Fix yet more portability bugs in integerset and its tests.
There were more large constants that needed UINT64CONST. And one variable
was declared as "int", when it needed to be uint64. These bugs were only
visible on 32-bit systems; clearly I should've tested on one, given that
this code does a lot of work with 64-bit integers.
Also, in the test "huge distances" test, the code created some values with
random distances between them, but the test logic didn't take into account
the possibility that the random distance was exactly 1. That never actually
happens with the seed we're using, but let's be tidy.
Buildfarm member 'woodlouse' failed one of the tests, and I'm not sure
which test failed. Better to print the names of the tests, so that it
will appear in the regression.diffs on failure.
To do this, we scan GiST two times. In the first pass we make note of
empty leaf pages and internal pages. At second pass we scan through
internal pages, looking for downlinks to the empty pages.
Deleting internal pages is still not supported, like in nbtree, the last
child of an internal page is never deleted. That means that if you have a
workload where new keys are always inserted to different area than where
old keys are removed, the index will still grow without bound. But the rate
of growth will be an order of magnitude slower than before.
Add IntegerSet, to hold large sets of 64-bit ints efficiently.
The set is implemented as a B-tree, with a compact representation at leaf
items, using Simple-8b algorithm, so that clusters of nearby values use
less memory.
The IntegerSet isn't used for anything yet, aside from the test code, but
we have two patches in the works that would benefit from this: A patch to
allow GiST vacuum to delete empty pages, and a patch to reduce heap
VACUUM's memory usage, by storing the list of dead TIDs more efficiently
and lifting the 1 GB limit on its size.
This includes a unit test module, in src/test/modules/test_integerset.
It can be used to verify correctness, as a regression test, but if you run
it manully, it can also print memory usage and execution time of some of
the tests.

Collations with nondeterministic comparison
This adds a flag "deterministic" to collations. If that is false,
such a collation disables various optimizations that assume that
strings are equal only if they are byte-wise equal. That then allows
use cases such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive comparisons
or handling of strings with different Unicode normal forms.
This functionality is only supported with the ICU provider. At least

This patch makes changes in three areas:
- CREATE COLLATION DDL changes and system catalog changes to support
this new flag.
- Many executor nodes and auxiliary code are extended to track
collations. Previously, this code would just throw away collation
information, because the eventually-called user-defined functions
didn't use it since they only cared about equality, which didn't
need collation information.
- String data type functions that do equality comparisons and hashing
are changed to take the (non-)deterministic flag into account. For
comparison, this just means skipping various shortcuts and tie
breakers that use byte-wise comparison. For hashing, we first need
to convert the input string to a canonical "sort key" using the ICU

Allow amcheck to re-find tuples using new search.

advantage of the uniqueness property of heapkeyspace indexes in support

the leaf level) can optionally be re-found using a new search for each,
that starts from the root page. If a tuple cannot be re-found, report
that the index is corrupt.
The new "rootdescend" verification option is exhaustive, and can
therefore make a call to bt_index_parent_check() take a lot longer.
Re-finding tuples during verification is mostly intended as an option
for backend developers, since the corruption scenarios that it alone is
uniquely capable of detecting seem fairly far-fetched.
For example, "rootdescend" verification is much more likely to detect
corruption of the least significant byte of a key from a pivot tuple in
the root page of a B-Tree that already has at least three levels.
Typically, only a few tuples on a cousin leaf page are at risk of
"getting overlooked" by index scans in this scenario. The corrupt key
in the root page is only slightly corrupt: corrupt enough to give wrong
answers to some queries, and yet not corrupt enough to allow the problem
to be detected without verifying agreement between the leaf page and the
root page, skipping at least one internal page level. The existing
bt_index_parent_check() checks never cross more than a single level.

Consider secondary factors during nbtree splits.
Teach nbtree to give some consideration to how "distinguishing"
candidate leaf page split points are. This should not noticeably affect
the balance of free space within each half of the split, while still
making suffix truncation truncate away significantly more attributes on
average.
The logic for choosing a leaf split point now uses a fallback mode in
the case where the page is full of duplicates and it isn't possible to
find even a minimally distinguishing split point. When the page is full
of duplicates, the split should pack the left half very tightly, while
leaving the right half mostly empty. Our assumption is that logical
duplicates will almost always be inserted in ascending heap TID order
with v4 indexes. This strategy leaves most of the free space on the
half of the split that will likely be where future logical duplicates of
the same value need to be placed.
The number of cycles added is not very noticeable. This is important
because deciding on a split point takes place while at least one
exclusive buffer lock is held. We avoid using authoritative insertion
scankey comparisons to save cycles, unlike suffix truncation proper. We
use a faster binary comparison instead.
Note that even pg_upgrade'd v3 indexes make use of these optimizations.
Benchmarking has shown that even v3 indexes benefit, despite the fact
that suffix truncation will only truncate non-key attributes in INCLUDE
indexes. Grouping relatively similar tuples together is beneficial in
and of itself, since it reduces the number of leaf pages that must be
accessed by subsequent index scans.

Make heap TID a tiebreaker nbtree index column.
Make nbtree treat all index tuples as having a heap TID attribute.
Index searches can distinguish duplicates by heap TID, since heap TID is
always guaranteed to be unique. This general approach has numerous
benefits for performance, and is prerequisite to teaching VACUUM to
perform "retail index tuple deletion".
Naively adding a new attribute to every pivot tuple has unacceptable
overhead (it bloats internal pages), so suffix truncation of pivot
tuples is added. This will usually truncate away the "extra" heap TID
attribute from pivot tuples during a leaf page split, and may also
truncate away additional user attributes. This can increase fan-out,
especially in a multi-column index. Truncation can only occur at the
attribute granularity, which isn't particularly effective, but works
well enough for now. A future patch may add support for truncating
"within" text attributes by generating truncated key values using new
opclass infrastructure.
Only new indexes (BTREE_VERSION 4 indexes) will have insertions that
treat heap TID as a tiebreaker attribute, or will have pivot tuples
undergo suffix truncation during a leaf page split (on-disk
compatibility with versions 2 and 3 is preserved). Upgrades to version
4 cannot be performed on-the-fly, unlike upgrades from version 2 to
version 3. contrib/amcheck continues to work with version 2 and 3
indexes, while also enforcing stricter invariants when verifying version
4 indexes. These stricter invariants are the same invariants described
by "3.1.12 Sequencing" from the Lehman and Yao paper.
A later patch will enhance the logic used by nbtree to pick a split
point. This patch is likely to negatively impact performance without
smarter choices around the precise point to split leaf pages at. Making
these two mostly-distinct sets of enhancements into distinct commits
seems like it might clarify their design, even though neither commit is
particularly useful on its own.
The maximum allowed size of new tuples is reduced by an amount equal to
the space required to store an extra MAXALIGN()'d TID in a new high key
during leaf page splits. The user-facing definition of the "1/3 of a
page" restriction is already imprecise, and so does not need to be
revised. However, there should be a compatibility note in the v12
release notes.

searches need to restore lower and upper bounds. They cannot simply

the heap TID tiebreaker column must be used in comparisons for the
restored binary search (unlike the original _bt_check_unique() binary

Restructure libpq's handling of send failures.
Originally, if libpq got a failure (e.g., ECONNRESET) while trying to
send data to the server, it would just report that and wash its hands
of the matter. It was soon found that that wasn't a very pleasant way
of coping with server-initiated disconnections, so we introduced a hack
(pqHandleSendFailure) in the code that sends queries to make it peek
ahead for server error reports before reporting the send failure.
It now emerges that related cases can occur during connection setup;
in particular, as of TLS 1.3 it's unsafe to assume that SSL connection
failures will be reported by SSL_connect rather than during our first
send attempt. We could have fixed that in a hacky way by applying
pqHandleSendFailure after a startup packet send failure, but
(a) pqHandleSendFailure explicitly disclaims suitability for use in any
state except query startup, and (b) the problem still potentially exists
for other send attempts in libpq.
Instead, let's fix this in a more general fashion by eliminating
pqHandleSendFailure altogether, and instead arranging to postpone
all reports of send failures in libpq until after we've made an
attempt to read and process server messages. The send failure won't
be reported at all if we find a server message or detect input EOF.
(Note: this removes one of the reasons why libpq typically overwrites,
rather than appending to, conn->errorMessage: pqHandleSendFailure needed
that behavior so that the send failure report would be replaced if we
got a server message or read failure report. Eventually I'd like to get
rid of that overwrite behavior altogether, but today is not that day.
For the moment, pqSendSome is assuming that its callees will overwrite
not append to conn->errorMessage.)

much less likely, our kill() call fails). However buildfarm experience
shows that that's not quite enough for slow or heavily-loaded machines.
There's no good reason to assume that the checkpointer won't start
eventually, so we may as well make the timeout much longer, say 60 sec.
However, if the caller didn't say CHECKPOINT_WAIT, it seems like a bad
idea to be waiting at all, much less for as long as 60 sec. We can
remove the need for that, and make this whole thing more robust, by
adjusting the code so that the existence of a pending checkpoint
request is clear from the contents of shared memory, and making sure
that the checkpointer process will notice it at startup even if it did
not get a signal. In this way there's no need for a non-CHECKPOINT_WAIT
call to wait at all; if it can't send the signal, it can nonetheless
assume that the checkpointer will eventually service the request.
A potential downside of this change is that "kill -INT" on the checkpointer
process is no longer enough to trigger a checkpoint, should anyone be
relying on something so hacky. But there's no obvious reason to do it
like that rather than issuing a plain old CHECKPOINT command, so we'll

Fix optimization of foreign-key on update actions
In RI_FKey_pk_upd_check_required(), we check among other things
whether the old and new key are equal, so that we don't need to run
cascade actions when nothing has actually changed. This was using the
equality operator. But the effect of this is that if a value in the
primary key is changed to one that "looks" different but compares as
equal, the update is not propagated. (Examples are float -0 and 0 and
case-insensitive text.) This appears to violate the SQL standard, and
it also behaves inconsistently if in a multicolumn key another key is
also updated that would cause the row to compare as not equal.
To fix, if we are looking at the PK table in ri_KeysEqual(), then do a
bytewise comparison similar to record_image_eq() instead of using the
equality operators. This only makes a difference for ON UPDATE
CASCADE, but for consistency we treat all changes to the PK the same. For
the FK table, we continue to use the equality operators.

Refactor more code logic to update the control file
ce6afc6 has begun the refactoring work by plugging pg_rewind into a
central routine to update the control file, and left around two extra
copies, with one in xlog.c for the backend and one in pg_resetwal.c. By
adding an extra option to the central routine in controldata_utils.c to
control if a flush of the control file needs to be done, it is proving
to be straight-forward to make xlog.c and pg_resetwal.c use the central
code path at the condition of moving the wait event tracking there.
Hence, this allows to have only one central code path to update the
control file, shaving the code from the duplicates.
This refactoring actually fixes a problem in pg_resetwal. Previously,
the control file was first removed before being recreated. So if a
crash happened between the moment the file was removed and the moment
the file was created, then it would have been possible to not have a
control file anymore in the database folder.

Fix pg_rewind when rewinding new database with tables included
This fixes an issue introduced by 266b6ac, which has added filters to
exclude file patterns on the target and source data directories to
reduce the number of files transferred. Filters get applied to both
the target and source data files, and include pg_internal.init which is
present for each database once relations are created on it. However, if
the target differed from the source with at least one new database with
relations, the rewind would fail due to the exclusion filters applied on
the target files, causing pg_internal.init to still be present on the
target database folder, while its contents should have been completely
removed so as there is nothing remaining inside at the time of the
folder deletion.
Applying exclusion filters on the source files is fine, because this way
the amount of data copied from the source to the target is reduced. And
actually, not applying the filters on the target is what pg_rewind
should do, because this causes such files to be automatically removed
during the rewind on the target. Exclusion filters apply to paths which
are removed or recreated automatically at startup, so removing all those
files on the target during the rewind is a win.
The existing set of TAP tests already stresses the rewind of databases,
but it did not include any tables on those newly-created databases.
Creating extra tables in this case is enough to reproduce the failure,
so the existing tests are extended to close the gap.

Don't propagate PGAPPNAME through pg_ctl in tests
When libpq is loaded in the server (for instance, by
libpqwalreceiver), it may use libpq environment variables set in the
postmaster environment for connection parameter defaults. This has
some confusing effects in our test suites. For example, the TAP test
infrastructure sets PGAPPNAME to allow identifying clients in the
server log. But this environment variable is also inherited by
temporary servers started with pg_ctl and is then in turn used by
libpqwalreceiver as the application_name for connecting to remote
servers where it then shows up in pg_stat_replication and is relevant
for things like synchronous_standby_names. Replication already has a
suitable default for application_name, and overriding that
accidentally then requires the individual test cases to re-override
that, which is all very confusing and unnecessary.
To fix, unset PGAPPNAME temporarily before running pg_ctl start or
restart in the tests.
More comprehensive approaches like unsetting all environment variables
in pg_ctl were considered but might be too complicated to achieve
portably.

Further reduce memory footprint of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing.
Some buildfarm members using CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS have been having OOM
problems of late. Commit 2455ab488 addressed this problem by recovering
space transiently used within RelationBuildPartitionDesc, but it turns
out that leaves quite a lot on the table, because other subroutines of
RelationBuildDesc also leak memory like mad. Let's move the temp-context
management into RelationBuildDesc so that leakage from the other
subroutines is also recovered.
I examined this issue by arranging for postgres.c to dump the size of
MessageContext just before resetting it in each command cycle, and
then running the update.sql regression test (which is one of the two
that are seeing buildfarm OOMs) with and without CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.
Before 2455ab488, the peak space usage with CCA was as much as 250MB.
That patch got it down to ~80MB, but with this patch it's about 0.5MB,
and indeed the space usage now seems nearly indistinguishable from a
non-CCA build.
RelationBuildDesc's traditional behavior of not worrying about leaking
transient data is of many years' standing, so I'm pretty hesitant to
change that without more evidence that it'd be useful in a normal build.
(So far as I can see, non-CCA memory consumption is about the same with
or without this change, whuch if anything suggests that it isn't useful.)
Hence, configure the patch so that we recover space only when
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS or CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined. However,
that choice can be overridden at compile time, in case somebody would
like to do some performance testing and try to develop evidence for
changing that decision.
It's possible that we ought to back-patch this change, but in the
absence of back-branch OOM problems in the buildfarm, I'm not in
a hurry to do that.

The first backend to observe the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag (set by

SERIALIZABLEXACT itself will remain active because other backends

Whenever any backend notices the SXACT_FLAG_RO_SAFE flag, it clears
its own MySerializableXact variable and frees local resources so that
it can skip SSI checks for the rest of the transaction. In the
special case of the leader process, it transfers the SERIALIZABLEXACT
to a new variable SavedSerializableXact, so that it can be completely
released at the end of the transaction after all workers have exited.
