Compute correct em_nullable_relids in get_eclass_for_sort_expr().
Bug #8591 from Claudio Freire demonstrates that get_eclass_for_sort_expr
must be able to compute valid em_nullable_relids for any new equivalence
class members it creates. I'd worried about this in the commit message
for db9f0e1d9a4a0842c814a464cdc9758c3f20b96c, but claimed that it wasn't a
problem because multi-member ECs should already exist when it runs. That
is transparently wrong, though, because this function is also called by
initialize_mergeclause_eclasses, which runs during deconstruct_jointree.
The example given in the bug report (which the new regression test item
is based upon) fails because the COALESCE() expression is first seen by
initialize_mergeclause_eclasses rather than process_equivalence.
Fixing this requires passing the appropriate nullable_relids set to
get_eclass_for_sort_expr, and it requires new code to compute that set
for top-level expressions such as ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etc. We store
the top-level nullable_relids in a new field in PlannerInfo to avoid
computing it many times. In the back branches, I've added the new
field at the end of the struct to minimize ABI breakage for planner
plugins. There doesn't seem to be a good alternative to changing
get_eclass_for_sort_expr's API signature, though. There probably aren't
any third-party extensions calling that function directly; moreover,
if there are, they probably need to think about what to pass for
nullable_relids anyway.

Make contain_volatile_functions/contain_mutable_functions look into SubLinks.
This change prevents us from doing inappropriate subquery flattening in

due to multiple evaluations of a volatile function, as in a recent

Because the new code only descends into SubLinks, not SubPlans or
InitPlans, the change only affects the planner's behavior during
prepjointree processing and not later on --- for example, you can still get
it to use a volatile function in an indexqual if you wrap the function in

whether there are volatile functions inside them. In any case, we need to

Fix generation of MergeAppend plans for optimized min/max on expressions.

Prevent memory leaks from accumulating across printtup() calls.
Historically, printtup() has assumed that it could prevent memory leakage
by pfree'ing the string result of each output function and manually
managing detoasting of toasted values. This amounts to assuming that
datatype output functions never leak any memory internally; an assumption
we've already decided to be bogus elsewhere, for example in COPY OUT.
range_out in particular is known to leak multiple kilobytes per call, as
noted in bug #8573 from Godfried Vanluffelen. While we could go in and fix
that leak, it wouldn't be very notationally convenient, and in any case
there have been and undoubtedly will again be other leaks in other output
functions. So what seems like the best solution is to run the output
functions in a temporary memory context that can be reset after each row,
as we're doing in COPY OUT. Some quick experimentation suggests this is
actually a tad faster than the retail pfree's anyway.
This patch fixes all the variants of printtup, except for debugtup()
which is used in standalone mode. It doesn't seem worth worrying
about query-lifespan leaks in standalone mode, and fixing that case
would be a bit tedious since debugtup() doesn't currently have any
startup or shutdown functions.
While at it, remove manual detoast management from several other
output-function call sites that had copied it from printtup(). This

Fix some odd behaviors when using a SQL-style simple GMT offset timezone.
Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset
(called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone
variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code
was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true. This is
of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only
timeofday() failing to honor the rule. A bigger problem was that
DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was
pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the
parameter. This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone
name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the
zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed
before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572).
The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators.
To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone
specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax
"<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in
DetermineTimeZoneOffset(). Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in
datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function
to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some
previously-set zone. It might also affect results in third-party

Fix spurious warning after vacuuming a page on a table with no indexes.
There is a rare race condition, when a transaction that inserted a tuple

Vacuum prunes the page first, which normally removes any dead tuples, but
if the inserting transaction aborts right after that, the loop after
pruning will see a dead tuple and remove it instead. That's OK, but if the
page is on a table with no indexes, and the page becomes completely empty
after removing the dead tuple (or tuples) on it, it will be immediately
marked as all-visible. That's OK, but the sanity check in vacuum would
throw a warning because it thinks that the page contains dead tuples and
was nevertheless marked as all-visible, even though it just vacuumed away
the dead tuples and so it doesn't actually contain any.

make_subplanTargetList has set need_tlist_eval == false, and that can only
happen if all the grouping columns are simple Vars. Therefore we only need

no longer validate constraints enforced by the indexes in question;
REINDEX INDEX still did so. Indexes marked invalid remained so, and
constraint violations arising from data corruption went undetected.
Back-patch to 9.0, like the causative commit.

Fix contrib/cube and contrib/seg to build with bison 3.0.
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated
by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0.
Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which
is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the
type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of
unsightly casting.

a back branch with up-to-date tools.

Fix configure probe for sys/ucred.h.

Fix booltestsel() for case where we have NULL stats but not MCV stats.
In a boolean column that contains mostly nulls, ANALYZE might not find
enough non-null values to populate the most-common-values stats,
but it would still create a pg_statistic entry with stanullfrac set.
The logic in booltestsel() for this situation did the wrong thing for
"col IS NOT TRUE" and "col IS NOT FALSE" tests, forgetting that null
values would satisfy these tests (so that the true selectivity would
be close to one, not close to zero). Per bug #8274.

Change post-rewriter representation of dropped columns in joinaliasvars.
It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a
view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it
will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to
replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation
of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble
with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after
subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN.
Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression
trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE()
still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr
generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code.
In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in
ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars
entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was
because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h,
which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the
same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed.

Fix error handling in PLy_spi_execute_fetch_result().
If an error is thrown out of the datatype I/O functions called by this
function, we need to do subtransaction cleanup, which the previous coding
entirely failed to do. Fortunately, both existing callers of this function
already have proper cleanup logic, so re-throwing the exception is enough.
Also, postpone creation of the resultset tupdesc until after the I/O
conversions are complete, so that we won't leak memory in TopMemoryContext
when such an error happens.

Fix regex match failures for backrefs combined with non-greedy quantifiers.
An ancient logic error in cfindloop() could cause the regex engine to fail
to find matches that begin later than the start of the string. This
function is only used when the regex pattern contains a back reference,
and so far as we can tell the error is only reachable if the pattern is
non-greedy (i.e. its first quantifier uses the ? modifier). Furthermore,
the actual match must begin after some potential match that satisfies the
DFA but then fails the back-reference's match test.

Ensure 64bit arithmetic when calculating tapeSpace
In tuplesort.c:inittapes(), we calculate tapeSpace by first figuring
out how many 'tapes' we can use (maxTapes) and then multiplying the
result by the tape buffer overhead for each. Unfortunately, when
we are on a system with an 8-byte long, we allow work_mem to be
larger than 2GB and that allows maxTapes to be large enough that the
32bit arithmetic can overflow when multiplied against the buffer
overhead.
When this overflow happens, we end up adding the overflow to the
amount of space available, causing the amount of memory allocated to
be larger than work_mem.
Note that to reach this point, you have to set work mem to at least
24GB and be sorting a set which is at least that size. Given that a
user who can set work_mem to 24GB could also set it even higher, if
they were looking to run the system out of memory, this isn't
considered a security issue.
This overflow risk was found by the Coverity scanner.

since before 8.4.

Fix planning of parameterized appendrel paths with expensive join quals.

Mark index-constraint comments with correct dependency in pg_dump.
When there's a comment on an index that was created with UNIQUE or PRIMARY
KEY constraint syntax, we need to label the comment as depending on the
constraint not the index, since only the constraint object actually appears
in the dump. This incorrect dependency can lead to parallel pg_restore
trying to restore the comment before the index has been created, per bug
#8257 from Lloyd Albin.
This patch fixes pg_dump to produce the right dependency in dumps made
in the future. Usually we also try to hack pg_restore to work around
bogus dependencies, so that existing (wrong) dumps can still be restored in
parallel mode; but that doesn't seem practical here since there's no easy
way to relate the constraint dump entry to the comment after the fact.

Expect EWOULDBLOCK from a non-blocking connect() call only on Windows.
On Unix-ish platforms, EWOULDBLOCK may be the same as EAGAIN, which is
*not* a success return, at least not on Linux. We need to treat it as a
failure to avoid giving a misleading error message. Per the Single Unix
Spec, only EINPROGRESS and EINTR returns indicate that the connection
attempt is in progress.
On Windows, on the other hand, EWOULDBLOCK (WSAEWOULDBLOCK) is the expected
case. We must accept EINPROGRESS as well because Cygwin will return that,
and it doesn't seem worth distinguishing Cygwin from native Windows here.
It's not very clear whether EINTR can occur on Windows, but let's leave
that part of the logic alone in the absence of concrete trouble reports.
Also, remove the test for errno == 0, effectively reverting commit da9501bddb42222dc33c031b1db6ce2133bcee7b, which AFAICS was just a thinko;
or at best it might have been a workaround for a platform-specific bug,
which we can hope is gone now thirteen years later. In any case, since
libpq makes no effort to reset errno to zero before calling connect(),
it seems unlikely that that test has ever reliably done anything useful.

Support clean switchover.
In replication, when we shutdown the master, walsender tries to send
all the outstanding WAL records to the standby, and then to exit. This
basically means that all the WAL records are fully synced between
two servers after the clean shutdown of the master. So, after
promoting the standby to new master, we can restart the stopped
master as new standby without the need for a fresh backup from
new master.
But there was one problem so far: though walsender tries to send all
the outstanding WAL records, it doesn't wait for them to be replicated
to the standby. Then, before receiving all the WAL records,
walreceiver can detect the closure of connection and exit. We cannot
guarantee that there is no missing WAL in the standby after clean
shutdown of the master. In this case, backup from new master is
required when restarting the stopped master as new standby.
This patch fixes this problem. It just changes walsender so that it
waits for all the outstanding WAL records to be replicated to the
standby before closing the replication connection.
Per discussion, this is a fix that needs to get backpatched rather than
new feature. So, back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for
this exists.

Only install a portal's ResourceOwner if it actually has one.
In most scenarios a portal without a ResourceOwner is dead and not subject
to any further execution, but a portal for a cursor WITH HOLD remains in
existence with no ResourceOwner after the creating transaction is over.
In this situation, if we attempt to "execute" the portal directly to fetch
data from it, we were setting CurrentResourceOwner to NULL, leading to a
segfault if the datatype output code did anything that required a resource
owner (such as trying to fetch system catalog entries that weren't already
cached). The case appears to be impossible to provoke with stock libpq,
but psqlODBC at least is able to cause it when working with held cursors.
Simplest fix is to just skip the assignment to CurrentResourceOwner, so
that any resources used by the data output operations will be managed by
the transaction-level resource owner instead. For consistency I changed
all the places that install a portal's resowner as current, even though
some of them are probably not reachable with a held cursor's portal.

a self-contained test case). Back-patch to all supported versions.
