to always fail, and verifying that the tests still got to completion.
Back-patch to all supported branches, since the whole point of this
exercise is to protect the buildfarm against future mistakes.

Fix droppability of constraints upon partition detach
We were failing to set conislocal correctly for constraints in
partitions after partition detach, leading to those constraints becoming
undroppable. Fix by setting the flag correctly. Existing databases
might contain constraints with the conislocal wrongly set to false, for
partitions that were detached; this situation should be fixable by
applying an UPDATE on pg_constraint to set conislocal true. This
problem should otherwise be innocuous and should disappear across a
dump/restore or pg_upgrade.
Secondarily, when constraint drop was attempted in a partitioned table,
ATExecDropConstraint would try to recurse to partitions after doing
performDeletion() of the constraint in the partitioned table itself; but
since the constraint in the partitions are dropped by the initial call
of performDeletion() (because of following dependencies), the recursion
step would fail since it would not find the constraint, causing the
whole operation to fail. Fix by preventing recursion.

Fix portability problem in pgbench.
The pgbench regression test supposed that srandom() with a specific value
would result in deterministic output from random(), as required by POSIX.
It emerges however that OpenBSD is too smart to be constrained by mere
standards, so their random() emits nondeterministic output anyway.
While a workaround does exist, what seems like a better fix is to stop
relying on the platform's srandom()/random() altogether, so that what
you get from --random-seed=N is not merely deterministic but platform
independent. Hence, use a separate pg_jrand48() random sequence in
place of random().
Also adjust the regression test case that's supposed to detect
nondeterminism so that it's more likely to detect it; the original
choice of random_zipfian parameter tended to produce the same output
all the time even if the underlying behavior wasn't deterministic.
In passing, improve pgbench's docs about random_zipfian().

postgres_fdw: Account for tlist eval costs in estimate_path_cost_size().
Previously, estimate_path_cost_size() didn't account for tlist eval
costs, except when costing a foreign-grouping path using local
statistics, but such costs should be accounted for when costing that path
using remote estimates, because some of the tlist expressions might be
evaluated locally. Also, such costs should be accounted for in the case
of a foreign-scan or foreign-join path, because the tlist might contain
PlaceHolderVars, which postgres_fdw currently evaluates locally.
This also fixes an oversight in my commit f8f6e44676.
Like that commit, apply this to HEAD only to avoid destabilizing existing
plan choices.

Blind attempt to fix _configthreadlocale() failures on MinGW.
Apparently, some builds of MinGW contain a version of
_configthreadlocale() that always returns -1, indicating failure.
Rather than treating that as a curl-up-and-die condition, soldier on
as though the function didn't exist. This leaves us without thread
safety on such MinGW versions, but we didn't have it anyway.
