Remove dynamic_shared_memory_type=none
PostgreSQL nowadays offers some kind of dynamic shared memory feature on
all supported platforms. Having the choice of "none" prevents us from
relying on DSM in core features. So this patch removes the choice of
"none".
Add test case for EEOP_INNER_SYSVAR/EEOP_OUTER_SYSVAR executor opcodes.
The EEOP_INNER_SYSVAR and EEOP_OUTER_SYSVAR executor opcodes are not
exercised by normal queries, because setrefs.c will resolve the references
to system columns in the scan nodes already. Join nodes refer to them by
their position in the child node's target list, like user columns.
The only place where those opcodes are used, is in evaluating a trigger's
WHEN condition that references system columns. Trigger evaluation abuses
the INNER/OUTER Vars to refer to the OLD and NEW tuples. The code to handle
the opcodes is pretty straightforward, but it seems like a good idea to
have some test coverage for them, anyway, so that they don't get removed or
broken by accident.

Rework order of end-of-recovery actions to delay timeline history write
A critical failure in some of the end-of-recovery actions before the
end-of-recovery record is written can cause PostgreSQL to react
inconsistently with the rest of the cluster in the event of a crash
before the final record is written. Two such failures are for example
an error while processing a two-phase state files or when operating on
recovery.conf. With this commit, the failures are still considered
FATAL, but the write of the timeline history file is delayed as much as
possible so as the window between the moment the file is written and the
end-of-recovery record is generated gets minimized. This way, in the
event of a crash or a failure, the new timeline decided at promotion
will not seem taken by other nodes in the cluster. It is not really
possible to reduce to zero this window, hence one could still see
failures if a crash happens between the history file write and the
end-of-recovery record, so any future code should be careful when
adding new end-of-recovery actions. The original report from Magnus
Hagander mentioned a renamed recovery.conf as original end-of-recovery
failure which caused a timeline to be seen as taken but the subsequent
processing on the now-missing recovery.conf cause the startup process to
issue stop on FATAL, which at follow-up startup made the system
inconsistent because of on-disk changes which already happened.
Processing of two-phase state files still needs some work as corrupted
entries are simply ignored now. This is left as a future item and this
commit fixes the original complain.

Fix WITH CHECK OPTION on views referencing postgres_fdw tables.
If a view references a foreign table, and the foreign table has a
BEFORE INSERT trigger, then it's possible for a tuple inserted or
updated through the view to be changed such that it violates the
view's WITH CHECK OPTION constraint.
Before this commit, postgres_fdw handled this case inconsistently. A
RETURNING clause on the INSERT or UPDATE statement targeting the view
would cause the finally-inserted tuple to be read back, and the WITH
CHECK OPTION violation would throw an error. But without a RETURNING
clause, postgres_fdw would not read the final tuple back, and WITH
CHECK OPTION would not throw an error for the violation (or may throw
an error when there is no real violation). AFTER ROW triggers on the
foreign table had a similar effect as a RETURNING clause on the INSERT
or UPDATE statement.
To fix, this commit retrieves the attributes needed to enforce the
WITH CHECK OPTION constraint along with the attributes needed for the
RETURNING clause (if any) from the remote side. Thus, the WITH CHECK
OPTION constraint is always evaluated against the final tuple after
any triggers on the remote side.
This fix may be considered inconsistent with CHECK constraints
declared on foreign tables, which are not enforced locally at all
(because the constraint is on a remote object). The discussion
concluded that this difference is reasonable, because the WITH CHECK
OPTION is a constraint on the local view (not any remote object);
therefore it only makes sense to enforce its WITH CHECK OPTION
constraint locally.

Fix assert in nested SQL procedure call
When executing CALL in PL/pgSQL, we need to set a snapshot before
invoking the to-be-called procedure. Otherwise, the to-be-called
procedure might end up running without a snapshot. For LANGUAGE SQL
procedures, this would result in an assertion failure. (For most other
languages, this is usually not a problem, because those use SPI and SPI
sets snapshots in most cases.) Setting the snapshot restores the
behavior of how CALL worked when it was handled as a generic SQL
statement in PL/pgSQL (exec_stmt_execsql()).
This change revealed another problem: In SPI_commit(), we popped the
active snapshot before committing the transaction, to avoid "snapshot %p
still active" errors. However, there is no particular reason why only
at most one snapshot should be on the stack. So change this to pop all

(say, disk is full and WAL won't recycle because of the slot), it's
inconvenient.

Reduce cost of test_decoding's new oldest_xmin test
Change a whole-database VACUUM into doing just pg_attribute, which is

runtime exceeds isolationtester timeout when it's super-slow, such as
under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. Per buildfarm member friarbird.
It turns out that the previous shape of the test doesn't always detect
the condition it is supposed to detect (on unpatched reorderbuffer
code): the reason is that there is a good chance of encountering a
xl_running_xacts record (logged every 15 seconds) before the checkpoint
-- and because we advance the xmin when we receive that WAL record, and
we *don't* advance the xmin twice consecutively without receiving a
client message in between, that means the xmin is not advanced enough
for the tuple to be pruned from pg_attribute by VACUUM. So the test
would spuriously pass.
The reason this test deficiency wasn't detected earlier is that HOT
pruning removes the tuple anyway, even if vacuum leaves it in place, so
the test correctly fails (detecting the coding mistake), but for the
wrong reason.
To fix this mess, run the s0_get_changes step twice before vacuum
instead of once: this seems to cause the xmin to be advanced reliably,
wreaking havoc with more certainty.

Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotion
If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first
post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks
the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be
set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while
all the WAL available should be replayed. This leads to the instance
thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard
instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for
certain sets of records replayed. When in crash recovery,
minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr,
which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this
commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the
control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash
recovery is performed. Once switching to archive recovery or if crash
recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely

Fix "base" snapshot handling in logical decoding
Two closely related bugs are fixed. First, xmin of logical slots was
advanced too early. During xl_running_xacts processing, xmin of the
slot was set to the oldest running xid in the record, but that's wrong:
actually, snapshots which will be used for not-yet-replayed transactions
might consider older txns as running too, so we need to keep xmin back
for them. The problem wasn't noticed earlier because DDL which allows
to delete tuple (set xmax) while some another not-yet-committed
transaction looks at it is pretty rare, if not unique: e.g. all forms of
ALTER TABLE which change schema acquire ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock
conflicting with any inserts. The included test case (test_decoding's
oldest_xmin) uses ALTER of a composite type, which doesn't have such
interlocking.
To deal with this, we must be able to quickly retrieve oldest xmin
(oldest running xid among all assigned snapshots) from ReorderBuffer. To
fix, add another list of ReorderBufferTXNs to the reorderbuffer, where
transactions are sorted by base-snapshot-LSN. This is slightly
different from the existing (sorted by first-LSN) list, because a
transaction can have an earlier LSN but a later Xmin, if its first
record does not obtain an xmin (eg. xl_xact_assignment). Note this new
list doesn't fully replace the existing txn list: we still need that one
to prevent WAL recycling.
The second issue concerns SnapBuilder snapshots and subtransactions.
SnapBuildDistributeNewCatalogSnapshot never assigned a snapshot to a
transaction that is known to be a subtxn, which is good in the common
case that the top-level transaction already has one (no point in doing
so), but a bug otherwise. To fix, arrange to transfer the snapshot from
the subtxn to its top-level txn as soon as the kinship gets known.
test_decoding's snapshot_transfer verifies this.
Also, fix a minor memory leak: refcount of toplevel's old base snapshot
was not decremented when the snapshot is transferred from child.

The backup history file has been no longer necessary for recovery

Allow direct lookups of AppendRelInfo by child relid
find_appinfos_by_relids had quite a large overhead when the number of
items in the append_rel_list was high, as it had to trawl through the
append_rel_list looking for AppendRelInfos belonging to the given
childrelids. Since there can only be a single AppendRelInfo for each
child rel, it seems much better to store an array in PlannerInfo which
indexes these by child relid, making the function O(1) rather than O(N).
This function was only called once inside the planner, so just replace
that call with a lookup to the new array. find_childrel_appendrelinfo
is now unused and thus removed.
This fixes a planner performance regression new to v11 reported by
Thomas Reiss.

Increase upper limit for vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor
Upper limits for vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor GUC and reloption
were initially set to 100.0 in 857f9c36. However, after further
discussion, it appears that some users like to disable B-tree cleanup
index scan completely (assuming there are no deleted pages).
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor is used barely to protect against
stalled index statistics. And after detailed consideration it appears
that risk of stalled index statistics is low. And it would be nice to
allow advanced users setting higher values of
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor. So, set upper limit for these
GUC and reloption to DBL_MAX.

Move RecoveryLockList into a hash table.
Standbys frequently need to release all locks held by a given xid.
Instead of searching one big list linearly, let's create one list

Address set of issues with errno handling
System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which
several code paths have not correctly handled:
1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than
what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful
enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to
ENOSPC, other calls missed that.
2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls
which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is
reported to the user to be incorrect.
This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code
paths. Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as
future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.

Allow for pg_upgrade of attributes with missing values
Commit 16828d5c02 neglected to do this, so upgraded databases would
silently get null instead of the specified default in rows without the

A new binary upgrade function is provided to perform this and pg_dump is
adjusted to output a call to the function if required in binary upgrade
mode.
Also included is code to drop missing attribute values for dropped
columns. That way if the type is later dropped the missing value won't
have a dangling reference to the type.
Finally the regression tests are adjusted to ensure that there is a row

Set correct context for XPath evaluation
According to the SQL standard, the context of XMLTABLE's XPath
row_expression is the document node of the XML input document, not the
root node. This becomes visible when a relative path rather than
absolute is used as row expression. Absolute paths is what was used in
original tests and docs (and the most common form used in examples
throughout the interwebs), which explains why this wasn't noticed
before.
Other functions such as xpath() and xpath_exists() also have this
problem. While not specified by the SQL standard, it would be pretty
odd to leave those functions to behave differently than XMLTABLE, so
change them too. However, this is a backwards-incompatible change.
No backpatch, out of fear of breaking code depending on the original
broken behavior.

targetlist" during create_plan(), as reported by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
To fix, make this logic track the sortgroupref labeling of expressions,
not just their contents. This also restores the pre-v10 behavior that
separate GROUP BY expressions will be kept distinct even if they are
