Fix memory leak in TRUNCATE decoding
When decoding a TRUNCATE record, the relids array was being allocated in
the main ReorderBuffer memory context, but not released with the change
resulting in a memory leak.
The array was also ignored when serializing/deserializing the change,
assuming all the information is stored in the change itself. So when
spilling the change to disk, we've only we have serialized only the
pointer to the relids array. Thanks to never releasing the array,
the pointer however remained valid even after loading the change back
to memory, preventing an actual crash.
This fixes both the memory leak and (de)serialization. The relids array
is still allocated in the main ReorderBuffer memory context (none of the
existing ones seems like a good match, and adding an extra context seems
like an overkill). The allocation is wrapped in a new ReorderBuffer API
functions, to keep the details within reorderbuffer.c, just like the
other ReorderBufferGet methods do.

Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.
There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local
or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or
malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's
been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got
away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use
platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the
variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not
something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump,
we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses.
To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock
that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use
those in place of plain char arrays.
I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a
misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make
kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where
we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style
uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead.

Ensure correct minimum consistent point on standbys
Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum
consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets
replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect
calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes,
which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example
the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not
updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to
where it should have.
The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a
standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree
deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen
just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a
background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached
would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a
database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could
also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower.
The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the
minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup
processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still
initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the
original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion
with a crash do not show up.

Disable support for partitionwise joins in problematic cases.
Commit f49842d, which added support for partitionwise joins, built the
child's tlist by applying adjust_appendrel_attrs() to the parent's. So in
the case where the parent's included a whole-row Var for the parent, the
child's contained a ConvertRowtypeExpr. To cope with that, that commit
added code to the planner, such as setrefs.c, but some code paths still
assumed that the tlist for a scan (or join) rel would only include Vars
and PlaceHolderVars, which was true before that commit, causing errors:
* When creating an explicit sort node for an input path for a mergejoin
path for a child join, prepare_sort_from_pathkeys() threw the 'could not
find pathkey item to sort' error.
* When deparsing a relation participating in a pushed down child join as a
subquery in contrib/postgres_fdw, get_relation_column_alias_ids() threw
the 'unexpected expression in subquery output' error.
* When performing set_plan_references() on a local join plan generated by
contrib/postgres_fdw for EvalPlanQual support for a pushed down child
join, fix_join_expr() threw the 'variable not found in subplan target
lists' error.
To fix these, two approaches have been proposed: one by Ashutosh Bapat and
one by me. While the former keeps building the child's tlist with a
ConvertRowtypeExpr, the latter builds it with a whole-row Var for the
child not to violate the planner assumption, and tries to fix it up later,
But both approaches need more work, so refuse to generate partitionwise
join paths when whole-row Vars are involved, instead. We don't need to
handle ConvertRowtypeExprs in the child's tlists for now, so this commit
also removes the changes to the planner.
Previously, partitionwise join computed attr_needed data for each child
separately, and built the child join's tlist using that data, which also
required an extra step for adding PlaceHolderVars to that tlist, but it
would be more efficient to build it from the parent join's tlist through
the adjust_appendrel_attrs() transformation. So this commit builds that
list that way, and simplifies build_joinrel_tlist() and placeholder.c as
well as part of set_append_rel_size() to basically what they were before
partitionwise join went in.

Formerly, they then used text_substr to extract the matched text; but

Improve VACUUM and ANALYZE by avoiding early lock queue
A caller of VACUUM can perform early lookup obtention which can cause
other sessions to block on the request done, causing potentially DOS
attacks as even a non-privileged user can attempt a vacuum fill of a
critical catalog table to block even all incoming connection attempts.
Contrary to TRUNCATE, a client could attempt a system-wide VACUUM after
building the list of relations to VACUUM, which can cause vacuum_rel()
or analyze_rel() to try to lock the relation but the operation would
just block. When the client specifies a list of relations and the
relation needs to be skipped, ownership checks are done when building
the list of relations to work on, preventing a later lock attempt.
vacuum_rel() already had the sanity checks needed, except that those
were applied too late. This commit refactors the code so as relation
skips are checked beforehand, making it safer to avoid too early locks,
for both manual VACUUM with and without a list of relations specified.
An isolation test is added emulating the fact that early locks do not
happen anymore, issuing a WARNING message earlier if the user calling
VACUUM is not a relation owner.
When a partitioned table is listed in a manual VACUUM or ANALYZE
command, its full list of partitions is fetched, all partitions get
added to the list to work on, and then each one of them is processed one
by one, with ownership checks happening at the later phase of
vacuum_rel() or analyze_rel(). Trying to do early ownership checks for
each partition is proving to be tedious as this would result in deadlock
risks with lock upgrades, and skipping all partitions if the listed
partitioned table is not owned would result in a behavior change
compared to how Postgres 10 has implemented vacuum for partitioned
tables. The original problem reported related to early lock queue for
critical relations is fixed anyway, so priority is given to avoiding a
backward-incompatible behavior.

Make syslogger more robust against failures in opening CSV log files.
The previous coding figured it'd be good enough to postpone opening
the first CSV log file until we got a message we needed to write there.
This is unsafe, though, because if the open fails we end up in infinite
recursion trying to report the failure. Instead make the CSV log file
management code look as nearly as possible like the longstanding logic
for the stderr log file. In particular, open it immediately at postmaster
startup (if enabled), or when we get a SIGHUP in which we find that
log_destination has been changed to enable CSV logging.
It seems OK to fail if a postmaster-start-time open attempt fails, as
we've long done for the stderr log file. But we can't die if we fail
to open a CSV log file during SIGHUP, so we're still left with a problem.
In that case, write any output meant for the CSV log file to the stderr
log file. (This will also cover race-condition cases in which backends

This patch also fixes an ancient oversight that, if CSV logging was
turned off during a SIGHUP, we never actually closed the last CSV
log file.
In passing, remember to reset whereToSendOutput = DestNone during syslogger
start, since (unlike all other postmaster children) it's forked before the
postmaster has done that. This made for a platform-dependent difference
in error reporting behavior between the syslogger and other children:
except on Windows, it'd report problems to the original postmaster stderr
as well as the normal error log file(s). It's barely possible that that
was intentional at some point; but it doesn't seem likely to be desirable
in production, and the platform dependency definitely isn't desirable.

Commits c6b3c939b (which fixed the precedence of >=, <=, <> operators)
and 865f14a2d (which added support for the standard => notation for
named arguments) created a class of lexer tokens which look like
multi-character operators but which have their own token IDs distinct
from Op. However, longest-match rules meant that following any of
these tokens with another operator character, as in (1<>-1), would
cause them to be incorrectly returned as Op.
The error here isn't immediately obvious, because the parser would
usually still find the correct operator via the Op token, but there
were more subtle problems:
1. If immediately followed by a comment or +-, >= <= <> would be given
the old precedence of Op rather than the correct new precedence;
2. If followed by a comment, != would be returned as Op rather than as
NOT_EQUAL, causing it not to be found at all;
3. If followed by a comment or +-, the => token for named arguments

DNS lookups aren't exactly cheap, but the code did them all even if the

Update FSM on WAL replay of page all-visible/frozen
We aren't very strict about keeping FSM up to date on WAL replay,
because per-page freespace values aren't critical in replicas (can't
write to heap in a replica; and if the replica is promoted, the values
would be updated by VACUUM anyway). However, VACUUM since 9.6 can skip
processing pages marked all-visible or all-frozen, and if such pages are
recorded in FSM with wrong values, those values are blindly propagated
to FSM's upper layers by VACUUM's FreeSpaceMapVacuum. (This rationale
assumes that crashes are not very frequent, because those would cause
outdated FSM to occur in the primary.)
Even when the FSM is outdated in standby, things are not too bad
normally, because, most per-page FSM values will be zero (other than
those propagated with the base-backup that created the standby); only
once the remaining free space is less than 0.2*BLCKSZ the per-page value
is maintained by WAL replay of heap ins/upd/del. However, if
wal_log_hints=on causes complete FSM pages to be propagated to a standby
via full-page images, many too-optimistic per-page values can end up
being registered in the standby.
Incorrect per-page values aren't critical in most cases, since an
inserter that is given a page that doesn't actually contain the claimed
free space will update FSM with the correct value, and retry until it
finds a usable page. However, if there are many such updates to do, an
inserter can spend a long time doing them before a usable page is found;
in a heavily trafficked insert-only table with many concurrent inserters
this has been observed to cause several second stalls, causing visible
application malfunction.
To fix this problem, it seems sufficient to have heap_xlog_visible
(replay of setting all-visible and all-frozen VM bits for a heap page)
update the FSM value for the page being processed. This fixes the
per-page counters together with making the page skippable to vacuum, so
when vacuum does FreeSpaceMapVacuum, the values propagated to FSM upper
layers are the correct ones, avoiding the problem.
While at it, apply the same fix to heap_xlog_clean (replay of tuple
removal by HOT pruning and vacuum). This makes any space freed by the
cleaning available earlier than the next vacuum in the promoted replica.

that a negative value is delivered on failure.
(Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers
C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent

in buffer-enlargement cases, and also poses a portability hazard for
third-party code that might expect C99-compliant snprintf behavior
within Postgres.
In passing, remove useless tests for str == NULL; neither C99 nor
predecessor standards ever allowed that except when count == 0,
so I see no reason to expend cycles on making that a non-crash case
for this implementation. Also, don't waste a byte in pg_vfprintf's
local I/O buffer; this might have performance benefits by allowing
aligned writes during flushbuffer calls.

pg_upgrade: fix shutdown check for standby servers
Commit 244142d32afd02e7408a2ef1f249b00393983822 only tested for the
pg_controldata output for primary servers, but standby servers have
different "Database cluster state" output, so check for that too.
