Add a debugging option to stress-test outfuncs.c and readfuncs.c.
In the normal course of operation, query trees will be serialized only if
they are stored as views or rules; and plan trees will be serialized only
if they get passed to parallel-query workers. This leaves an awful lot of
opportunity for bugs/oversights to not get detected, as indeed we've just
been reminded of the hard way.
To improve matters, this patch adds a new compile option
WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, which is modeled on the longstanding option
COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES; but instead of passing all parse and plan trees
through copyObject, it passes them through nodeToString + stringToNode.
Enabling this option in a buildfarm animal or two will catch problems
at least for cases that are exercised by the regression tests.
A small problem with this idea is that readfuncs.c historically has
discarded location fields, on the reasonable grounds that parse
locations in a retrieved view are not relevant to the current query.
But doing that in WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES breaks pg_stat_statements,
and it could cause problems for future improvements that might try to
report error locations at runtime. To fix that, provide a variant
behavior in readfuncs.c that makes it restore location fields when
told to.
In passing, const-ify the string arguments of stringToNode and its
subsidiary functions, just because it annoyed me that they weren't
const already.

Fix some minor issues exposed by outfuncs/readfuncs testing.
A test patch to pass parse and plan trees through outfuncs + readfuncs
exposed several issues that need to be fixed to get clean matches:
Query.withCheckOptions failed to get copied; it's intentionally ignored
by outfuncs/readfuncs on the grounds that it'd always be NIL anyway in
stored rules. This seems less than future-proof, and it's not even
saving very much, so just undo the decision and treat the field like
all others.
Several places that convert a view RTE into a subquery RTE, or similar
manipulations, failed to clear out fields that were specific to the
original RTE type and should be zero in a subquery RTE. Since readfuncs.c
will leave such fields as zero, equalfuncs.c thinks the nodes are different
leading to a reported mismatch. It seems like a good idea to clear out the
no-longer-needed fields, even though in principle nothing should look at
them; the node ought to be indistinguishable from how it would look if
we'd built a new node instead of scribbling on the old one.
BuildOnConflictExcludedTargetlist randomly set the resname of some
TargetEntries to "" not NULL. outfuncs/readfuncs don't distinguish those
cases, and so the string will read back in as NULL ... but equalfuncs.c
does distinguish. Perhaps we ought to try to make things more consistent
in this area --- but it's just useless extra code space for
BuildOnConflictExcludedTargetlist to not use NULL here, so I fixed it for
now by making it do that.
catversion bumped because the change in handling of Query.withCheckOptions

Fix some probably-minor oversights in readfuncs.c.
The system expects TABLEFUNC RTEs to have coltypes, coltypmods, and
colcollations lists, but outfuncs doesn't dump them and readfuncs doesn't
restore them. This doesn't cause obvious failures, because the only things
that look at those fields are expandRTE() and get_rte_attribute_type(),
which are mostly used during parse analysis, before anything would've
passed the parsetree through outfuncs/readfuncs. But expandRTE() is used
in build_physical_tlist(), which means that that function will return a
wrong answer for a TABLEFUNC RTE that came from a view. Very accidentally,
this doesn't cause serious problems, because what it will return is NIL
which callers will interpret as "couldn't build a physical tlist because
of dropped columns". So you still get a plan that works, though it's
marginally less efficient than it could be. There are also some other
expandRTE() calls associated with transformation of whole-row Vars in
the planner. I have been unable to exhibit misbehavior from that, and
it may be unreachable in any case that anyone would care about ... but
I'm not entirely convinced, so this seems like something we should back-
patch a fix for. Fortunately, we can fix it without forcing a change
of stored rules and a catversion bump, because we can just copy these
lists from the subsidiary TableFunc object.
readfuncs.c was also missing support for NamedTuplestoreScan plan nodes.
This accidentally fails to break parallel query because a query using
a named tuplestore would never be considered parallel-safe anyway.
However, project policy since parallel query came in is that all plan
node types should have outfuncs/readfuncs support, so this is clearly
an oversight that should be repaired.

Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks.
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is,
uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already
been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that
execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals.
But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only
reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression
could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the
CASE test depends on a column that was just updated.
This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in
commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case.
To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan
subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the
EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is
expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling
one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding
more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches.

Improve parallel scheduling logic in pg_dump/pg_restore.
Previously, the way this worked was that a parallel pg_dump would
re-order the TABLE_DATA items in the dump's TOC into decreasing size
order, and separately re-order (some of) the INDEX items into decreasing
size order. Then pg_dump would dump the items in that order. Later,
parallel pg_restore just followed the TOC order. This method had lots
of deficiencies:
* TOC ordering randomly differed between parallel and non-parallel
dumps, and was hard to predict in the former case, causing problems
for building stable pg_dump test cases.
* Parallel restore only followed a well-chosen order if the dump had
been done in parallel; in particular, this never happened for restore
from custom-format dumps.
* The best order for restore isn't necessarily the same as for dump,
and it's not really static either because of locking considerations.
* TABLE_DATA and INDEX items aren't the only things that might take a lot
of work during restore. Scheduling was particularly stupid for the BLOBS
item, which might require lots of work during dump as well as restore,
but was left to the end in either case.
This patch removes the logic that changed the TOC order, fixing the
test instability problem. Instead, we sort the parallelizable items
just before processing them during a parallel dump. Independently
of that, parallel restore prioritizes the ready-to-execute tasks
based on the size of the underlying table. In the case of dependent
tasks such as index, constraint, or foreign key creation, the largest
relevant table is used as the metric for estimating the task length.
(This is pretty crude, but it should be enough to avoid the case we
want to avoid, which is ending the run with just a few large tasks
such that we can't make use of all N workers.)

Fix ALTER/TYPE on columns referenced by FKs in partitioned tables
When ALTER TABLE ... SET DATA TYPE affects a column referenced by
constraints and indexes, it drop those constraints and indexes and
recreates them afterwards, so that the definitions match the new data
type. The original code did this by dropping one object at a time
(commit 077db40fa1f3 of May 2004), which worked fine because the
dependencies between the objects were pretty straightforward, and
ordering the objects in a specific way was enough to make this work.
However, when there are foreign key constraints in partitioned tables,
the dependencies are no longer so straightforward, and we were getting
errors when attempted:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for constraint 16398

performMultipleDeletions (introduced by df18c51f2955 of Aug 2006). With
this change we can also remove the code to carefully order the list of
objects to be deleted.

Attempt to identify system timezone by reading /etc/localtime symlink.
On many modern platforms, /etc/localtime is a symlink to a file within the

timezone directly, without going through the brute-force search embodied in
scan_available_timezones(). This shortens the runtime of initdb by some
tens of ms, which is helpful for the buildfarm, and it also allows us to
reliably select the same zone name the system was actually configured for,
rather than possibly choosing one of IANA's many zone aliases. (For
example, in a system configured for "Asia/Tokyo", the brute-force search
would not choose that name but its alias "Japan", on the grounds of the
latter string being shorter. More surprisingly, "Navajo" is preferred
to either "America/Denver" or "US/Mountain", as seen in an old complaint

If /etc/localtime doesn't exist, or isn't a symlink, or we can't make

references within the shlib. So we'd already been using a version
script for libpq on popular platforms, but it's now apparent that it's
necessary for correctness on every ELF-based platform.

Improve behavior of to_timestamp()/to_date() functions
to_timestamp()/to_date() functions were introduced mainly for Oracle
compatibility, and became very popular among PostgreSQL users. However, some
behavior of to_timestamp()/to_date() functions are both incompatible with Oracle
and confusing for our users. This behavior is related to handling of spaces and
separators in non FX (fixed format) mode. This commit reworks this behavior
making less confusing, better documented and more compatible with Oracle.
Nevertheless, there are still following incompatibilities with Oracle.
1) We don't insist that there are no format string patterns unmatched to
input string.
2) In FX mode we don't insist space and separators in format string to exactly
match input string.
3) When format string patterns are divided by mix of spaces and separators, we
don't distinguish them, while Oracle takes into account only last group of
spaces/separators.

Install a check for mis-linking of src/port and src/common functions.
On ELF-based platforms (and maybe others?) it's possible for a shared
library, when dynamically loaded into the backend, to call the backend
versions of src/port and src/common functions rather than the frontend
versions that are actually linked into the shlib. This is definitely
not what we want, because the frontend versions often behave slightly
differently. Up to now it's been "slight" enough that nobody noticed;
but with the addition of SCRAM support functions in src/common, we're
observing crashes due to the difference between palloc and malloc
memory allocation rules, as reported in bug #15367 from Jeremy Evans.
The purpose of this patch is to create a direct test for this type of
mis-linking, so that we know whether any given platform requires extra
measures to prevent using the wrong functions. If the test fails, it
will lead to connection failures in the contrib/postgres_fdw regression

the problem and can be expected to fail; but we need to know whether
anything else does, and we need a reliable ongoing check for future

Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish().
This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally
independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another,
perhaps without knowing that it does so.
Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects
SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output
function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve
re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards
elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users.
Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which
would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them
to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more
useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any
dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited.
Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after
saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's
possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone
contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was
the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for
an inner user. Now it's consistent.

Fix longstanding recursion hazard in sinval message processing.
LockRelationOid and sibling routines supposed that, if our session already
holds the lock they were asked to acquire, they could skip calling
AcceptInvalidationMessages on the grounds that we must have already read
any remote sinval messages issued against the relation being locked.
This is normally true, but there's a critical special case where it's not:
processing inside AcceptInvalidationMessages might attempt to access system
relations, resulting in a recursive call to acquire a relation lock.
Hence, if the outer call had acquired that same system catalog lock, we'd
fall through, despite the possibility that there's an as-yet-unread sinval
message for that system catalog. This could, for example, result in
failure to access a system catalog or index that had just been processed
by VACUUM FULL. This is the explanation for buildfarm failures we've been
seeing intermittently for the past three months. The bug is far older
than that, but commits a54e1f158 et al added a new recursion case within
AcceptInvalidationMessages that is apparently easier to hit than any
previous case.
To fix this, we must not skip calling AcceptInvalidationMessages until
we have *finished* a call to it since acquiring a relation lock, not
merely acquired the lock. (There's already adequate logic inside
AcceptInvalidationMessages to deal with being called recursively.)
Fortunately, we can implement that at trivial cost, by adding a flag
to LOCALLOCK hashtable entries that tracks whether we know we have
completed such a call.
There is an API hazard added by this patch for external callers of
LockAcquire: if anything is testing for LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_HELD,
it might be fooled by the new return code LOCKACQUIRE_ALREADY_CLEAR
into thinking the lock wasn't already held. This should be a fail-soft
condition, though, unless something very bizarre is being done in
response to the test.
Also, I added an additional output argument to LockAcquireExtended,
assuming that that probably isn't called by any outside code given
the very limited usefulness of its additional functionality.

Improve handling of corrupted two-phase state files at recovery
When a corrupted two-phase state file is found by WAL replay, be it for
crash recovery or archive recovery, then the file is simply skipped and
a WARNING is logged to the user, causing the transaction to be silently
lost. Facing an on-disk WAL file which is corrupted is as likely to
happen as what is stored in WAL records, but WAL records are already
able to fail hard if there is a CRC mismatch. On-disk two-phase state
files, on the contrary, are simply ignored if corrupted. Note that when
restoring the initial two-phase data state at recovery, files newer than
the horizon XID are discarded hence no files present in pg_twophase/
should be torned and have been made durable by a previous checkpoint, so
recovery should never see any corrupted two-phase state file by design.
The situation got better since 978b2f6 which has added two-phase state
information directly in WAL instead of using on-disk files, so the risk
is limited to two-phase transactions which live across at least one
checkpoint for long periods. Backups having legit two-phase state files
on-disk could also lose silently transactions when restored if things
get corrupted.
This behavior exists since two-phase commit has been introduced, no
back-patch is done for now per the lack of complaints about this
problem.

Commit be54b3777 failed on gmake 3.80 due to a chained conditional,

all the actual changes are my fault.
libpq connection options as returned by PQconndefaults() have a
"dispchar" field that determines (among other things) whether an option
is a "debug" option, which shouldn't be shown by default to clients.
postgres_fdw makes use of that to control which connection options to
accept from a foreign server configuration.
Curiously, the "options" option, which allows passing configuration
settings to the backend server, was listed as a debug option, which
prevented it from being used by postgres_fdw. Maybe it was once meant
for debugging, but it's clearly in general use nowadays.

Make contrib/unaccent's unaccent() function work when not in search path.
Since the fixes for CVE-2018-1058, we've advised people to schema-qualify

a minimal search_path setting. However, that's insufficient to make the
single-argument form of unaccent() work, because it looks up the "unaccent"
text search dictionary using the search path.
The most expedient answer seems to be to remove the search_path dependency
by making it look in the same schema that the unaccent() function itself
is declared in. This will definitely work for the normal usage of this
function with the unaccent dictionary provided by the extension.
It's barely possible that there are people who were relying on the
search-path-dependent behavior to select other dictionaries with the same
name; but if there are any such people at all, they can still get that
behavior by writing unaccent('unaccent', ...), or possibly
unaccent('unaccent'::text::regdictionary, ...) if the lookup has to be
postponed to runtime.

Fully enforce uniqueness of constraint names.
It's been true for a long time that we expect names of table and domain
constraints to be unique among the constraints of that table or domain.
However, the enforcement of that has been pretty haphazard, and it missed
some corner cases such as creating a CHECK constraint and then an index
constraint of the same name (as per recent report from André Hänsel).
Also, due to the lack of an actual unique index enforcing this, duplicates
could be created through race conditions.
Moreover, the code that searches pg_constraint has been quite inconsistent
about how to handle duplicate names if one did occur: some places checked
and threw errors if there was more than one match, while others just
processed the first match they came to.
To fix, create a unique index on (conrelid, contypid, conname). Since
either conrelid or contypid is zero, this will separately enforce
uniqueness of constraint names among constraints of any one table and any
one domain. (If we ever implement SQL assertions, and put them into this
catalog, more thought might be needed. But it'd be at least as reasonable
to put them into a new catalog; having overloaded this one catalog with
two kinds of constraints was a mistake already IMO.) This index can replace
the existing non-unique index on conrelid, though we need to keep the one
on contypid for query performance reasons.
Having done that, we can simplify the logic in various places that either
coped with duplicates or neglected to, as well as potentially improve
lookup performance when searching for a constraint by name.
Also, as per our usual practice, install a preliminary check so that you
get something more friendly than a unique-index violation report in the
case complained of by André. And teach ChooseIndexName to avoid choosing
autogenerated names that would draw such a failure.
While it's not possible to make such a change in the back branches,

Fix 8a934d677 for libc++ and make more include order resistant.
The previous definition was used in C++ mode, which causes problems
when using clang with libc++ (rather than libstdc++), due to bugs
therein. So just avoid in C++ mode.
A second problem is that depending on include order and implicit
includes the previous definition did not guarantee that the current
hack was effective by the time isinf was used, fix that by forcing
math.h to be included. This can cause clang using builds, or gcc
using ones with JIT enabled, to slow down noticably.
It's likely that we at some point want a better solution for the
performance problem, but while it's there it should better work.

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.

Make checksum_impl.h safe to compile with -fstrict-aliasing.
In general, Postgres requires -fno-strict-aliasing with compilers that
implement C99 strict aliasing rules. There's little hope of getting
rid of that overall. But it seems like it would be a good idea if
storage/checksum_impl.h in particular didn't depend on it, because
that header is explicitly intended to be included by external programs.
We don't have a lot of control over the compiler switches that an
external program might use, as shown by Michael Banck's report of
failure in a privately-modified version of pg_verify_checksums.
Hence, switch to using a union in place of willy-nilly pointer casting
inside this file. I think this makes the code a bit more readable
anyway.
checksum_impl.h hasn't changed since it was introduced in 9.3,
so back-patch all the way.

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.
Back-patch to PG11 where partitionwise join was introduced.
