Improve psql's \d command to show whether index columns are key columns.
This is essential information when looking at an index that has

avoid hard-wired column numbers and multiple repetitions of what needs
to be identical test logic. This also results in the emitted catalog
query corresponding more closely to what we print, which should be a

Fix pg_get_indexdef()'s behavior for included index columns.
The multi-argument form of pg_get_indexdef() failed to print anything when
asked to print a single index column that is an included column rather than
a key column. This seems an unintentional result of someone having tried
to take a short-cut and use the attrsOnly flag for two different purposes.
To fix, split said flag into two flags, attrsOnly which suppresses
non-attribute info, and keysOnly which suppresses included columns.
Add a test case using psql's \d command, which relies on that function.
(It's mighty tempting at this point to replace pg_get_indexdef_worker's

This script supposed that if it turned hot_standby_feedback on and then

Drop the rule against included index columns duplicating key columns.
The initial version of the included-index-column feature stated that
included columns couldn't be the same as any key column of the index.
While it'd be pretty silly to do that, since the included column would be
entirely redundant, we've never prohibited redundant index columns before
so it's not very consistent to do so here. Moreover, the prohibition
was itself badly implemented, so that it failed to reject columns that
were effectively identical but not spelled quite alike, as reported by
Aditya Toshniwal.
(Moreover, it's not hard to imagine that for some non-btree index types,
such cases would be non-silly anyhow: the index might use a lossy

Fix bugs with degenerate window ORDER BY clauses in GROUPS/RANGE mode.
nodeWindowAgg.c failed to cope with the possibility that no ordering
columns are defined in the window frame for GROUPS mode or RANGE OFFSET
mode, leading to assertion failures or odd errors, as reported by Masahiko
Sawada and Lukas Eder. In RANGE OFFSET mode, an ordering column is really
required, so add an Assert about that. In GROUPS mode, the code would
work, except that the node initialization code wasn't in sync with the
execution code about when to set up tuplestore read pointers and spare
slots. Fix the latter for consistency's sake (even though I think the
changes described below make the out-of-sync cases unreachable for now).
Per SQL spec, a single ordering column is required for RANGE OFFSET mode,
and at least one ordering column is required for GROUPS mode. The parser
enforced the former but not the latter; add a check for that.
We were able to reach the no-ordering-column cases even with fully spec
compliant queries, though, because the planner would drop partitioning
and ordering columns from the generated plan if they were redundant with
earlier columns according to the redundant-pathkey logic, for instance
"PARTITION BY x ORDER BY y" in the presence of a "WHERE x=y" qual.
While in principle that's an optimization that could save some pointless
comparisons at runtime, it seems unlikely to be meaningful in the real
world. I think this behavior was not so much an intentional optimization
as a side-effect of an ancient decision to construct the plan node's
ordering-column info by reverse-engineering the PathKeys of the input
path. If we give up redundant-column removal then it takes very little
code to generate the plan node info directly from the WindowClause,
ensuring that we have the expected number of ordering columns in all
cases. (If anyone does complain about this, the planner could perhaps
be taught to remove redundant columns only when it's safe to do so,
ie *not* in RANGE OFFSET mode. But I doubt anyone ever will.)
With these changes, the WindowAggPath.winpathkeys field is not used for
anything anymore, so remove it.

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

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

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

languages, this is usually not a problem, because those use SPI and SPI

This change revealed another problem: In SPI_commit(), we popped the

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
updated.
Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first
place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of
minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded
into a full-fledged patch by me. The test included in this commit has
been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified
to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases.
Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3

process anymore. The test gets easily supported down to 10, still it
has been tested on all branches.

Check for interrupts inside the nbtree page deletion code.
When deleting pages the nbtree code has to walk through siblings of a
tree node. When those sibling links are corrupted that can lead to
endless loops - which are currently not interruptible. This is
especially problematic if autovacuum is repeatedly blocked on such
indexes, as it can be hard to get out of that situation without
resorting to single user mode.
Thus add interrupt checks to appropriate places in such
loops. Unfortunately in one of the cases it's it's not easy to do so.

Improve the performance of relation deletes during recovery.
When multiple relations are deleted at the same transaction,
the files of those relations are deleted by one call to smgrdounlinkall(),
which leads to scan whole shared_buffers only one time. OTOH,
previously, during recovery, smgrdounlink() (not smgrdounlinkall()) was
called for each file to delete, which led to scan shared_buffers
multiple times. Obviously this could cause to increase the WAL replay
time very much especially when shared_buffers was huge.
To alleviate this situation, this commit changes the recovery so that
it also calls smgrdounlinkall() only one time to delete multiple
relation files.
This is just fix for oversight of commit 279628a0a7, not new feature.
So, per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we concluded to backpatch this

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.
Liberally sprinkle code comments, and rewrite a few existing ones. This
part is my (Álvaro's) contribution to this commit, as I had to write all
