This corrects a small bug in zic that caused it to output an incorrect

More interestingly, zic has grown a "-r" option that limits the range of
zone transitions that it will put into the output files. That might be
useful to people who don't like the weird GMT offsets that tzdb likes
to use for very old dates. It appears that for dates before the cutoff

to cause all dates before 1910-01-01 to be treated as though 1910

Apply stopgap fix for bug #15672.
Fix DefineIndex so that it doesn't attempt to pass down a to-be-reused
index relfilenode to a child index creation, and fix TryReuseIndex
to not think that reuse is sensible for a partitioned index.
In v11, this fixes a problem where ALTER TABLE on a partitioned table
could assign the same relfilenode to several different child indexes,
causing very nasty catalog corruption --- in fact, attempting to DROP
the partitioned table then leads not only to a database crash, but to
inability to restart because the same crash will recur during WAL replay.
Either of these two changes would be enough to prevent the failure, but
since neither action could possibly be sane, let's put in both changes
for future-proofing.
In HEAD, no such bug manifests, but that's just an accidental consequence
of having changed the pg_class representation of partitioned indexes to
have relfilenode = 0. Both of these changes still seem like smart
future-proofing.
This is only a stop-gap because the code for ALTER TABLE on a partitioned
table with a no-op type change still leaves a great deal to be desired.
As the added regression tests show, it gets things wrong for comments on
child indexes/constraints, and it is regenerating child indexes it doesn't
have to. However, fixing those problems will take more work which may not
get back-patched into v11. We need a fix for the corruption problem now.

Sanitize line pointers within contrib/amcheck.
Adopt a more defensive approach to accessing index tuples in

accessing associated tuple using pointer arithmetic based on line
pointer's offset. This avoids undefined behavior and assertion failures

When an existing index in a partition is attached to a new index on
its parent, we forgot to set the "relispartition" flag correctly, which
meant that it was not possible to find the index in various operations,
such as adding a foreign key constraint that references that partitioned
table. One of four places that was assigning the parent index was
forgetting to do that, so fix by shifting responsibility of updating the
flag to the routine that changes the parent.
Commit 3eb77eba5a renamed some functions, but forgot to
update some comments referencing to those functions.
This commit fixes those function names in the comments.
Commit ca4103025dfe left a few loose ends. The most important one
(broken pg_dump output) is already fixed by virtue of commit 3b23552ad8bb, but some things remained:
* When ALTER TABLE rewrites tables, the indexes must remain in the
tablespace they were originally in. This didn't work because
index recreation during ALTER TABLE runs manufactured SQL (yuck),
which runs afoul of default_tablespace in competition with the parent
relation tablespace. To fix, reset default_tablespace to the empty
string temporarily, and add the TABLESPACE clause as appropriate.
* Setting a partitioned rel's tablespace to the database default is
confusing; if it worked, it would direct the partitions to that
tablespace regardless of default_tablespace. But in reality it does
not work, and making it work is a larger project. Therefore, throw
an error when this condition is detected, to alert the unwary.
Make pg_dump emit ATTACH PARTITION instead of PARTITION OF
Using PARTITION OF can result in column ordering being changed from the
database being dumped, if the partition uses a column layout different
from the parent's. It's not pg_dump's job to editorialize on table
definitions, so this is not acceptable; back-patch all the way back to
pg10, where partitioned tables where introduced.
This change also ensures that partitions end up in the correct
tablespace, if different from the parent's; this is an oversight in ca4103025dfe (in pg12 only). Partitioned indexes (in pg11) don't have
this problem, because they're already created as independent indexes and
attached to their parents afterwards.
This change also has the advantage that the partition is restorable from
the dump (as a standalone table) even if its parent table isn't
restored.

postgres_fdw: Fix incorrect handling of row movement for remote partitions.
Commit 3d956d9562 added support for update row movement in postgres_fdw.
This patch fixes the following issues introduced by that commit:
* When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an
UPDATE subplan target rel that would be updated later, the UPDATE that
used a direct modification plan modified those routed rows incorrectly
because those routed rows were visible to the later UPDATE command.
The right fix for this would be to have some way in postgres_fdw in
which the later UPDATE command ignores those routed rows, but it seems
hard to do so with the current infrastructure. For now throw an error
in that case.
* When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an
UPDATE subplan target rel, fmstate created for the UPDATE that used a
non-direct modification plan was mistakenly overridden by another
fmstate created for inserting those routed rows into the partition.
This caused 1) server crash when the partition would be updated later,
and 2) resource leak when the partition had been already updated. To
avoid that, adjust the treatment of the fmstate for the inserting. As
for #1, since we would also have the incorrectness issue as mentioned
above, error out in that case as well.

the case where a remote partition chosen to insert a routed row into is

Repair assorted issues in locale data extraction.
cache_locale_time (extraction of LC_TIME-related info) had never been
taught the lessons we previously learned about extraction of info related
to LC_MONETARY and LC_NUMERIC. Specifically, commit 95a777c61 taught
PGLC_localeconv() that data coming out of localeconv() was in an encoding
determined by the relevant locale, but we didn't realize that there's a
similar issue with strftime(). And commit a4930e7ca hardened
PGLC_localeconv() against errors occurring partway through, but failed
to do likewise for cache_locale_time(). So, rearrange the latter
function to perform encoding conversion and not risk failure while
it's got the locales set to temporary values.
This time around I also changed PGLC_localeconv() to treat it as FATAL
if it can't restore the previous settings of the locale values. There
is no reason (except possibly OOM) for that to fail, and proceeding with
the wrong locale values seems like a seriously bad idea --- especially
on Windows where we have to also temporarily change LC_CTYPE. Also,
protect against the possibility that we can't identify the codeset
reported for LC_MONETARY or LC_NUMERIC; rather than just failing,
try to validate the data without conversion.
The user-visible symptom this fixes is that if LC_TIME is set to a locale
name that implies an encoding different from the database encoding,
non-ASCII localized day and month names would be retrieved in the wrong
encoding, leading to either unexpected encoding-conversion error reports
or wrong output from to_char(). The other possible failure modes are
unlikely enough that we've not seen reports of them, AFAIK.
The encoding conversion problems do not manifest on Windows, since
we'd already created special-case code to handle that issue there.

Prevent O(N^2) unique index insertion edge case.
Commit dd299df8 made nbtree treat heap TID as a tiebreaker column,
establishing the principle that there is only one correct location (page
and page offset number) for every index tuple, no matter what.
Insertions of tuples into non-unique indexes proceed as if heap TID
(scan key's scantid) is just another user-attribute value, but
insertions into unique indexes are more delicate. The TID value in
scantid must initially be omitted to ensure that the unique index
insertion visits every leaf page that duplicates could be on. The
scantid is set once again after unique checking finishes successfully,
which can force _bt_findinsertloc() to step right one or more times, to
locate the leaf page that the new tuple must be inserted on.
Stepping right within _bt_findinsertloc() was assumed to occur no more
frequently than stepping right within _bt_check_unique(), but there was
one important case where that assumption was incorrect: inserting a
"duplicate" with NULL values. Since _bt_check_unique() didn't do any
real work in this case, it wasn't appropriate for _bt_findinsertloc() to
behave as if it was finishing off a conventional unique insertion, where
any existing physical duplicate must be dead or recently dead.
_bt_findinsertloc() might have to grovel through a substantial portion
of all of the leaf pages in the index to insert a single tuple, even
when there were no dead tuples.
To fix, treat insertions of tuples with NULLs into a unique index as if
they were insertions into a non-unique index: never unset scantid before
calling _bt_search() to descend the tree, and bypass _bt_check_unique()
entirely. _bt_check_unique() is no longer responsible for incoming
tuples with NULL values.

Avoid order-of-execution problems with ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY.
Up to now, DefineIndex() was responsible for adding attnotnull constraints
to the columns of a primary key, in any case where it hadn't been
convenient for transformIndexConstraint() to mark those columns as
is_not_null. It (or rather its minion index_check_primary_key) did this
by executing an ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL command for the target table.
The trouble with this solution is that if we're creating the index due
to ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, and the outer ALTER TABLE has additional
sub-commands, the inner ALTER TABLE's operations executed at the wrong
time with respect to the outer ALTER TABLE's operations. In particular,
the inner ALTER would perform a validation scan at a point where the
table's storage might be inconsistent with its catalog entries. (This is
on the hairy edge of being a security problem, but AFAICS it isn't one
because the inner scan would only be interested in the tuples' null
bitmaps.) This can result in unexpected failures, such as the one seen
in bug #15580 from Allison Kaptur.
To fix, let's remove the attempt to do SET NOT NULL from DefineIndex(),
reducing index_check_primary_key's role to verifying that the columns are
already not null. (It shouldn't ever see such a case, but it seems wise
to keep the check for safety.) Instead, make transformIndexConstraint()
generate ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL subcommands to be executed ahead of
the ADD PRIMARY KEY operation in every case where it can't force the
column to be created already-not-null. This requires only minor surgery
in parse_utilcmd.c, and it makes for a much more satisfying spec for
transformIndexConstraint(): it's no longer having to take it on faith
that someone else will handle addition of NOT NULL constraints.
To make that work, we have to move the execution of AT_SetNotNull into
an ALTER pass that executes ahead of AT_PASS_ADD_INDEX. I moved it to
AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS, and put that after AT_PASS_ADD_COL to avoid failure
when the column is being added in the same command. This incidentally
fixes a bug in the only previous usage of AT_PASS_COL_ATTRS, for
AT_SetIdentity: it didn't work either for a newly-added column.
Playing around with this exposed a separate bug in ALTER TABLE ONLY ...
ADD PRIMARY KEY for partitioned tables. The intent of the ONLY modifier
in that context is to prevent doing anything that would require holding
lock for a long time --- but the implied SET NOT NULL would recurse to
the child partitions, and do an expensive validation scan for any child
where the column(s) were not already NOT NULL. To fix that, invent a
new ALTER subcommand AT_CheckNotNull that just insists that a child
column be already NOT NULL, and apply that, not AT_SetNotNull, when
recursing to children in this scenario. This results in a slightly laxer
definition of ALTER TABLE ONLY ... SET NOT NULL for partitioned tables,
too: that command will now work as long as all children are already NOT
NULL, whereas before it just threw up its hands if there were any
partitions.
In passing, clean up the API of generateClonedIndexStmt(): remove a
useless argument, ensure that the output argument is not left undefined,
update the header comment.
A small side effect of this change is that no-such-column errors in ALTER
TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY now produce a different message that includes the
table name, because they are now detected by the SET NOT NULL step which
has historically worded its error that way. That seems fine to me, so
I didn't make any effort to avoid the wording change.
The basic bug #15580 is of very long standing, and these other bugs
aren't new in v12 either. However, this is a pretty significant change
in the way ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works. On balance it seems best
not to back-patch, at least not till we get some more confidence that

Prevent memory leaks associated with relcache rd_partcheck structures.
The original coding of generate_partition_qual() just copied the list
of predicate expressions into the global CacheMemoryContext, making it
effectively impossible to clean up when the owning relcache entry is
destroyed --- the relevant code in RelationDestroyRelation() only managed
to free the topmost List header :-(. This resulted in a session-lifespan
memory leak whenever a table partition's relcache entry is rebuilt.
Fortunately, that's not normally a large data structure, and rebuilds
shouldn't occur all that often in production situations; but this is
still a bug worth fixing back to v10 where the code was introduced.
To fix, put the cached expression tree into its own small memory context,
as we do with other complicated substructures of relcache entries.
Also, deal more honestly with the case that a partition has an empty
partcheck list; while that probably isn't a case that's very interesting
for production use, it's legal.
In passing, clarify comments about how partitioning-related relcache
data structures are managed, and add some Asserts that we're not leaking
old copies when we overwrite these data fields.
postmaster startup scrutinizes any shared memory segment recorded in
postmaster.pid, exiting if that segment matches the current data
directory and has an attached process. When the postmaster.pid file was
missing, a starting postmaster used weaker checks. Change to use the
same checks in both scenarios. This increases the chance of a startup
failure, in lieu of data corruption, if the DBA does "kill -9 `head -n1
postmaster.pid` && rm postmaster.pid && pg_ctl -w start". A postmaster
will no longer stop if shmat() of an old segment fails with EACCES. A
postmaster will no longer recycle segments pertaining to other data
directories. That's good for production, but it's bad for integration
tests that crash a postmaster and immediately delete its data directory.
Such a test now leaks a segment indefinitely. No "make check-world"
test does that. win32_shmem.c already avoided all these problems. In
9.6 and later, enhance PostgresNode to facilitate testing. Back-patch

Speed up sort-order-comparison tests in create_index_spgist.
This test script verifies that KNN searches of an SP-GiST index
produce the same sort order as a seqscan-and-sort. The FULL JOINs
used for that are exceedingly slow, however. Investigation shows
that the problem is that the initial join is on the rank() values,
and we have a lot of duplicates due to the data set containing 1000
duplicate points. We're therefore going to produce 1000000 join
rows that have to be thrown away again by the join filter.
We can improve matters by using row_number() instead of rank(),
so that the initial join keys are unique. The catch is that
that makes the results sensitive to the sorting of rows with
equal distances from the reference point. That doesn't matter
for the actually-equal points, but as luck would have it, the
data set also contains two distinct points that have identical
distances to the origin. So those two rows could legitimately
appear in either order, causing unwanted output from the check
queries.
However, it doesn't seem like it's the job of this test to
check whether the <-> operator correctly computes distances;
its charter is just to verify that SP-GiST emits the values
in distance order. So we can dodge the indeterminacy problem
by having the check only compare row numbers and distances
not the actual point values.
This change reduces the run time of create_index_spgist by a good
three-quarters, on my machine, with ensuing beneficial effects on

Split up a couple of long-running regression test scripts.
The point of this change is to increase the potential for parallelism
while running the core regression tests. Most people these days are
using parallel testing modes on multi-core machines, so we might as
well try a bit harder to keep multiple cores busy. Hence, a test that
runs much longer than others in its parallel group is a candidate to
be sub-divided.
In this patch, create_index.sql and join.sql are split up.
I haven't changed the content of the tests in any way, just
moved them.
I moved create_index.sql's SP-GiST-related tests into a new script
create_index_spgist, and moved its btree multilevel page deletion test
over to the existing script btree_index. (btree_index is a more natural
home for that test, and it's shorter than others in its parallel group,
so this doesn't hurt total runtime of that group.) There might be
room for more aggressive splitting of create_index, but this is enough
to improve matters considerably.
Likewise, I moved join.sql's "exercises for the hash join code" into
a new file join_hash. Those exercises contributed three-quarters of
the script's runtime. Which might well be excessive ... but for the
moment, I'm satisfied with shoving them into a different parallel
group, where they can share runtime with the roughly-equally-lengthy
gist test.
(Note for anybody following along at home: there are interesting
interactions between the runtimes of create_index and anything running
in parallel with it, because the tests of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY
in that file will repeatedly block waiting for concurrent transactions
to commit. As committed in this patch, create_index and
create_index_spgist have roughly equal runtimes, but that's mostly an
artifact of forced synchronization of the CONCURRENTLY tests; when run
serially, create_index is much faster. A followup patch will reduce
the runtime of create_index_spgist and thereby also create_index.)

Move plpgsql error-trapping tests to a new module-specific test file.
The test for statement timeout has a 2-second timeout, which was only
moderately annoying when it was written, but nowadays it contributes
a pretty significant chunk of the elapsed time needed to run the core
regression tests on a fast machine. We can improve this situation by
pushing the test into a plpgsql-specific test file instead of having
it in a core regression test. That's a clean win when considering
just the core tests. Even when considering check-world or a buildfarm
test run, we should come out ahead because the core tests get run
more times in those sequences.
Furthermore, since the plpgsql tests aren't currently parallelized,
it seems likely that the timing problems reflected in commit f1e671a0b
(which increased that timeout from 1 sec to 2) will be much less severe
in this context. Hence, let's try cutting the timeout back to 1 second
in hopes of a further win for check-world. We can undo that if
buildfarm experience proves it to be a bad idea.
To give the new test file some modicum of intellectual coherency,
I moved the surrounding tests related to error-trapping along with
the statement timeout test proper. Those other tests don't run long
enough to have any particular bearing on test-runtime considerations.
The tests are the same as before, except with minor adjustments to
not depend on an externally-created table.
Code coverage comparisons confirm that the tests using
quad_poly_tbl_ord_seq1/quad_poly_tbl_ord_idx1 hit no code
paths not also covered by the similar tests using
quad_poly_tbl_ord_seq2/quad_poly_tbl_ord_idx2. Since these

by the SQL spec, see statements about linearly vs. nonlinearly
recursive queries). Bug fix for commit 608b167f9.
Per report from Yaroslav Schekin (via Andrew Gierth)
Commit 25ee70511ec2 introduced a memory leak in pgbench: some PGresult
structs were not being freed during error bailout, because we're now
doing more PQgetResult() calls than previously. Since there's more
cleanup code outside the discard_response() routine than in it, refactor
the cleanup code, removing the routine.
This has little effect currently, since we abandon processing after
hitting errors, but if we ever get further pgbench features (such as
testing for serializable transactions), it'll matter.

Test some more cases with partitioned tables in EvalPlanQual.
We weren't testing anything involving EPQ on UPDATEs that move tuples
into different partitions. Depending on the implementation,
it might be that these cases aren't actually very interesting ...
but given our thin coverage of EPQ in general, I think it's a good
idea to have a test case.
