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(). 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.

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
to the same size.

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
like "ctid IS NULL", this function is also used in range estimation,
and an incorrect answer can throw off the results for tight ranges.
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.

Introduce access/{table.h, relation.h}, for generic functions from heapam.h.
access/heapam contains functions that are very storage specific (say
heap_insert() and a lot of lower level functions), and fairly generic
infrastructure like relation_open(), heap_open() etc. In the upcoming
pluggable storage work we're introducing a layer between table
accesses in general and heapam, to allow for different storage
methods. For a bit cleaner separation it thus seems advantageous to
move generic functions like the aforementioned to their own headers.
access/relation.h will contain relation_open() etc, and access/table.h
will contain table_open() (formerly known as heap_open()). I've decided
for table.h not to include relation.h, but we might change that at a
later stage.
relation.h already exists in another directory, but the other
plausible name (rel.h) also conflicts. It'd be nice if there were a
non-conflicting name, but nobody came up with a suggestion. It's
possible that the appropriate way to address the naming conflict would
be to rename nodes/relation.h, which isn't particularly well named.
To avoid breaking a lot of extensions that just use heap_open() etc,
table.h has macros mapping the old names to the new ones, and heapam.h
includes relation, table.h. That also allows to keep the
bulk renaming of existing callers in a separate commit.

Sort the dependent objects before recursing in findDependentObjects().
Historically, the notices output by DROP CASCADE tended to come out
in uncertain order, and in some cases you might get different claims
about which object depends on which other one. This is because we
just traversed the dependency tree in the order in which pg_depend
entries are seen, and nbtree has never promised anything about the
order of equal-keyed index entries. We've put up with that for years,
hacking regression tests when necessary to prevent them from emitting
unstable output. However, it's a problem for pending work that will
change nbtree's behavior for equal keys, as that causes unexpected
changes in the regression test results.
Hence, adjust findDependentObjects to sort the results of each
indexscan before processing them. The sort is on descending OID of
the dependent objects, hence more or less reverse creation order.
While this rule could still result in bogus regression test failures
if an OID wraparound occurred mid-test, that seems unlikely to happen
in any plausible development or packaging-test scenario.
This is enough to ensure output stability for ordinary DROP CASCADE
commands, but not for DROP OWNED BY, because that has a different
code path with the same problem. We might later choose to sort in
the DROP OWNED BY code as well, but this patch doesn't do so.
I've also not done anything about reverting the existing hacks to
suppress unstable DROP CASCADE output in specific regression tests.
It might be worth undoing those, but it seems like a distinct question.
The first indexscan loop in findDependentObjects is not touched,
meaning there is a hazard of unstable error reports from that too.
However, said hazard is not the fault of that code: it was designed
on the assumption that there could be at most one "owning" object
to complain about, and that assumption does not seem unreasonable.
The recent patch that added the possibility of multiple
DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL_AUTO links broke that assumption, but we should
fix that situation not band-aid around it. That's a matter for
another patch, though.

Avoid thread-safety problem in ecpglib.
ecpglib attempts to force the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while reading
server output, to avoid problems with strtod() and related functions.
Historically it's just issued setlocale() calls to do that, but that
has major problems if we're in a threaded application. setlocale()
itself is not required by POSIX to be thread-safe (and indeed is not,
on recent OpenBSD). Moreover, its effects are process-wide, so that
we could cause unexpected results in other threads, or another thread
could change our setting.
On platforms having uselocale(), which is required by POSIX:2008,
we can avoid these problems by using uselocale() instead. Windows
goes its own way as usual, but we can make it safe by using
_configthreadlocale(). Platforms having neither continue to use the
old code, but that should be pretty much nobody among current systems.

the order of visitation of pg_depend entries, we might report the
table column and the whole table as separate objects-to-be-dropped,

unstable regression test output, so fix it to report only the table

Restrict the use of temporary namespace in two-phase transactions
Attempting to use a temporary table within a two-phase transaction is
forbidden for ages. However, there have been uncovered grounds for
a couple of other object types and commands which work on temporary
objects with two-phase commit. In short, trying to create, lock or drop
an object on a temporary schema should not be authorized within a
two-phase transaction, as it would cause its state to create
dependencies with other sessions, causing all sorts of side effects with
the existing session or other sessions spawned later on trying to use
the same temporary schema name.
Regression tests are added to cover all the grounds found, the original
report mentioned function creation, but monitoring closer there are many
other patterns with LOCK, DROP or CREATE EXTENSION which are involved.
One of the symptoms resulting in combining both is that the session
which used the temporary schema is not able to shut down completely,
waiting for being able to drop the temporary schema, something that it
cannot complete because of the two-phase transaction involved with
temporary objects. In this case the client is able to disconnect but
the session remains alive on the backend-side, potentially blocking
connection backend slots from being used. Other problems reported could
also involve server crashes.

heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the
HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though
HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here
seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where
necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState.
Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts
of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that
it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal
were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring
